http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...men-last-stand"This movie's gonna be not only quite epic, 'Days of Future Past,' but it also takes place in completely different times than the 'X Men' movies have taken place," he said. "There'll be new technology, new things we haven't seen before in 'X-Men' films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn't be done yet, so it's not so much sequel. It's more of its own kinda thing."
Jackman, Paquin, Page, and Ashmore are all returning as well. Singer has been sending mixed signals too about how much he's going to keep to the continuity of the first three films. He's said he won't ignore the events of X3, but that he will be in a position to "repair" a few things.There are science fiction aspects of the movie, and then there�s some retro science fiction that the X-Men films haven�t had quite yet. So we�re exploring that, which will be fun. And there�s an attitude [difference]. We discover our characters, particularly the younger characters, at a different place in their lives. Every character you discover in this movie is in a completely different place than you�ve ever seen, emotionally, and it's about them moving through that.
Just the fact that he's said we're going to see new things and technologies that we haven't seen in X-men movies before, though, has me extremely excited.

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Salty Dawg
Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon
I am a friend of Les Johnson and I can provide some news. The book has been delivered to the publisher with a few minor updates that need completion. Les has a second hip replacement last week so he is home recuperating. I can tell you that we will all be very happy when this book hits the shelves. Lots of new patterns and more surprises then you can imagine.
Best regards, Steve Rohrbach
Hi, Les,
I emailed for a form. Looking forward to the new, revised and expanded version of _Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon_. My patterns will not be original, for the most part, but were not included in the first version of FFPS.
I hope your publisher is considering bringing this volume out in hardback.
One more question: have you contaced Hank Pennington of the Alaska Flyfishers? Hank is an innovative tyer and has developed dozens of successful Coho patterns.
Not sure the update has occurred, the 1985 edition is still available I see (which I already own).
Les? it would be good to hear from you!
|Anyone have an idea when the book will be available or if preorders are possible?
|Les, I sent you a PM, but I see there is an e-amil address as well.
|Grampa Spey
I have a question. I will be in the Brookings area soon.
What flies would you recommend for the King Salmon at the mouth of the Winchuck and Chetco?
What flies would you recommend for the first half mile upstream for both rivers?
Then for the Rogue, what flies for Kings and Silvers in the estuary?
Then what flies up stream and any techniques re fishing with them?
Thanks and good luck with your new book!
Then what
|being a drysider in washington i only fish salt about 4 days a year. i will have nothing to submit but i will buy a copy of your book in a heartbeat. love tying new patterns then if they dont work i dont care if they get hung up but they never do, why is that? a real catcher gets hung all the time, why is that? i love fly books. mike
From my minimal but pretty productive week of fishing around the shallows of Chatham, it really seems to me that there are spots in Puget Sound very much like that stretch of Cape Cod. We have a lot of flats, shallow bays and literally miles of open beachs where the resident coho salmon and cutthroat cruise. We will have to show you more of these places next time you are out this way. Our popular chum salmon fishery takes place on Puget Sound flats where we are wading less than knee-deep.
There are similarities in methods as well. When I was there, a huge hatch of sand lance occurred just outside of the Chatham boat harbor. I had brought my own flies and had a dozen or so tiny sand lance imitations on hand. The stripers had been a bit picky but when I saw the little hatchlings and tied on an imitation of the right size I connected with a nice striper right away. Later in the day Tom Rosenbauer hung into our largest striped bass of the week, a 30-plus incher that came up on top to hit a yellow Gartside Gurgler, a surface fly that makes about the same subdued commotion as Leland's Beach Popper.
Another time Capt. Biski gave us each a chartruese and white Clouser Minnow which he said was, "America's most popular fly." On my last day I left the remainder of my west coast sand lance patterns with Biski. Later I commissioned Tom Rosenbauer to write up an article on the fishery for Flyfishing & Tying Journal, the magazine I was editor of at the time.
Good Fishing,
I believe you are right - the ingenuity of a select team of pacific northwest flyfisher most likely preceded the wave of flyfishermen on the striper coast for a number of reasons. First, the cutt - a salter trout, just a perfect quarry for a flyrod. Then the sound, a giant inland sea accomodating to the fly angler with seasonal surges of big ocean-fed salmon of 5 species. Why the stripping basket is said to have originated in the PNW as well.
The rate of adoption in the northeast has nevertheless exceeded that of the PNW probably due to the behavior of coho and chinook salmon during the migratory push, when a deep vee with downriggers skimming 60ft over 300 or more feet of water is going to do the deed all day for the weekend warrior.
Another factor that might have aided the rate of adoption here is the shore fishing. Stripers love to frequent the shoreline, where many salmon roam currents with no regard to the bottom structure.
In any case, I don't think that the legacy of striper fly tying is necessarily better than the saltwater flies legacy for the PNW, it's just that there are more percentages are at play.
Thanks for this opportunity Les!
Send for those submission forms
Glad to see all of these responses. BE SURE TO SEND TO MY e-MAIL ADDRESS FOR A FORM IF YOU PLAN TO SUBMIT A FLY:
Sparky, if you want the butorac Flashy Lady in the new edition of Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon, by all means tie it up and submit it. That will save me from tying it. Joe was a dear and long-time friend of mine and was featured in "Tube Flies" the book I co-authored with Mark Mandell. Send it in a couple of colors.
The first edition of Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon actually sold a few thousand copies along the northeast coast to saltwater striped bass fishermen since it came out before Lou Tabory's saltwater books. They used the techniques, flies and equipment for striped bass fishing.
When it comes to saltwater fly fishing, it was happening in Washington and British Columbia back in the 1930s, from boats and beaches. I have recently researched the history of fly fishing in Washington and British Columbia extensively. From what I've discovered, Washington fly fishers Letcher Lambuth, Roy Patrick, Wesley Drain, Enos Bradner, Dawn Holbrook, Eddie Bauer and others of the time may have been the most cutting edge group of fly fishers anywhere, bar none. They were incredibly talented and inquisitive but extremely unassuming individuals a way out on the west coast where people didn't know of the alchemy they were brewing in salt water flies, fly line design and saltwater fishing techniques. This history will be expanded considerably in the new edition of Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon.
I do not demean the landmark contributions of east coast fly fishers, because the east coast certainly has its own list of great ones. I am probably a little biased because I live here. However , I did spend a week fishing out of Chatham on Cape Cod in 1998 for stripers with Tom rosenbauer of Orvis and a marvelous guide named Tony Biske(sp). We had a wonderful time catching stripers in a great area. I'm planning on going back one day.
I didn't begin casting flies for salmon and cutthroat in the salt until I returned from the Marine Corps in 1955. I was coached by a man named Jay Foote, owner of Foote's Sporting Goods in Federal Way. At the time Jay had been casting flies to coho near Redondo since 1937.
Good Fishing,
you mean to tell me there are other flies in existence that people use for feeding salmon besides chartreuse/white clousers
it'll be interesting to see the fly plates in the new book. i agree with juro that the east coast striped bass flies are pushing the envelope more than west coast flies(unlike steelhead/atlantic salmon flies). i don't know if that will change with the huge difference in numbers of fishermen (plus shore access to the best fishing is imo not available on the west coast). being a fly thief, i welcome the chance to view patterns i otherwise wouldn't.
Les -
It's great to hear you are putting this book together. I will definitely submit some patterns for your consideration and appreciate the opportunity.
I was living in the great northwest when you were at Swallows Nest and know you helped so many people including myself - it's a chance for us to say "thanks" not to mention the excitement of getting a fly considered.
I remember when I was the only guy at Neah Bay with a flyrod in the 80's, I mean the entire town. I'm sure Les and others were there but I don't think the same day. It's grown a lot yet remains the most under-rated, under-exploited and most exciting fishery I can think of anywhere.
My saltchuck tying was initially inspired by striped bass fishing then adapted to coho, then more recently the coho patterns were re-adapted to stripers again upon moving. There is a huge parrallel in terms of imitations, fly sizes and colors, etc. Although hook position is different, atlantic gamefish patterns provide a big source of experimental possiblities since it's historically been a generally older and broader practice. But of course this is about to change!
Doublespey I've seen your creativity at the vise and you should definitely submit as well! How else will I get the inside skinny on tying them too.
I hope everyone who has a good pattern in their pocket submits to this cause, we really need more literature on this topic. Saltchuck flyfishing in the pacific northwest is perhaps the least practiced yet one of the absolute most exciting and productive. I believe a book like this will be much to get more stewards of the shoreline voting for protection of access, cleanliness, and welfare of salmonids en route as well as in the rivers.
Great stuff Les!
So many duplicates
I hope Juro sends in a few of his Tried and True. He introduced me to Seiku's Coho many moons ago and had some fabulous patterns that worked very well, both cast and trolled.
And I know you'll have some of those funny looking floating things with the big heads in there too .
I'd submit some of my tube flies, but most of them were inspired by patterns I saw in your Tube Fly book.
Oh well - gotta keep looking!
|I dont have any of my own flies to offer up but I would hope that my late great freind Joe Butorac's Flashy Lady ends up in there.
Flies for new Pacific Salmon Book
It is my hope that I will receive requests from readers of this BB to submit flies for our new Pacific salmon book. Please send all requests for fly submission forms to me at: email@example.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Good Fishing,
Les Johnson

UK Gov't Prepares Ambitious Censorship Plan to Restrict Porn Access
Jason Mick
October 11, 2011 5:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"Would someone please think of the children!" UK officials argue
These days free adult entertainment is
just a click away
for most with internet access in the U.S. and Europe. Some argue that sexual liberation is a sign that society has at last overcome its shame over what is an essential biological function. Others argue it's a sign of moral degradation and a terrible corrupter of youth.
I. Britain Prepares to Disrobe Anit-Porn Plot
British Prime Minister David Cameron, leader of the UK's Conservative Party, is reportedly siding with those who argue that porn is a "nasty, bad, naughty" social apparatus. The UK-based
, the second most read English-language online newspaper in the world, is
that PM Cameron will announce plans to
whack unfettered access to porn off the net
The politican-cum-activist borrows his anti-porn agenda from a report by UK-based nonprofit
Mothers' Union
. As one might imagine this "moral conservative" group is upset about sexualization of society and hopes to return the nation to a more platonic, repressed era.
Elements of its proposed plan, which PM Cameron plans to put, at least partially, into law includes:
Age restrictions on music videos (akin to ESRB ratings on video games).
Bans or quotas on teen-aimed clothing with "sexually suggestive" messages.
A new website -- Parentport (to be launched at
) -- which allows parents to directly complain about internet content. Suggestions will be forwarded to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority, The BBC Trust, Ofcom, the Press Complaints Commission, British Board of Film Classification, and other censorship affiliated organization, which may opt to censor the internet comment, denying UK citizens access to it.
A mandatory opt in for adults to view pornographic content.
II. Replacing Parenting With Gov't Censorship
The mandatory opt-in is a particularly thorny issue. BT (
), Sky Broadband, TalkTalk (
) and Virgin Media, Inc. (
) -- some of the UK's largest ISPs -- have reportedly agreed to participate in such a scheme. It is unclear whether existing subscribers would be required to opt in, or merely new ones.
The plot is the culmination of years of lobbying by close colleague of PM Cameron, Conservative Member of Parliament Claire Perry. Ms. Perry, a mother of three, argues that parents should not have to put the effort in to police their childrens' internet use. Rather she feels that the government should thrust itself into the role of playing parent. She argues that censorship has
benefited many other aspects of British society
, and censoring internet porn fills an important hole in the nation's comprehensive censorship legislation.
Conservative Party MP Claire Perry [Source: BBC News]
, "As a mother with three children I know how difficult it is to keep children from seeing inappropriate material on the internet. We already successfully regulate British TV channels, cinema screens, High Street hoardings and newsagent shelves to stop children seeing inappropriate images and mobile phone companies are able to restrict access to adult material so why should the internet be any different?"
III. America Next?
The idea of America's former colonial master censoring the internet may seem offensive to many Americans, but some in America are making similar arguments in favor of beating back the sexually liberated nature of modern society.
Prominent Republican "Tea Party" politician Christine O'Donnell has long suggested that masturbation is a sin,
, "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."
Prominent Republican "Tea Party" politician Christine O'Donnell has argued for banning sex ed in the U.S. [Source: Getty Images]
She supports banning sexual education in schools, suggesting it leads to children being sexually abused. She comments, "[Sex ed] breaks down the natural modesty that exists within children to protect them. Then suddenly talking to that stranger with candy on the playground is not so creepy."
And anti-pornography efforts have some support from corporate America. Late Apple, Inc. (
) executive Steve Jobs bragged of his crusade to
offer i-device owners "freedom from porn"
Clearly many fundamentalist U.S. Christian "moral conservatives", like their old world peers, feel that pornography is sinful. And many of these individuals have already effectively argued that the U.S. should be a theocracy, governed by Christian laws and politicians. Thus it might not be surprising to see moral conservatives in the States in the next few years follow in step with the Old World's anti-pornography crusade.
"We shipped it on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we rested." -- Steve Jobs on the iPad launch

Man who killed father sues Shawano County
Claims deputies mishandled call for help
A man institutionalized for killing his father is suing the Shawano County Sheriff's Department, claiming deputies mishandled his call for help which resulted in the homicide.
Joshua Johnson was found not guilty by reason of mental illness in the death of his father, Donald, in February 2012. Johnson is confined to a state psychiatric facility.
His lawsuit says he called 911 to report his father had sexually assaulted him, but that deputies failed to meet with him outside the presence of his father. Johnson called 911 again to say he had killed his father.
WLUK-TV says Johnson's mother has filed a companion lawsuit, making the same claims. While Johnson's litigation does not seek specific damages, Johnson's mother, Lori Boris, seeks $250,000 in damages.
Corporation Counsel Tony Kordus says Shawano County has no liability.

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Fished yesterday.....one word to the wise...FOG! We followed other boats out to the whistler/red can, and caught several rockfish on top before the coho arrived, and then it was non-stop action for several hours before we decided that declining gas reserves, growing wind/swell size, and a pod of coho that were driftting farther and farther out, were enough to persuade us to return to port. All in all a fantastic first trip out there. All fish except one rockfish were caught in the top 6 inches of water!.
|NZ Trout Bum
Good news Chris. Follow up to Moonlight's report as follows. Weather conditions did not improve and the wind couldn't figure out which way to blow. Fish were moving all over the place but I guess that is just the coho way. A hot area will hold almost nothing the next day and a blank area will be hot. Got to look around alot. Tatoosh to the whistle bouy was the most consistant. We never did get on big concentrations of fish we could stay on. Best days were about 15 per rod but average was more like 6-8. Size is still great with several fish in the 12 pound range. Did find some topwater action here and there.
Highlight of the trip was a grey whale that put on the best show I have ever seen. We were in Skagway bay hiding from the wind and saw him/her roll about a fly line away on our port. Then it dove and showed flukes. That was cool and we thought that was the end of it. A minute later the water bulged no more than two fly lines directly back of the boat and he/she came all the way out of the water in a breach directly toward the back of the boat. Came down with a huge crash and the wave almost got to our transom. A memory burned into my mind forever. Wow.
Will be back on station tomorrow until Sunday. See you all then. Warren
the season at neah bay will remain open. a few fish were found to keep us fishing (thank god).
thanks to wdfw and other ports for helping keep neah bay open during this bizarre year where almost no other ports have been seeing catch rates like neah bay.
Neah Bay Coho Quota ...............
Talked with one of the fish checkers this morning and she told me that the Coho Quota for Neah Bay was 75% used up last Weds. In so much as people were easily catching there limits everyday since then it is all but certain to be filled up. There will be a meeting on Tuesday to try and figure out some type of trade in the quota to keep the fishery open.
Having spent the last several decades driving around the North Pacific in search of Cohos I can attest to the fact that there are, "a whole lot of em around Neah Bay". Interesting how there are seemingly so many more unmarked fish than hatchery fish kind of makes me wonder why they keep the hatcheries going but then if they didn't have the hatcheries where would all those politicians get there photo ops when its time to cement the "Sportsmen for Joe Weasel" vote.
Had a very enjoyable time the last five days camped out at the Cape RV & campground with Topwater and NZ Trout Bum. Fishing was very plesant on several of the days a couple were marginal and one day just plain "Sucked".
A note of caution to those who might want to drink a little alcohol while in camp. It is forbidden on the reservation to have alcohol and the local cops were patroling the campgrounds for violators. The good news is on friday night we drank a bottle of Glenlivet without getting caught!!!!! However on Saturday when we found out how lucky we were we got to pour out all the beer and wine that was open at our outside picnic table. The old guy with the white goatee and the funny hat told the cops that we only had those few bottles and had no more in our coolers or trailers. I am always amazed at the professional approach that some of us have for obfuscation of the spoken word. Good job Harry!
The Ocean is alive if you have been thinking about giving it a try stop thinking and just do it. If the "Harvest " of Coho's is curtailed at Neah Bay that will not effect the other areas and the number of boats I saw fishing out of Seiku and Slip Point gave me the impression that there is a bunch of fish around there too.

Pse 9: Removing Styles

Since I changed from PSP to PSE9, I've bought quite a few new styles. However they seem to slow down PSE9 opening and changing the selection of sytles and effects when the software is in use. Has anyone else had this experience? I've thought of uninstalling some of the styles that came with the product. I'd like to keep them just in case I want to use them in the future. Has anyone done this before?
Posted 20 October 2012 - 07:30 PM
Great question. Both of the versions I have used (9 and 10) have slowed down when I installed a lot of styles and actions. I would like to take some of the product styles out too. Don't know if you can or not, but somebody will know.
Posted 20 October 2012 - 07:48 PM
I believe in PSE you can go to Edit> Preset Manager>. Set the box at the top to Styles. Then you should see a little square showing each style. Click on the one you want to delete, then hit the delete button. Then Control A, hit the save button, then scroll to where the styles are saved "within PSE". I don't remember where that is right now, I'll have to google it. If you don't save it, then they'll pop back in next time you open it.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 03:20 AM
Way back.... I used PSE6 and had many many styles installed and I am sure it never slowed the software down. I did have them installed so I did not have to do "show all" when I went to use them.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 10:19 AM
When I go to Edit/Preset Manager the only choices I get are brushes, swatches, gradients, and patterns. Styles is not a choice.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 10:19 AM
Oh sorry, I have PSE 10.
Posted 22 October 2012 - 06:49 AM
Everytime I try to delete styles, I make such a mess of it. Now I just live with them. Sorry no help here.
Posted 26 October 2012 - 05:29 PM
Thanks everyone. I'm thinking of just moving the files of the styles I don't think I'll use much. I'm guessing that I can reinstall them later if I want them. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how I go.

As promised in the last post, we are going to wrap up this topic with a few FAQs that I have received relating to recruiting and building the program. It is fair to say that the last few blog posts have hardly scratched the surface of this subject and that working toward building and maintaining a great Scouting program is on going and lots of work. The key is that the Scouts own the process and have great support from all of the adults of the unit. That would include the Committee, Scoutmaster and Assistants, and parents.
So here you go.
Question #1.
What if your unit is just starting out and the Scouts are not mature enough or old enough to take on this level of planning?
Good question, the simple answer is this, train them. Be a mentor through the process. Make lots of suggestions but allow the final decisions to be theirs. Newer Scouts may not be able to articulate what they want and certainly may not have the planning experience of older Scouts, but they do know what they want out of Scouting. They want adventure, they are looking for a challenge, and even though they won't admit it, they are looking to learn something. So training the young Patrol Leaders Council is critical.
Question #2.
What do I do about my unit that wants to do the same old stuff year after year?
This may not be all the problem you see it as. Remember, this is their program. If they are happy doing the "same old stuff" and that is what they are planning, then let them do it.
OK… you really didn't think I would let that one that easy now did you? Ask yourself this. Are the Scouts having fun? Is the unit losing membership? Is the unit gaining new members? What are your older Scouts doing?
The first few questions are the easy ones, the last one is important. If your older Scouts are engaged, having fun and sticking around, then what they are doing is what they want to do. No matter how boring or unexciting that is to you. On the other hand, if they are not engaged, not having fun, and not sticking around, then you have a problem and I would suggest a few things.
First. Get a copy of the Troop Program Resource Books. Introduce it to your Patrol Leaders Council and allow them to use it in planning.
Second. Show up at the next planning session with a number of things (places, activities etc) that you think they would be interested in. Give them to the Senior Patrol Leader and say something like, hey check out this stuff I found, it may in neat to see or do. Chances are they may work it into the plan.
Finally. Get some help from folks in your area. A local climbing outfitter, the local Scuba shop, a rancher near by that may allow the Scouts to come and ride horses or camp on his land. Bring in guests to the meetings that talk about adventure and Scouting. Use these resources to light a fire in the Scouts you have. When they see the endless possibilities that Scouting offers, they may just jump on it and work it all into their plan.
Question #3.
How do you work advancement into the plan?
Advancement is one of the eight methods to achieve the aims of Scouting. Using the Troop Program Resource books is a great help because it outlines throughout each activity what advancement opportunities are available in the out come of each plan. That is a great place to start.
I am not a big fan of using meeting time to work on merit badges or rank, but setting some time aside each week is a good idea.
When it comes to the planning part though, here is the suggestion that I make to the PLC. Make it one of the Troops goals in the plan. Then come up with a plan, hopefully at the Patrol level to complete the goal. For example; The goal is that everyone in the Patrol earns at least one rank or merit badge this year.
Don't get so hung up on advancement that you forget about a great program. Advancement comes when the Scouts are engaged and having fun. Participation is what you need to look for. When they are participating, they will advance.
Ok that will do it for this post. Thanks for the questions that were emailed to me regarding this subject.
You can email me and ask questions as much as you like. Send your email to: email@example.com
Have a Great Scouting Day!

We are constantly in awe here of the intricate, beautifully hand-crafted work the employees in our printing and stationery factories do day after day. Many of them have been here for decades painting borders by hand, engraving names and images with enviable patience and making sure each and every detail is absolutely perfect before our customers open that Dalton Blue box.
With that in mind, here is a collection of images — taken by our wonderful resident photographer, Trisha — of some of the hands that make such fine craftsmanship possible every day.

Variety says George Lucas addressed 4,000 computer pros at the annual Siggraph computer graphics conference and tradeshow in Los Angeles on Monday. He confirmed that Lucasfilm is already at work on the two "Star Wars" TV series.
The first is a 3-D animated "Clone Wars" series that will be made at Lucas Animation's Singapore facility. He said he'll start scouring Asia for talent and try to build up 3-D animation there. "It's also a way for me to get my foot into anime, which I like," Lucas said.
For the live-action series, he said, "we're going do something that would normally cost ($20 million-$30 million) and try to do it for $1 million," citing The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles as one show where he was able to stretch his production budget.
He said he'll shoot the series on a Sony digital camera system that anyone can buy at an electronics store.

[February 18, 2013]
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is right to battle bad review of the Model S, experts say
Feb 16, 2013 (San Jose Mercury News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- It's often a bad idea to pick a fight with big media. But experts say Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose Palo Alto-based electric car startup is at a critical crossroads, was right to come out swinging against a negative New York Times review of the Model S sedan.
Times writer John Broder, in a review published Sunday, wrote about a troubled trip from Washington, D.C., to Connecticut that ended with the Model S he was driving running out of power and being carted away on a flatbed truck. The article stood in stark contrast to numerous glowing reviews the vehicle had garnered from other writers. The Model S is Motor Trend magazine's 2013 Car of the Year.
While analysts and others say Musk's blistering rebuttal -- in a Twitter post, he accused Broder of writing a "fake" review -- may have been too aggressive, they nonetheless believe it was a smart marketing maneuver. Tesla, which rolled out its Model S sedan last summer, is working to build its brand and consumer loyalty for the vehicle, which ranges in price from $52,400 to $105,400.
"He is out there trying to sell cars, and he has buyers who have made reservations who could pull out," said Ben Kallo, a Robert W. Baird analyst who covers Tesla. "His coming out and fighting is the right move." Musk, citing data collected from the car's computer, said the vehicle's electric battery did not run out of juice. He said data also contradicted Broder's statement that he set the cruise control at 54 mph but often drove slower and lowered the heat to save energy. Musk said the car's cruise control was never set to 54 and the average cabin temperature was 72 degrees. He did not address Broder's claim that the car's battery lost "the electrical equivalent of more than two-thirds of the fuel" in the tank when he left it parked overnight. Broder has denied Musk's charge that he "consciously set out to sabotage the test." Next week, Tesla will release fourth-quarter financial results, which should give an indication of how well the car is selling. Kallo believes the company will report 16,000 new reservations and that it is on track to make 20,000 Model S models at its Fremont assembly line in 2013.
The bad review from one of the nation's most prestigious news organizations, though, threatened to cast a shadow over the earnings call with analysts.
"Investors will certainly be watching to see if the NYT article disrupted Model S reservation activity," Pacific Crest Securities analyst Ben Schuman said in an email.
Because Tesla is just beginning to ramp up production of the Model S, it was critical that Musk personally respond to The New York Times review, said Steven Addis, chief executive of Addis Creson, a brand strategy and design firm in Berkeley who owns a Model S.
"Making this a war with The New York Times isn't the most diplomatic way to go about it," he said. "But it shows passion. It shows confidence in his product." Musk's reputation as a visionary leader in the mold of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs -- he is also co-founder of space vehicle maker SpaceX and PayPal -- should help to stem some of the fallout from the review, Kallo said.
"This is his baby," he said of the Model S. "You are starting to see the cars on the road. The last thing you want is this negative press to destroy the moment or to reduce that momentum." Musk's kerfuffle with the Times may not be over. The news organization's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, is expected to weigh in with an article soon.
Jesse Toprak, an analyst with automobile research and pricing website Truecar.com, said Musk's fight with the Times could even boost Model S sales by bringing the car to the attention of potential buyers.
Those who would use the car for urban driving -- and cover far fewer miles a day than Broder did on his long-distance trip -- would find "all of the negatives mentioned in the article irrelevant," he said.
Tesla may be feeling some vindication after CNN reporter Peter Valdes-Dapena, who covers the automotive industry, reported Friday that he retraced Broder's route this week with no problems. "As I drove into Connecticut, I realized something amazing. Not only did I have enough battery range left, I had plenty," he wrote.
CNN's test drive took place during warmer weather conditions, which could have improved the battery's performance.
The lesson for consumers is to not rely on a single review of a car, particularly an electric one, said John O'Dell, a senior editor at auto information site Edmunds.com. Issues such as battery range depend on road conditions, weather, traffic, topography and a reviewer's driving style, he said.
"You need to look at dozens of reviews from reputable sources," O'Dell said.
He thinks the Musk-New York Times controversy will neither help nor hinder Tesla much.
"People who don't like electric vehicles will point to this as more justification for not liking electric vehicles," O'Dell said. "People who like electric vehicles a lot will say it's another example of mainstream media having a bias against electric vehicles." Contact John Boudreau at 408-278-3496.

I went again to the set-up at the Westminster Mall yesterday, and this time I entered the trivia contest. There were only three other people in it - a guy with long hair, a guy with no hair, and a little kid. We had to stand about 15 feet away from him, and once he read the question, we would walk up to him and tell him our answer.
First question - what species is Chewbacca? Everyone but the little kid knew it was Wookiee. He got the 2004 Hoth Luke though, he said before that he wanted it.
Second question - what creatures do the Rebels ride on Hoth? Easy, tauntauns.
Third question - whose arm is lying on the floor of the cantina after Ben Kenobi cuts it off? This was also easy, Ponda Baba. Long-hair guy said Dr. Evazan, and bald guy didn't say anything. So I won! I got to pick out a figure from the selection first, so I got another 2003 Snowtrooper for dioramas. Then he decided to ask me more questions, just to see how far I could go.
Next - in what scene of the original trilogy could a home ice cream maker be seen? Of course, in the Bespin escape scene, Willrow Hood is holding it!
What are the last words spoken on Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor? I didn't know, but it was "Too late!"
After that, I talked with him about SW and his collection. It was really fun, he was really nice. He's going to Park Meadows Mall soon, so anyone nearthere should go! At one contest he said there were sixty people!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Bloggers' Rights
This Week in Internet Censorship: Egyptian Twitter User Faces Trial While Argentina and Pakistan Ratchet Up Censorship
Egyptian activist faces trial for Tweet
In Egypt, an activist and blogger is facing trial for a Tweet. Asmaa Mahfouz, a prominent young activist, is facing trial by court martial for defaming the ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) by posting to Twitter:
If the judiciary doesn't give us our rights, nobody should be surprised if militant groups appear and conduct a series of assassinations because there is no law and there is no judiciary.
In Vietnam, being an outspoken blogger can land you in jail.
Pham Minh Hoang, a university professor with dual French and Vietnamese citizenship, was sentenced on August 10 to three years in prison and an additional three years under house arrest, for trying to "overthrow the government." Judge Vu Phi Long ruled that Hoang had "blackened the image of the country" and was guilty of "activities aimed at overthrowing the people's government."
The Nymwars rage on. Over the past several weeks Google has been engaged in a very public struggle with its users over its "real names" policy on Google+, prompting blog posts and editorials debating the pros and cons of allowing pseudonymous accounts on social networking sites. But there is one person for whom insisting on the use of real names on social networking sites is not enough. Unsurprisingly, that person is Facebook's Marketing Director, Randi Zuckerberg. Speaking last week on a panel discussion about social media hosted by Marie Claire magazine, Zuckerberg said,
EFF and five news organizations recently filed an amicus brief (pdf) urging an Indiana appeals court to block a subpoena seeking to expose the identity of an anonymous speaker who posted a comment on the Indianapolis Star's website. This is a case of first impression in Indiana.
The subpoena stems from an underlying lawsuit filed by the former head of Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, a non-profit whose mission is to teach children about business management and finance. Among other things, Jeffrey Miller alleges that Junior Achievement and two of its high-level officers defamed him by claiming that he misappropriated money from the organization.
In the wake of "Amina" hoax, in which the popular blog of a Syrian woman turned out to be a fictional work by an American man named Tom MacMaster, it has been all too easy to gloss over the real tragedies on the ground in Syria.
For years, the Syrian regime has censored the Internet pervasively, with heavy focus on political content, as well as social media. In 2010, the relatively unfettered mobile networks became subject to filtering as well, what had been an alternative means of access to an uncensored Internet. Circumvention tools have long been used within the country, and are often made accessible by cybercafe owners. But most tools lack protection against technological surveillance, and Tor--which provides anonymity as well as circumvention--has been blocked on some Syrian ISPs in recent months.

54.QB David Fales, San Jose St. 6'3" 220
http://standingosports.com/main/2013...b-david-fales/Here's how Fales stacks up right now in terms of what NFL teams will look at:
Arm Strength: Fales has adequate but not ideal arm strength to be an NFL Quarterback. He underthrows some deep receivers and some of his out routes are undercut for pass breakups because he just doesn't have a cannon. His arm reminds me a lot of Bengals Quarterback Andy Dalton or Texans QB Matt Schaub, both of whom are serviceable QBs but don't set the world on fire with their arm strength. In the NFL Fales may be able to strengthen his arm a bit, but it's highly unlikely he'll ever have a great arm. Grade: 7.75 out of 10
Accuracy: Fales' accuracy is his best attribute as a QB. He led the country in completion percentage in 2012 and throws accurately to his left and to his right. On short and intermediate routes almost all incompletions are due to arm strength deficiencies or drops, because Fales simply doesn't miss easy targets. His deep ball is pretty accurate as well. Grade: 9.25 out of 10
Vision/Decision Making: Fales is a fun QB to watch because he has a nice feel for the pocket and is a gunslinger despite his arm limitations. He has quick feet and is able to escape pressure, and isn't afraid to squeeze the ball into a tight window or take a shot downfield. His aggressiveness is a bit of a curse too, however, since it leads to some ill-advised throws and a few interceptions. While Fales' arm strength is reminiscent of Dalton or Schaub, those guys are more cautious passers. I liken Fales' gutsiness to Matthew Stafford or Phillip Rivers, guys who will take chances that lead to higher risk/reward plays. Grade: 8 out of 10.
Size: At 6'3" tall, Fales has good height to translate into an NFL QB, assuming of course that he is listed correctly at that measurement. NFL teams will probably ask him to add 5-10 pounds to bulk up and be more durable, but on the whole Fales has very little to worry about as far as his size his concerned for the next level. Grade: 8.25 out of 10.
Mobility/Speed: Fales isn't a running QB but he doesn have some wiggle in his step. His feet are always moving in the pocket and he is able to sidestep some pass rushers and prolong plays. He has Matt Ryan type Mobility where he isn't taking off and running with the ball often but he is also a tough QB to sack because of his quickness. Grade: 7.5 out of 10
Ball Security: Fales had 3 fumbles and 9 interceptions in 2012, a pretty solid number considering how often he drops back to pass. He needs to work on not patting the ball so much in the pocket with his hands, as it's bad for ball security and can prolong his quick release. Happy feet are good inside the pocket, but happy hands are nothing but trouble. As mentioned earlier Fales isn't afraid to take risks but he isn't a turnover machine either. Grade: 7.25 out of 10
Intangibles/Leadership: Fales will be red flagged by some NFL teams because he has been at 3 colleges in 5 years and that will make them question his commitment level. He also needs to prove himself to be a leader as a Senior this season for SJSU. Guys with similar arms with good intangibles (Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder) typically are drafted high whereas questionable intangibles will make it harder for NFL teams to overlook the arm limitations. Grade: TBD
Final Thoughts: Fales is a QB I can't wait to watch in 2013. On tape, he reminds me of a more aggressive Matt Schaub or a poor man's Matt Ryan. At this juncture I see him as a second or third round prospect at QB, and he's similar in grade to where Matt Barkley wound up before the 2013 draft.

head to toe CdG (with a splash of Margiela), obviously I wanted to mug this person for their outfit.
I'm just a sucker for drape and nude and full length skirts. call me predictable?
I'm not a bag person as you all probably know (have I ever done a bag post? there was just this close call with this Lanvin bag I passed up at Sims before I got into fashion and now I have broken up with bags out of humiliation and guilt.) but this is a pretty dope bag.

** Oct 3 2012: Update to my original post from back in December. - My family and I finally made it up north. I realize hunting season is upon us, but me, the dawg and my daughter are looking for some training opportunities. Anyone interested in training or willing to point me in the right direction?
Are the clubs still training this time of year? I don't bring much to the table other than a good arm, some bumpers, and the pup. Pretty new to the dog training world, but we have been fortunate enough to get a couple senior passes. Thanks in advance. -- Brian
Dec 2011 - I am in the Coast Guard, and just received word that the family and I will be moving to Newport, RI. I am being assigned to a ship. Anyway, curious as to what the HRC/AKC club situation is up there? We will probably live on base in Newport. If not, I'll be looking to live within a 30 minutes or so of the base. We are not moving until June or July, so we are just gathering info on the area at this point. Any information would be greatly appreciated....Places to live, clubs in the area, etc.
Merry Christmas!

Taking advantage of deadly mass shootings last year, Colorado lawmakers unveiled a package of bills Tuesday that would put owners and manufacturers of assault-style weapons on the chopping block. Democrats in Colorado, a state jolted by some of the fatal shootings, are seeking to make this group legally liable for any crime that involves a specific firearm.
While other states such as New York have pushed bans on military-style guns, Colorado would hold gun makers and sellers accountable for weapon violence if the bills become law. Owners of semi-automatic rifles would face strict liability for civil damages caused by their types of weapons, while state statutes that safeguard manufacturers and dealers from such liability would be abolished. Handguns, shotguns, and bolt-action rifles would be immune from the proposed law.
Specifically, one proposal would restrict the sale and ownership of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds; another proposal seeks to enact more stringent background checks on weapon purchases, including sales between private owners.
Republicans and gun-rights advocates say the new liability standards translate largely into an assault-weapons ban. "By holding the manufacturers liable, they effectively ban the sale," asserted Dudley Brown, the head of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. "We really don't care what happens in this building; how many Gucci-loafered lobbyists come up and talk to politicians. We are going to go into their districts and tell gun owners, 'This is what politicians are doing to your Second Amendment rights.'"
Brown argued that the bill would be equivalent to holding Corvette liable for accidents caused by speeding. Further, Republican Sen. Greg Brophy likened the bill to "holding Coors responsible for drunk driving."
"Retailers will be afraid to sell these weapons because they won't be able to purchase an insurance policy to cover their strict liability — that's the highest standard," Brophy explained. "So it effectively bans the sale of all semiautomatic rifles in the state of Colorado."
Other critics contend that Colorado's attack on assault weapons amounts to little more than an emotional response to the deadly mass shootings. But besides the constitutional violations regarding such bans, gun-control proponents omit the fact that assault weapons were tied to less than .012 percent of overall deaths in the United States in recent years.

Infinity P143 Primus 2-Way 4" Bookshelf/Satellite Speaker - Each (Black)
Model: P143BK UPC: 050667368289 Item: 149954
Questions? We're here to help.
Product Information
The Infinity Primus Series: Where Infinity Sound Begins.
Prepare to raise your expectations. Experience home entertainment at a new level of clarity and realism. From unobtrusive bookshelf systems to dazzlingly powerful home theaters, there's an Infinity Primus speaker that's right for every purpose and room in your home. Most other speaker systems in the Primus price range sound as if they are spraying their sound at you tinny, hollow and reproduced a copy of a copy. With its MMD transducer technology and seamless component architecture working in unison to eliminate unwanted resonance modes, the Primus P143BK doesn't spray it immerses, rolling over the listener with warm, rich sound the way live music does. Pair it with any one of our powerful MMD-equipped floorstanding loudspeakers, subwoofers and center-channel speakers, and the Infinity Primus P143BK will fill any room with dramatic and well-defined sound. This is where Infinity sound begins, and its well within your reach.
P143 Features:
- Two-way bookshelf/wall-mount loudspeaker
- 4" (100mm) MMD low-frequency driver
- 3/4" (19mm) MMD high-frequency driver
- Built-in wall mounts
- Legendary Infinity engineering - speaker components seamlessly work together as an integrated system
- Extremely low resonance enclosures - hear music exactly as it was recorded
- Tweeter waveguides improve on-and-off-axis high-frequency response
- Precision crossover networks
- Patented MMD transducers significantly improve cone performance, providing ideal rigidity and resistance to precision sound across the entire spectrum
P143 Highlights:
Incredible Sound. Incredible Price.
- The Infinity Primus P143BK delivers excellent midrange reproduction, providing inner musical detail and ambience from any type of music and any volume level. Combined with its excellent linear frequency response, the Primus P143BK sparkles in the high frequencies to reproduce acoustic instruments and vocal tracks with sufficient robust midrange power to wash you in sound. The Primus P143BK's transient response is equally impressive - agile and sharp - perfectly reproducing sophisticated percussion and piano modalities. With the Primus P143BK's Metal Matrix Diaphragm technology and low resonance enclosures, you will hear music just the way it was recorded, without the speaker changing or altering the sound - precisely as it should be.
Primus. Where Home Theater Begins.
- With its excellent high-frequency quality, the P143BK is the perfect home theater companion. Dialogue and foley tracks are articulated exceptionally well and seem to hang in the air - even amidst the most cacophonic battle or chase scene (or Hans Zimmer score). The Infinity Primus P143BK brings long-term, plug-and-play, trouble-free enjoyment to your home theater, unheard of at this price point - the perfect companion to Primus floorstanding speakers and subwoofers.
Patented MMD Transducer Technology.
- Derived from our patented CMMD technology, the Metal Matrix Diaphragm (MMD) approach continues the Infinity tradition of using advanced materials to improve sonic accuracy. These diaphragms are much stiffer than standard metal ones - by anodizing both sides of an aluminum core, we're able to significantly improve cone performance and outperform cones made of paper, polypropylene or Kevlar material. By virtue of its extreme rigidity and resistance to resonance, the MMD material is far more than just another diaphragm substance. It is an ideal diaphragm material for the ultimate listening experience. Sound propagates at a higher velocity in metals than in materials such as polymers and papers. Sound will travel through MMD material nearly twice as fast as it will through any other cone material - thus, moving unwanted resonances outside the audible range.
Superior Infinity Engineering.
- The Infinity Primus P143BK's speaker drivers, baffles, cabinets and waveguides are designed to work seamlessly together as an integrated system, fitting together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. It begins with our ultra-precise transducers - the beating heart of the Primus P143BK. MMD technology doesn't change, color or distort audio signal sound the way diaphragms made of other materials do. This combines with the Primus speaker's low resonance enclosures to compound the precision qualities of the transducer, further eliminating mechanical distortion.
Infinity - Legendary Reputation. Uncompromising Craftsmanship and Sound.
- With the Infinity Primus P143BK, you not only experience the cutting edge in high-performance transducer technology and sound reproduction, you experience the cutting edge from the makers of Infinity products - some of the world's most innovative, high-quality audio equipment. The road to the Infinity Primus series is a road lined with dozens of audio milestones: The Infinity Servo Statik 1a - the world's first powered subwoofer. The EMIT (Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter) device. The revolutionary IRS speaker - the world's first reference loudspeaker. The Prelude MTS speaker - the world's first powered tower speaker. Since 1968, innovative Infinity technologies, materials and manufacturing techniques have advanced the science of sound, and have set new standards in loudspeaker technology and performance. Infinity Primus Series speakers benefit from every Infinity innovation that has come before. This is where Infinity sound begins, and it's well within your reach.

NFL '12 Cherry Picks Wk-8
Posted By Steven Keys On Oct 25 2012 @ 12:39 pm In NFL | 2 Comments
A Thing of Beauty
One is a seasoned pro who collects hardware in the Lombardi line, forgoing the glitzy MVP variety. He is a standard by which others are measured and to which young players should aspire; the other is a rookie and budding star, athletic & energized, he still operates by the collegian concept that football is a one-man show and has the bruises to show it.
On Sunday both men took part in what may be the best short-sequence so far this NFL 2012 season, offensively speaking. The golden-age of the defensive-back, this is not.
With under two minutes in the game, Redskins' rookie QB Rob Griffin lofted a perfect 30-yard rainbow to receiver Santana Moss who did his best imitation of a Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder-catch and hauled it in for what looked to be the game-winning TD vs NYG.
Never one to back down from a challenge (it's in the genes), on the Giants' next series, the reigning Super Bowl champion QB Eli Manning responded quicker than you can say Jack Robinson by connecting with speedy Victor Cruz on a 20 yard strike turned nicely into a 77 yard TD scamper in what Vic described post-game as a play they both "practice." Practice makes perfect and this was pretty near perfection.
Both hook-ups were a thing of beauty, Eli & Vic's a bit more voluptuous than the Skins' version which was quite fetching, just the same. Kudos.
Greased Pig-skin
A football is a football is a football, right? Not when it's the official NFL ball it ain't. Next time you turn on the game, take a gander at the pigskin in play. That shiny spheroid, made by Wilson, a subsidiary of Amer-Sports (Finland), in Ada, Ohio, is slicker than a greased pig. But if you're looking for a justification for the sissy-fication of football by way of "sticky-gloves," there you have it. Cha-ching!
Health(ier) Choice
Enjoy watching the game but suffer through a plethora of TV commercials & announcers that bore you silly? Here's a solution. When it gets unbearable, flip-over to the League's "NFL Game Center" (NFLN / 1:00-4 EST). The colorful, game-board display shows every on-going contest with up-to-the-minute scores, audible announcing and is chock-full of the numbers you crave. If you're a scoreboard watcher, this is the place to be.
Cherry Picks Wk-8
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (5-2) (10-25 / NFLN / 8:20 EST)
If he doesn't soon turn it down a notch or two, Tampa Coach Gregg Schiano is in danger of becoming Les Steckel II, ex-marine who steered Vikes to 3-13 record in '84 (and OC of '00 Bucs top offense). Tough talk won't cut it if nobody's listening. Upside, Bucs battle in every loss, QB Freeman's rebounding while getting time (9-S) and specialist Barth can go long if close (57). But RB Blount is a rarity, top WR Jackson is ankled and run-stuff D (3d / 76 / David / Foster) will be tested by peaking Peterson (4.8). Vikings balanced defense (11R / 11P) tips the scale North in this slugfest of former division rivals.
Atlanta Falcons (6-0) @ Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) (10-28 / Fox / 1:00)
Count me among those feeling Falcons slightly more lucky than good. Atypical lack-luster defense supports the view. But Ryan's distribution is impressive (3-30+ WR), TD / INT ratio solid and Turner's run-game compliments. Home Eagles have better rank (7-O / 12-D) and with Vick looking threadbare I like him coming off the bye. Eagles win.
Washington Redskins (3-4) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (3-3) (Fox / 1:00)
ATL, MIN, NYG and now PIT: baptism by fire. Though I'm no fan of Mike's run-QB attack-plan, I give Rob credit for battling big boys with gusto. Hope DC isn't looking ahead to CAR / bye. Griffin's COMP % (70) and TD ratio (7-3) are good, while W-L (3-4) not bad for 1st-year. But when the QB is a top RB (7.3 / 468 / 6), trouble awaits in downfield pops and time lost in pocket-classroom. Skins can tackle (Fletcher / Riley / Wms / Hall) but deflect few passes (32). Troy is missed (calf) but Pitt still defends (2) while RB Dwyer has earned a start (if it works, don't fix). Ben's like Brett, under-appreciated, takes a licking & keeps on ticking, a flair for dramatic and a nose for the end-zone. Steelers win.
New York Giants (5-2) @ Dallas Cowboys (3-3) (Fox / 4:25)
Raiders / Chiefs rivalry is regal (CBS / 4:05) but this is big bout in Wk-8. Cowboys made nice opening statement Wk-1 vs NYG (24-17) but very garbled since (SEA / CHI). Boys slip-by gloomy Cats while Giants 'pull fat outta the fire' vs DC. Where is the greatness? That would be the NBA (Heat / Lakers). Dallas run-attack doesn't scare but Romo can still matriculate with cool WR corps and Giants' D won't say boo (24). Jerry wants this one bad, Garrett knows it and the Dallas defense should do its part (4). Cowboys win.
New Orleans Saints (2-4) @ Denver Broncos (3-3) (NBC / 8:20)
Resurrection Bowl. Saints have a ways to go (D-30/30; O-run (31)) but got their bounce back. Brees is breezy and tide may've turned vs TB. Gotta' like Manning's progress (ratio (14-4) & distribution) while reliable RB McGahee (4.3) could use a backfield bud. Denver D (11) should hamper Drew enough (10-P) while protected Peyton (10-S) lights-up the night. Broncos win.
San Francisco 49ers (5-2) @ Arizona Cardinals (4-3) (ESPN / 8:30)
Giants loss lingers for 49ers but Seattle win cauterizes the wound. Notable road victories (GB / Jets) and top-flight D (1) make San Fran a player but AZ win bolster's case. Smith is sound and run-game serious (177) but mounting sacks (20) a concern. Cards quandary: quality wins (SEA / NE / PHI), troubling losses (BUF / STL) with biggest being Kolb who was fitting-in. QB Skelton needs size (6-6 / 244) as Arizona O-line is sieve (35-S) which doesn't help the run-game (26). But John likes home crowd (6-0) and solid Cards' D keeps it close (Daryl Washington: 62 / 6-S). May come down to kickers who've been shaky as of late but can be rangy: (AZ) Feely 61 / (SF) Ackers 63. 49ers are good.

But that's where Newton native Phil Mastroianni launched Fabrizia Limoncello with his brother Nick just four years ago. Now they're shipping bottles as far south as Virginia.
"I just started making it for fun," explains Mastroianni, a second-generation Italian-American. "When we have holidays at my house, my uncle Dominic brings his homemade wine, my uncle Tony brings his homemade wine. Everyone's trying to show theirs off."
During a visit to Calabria in 2007, he tried his cousin Angelina's limoncello, made from lemons grown on her property. "I decided when I got home I was going to make limoncello. Nobody else in my family was doing that, so I figured it would be my thing."
When his uncle Joe told him it was the best limoncello he'd ever tasted, Mastroianni was inspired to quit his accounting job in downtown Boston to start his own business. "If it weren't for Uncle Joe, this never would have happened," he says.
"If you make limoncello the correct way," he continues, "you use nothing but the lemon rind, just the zest, to both color and flavor." Fabrizia infuses pure grain alcohol with lemon zest for three months, then sweetens it with simple syrup. "Whether you make it in America or in Italy, [limoncello] is best within the first 12 months of when it is produced."
This could be the secret to Fabrizia's regional success. Compared to big-name brands produced in large batches and shipped around the world, Fabrizia is more likely to arrive in local bars before the end of a bottle's short shelf life.
And arrive in local bars it has. Near Fenway, Sweet Cheeks serves the Dollywood, featuring Fabrizia, vodka, and sparkling wine. At Papagãyo in Fort Point, bartender Anthony Nataluk says Fabrizia is the only limoncello they use. He highlights it in the Mexican Lemonade, with a smooth mix of tequila, muddled limes, simple syrup, and lemon juice.
In Cambridge, Park pours a drink called the Giant Killer, using Fabrizia and lavender-rose honey syrup to soften bourbon's warming punch. "It's kind of like a whiskey sour, but a little more grown-up," says bartender William Tomlinson. "I always find myself putting limoncello in interesting places. . . . I feel like now it's getting more popular because it's starting to get stocked in more places."
I couldn't help asking Mastroianni if he saw limoncello's use in mixed drinks as a corruption of the digestif, traditionally served chilled and sipped straight.
"Quite the opposite," he says. "It's providing an opportunity for more people to experience limoncello. . . . Hopefully, eventually, people will try it straight, but just because someone's not enjoying it the way it's traditionally enjoyed doesn't mean it's wrong."

The supporters of abortion run hide when confronted with situations like this or they quickly change the subject.
The supporters of abortion run hide when confronted with situations like this or they quickly change the subject.
The MSP and all the Obama sycophants...that's all democrats...cannot stand to have their favorite abortion clinics...Planned Parenthood..get challenged to the degree of maybe even getting their taxpayer $$$ cancelled.
It won't surprise me that IF the jury finds this murderer guilty, it will be 'reported on page 6..BUT if they find him innocent...it will be headlined front page above the fold.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Sensible people including those who support pro-choice acknowledge the illegality and immorality of 3rd trimester abortions.
power without lumber, raciness without weediness
A big man never looks down on others.... instead, he is someone to look up to.
There are so many charges against him that it will take the jury some time to address all of them. I watched the Fox News special. Unbelievable. He is not the only guilty one The PA Health Dept. has to share some of the guilt. Despite serious complaints, they did not inspect the clinic and allowed him to "practice" there for 17 years. A 15 year old applied the anesthesia -- but only when patients paid extra to get it.
This article in National Review tracks the history of three abortion clinics in FL. It appears at least equal in depravity to Gosnell.
"Safe, rare and legal" ,,, what's going on in clinics like these may be legal ... but nothing resembling safe or rare.
In the passed, lack of information about a medical practitioner's past history has been faulted. In the case of one of the doctors in the FL case, NY knew of his history, but approved his NY license anyway! No surprise that he has had malpractice suits in NY as well.
"Know in your heart that all things are possible. We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none ever happened." -Libby Fudim

"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
Why do they keep calling him a doctor?
I think that today's verdict will be the first of many against other similar "doctors"...maybe this will get people to rethink their stance on the abortion issue...even though IMO these were not abortions, these were murders..sickening, just sickening

Video: Student work: Ensemble ACJW to present concert
Posted January 13, 2012; 01:53 p.m.
Ensemble ACJW, featuring musicians from The Academy at Carnegie Hall, will perform in the Princeton University Concerts series Jan. 19 in Richardson Auditorium.
Video Closed Captions
On Thursday, Jan. 19, the Princeton University
Concert series presents Ensemble ACJW, featuring
musicians from The Academy at Carnegie Hall.
The concert will take place at Richardson
Auditorium in Alexander Hall.
Mariana Olaizola:
The Princeton University Concerts is a gem of Princeton tradition that has enriched
Mariana Olaizola:
this campus for more than 100 years.
Scott Burnham:
We're going to hear music by Beethoven, Shostakovich
and the contemporary composer David Bruce.
Scott Burnham:
This is a high-energy event not to be missed.
Mariana Olaizola:
As a student sitting in this glamorous
Richardson Auditorium, it's a special moment
Mariana Olaizola:
amidst a crazy academic life. That we get
to experience some of the finest music making
Mariana Olaizola:
from vocal Renaissance music to ground-breaking
funky groups like Time for Three is just
Mariana Olaizola:
an enormous, amazing gift that this University offers us.
Scott Burnham:
A lot of people have this image of Beethoven,
that he's a heaven-storming world-beater,
Scott Burnham:
and that he's deadly serious in a lot of his
compositions, with a knotted brow -- just
Scott Burnham:
think of those busts of Beethoven that you
often see -- but the piece that we're going
Scott Burnham:
to hear in this concert, the trio for
clarinet, cello and piano, opus 11, is
Scott Burnham:
a lot of fun, and it taps into a vein that
Beethoven worked a lot all during his career,
Scott Burnham:
but mostly during the early years, which was
popular music.
Mariana Olaizola:
I would say everyone should take advantage
of this opportunity.
Scott Burnham:
If you'd like to hear more about it, I'm going
to be talking with the performers on stage
Scott Burnham:
before the concert. I hope you can join us.
