Malta Hatuey
You have? Wow. That's terrible. Gosh, we've just been busy with other stuff here at the Lab. I had to build a Lego model of Fallingwater as if it were designed to Sauron's specifications, for one. That took a while. But finally, with sheepish grins and shifty eyes, we're creeping back to the bench. And waiting thereon is one I've been looking forward to for a while: Malta Hatuey.
Now, it's pretty much self-evident why this qualifies as a Weird soda. It's named after the sound of loogie-hawking. That's pretty darned awesome, as well as Weird. It further describes itself as a "non-alcoholic cereal beverage", and is adorned with a drawing of a stern-faced native American. He looks really, really unhappy, and a bit sad. If I were to guess as to his thoughts, they might be something like
"Alas. Not only have my people been ravaged by smallpox, cheated, lied to, and forced from our ancestral homeland...now I am associated with Malta Hatuey. This is a #@%$-fest of truly EPIC proportions."
The ingredients list includes barley malt, fructose, corn syrup, "mellomalt", caramel malt, and hops. I have no idea what "mellomalt" is. My mind keeps trying to associate it with Mallomars, which is (hopefully) incorrect.
Color: Dark, dark brown, and mostly opaque. Kind of thick. Dense foam.
JAT: "Looks black to me."
Scent: Like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, except with beer instead of milk.
JAT: "Smells bad. Bleeeaaaahh."
LAT: "Smells kind of like molasses. Molasses root beer, actually."
Taste: Well, it's definitely malty.
Me: "Want to taste it?"
LAT: "Errrrr....wellll...uh...I don't know. Is it toxic?"
I give him some.
LAT: "It tastes like...actually...it doesn't taste like much. It tastes like a more bitter molasses, that only lasts, like two seconds." *smacks lips repeatedly, pauses, smacks lips again* "Hmmm." *Smacks lips*
JAT: "Ah...bah! bleaaah! Bleeeaaaah!" *goes to bathroom*
K-i-C: "Smells like blackstrap molasses." *sips* "Tastes like patent medicine. Mmmmm, nutritious."
In a remote, mountainous region, in a facility constructed of basalt and rough-hewn cedar, wizened alchemists are even now combining coffee, caramel, Whoppers, motor oil, beer, sawdust, cinnamon, and amaretto in their attempts to create the Philosopher's Stone. This is a byproduct of that quest.
Quaff rating: 2. I'd be pretty unlikely to seek this out. Bitter, strange. But then, I'm beginning to think that malt beverages aren't my thing.
Cough rating: 2. Definitely a grimace, but not a gag.

About time! Glad to see you back to work! How about some theme reviews? (sodas of oppression, can sludge be a good thing? History's forgotten beverages, is that really a food product? And so on.)ReplyDelete
I still have no idea what it is, but based on the age of the advertisement, I have to assume it's been around for a while.
wow how ignorant. malta hatuey is a cuban drink. and that picture on the front is not a native american from american but Hatuey a Taino cacique (cheif) who fled to Cuba from Hispanola from the Spanish. He tried to save a taino village in Cuba from the Spanish but was captured and burned at the stake. When asked if he would accept Jesus before he died so that he could go to heaven he asked if christians would be there... when the spanish told him yes he said no becasue he wouldnt want to be with such evil people. Hatuey is considered Cubas first hero. Yeah and anyway malta is the shit. It tastes so much better that coke or pepsi.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree with you, Emily. They were ignorant to call him a Native America as in coming from the United States. Thanks for clarifying.Delete
As far as their "review" saying it was bitter and nasty. They need to have their tastebuds checked. There is nothing bitter about this drink at all. I had been passing it on the shelves at Target for months now and finally decided to buy some and boy am I happy I did. I love it! It isn't bitter at all! I think it is like a thick non-alcoholic ale with a light molasses flavoring and a somewhat "bread/cereal" finish.
I highly recommend this product!

I remember having Malta Hatuey when i was little--i loved it. Was only around when i'd go to visit my cuban and puerto rican relatives. Wouldn't mind getting a hold of some today but i don't think there's a non-mexican latin market within 100 miles...ReplyDelete
Emily: Sincere thanks for the correction on the picture, and the history. That's quite a story. Sadly, I must disagree about the flavor, but friendly disagreement is a source of growth.ReplyDelete
Most Cubans drink it with milk or sweetened, condensed milk - not too good without that...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 10, 2012 at 4:49 PM
Listen: Try it with some good Cuban food. Over ice. Then buy a six pack and drink it when you'd have dessert. It's so painfully sweet and thick, it qualifies. Then...then, something mysterious will happen. You will find yourself craving malta. And nothing else will do. Then you'll go buy another six.ReplyDelete
BTW, in south Florida even the local supermarket "Publix" has *a store branded* malta it's so popular!

puerto rican here love this stuff my mom was always buying it for us when i was little so i guess you have to grow up on it.ReplyDelete
i have tried the other brands but always come back to this.
buddy's don't like it wife does not like it and my kids are older now and they don't like it.
o well more for me LOL

THIS IS A VERY IGNORANT REVIEWReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 2, 2012 at 7:04 AM
I'm totally addicted to this crap. I found it hidden beside the cat food cans in a small corner store in South Florida. It's magical. Clearly it is a very polarizing beverage. Like the comedy of Jim Carey, you either love it or hate it. I'll bet Jim would love this stuff too.ReplyDelete
While we may not agree on the taste, I'm happy to see some people actively seeking out different sodas to try. Malta Hatuey is definitely one that either love it or hate it. I grew up with the stuff and love it; its a sweet memory of my family's traditions. Thank you to Emily for correcting the history of Hatuey so people can learn of who the man really was. Cheers!ReplyDelete

I have read many inaccurate comments on this page. Including the one about being "a cuban drink". According to wikipedia:ReplyDelete
"Malta is high in B vitamins. Some breweries, like Albani Brewery of Denmark, fortify their non-alcoholic malta beverages with Vitamin B complex. Albani Brewery claims on their website to have been the first brewery to create non-alcoholic malt beverages in 1859.

Pizza Tree takes root in Columbia
New pizzeria brings inventive 'pizza art' to Mojo's.
While there's no such thing as a money tree, the existence of a pizza tree has been verified, and luckily for us, it's rooted right here in Columbia.
Nestled inside Mojo's, Pizza Tree makes a statement in its own right. With its inventive menu consisting of elaborate "pizza art" and owner Johnny Gilbreth's extensive pizza knowledge, it's easy to see why.
Gilbreth has worked in restaurants since high school, but it wasn't until college when he landed a job at Shakespeare's that his pizza artistry appeared. After failing to fall in love with a "real job," Gilbreth returned to his college roots and decided to open a pizzeria. And just like that, Pizza Tree was born.
Prior to the opening of Pizza Tree, Gilbreth set out on a pizza expedition, venturing to 32 pizzerias in 31 days on the northeastern coast, learning all the secrets of the trade and indulging in what he thinks is some of the country's finest pizza.
The journey, Gilbreth says, was to "pad (what I already knew) with real life experience."
Upon returning to Columbia, Gilbreth began the Pizza Tree adventure, combining the traditional with the not-so-traditional. Pizza Tree, as he puts it, thrives on its creativity, as is evident in their innovative menu.
The restaurant's self-titled "pizza art" merges a variety of flavors to appeal to the perfect palate, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind pizzas.
One best-seller, the Banh Mi pizza art, "fills up the mouth real good" as it integrates flavors of sriracha pork belly with the likes of chile aioli, kimchi, cilantro and fresh mozzarella to provide taste buds with the whole nine yards.
Gilbreth notes that nothing is off-limits when it comes to creating the next great pizza.
"No (recipe) is perfect to start with, but I've got to see them through," he says. "It's all about the flavor, even if it's just junk food."
While pizza may not be the healthiest of food choices when compared to brussels sprouts or spinach, Pizza Tree's ingredients are made right inside the kitchen. Everything from Pizza Tree's fresh mozzarella to its Canadian bacon, which is smoked and cured on location, are made in-house.
Other ingredients, like the Ezzo pepperoni, are shipped in from places like Columbus, Ohio, just to ensure that Pizza Tree can serve customers quality pizzas made from the most flavorful, quality products.
"It's all about the food," Gilbreth says. "We just want to put pizza in people's hands when they want it."
As for what's next for Pizza Tree, keep a lookout for electric bicycle pizza delivery.
"I want to keep being funkier in our look and attitude and have that reflected in our food," Gilbreath says.
If funky is the tune Pizza Tree is aiming for, it would seem that it's headed in the right direction. After all, when was the last time you had a pizza topped with truffled crimini or kimchi?

Go GLOCK. You'd not be in bad company in USPSA Production (I have YET to see an FN at a match). You could shoot Limited with a few modifications down the road, too. The G23 loses nothing to the G22 or G35in the speed sports.
so i have been looking for another gun...wanting to get back into shooting some and planning on shooting USPSA as well as this will be my primary CCW gun as well.
i have found a Gen2 Glock G23 with Bianchi IWB holster and 2 13 round mags for $400...found it online and would have to have it transfered in.
here at our local gun shop they have a FNP-9 comes with 3 mags....same price at $400
if you all had to choose between the 2 which way would you go and why?
not really worried about cost of ammo since i reload so thats not a huge issue.
and i know the Glocks have had a very good known reputation for being very reliable guns...but i dont know much about the FN....also with the FN would it put me in a diffrent class other than Production class. that is something else i want to take into concideration
Go GLOCK. You'd not be in bad company in USPSA Production (I have YET to see an FN at a match). You could shoot Limited with a few modifications down the road, too. The G23 loses nothing to the G22 or G35in the speed sports.
Personally, i would go with the FN because I'm really not a fan of the ergonomics of the glock, and i dont like the trigger pull on striker fired handguns because i feel that they tend to be really jerky. On the other hand, i was very impressed by the quality of the FN especially for the price. I own and love sig handguns and found that in many ways the FN was a similar only in a cheaper, more economic package. For me, the ergonomics work well, the trigger pull feels nice, and i like the safety/decock lever being located behind the slide release on the frame. Unfortunately, i cannot speak to the competition aspect of the two guns since I am not really into all that and dont know too much about it but for CCW and shooting in general, i would chose the FN any day. Although, keep in mind all this is opinion. If you want to know what is going to work best for you, then i would strongly suggest handling and dry firing (or live firing if you can) both of the guns before you make your decision. Both are going to be great guns when it comes to reliability and functionality so it really comes down to what you think feels better to you and suits your individual situation with the competition piece and all.
However, in response to HK Dan, as little as i know about USPSA competition, i do know for a fact that FNH's professional shooting team does compete with the FN pistols. I think they usually use the FNX but the only difference between the two is different slide shape, the FNX has front slide cocking serrations, and the safety/decock lever is larger and made of plastic, and the FNX is supposed to be a little lighter, and has a slightly different frame. Internally, they are the same.
Good luck.
First thing I would do is handle both and see if they even pass the test. I would buy a 200.00 pistol over a 1000.00 pistol just because of comfort and ability to put it where it counts. But that's just me.
Well the best gun that i seem to have no problemsm, and the one i would go with would be the sig-220 or the glock 23 .. Those would be the ones i would get..no gun out is better than the sig 220 45. Cal. No gun!!! And then second would come to the glock 23 40cal. Very nice gun even to conceal .. But if you want a know down gun and is so on, then pay the money for the sig p220 45.caldoesnt get any better
Well you will be pleased by buying the glock 23 .. Thats a really nice 40 cal. And i usually always carry it on me .. And for 400.00? Probably not! You can get a brand new glock 23 for about 400-509 and as fae as the fnp? I would stay away from that gun .. Firing pin always is being replaced, so go with the glock or pay the money for the sig p220 you can find one for around 700.00 and you will be hooked on that gun.
I definitely second the statement that the sig p220 is the best handgun ever. Personally, i am partial to the p226 but they are essentially the same thing other than caliber. internally they are VERY similar. It doesnt get much better than a sig period. They are rugged, accurate out of the box, and i find them to be very ergonomically pleasing. If that is at all a possibility, i would say it would a good time to implement the buy once cry once policy. But i do understand that they are expensive and can be outside of peoples price range, or at least what they are willing to spend on the gun. However, it might be worth looking around for a used one.
Thanks cooper, glad to see someone that feels the same.. I also like the sig p226 .. But were are both right, they are hefty in price, and probably out of alot of peoples range .. But if people would just save there money.. And buy a sig .. Then there wouldnt be a reason down the road to buy another gun.. Ive done it.. Bought one gun traded it bought another traded ect. Till i finally said im going to save my money and but the guns i want.. Its well worth the money believe me..
Well champ, after re-reading yr post, i would go with the glock 23 .. Reason? Cause its a well made gun, and i love mine, you can feed it any ammo, and still shoots dead on, all the ergonomics make it a perfect gun, for shooting in competition, or concealed carry, the fnp to me is a copy cat, and my friend whi is a cop has one, and we went to the range, and i watched him bitch about it jamming, he was using remington ammo, winchester ammo, and , speer ammo, all seemed to jam, and it just didnt feed right, i think 3 times, the slide didnt stay open.. So theres my reason for that.. But you cant go wrong with a glock.. Plain and simple, and you said they were asking 400.00? Not bad at all .. Just check the firing pin.. Thats what would worry me, and the only thing that would worry me.. But its also up to you too, how do they feel in yr hand? Only you will know that, and whats comfortable to you as a shooter.. Good luck my friend..

On the Bus
House We Built Last Trip
Building Team
Prep for Walls
First Baptist Church of Manasquan Team July, 2012
We finally got Internet service. It was actually nice not being connected...I didn't miss it. But I DID promise you reports so let me see what I can remember...you know how the days are long and kind of run into each other.
Day 1
We didn't get our bags right away but when we finally got all of them, we had no problem leaving. We saw Tiga (Project Foreman) as soon as we walked out the doors..with his big smile welcoming us! It was a wonderful reunion! We boarded the bus, no...not the air conditioned bus or the sweltering box truck. They now have a 20 passenger bus..no air!
Long trip! We got settled in. We walked around the compound and took note of all the changes that they made. We no longer make cages in the empty field anymore. They are made on the opposite side of the compound. They expanded the kitchen with 4 kitchen tables and they moved the cooking part of the kitchen over by the bedroom-hut where the girls slept last time.
We walked to the house that we built last trip. The owner showed us the inside and we took pics.
We walked to the beach and took pics. It was so pretty to see the ocean after the long day flying. Afterwards we had goat, rice & beans for dinner. We played spoons before bedtime and ended early because we were exhausted from the trip.
We slept on the roof and woke up freezing! We were damp and cold but it still beat sleeping in the hot bunker!
Day 2
We walked to the house we built in Octiber and made a cement front porch. She had been asking for one and Tiga thought it would be a great idea if we got to finish what we started. It was perfect!
We came home for lunch, chicken, rice & black beans and took a nice long break.
We then walked very, very far to our next house. We worked with the couple that's here; Mike & Melody from Kentucky. We filled half of the house with rubble. Half the house! Mike was the designated lifter..he's over 6 ft. Tall! We worked hard!
We came home for dinner, Mac & cheese with ham in it. We played spoons before bedtime and after many rounds I finally beat John. we tried to sleep on the roof again but woke up to rain at 1:30 in the morning.
Day 3
We took the long walk again and finished filling the other half of the house. We had so much fun as the children greeted us the whole walk! Some were flying kites, some were playing with their home-made cars out of valvoline oil bottles, or plastic tubes that they used for telephones.
After lunch, corn mash & beef stew & avocado, we made cages. There is a different size for the walls. They now cut out the windows while making the wall and make the walls that have the doors in it out of 2 smaller pieces.
We saw Alex (the project manager) today. He's been very busy. He told us that they have to build 10 houses in a month.
Jeremy (Conscience International) will not be returning any time soon as he doesn't have the funds to travel.
We saw Manou today! (A boy we met on our last trip) He asked about Michael too. He looks older!
We worked today with Maxi. We didn't see Mark and we saw Pastor briefly when we walked to the rubble house.
We played spoons again and Diane and Leah tied and John lost again! Haha!
We've been having wonderful devotions every night with a lot of participation from all.
Last night and tonight we had rain and thunder and lightning. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain again..we will see what they'll have us do in that case. We've not worked here when it rained
during day yet.

Whenever severe weather is in the forecast, the district leadership follows an established process based on benchmarking best practices. Weather conditions outside this school district generally are not included in the decision-making process (i.e., a neighboring school district is closed) as conditions may not be the same.
For emergency closings and late starts, coordination starts as early as 4:30 a.m. of the applicable school day. Normally no later than 5 a.m., a recommendation is forwarded to the superintendent. If the superintendent elects to keep schools open, no public communications are made. If a decision is made to close schools, normally by 5:30 a.m. the news media are called, the ParentLink and Campus Messenger systems are activated and all websites, and social media outlets are updated.
We recognize that some parents/guardians would appreciate calls at different hours, but we do not have a system to accomplish such. Every attempt will be made to have the entire notification system initiated by 5:30 a.m. and completed by 6 a.m. Whenever news media has or is airing upcoming or current weather warnings, we recommend parents/guardians always check any of the different methods our district is or will use to communicate regarding school delayed starts or closings.
During the course of a school day, if the weather becomes a significant safety issue, district officials will consult with outside safety experts, Vision Transportation, schools and programs. Should a decision be made to have an early dismissal, the notification systems described above will be immediately implemented. Announcements normally are only made if a decision is made for a late start, early dismissal or closure.
It is important to note that the school district assumes legal responsibility for students once they arrive on school grounds or embark on a district contracted bus or transportation option. Parents and guardians are reminded that it is vitally important and their responsibility to ensure their student(s) are properly dressed for extreme weather conditions going to and coming from school.
If inclement weather forces ISD 728 to close, start late or dismiss early, one of the following announcements will be made using the media sources listed at the bottom of the page.
There may be times when adverse weather or an emergency will result in school delays, closings or early dismissals. The district will communicate with you using the following methods:

Wings wallop Bats 12-6
Parmelee with back-to-back homers
By Nick Sciarratta and Rebecca Fitzgerald / Rochester Red Wings | May 4, 2014 3:55 PM ET
Chris Parmelee homered twice and drove in five runs, as the Red Wings pounded the Louisville Bats 12-6 Sunday afternoon at Frontier Field. The Wings hit the road for eight games, then return home on Tuesday May 13 to open an eight-game homestand.
Rochester's Alex Meyer had struck out 11 batters in each of his last two starts, most recently this past Monday here. On Sunday, Meyer set down the Bats in order in the first inning, with Chris Nelson caught looking at a third strike for the final out of the inning.
Bats starter Chad Reineke was making his third start and seventh appearance of the season, and was knocked around by Buffalo April 28 allowing seven runs and seven hits in 1 2/3 innings. Wings leadoff man Eric Farris drilled a 2-2 pitch from Reineke up the middle for a single to open the Rochester half of the first inning.
Things quickly got worse for Reineke - and much better for the Wings - when James Beresford picked up an infield hit that glanced off of Reineke's glove. That set the stage for Parmelee, who hit a mammoth home run on a 3-1 pitch. The ball went straight up and then over the roof of The Nest picnic pavilion in right field, and was Parmelee's sixth homer of the year.
Wilkin Ramirez followed with a single, and Oswaldo Arcia flew out for the first out of the inning. Deibinson Romero's base hit put two runners on for Doug Bernier, who blooped a hit down the right field line. The hit drove home a run, and Romero alertly hustled home on a throwing error by first baseman Mike Costanzo. Eduardo Nunez added an RBI single, and when the inning was over the Wings batted around, tallied seven hits and staked Meyer to a 6-0 lead. The seven hits in the inning was a new high for the offense this season.
Parmelee had a 15-game hitting streak end on Saturday night, and started a new streak of sorts on Sunday. Batting with Beresford on in the second, Parmelee ripped a line drive home run that skipped off the top of the yellow top of the fence, into the bullpen, then bounded back out onto the field. The homer boosted Rochester's lead to 8-0.
Nunez singled to begin the Wings' offense in the third inning, after Bernier popped out to first. Dan Rohlfing followed with a single of his own, prompting the Bats to replace Reineke with Nick Schmidt. Farris and Beresford flew out and grounded out, respectively, to end the inning, with Parmelee set to lead off the fourth.
Meyer continued to throw at a pace of one strikeout per inning, with his fourth coming in the fourth inning. This time, Meyer caught Felix Perez looking. Bats manager Jim Riggleman disagreed with the call, prompting home plate umpire Jonathan Bailey to eject him from the game. Meyer's scoreless streak ended at 15 2/3 innings when Costanzo hit a home run off the right field scoreboard, bringing in Nelson and putting the Bats on the board. Meyer tallied his fifth strikeout to end the inning.
Parmelee stayed hot with a double to the right field corner, which started a four-run fourth inning for the Wings. Oswaldo Arcia hit a double to the center field wall. With Arcia's double, every starting Wing had tallied a hit, most against Reineke (0-3). The Wings nearly batted around once again, starting with Romero's walk. Arcia scored off a Nunez single. Rolfing hit a flyball just past Perez in right field to score Romero and Nunez to give Rochester a 12-2 lead at the end of the fourth.
The Bats started their comeback right away, starting off with an Argenis Diaz walk. Meyer gave up another walk and a double to Perez before Edgar Ibarra replaced the starter on the mound with two outs. Just shy of earning the win, Meyer struck out five while allowing five hits, including a homer, and four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings. Meyer threw 92 pitches, 59 for strikes.
Ibarra got off to a shaky start with a couple wild pitches. The first allowed Perez to advance to third while Thomas Neal began his at-bat. Neal faced a full count before Ibarra tossed another high ball to record his first walk on the day. Costanzo ended the Bats rally with an unassisted groundout to Parmelee.
Chad Rogers replaced Schmidt on the mound in the sixth with the Bats still trailing 12-4. He first walked Romero, but retired the next three batters on flyouts.
The Bats chipped away once again to narrow the Wings' lead to 12-5 in the seventh inning. Ibarra walked Jason Bourgeois, who advanced on a single by Ruben Gotay and a flyout by Nelson. Beresford tried to double up Gotay and Perez, but couldn't catch Perez at first, as Bourgeois scored the Bats fifth run.
Ibarra (2-0) pitched 2 1/3 innings with two hits and an earned run allowed, walking two and striking out one. Matt Guerrier took over to start the eighth inning, and allowed a single. In the ninth, Gotay homered off Guerrier with one out.
Nunez had three hits and two RBI, and four other Wings players - Farris, Beresford, Ramirez, and Rohlfing - had two hits each,.
NOTES: The Wings' 17 hits tied the team single game high, accomplished April 20 at Syracuse...The seven hits in the first inning was the most in one inning this season for the Wings' offense...Top prospect Byron Buxton, who sprained his left wrist in a Minor League Spring Training game on March 16, was officially activated from the 7-day disabled list at Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Sunday. Buxton, ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect by MLB.com, is expected to play at Fort Myers until he's deemed ready to move up to Double-A New Britain.

This Day in Red Wings History
2005 - The first five hitters in the Rochester lineup each had at least two hits, and Dave Gassner improved to 3-0 as the Red Wings cruised to a 7-1 win at Pawtucket on Wednesday afternoon. After the game, Minnesota called up INF Terry Tiffee and sent C Corky Miller to Rochester.
This Day in IL Baseball History
1991 - Derek Bell of Syracuse, already on his way to a monster season, bangs out four more hits as the Chiefs down Richmond 10-4. Bell drives in a pair of runs to go along with his 4-5 effort. The 22-year-old Bell turned out to be the IL's dominant offensive star in 1991, leading the circuit in batting (.346), hits (158), runs (89), RBI (93), and total bases (243). To the surprise of no one, Derek Bell was named the International League's Most Valuable Player.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
Iran and the Blues
I pondered her point of view, and sniggered dryly over the impossibility of getting people to
listen as Bonnie said, "We're going to look at your travels to consider the conformation process
in different cultures."
"Ready when you are," I said as if it mattered.
"I think maybe you are," she said. "You'll recall from our conversation at Chez Michel's,"
she said, settling into the new topic, "that you designed the span of your experiences to
encompass how the average person's beliefs are formed, and how people react in various
circumstances of increasing pressure and fear. You now know that you represent individuals who
represent nations who are leading their children down the path of ruin."
"I remember; you're saying that my fear is archetypical?"
"You could have it no other way, and it's more pervasive than you can imagine… for now."
She tapped the table lightly as she made her points.
"When we first met, you were so sensitive to the word magic that you claimed there was no
such thing as a mystery—just ignorance. You also claimed that nothing spooky had happened to
you, as a derisive term, when I was talking about a mysterious side of mankind's awareness. You
did this because unimaginable depravity had crushed your sense of wonder in general, and your
faith and trust specifically. Your stunned reaction to meeting K ha-lib, and dismissive attitude
about anything spiritual also proclaimed the degree to which religion has influenced you,
because you viewed from the standpoint of their failures."
"That information was so far off the norm that you surprised me."
"You told me that you had lost the capacity for surprise?"
"I said that in the context of malice and cruelty, not in the sense of hearing pure crap. I know
better now."
"Do you? I think that you were not surprised; you were frightened." She sipped the last of
her wine and set it aside. "There are two chapters in your book that form the bookends of your
surreptitious study of a society's conditioning to fear. What do you think they are?"
"Hang on: to be clear, part of my personal quest was to become severely affected by the
average person's beliefs taken to their end point… correct?"
"Then recover from them so that I understand the full cycle?"
"Also correct?"
"So what does that have to do with the alphabet of mastery of anything?"
"Emissaries can't teach what they don't understand, and only experience can bring them to
the comprehensive knowledge of their individual missions. You needed to know this definitively,
while you also needed this specific lesson, so nothing is wasted. We were talking about your
study of a society's conditioning to fear..."
"Right… El Salvador was the big one," I said with a shrug. "It was all-pervasive; nothing
else ever came close."
"There was nothing surreptitious about fear El Salvador," she said with a dismissive wave.
"A short while ago, I helped you reassess a section of your book in which you said crews hated
working in some countries."
"You said we couldn't hate people we had never met, and that we actually feared cultures
we didn't understand. That was about Iran."
"And?" she grinned.

: Can we compare hairballs?
This may be the strangest thread I've ever started but I hope someone's up for it besides me. Firstly, I typically finger detangle my hair when it's full of conditioner and I'm in the shower. Whatever loose hairs catch on my fingers I collect and set aside because I've had plumbing problems before on account of my shedding where I had to physically remove the hair buildup that had collected in my drain. It was. . . really icky. So I now I just gather one clean hairball per wash and toss it in the trash afterwards. But I've been marveling lately at how little hair I lose since going CG and with (GENTLE!) co-washing. My hairball is consistently the size of quarter every three days. So I snapped a picture of the latest two hairballs which I saved for demo. I'm wondering it's the same for everyone. I was a major shedder before CG. Now I have to say even though my hair looks a fraction of the size it used to since it's all curly and clumpy, I'm not. I keep more hair than I lose, for sure.
For reference, I have coarse, porous BSL hair and I detangle 2-3x a week.

Newsweek, Frank Rich misled on Giuliani's support for Bush policy in Iraq
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
In its cover story for the March 12 issue, Newsweek suggested that Rudy Giuliani has not been a "staunch advoca[te]" of a troop increase, despite reports that Giuliani has repeatedly endorsed the Iraq war and President Bush's troop increase. Similarly, New York Times columnist Frank Rich alleged that Giuliani had not been a "cheerleader" for Bush's decision to invade Iraq.
In its cover story for the March 12 issue of the magazine, Newsweek asserted that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's (R) candidacy has been gaining support "thanks in part to former front runner [Sen.] John McCain's [R-AZ] staunch advocacy for escalating the troop presence in Iraq," suggesting that Giuliani has not been a "staunch advoca[te]" of a troop increase, despite reports that, "[i]n every speech he makes," Giuliani "endors[es] the war and the deployment of 21,500 more troops." Similarly, in his March 4 column (subscription required), New York Times op-ed columnist Frank Rich asserted that Giuliani had not been a "cheerleader" for President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. Rich did not define what he meant by "cheerleader," but in 2002, Giuliani repeatedly called for regime change in Iraq "earlier" rather than "later." Rich also suggested that "[t]o voters, [Giuliani's] war history begins and ends with the war against the enemy that actually attacked America on 9/11," even though Giuliani has, over the last five years, repeatedly tied the Iraq war to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Newsweek on Giuliani's position on Iraq troop increase
In contrast with Newsweek's suggestion that Giuliani and McCain have differed on the question of support for Bush's troop escalation in Iraq, New York Magazine reported on March 5 that Giuliani and McCain "hold essentially the same position on Iraq."
Giuliani has repeatedly said that he is in favor of a troop increase. As CNN noted, Giuliani released a statement on January 10 that read: "Success or failure in Iraq is not a matter of partisan politics but a matter of national Security. ... In that spirit, I support the president's increase in troops." As The New York Times similarly noted, Giuliani said on the February 5 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes: "I support what the president asked for support to do and what General [David H.] Petraeus has asked for support to do, not because there's any guarantee it's going to work."
On February 14, The New York Times reported that, "[i]n every speech he makes," Giuliani "endors[es] the war and the deployment of 21,500 more troops," but that, according to political analysts, he also has to "avoid alienating antiwar voters to win the presidency in a general election, and avoid taking the blame if the war continues to go badly." The Times then quoted Republican strategist Dan Schnur, who suggested that Giuliani is able to appear more "ambivalen[t]" than McCain on the escalation issue simply because Giuliani does not have to face the binary decision of a vote: "Giuliani may be in the best position of any of the Republican primary candidates on this because he uses very strong language in support of the war and its goals, but he doesn't have to take simple up-or-down votes, like McCain does. ... He can voice the same ambivalence the voters feel."
Rich's column
In his column, Rich acknowledged that Giuliani supported the Iraq war but said he was not a "cheerleader" for the war:
Mr. Giuliani is also a war supporter and even contributed a Brownie of his own to the fiasco, the now disgraced [former New York City Police Commissioner] Bernard Kerik, who helped botch the training of the Iraqi police. But, unlike Mr. McCain, Mr. Giuliani isn't dogged by questions about Iraq. To voters, his [Giuliani's] war history begins and ends with the war against the enemy that actually attacked America on 9/11. He wasn't a cheerleader for the subsequent detour into Iraq, wasn't in office once the war started, and actively avoids speaking about it in any detail.
However, Giuliani spoke out in favor of regime change in Iraq "earlier" rather than "later" in 2002. The Journal News of Westchester County, New York, reported on September 8, 2002, that Giuliani had said a week earlier, "Our goal has to be to unseat Saddam Hussein and to end his regime." On the October 12, 2002, edition of Fox News' Fox Wire, Giuliani told host Rita Cosby: "If you're going to end global terrorism, you have to remove Saddam Hussein from power, otherwise, we're just going to be facing a bigger problem two, three, four and five years from now. Confronting people like Saddam Hussein earlier is safer than confronting them later."
Moreover, Rich suggested that voters do not associate Giuliani with the war in Iraq and only "with the war against the enemy that actually attacked America on 9/11." The statement ignores that Giuliani has repeatedly tied 9-11 to the war in Iraq and invoked 9-11 to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Newsweek reported in the September 9, 2002, issue of the magazine that Giuliani suggested that those opposed to "eliminating Saddam Hussein's regime ... militarily" had a "pre-September 11" mindset:
I think there's no question that in the right way and in the right time our goal has to be eliminating Saddam Hussein's regime. I think the only way it can be done is militarily. I think the current debate may be a function of the fact that we're further away from September 11. It's almost like a throwback to where we were pre-September 11 -- let's pretend we live in a world different from the one in which we live.
On September 21, 2002, Newsday reported that Giuliani said that Bush's Iraq policy was a "question of self defense" and that "[y]ou have to take pre-emptive action."
Similarly, in his 2004 Republican National Convention speech, Giuliani suggested that "Saddam Hussein's reign of terror" was related to "the barbaric terrorists who attacked us," as Media Matters noted.
More recently, on the February 5 edition of Hannity & Colmes, Giuliani again tied the Iraq war to the 9-11 attacks, saying that "the reality of" the Iraq war is that "we're at war because they're at war with us." Giuliani's evidence that "[t]hey want to ... kill us" was that "they did on September 11, and they did a long time before September 11. Way back in 1993, they came to this city and killed people." However, there is no evidence that Saddam's regime was involved with the 9-11 attacks. In its September 8, 2006, report, the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that "Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qa'ida and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qa'ida to provide material or operational support," and that "[n]o postwar information indicates that Iraq intended to use al-Qa'ida or any other terrorist group to strike the United States homeland before or during Operation Iraqi Freedom."
From the Newsweek cover story:
After a slow start, Giuliani's candidacy has gained ground in recent weeks, thanks in part to former front runner John McCain's staunch advocacy for escalating the troop presence in Iraq and the emerging impression that none of the top-tier candidates (Giuliani, McCain, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney) is a true believer on social issues. In the new NEWSWEEK Poll, Giuliani leads McCain by 25 points (59 to 34 percent) as the choice of registered Republicans and voters leaning Republican for the party's nomination, while Romney trails both men by more than 30 points.
And then came the cold horror of September 11. In those morning and midday hours Giuliani was transformed into the man of destiny he'd seemed to always believe himself to be. Some New Yorkers will remember that awful day as a sheer struggle for survival, a crazed exodus from lower Manhattan. Others will recall the frantic search for a loved one feared to be in one of the towers or on one of the doomed planes. But when the vast majority of Americans look back on 9/11, they will, for the ages, think of Giuliani walking through ash and soot. He was honest, sad and strong; he was heroic. Alone that night, before going to bed, he read Churchill's May 1940 speech to the House of Commons: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
September 11 made Giuliani untouchable. Queen Elizabeth named him an honorary knight. French President Jacques Chirac called him "Rudy the Rock." He became a fixture at Republican rallies around the country in the elections of 2002, 2004--the year the GOP convention came to Madison Square Garden--and 2006. Once reviled by his party for his moderate views, he leapt to the top of opinion polls of potential 2008 Republican nominees.
Will conventional considerations--that is, the ordinary expectations voters have of presidential candidates--apply to Giuliani, or does 9/11 loom so large in the national consciousness even now that Americans will give the mayor a pass on the temperament question in favor of a man who is both strong and competent? (It is hard to imagine a President Giuliani botching the response to Katrina in the way President Bush did.)
The numbers may be strong now, but as British Prime Minister Harold Wilson used to say, a week is an eternity in politics, much less a year. At the event last month in South Carolina, Giuliani looked unsteady as he fielded questions on jobs, immigration and free trade. He still seems un-comfortable when coaxed off his national-security script. But no one knows better than Giuliani that every day is not 9/11, and while the crises of a campaign may seem inane, they are far from inconsequential. In the coming months, there will be a million small disasters--ways to falter or chances to become a man of destiny once more.
From Rich's New York Times column:
Senator McCain, who, unlike Senator Clinton, fervently supports the war and the surge, is morbidly aware of his predicament. This once-ebullient politician has been off his game since a conspicuously listless January ''Meet the Press'' appearance; on Thursday, he had to publicly apologize after telling David Letterman, in an unguarded moment of genuine straight talk, that American lives were being ''wasted'' in Iraq. (Barack Obama had already spoken the same truth and given the same pro forma apology.) Last week a Washington Post-ABC News Poll confirmed Mr. McCain's worst political fears. Rudy Giuliani now leads him two to one among Republicans, a tripling of Mr. Giuliani's lead in a single month.
Mr. Giuliani is also a war supporter and even contributed a Brownie of his own to the fiasco, the now disgraced Bernard Kerik, who helped botch the training of the Iraqi police. But, unlike Mr. McCain, Mr. Giuliani isn't dogged by questions about Iraq. To voters, his war history begins and ends with the war against the enemy that actually attacked America on 9/11. He wasn't a cheerleader for the subsequent detour into Iraq, wasn't in office once the war started, and actively avoids speaking about it in any detail.
What makes Mr. Giuliani's rise particularly startling is that his liberal views and messy personal history are thought to make him a nonstarter with his own party faithful. These handicaps haven't kicked in, the Beltway explanation has it, because benighted Republican voters don't yet really know that ''America's mayor'' once married a cousin or that he describes himself as ''pro-choice.'' But perhaps these voters aren't as ignorant as Washington thinks. After the flameouts of Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, Rick Santorum, Ralph Reed and other Bible-thumping politicos who threw themselves on the altars of Terri Schiavo or Jack Abramoff, maybe most Republicans could use a rest from the moral brigade. Maybe these voters, too, care more about the right to life of troops thrust into an Iraqi civil war than that of discarded embryos used in stem-cell research.
From the February 5 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Let me ask about Iraq. You've generally been very supportive of the president and the Iraq war. Is there anything you would have done differently? Do you think there's been any mistakes made?
GIULIANI: Well, sure, the president has explained the mistakes that were made. I mean --
HANNITY: If you were in this situation -- if you were the president?
GIULIANI: I think he could go back and, as we develop positions and we explain things, I think it's quite appropriate to go back and explain, "Well, I might have done it this way, or I might have done it with more troops, or I might have done it some other way."
But here's -- here's the reality of it: We're at war. And we're at war because they're at war with us. I mean, sometimes, when you listen to these debates in Congress, and you listen to the politicians debating, you sort of get the impression that they -- they think we're in control of whether we're at war or not.
It doesn't matter what we think. They're at war with us. They want to come here and kill us. And they did on September 11, and they did a long time before September 11, way back in 1993, they came to this city and killed people.
So, we've got to put Iraq in the context of a much broader picture than just Iraq. And getting Iraq correctly -- in other words, getting stability there -- is real important. And I support -- I support what the president has asked for support to do and what General Petraeus has asked for support to do, not because there's any guarantee it's going to work. There's never any guarantee in -- at war.
But if we can come out with a -- with a correct solution or a better solution in Iraq, it's going to make the whole war on terror go -- go better. We got to get beyond it. We got to get beyond Iraq.
HANNITY: In essence, have people forgotten?
GIULIANI: It's natural, right? I mean, you have a terrible -- a terrible attack like September 11, 2001. Right in the aftermath of it, there's tremendous unity. We understand that we have to be on offense against terrorists, that we have to make it bipartisan, that it isn't about being a Democrat or Republican. It's about being an American.
Now, you get further away, and that lesson isn't as vivid. And all wars have that happen. This is a difficult thing to do, but we've got to start getting beyond Iraq.
We've got to be thinking about Iran. We have to be thinking about Syria. We have to be thinking about Pakistan and Afghanistan and making sure that the transition in Afghanistan goes correctly. We have to be ready for the fact that whatever happens in Iraq, success or failure -- success will help us in the war on terror. Failure will hurt us. But the war is still going to go on. They're still going to want to come here and kill us.

Gaea's Harvest bar tastes good -- but is it good for you?
Edibles are a big part of the medical marijuana industry, and as a companion piece to Mile Highs and Lows, our weekly dispensary review, Westword will be serving up occasional edible reviews. Enjoy this first taste as William Breathes turns his critical eye - and tastebuds - to Gaea's Harvest Almondeus Milk Chocolate and Almond Bar:
Some of the more professional-looking mmj candy bars available around town come from Gaea's Harvest. Although the slick packaging had caught my eye before, I hadn't actually bought one until I visited Mile High Medical -- when I couldn't resist the dangerously delicious milk chocolate and almond bar.
Even after it sat in my fridge for an hour, the first bite was a gooey, chocolate mess (the ginger paste was responsible for that melting texture) with a definite ganja taste, which was soon overpowered by the rich chocolate and ambrosia honey.
Since the wrapper says the treat contains two grams of concentrated cannabis in the form of ganja coconut oil -- and has a "level 4" in potency -- I started out with half of a bar. But 45 minutes after eating it, I was merely a bit sleepy, with a slight, floating feeling. So I finished off the bar, and two hours later, I was feeling very contented and was no longer stressing over deadlines. Still, I expected more. This bar is a rich, textured snack and a good way to boost your THC levels, but I don't think I'd look to it for a day's source of medicine.

text: CryptosporidiosisWhat is cryptosporidiosis?Cryptosporidiosis is an infection that causes diarrhea. It is sometimes called Crypto. It is caused by a parasite found in stool. You can get this infection after eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with stool. This includes swallowing water while swimming. You can also get infected if you touch things or surfaces contaminated with stool. You can also get the infection from another person.The parasite has an outer shell. Because of this, using chlorine to clean water may not kill the parasite. Crypto is one of the most common causes of waterborne disease in the U.S.What causes cryptosporidiosis?Cryptosporidiosis is caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium. Once inside your body, the parasite passes through your digestive tract and infects your stool. Anything contaminated with the infected stool can pass the infection on to other people.Who is at risk for cryptosporidiosis?The parasite is found throughout the world. But you are more likely to get the infection if you travel to rural areas in developing countries. Or if you often eat or drink in areas where sanitation is poor. Outbreaks have also occurred in the U.S. when water supplies or swimming pools become infected.The disease is spread by accidentally swallowing anything that has come into contact with the stool of a person or animal with the infection. This includes:Swallowing water contaminated with the parasite. The parasite can be found in swimming pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams contaminated with sewage or stool.Eating uncooked foods tainted with the parasite.Swallowing the parasite picked up from surfaces contaminated with the stool of an infected person. This includes bathroom fixtures, changing tables, and diaper pails.Cryptosporidiosis is normally not a serious disease in healthy people. But it can lead to a life-threatening illness for people with a weak immune system. Those at risk are:People with HIV/AIDSCancer and transplant patients who are taking certain medicines that suppress the immune systemPeople with inherited diseases that affect the immune systemWhat are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis?Each person may have slightly different symptoms. These are the most common symptoms:DiarrheaLoose or watery stoolsVomitingWeight lossStomach crampsFeverYou may not have any symptoms. If symptoms do develop, they often last about 2 weeks and sometimes longer. But even if you have no symptoms, the parasite is passed in your stool for up to 2 months. During this time you are at risk of spreading the infection to others.How is cryptosporidiosis diagnosed?Your healthcare provider will look at a stool sample. Sometimes multiple stool samples (usually 3) will be needed since this parasite is found only intermittently in the stool. You will need special testing because tests for this disease are not routinely done in labs.How is cryptosporidiosis treated?Most people with a healthy immune system do not need to be treated as cryptosporidiosis will resolve on its own. In those who have weak immune systems, the focus of treatment is often on getting the immunity back. Otherwise, a medicine called nitazoxanide can be used to treat this parasite. Your healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment for you based on:How old you areYour overall health and past healthHow sick you areHow well you can handle specific medicines, procedures, or therapiesHow long the condition is expected to lastYour opinion or preferenceNo treatment works fully against the infection. If you have a healthy immune system, you will likely recover on your own. People who are in poor health or have a weak immune system may get a more serious infection. In some cases, you may need to take medicine for diarrhea. It's important to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.Can cryptosporidiosis be prevented?There is no vaccine to prevent cryptosporidiosis. The best way to protect yourself is with good personal hygiene. Also:Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet or changing diapers.Wash your hands thoroughly before eating or making food.Wash and peel all raw fruits and vegetables before eating.Do not drink water from lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams, unless they have been filtered and chemically treated.Do not drink any water or eat any food that may be tainted.When traveling to countries where the water supply may be unsafe, do not drink unboiled tap water. Also do not eat any raw foods washed with tap water. Choose steaming hot drinks, such as coffee and tea, and pasteurized fruit drinks. Make sure bottled water is safe to drink.Many home water filters can remove Cryptosporidium. Read the label for details.When should I call my healthcare provider?Call your healthcare provider right away if your symptoms return or get worse, or you have new ones.Key pointsCryptosporidiosis is an infection that causes diarrhea. It is caused by a parasite.Most people get the parasite after swallowing food or water tainted with stool. This includes swallowing water while swimming.Diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss are the most common symptoms.Dehydration is the main complication.Good personal hygiene can help prevent it. You should also stay away from unclean water sources.Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.
