Steve Roach - Immersion 3 (3CD) roach32
2007. IMMERSION: THREE is the next chapter in an ongoing series of long-form, steady state "zones" created specifically as tone meditations for the living space. Gently immersive and especially effective at low volume, the non-dynamic nature of these spaces support focused day and night activities. Immersion is perfect for creative states, sleeping, reading, long hours at the computer and other functions where traditional music could be considered invasive. Minimal in nature and sonically uninterrupted without beginning or end, this 3-CD set of all-new material (nearly four hours long) brings Steve's years as a sound painter of deep subtle spaces to a place of quiet mastery. This release is especially effective in dissolving the sense of linear time.
"My deeper self explorations into exploring the hypnagogic state, the place between wakefulness and sleep are in full bloom on this set. The inspiration to expand this realm of sound and the state it helps to induce is setting the course for an exciting new phase, which I will announce soon." -- Steve Roach
"Steve Roach continues to make a rarefied sound as the Mark Rothko of electronic music." -- John Diliberto, Echoes Syndicated Radio

Like every open-source project, django CMS is always looking for motivated individuals to contribute to it's source code. However, to ensure the highest code quality and keep the repository nice and tidy, everybody has to follow a few rules (nothing major, I promise :) )
People interested in developing for the django CMS should join the django-cms-developers mailing list as well as heading over to #django-cms on the freenode IRC network for help and to discuss the development.
You may also be interested in following @djangocmsstatus on twitter to get the GitHub commits as well as the hudson build reports. There is also a @djangocms account for less technical announcements.
Here's what the contribution process looks like, in a bullet-points fashion, and only for the stuff we host on GitHub:
If you're interested in developing a new feature for the CMS, it is recommended that you first discuss it on the django-cms-developers mailing list so as not to do any work that will not get merged in anyway.
Since we're hosted on GitHub, django CMS uses git as a version control system.
The GitHub help is very well written and will get you started on using git and GitHub in a jiffy. It is an invaluable resource for newbies and old timers alike.
We try to conform to PEP8 as much as possible. A few highlights:
This is how you fix a bug or add a feature:
Having a wide and comprehensive library of unit-tests and integration tests is of exceeding importance. Contributing tests is widely regarded as a very prestigious contribution (you're making everybody's future work much easier by doing so). Good karma for you. Cookie points. Maybe even a beer if we meet in person :)
Generally tests should be:
In a similar way to code, pull requests will be reviewed before pulling (obviously), and we encourage discussion via code review (everybody learns something this way) or IRC discussions.
To run the tests simply execute
runtests.sh from your shell. To make sure
you have the correct environment you should also provide the
flag, but since that makes running the test suite slower, it's disabled by
default. You can also see all flags using
Perhaps considered "boring" by hard-core coders, documentation is sometimes even more important than code! This is what brings fresh blood to a project, and serves as a reference for old timers. On top of this, documentation is the one area where less technical people can help most - you just need to write a semi-decent English. People need to understand you. We don't care about style or correctness.
Documentation should be:
Pulling of documentation is pretty fast and painless. Usually somebody goes over your text and merges it, since there are no "breaks" and that GitHub parses rst files automagically it's really convenient to work with.
Also, contributing to the documentation will earn you great respect from the core developers. You get good karma just like a test contributor, but you get double cookie points. Seriously. You rock.
We use Python documentation conventions fo section marking:
# with overline, for parts
* with overline, for chapters
=, for sections
-, for subsections
^, for subsubsections
", for paragraphs
For translators we have a Transifex account where you can translate the .po files and don't need to install git or mercurial to be able to contribute. All changes there will be automatically sent to the project.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala, where it is distilled from fresh cane juice before aging at 7544 feet at 62 °F (17 °C).
The 500 year-old Spanish Sistema Solera method is used to age Ron Zacapa 23 in white oak casks. This results in a combination of rums aged between 6 and 23 years.
The current Ron Zacapa 23 bottle features a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle.

Sweet spices on the nose, finishes a bit harsh on the throat.
Yes it tastes great. No it is not a genuine aged rum. The XO version is IMO less sweet and more what this rum should be, but the 23 has been sweetened to make it more appealing to the American palate. Also, this is not a 23 yr old rum, it is a Solera blend of aged rum the OLDEST of which is 23 yrs, the average age is closer to 6-8 years.
The "z" rums - Zaya, Zacapa, Zafra - as well as Diplomatico and others have led people to believe aged rums should be sweet and smooth, while drier genuine rums - Appleton 12 yr, Mount Gay extra old, Flor de Cana, Seales 10 yr, any agricole rhum - are more indicative of what rum SHOULD taste like in its unaltered state, but less appealing to most people's palates.
I am even beginning to think that my favorite El Dorado rums are sweetened, though it is less dominant and actually compliments the robust flavors of the Demeraran rum. The same could be said for Zaya and this one, though IMO the sweetness is considerably more forward. The Zaya and zacapa are robust enough to still be interesting, while Diplomatico Reserva and Ron Fortuna 8 yr both taste flat and boring to me. Ron Fortuna 8 yr is the worst offender yet, nauseatingly sweet and bland. Both probably were decent subtle rums before being sweetened within an inch of their lives.
Edit : I have recently come across some info on a Swedish national site that discloses added sugar in rums. This rum formerly had 45 g/ltr of sugar added, which - along with El Dorado 12 yr - was by far the most of any rum on the list. It has recently (no idea when) been reduced to 20 g/ltr.
(Update January 3, 2020: So... after reading through the hydrometer tests, I unfortunately discovered that Ron Zacapa is a company that absolutely loads their "premium rums" with additives like sugars and coloring such. This is something that disappointments me greatly. As noted on my recent review of Zacapa's Edicion Negra, "premium" rums with additives that aren't labeled mean an automatic three points off. That means the highest I can give this now is a 7. It won't go lower because this review is still otherwise true... I do love this rum regardless. Sadly, it's a flavored rum, not a pure rum. Hence the drop in rating.)
I finally got my hands on Ron Zacapa 23... not a 750mL bottle, unfortunately, because they were out, but two 50mL bottles. I went ahead and opened one.
Now, I did do something that perhaps might be seen as... erm... wrong? But it works for me and always brings out more flavors in basically any spirit I'm enjoying.
In short, I used a Vinturi Spirit Aerator, and used that to pour the rum into one of the Neat Whiskey Glasses (I don't have a specific rum glass... wouldn't mind some recommendations).
Sipping it like that has really changed my whole understanding of rum. I've always enjoyed Captain Morgan, but this blows them out of the universe. I'm sipping it right now and it's hard to describe, but...
My dad is basically a scotch collector, and he's been teaching me how to distinguish nose and palate and finish with scotch. I was never very good. I'm okay (not great, but not bad, either) at being able to tell by taste when a scotch has been aged in sherry casks. I can also pinpoint obvious stuff, like smokiness/peatiness, and stuff like that. But I've never been very good at picking out various flavors.
With this, I can do it. On the nose I get hints of vanilla, cocoa, and caramel. I've never been a big fan of bananas, and I was expecting that, but I get something more along the lines of plantain, which while I wouldn't say I like, I definitely prefer over banana.
I love the complex sweetness of the palate. Caramel is the overarching flavor I get. The plantain comes out again, only in tiny hints, however. I pick up raisin and apricot, as well. And an underlying hint of coffee.
And I absolutely adore how this sits on my tongue. It's sugar... which I guess is to be expected. And I love that.
This is nothing like those mixing rums I like. They never had a really defined flavor that I could pick out. Just... rum. But this is something else.
I find Zacapa to be rather tasty but way too sweet to have more than a couple oz. Drink a half bottle and get ready for a big-time hangover. Good mouth feel, long finish, nice bouquet of baking spices, vanilla and caramel on the palate. Sadly, when rums like this one are artificially colored and flavored like this, I cannot consider it a fine rum. Also "Solera 23" is truly deceptive. There may be 2% to 5% of 20+ year old rum in there, but I have been told the average age is closer to 6 yrs. Now, 6 yrs is plenty of time to make a great rum, but don't lie to me.....
By far the most over rated rum in the world. There are so many additives, including sugar and glycerine, which is fine I guess, but they a deny it! It's marketed by Diageo which is one of the biggest liquor companies in the world. The rum has no flair, no passion, it's essentially an alcoholic sugar syrup and for the price you can get so much more. Do yourselves a favor if you want Guatemalan rum and go for ron botran. It's not as sweet, and it adds so much more passion and depth than this garbage
This is absolute crap! I can't believe there are so many people who still believe this to be great rum. It's really just moderately aged stuff combined with a ton of raw molasses and other sweet additives after distillation.
I think this rum is responsible for many people thinking 'rum is too sweet'. The fact is this rum is too sweet and far too popular. Let people make their own cocktails out of your average at best rum with out trying to make a pre-batched cocktail like this an ultra-premium rum! You're only hurting the category as a whole.
This rum is as much the base line to critic a lot of molasses rums as well as maybe the easiest entrance to the world of rums.
The RZ 23 was a rum I was looking forward to. It have some reputation. Unfortunately it didn't live up to it.
I mostly use it for drinks. It can be consumes straight but it's not very smooth or exiting to drink. It's a rum that I won't buy again.
While I agree that the solera system hides the true make up of this rum, I think it is quite good regardless of the younger spirits that likely make up the majority of the bottle. The sweetness is actually held back nicely, at least compared to other Spansih style rums as say Diplomatico. There is also a nice touch of oak. I think it stands on ots own merits quite well.
The Zacapa 23 comes in a paper box and a very nice bottle with the classical woven band around it (image).
On the nose you get some alcohol, toffee, fruit, vanilla, wood and spices. After a while the alcohol disappears and the other flavors gets more intense. In mouth the Zacapa 23 is smooth and sweet with some spice and a lot of vanilla.
In the throat the Zacapa 23 is very smooth with a bit of spice and oak at the end. The aftertaste disappears rather quickly. It should be longer.
I think that the Zacapa 23 is a very good and price worthy sipper but I only give it 8/10 because I think the Zacapa XO is a bit better as a sipper.
Want diabetes? Drink this garbage. So full of sugar and artificial flavours, so full of lies from the age statement to the 'hand woven' stupid weave around it. Save your money and don't give it to these liars and cheats
The Zacapa 23 was the first rum I could find myself enjoying, and it has become the benchmark against which I measure all other rum experiences.
The flavour is deep, layered, and complex. It reminds me of single malt whisky, with smoke-y and oak-y hints to the dark and spicy rum aroma.
I cannot believe this "rum" was once marketed as world's best: Its cheap coloured alcohol with plenty sugar added. Nada mas. I would not serve it except with ice cream. The age statements are a joke, the "rum" is a joke - it is more sherry than rum - and basically it is soo overpriced that it is shameful.
So, as a big rum fan I tried this as it is surrounded by a lot of hype. The best conclusion I can make is, if you think this is a good rum, you are not a rum fan, stop drinking rum and go back to single malts.
This tastes like a really smooth, sweet single malt. Not bad, but the sweetness seems like 'sweetener' sweet, not sugar or caramel. I did try mixing it too, but it is terrible with cola, terrible with ginger, but not so bad with Copella apple and raspberry juice.
I ended up binning it, I would advice vigilance towards others 'rum' reviews if they rated this over 5.
This stuff tastes like Diet Coke, and yet it's the most popular rum on the website. I don't get it.
All the people who are not accustom to drinking rum, are enjoying Zacapa 23y. It's pretty sweet and not that heavy. It's not my favorite but it's a close second.
It's a good rum; probably one of the better ones to start sipping with.
I decidet to buy this rum since there is a plenty of good ratings on this rum, but I was very disappointed.
On the nose is nice, but in the taste I found something hard defying which my tongue did not liked. Something synthetic bitterish and sharp.
There are lot of better rums in this price range. Definitely will not buy again :-/
This isn't rum. Oh, wait, it actually IS rum because pretty much anything can be sold as rum since rum consumers are apparently too ignorant/lazy/naive/easily parted with their money/etc to demand the kind of regulations that would exclude this cheap sugary swill from being labelled rum in the first place.
Besides the diabetes-inducing levels of sugar in here there is almost certainly a boatload of other additives, chemical flavourings, and artificial adulterants added as well. And yet, after all that, after having forsaken all their integrity and craftsmanship, the producers still failed to make it taste good. I mean, if you're gonna add sugar, artificial flavours and god knows what else then at least make it delicious! Otherwise what's the point? This is just extremely sweet (so smooth!) booze water that has a bunch of very flat, artificial-tasting rummy notes, eg, caramel, toffee, vanilla, coconut, orange etc. I did my own simple sugar test by placing a few drops on a plate and letting it evaporate. Several hours later an obscene amount of sticky residue remained, so much so that you'd think almost half of the rum was sugar and glycerol. Try it out yourself. By the way, the bottle claims the rum is 40% ABV, but it doesn't taste like it, even with the added sugar taken into account, and I have seen (admittedly amateur) tests that put it around 28-35% ABV... So, yeah, this company sucks so much.
Anyway, on to the more important aspects of this rum. First, it has the number 23 on it, which is a good high number to have written on a bottle of alcohol. Second, it is wrapped in a kind of twine band - very fancy! Third, on the label there are some gold medals denoting some kind of awards. From these three facts alone you immediately know that you're getting a quality product...
Okay, okay, I know I'm being kinda snobby and pretentious, but if people were a little more discriminating and demanded the kind of transparency that would allow one to know exactly what it is they're consuming then perhaps we'd all start getting the quality we're already paying for. The price for this dreck is absurd. Look, I don't want to stop people from drinking this shite, I just want it labelled correctly so that brilliant, fascinating, handsome people with exceptionally refined tastes will only ever see it where it belongs - on the bottom shelf in the liqueur aisle.
Nose: Medium sweet, nice aroma, too alcoholic
Taste: Sweet, sugar
Tail: Balanced, with alcohol spike at the end
Added sugar 20g per liter
Easy to drink
Had this after a whisky. It had a lot of taste. Sweet and easy to drink straight up. I liked it
Avec le Diplomatico ce Ron Zacapa 23 doit faire parti des meilleurs ventes de rhum Solera et les critiques sont souvent élogieuses. J'ai hésité à commander directement le XO mais je me suis dit qu'il serait intéressant de partir avec ce qui semble être la référence chez cette maison.
Je n'en suis qu'à ma seconde dégustation mais pour le moment je suis relativement déçu. Alors ça se boit bien, c'est même assez bon mais compte tenu du prix il y a tellement de choses plus intéressante. Mon El Dorado 15 ans coûte moins cher et offre beaucoup plus ! Je vais caricaturer un peu mais je ne sens que le sucre, le caramel et la vanille... bref la base de tous les rhums quoi. Je n'y trouve pas grande complexité et si en bouche il est plutôt doux je le trouve par contre un poil agressif à la descente.
J'attends les prochains verres pour voir si mon avis évolue mais pour le moment je reste sur ma faim compte tenu de sa réputation.
Local shop proclaimed this was his best rum. Tried it along with Kirk & Sweeney and Plantation 5 year. Zacapa turned out to be my least fave. Don't get me wrong - this is not a bad rum by any stretch, just not my favorite. Very smooth, but the combination of flavors left me a little flat. Have since tried the Zacapa XO and have to say that one is fantastic!
I've tried Zacapa 23 on many occasions. It's loaded with extra sugar or something and it's not at all a 23yr aged rum. I'm not easy to please and this falls short. Way short. I do give a great deal of credit to Zacapa for opening the eyes of buyers vs products like Bacardi and Capt Morgan. Notice that most people put coke in those. I just want to sip neat.
I enjoy this rum, has a nice sweet aroma and taste. Very smooth to drink, had enjoy it. Would recommend to give it a try.
Wonderfully intricate with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit...

Letter of Advice to Queen Victoria
Lin Zexu was not successful. He was able to seize and destroy tons of opium. However, his actions are often considered to have directly lead to China's participation and loss in the First Opium War. Despite a promising start, he failed to end the opium problem.
Before the war, he wrote a letter to Queen Victoria. He was frank in demanding an end to the barbarian's (the British) drug dealing. He wrote, "All those people in China who sell opium or smoke opium should receive the death penalty. We trace the crime of those barbarians who through the years have been selling opium, then the deep harm they have wrought and the great profit they have usurped should fundamentally justify their execution according to law. We take into to consideration, however, the fact that the various barbarians have still known how to repent their crimes and return to their allegiance to us by taking the 20,183 chests of opium from their storeships and petitioning us, through their consular officer [superintendent of trade], Elliot, to receive it. It has been entirely destroyed and this has been faithfully reported to the Throne in several memorials by this commissioner and his colleagues."
It is unknown if the Queen ever read the letter. As mentioned earlier, the resulting war ended Lin Zexu's attempt to put a stop to opium abuse in China. As western nations now themselves are attempting to fight illegal drugs to varying degrees of success, it is interesting to look back and see how a western power created and maintained an illicit drug program in China in the 19th century. Despite the war lose, it is easy to admire Lin Zexu and the bluntess of his letter to Queen Victoria.

Hello Miland, I liked this story about Queen Victoria - I posted one myself about her in my blog during this month - it was her jubilee in 1897 (as I am sure you know). If your historical curiosity includes an interest in what she ate, I detailed two meals in one day during her jubilee celebrations. They are at

Your link has an extra http in it...I had to delete it then I could see the letter.

Thanks! I have fixed this.

China was frail in the Qing Dynasty indeed but Lin Zexu was just a scapegoat for the lost of war. In fact he was one of the few pioneers that recognized how powerful the western world were and tried to wake up his countrymen. Even on the way of exile, he wrote to a friend encouraging him to publish a mapbook introducing world geography and politics of various countris about which all chinese almost knew nothing. Everybody is restrained by his era and envirement. Lin failed but he did is a hero.
BTW: some translation of Lin's letter is cramp and inaccurate especially the red tape and bureaucratic words.
I'm interested in history and have a few posts on my blog, but unfortunatlly they are in chinese

Very nice blog.

Loyola Greyhounds vs. Duke Blue Devils
Sunday, March 9, 2014 | 6:00 p.m.
Baltimore, Md. | Ridley Athletic Complex | CBS Sports Network
Quick Hits About The 'Hounds
Loyola University Maryland returns to Ridley Athletic Complex to host a nationally televised game on Sunday, March 9, at 6 p.m., against Duke University.
The game features the last two NCAA Champions (Loyola 2012, Duke 2013).
The Greyhounds are fourth nationally in goals per game, averaging 15.25, and they are also fourth in scoring margin with a +7.0 mark in their five games.
Nikko Pontrello moved up to fifth in the nation in goals per game (3.75) after scoring four last Saturday at Lehigh.
Loyola has won its first two Patriot League games – at Holy Cross and Lehigh – by a combined score of 30-11.
Three Loyola players – Nikko Pontrello (offensive), Pat Laconi (defensive), and Jack Runkel (goalkeeper) – swept the Patriot League weekly awards on Monday following the win at Lehigh.
Loyola had used a 67-39 advantage in ground balls the past two Saturdays in wins over Holy Cross and Lehigh. Its 23-groundball advantage was the largest the Greyhounds have posted in Charley Toomey's nine years as head coach, eclipsing a margin of 20 in 2008 against St. John's.
Last Time Out
The Greyhounds moved to 2-0 in the Patriot League with a 14-7 victory over then-No. 14 Lehigh in Bethlehem, Pa., on Saturday, March 1.
Kevin Ryan scored a career-high five goals, and Nikko Pontrello added four goals and an assist, in the win. Brian Schultz and Pat Laconi added one each.
Justin Ward posted his fifth multi-assist in as many games this season with four against the Mountain Hawks, while Jeff Chase recorded the first of his career with three.
After Loyola took a 3-1 lead in the first quarter, Lehigh scored two in a row to tie the game at 3-3 heading into the second quarter. Pontrelllo, however, scored three unanswered, and Schultz added one before the end of the half, and the Greyhounds were up 7-3 going into halftime.
Lehigh opened the second-half scoring with a goal at 11:39, but Laconi, Ryan (twice) and Matt Sawyer scored in the third quarter to put Loyola up 10-4 heading into the final 15 minutes.
Jack Runkel posted a season-high 13 saves in goal for the Greyhounds, and Graham Savio won 15-of-24 at the face-off 'X', picking up six ground balls.
Turn On The Television
Sunday's game will be broadcast live, nationally on CBS Sports Network. Dave Ryan will call the play-by-play, and Evan Washburn will handle the analysis of the action.
The game is one of four that will feature the Greyhounds on the network. Home games against Bucknell University and Johns Hopkins University, as well as the Greyhounds contest at Georgetown University, will air on the channel.
In The Polls
Loyola moved up in the polls following its win last week over then-No. 14 Lehigh. The Greyhounds are now fifth in both the USILA Coaches' Poll and Warrior/Inside Lacrosse media polls, and they are fourth in the Lacrosse Magazine rankings.
Duke enters the game ranked third in the in the Warrior/Inside Lacrosse and Lacrosse Magazine versions and fourth in the coaches' poll.
Series History
Sunday will be the 27th meeting all-time between the Blue Devils and the Greyhounds, with Duke holding a 16-10 advantage in a series that dates back to 1946.
Including this year, the teams have played during the regular-season for 15-straight (since 2000). Twice during that span, 2008 and 2013, the teams have also met in NCAA Tournament action.
The Blue Devils won last year's regular-season meeting, 9-8, outscoring Loyola 5-3 in the fourth quarter. Josh Offit's goal with 12:26 left in regulation gave Duke its first lead since the second quarter, 6-5, but Sean O'Sullivan struck on an extra-man opportunity for Loyola, and the Greyhounds tied the game less than two minutes later. Offitt and Christian Walsh, however, scored back-to-back goals to put the Blue Devils in front for good.
The teams met again in the NCAA First Round, playing what would become to many the game of the year. Duke edged the Greyhounds, 12-11 in double-overtime. Case Mathias tied the game at 11-11 on a goal with 65 seconds left in regulation, and he scored the winner 2:20 into the second overtime.
Mathias led Duke with three goals, while Zach Herreweyers scored three for Loyola, and Justin Ward had five assists.
Duke had won five-straight over Loyola and eight of nine, before the Greyhounds defeated the Blue Devils, 13-8, on March 10, 2012, in Baltimore.
Games Of Runs
Loyola has used significant runs in all five of its games this season, and it has had four stretches of seven or more unanswered goals. In all the Greyhounds have nine runs of 3-0 or better. Here is a look at their four best scoring stretches:
|Time Covered
|Time Covered
|at Holy Cross
|at Virginia
Pontrello Putting Up Points
Nikko Pontrello had his fifth multi-goal game is as many contests to open the season on Saturday when he scored a pair four goals at Lehigh. The game came a week after he set a career-high with six goals at Holy Cross. The junior attacker scored twice in the opener against Virginia, and he then recorded three versus both Penn State and Towson. His final goal against the Nittany Lions came 19 seconds into overtime and lifted Loyola to a 12-11 win. In his career, Loyola is now 7-0 in games that he scored three or more goals.
Pontrello leads the Greyhounds with 19 goals and 24 points through four games. He has already eclipsed his goal total from last year when he finished his sophomore campaign with 16.
He leads the Patriot League and is fifth nationally in goals per game (3.8), while he is second and 11th in points per game (4.8).
Ryan Racks Up Goals
Kevin Ryan has tied his previous, or set new career-highs in each of the Greyhounds' last three games, bringing his season total to 11. The senior midfielder posted a pair of goals against Towson to match his previous best, and he then set a new high with three at Holy Cross.
Ryan broke that mark with a five-goal game at Lehigh last Saturday, scoring four in the second half to help push the Greyhounds to a 14-7 win. Loyola is 4-0 all-time when Ryan scored two or more goals.
Ward Playing The Role
Justin Ward has continued to be the quarterback of the Greyhounds' offense this year, passing out nine combined assists in the last two contests. He is fourth in the nation, and tops in the Patriot League, with 3.0 assists per game this year.
Ward is in his third year as a starter on attack for the Greyhound after earning USILA All-America Honorable Mention last year after finishing tops on the team in points (62) and assists (35) and second in goals (27). His 62 points ranked tied for fifth in school single-season Division I history, and his 35 assists check in at third on that list.
With four assists at Lehigh, Ward moved past into second place in Loyola's Division I history with 82. He is two assists back of Jim Blanding for first place. Ward is also 17th in school Division I history in total points with 125.
Midfield Scoring
Entering the 2014 season, Loyola was looking to replace five of its top seven offensive midfielders from a year ago, a group that included All-American Davis Butts, as well as first middies Chris Layne and Sean O'Sullivan. As a group, the five contributed 47 goals, 29 assists and 76 points, right at 25 percent of the Greyhounds total in each.
This year, Loyola's first and second midfield units have scored nearly 47 percent of the team's goals, a total of 35. Kevin Ryan has scored eight goals in the last two games and is second on the team with 11 total. Tyler Albrecht is third on the squad with eight goals, while Brian Sherlock has six goals and four assists.
Stopping Shots
After opening the season with a .214 save percentage in the opener at Virginia, Jack Runkel has played to a .662 mark, saving 45 out of 68 shots on goal he's faced. In the last three games against Towson, Holy Cross and Lehigh, Runkel made 33 saves and allowed just 12 goals (.733).
The senior goalkeeper, who earned 2012 NCAA Championships All-Tournament honors, has a goals against average of 7.62 this season and a cumulative saves percentage of .585 through five games.
In three years as a starter for the Greyhounds, Runkel has a 7.93 goals against average and .551 saves percentage. His record between the pipes is 31-6. He is tied with Penn State's Austin Kaut for second in wins among active goalkeepers. Runkel and Kaut trail Maryland's Niko Amato who has 39 victories. Both Kaut and Amato, however, are four-year starters, while Runkel did not start until early in his sophomore season.
Not Just Defensive Midfield
Short-stick defensive midfielder Pat Laconi was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week on March 3 after matching his career-high with two goals at Lehigh.
The senior, who is a team co-captain and Preseason All-American, also scored twice against Towson, and his four goals match his total from a year ago when he scored four times and assisted on six. Laconi also is second on the team with seven caused turnovers this season.
Schultz Stepping Up
In his first year as a starter on attack for the Greyhounds, senior Brian Schultz has parlayed his opportunity into a solid start to the season. Through five games, Schultz has scored nine goals, third most on the team, and six assisted, second behind team-leader Justin Ward.
Entering this season, Schultz had seen most of his playing time on extra-man opportunities for the Greyhounds. As a sophomore and junior, he posted a combined three goals and five assists.
Hot Hand
Steve Vaikness, Loyola's volunteer assistant coach lauded by many in the media as the top faceoff teacher in the nation, has pulled the right strings in the first five games with a faceoff group of Blake Burkhart, Brendan Donovan and Graham Savio.
In the Virginia game, Savio came in to win 11-of-18 restarts, and Donovan then provided wins in 4-of-7 during a critical stretch at Penn State. Burkhart shined against Towson, winning 10-of-14 as Loyola jumped out to a big lead. It was Savio again at Holy Cross, as the freshman won 14-of-18 draws.
Savio then took all of the faceoffs at Lehigh, winning a career-high 15-of-24.
As a unit, Loyola is winning 53.8 percent of faceoffs, up from last year's mark of 46.5.
Fletch, White And Blue
Senior defender Joe Fletcher was the long current collegiate player selected as part of one of 52 players who made up the United States Men's National Team training roster this fall, and the day before Loyola's season-opener, he found out he is one of 30 players who made the cut for the team that will compete at the 2014 World Cup in Denver.
Against Holy Cross, Fletcher set a career-high with eight ground balls, eclipsing his previous total of seven set on three different occasions. In a pair of games against Towson and the Crusaders, he had 11 ground balls and three caused turnovers. This season, the Preseason All-American is second on Loyola with 18 ground balls, and he leads the squad with 10 caused turnovers. His 55 career caused turnovers are third all-time at Loyola behind the 90 of P.T. Ricci and 88 of Scott Ratliff.
Tyler's Time
As a freshman in 2013, Tyler Albrecht saw limited action for the Greyhounds, mostly coming off the wings on faceoffs and occasional offensive midfield shifts. His role has changed dramatically in his second season, and the Canadian midfielder is making the most of it.
Albrecht is a starter on Loyola's first midfield with Matt Sawyer and Brian Sherlock, and he has three multi-goal games in five outings this year. Albrecht scored twice in the season-opener at Virginia, and he recorded hat tricks with three each against Penn State and Towson. He is third on the team with eight goals.
In addition to his offensive work, Albrecht has continued to be a two-way middie, playing on the wings for faceoffs and defensive shifts. He had five ground balls and two caused turnovers against Towson.
Tewaaraton Watch, Senior CLASS Award List Pair
Two of Loyola's senior co-captains were named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List when it was released last week. Joe Fletcher and Justin Ward were among the 50 players nationally to receive recognition.
They were also two of 20 players nationally to be named candidates for the Senior CLASS Award that seniors who have performed at a high level athletically and in the classroom and who have used their platforms as student-athletes to make positive impacts in the community.
Margin In Two
As Loyola outscored Towson and Holy Cross by a combined 28 goals, 36-8, it took a bit of time to find precedent for the last time the Greyhounds won back-to-back games by such a margin. The last time Loyola won two by 28 or more goals goes back to the Dave Cottle-coached 1996 team that beat Saint Joseph's, 26-6, on April 10 and C.W. Post, 17-5, on April 13. That combined margin of victory was 32 goals, 43-11.
The last time Loyola scored a combined 36 goals in consecutive games was 2007 when it tallied 19 against Fairfield on April 21 and 17 versus Hobart a week later. The last time the Greyhounds yielded eight or fewer in back-to-back outings was 2001 when they beat Radford, 18-5, on April 11, and Butler, 12-3, on April 14.
Patriot League Honors
Loyola players have earned seven Patriot League weekly awards over the last two weeks. Nikko Pontrello (Offensive) and Jack Runkel (Goalkeeper) won their second awards in as many weeks on Monday, March 3, while Pat Laconi (Defensive, March 3), Joe Fletcher (Defensive, February 24) and Brian Sherlock (Rookie, February 24) also were honored.
Romar Dennis won the initial Rookie of the Week Award this year after scoring twice in the season-opener at Virginia.
Up Next
The Greyhounds step back into Patriot League play on Saturday, March 15, when they host the U.S. Military Academy at Ridley Athletic Complex in a 1 p.m. game.

Mexican federal police arrested the father-in-law of alleged drug lord Joaquin Guzman on Tuesday in a northern border city without any shots fired, authorities said.
Ines Coronel Barreras, 45, was detained in Agua Prieta, across the border from Douglas, Arizona, along with a 25-year-old son and three other men, Interior Deputy Secretary Eduardo Sanchez said.
Coronel is the father of Guzman's third wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, who married the purported gang boss in 2007 in a mountainous town in Durango state, Sanchez said.
He said officers arrested Coronel and the others at a warehouse and seized four automatic rifles, a handgun and more than 550 pounds (250 kilograms) of marijuana.
Coronel was in charge of smuggling marijuana for the Sinaloa drug cartel across the Mexico-Arizona border, Sanchez said.
He said Mexican authorities began gathering intelligence on Coronel in January, the month when the U.S. Treasury Department levied financial sanctions against him.
The U.S. agency said at the time that Coronel "plays a key role" in the Sinaloa drug cartel led by Guzman, who is also known as "El Chapo."
Coronel's listing under the U.S. Kingpin Act bars U.S. citizens from having business transactions with him and allows authorities to freeze any assets he has in the United States.

Katherine Zieman, ND, LM
I have recently moved my practice from downtown Gresham to SE Stark Street which is much closer to highway I-84. I am now working with a wonderful group of bodyworkers including a DO who does craniosacral work, 2 massage therapists who do both traditional and Thai massage and all are experienced in working with both pregnant women and infants. I am also practicing with another Naturopathic doctor who like myself shares my passion for birth, pediatrics and family medicine. I am excited to work with families in my community and I feel that the East Multnomah County area is underserved in Midwifery and Natural Family Healthcare. I am a Naturopathic Family doctor as well as a midwife which means I can catch babies and then care for them and their families as they grow. In this way I can maintain my connection to the family and they have continuity in their care. In my experience I have watched many families grow even delivering a mother and her mother in the same year! Because of my naturopathic background I can use herbal medicine, homeopathy, and nutrition to treat most ailments in pregnancy, birth, and family health. Because I am also a physician, I can prescribe pharmaceutical medicines when needed without referring my clients to another practitioner. I have been delivering babies for 15 years now including waterbirths. I look forward to serving the families in Gresham and the surrounding areas, although I travel far and wide for births east down the gorge, south and east into Clackamas county, north into Washington, and west to the Portland area. I look forward to meeting all who are interested in natural healthcare and homebirths.

The row between Michael Gove and Theresa May over how best to tackle Islamist extremism in schools is typical of how tense things get between these two whenever the subject of Islamist extremism arises. Gove wants to wage intellectual war on Islamist extremism, taking on the argument wherever it raises its head. May, heavily influenced by the civil servant Charles Farr, who is very much part of her circle, thinks that a distinction has to be drawn between extremism and violent extremism.
But this problem would never have arisen if Number 10 had made the Prime Minister's writ run on this subject. Cameron in his 2011 Munich speech made clear that he wanted even non-violent extremism tackled:
'Now, you might say, as long as they're not hurting anyone, what is the problem with all this? Well, I'll tell you why. As evidence emerges about the backgrounds of those convicted of terrorist offences, it is clear that many of them were initially influenced by what some have called 'non-violent extremists', and they then took those radical beliefs to the next level by embracing violence. And I say this is an indictment of our approach to these issues in the past. And if we are to defeat this threat, I believe it is time to turn the page on the failed policies of the past. So first, instead of ignoring this extremist ideology, we - as governments and as societies - have got to confront it, in all its forms.'
But Downing Street has simply not followed through on this speech in a prolonged and committed way. First, Nick Clegg was allowed to give a speech distancing himself from it and suggesting Cameron was speaking only for the Tories which gave recalcitrant civil servants the excuse they needed not to implement this agenda. Second, Cameron has failed to make the Home Office adopt this approach. If he had, this row would not be happening today.

LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN CENTURY: 1969 Cheat Sheet
The latest volume of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen from Top Shelf hits stores this week with Century: 1969. We've got a huge interview with Moore about the book coming up, but we thought we'd help readers out first while we get it ready.
We're pleased to say that this is one of the most straightforward volumes of LOEG, but while the roles of the characters are clear in the story, they might go over the heads of many U.S. readers. Simply put, this story is immersed in British popular culture of the 1960s, to the point that Moore himself admitted in our interview that he couldn't identify all the little jokes Kevin O'Neill drew into the book!
What's more, many of the characters can't be found with a simple Google, due to the fact that many of them are still copyrighted, necessitating that their names be slightly changed for the book. So we did some research with the advance copy we got with the help of Moore annotator Jess Nevins. Nevins, whose work you may have also seen in the backup of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Incognito, is a great authority on this work, having annotated all the previous LOEG volumes. You can read his annotations – or purchase the excellent hard-copy compilations of them – on his website, www.enjolrasworld.com.
With Nevins' help, we powered through the references behind the major characters and settings in the book – and even helped identify a few he hadn't found yet. Here now is a "cheat sheet" for Century: 1969, which will help you appreciate many of the subtler jokes and themes of the book. Let's head back now to Swinging London at the end of the 1960s…
Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26: The street drug of choice in Swinging London, it was previously known as "Taduki" and smoked by Allan Quatermain in "Allan and the Sundered Veil," the text backup in the original LOEG series. Back then, it gave him visions of John Cater of Mars, the Time Machine, and Cthulhu. That's good stuff! Here, it's found its way to the general populace, and gives Mina Murray a very, very bad trip.
Baz Thomas: The murder of this decedent rock star sets the events of 1969 into motion. Baz was once younger and more innocent; he's a grown-up version of Basil Fotherington-Thomas, a British schoolboy in a popular series of 1950s children's books by Geoffrey Willans and the famous British cartoonist Ronald Searle.
Baz is a sex god and icon of millions in 1969, ironic since he's considered effeminate and wimpy by Nigel Molesworth, the narrator of the books. The key clue to his identity is when Baz mentions he once went to a school nicknamed "St. Custard's," the setting of the Molesworth books.
Kosmo Gallion: This mystic is key to carrying out the evil plan of Oliver Haddo, the villain of the last LOEG book. He was previously known for battling the Avengers…no, not those Avengers, but the British spies of the long-running TV series in the 1963episode "Warlock." Back then, the bowler-hat-wearing John Steed kept him from kidnapping rocket scientists; he apparently died, but his legacy might live on through…
Horace Spurgeon Felton: …this current enforcer of Haddo's legacy. He's based on Horace Spurgeon Fenton, star of a trilogy of semiautobiographical novels by Jack Trevor Story, who wrote the book that was the basis of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film The Trouble with Harry. Fenton has grown up to be a writer, and sadly, fallen in with Haddo's people; he's out to do some nasty business with the unwitting help of…
Terner: …Baz Thomas' band-mate in his group the Purple Orchestra, and a fan of Haddo's work who plans a tribute concert for Baz in Hyde Park. He's based on Turner, the character played by Mick Jagger in the 1970 film Performance, which is referenced by Vince Dakin (see below) and directly by Norton, the Prisoner of London in this book.
In Performance, Turner is a sexually-liberated rock star who's "lost his demon;" whatever could that mean? At Hyde Park, he performs a number that pays tribute to one of the Rolling Stones' best-known songs of the late 1960s. Hope you've guessed its name.
Captain Universe: Mina Murray has a flat in London from the time she spent with a superhero group earlier in the decade, as mentioned in The Black Dossier. Not to be confused with the identity-swapping Marvel Comics character, his space-hero was a fusion of the SF tropes of the 1950s with the classic Captain Marvel, able to access his power with the not-quite-a-catchphrase "GALAP!"
Significantly, he was created by Mick Anglo, who also created Marvelman/Miracleman, the character who helped launch Moore's career in Warrior in the 1980s. You can read more on him here.
The Vril: These strange, winged creatures perform sex shows in London's West End during several of the scenes with gangsters. They're actually from what's considered one of the first categorized works of science fiction, Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Vril, the Power of the Coming Race, which…oh, Moore. You dirty, dirty, boy.
The Vril are a subterranean race that caused quite a sensation when the book was first published, as some believed them to be real, with rumors of a "Vril Society" in the 1960s. For more information, check out this piece Nevins wrote about the book's 140th anniversary for io9 a few months ago.
Vince Dakin: This gangster who has the death of Basil Thomas investigated is based on Vic Dakin, a character played by Richard Burton in the 1971 British crime film Villain. Dakin is in turn based on Ronnie Kray, who with his brother Reggie, were two of the most notorious organized crime figures in London in the 1960s; both went up the river in, not coincidentally, 1969. You can read more about the Krays on this site.
Vince mentions some rival gangsters who are also based on the Krays, including Harry Flowers from the aforementioned Performance, Harry Starks from Jake Arnott's novel The Long Firm and the Piranha Brothers, a parody of the Krays from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
(Video of this sketch if you want to embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZkWL-XvO0U)
Wolfe Lovejoy: Dakin's homosexual lover is two references in one. In Villain, Vic Dakin has a lover named Wolfe Lissner, played by a young Ian McShane of Deadwood,, Kings and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. In the 1980s, McShane rose to fame in the UK as the title character in Lovejoy, a long-running mystery series about a crime-solving antique dealer. Clearly, Alan Moore knows his Ian McShane.
Jack: This enforcer helps Dakin track down more information on Baz's murderer; he's the protagonist of a series of novels by Ted Lewis starting with 1970's Jack's Return Home. You might know him better from the 1971 film of that novel, or (ugh) its 2000 remake. Think Michael Caine. Or maybe Sylvester Stallone.
Jeremiah Cornelius: This black-and-white trans-dimensional spy shows up to chat with our heroes briefly; fans of SF and fantasy will know him from a series of novels by author Michael Moorcock, whose influence is all over this volume.
This particular version of Jerry has dark skin and white hair, indicating it's from his appearance in Moorcock's A Cure for Cancer. Jerry exemplifies the anything-goes spirit of the times, changing styles, genders and even dimensions as he sees fit. He's a pretty cool guy.
Jerry is a recurring character in Moorcock's works, appearing in four novels and in variations throughout the Multiverse of Moorcock's "Eternal Champion" books; he's also influenced a number of comic books, most notably Grant Morrison's The Invisibles and Bryan Talbot's The Adventures of Luther Arkwright. Matt Fraction's Casanova is also recommended for fans of Jerry's time-tripping-pan-sexual adventures.
Moorcock himself appears in a couple of different forms in 1969; the text backup from "Lewd Worlds" is written by "Jack Colvin," a pseudonym Moorcock used when editing New Worlds, a groundbreaking and controversial British SF magazine from the 1960s.
Max Foster: Not seen on-panel, he's mentioned as the current US president who's got everyone over 30 in internment camps. That's a reference to Max Frost, the character played by Christopher Jones in the 1968 cult classic Wild in the Streets, who indeed forces the older generation to chill out and take LSD. Times are changing for the League, man.
Tom: This teacher at a small university helps Mina out during her bad trip at Terner's concert. This one is too good to spoil, but pay careful attention to the clue he gives about his name, and where he goes at the end. He might well be the best-known character in 1969, and that's all we're saying.

Just you average Harry Potter freak. I've read all of the books a very unnatural amount of times, and have all the movie lines memorized. I'm currently counting down days until Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban comes out. Anyway, I love writing fan fics, so look out for my stories!
Love from,
