Dictador 12 Year Solera
Rum Review: Dictador 12 Year Aged Solera Rum 92/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Revised and Republished December 2014
Dictador is produced in Colombia on the Caribbean coast at Cartagena de Indias City. Rather than being produced from molasses, the rum is produced from the virgin honey of sugar cane which has been distilled upon a stainless steel alembic, and aged using Dicatador's unique take on the solera-style aging system. Although the rum is produced upon a stainless steel alembic, the inner workings of this still contain more than enough copper such that it functions in basically the same manner as a copper pot still.
Interestingly, the choice of the distillery to use sugar cane honey rather than molasses is based upon a peculiarity of Colombian government policy. It seems that the country has mandated that automobiles in Colombia must use a certain percentage of biofuels in conjunction with gasoline as their fuel source. As molasses is the most readily available source of biofuel, almost all molasses produced in Columbia is earmarked for biofuel production. This means that the folks at Dictador Rum have little choice but to produce and use their own sugar cane honey for rum production.
Dictator's solera aging system is a cascading process where younger rums are aged in oak casks and then blended with older rums. The aged rum are arranged in different flights with the oldest distilled rum on the lowest levels of the Solera. The younger rums are placed on the upper levels with the very youngest rums at the top. As the rum is pulled from the lowest barrels for bottling, the barrels are not fully emptied, and those barrels (about half full) are then topped up with rum from the levels just above. This marrying of old and new softens the fiery younger rum and provides the final blended rum with a refined smoothness and flavor not found in ordinary rums.
A unique feature of the Dictador Solera System is that in addition to the younger rums being married with older rums, the barrels of similarly aged rums along one level of the solera are periodically consolidated to keep the barrels as full as possible to maintain fuller contact with the wood, and to inhibit the acceleration of the evaporation within the barrels.
The Dictador 12 Year Old Rum, is a solera aged rum which is taken from the solera at the point where the age of the rum within that solera row is at least 12 years of age. Some older rum is certainly within those barrels as well.) This rum is bottle at 40 % alcohol by volume.
In the Bottle 5/5
Dictador is a new rum which attempts to meld European marketing style and a Japanese designed bottle presentation with Colombian rum. The product exudes style and luxury and practically has your mouth-watering before you even open the bottle. In my opinion, it is just plain sexy!
I have actually heard complaints from some quarters that the bottle design and presentation is too sexy. To those persons I can only remind them that this is Rum, not soda pop. Let's face it, a nice sexy bottle on the top of the bar is better than something which looks just ordinary.
I love the bottle; I love the sleek box it is contained in; and I love this attention to presentation detail!
In the Glass 9/10
When poured, the rum has a light copper colour with amber highlights when it is held up to the light. A quick tilt of my glass and a slow swirl reveals a multitude of thickened legs running with moderate quickness down the sides of the glass back into the rum. The initial nose is very pleasant, full of rich baking spices which include a brown sugary toffee rising from the glass as well as cinnamon, and vanilla. There is a light accent of marzipan which reminds me of toasted almonds and charred marshmallow. I also sense fresh and dry fruit and a complex oak profile that is firm but not too strong.
To hold the glass and nose it for a few minutes is a wonderful thing!
This is nicely balanced and very complex. A light oak smokiness present in the rum seems to be acting to carry the other elements in the rum forward. I liken this to a well aged brandy in its delivery and in the manner in which the oak leads out in front without devouring the other flavours.
The rum is not as sweet on the palate as it was on the nose. It is however, very soft with a slightly oily mouth-feel. There is a good amount of oak tannin and citrus zest which leads out and makes everything mildly spicy. This sensation is quickly followed by flavours of dark toffee which have turned slightly to treacle, and a moderate amount of vanilla oak. A yummy marzipan which reminds me of toasted almonds smothered in roasted marshmallows is nestled nicely under the oak and spice. A touch of coffee, a hint of ripe cherry, and more charred flavours (perhaps some toasted coconut) seem to arrive at the end with a sherry-like smokiness which also brings nuances of dry fruit and cocoa to the fore.
This is very nice!
In the Throat 13.5/15
The complexity seems to taper in the exit which provides a firm but soft landing for the rum. The dry fruit flavours and oak tannins have the last say in a finish which builds towards bitterness but never arrives there.
The Afterburn 9/10
I am even more impressed now than I was when I received my first taste of several years ago. I have been told by the producers of the rum that the average age of the 12 Year Old Rum has increased by a few years since it was first introduced which perhaps explains why its score has crept up in this most recent review. The Dictador 12 Year Solera is a complex rum full of oak nuances and dry fruit which achieves a full flavour while maintaining proper balance and complexity.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipes:
The complex flavours of the Dictador reminded me a little of a nice rich Brandy. So I am going to recommend mixing a 'Side Car' cocktail replacing the Brandy in the recipe with the Dictador 12 year Solera.
The Dictador Side Car
1 oz Dictador Rum
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lemon juice
Lemon peel
Pour the Rum, the Cointreau, and the Lemon juice into a metal shaker
Shake firmly to chill the mixture.
Strain the mixed ingredients into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass
Garnish with a small strip of lemon rind
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

This is a stunning rum. Complex and full of flavour.
Definitely up there with the Pampero Aniversario for me. I'm definitely looking at the scores you are attributing to rums as I'm finding that we seem to have a similar taste in the older rums. I think perhaps like me you enjoy something a little different.

Boy with illness gifted with new wheelchair for Christmas
14-year-old battling spina bifida receives gift from Jacksonville police
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the old saying goes, it is better to give than to receive this holiday season. For a Oceanway boy battling a debilitating illness, Christmas came a day early.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers presented 14-year-old Tristan Sprouse on Monday afternoon with a new wheelchair and lots of gifts. Police all chipped in to help raise the money.
Sprouse said he was excited about it and can't wait to take it out on the streets. He said it's definitely something he's going to use everyday.
The officers gathered outside had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"We were going to put something on there to stop you (Tristan) from popping wheelies, but you like to pop wheelies every once in a while, and I think that's a wheelie popper," said Assistant Chief Bobby Deal.
For Sprouse, this Christmas gift means more than any toys he could have gotten. The teen has battled muscular dystrophy since he was born. It's left him paralyzed from the waist down.
His family, dealing with losing their home in a fire, couldn't afford a new wheelchair for him.
"My last one broke, but this is the first one that has actually been given to me," said Sprouse.
Shannon Judge is the assistant principal at Sprouse's school, Ocean Middle, and saw a need to help out.
"He goes to our school and his normal wheelchair was broken," said Judge. "Last year in seventh grade, we had the custodians try to fix it the best they could. But they didn't have the parts. So, they were wiring stuff together and duct taping stuff together."
Judge asked her husband, a lieutenant with JSO, if police could get involved. And they did.
Zone 3 officers, who patrol from downtown to Mandarin, pooled together their money, and bought a brand new, custom built wheelchair for Sprouse. They also hooked him up with enough clothes and hats to last him a very long time.
"You are a real trooper and all of us admire you," said Deal.
Doctors expect Sprouse to get out of the hospital soon. Sprouse said he can't wait to go back to school and show off his new wheels and gifts at Oceanway Middle.

What: Ramona High mountain biking team
Riders: Squad fluctuates between eight and 11 members
Coach: Robert Grace
Competition: SoCal High School Cycling League, which is sanctioned by the National Interscholastic Cycling Association
Schedule: Six races for 2013, beginning with the Vail Lake Challenge on Feb. 24 and culminating with the state championships on May 19 at Stafford Lake Park in Marin County

As a welding and auto shop instructor at Ramona High, Robert Grace has a knack for putting things together.
One of his current projects involves anywhere from 16 to 22 spoked wheels, a plethora of gears and sprockets, and a chain gang of high-energy teenagers. Ramona is one of only two high schools in San Diego County (Eastlake is the other) to offer its students the opportunity to put the pedals to their mettle in team competition.
With Grace as its coach, the Ramona mountain biking team is embarking on its third season. At a school perhaps better known for its successful football program, a strong Navy Jr. ROTC unit and an award-winning marching band, the mountain biking team is beginning to establish its niche.
"I want these kids to enjoy riding so they can do it for the rest of their lives," Grace said before taking the team out for a recent training ride from the school toward Ramona Airport and trails beyond. "That's not something you can do playing football or many other sports."
Also along for the 12-mile ride is David Ostermann, the assistant superintendent for the Ramona Unified School District and a seasoned cyclist himself.
"With the kids today, not all of them want to be in traditional sports," Ostermann said. "It's great to be able to offer them something like this."
It didn't take long for the Ramona mountain bikers to establish themselves. In their first season, the Bulldogs took runner-up honors in Division II (teams with 12 or fewer riders) with their second-place team finish at the 2011 SoCal Finals at Vail Lake.
Last year, a pair of Ramona riders, Garrett Gaither and Kyle Skeen, built upon their freshman season with strong results in their second year of team competition. Gaither began the Division II varsity season with a top-10 finish at the Vail Lake Challenge before establishing himself with a series of fifth-place finishes, including at the 2012 SoCal Finals at Lake Arrowhead, where the Bulldogs finished ninth among 18 teams.
"My dad rides a lot, and he thought it would be cool if I tried racing," Gaither said of his inspiration to begin racing mountain bikes. "I placed third in my first race at Lake Morena. It's funny now when I think about how I showed up in a T-shirt and baggy shorts."
Gaither's riding apparel is much more streamlined these days, and he has built quite a bit on his mileage.
"I would estimate that Garrett put in a little under 7,000 miles last year," Grace said.
Gaither fell ill the week of the state championships and finished 20th in the 2012 season finale. He expects more from himself this year.
"Top three at SoCal and top three at state, hopefully," Gaither said. "I expect nothing less than that, but it will take a lot of focus. You have to have a strong mindset. If every rider does the same training and has close to the same ability, you have to be confident. If you're not, you have no chance."
Skeen also had a productive sophomore season while competing in the Division II junior varsity category. After falling short of first place by six seconds in the season opener at Vail Lake, Skeen went on to win his next five races, including a victory out of 40 riders in the Division II JV race at the state championships in Los Olivos.
"I started riding the local trails as a kid and I just grew into it," Skeen said. "When I heard that our school was starting a race team, I definitely wanted to try out.
"It's fun to represent your school and to watch the new kids progress and get better each race."
Skeen appears to be well-prepared for his junior season after recently winning his age-group race at the 12 & 6 Hours of Temecula, the premier event of the SoCal Endurance Series. Competing in the event last month at Vail Lake, Skeen placed first in the 6-Hour Jr. Solo race, in which he was one of only two riders to complete at least seven laps on the hilly, 8.65-mile course.
For good measure, the next day Skeen won the Junior 14-17 Division in the SoCal Enduro downhill race, also held at Vail.
"Between Garrett and Kyle, we have two of the stronger riders in the league," said Grace, a 1983 graduate of Ramona who ran cross country and track in high school before setting his sights on BMX racing.
The current Ramona squad also has one female member, senior Megan Storton, who has traded in her softball glove for an opportunity to race mountain bikes.
"Coach Grace asked me to come out and try it," Storton said. "It's the most exercise I've had since I played softball."
Storton has yet to log any racing experience.
"The biggest thing for me right now is understanding how to ride the right way," she said. "I didn't even know there was a right way to ride."
One of the advantages offered to novice racers is that their bikes can be arranged to their benefit.
"These bikes are tunable for each rider," Grace said of the aluminum-frame two-wheelers that can range in cost from a couple of hundred dollars to $3,000. "You can buy an a-la-carte bike or you can buy a ready-to-go bike. You can change out gearing, brakes, wheels, and you can apply different air pressure to the shocks.
"You're dealing with rocks and ruts out there, so for me, it's all about comfort. But for guys like Garrett and Kyle, every ounce of energy goes toward moving forward instead of suspension."
And moving forward seems to be the only direction for the Ramona mountain biking team.
"For a place like Ramona, it just makes sense to have a program like this," Ostermann said. "You just meet at the high school and off you go."

'Parks and Recreation' Recap: Emotional Guardian
Woodworking awards, a holiday party thrown by Jerry, the return of Tammy 2 (and maybe another much-beloved character, hint hint) — the Parks and Recreation mid-season finale has everything I could ever want (and maybe a little bit more). No more waiting, let's get to it!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Yay, Jingle Good For You
Ron has been nominated for an Indiana Fine Woodworking Award! While you might not be able to tell from his stoic expression and relaxed posture, Ron is very excited. Good thing Leslie is full of enough outward enthusiasm for the both of them — and, like, a whole busload of kindergardeners on a sugar high. And Leslie can't wait to celebrate with Ron at the awards ceremony, whether Ron wants her there or not (which he doesn't).
You see, things are going well with Ron and Diane (Lucy Lawless), and he can't wait to share what may end up being the best night of his life with his new warrior princess — er, I mean, leading lady. For Ron, this will be a night filled with the smell of cedar, the taste of good whiskey, and, perhaps, the sound of applause, as he is recognized for a craft of which he is actually proud. There's only one thing that could screw this up. To be continued…
Jerry Dinner
Every time Jerry does something stupid and someone in the Parks Department laughs, they put a dollar in a box. At the end of the year, they take the money and go out to dinner. I present to you: The Jerry Dinner. It's mean, but also brilliant. This year, Tom, April, Andy, and Donna have raised $516 $517 $518, and they're ready to feast. Until, that is, Anne points out that what they are doing is deplorable.
With Ann's scolding words, a seed of doubt takes root in Donna's mind, one that sprouts as the gang-o-bullies makes their way to Jerry Dinner. Finally, unable to stomach one more Jerry Story ("My favorite was when he ate a bowl of glue," says April) and overcome with guilt, Donna decides to turn her car around and pick up Jerry. He will be the guest of honor at this year's Jerry Dinner.
But as the gang's car rounds the bend to Jerry's house, what to their wandering eyes should appear but a driveway full of cars and a home full of cheer. Jerry Gergich is hosting a Christmas party! And a bustling one at that. Chris, Ben, Ann, and tons of friends we couldn't even imagine Jerry having are sipping eggnog and munching on hors d'oeuvres under the mistletoe. The crew, now hungry for lack of Jerry Dinner, wants in. But ho! Not so fast. Ann is guarding the door like a righteous, angry troll and she requires a hefty toll to partake in A Very Gergich Christmas. The meanies must win back their good favor in the eyes of God and men by doing something nice for Jerry. Donna, who ended Jerry Dinner, can go inside. Everyone else is left out in the cold to think about what they've done.
Leslie Knope: Emotional Guardian
Tammy 2! Tammy 2 could screw up Ron's perfect night! Even as Ron prances and dances — no exaggeration here — giddily around the ballroom, a bone-rattling chill sweeps in and the smell of decaying library books grows thick in the air. Tammy 2 (Megan Mullally), clad in a low-cut red dress with nothing underneath (thanks pixelated screen!), has arrived to chip, chip, chip away at the ideal night Ron has built for himself. Leslie Knope, self-proclaimed Emotional Guardian of one, Ron Swanson and newfound appreciator of Diane, is on the case. She won't let a horny librarian get in the way of Ron's happiness!
Unfortunately, in tagging along to the awards ceremony and standing up to Tammy 2, Leslie shows just how close she is with Ron, and it's making Diane nervous. Diane can handle an aging harlot like Tammy, but she worries about Leslie's intimacy with Ron. After all, Leslie knows that Ron, "secretly loves artichokes and plums." While Ron is off hiding from Tammy, Diane slips away from the ceremony.
You're Jerry's Beautiful Wife… And You Look Like That
Inside the Gergich abode, merriment abounds. Jerry and his shockingly beautiful wife (Christie Brinkley) sing carols with their gorgeous daughters — seriously, what is in the Gergich ladies' water? — while Ben marvels at Chris' new positive outlook on life. Chris, now seeing his therapist 15 times a week, is able to handle such crippling blows as accidentally drinking non-non-fat eggnog and running into ex-girlfriend Millie Gergich, new fiancé in tow, without batting an eye. Way to go, champ! Keep up the good work.
Outside in Loserland, the irrational Jerry haters are coming to their senses. They discover that, thanks to their "Jerry Filter," they have missed years of nice emails from Jerry — including an invitation to his annual Christmas party. Tom, April, and Andy reach down deep inside their hearts to find the small pocket of goodwill they feel towards Jerry, and decide to donate their Jerry Dinner money to the Jerry Fart Attack fund. Welcome to the party, kids.
Ladies and Gentleman, But Especially Ladies
While Leslie staves off the wild, feral beast that is Tammy 2, Ron seeks out Diane. He takes her to Cozy's Bar, where he explains that, while he values Leslie as a dear friend, he would rather go to Europe than have a romantic relationship with her. He would, however, go to Europe if Diane wanted to — but not France. He draws the line at France. To prove to Diane that he is invested in their relationship, he decides to share with her something even Leslie doesn't know.
Everyone, help welcome Duke Silver to the stage.
Best line of the night: "Smart, funny, independent, and sexy? Diane Lewis? More like Diane Sawyer!"

Passengers on derailed train get to Bay safely
EMERYVILLE, Calif. – The westbound Amtrak train that derailed between Reno and Sacramento on Thursday, leaving 300 passengers and a crew of 15 stranded for more than 14 hours, finally pulled into Emeryville, in the San Francisco Bay area, on Friday morning.
No one was injured in the derailment, which was caused by the extreme weather conditions in the high, rugged mountains near Truckee, Calif., a company spokesman said.
"Our attendant mentioned something was not right, but for a long time we didn't know what had happened," said Claeburn Lockwood, who boarded the train in Denver, Col. at 8 a.m. Wednesday with her daughter. "Some people were scared, and that scared me too."
The California Zephyr train was headed to the Bay area when it derailed at 1 p.m. on Thursday. It got under way again about 3:30 a.m. Friday, Amtrak spokesman Dan Stessel.
Stessel said the exact cause of the derailment was not known, but said it had been snowing heavily in the area at the time of the incident. An eastbound engine used to clear snow from the tracks had passed a site west of the derailment, and authorities suspect it may have piled snow onto the westbound tracks.
Passengers had some food and water on board, but the train suffered power outages that shut off the heat and light when the engines were disconnected so the train could be reassembled on an adjacent track, Stessel said.
"The food ran out at about five in the afternoon," said Claeburn Lockwood's 13-year-old daughter, Azzurra Lockwood, adding that the toilets didn't flush for about 12 hours, increasing the discomfort.
But Claeburn Lockwood, who's been traveling by train for 20 years, said this was probably just "one of those things that just happen," and that the staff on board the train were great about accommodating passengers.
The two intend to continue traveling by train, Claeburn Lockwood said as she and her daughter prepared for the 12-hour wait to catch the next train they need to get home to Portland, Ore.
The storm also shut down the main highways linking Northern California and Nevada just hours into the new year. Even local ski resorts, brimming with new snow, shut down on Thursday after facing howling winds of up to 120 miles per hour.
"It is wild up here," Alpine Meadows spokeswoman Rachael Woods said after the resort on Lake Tahoe's northwest shore closed down on Thursday. The resort reopened Friday under a heavy blizzard of snow.

In the US, the word "Latino" is used often, regardless of accuracy, as shorthand for a region's dominant Latino population. In the southwest it usually means "Mexican," in the northeast it means "Puerto Rican" and in Florida, "Cuban." Indeed, those are the three largest populations of Latino-Americanos in the country, although it goes without saying that there are many less-recognized groups of Latinos. Each have their own distinct culture, history, and place in America.
This entry is about Hondurans, who at an estimated 527,154 (although possibly as high as 890,317) currently living in the US, make up the eighth (or seventh, depending on figures) largest Latino population in the country.
Upon assuming the office of president in 1981, Ronald Reagan authorized the CIA to have their paramilitary officers from the Special Activities Division begin financing, arming and training rebels to advance right-wing interests in Nicaragua. Meanwhile, the US backed Honduran army and death squads, notably Battalion 316, waged a quieter conflict against the left in Honduras. The bloodshed and economic situation provided the impetus for many Hondurans to pursue work and residency in the US, especially in The Carolinas, New York, New Jersey, New Orleans, Florida, Virginia and Los Angeles. In the latter, they often settled in the Midtown neighborhoods of Westlake and Wilshire Center, although many Garifuna, whose blackness trumps their Latino-ness in Los Angeles, settled in predominantly black South LA neighborhoods.

Brilliant Beth...I adore the first photo but in fact they are all spectacular.
I'm a morning person myself but thankfully not everyone is, so I often get to peek at the day before it unfolds.
I think it's a special time of the day and your photos show the benefits of an early rise! :D

You just re-ignited my dream to visit Prague. I came close when I studied in Austria but the Cold War shut us down. Sigh - so lovely.

So beautiful. Love the photo at dusk. I think the best way to see a city is often at night.

It's so wonderful when the reality lives up to your dreams. That happened to me when I got to visit The Cloisters in NYC. That moment, when you realize it really is true? Is so beyond perfect.
I find the bridges in Europe to be so incredibly captivating. To imagine 18 bridges across the river is kind of surreal, really.

The top photo is hauntingly beautiful, makes me want to walk that bridge in person!

Kat, I'd love to see the Cloisters someday too. I hope I love them as much as you did!

Prague is a truly gorgeous city. I have been on this bridge and I remember it being one of the highlights of my visit to the city as well. The street performers that lined the way were almost as memorable to me as the statues! Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories. :)

On Dec, 12, 2013, the Capital Press reported that the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA) was awarded $305,000 for legal fees from a lawsuit they brought against the Bureau of Land Management and lost.
ONDA's recovery of legal fees was legally executed under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). A clearer picture could not have been painted to expose the flaws within EAJA, nor a more perfect opportunity to rally the troops for passing of the Government Litigation Savings Act.
Enacted in 1980, EAJA's intent was to level the litigation playing field for private citizens, small businesses and nonprofits seeking to challenge the federal government and its vast resources. EAJA allows a "prevailing" plaintiff to recover legal fees from the federal government, whether they win or lose the lawsuit.
EAJA only applies to private citizens and businesses with a net worth of $7 million or less. Nonprofits, however, see none of these restrictions, thus opening the floodgates to potential abuse of EAJA by special interest groups worth over $50 million.
A Wyoming law firm reported in 2011 that 14 environmental groups had initiated over 1,200 of these cases. They collected over $37 million in taxpayer dollars. However, the government has not tracked EAJA funds awarded since 1995.
The abuse of this system is too frequent and must be stopped. Last August the Government Litigation Savings Act — which would place equal eligibility on citizens, businesses and nonprofits — was reintroduced into Congress as U.S. House Resolution 3037 and has since been assigned to committee. It is imperative that our agricultural community show support for this resolution. Please contact your congressmen and encourage them to support U.S. HR 3037.

I have received an email from one of our players questioning the way people are being punished, particularly with regards to people who often trade banter between themselves and, when one decides to use an insult, a line is crossed. This player would like to suggest a change so that individuals can trade insults as banter without any fear of punishment, provided both parties are 'dishing it out'.
I've talked with the player a bit regarding this and we agreed that his proposal is as follows:
"When insults are exchanged between two individuals in a manner that ONLY insults the two individuals and no others directly or indirectly (by means of racism and so forth), it should be pardoned as personal banter."
The flaws in this that I can see at the moment are...
1) When is it okay? How do we know when two players are okay with trading insults? Do we assume they are until they report the other player, or do we assume they are not until they let us know they are alright with things? Is it up to the players involved to do the reporting or can someone else report abuse towards other players? What happens if a player 'assumes' that it was okay to insult someone but the person they insulted did not like it? What happens when someone was okay originally with things that were being said, but then someone insulted them in a way that they thought was going too far, and decided to report them anyway? How far can these insults go?
2) Reputation. Would this 'allowed abuse' damage the reputation of the CW XI Dev League? Would you guys be okay with being around a group of people who are trading insults that you might see as crude? Would it bother you at all?
3) Forums Staff Even if this was considered to be okay, obviously the forums staff can decide if someone is crossing the line from tolerable to intolerable when it comes to what they say in their posts. It's possible that James and his staff might not want people to be able to insult each other in such a way.
I would appreciate it if everyone could discuss the proposal and the questions that are posed regarding it in this thread. If most of you are in favour of this proposal then I will pass it on to the captains and CWBCC to discuss further, but for now I'd like to see if this is what the players want - and if the forums will actually allow for it.

Fear, anxiety, vertigo.
A black hole opens inside me with no previous warning.
Just the music from the merry go round reminding me of my demons.
Reminding me of the dark hole at my center where beasts live.
beasts that must be appeased, sang to and distracted,
Beasts with a never ending desire for blood,
my blood.
Night falls. The heavy traffic stops,
and with the silence comes fear.
Maybe she was there all along, but it is only now I can hear her.
Quietly she whispers possibilities into my ear
'Anything can and will happen.
Any day, any moment can be the last
of life, as you know it.'
Holding her hand is gratefulness.
For every breath and every mundane routine.
Every memory made and not wasted.
She is dancing to the music of the merry go round.
'dance' she sais to me 'dance while we still have feet and a ground to stand on'
Morning comes with a bitter aftertaste of too much wine
Which I don't remember tasting.
Coffee and biscuits dipped in a nagging feeling of something left undone,
of lives unlived and dreams that must be forgotten.
Anchors raised, the boat is left to wonder at the mercy of the sea.
No more resistance.
Washed away by the morning tide, all trace of dancing has been erased.
The smell of regret lingers on my fingers like old cigarettes.
I don't remember what I regret,
but close my eyes and breathe in deep the smell of the sea.
The cool morning breeze mixed with memories wraps around me.
In the distance I can hear the sound of life going about its business,
cleaning dishes or taking out the garbage,
disturbing the silence which is trying to speak to me, to remind me.
Of what? I know not
An ever so light memory of the music lingers in the air
For the most part the day is silent now, the beasts appeased.
They'll come again unannounced and without prior warning.
In the meantime, and without knowing quite why,

Top 5 ways to avoid pully injuries
I've seen that my posts on A2 pulley injuries on my sites are really popular and get loads of feedback and extra questions. During next year I'll be writing more on this subject and really welcome your case studies either by commenting on the posts directly or emailing me.
Phil emailed today to ask about good way to prevent finger injuries. I've written some advice in an extended article on my main site here. But for a quick hit to keep in mind while you are climbing here are the top five ways to avoid finger injuries in a few words:
1. Good footwork - sloppy footwork means cutting loose when your feet slip unexpectedly. Sudden unanticipated peak forces tear pulleys. Keep that footwork clean. If you are too knackered to climb properly after many hours at the wall, go home and eat pasta and come back the next day.
2. Focus - lack of concentration or distraction often causes foot slippage. Take a second to focus properly before each attempt on a problem. You will climb better and anticipate better.
3. Warm up - And remember to re-warmup if you stop and chat for an hour in the cold.
4. Get strong openhanded - You should be just as strong holding a simple edge (like a campus rung) openhanded as crimped. If you are more dependent on crimps, you are putting yourself at risk.
5. Eat and sleep lots - Poor rest and fuelling sets you up for the risk factors above. Take care of your body, you only have one. Don't climb with a hangover...you'll wobble and shake your way to an injury.
...actually I'll rephrase that - Don't get a hangover so you can climb safely.

We like it when the Internet has something before the Jayson Starks of the world do, so we're gonna run with this, because it's the end of November and not much is more fun than a good trade rumor. According to MLB Trade Rumors, the St. Louis Cardinals are "close" to a "major" move, with sources saying that "something big is happening" and that Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty has threatened employees with "termination" if any information comes out. Too late!
With the help of Viva El Birdos, MLB Trade Rumors has narrowed the likely news candidates to four possibilities: A trade of Jim Edmonds for Robinson Cano and Chien Ming-Wang; the signing of A.J. Burnett; a trade for Ken Griffey Jr.; and a trade for Bobby Abreu.
We usually don't get into this much detail with the transaction sheet, but:
1. These are our Cardinals.
2. It's a slow news day.
3. We love the idea of Bobby Abreu wearing the Birds on the Bat. Not just because the dude can hit (and walk), but also because we would love to take dating tips from him.
If any of these trades end up happening, remember where you heard it first.

Politics is about who governs. Whether by bullets or ballots, by violent struggle or peaceful competition for office, politics is about deciding who rules, for what purposes, and under what constraints. Politics influences the duties of rulers and ruled, the rights of citizens, and whether people live in fear or not.
In politics people acquire and use power, cooperatively or non-cooperatively, for creative or destructive purposes. They forge collective symbols and craft (and recraft) compelling narratives about mutual identities and social goals. They demand recognition and justice -- which means that they redefine what counts as political. They focus attention on collective problems -- or try to prevent such a focus. Finally they distribute or redistribute economic resources – which is one reason why politics can be terribly contentious.
Political science is the rigorous intellectual quest to identify and understand such phenomena. Political science builds on the thought of key Enlightenment figures such as Locke, Madison, Smith, Hume, and Condorcet, and of grand social theorists of the 19 th century, such as Tocqueville, Mill, Marx, Weber, and Freud. Recently, political science has been enriched by post-modern thinkers such as Foucault and Agamben. Importantly, it is the heir of a rich and long history of political philosophy that informs political scientists' inquiries into the goals and purposes of political life -- and their efforts to evaluate the justice, moderation, morality, and rationality of the political arrangements that they study. They learn from such masters as Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Machiavelli. In many ways, Aristotle, who was an inveterate commentator on types of regimes, was the first analytic political scientist.
Contemporary political scientists seek to understand the historical, economic, cultural and psychological foundations of political events, stability, and change. They study people, institutions, participation, inaction and apathy, war, commerce, crowds, networks, signaling, debate, efforts to control or slant valuable information -- and that's just a short list. Political scientists know a lot about causes and effects in political life -- but are quite ready to revise what they know when they are taken by surprise, for example, by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 9/11 attacks, or the current global economic crisis. Political scientists conduct their work in a wide range of contexts: in political thought, in public law and public policy, in institutional development, in particular nations and jurisdictions, and in the international arena.
Political science is an evolving and pluralistic discipline, relying on a variety of methods and styles of inquiry. It adopts and develops insights and approaches from microeconomics, history, ethics, data sciences, mathematics (for instance game theory and social choice theory), statistics, affective and cognitive psychology, and even (rather recently) neurobiology and genetics.
Political scientists seek to offer simple, clear, and testable explanations of political phenomena—which ideally allow for prediction (e.g. democracies don't go to war with each other). Political scientists puzzle over causal inference. They pursue enduring questions, such as: is the international system more stable when it is bi-polar or multi-polar? They revisit political history with ideas and tools from political science. Finally, political scientists draw lessons from their inquiries for good public policy, for good government, and for good citizenship – and for better political science, including better methods.
The faculty members of the Swarthmore political science department reflect, in their intellectual and research interests, the exceptional pluralism of political science and seek to convey the discipline's richness and variety in their courses, in the speakers we bring to campus, and in discussions with students after class or during office hours. We arrange course offerings by the traditional subdivisions of the discipline as it is practiced in the United States: American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. Our offerings are particularly strong in the study of China, constitutional law, the study of Congress, environmental policy and politics, faith-based social policy, the presidency, the study of American parties and elections, U.S. civil rights, international trade and political economy, the cognitive and perceptual dimensions of international politics, Latin American politics, theories of prophetic political vision, ancient and modern political theory, democratic theory and civic engagement, Iranian politics, and American political development. Students currently have access to interdisciplinary and innovative pedagogies in GIS training, for understanding local democracy in and around Swarthmore and poverty in Chester, PA, and for understanding the nature of mass incarceration in the United States. We also offer many opportunities to explore linkages between the theory and practice of politics. Some courses are earmarked for their emphasis on community-based learning.

Thank you
ID GO THAT ROUTE BEFOR WELDING ON A BOLT.The M76 bolt and bolt carrier can be bought for $150. I'm sure there are PSL owners that would buy the spare 7.62x54R bolt
THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO LEGENTEN A BOLT YOU CAN ADD AN EXTENSION TO A SMALL STEM BOLT THAT SLIDES OVER THE EXISTING STEM AND THEN MAKE THE OFD FIT A LSRGE STEM CARRIER THEN WHILE YOU ARE AT IT ADD A SPPRING LOADED FIRING PIN AS IF YOUR GOING TO SHOOT TRUE 308 THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE ONE AN IF YOUR GOING TO HAND LOADF ITS GOOD IDEA AS WELL SO YOU CAN USE STANDARD PRIMERS. SLAM FIRES SUCK ON SOFT PRIMERS. AN YES IT DOES HAPPEN i KNOW FOR A FACT.
Thank you
read the 308 conversion page a lot applies to a psl as it appears the trunion is vry close to a m70 or rpk. there is all kinds of discussion but when its all over there is no real answer as to what is the safe limt of an AK or PSL bolt an trunion.
I can tell you I have loaded 7.62x39 in these guns untill the primers were piercing an the brass was flowing into the extractor port. likley around 65,000 PSI or even more. a 22-250 rounds is at 65,000 psi an it will not pierceprimers or have brass flowing into the extractor groove. so its possable I have hit 70,000 PSI. no way to know but Im sure it was well over 60,000 PSI. there are tons of variable . the 308 galil uses a two lug bolt an it looks identical to a standard x39 bolt except the bolt face is opend up.
untill some ones poneys up the cash an takes a few variants an has them profesional proff tested to a point of distruction w will never know an it wpould have to be dome with multipul guns to prove that there is a average pressure were failure or at least head space begins to change. we will not have any facts on the matter.
I have conversions an i have shot factrory ammo in 243 an 308 but it really proves nothing. i load in the middle of the range.
Imo trusting military surplus ammo that was made 60 years ago by god knows who and how an to what specs is a bad idea .
Read this thread from start to finish i started it in 2005 its likely the most involved conversation about the matter inthe world. there are some pretty smart guy in there an ton of info. good discussions on PSI vs CUP SAMMI SPECS VS CIP ETC.
IMO its a must read if your going to do a conversion of any calibur with a bigger bolt face an higher pressures.
haven,t handled one but... what did the israelis use for the bolt in their .308 galil. i would trust them to have tested thoroghly before sending out to troops... just a thought and question
from the pictures Ive seen it looks just like a 7.62x39 bolt but with a bigger bolt face.haven,t handled one but... what did the israelis use for the bolt in their .308 galil. i would trust them to have tested thoroghly before sending out to troops... just a thought and question
I had read stories of the Galil falling ocasionaly but I cant find them any more.
considering the AR 15/m16 has bolts fail all the time id feel safer shooting the Galil .
there are very few documented reports of any ak style bolt failing.
if some one wants to send me a bolt an trunion. Ill load a 308 or 243 build to the max an do some imporvised proof testing.
The Galil may use better steel than what they're using in Russia. The Galil was designed before there were mandatory CIP overpressure proof testing required in Europe. The Russians tried to make a two lug 308 AK but they wouldn't pass the 125 percent pressure testing. They went to the three lug bolt. The bolt head and right bolt lug of the Yugoslavian 308 M77 AK and 8 mm M76 are larger than a standard AK bolt. The 308 Valmet bolt is also larger in the same way. In a stamped receiver I would stay with an RPK type trunnion and use a 308 Galil bolt or if using a PSL, use an M76 bolt.
If you wanted to use the AK74/AK100 bolt you would have to lengthen the stem, replace the firing pin with one of proper dimensions, open up the bolt face to the proper dimensions, modify the extractor, rework the extractor cut out on the bolt stem, sleeve your PSL bolt carrier for the small stem bolt. The Saiga 7.62x39 bolt would require less material removed from the bolt pocket and the extractor. Kvar has them at the moment.
Im still waiting on the barrel and the receiver. As soon as that stuff gets here Im ready to get this thing moving.

Man Beats Himself Up To Worm Out Of Drunken Driving Charge
Drinking can cloud your thinking, which may explain why a Farmington, Connecticut man came up with a pretty boneheaded idea.
Authorities say Daniel Vagnini beat himself up to prove to police he had been assaulted to get out of being charged with drunken driving last Saturday.
Vagnini must've really wanted to avoid charges, because he's accused of punching himself in the face, tearing his shirt and hurling his wallet and keys into a nearby river - all to convince police someone attacked him.
Police first got wind of Vagnini after he blew past a stop sign and came dangerously close to hitting another car. They found his car a short time later and began a search for him. Vagnini, meanwhile, called 911 to report he had gotten lost in the woods.
He wound up telling police he had been out drinking before someone pummeled him when he tried to get into his car. He said he passed out from the beating and woke up in the woods with his clothes frayed and his wallet and keys missing.
Cops didn't buy his story, though. He was charged with reckless driving, evading responsibility and driving under the influence.

Last week, a gunman who tried to get onto an Army base led Missouri police on a high-speed chase down an interstate while shooting an AK-47 wildly at pursuing cruisers. Here's the view from inside the closest police car.
Cody Willcoxson was stopped on Thursday attempting to enter Fort Leonard Wood; after military police attempted to detain him, Wilcoxson fled in his Dodge Magnum wagon. The video above is taken from the dash of a St. Robert, Mo., police cruiser driven by deputy Trenton Herr, picking up just before Wilcoxson hits I-44.
From there to Rolla, Mo., — a 25-mile stretch of rural interstate — Wilcoxson sped from police at speeds hitting 120 mph. About 2:40 into this video, Herr reports the first shots fired from Wilcoxson's Magnum; later into the chase, Wilcoxson starts spraying bullets from his sunroof and the Magnum's back hatch. The shots disabled the cruiser of St. Robert's police chief, but Herr is able to keep up the pursuit while weaving around traffic.
Only after getting into Rolla and running over a stop strip does the chase end with Wilcoxson hitting another vehicle, then a barricade. Wilcoxson fled onto the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology. SWAT officers pursued Wilcoxson across campus, where he later carjacked another vehicle and attempted to flee before finally being apprehended four hours after the hunt began.
Police estimate Wilcoxson fired more than 80 rounds during the pursuit, and reloaded while behind the wheel. Amazingly, no one — the police, bystanders or Wilcoxson himself — was injured in the chase.
What started the spree isn't clear, but police now say Wilcoxson wasn't trying to get onto the Army base —he just took a wrong turn into the base's entrance.
(If you're lazy, it starts getting crazy around the 15:00 minute mark)

"Beautiful Creatures"
Rating: PG-13
When: Now playing
In the midst of their press tour, "Beautiful Creatures" stars Alden Ehrenreich ("Tetro") and Alice Englert ("Ginger & Rosa") are certain of one thing: Their supernatural romance, based on a best-selling series of young adult novels by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, is not a carbon copy of "Twilight."
They understand the instinct to think so, considering the film arrives on the heels of the wildly successful "Twilight" series, leaving a gaping hole in the ravenous young adult movie market. In fact, Englert and Ehrenreich are guilty of making the same assumption themselves, which initially led both of the young actors to turn down the roles of Ethan, a literary-minded charmer who's champing at the bit to bolt from his sleepy town of Gatlin, S.C., and Lena, a moody teenage girl who arouses suspicion when she moves to town and displays her uncanny ability to alter the weather when she's angry. Ethan and Lena's intense and immediate connection leads to a forbidden romance between mortal and supernatural being or, in Lena's case, a "Caster." Swap genders and powers and it sure does sound very "Twilight"-esque.
"We got the brief that it was a supernatural love story and, without reading the script, it did sound a little like a remake of a genre that was already being pretty well made," said Englert, who read only the first "Twilight" book in her early teens, of her initial decision to turn down the part of Lena.
Ehrenreich, who's yet to read a word of the Stephenie Meyer series, initially agreed. "It didn't sound like it had its own DNA, its own identity."
But Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese ("The Fisher King," "P.S. I Love You"), who's had plenty of experience adapting beloved books like "The Horse Whisperer" and "The Bridges of Madison County," was only encouraged by their refusals.
"Richard loved that. He wanted people who were reluctant to do this kind of movie," said Ehrenreich. Once LaGravenese got his script in their hands, the actors began to change their tune.
"Richard created these really idiosyncratic characters with real points of view and lots of dimension." Ehrenreich said. "Even though it's a supernatural story, it's really rooted in this very human element."
Englert quickly interjected: "Credit to Richard for writing it like that. So many of these stories are just exposition to get through the plot … but Richard did such a great job with actually being able to languish in scenes."
The film stresses the importance of seizing control of your destiny and choosing your own fate, something every young adult is bound to face. Ehrenreich, 23, and Englert, 19, are no exception. Both are in the early stages of their careers, finding that tricky balance between satisfying their creative ambitions, including writing and directing, and staying steadily employed. With LaGravenese at the helm of "Beautiful Creatures," they seem to think they've found that balance.
Perhaps they're savvier than most of their contemporaries. A Los Angeles native, Ehrenreich considers himself a "film geek" who's been writing, directing and performing since middle school. When director Steven Spielberg saw one of his amateur film performances at a friend's bar mitzvah, he asked for a meeting, which led to some TV roles and ultimately a role in Francis Ford Coppola's 2009 film "Tetro."
Englert grew up on the other side of the world in Australia, but was raised inside the world of art house filmmaking by her mother, Academy Award-winning director Jane Campion ("The Piano"). Unlike her character in the film, Englert exudes intellectual sophistication and is entirely accepting of the life path she was born into. "I want to constantly spend my life in stories. I don't think I ever thought about living in any other way. So that's my aim, to always hang around until they kick me out."
But don't let their ambition fool you. Englert and Ehrenreich are as starry-eyed as any newly minted actor, especially when it came to working alongside their legendary "Beautiful Creatures" co-stars Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Viola Davis.
"Watching Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons do a scene, it's like free acting class," Ehrenreich eagerly explained. "I was sitting there with a little notebook and taking notes."
For Englert, it was Thompson's jovial work ethic that made the biggest impact. "She gave me such a great perspective of humor, about not taking all this stuff too seriously," Englert said. "She taught me to have a sense of humor about your career and just to try and do your best, because, if you try to control it and try and make all these aims, you forget to have fun. You forget to actually do good work."
Though Englert and Ehrenreich's on-screen romance didn't roll into real life as it did with their "Twilight" counterparts Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the pair have a friendly rapport, something they'll need to sustain them as they travel the world promoting the film, attending book signings (as they did during their San Diego stop) and facing eager fans ready to fawn over their new romantic heroes.
As a film fanatic himself, Ehrenreich enjoys the fan interactions. "It feels like a personal experience, whereas everything else is kind of a professional thing. That's where the people come up and you see that this matters so much to somebody."
At this point, Englert chimed in with an anecdote from their most recent book signing when a fan asked her to sign a T-shirt which, when unfolded, revealed a close-up of Ehrenreich wearing what appeared to be pink lipstick.
"It was very surreal," Ehrenreich responded, clearly a little embarrassed.
Not one to miss an opportunity, Englert leaned in with the exaggerated tone of a doting aunt. "Awww, those cherub lips of yours!"
Beautiful creatures indeed.


text: There's an ethical imperative to provide fair compensation for all workers whose hard work and talent create profits. By Knight Kiplinger, Editor Emeritus March 1, 2012 Q. I'm hearing a lot of talk about abandoning the concept of amateur student-athletes and just paying them salaries instead. How do you view all this?The current system, as overseen by the NCAA, is an ethical mess, riddled with hypocrisy and under-the-table payments. The moral case against it has been argued persuasively for several years by sports commentators Frank Deford and John Feinstein, and more recently by civil rights historian Taylor Branch. In my view, there is an ethical imperative to provide fair compensation for all workers whose hard work and talent create salable products and, in some cases, large profits. Yes, a free college degree (sometimes earned, sometimes not) is significant compensation for most full-scholarship college athletes, the majority of whom play in low-budget varsity programs and actually get an education to go along with the diploma. Sponsored Content POLL: Should College Athletes Be Compensated? Advertisement But for many football and basketball players in big-time programs, a scholarship is in no way proportional to the millions that their colleges and coaches earn from their efforts. These athletes are professional entertainers who aren't getting paid nearly a fair share of the box-office receipts. If they were allowed by the rules of pro football and basketball to sign contracts at 18, right out of high school, many of them would take (and should take) the guaranteed money and bypass college, where an injury in practice or a game could destroy their later earnings as professional athletes. By contrast, once they turn pro, athletes—whether healthy or injured—can pay for their own college education anytime they wish. The ethical principle seems clear to me, but implementing some sort of real compensation won't be easy. Should athletes in all sports share in the overall athletic profits of the college, which are earned mostly by football and basketball? Should the money be held in trust for the athletes (as Feinstein has suggested) and paid to them only if they graduate with legitimate degrees? The debates would be endless.
