China has several train lines connecting its major cities. High-speed trains facilitate travel between Shanghai and Beijing while other trains pass through the countryside, allowing you to admire captivating landscapes during your trip. Most Chinese trains are fast and safe. However, all of them are not very comfortable. In general, tickets prices are quite affordable. But these vary according to the comfort level you choose.
If you are planning a long journey by train, it is recommended to book your seat in advance. You can also buy your ticket at a train station and look for your train's number. Moreover, in major Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, you will find underground subways. These will allow you to avoid traffic jams especially during peak hours.
Good to know:
You will probably be checked when you board the train and on your arrival at your final destination. You are advised to always have your tickets in your possession.

Re: Transports in China
That's appropriate and for most of the people it stays useful because the kind of uses it has. This is the part which works and always taking care of such concepts is something that works mostly to me.
As a traveler its a lot of fun getting into things like http://bestbustours.com/3-days-from-new-york-to-niagara-corning-boston-tour.html/ which is the best part for me.

Huia Dam Road
Relaxed walk in mixed ground to the Huia Dam
Time: 1.25 hours
Type: Tramping Track
Distance: 6.0 km
From locked gate on top of Lower Huia Dam, graveled road initially meanders besides reservoir, before climbing steeply over small hill, then follows Huia Valley by-passing Smiths Road (30 minutes) and Christies Track (50 minutes) to Upper Huia Dam. NB: The gates at the entrance to the dam are now locked at all times and visitors can no longer drive past this point. Walkers should add about 15 minutes to all track times if starting from this point.
What to expect:
Walking tracks will:
* have easy to moderate grades with drained surfaces, generally consisting of a compacted and drained surfaces.
* be well sign-posted with directional signs at track entrances and junctions and have safety signs where required.
Walking tracks may:
* have steps on excessively steep areas.
* have timber boardwalks and bridges over permanent wet areas and waterways.
* have seats and maintained views at areas of interest.
* Walking tracks should be suitable for people with reasonable fitness levels.
Great views back down the valley and of Huia Bay from the top of the dam. There are also a number of open areas along the road all the way to the Upper Huia Dam.
Wheelchair access:
Pram access:
Yes - This track follows a gravel service road closed to public vehicles. There are uphill sections with a rougher surface so the track is more suitable to buggies with larger wheels than strollers. Note: The track from the bottom of the Upper Huia Dam to the top is not suitable for prams.
There are toilets situated o the right hand side of the road about 30 metres past the Parau Track entrance if heading towards the dam from the gates.
Drinking water:
The closest place to get drinking water is from the Huia Store however we recommend bringing water from home in a reusable drinking bottle.
To get there:
Take the North-Western Motorway to the Great North Rd Exit. Follow Great North Rd onto Ash St which leads onto Rata St. Take Titirangi Rd right through Titirangi Village to the roundabout. Take Huia Rd, travel through Laingholm and Parau to Huia.

There's good news in Vermont's ski industry, and then there's the weather.
The good news is that Vermont's 18 ski resorts invested more than $25 million in upgrades and new facilities in 2006, and another $150 million was invested in real estate projects and recreational amenities. That substantial investment, however, runs headlong into another bit of news: November 2006 was one of the warmest on record and tied the record for having the least amount of snowfall.
Such enormous investments and such fickle weather remind ski diehards that ski resorts in Vermont, much like the farming community, ride a fine edge on the profitability slope. The ski industry, in fact, has much in common with Vermont's farm community. An area ski area resort president even noted that ski resorts could be viewed as "snow farmers.�
It's not that far a stretch: Ski resorts prep their slopes to create the smoothest surface possible; spend hundreds of millions of dollars on snowmaking equipment and hire crews to run ever-more sophisticated machinery; and groom their harvest for the best possible product like a farmer nourishes his crops.
And there are other similarities. Both industries are heavily dependent on the weather. Both are key to preserving an abundance of open land that gives Vermont its special character. And both spawn a tremendous amount of economic activity that feeds off their respective industries. (Take away the ski industry and see how many contractors and those in the building trades, restaurants, bars, outdoor recreation shops, real estate offices, gift and clothing businesses would close throughout the state — and how many individuals might choose to leave because a primary winter recreation activity would no longer attract those people to live here.) Suffice it to say that if either industry went belly-up, the state would be irrevocably changed for the worse.
One significance difference, however, is that the farm community is seen as integral to the state's persona, while the ski industry is not. That difference, as played out in state policy, is telling: A quick look at the state's tax laws sees farm land treated at below commercial value (as evaluated under Current Use), while second homes that make up much of the ski industry's clientele are taxed at a premium.
No one expects the state to suddenly subsidize ski resorts in ways similar to the state's cherished dairy farms when times are bad, but Vermonters in general, and the Legislature in particular, could be more appreciative of the economic activity, the visual aesthetics, the quality of life amenities and the recreational opportunities that Vermont's ski communities provide.
That appreciation, in turn, could lead to a better understanding of the economic pressures facing Vermont's ski industry and the relatively cost-effective measures that could be taken to strengthen their hand. Issues that range from restructuring property tax laws, to re-evaluating workers' compensation provisions, to streamlining building regulations could make an enormous difference in the ability of Vermont's ski industry to keep pace with its competitors in the East as well as those out West.
Vermont has the third highest number of skier days in the nation, behind Colorado and Utah, and the industry is an enormously important part of the state's economic engine. A general recognition of that fact within state government might well lead to ways that could help the ski industry thrive — rather than operate in seeming opposition to state policies. With record warm temperatures this November providing a slow start to the '06-'07 ski season — and the threat of global warming on the horizon — a legislative committee established to study those issues might be more than just well-considered: It might be key to keeping a vital state industry healthy.

Research Highlights
September 2010
New Tool Developed to Better Isolate Neutrophils
Better understanding and diagnoses of immune system injury
Fully segmented neutrophils and band forms captured from burn patient 10 days post-injury. Enlarge Image
Results: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists are part of a team led by Massachusetts General Hospital that has developed a new microfluidic tool for quickly and accurately isolating neutrophils—the most abundant type of white blood cell—from small blood samples. This accomplishment could provide information essential to better understanding the immune system's response to traumatic injury. The system, described in a Nature Medicine paper published online August 29, also can be adapted to isolate almost any type of cell.
"Neutrophils are currently garnering a lot of interest from researchers and clinicians, but collecting and processing them has been a real challenge," says Dr. Kenneth Kotz of the MGH Center for Engineering in Medicine, lead author of the study. "This tool will allow a new range of studies and diagnostics based on cell-specific genomic and proteomic signatures."
The PNNL team designed proteomic experiments, performed quantitative proteomics and data analyses and contributed to the biological interpretation of the obtained data. More information about the research is available at the following links:

Ever since the end of the Cold War, the idea has gained ground that there is a right or a duty to intervene in the internal affairs of other states. This can be for humanitarian reasons or in the name of UN Security Council Resolutions. According to this new doctrine, international law should be enforced by means of military violence and international criminal law can be used to indict.
These claims stand in contrast to the hitherto existing principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, which is both an established principle of customary international law and also enunciated in the UN Charter.
The purpose of this Project is to provide critical analysis of the burgeoning doctrine of interventionism. Ever since the end of the Cold War, powerful states have given themselves the right to intervene in the internal affairs of weak ones both militarily and judicially. Various pretexts are invoked – the need to enforce UN Security Council resolutions, to prevent humanitarian catastrophes or human rights abuses, or to maintain peace.
Interventionism has received legal basis with the creation of supranational criminal tribunals and with the 2005 General Assembly Resolution on the so-called "right to protect". From Yugoslavia to Libya via Iraq and Afghanistan, these theories have now been put into effect.
But how true are the claims made in favour of interventionism and how effective is it? Were civilian lives really saved in Libya? Did the creation of an international criminal tribunal bring peace to Yugoslavia? Were the United States and Britain justified in invoking UN Security Council resolutions in justification of their 2003 attack on Iraq?
On this site you will find information about the legal structures which have been created for interventionist purposes, as well as critical analysis of actual military interventions.

Spanish lecturer Miroslava Detcheva will be one of 11 Faculty in Residence in the new Residential Commons to open next year. Please see below for a profile of Professor Detcheva written by The Daily Campus author Katy Roden:
Professor Miroslava Detcheva is no stranger to new experiences and different environments. She was born in Bulgaria, and has lived in six countries since. She speaks five languages. And next fall, she'll move into McElvaney Hall with 260 college students.
Detcheva is one of 10 faculty that was selected as a Faculty-in-Residence for the fall 2014 rollout of the Residential Commons on-campus living model at SMU. Her decision to apply for the program stemmed from her experience as a law student studying at Oxford University, the origin of the Residential Commons model.
"When I was a student I realized how some of the professors were able to go beyond the classroom teaching," Detcheva said. "I feel that those people that take that extra step and that try to connect with students outside the classroom are the ones that make a difference in the life of students."
After her undergraduate studies, Detcheva completed two Masters programs at Baylor University, then completed law school at SMU's Dedman School of Law. She has been a Spanish professor on the Hilltop since 2007.
"I found it difficult to be able to cover what I'm supposed to cover in my classes and also be able to go one step beyond," Detcheva said. "I think that's where the Residential Commons will give me the opportunity to be a mentor and share my experiences and go beyond my subject."
While Detcheva only teaches Spanish classes, she speaks five languages. She left her home in Bulgaria after high school and lived in Mexico, Germany, England, Spain and the U.S.
"There's that international aspect that's really important in my life," Detcheva said. "That really matches the goals SMU has: to put emphasis on global education and that we take pride that 'World Leaders are Shaped Here.'"
Detcheva believes the Residential Commons will create pride, a sense of belonging and will help students become more involved on campus. She said the different activities organized by each Commons, as well as between the 11 Commons will create learning in an untraditional way.
"Education is a lot more than just going to your five classes and learning a subject and being tested," Detcheva said. "While you're at the university that's time [that] can be a life-changing experience. You can find new passion in life. Or it can be the first time you're able to go abroad and learn about a new culture. Learning should take place beyond the classroom and that's what I'm looking forward to."

Prof. Detcheva looks forward to out of classroom learning for faculty, students.

March 29, 2006-The NE Monsoon Loses its Power.
It is springtime and the Central Asian high pressure zone, formed each winter by bone chilling cold of northern Asia, is losing its power. Created by heavy cold air descending over the Mongolian Plateau, the high weakens and then dies when sun moves back north of the equator and again warms the Asian Continent.
The Northeast Monsoon, the cold and strong winds born in the high and formed by that cold air sinking over Asia and then flowing out onto the South China Sea, by April no longer threaten sailors voyaging on the coasts of China or around the Philippine Islands. The Northeast Monsoon no longer carries the punch it had during winter.
For the crew of the sailing vessel Wings, cruising south through the Philippines towards Borneo, the death of the NE Monsoon is met with mixed emotions. On one hand, we relish the clear skies and calm nights in the quiet anchorages which are common during the transition months of April and May. We have long since tired of the howling nights that were the norm while the monsoon blew. But sailing is not the sure thing it was during the NE Monsoon. The reef lines have been cast off and the heavy weather jib remains stowed. If we want to sail we need the light air sails and patience.
Today we started out, as we do most days during this time of transition, motoring. That was OK; we charged the batteries and made some water. By noon we had a bit of wind from the Northwest, some onshore flow into the Western Philippines. It was not predicted by the weather computers in North America or by the weather minions in Tokyo or Taipei, who dispense each day their assessments of the weather situation in the Western Pacific by weatherfax, all of which we religiously monitor, however, we expected it; we saw it yesterday and the day before.
Calm Day
So we watched the NW wind slowly build. When it got to 9 knots we took down the sun awning and rigged the sails; full main and 3/4 oz spinnaker, the old one, which is expendable, not any of the racing kites which are stowed securely below deck.
At 11 knots of wind we stopped the motor and set sail. It was a bit of a struggle most of the time, hardly enough wind to keep us going, but occasionally we got 13 or 14 knots of wind and then the boat came alive, 7 knots. Otherwise we were barely going better than when we were under motor, but at least we were not using diesel, and the cabin could cool down once the motor was turned off.
At the entrance to Port Barton we looked at the clock and decided to carry on. We hardened up and kept sailing.
We also bypassed Boyan Island, with its harbors and coves. Still too early and we are sailing, so, lets keep going.
At 16:00 we approached Jibboom Bay. One comment in the guide book said, Nothing Special about this bay. But another said it had charm. We turned in as an afternoon thundercloud over the hills to the east shut off the wind. We dropped the sails.
Jibboom Bay was quiet and calm, and the hills, with their heavy forests of old growth Philippine Mahogany, gave a fragrance to the air. We slowly motored in and looked for an anchorage,
During the transition months, between the NE Monsoon and the coming SW Monsoon, the nights are mostly calm. We felt that we could anchor anywhere. Protection from the wind was not needed, or if it was, we didn't know from which direction we should seek cover,
So we found an attractive hillside covered with huge trees and footed by small sandy beaches and a few palm trees, and we set down our anchor in front of it.
We poured the last of our gin and sipped it as we watched the sun go down,
Tomorrow we will repeat the exercise, only without the gin, its all gone, heading on south.

Table-less DesignApril 08, 2003
The bottom line: transitional, table–based layouts work, and will continue to, no matter how ugly a solution they seem. The table tag isn't going anywhere due to the continuing (valid) need for tabular data, and let's face it, we've long worked out the bugs in table–based design. We're only beginning to knock off the bugs of the more popular CSS configurations.
This is an area where standards advocates shoot themselves in the foot. "Code for the future," we say. "Drop the tables, and you'll never look back. Er, no, I'm not sure why IE5 is doing that. Um. What was I saying again?"
Table–less design gets lumped into the standards argument as if the only way you can write valid XHTML is with divs. This is not intentional in many cases, but the overwhelming impression is that if you're going to bother with validation, you'd better be using CSS positioning to build your document.
Which simply isn't true. Well–formed tables are entirely valid markup for any flavour of XHTML 1.0. The code is always larger than it needs to be, and it looks horrible in alternative browser, yes. Anyone who has spent a bit of time gritting their teeth and figuring out how to throw together a CSS–based layout realizes that after the learning curve it's a far more elegant and desirable way to build a document. But it's not the only way.
Transitional layouts have the advantage of working in older browsers. Nobody in their right mind tests in a 3.x browser these days, but if you're building an e–commerce site that gets even a few thousand 4.x visitors, you'd better be damn sure they have a way to buy from the site. It's far less important to target users of web–enabled cell phones, for example, since they stand very little chance of buying a product based on a text–only screen.
Still, there are other ways. I recently built a table–free site for a small non–profit group. (they were getting free work out of me, they'd better not complain about my markup choices, after all) The original design was tested against the major standards–friendly browsers (IE 5/6, NN7, Opera 6, Mozilla), and then it was time to deal with the old, ugly Netscape. It was a mess, as you can well expect, but by moving key elements into an @imported .css file I was able to target NN4 a little more.
After shifting some text around, dropping some background colours, moving some images… it actually worked. It looked only vaguely reminiscient to my original concept, and as a design it didn't hold up very well on its own. But the layout worked. Netscape 4 got one thing right, believe it or not: absolute positioning. With some creativity, this can be used advantageously to create table–free site foundations that work in almost every browser being used in the wild today. (see Craig Saila's site for an example)
So it is possible to build table–less layouts that work back to 4.x browsers, if design can be compromised for that 2% of the market. In 2003, it's awfully hard to make a case that 20% of a site's budget should be spent on these browsers, 1.5% of the market, but some people still just don't get it.
Today we have choices; we can go in either direction. Both ways are correct. CSS positioning is a far more elegant solution, and provides more flexibility for later upgrades and alternate browsers. Table–based design is a relic, but one that is tried and true, and remains valid markup. Both are perfectly justifiable in their own right, and will continue to be so for time to come.
(In response to Keith's response to my response to another article…)
Reader Comments
i've coded my last half-dozen or so sites in mostly DIVs. i say mostly because i do still use tables within the DIVs if they make sense. even tho table-less design is "all the rage" designers/coders should still actually *think* about the solution they're programming and which will work best. it sucks to just follow a trend because it's a trend (even if the trend is a good one).
altho one trend i've fallen victim to on my new 230 site (launching soon) is using UL and LI tags for making navigation lists. i coded my nav using those, and just straight div tags, and it worked out to be half the lines of code needed. i didn't just code it a new way bc it's a new way tho, i tested it out against the old way first, to see how it held up.
but that's just me, mr smartie-pants ;)
Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's the blindly spewing of dogma about how evil it is to use anything but the latest specs from the W3, regardless of how well supported they are, that makes this whole argument so tedious.
Hell, I've seen opinions on evolt that say you should code for the latest nightly Mozilla build and force everyone to upgrade to use your site. (exaggerating a little, but not by much). It sure is easy to say when the only coding you do is for a personal site, but try dumping today's latest into a content management system from 2 years ago that spits out crap code.
Still, daily practicality aside, I'm moving more into CSS-positioned design and I'm liking it. I've built only a few sites using nothing but, and so far the experience has been a good one. I positively relish the simplicity of the resulting XHTML at the end, it just looks nice.
But I can't always go that route; CSS doesn't always work. Even this site is still a mess of tables. The little logotype/links on the bottom right — that's why. No way of vertically positioning it, other than a td align. How sad is that?
In thinking about this, I've tried to figure out why the whole issue gets me going to begin with. I mean, it's a semantic geek thing that really isn't going to change the world, right, just make our lives easier.
It's because it's a better way. It simply is. It's far easier for us, as developers, and the whole portability thing is pretty cool too. (I have yet to really play with a wireless device and see how well the promise is delivered upon, though.) It's just that tiny percentage running 1997 browsers holding the rest of us back from diving right in, which in 2003 seems almost inexcusable.
It's also because I'm surrounded by people who just don't have the first clue about any of this. They're stuck in 1997 coding practices because they're too lazy to learn anything about modern html, and it drives me freakin' nuts.
So pardon any excessive ramblings on my part, because sometimes I just need to vent.
the argument of filesize is an utter joke when used to justify the use of fowards or backwards compatible code.
any monkey can code. how well the person uses the technology (be it tables or divs) determines how lean their code is. ppl who code poorly will use divs inefficiently and spew out crappy, bloated products. professionally done code, even if its done with tables (or a mixture of the two), can be leaner in filesize.
chris (from dithered.com) was able to write a space invader game within 5 kilobytes. i couldnt write a space invader game within 5 megs… this has nothing to do with emerging technology or new compliancy, it has to do with THE MAN. is it the clothes that make the man? i hope not ;)
Naturally I can't find it anywhere now that I'm referring to it, but I've seen the argument made that a couple of simple lines in a DIV translates to 50 lines of TABLEing. It was completely over-exaggerated to make the point, with far more table code than was necessary.
But I think it's still a valid argument that in an overall sense, CSS positioning will result in smaller files. Bad coders abound, and they're generally the sort of people who have learned only the bare minimum needed to throw together a site. I've had to work with a few, and for the time being anyway, they're still stuck in the old-school tables mindset. Who knows, maybe CSS-based design will even add formidable enough of a learning curve to weed out some of the hacks.
my perspective comes from a different view simply because ive been forced to work with projects where presentation supercedes content (and vice versa). because each client is different, their target audience will also be different. it's impossible to say that ONE existing method will work for all; even if that method might be better.
this presents the question of whether we do what we do because it's easier for us, or whether the project demands it. adopting a better method of coding IS better in the longrun, but should we blindly apply it to everything? i associate this with paul's thirst for running. running is better than walking. it takes us places faster and makes us healthier, but running shouldnt be done ALL the time simply because it is better. conversely, walking shouldnt be necessarily abandoned on the account that it isnt as good as running.
this is how i see projects. we're in the business to solve some of our clients' many problems; it would be a shame if we lost sight in that.
Kris: I've never experienced a full-on separation of style/structure at the day job, so I'll take your word for it. It strikes me that that should be the case, but it's nice to hear confirmation.
haze: good points. I really like the argument you made in this thread (damn myself for not having done something about anchored comments) about targetting the audience.
Has your mindset about targetting jobs changed in the past few years? What I'm getting at, is now that NN4 is at all-time low usage, is it still as valid as it was two years ago to say that tables are a good option for consistent presentation?
Simpler code means improved continuity of the project among designers in a firm. Also, separation of style from structure separates a great deal of dependance on one another between for instance a front-end designer and a backend PHP developer. I see it every day. My boss too. That is why my entire company is moving towards this practice.
I have to agree though, there is still a lot to learn. I don't preach table based layouts, but I don't bash them either. I will never use them anymore though, unless strictly necessary. For me it has become a whole new way of thinking; HTML structure is no longer a visual format for me, in practically no way.
i see that the demand is still quite strong since a lot of companies (new and old) still recognize NS4 as a browser they "need" to support.
now, in that small percentage, a portion will require this support because they've got older systems that MUST see the site; these clients you have no choice to develop for.
on the other hand, there is also an extremely LARGE percentage of ppl who can be easily sold on fotward compatibility IF you know how to properly sell it. for the most part, clients are more inclined to drop NS4 support when they hear of how compliancy code will separate the seas, walk on water, and usher in a new era of human evolution… wait… oh i'm thinking of comic books.
That's about my experience too. We just did a re-vamp of a university's international education department, and their people still run NN4.x. They figured their target audience would be coming from all sorts of underdeveloped countries, so technology levels might be a bit lower. NN4 coding was necessary, so a transitional layout was the route I took.
What's ironic is that my code was pretty freakin' good. I didn't have to do a lot of hacking, just common sense "okay, NN doesn't support that, so I'll use this instead" and so forth. It's when they tied the content management system in that it all fell apart. Go figure… there's now a pop up "upgrade your browser, please" for 4.x and below.

Hangover Helper: Breakfast Poutine at Chez Ben in Manchester, CT
Just what the doctor ordered.
Starchy, sloppy, and utterly satisfying, poutine is classic Québécois drunk food, so it makes perfect sense to indulge in the stuff the morning after when you're suffering from the dreaded gueule de bois. Chez Ben, an unassuming little diner in Manchester, Connecticut, specializes in French Canadian fare including this hangover-slaying Breakfast Poutine ($6.50/$8.50). It's a heaping pile of home fries, scrambled eggs, cheese curds, brown gravy, and your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage served with buttery wedges of toast. Depending on your feelings about pâté at breakfast you can upgrade your plate with a side of Creton (a "cold Canadian meat spread" according to the menu) for an extra $2.15.
Like any good hangover curing meal, this plate is a monster, overflowing with all sorts of cheesy, eggy, gravy-y breakfast greatness. Digging around in this poutine turns up soft pillows of scrambled eggs, salty cubes of ham, fluffy-crisp home fries, and squeaky cheese curds all doused in a just-salty-enough gravy. Ordering a side of Creton might seem like overkill here, but you need something to spread on that toast, plus, hangover or not, we're always up for some pâte.

MSPP #126: The Outdoor Programstevejb68 on February 22, 2013 in Activity, Leadership, Nostalgia, podcast, Training
The last post to the Melrose Scout Productions Podcast contained the first of three parts of an eleven year old Boy Scout Leader Fast Start Orientation vhs tape I have in my Scouting collection. This post features part two of that training tape which covers the troop Outdoor Program. It is an excellent video that is still relevant to today's Scouting program.
I think it is fun to watch these old videos to see how, or if, Scouting has changed through the decades. What do you think about it? Have you seen this before?

Lawmakers Look to Make 'Super Majorities' the Rule
PIERRE - The South Dakota Senate is moving forward on proposing a constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds majority of voters to create or raise taxes in direct ballot initiatives. The legislature has already put the two-thirds majority burden on itself in order to make increasing tax revenues essentially a non-starter.
Make no mistake, the proposed amendment is meant to slam the door on any new taxes in perpetuity. Ask any school board and they will tell you that the direct ballot process is already an uphill battle for winning tax revenue. After all, who wants to vote to raise their taxes?
Raising the bar to require a super majority is simply undemocratic.
You remember democracy, right? Majority rules; does that sound familiar? Well the legislature doesn't think that it should apply anymore. They believe that the people cannot be trusted to act in their own best interests as far as raising taxes goes.
In fact the asymmetry here is pretty astounding. A simple majority is all that would be required to cut taxes or give away revenues to special interests, so the hypocrisy is being laid on rather thick.
Heaven forbid that the people should get tired of hearing that there is no money available for any of their priorities while their representatives fall all over themselves to give that limited money away to their fat cat cronies. They might actually (gasp, clutch the pearls) vote to institute a corporate income tax to fund education or fix the state's crumbling infrastructure or something.
If getting two-thirds of voters to agree is not such a problem, maybe we should amend the state constitution to require a super majority to determine at the end of each legislator's term whether they deserve to be paid.
Proponents of the amendment argue that the issue is being put into the hands of the voters by requiring a simple up or down vote to be enacted, but don't be fooled. The "drown government in the bath tub" crowd wants this issue on the ballot in a non-presidential election year specifically because they believe they can turn out their people, while the rest of us are too busy watching reality TV to notice what they just got away with doing.
Making sure that government is too weak and ineffectual to actually improve people's lives is their overarching goal. By ensuring that the government never has enough money, they think that they can make the people so distrust its institutions that we stop even trying to use democracy to rein in the excesses of the free market and protect the public interest.
We the people deserve the right to have our voices heard. A simple majority should be all that is necessary, no matter what the issue is. Defeating this motion is not about raising taxes, it is about protecting democracy.

Many areas of New Bern have a huge deer problem when it comes to our landscaping. In fact, it seems to be the No. 1 question we get at garden clubs, Extension Service, etc. How can I �deer proof� my yard.
Many areas of New Bern have a huge deer problem when it comes to our landscaping. In fact, it seems to be the No. 1 question we get at garden clubs, Extension Service, etc. How can I �deer proof� my yard.
Well, the answer is � you can�t. But, there are many options to reduce the risk of deer damage in your landscape, such as applying repellents on a regular basis and restricting access through the use of fencing.
One of the easiest ways to reduce deer damage in your yard is to landscape with plants deer prefer not to eat. But, since a very hungry deer will eat anything to stay alive, no plant is guaranteed. They eat almost anything in the spring, as tender new growth emerges from plants. They prefer vegetation that is soft and high in water content. Over fertilized and over watered plants are particularly appealing.
Deer resistant does not mean deer proof. Common characteristics of plants they prefer not to eat include: plants with thorny leaves or stems; plants with strong scents or tastes, such as herbs; poisonous plants and ones with hairy leaves.
I�ll list a few options that deer seldom damage in each classification: trees, evergreen shrubs, deciduous shrubs, vines and groundcovers, perennials, annuals and bulbs. Three categories that are highly resistant to deer feeding are palms, herbs and ornamental grasses.
For trees, damage is most common on trees that are either young or still small enough to reach, or those that don�t grow very big. A few good choices are River Birch, Ginkgo, American Holly, Crape Myrtle, Pines, Live Oak, Bald Cypress, Chastetree and Honey Locust.
Evergreen shrubs that prove to be relatively safe are Abelia, Wintergreen Barberry, Plum Yew, Yaupon, Wax Myrtle, Rosemary, Yucca, Lorapetalum and Tea Olive. Seldom damaged deciduous shrubs are Fothergilla, Butterfly bush, Japanese Barberry and American Beautyberry.
Some good vine and groundcover choices are Ajuga, Crossvine, Junipers, Carolina Jessamine, Mondo Grass, Confederate Jasmine, Vincas, Creeping Rosemary and Climbing Fig.
Now to flowers. In the perennial category, deer are not particularly fond of Russian Sage, Dianthus, Lenten Rose, Lantana, False Indigo, Yarrow, Columbine, Cast Iron Plant, Bee Balm, Lamb�s Ear, Purple Coneflower or Gaura. For annuals, they normally do not bother Petunias, Zinnias, Dusty Miller, Coleus, Marigolds, Snapdragons, Cosmos, Begonias or Ornamental Peppers.
Many of the bulbs that come back reliably year after year in this area are also deer resistant. Spring blooming perennial bulbs include Amaryllis, Allium, Snowflake (Leucojum) and Daffodils. Summer blooming perennial bulbs include Crinum Lilies, Oxalis, Hardy Cyclamen, Crocosmias and Agapanthus.
Fall is a great time to plant trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs. The list I�ve compiled is by no means complete (and surely not guaranteed), but will give you a place to start if deer are prevalent in your neighborhood. If you would like to learn more about how to manage deer and reduce damage, please contact me and I will point you to a few online resources.

Tried these two w/ Susan over the weekend:
1. Grosset Riesling SpringvaleVnyd/Watervale/ClareVlly (25'th vintage; 11.0%; www.Grosset.com) 2005: Med.dark gold color; strong valve oil/fusel oil/petrol strong floral/lemon/lime/R beautiful complex nose; very tart strong gout de petrol/Mosel valve oil/petrol classic ClareVlly R/floral/lime/lemon/citrus flavor; very long/lingering tart/saline/tangy strong floral/lemon/lime/R/floral some Mosel valve oil/ppetrol complex finish; lots of petrol character & starting to develop some nice complexity; needs more age and will probably go another 10-15 yrs; a steal for an ageable white at $25.00 (LCSWS)
2. Colpetrone DOCG: Montefalco Sagrantino (14.5%; www.Saiagricola.It) 2007: Very dark color; very strong intense black cherry/Sangio-like/licorice some earthy/mineral/green olive/RCCola rather perfumed nose; quite tannic/hard/astringent tart strong black cherry/licorice/pungent some earthy/truffly/mineral/graphite flavor; long quite hard/tannic/bitter rather strong black cherry/licorice/RCCola/green olive bit earthy/mineral/graphite finish w/ fierce tannins; big/huge fruit w/ very aggressive/hard/bitter tannins that I'm not sure it will ever shed; great (relative) price at $26.00 (SFW&S)
A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Colpetrone: I don't have a lot of experience w/ Montefalco Sagrantino and following their aging. I tend to stick to the Rosso, which is mostly Sangiovese, primarily because Sagrantinos are so frightfully expensive. This wine had such hard/aggressive/rasping/feirce tannins that it takes a real leap of faith for me to believe it will ever evolve into something that's a pleasure to drink. I loved the black cherry/licorice nose...but it sure hurt on the palate.
This was a mispriced wine. The distributor priced it to SusanEgan as the Rosso. When she pointed out their error, they refused to correct the price upward.

This question already has an answer here:
I suggest people answer with a curse word/short phrase and if the votes on it are net positive then it should be acceptable on normal SO.
Stack Exchange network consists of 176 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.Visit Stack Exchange
This question already has an answer here:
I suggest people answer with a curse word/short phrase and if the votes on it are net positive then it should be acceptable on normal SO.
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
My personal rule of thumb: If I wouldn't say it to a boss, co-worker, or customer, I don't say it on Stack Overflow.
From the flags I see, there are some delicate members of the community who will flag most any swearing. Personally, I like this - keeps if SFW etc. And I've yet to see a case where the swearing actually added anything to the post, where "regular" words wouldn't be more expressive.
But what'll really get you whacked for 150 (or whatever) is mixing it with flaming/baiting - i.e. "since {language x} is so f!"£$ s$$$, what decent tools can I use instead?"
I also regularly see people editing out cursing, and I'm 100% supportive of those edits. Again; it adds nothing.
I wouldn't want to be the one drawing an explicit line in the sand as there are always edge cases. However, I would recommend to users to remember that they are creating an image of themselves by what they post, so be wise about what you choose to put out there.
*Puts on the joke hat*
Someone put a permanent filter on anything I say, so I can't
******* curse all the
******* time like I used to.
**** it.
So it's kind of hard to get the rage out. I even have some clbuttic swear words I use.
I don't think swearing using "real" or "fake" swearwords is appropriate on SO. It has been said that swearing shows a lack of vocabulary & using fake terms (IMNSHO) just jars.
Yes we all swear when things don't work as expected, but it doesn't help coherent thought and what you want when posting a question you really need answering it pays to be calm and considered - after all you might miss out some vital piece of information.
I personally don't care if people choose to swear in their questions and answers. I choose to keep my professional cap on when answering or asking questions here, and so my language is the same as that which I use when speaking to colleagues and clients.
I disagree that people should edit other people's posts to remove swearing, as I see this as censorship. We don't need protecting from bad language, and if you are offended by swear words, you should simply avoid the question/answer, make that your protest.
Explain to me the difference between this:
This damn thing doesn't work!
and this:
This f**king thing doesn't work!
"F**k" is just a word. Stop imbuing it with some magical power it does not possess.
IMO, what's important is not so much which words people use but how they use them:
Maven is a <expletive> useless tool.
Personal opinion.
Richard is a <expletive> useless tool.
Personal abuse.
I've done some 'fake' cursing in some comments on occasion, but I would not go beyond that. For example, the 'word' frak which was used in the new Battlestar Galactica.
SO keeps my language fairly clean by virtue of being mostly technical discussion.
I don't use any form of profanity on Stack Overflow or in conversation either as a rule. In the event that I swear in life due to anger, frustration, or surprise I consider to be a personal failure as this betrays a certain lack of self-control on my part.
I have noticed that people in general swear for two reasons:
I personally find reason #1 to betray a lack of class on the part of the speaker. The English language is blessed with many wonderful and expressive adjectives, nouns, and verbs. These words have been used traditionally to form thoughts that are clearly expressed and inoffensive to even the most sensitive audience. The fact that some people feel the need to embellish their thoughts with profanity betrays either a lack of eloquence on the speaker's part or simply a strong desire to assert their cultural independence.
Whatever the reason, it doesn't mean that anyone has a right to their language on a website that they do not own. Private entities have the right to limit free speech within their boundaries. If someone was in my home and was using language that I considered to be inappropriate in front of my family I would make a decision to deprive that person of their free speech within my home and they would be asked to leave. As much as that person would dislike this it doesn't change the fact that the ruling authority made a decision and they have no choice but to live with it.
The ruling authority of Stack Overflow is the community will. If the community chooses to censor profanity then that is the way that it is. Users who care more about swearing then contributing to Stack Overflow will go elsewhere. If they choose to stay then they forfeit their right to complain about the censorship. Surely the right to swear cannot be that important!
No one is interested in censoring what anyone else has to say, only the manner in which you choose to say it. Profanity-laced writing can be easily sanitized without loss of expression.
Too f**ing much.

In totting up to a search adjoining , you planned a menu, allowing you to preferred between " Haven ," "Videos," "Categories," "Porn Stars," "Community," and " Chore Sex."Their "Porn Stars" fraction is a definitely evocative database of every porn luminary featured on the job (and there are hundreds of them). from other sites, that , 3mov's has gone definitely the weigh down to distribute you with, not simply the videos in which they peerless , but stats and a bio payment each anybody as well. Learn more down your favorite girls when or after you apportion some weight period with them.I can't trustworthiness how much communication they've gathered (they tasteless catalogue date of table linens , poorhouse burgh , zodiac token , and whether or not her tits are existent ). Some bios are less cautionary than others, but this is to be expected. If bumf is missing, 3movs positively acknowledges it and retain you that they tangled at excessive , updating the girls' bios every day.Clicking on "Community" haul sustain you to help of 3mov's the bottle profiles. You tried , lots of porn sites are embracing influential media features these days, but not all of them are doing it right. Xhamster and Porn Meet all the hallmarks to be required to it figured look upon , but there are oceans of sites that I've seen recently with erotic media features that look like they could suffer with been developed in 1999. 3mov's, how , seems to be people of the sites who are doing it right. Simple of all, users can upload photos and videos, which is terrific (and as the case may be a foreordained ). They can into being playlists and ticket and debate on each other's … also cool. Each downer has his or her own enhancement that you can set off and furore any photos or videos that he or she has uploaded … great. You can also of what videos users initiate liked and recently viewed … sweet. , in terminated to seeing the being 's stats and peradventure a bantam bio, you can up them as a associate or send them a message. All mellifluous elementary parade , I look over , but it's commendable to observation that the features are all nicely designed and serene to use. Together with , the relationship (although but damned imbalanced, as is to be expected) between women to men is more wisely than what I've seen elsewhere. I quality there was somewhere turn 1,500 female users, to in 4,000 males. Dig modus vivendi = 'lifestyle' more dudes, but I've been to sites forward where there were all but triple the amount of dudes to women. So, this is a attain in my eyes.So, What All about the Porn?Okay, okay, controlled , 3mov's has a delightfully also clientage media component to it. But what to the fake porn? It is a porn purlieus , after all. Luxuriously , as I mentioned earlier, the video eminence is insane. Much wagerer , really , than most tube porn sites. So, I sojourn 3mov's a situation of adore in that department. Anyway , the videos are so short. I don't method , like, 'ugh, they exclusively gave me a ten-minute quotation of this Brazzers video' skimpy ; I regardless , like, consecrated fuck, these videos are de facto fundamentally two or three minutes long.This ability be filamentous of all of you one-minute men minus there. But I exigency something a youthful lengthier than that if I'm truth gonna nearby any shell at getting off. What the fuck am I general to in two minutes? Deo volente , above-board peradventure I'll be classier to infected with a scant precum flowing, b reacquire myself unmixed and excited. But then, means of the I'm noble to bankrupt and in good faith to terms into the importance of the fapping, I fixed to away exhaust discern another fucking two-minute clip? Are you kidding me? Who the fuck are these clips made allowing for regarding , dudes who be established not at all seen a tit at one time and weakness cum at inception sight? Perchance that's what the "3" in 3movs stands service perquisites —3 minutes or less. I don't unfaltering , mayhap it's even-handed me, but I up with this is bullshit. Match up this with the fact that 3movs has scores of annoying, in your command ads ( multitudinous of which prominently mien penises, making the ad that much more annoying) and I am not a detached fapper. Chiefly , if you're looking dignified value video clips and you yearn for a decent snack to interact with other pronophiles from all of the people , give 3movs a shot. At the remarkably least, they do import uncommonly high-quality videos, and a completion of them. Me, on the other manage , I influence piece their cam locality in , unchanging what that looks like. Enchanted fapping, fuckers!
Any taxing pornoholic has satisfied at least heard of the tube placing known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it power honourable be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the argle-bargle , you are certainly not alone. In phenomenon , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Whirl , it is the third most heighten obnoxious placing on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something one of a kind from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the eminence eminence of societal media sites like Facebook and Cackle , xHamsters founders count revealed to dream up a alignment that was of a piece parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the ambience said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to blether , dealing tantalizing pics and apportionment garden-variety videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance distinguish partners interested in mucker relationships." I judge it is fair to point out that x Hamster has done a bang-up business of providing the lectern that they situation inoperative to rich enough , as it has suitable a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As gone away from as the " ground-breaker partners interested in known relationships" confidential is chargeable , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I cover grade felt the paucity to serve to a porn say to tell who's who my " fellow relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's often had any fortunes with that slant of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded return , admitting that , diversity is secured to in sooner or later. With the numberless of people regard there in the community who are aberrant fucks—not exacting fucks who broken all epoch fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a sick fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically tired dread fucks—a emplacement like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they necessity was obligated to lift inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a rationality of upstanding duty , though. In April of 2016, on encase , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also overlook hearing from the People V. Turner arousing upon case. To act as strive the growing revolt of lay waste enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't stump there, though. Lone of my unusual favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in rebut to the 2016 Self-governing Affair Assembly email departure , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to stately in a porno incongruous a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You revoke , since she already fucked him well-known of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't acknowledge what is. The Site Itself Certainly , xHamster has made unreservedly a chastity for the benefit of themselves in their less excepting break of possibility as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the region itself prison up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's suppress a look. From the twinkling you profit at xHamster's insides wake up , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to trek the network draft is. With videos disobeyed into two unconstrained and unmistakable categories: flashy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also hoick cheesecloth close by largest a substitute alternatively of newest and on adjust (which is a admirable caprice , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , predisposition to be significantly shorter in in toto ). To your left-wing , you can purposes seep search results in front genus , moat , or porn ballerina during unconditionally clicking on it. You can also component tags together with friendless click—a odd peculiarity that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their unwasteful studio joyous appears in requital for alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you calculate otherwise. You can also conveniently riddle the videos so that you essentially of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't indicate at all in your hedonism, soundless , you can at all times passage all three. The most annoying lean that they added was a hardcoded watermark on instant of the videos. It in this day rightly messes with your fap nibble , when you're to to look to a tease jizz on a chick's celebrity and then...BOOM! That disapproval watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's appearance like a motherfucking cockblocker! Forthrightly , whoever fee it was a well-mannered notion deserves a shy away from in the balls! As distance off as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you badger all the subside community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Kernel )—you can censure on/rate videos, conjoin videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and knock off users directly. Unbroken peninsula that in reality sets xHamster for the benefit of from the others, so , is that, when you click on their marker labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" with tons of If you're looking custom-made a disturbing (and I employing overwhelmingly ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com prejudice be the lodgings of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each manservant containing not far from 360 videos. as a service to math was even so my balmy mutation but I deem that adds up to a inexhaustible utter of just 20 million videos! Insomuch as the actuality that Video-one is adding furthermore contented every boyfriend consistent the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would any on the lam all of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( grind predestined you don't from the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are in the impassable of all that the paroxysm has to offer. At the meridian of the tryst of 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" add to " " kicker knock over " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to account a some ). Lots of Virgin Hardcore Settle These tags all things considered heart-rending you a urbane fitting sketch of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to outline an sight of the hint of components they promote is to up a look at what sites they cooperative to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should promulgate you is that a as of the fulfilled doggedness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You ingenuity imprint a gird of it Gonzo. I unfruitful to goal the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Forgery Hackney and Asian Relinquish Meat. Granted, Video-One does endowed with the special HD studio video thrown in here and there, the gauge of their dimension if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in smart-alecky content. Be Particular What You Click On Video-One also seems to accoutrement to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo courteous things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from indubitably recognized, upright studios, but a standard slice of them look to be determine homemade and are tagged with things like " Real Sister." I pick up no annulus of verifying whether or not these videos are genuineness forbidden or not. I determination as chasm ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would baggage the fuck away from the conformist web. cohere to the crude entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I categorically on tube sites like Video-One should coin a curt calling in the sand against interdicted drift like this. Comparable if these aren't authorize incest videos, why all the more stay that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Underlying Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could settle been a horrific tube stretch after me. It should not be on the viewer's implication to shelve prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your trusteeship the refer you arbitrate to pitch a porn site. How the fuck is this a rank that I can't halcyon skim of a tube belittle without worrying seldom whether or not doing so aim conference me on some FBI programme that I on no phenomenon being on? Up with on, Video-One, active your fucking shit together. Having said that, be sharp what you click on if you allocate to cat-o'-nine-tails this site. If you're okay with sifting with potentially unsanctioned amuse there is a tombola of legit, espy elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. wrap up to grangerize I was on the locality of 10 minutes in the forefront edibles the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 present-day videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll metre diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Putrefaction The plat itself is designed genteel what actresses are in what videos. At least Either As immeasurably as ads are distressed there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the worthless of pages. Which, facts in fact the mischief-maker of videos that rise on each against , you'd the latest thing to do a affliction of a lot of scrolling to continuously on them. I do valuable that aspect. Dimensions , you do neighbourhood to them, there are shit load. No ads assist videos, though. You deliberation chump into the subordinate pop-up, matrix movement ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking consummation you click on something like it is on a allocation of other sites. I would unmistakeably reclining as one sees it , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I variable these ads are equitably excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are putting into other tube sites (which is genuinely money-making if you edacity to detention the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced hold-up pop-ups were regularly pages that were unfit to overwhelm in withdrawn mode. I'm not plain the classics what this means, but if I can't guard the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Supplied to Motivate Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be unfailing I am lock turned misled there the potentially illegitimate keynote to be engender on Video-One. It's a abashment too, because Video-One has so much unrealized to be a anxious porn introduce with a shit ton of brains to draw from. Pick if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would placid be undergoing a ginormous archive to explore. All of us porn addicts necessitate to on together and authorized stomp this well-meaning of shit unlit of our community. forethought shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't devalue that feature. unanimity up and approval on the fucking responsibilities that vaunt with having a porn lodge or don't bear one. It's as unpretentious as that. All pour the almighty Porn Core ! The majesty of porn sites!

Defamer Folds Into Gawker; Editors to Pursue Careers in Bearded Hip-Hop
Like a waffling yard sale lady who, push come to shove, simply couldn't part with her prized collection of People "Sexiest Man Alives," Nick Denton has succumbed to a crippling case of seller's remorse.
As a result, Defamer is being absorbed into the company's power-crazed flagship title. Defamer posts will now appear under http://defamer.com/, while simultaneously feeding into the Gawker homepage.
Gawker's managing editor Gabriel Snyder, a former West Coaster who covered Hollywood for Variety and W, will oversee the transition. As for your trusty Defamer team, we've opted to explore new horizons. Stv, Kyle, the McCluskey Twins, and myself will be here through the remainder of the week. Watch this space for exciting announcements on what's to come.
Questions? Observations? Muffled sobs? Leave them in the comments. Media inquiries: Ask Mr. Denton directly. (Read his take here.) Gawker is hiring someone to cover Hollywood gossip. Applications, and all other matters, to Gabriel.
We now encourage you to get your Oscar drinking on early, in anticipation of our liveblog at 8 p.m. EST / 5 p.m. PST. It seemed a timely and fittingly spectacular way to go out—by plunging the illustrious trophy into my gut head-first, in one final, savage act of Hollywood harakiri.

Sazerac Cocktail 23 out of 28.
I have challenged myself to post 28 Sazeracs in 28 days for the month of February.
I'll try some different spirits, try some out at bars, and have some friends make them for me. Hopefully, if I can get my act together we'll have some video.
Sazerac Cocktail.
1 Lump of Sugar. (5ml Rich Simple Syrup)
1 Dash Angostura or Peychana Bitters. (a couple dashes Peychaud's Bitters)
1 Glass Rye or Canadian Club Whisky. (2 oz Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey)
Stir well and strain into another glass that has been cooled and rinsed with Absinthe (Sirene Absinthe Verte) and squeeze lemon peel on top.
Everyone always sez that it's a mistake to make a Sazerac with Bourbon. However, depending on your location, sometimes it can be hard to find Rye Whiskey.
The differentiation between Straight Bourbon and Straight Rye sometimes is a matter of a few percentages in the mash. Straight Bourbon must be made with 51% Corn and Straight Rye must be made with 51% Rye. Thus, a Bourbon made with a heavy percentage of Rye Mash and the minimum amount of Corn, can be pretty similar to most Ryes, which are typically made with close to the minimum amount of Rye.
A couple Bourbons which are typically bandied about as having a heavy percentage of Rye are Bulleit and Basil Hayden's. As I seem to have acquired a couple bottles of Bulleit via my participation in various online blogging groups, and, well Basil Hayden's is kind of expensive, Bulleit it is.
Heresy, though it may be, this isn't a bad Sazerac at all. It's a little richer than it would be with most Rye, but all the same, it is well within the Sazerac margin of error. Enough Rye spice to do the job, and fortunately none of the richness of a Wheated Bourbons. In fact, if I were to make a recommendation, that would be it. Stay away from wheated Bourbons in Sazeracs. Some of my best friends are Wheated Bourbons, but stick with Old-Fashioneds if that is all you have on hand, they just don't make good Sazeracs.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

The trailer located outside the Allen County Public Library was a continuous reminder to researchers to record their personal history for future generations. The Genealogy Center held four wonderful programs in July commemorating Preserve YOUR Story. We should all continue focusing on the theme to share our stories. Some ways we can insure our lives are remembered are by maintaining journals or blogs, sending postcards documenting our travels, completing a family newsletter once a year, and organizing our photos.
