When it first hits the palate, you'll notice lively acidity that's combined with flavors of peach and lemon meringue, complemented by a touch of gingerbread. Need we say more?

Speakeasy Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750mlFor the Willett family, distilling craft whiskey is a family tradition. During Reconstruction, John David Willett — the family patriarch — began distilling whiskey at the Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery, which was situated just outside of Louisville, Kentucky. In 1898, his son, A. Lambert Willett — who was 15 years old at the time — began following in his father's footsteps. Three decades later, Lambert, together with his son, Thompson purchased a farm on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, and began construction of the Willett Distilling Company. While the Willett Distilling Company eventually changed its name to Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, the family tradition lives on — Even Kulsveen, the current owner of KBD, is Thompson Willett's son-in-law. In keeping with family tradition, Speakeasy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an authentic Kentucky straight bourbon. Aged for a minimum of four years, the bourbon has a sweet caramel aroma, with touches of vanilla, coffee, and butterscotch. The aroma gives way to notes of apples, pears, and citrus on the palate, which are complemented by undertones of caramel, cinnamon, and spices. The finish is long and elegant, with a warming touch. With no added coloring or flavoring, Speakeasy is the quintessential American spirit.

Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2019 750ml BottleLimestone Branch Distilling Co. has impressed with its limited release bourbons over the past three years. Over this time they've reused, and more interestingly, re-charred the same barrels each year to finish their bourbon for their limited releases. Surprisingly, this didn't create a miss-mash of convoluted flavors but instead created a warm and potent-tasting whiskey that were some of my favorite finished whiskeys each year they were released. In 2019, they took a different approach, and according to the company, poached some of their best 9 and 12-year-old barrels to create this year's blend. This is a straightforward blend that presents its flavors well, is easy-drinking, but also might not necessarily blow you away. It definitely leans on the darker, heavier side of the flavor wheel with its oak, chocolate, and spice. Thankfully there are veins of sweetness throughout that provide a sudden and welcomed contrast. In any other year, this year's Yellowstone Limited Edition would probably make more of a splash. It just comes at a time when many other blends have been hitting it out of the park (Little Book Chapter 3, Lux Row Double Barrel, and Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch). Still, that doesn't diminish what this release does well. It delivers a nicely constructed, and gentle overall intensity bourbon that makes it a really nice sipper. Nose : Cherry, vanilla custard, oak, and light orange citrus. Warming and pleasant, with a gentle intensity. Palate : Oak, dark chocolate, burnt caramel, dark sweet fruit, and leather. It has a soft delivery with a thin mouthfeel and tastes less than its stated proof. Finish : Spice, oak, vanilla, and cinnamon. Medium length finish that is slightly dry with a slow ramp-up of heat.
Corner Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 year old 750mlThe enigmatic Corner Creek brand was bottled for years at a famous little family-owned distillery in Bardstown. Recently the brand moved production to the Kentucky Artisan Distillery in Crestwood production and relaunched with this new 10-year-old expression. The source is a secret, but there's no question that Corner Creek has the connections to find some seriously delicious bourbon and this new expression is leaps and bounds ahead of the previous no-age-stated Corner Creek. They've selected their choicest stocks for this product and bottled them without chill-filtration. Even at 88 proof, this bourbon exhibits great richness and texture, wonderful depth, and a believable balance. This is the sort of bourbon that appeals to the most novice drinker (due to its approachable character) but will be interesting enough to satisfy even the most jaded bourbon nut. Please note that due to the lack of filtration you'll notice some haziness in the whiskey. This is completely normal and means your bourbon is packed with flavor. K&L is the only store in California selling this exceptional offering.

Penfolds Grange 2012 750mlColor: Dense and imposing. Dark... RED! Nose: Unmistakably, it is what it is. In a word, Grange. (Almost) all unleashed immediately upon the first splash into the glass - exuberant, lifted, flamboyant. An aromatic 'multi-cultural' chromatogram brazenly unfolds: First, enticing barrel ferment formics and balsamics, spliced with soy, tomato puree, black olive and liquorice (Dutch?). Then, the exotics - wafts of tiramisu/mascarpone/zabaglione (Italy?), replete with freshly roasted hazelnut and ground coffee beans (Kenya?) 30 seconds later... Palate: Fresh and refined. Nervy. Red liquorice, gravy reduction flavours and black olive tapenade to the fore. And then, just so much more! Where to start? Compelling depth - weighty/voluminous/fleshy - structurally complete and even throughout. A radiant inner sheen, yet still assertive - a film encrusted with dusty, softened tannins that coat tongue. Great length. A loss of innocence, as sculptured oak (purity/clean) and a boundless array of red fruits, congeal into a darkened pool of (un)known and (un)savoury delights! Unashamedly and quite blatantly THE wine of this year's Penfolds 2016 new releases! Enough said.

This propulsion is crammed with tell-tale barrel ferment, V.A. and formic Grange markers - all in balance, all respectful of fruit and oak. And yet, so 'classy' - a brightness, a sheen, a gloss, a raciness - belying both age and upbringing (élevage).

Opus One Napa Valley Red 2016 750mlThe Opus One 2016 is remarkably elegant and bright offering sumptuous aromas of fresh red and blue fruit, baking spices and vanilla, and a delicate fragrance of spring florals. The initial bouquet is augmented by more nuanced notes of sage, rosemary, and black olive.

Penfolds Grange 2014 750mlDeep plush garnet throughout from core to rim. Quite simply, an unmistakable youthful 'Grange' nose. Awakened primary fruits and stylish oak interlocked and indistinguishable. As expected. Savoury, not fruity. Tastes flavours remind of slow cooked beef ragout, chicken liver game terrine. Red liquorice also apparent. Integrated oak - spicy, almost 'non-American' oak ... but it is. As it always is. A core of 100% new Quercus alba. Poised yet powerful. A balanced, tightly-knit and woven structural 'tapestry'. Not to be constrained by dimension or frame. Tannins with attitude! Nonetheless respectful. Type? Slatey tannins ... alluvial, silty (certainly not muddy!). Long and lingering - tactile impressions indistinguishably and slowly fuse/merge into an aftertaste memory. Until the next sip!

Penfolds Grange Vertical 3 Pack 2012/2013/2014 2012 3 pack 750mlThe original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia's most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilizing fully-ripe, intensely-flavored and structured Shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognized as one of the most consistent of the world's great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. GRANGE 2012 - "Complete. Stylistically, most closely aligned to the 1963 Grange and yet stridently extolling its personality. I can't quite remember when or where… and probably not about wine, but recently scribed: Luxury that treads lightly!" -PETER GAGO, PENFOLDS CHIEF WINEMAKER GRANGE 2013 - "Undoubtedly will soon be universally proclaimed to be a classic 'Penfolds vintage' … and indeed over time certified a classic 'Grange vintage'! Not unlike the 2008 Grange – á la style / weight / disposition / cellarability. Sensorially supersaturated, verging on overwhelmingly generous. Beware - superlatives abound. No matter, despite the chatter, a seriously very good drink! Indulge without guilt." - PETER GAGO, PENFOLDS CHIEF WINEMAKER
Lamborn Family Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage XIV 2016 750ml"Rich and fragrant notes of blueberry and blackberry permeate the glass, accentuated by light mocha and vanilla undertones. The palate is greeted with deeply rich blue and black fruits, a whisper of tart cherry, and superseded by a dense and chewy lingering mouthfeel from front to back. The medium toast French oak accompanies the 'Howell Mountain dust' and moderate silky tannins. An enchanting mountaintop Cabernet, this lavish and elegant wine well-represents the remarkable Lamborn vineyard." - Heidi Barrett, winemaker (Screaming Eagle Wine Maker ) The near-perfect 2016 growing season started early, saw ideal weather conditions throughout, and wrapped up as the Valley's first significant fall rainstorm arrived on October 14th. Thanks to a relatively steady and mild July and August, followed by a series of warm days at the end of the growing season, vineyards were able to progress to perfect ripeness. Wines from the 2016 vintage are developing beautifully and vintners are pinching themselves and smiling for the gift Mother Nature has given us: a fifth consecutive vintage of stellar quality Napa Valley wines. We hope you enjoy our 14th vintage of Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon ! 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon

Game of Thrones!
The Game of Thrones Whisky Collection Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost House Stark 750mlHouse Stark's resiliency, strength and ability to thrive under the most intense situations are greatly shaped by Winterfell's frigid temperatures. Dalwhinnie, known for being one of the highest distilleries in all of Scotland is cold and remote much like The North where House Stark calls home, making the two an iconic pairing. Extreme conditions are responsible for shaping the signature Dalwhinnie Winter's Frost honeyed sweetness and spicy warmth. Naturally, it's best served chilled or over ice. Honey and fresh fig develop on the palate followed by a delicious maltiness and rich fruit cake.
The Game of Thrones Whisky Collection Lagavulin House Lannister 9 year old 750mlLagavulin is one of the most legendary single malt brands and has been crafted on the shores of Islay for more than 200 years - mirroring the meticulous calculation and tenacity employed by the Lannister's in their rise to conquer the Iron Throne. This single malt whisky is a roaring single malt that recalls the Lannister's riches and is best served neat or with a single drop of water. Characteristic Lagavulin sweet smoke explodes on the nose with a little more brine than the other expressions. The palate opens with smoked caramelized banana and heavy vanilla and burnt marshmallow which subside into a light dry, slightly salted caramel.
The Game of Thrones Whisky Collection Talisker Select Reserve House Greyjoy 750mlHouse Greyjoy rules the Iron Islands and worships the Drowned God. Talisker was a natural pair for House Greyjoy as this single malt is distilled on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote and rugged areas of Scotland. The layered flavors and signature maritime character of Talisker Select Reserve are the result of its wave-battered shores. This liquid is an intense smoky single malt scotch with spicy, powerful and sweet elements combined with maritime flavors. Dry Sichuan peppery smoke and dark chocolate on the nose. On the palate the salted caramel with chili flakes explode into a smoky fruit cake of spice and the finish is long and complex with a lasting character of leather.

Orange and clove open on the nose but on the palate there's red berry compote and vanilla cheesecake with a pronounced cereal spice finish.
The Game of Thrones Whisky Collection Cardhu Gold Reserve House Targaryen 750mlBaked apple with baking spices open on the first nosing than transforms on the palate into a rich caramel character with hints of clove, red apple and a gentle nuttiness. Fueled by the same fiery spirit of the fierce female leadership of Daenerys Targaryen, this single malt celebrates legendary women and their unwavering perseverance. The Cardhu Distillery was pioneered by Helen Cumming and her daughter-in-law Elizabeth during the 1800s, a time when the whisky industry was almost entirely male-dominated.
The Game of Thrones Whisky Collection Oban Bay Reserve The Night's Watch 750mlThe Oban distillery sits beneath the steep cliff that overlooks the bay in the frontier between the west Highlands and the Islands of Scotland, separating land and sea, just as Castle Black, home of The Night's Watch, sits between Westeros and the lands beyond The Wall. The liquid's richness is balanced with a woody, spicy dryness that The Night's Watch could enjoy even on the coldest of nights. Rich notes of cherry pie and candied orange peel open up on the palate that drifts into a wonderful crème caramel and a wisp of charred oak.
Johnnie Walker Game Of Thrones A Song Of Ice Blended Scotch Whiskey 750mlJohnnie Walker A Song of Ice features single malts from Clynelish, one of Scotland's most northern distilleries, and exudes a crisp, clean taste like the unforgiving force of ice that shapes mountains and stops rivers. The new blend has an ABV of 40.2% and the bottle design evokes an icy setting with frosted blue and gray colors inspired by the North, known for its cold winters and frozen landscapes.

AIX Provance Rosé 2019 750mlAIX Rosé is made in the Provence region of France, just an hour East from the historical city of Aix-en-Provence. AIX was founded in 1880 with the first vines planted in 1973. The vineyard consists of 185 acres of vineyard and is one of the largest domaines in the famous AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. These vineyards are non-irrigated and on a plateau at an elevation of 1,400 feet above sea level. The mistral winds keep the clusters dry and healthy. The soils vary from sandy, chalky soil to limestone and are highly acidic. AIX nurtures its heritage and has a passion and dedication to make the best Provence rosé. As part of this, all of their grapes are sustainably farmed. AIX Rosé is produced in the typical Provencial style using the direct pressing method. To avoid oxidation, the grapes are cold-soaked and chilled to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The grape clusters are then destemmed before pressing and are macerated only at low temperatures for 5 to 6 hours. Fermentation is temperature-controlled in stainless steel tanks for 12 to 16 days at 57 degrees to keep the maximum fragility in the nose using monocepage fermentation. To get that beautiful pale pink color Provence Rosés are known for, AIX uses cold stabilization. They maintain the must in a closed tank for one week at around 35 degrees with the lees suspended with a neutral gas. The lees give a lot of aromas and a great body to the wine. The wine is then aged in a stainless steel tank for 2 to 3 weeks before bottling resulting in an AIX Rosé that is elegantly tasty and the perfect wine to drink all year long. TASTING NOTE : A fragrant and well-balanced wine, AIX's hypnotizing salmon pink color reveals a fruity freshness. The nose is delightfully fragrant with delicate balance and crisp acidity. Enjoy the notes of soft, ripe summer fruits particularly watermelon and strawberries. FOOD PAIRING : Salad, grilled fish, poultry, and Asian foods, especially sushi and curry dishes.

Alligator Snapping Turtle
Macrochelys temminckii
About This Animal
SIZE: Males to 250 lbs (113.4 kg), Females to 50 lbs (22.7 kg)
RANGE: Gulf of Mexico drainage basins of the southeastern United States
HABITAT: Large rivers, bayous and lakes
DIET: Freshwater mollusks, fish, turtles, small vertebrates and carrion
ON EXHIBIT: Delta Swamp and Turtle Gallery in River Journey
Alligator snapping turtles live in rivers whose water drains into the Gulf of Mexico. The adults hunt in the deep water of rivers, lakes, swamps, ponds and bayous where plants and algae enhance their camouflage. Best known for an adaptation that allows it to lure fish into its mouth, the alligator snapper is a bottom dweller that surfaces to breathe. To catch a fish, the turtle will sit very still in the depths of a pond or river for up to 50 minutes. There it waits patiently, holding its mouth open and wiggling the small, pink, worm-like appendage on its tongue to lure passing fish. And if a fish sees the fake worm and swims in to eat it...Wham! The fish becomes the dinner instead of the diner!
Once heavily collected for its meat, the alligator snapping turtle is protected in all of the states where it lives. Populations have been seriously impacted due to overharvesting.

Facebook's stock has risen 7 percent despite 850 million shares released on the stock market.
Shares of Facebook are (as of this writing) $21.96, or up $2.00, or 9 percent, from their previous dismal value of less than $20. Facebook went public in May at $38 a share and hasn't hit that price since, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
The biggest lock up period for Facebook stock expired Wednesday, freeing up 852 million shares of stock for sale. Lock ups are used after IPOs to prevent stock volatility -- or basically all shareholders selling at once and tanking the stock.
However, the rise shouldn't be seen as a sign the stock is a steady one, analysts caution.
"Not everyone is running for the door, but I suspect more will sell in the coming days or weeks," says Daniel Bradley, professor of finance at the University of South Florida, told USA Today. "Given that the stock price is essentially cut in half from the IPO price, I would think that would prevent some selling that otherwise would have taken place."
Perhaps Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg had another word with employees to wait before selling off and causing a panic. However, it seems Facebook execs and even Zuckerberg himself selling off 30.2 million shares just before his wedding, may have had a larger hand in lowering the price of stock.

Once again we have some Latvian surnames for a more obscure Latvian letter of the alphabet for the Family History Through the Alphabet challenge. "Ū" is a long U sound.
ŪDENS means "water". In old orthography, it would have been written as Uhden or Uhdens. In Cyrillic, it would be Уденс. I have seen this name in Jaunsalaca and Lugaži.
ŪDRS is somewhat more common – it means "otter". In old orthography, it could be Uhdr, Uhder, Uhdris. In Cyrillic, it would be Удрис. I have seen this name in Lāde, Limbaži, Meirāni, Nabe, Pāle, Sēļi and Vecpiebalga.

With news of the recent Africanized honey bee attacks, we'd like to share these important recommendations from the United States Department of Agriculture.
Follow these steps if you are attacked by a group of honey bees:
1. RUN away quickly. Do not stop to help others. However, small children and the disabled may need some assistance.
2. As you are running, pull your shirt up over your head to protect your face, but make sure it does not slow your progress. This will help keep the bees from targeting the sensitive areas around your head and eyes.
3. Continue to RUN. Do not stop running until you reach shelter, such as a vehicle or building. A few bees may follow you indoors. However, if you run to a well-lit area, the bees will tend to become confused and fly to windows.Do not jump into water! The bees will wait for you to come up for air. If you are trapped for some reason, cover up with blankets, sleeping bags, clothes, or whatever else is immediately available.
4. Do not swat at the bees or flail your arms. Bees are attracted to movement and crushed bees emit a smell that will attract more bees.
5. Once you have reached shelter or have outrun the bees, remove all stingers. When a honey bees stings, it leaves its stinger in the skin. This kills the honey bee so it can't sting again, but it also means that venom continues to enter into the wound for a short time.
6. Do not pull stingers out with tweezers or your fingers. This will only squeeze more venom into the wound. Instead, scrape the stinger out sideways using your fingernail, the edge of a credit card, a dull knife blade or other straight-edged object.
7. If you see someone being attacked by bees, encourage them to run away or seek shelter. Do not attempt to rescue them yourself. Call 911 to report a serious stinging attack. The emergency response personnel in your area have probably been trained to handle bee attacks.
8. If you have been stung more than 15 times, or are feeling ill, or if you have any reason to believe you may be allergic to bee stings, seek medical attention immediately. The average person can safely tolerate 10 stings per pound of body weight. This means that although 500 stings can kill a child, the average adult could withstand more than 1100 stings.

'Tis the season for giving, and that means shopping for special, unique gifts for our loved ones. Who doesn't have visions of a spouse, friend, or niece or grandchild opening a beautifully wrapped box with an adorable kitten inside, or of covering their eyes and leading them into a room where a puppy or a cat wearing a big bow is waiting. We aren't to blame—we have these very images of holiday serenity lingering from our own childhood as well as sentimental TV commercials. In a pet, it seems we can give the gift of unconditional love, especially to a child.
Now, here's a dose of reality: right now, animal shelters are getting ready for a flood of animal surrenders right after the holiday season. The intended happy surprise turns out to be just a surprise—and not necessarily a pleasant one. The solution to the problem for many families is to get rid of the unwanted pet. What's up with that?
• The holidays are already hectic; it's not a good time to bring in a new pet that needs to feel safe and secure in its new environment, and more importantly, needs quiet one-on-one time with its new family.
• The recipient—even though he or she may have said that they'd love to get a pet, doesn't actually want such a serious commitment in an already-busy life, especially a schedule- and travel-disruptor like a pet that needs to go outside on time.
• A household member may be or become allergic to the new pet.
• Some children become frightened of the strange new creature, which in turn spooks the new pet, creating an air of distrust for all involved.
• Even though children ask for pets, the parents must be involved in the decision; not all kids are ready for the responsibility, and the parents may not want to get stuck with it either. Ultimately, no one takes care of the pet, and it ends up shut in a basement, tied up in the yard, abandoned, or relinquished.
• Although the previous guardian's paperwork might say the pet was good with kids, its actual socialization might not have included what the next child wanted from a pet when begging for a live Christmas present (playing dress-up, putting in a stroller, etc.).
• Resident animals in the home also get the short end of the stick. If any significant holiday activity was going on in the home, i.e., family staying over, holiday parties, etc., resident pets (especially cats) were already having tough time adapting their sense of "stable-sameness" to the unusual activities. Add another animal, especially of the same species, and—more often than not—disaster is imminent.
• Winter is not puppy or kitten season; the young animals that are available at Christmas time very likely come from puppy or kitten mills—and may continue to surprise the new guardian with serious health and behavior issues. This is virtually guaranteed to be the case if the puppy is a breed that was recently featured in a movie, such as 101 Dalmations, Marley and Me, or Beverly Hills Chihuahua. To avoid pets from mills, never ever buy a dog or cat from a pet store.
Now you know the reasons not to surprise family and other loved ones with animals as gifts, the good news is that there are many ways to bring four-legged love home for the holidays without such risk.
For a creative surprise, give a gift certificate for pet supplies; or present them with a collar and leash or a package of cat toys. When the recipient looks confused, you can reveal that the real present is a trip to the shelter plus the adoption fee, to choose a furry friend.
Many animal shelters have gift certificates you can buy to place in a box instead of an animal. These generally cover the cost of adoption, and may include spay/neuter and initial vaccines (but be sure to read our article on vaccination first!). If your local shelter doesn't offer gift certificates, make one yourself. That way, the next day or next week—or whenever the time is right—your loved one can look for a new companion.
Nowadays, many shelters have websites with pictures of their adoptable animals, so the whole family can go online and check out the choices. Or browse Petfinders, the original online adoption site. There is also empowerment in a child in going to a shelter and picking out his or her own companion. It's also a perfect time to let them know that caring for a living being requires responsibility. It's never too early to instill the concept of stewardship.
It is essential to introduce everyone who lives in the home, from children to housemates to other pets, to the new pet before adoption. In fact, many shelters require this. There's nothing to lose, but important lessons to gain. For instance, the adoptive family may discover that the resident dog requires a bit of work on the "down-stay" so that it doesn't relentlessly pursue the new addition. A housemate's allergy may or may not act up in the presence of specific animals.
This method also allows time to prepare the home itself before bringing a new pet in.
Remember, no surprises are good surprises when it comes to animals this holiday season. Have a great one, and congratulations to all of you who bring a homeless pet into your heart and home this year!

On the last Fan Event for Jin's new single HEY WHAT'S UP!, held in Osaka on August 22th, Jin Akanishi he took the opportunity to clarify some things regarding his marriage, things he wasn't able to tell publicly during the course of his one and a half year hiatus.
One of those is the confirmation that his marriage with Meisa Kuroki was not a shot gun marriage and that he proposed to her even before they found out that she's pregnant. He also mentioned that meeting her was a work of fate. The reports also say that he created a song for their baby girl, Theia.
On another note, he added: "My fans are really something. A lot of things have happened, and who knows what will happen in the future... No matter what I will definitely come back. Rest assured, please continue to be a fan of mine with confidence".
A bunch of fans who attended the event said that this is a Jin who is comfortable in his own skin, happy, content, proud of his work, and very happy.

This year I'm trying to come up with a new idea for the mapmaking contest, since the first five have all been basically the same.
My idea is this, though it's certainly not laid out in concrete: a sort of blind co-operative mapping contest.
The basic structure would work like this: unlike in previous years, people would have to sign up by a deadline. Each contestant would then build the beginnings of a map, with a certain polygon count limit. By a given deadline, they would all submit their maps. They would then receive a random contestant's entry and have to finish making that map, though they wouldn't know whose map they had.
Make sense? Each contestant would be then scored twice: for their round 1 entry, they would be scored on their ability to establish a good map groundwork. For their round 2 entry, they would be scored on their ability to mesh with another mapper's style, and their ability to finish off a map. Basic concepts like aesthetics and flow would still be scored, but this year would focus on aspects of map design as much as it would focus on a quality final product.
This sounds like a shaky idea, but I'd rather not just have another year where the same four mappers get the top four slots again and everyone else gets discouraged. With this one, more people would have a shot, but the final judgment would still be individually assigned (i.e. you aren't too dependent on your partner's work). There would be no collaboration between mappers, so part of the challenge would be engineering a good product out of something unfamiliar.
Any other ideas to spice up this summer's contest would be greatly appreciated.

"Geneva" is the third studio album by the instrumental,post-rock group Russian Circles.The album consists of seven songs starting with "Fathom",an atmospheric introduction which prepares the listener to decode the feelings an instrumental album has to offer.
Unlike most instrumental albums which focus on technique perfection,Russian Circles attempt through their sound to make the listener explore something different than a perfectly composed album,they try to make one feel or even sense the atmosphere they are creating through their songs.
Russian Circles mainly focus on a slow progression of the songs themselves,like on "Geneva" where the sound is heavier in the start and then slowly flows into a more psychedelic-rock approach.On "Hexed All",the listener is travelling without destination or purpose,aiming only to feel the music,with the slow tempo it offers,and explore the nature of his thoughts or feelings."When The Mountain Comes To Muhhamad" is the most complex track of the album,building up an ideal atmosphere for a dream place,that the listener is about to experience.The last song "Philos" is the most suitable way out from the place our mind has led us,with its synthetic harmony,is putting an end to the mind-trip and slowly achieves actualization.
Overall," Geneva" proves that well composed instrumental albums can make one travel through imaginery places,identify his fears and finally return to reality,after his forty-six minute trip.Russian Circles create an ideal atmosphere through their synthetic virtues and post-rock sound,which will make the listener have a desire to travel in their harmonic world again and again.

What is an Advanced Evasion Technique (AET)? According to a McAfee survey, an awful lot of CIOs have absolutely no idea, confusing them with the more famous Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that have become an established term on many large organisations' worry list.
The survey of 800 professionals across the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Brazil, and South Africa found that only 70 percent were even sure they understood AETs, with 37 percent of those getting the definition wrong. This means that less than half of CIOs can define the term at all.
In fairness to CIOs, nobody has heard of AETs because they are, whisper it, pretty dull. They can be explained as subtle techniques designed to get around security boxes such as firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). Think of them as packet-level probes that aim to spot weakness in these products such as traffic flows they don't understand, get confused about or just don't notice.
Despite being mysterious and bespoke, they are not a new idea, dating back at least as far as IPS systems first appeared more than a decade ago. To the average Chinese APT hacker, they are useful techniques for spot of jobbing firewall pwning but definitely old school.
Opinions are divided on how important they are but the balance of probability is that they are very useful to hackers on occasion. Inconveniently, not many vendors talk about them - Finnish firm Stonesoft being the notable and singular exception to that rule until they were bought by McAfee last year. Since then the mantle has fallen to the Stonesoft tendency within the Intel subsidiary to continue the important work of talking them up at every possibly opportunity.
Those crazy Finnish Stonesoft guys just won't shut up about AETs. Even being bought by McAfee can't silence them.
But McAfee is undoubtedly right about the confusion factor. The survey found that 61 percent believed they had AET protection in place, with half of those thinking their IPS/IDS did this job. Many CIOs also incorrectly identify vendors they believe offer anti-AET protection when they don't.
"The simple truth is that AETs are a fact of life.It's shocking that the majority of CIOs and security professionals severely underestimated that there are 329,246 AETs, when in fact the total of known AETs is approximately 2,500 times that number or more than 800 million AETs and growing," said Professor Andrew Blyth of the University of South Wales, quoted by McAfee.
As it happens, Blyth was commissioned a year ago by Stonesoft to carry out a study on AETs, finding that many IPS are about as useful as a chocolate teapot when it comes to detecting them.
According to McAfee, the ignorance over AETs comes at a high price in terms of data breaches, an average of $931,000 per incident using its own research to be precise. This climbs to $2 million a pop in financial services.
The company concedes that such attacks aren't caused by AETs alone but sees the attack technique as an important piece of engineering for siphoning data out of networks without security systems detecting what is going on.
McAfee does at least now offer a free tool, Evader, that security teams can use to test their equipment against known AETs probes. CIOs, prepare to be shocked - and enlightened.
This story, "What are Advanced Evasion Techniques? Don't expect CIOs to know, says McAfee" was originally published by Techworld.com.

It didn't take me long and I eventually came across this great recipe for Banana Apple Loaf! This was a "piece of cake" to make, with the fruits and sour cream giving this loaf a gorgeous moist sponge which is bursting with flavour. If you happen to have all the ingredients to hand, this loaf cake really is worth a try. Perfect for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack with your cup of tea.
Banana Apple Loaf
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Thailand doesnt have epic waves but this spot is good by local standards. The lifestyle on Lanta is laid back and the waves good fun.The best waves are from April to November with the peak swell being June and July. There are a few spots still to be surfed and can be accessed by longtail. Nothing in Dec, Jan, Feb - unless you like a few inches.But good for SUP.
Good fun waves in an uncrowded beautiful spot. Coming into the main season they are excellent for beginners and those who just like to cruise.

Loved it! - Some nice waves here at Koh Lanta - Klong Dao beach, it can get rough after a good storm, but generally fun for all levels. Indeed the waves aren't epic, but sooooo much fun =) With Koh Lanta Watersports surfshop you'll be able to rent a board for all conditions and if there's no waves you can wind/kite surf as well! The people there are really great, they'll help you out with anything you need! Recommended!!!

Surfing Koh Lanta - Klong Dao Beach - Hi!
I visited Koh Lanta this year, which suprisingly, is a perfect spot for beginners. There is a left and right beach-break and no untertow. Furthermore, the beach and the sea is almost empty during low season (April-September), which are the best months for surfing.

Sankarea 12 – The ending and the beginning
July 2, 2012 Leave a comment
Sankarea has been a fascinating series, one that has had excellent episodes and story arcs, while also unfortunately having a few places where the plot as meandered and not gone very far. As a series it has largely focussed on the private family life that Rea has tried to escape from, and how her father has attempted to control everything about her life from the moment she was born. As a story it is as much about loss as it is about discovering new things and living through new and exciting experiences. The central irony of the story is that Rea must become the most unnatural girl possible in order to live the life of a normal girl. Her family life and the constant presence of her father have shut her off from the outside world, isolating her from everything that could be considered to be normal. While the boys at Chihiro's school may talk about her as being the perfect 'oujo-sama', that is little more than an a mask, something that was in part created by her everyday existence as a Sanka.

Designer Julia "Lady J" Gerard unveils her love for Rock-N-Roll and her dedication to promoting peace and harmony through fashion at this year's Downtown LA Fashion Week. Julia Gerard's designs, much like the designer herself, are unique and eternal with a rocker's edge that has graced the bodies of many celebrities as well as countless music videos, television shows and movies for over two decades. Her style is iconoclastic and symbolic to the Peace Movement and she prides on displaying that in each detail of her designs.
One thing that can be said about J Gerard is that strayed away from the standard norm of the way a designer presents his or her designs. The designer's choice in music selection brilliantly set the tone for the evening as the audience was listening to the sounds of the '70s. It was almost as if one was reverting back to the Woodstock era where there was peace, free love and nudity.
The first set of designs brought out models who wore hippie, flower child-inspired clothing in thigh-high boots with peace sign accessories such as an occasional necklace or even an embossed peace sign on the clothing. Even at one point in the show, a model graced the runway with attitude carrying a large bag full of bandanas as she threw them out into the crowd.
As the designs progressed on the runway, J Gerard's next set of designs bordered risqué as models graced the runway wearing minimal amount of clothing. Designs ranged from just a jacket with a skirt to a low-cut bustier exposing the breasts and a layered necklace with a full length dress. J Gerard definitely pushed the envelope with these designs and made a bold eye-catching statement.
In addition to her inspiration and her attention to the detail of the Peace Movement era, she incorporated modern-style bustier rocker outfits accompanied with long-flowing dress trains. Her use of colors and browns to signify fall worked seamlessly throughout the show.
Another design that captured the audience's attention was an elegant cocktail dress that had the peace sign embossed on the rear of the model; a nice added touch that let the audience know that " Lady J" is making her mark.
The overall presentation of J Gerard's fashion show lagged in a couple of spots as when a song would end, there would be some open space, but it didn't faze any of the models who kept their same style of energy throughout the entire show. The clothing was innovative and daring and allowed one to channel his or her inner rock star. Her love for the genre made this a worthy addition to this year's Downtown LA Fashion Week.
For more information on this iconoclastic artist/designer, please visit her at the following websites: http://onesheet.luthiersociety.com/jgerard and J Gerard's Peace Gallery studio at http://www.jgerarddesignstudio.com.

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to programming and have come across an error in my program that is throwing me for a loop. I've tested the code on a friend's computer and it worked but when I copy and pasted it onto my laptop suddenly my switch line is giving me an error code that says " Cannot switch on a value of type String for source level below 1.7" I went online and downloaded a 64bit 1.7 library and when I switched the library over suddenly error codes were appearing everywhere. Here is my code and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance everyone and please don't be too harsh if I ask seemingly stupid questions.

After Carlos's accident I was really shaken up and dealing with some post traumatic stress. As is my habit, I researched to see how I could "fix" things and get back to normal, (or as normal as I get, anyway.) One piece of advice I read: If the event keeps replaying in the mind, do something to distract yourself — My something to distract myself all last week became cooking Salvadoran food and practicing my food photography skills. It served the dual purpose of showing my love for Carlos while taking care of him, as well as keeping my mind busy. I'm happy to say that this week Carlos is back to work, and I'm feeling better, too.
The reason I mention any of this is to prepare you for the onslaught of recipes I'll be sharing. First up we have chocobananos, which are basically frozen bananas on a stick dipped in chocolate.
The first chocobanano I had was in El Salvador. It was my first day there on my first trip, and our one year old son had cried on and off the entire flight. (Apologies to our fellow passengers.) Carlos and I took a walk around Soyapango, leaving our colicky baby with suegra. As we walked around the neighborhood we passed all the little stores people had on their enclosed porches. Carlos bought a chocobanano for me from a neighbor and I fell instantly in love, (with the chocobanano, not with Carlos, because Carlos and I were already well-acquainted.)
Back in the United States it isn't always as easy to find fresh chocobananos. Some Latino markets have them in the ice cream case but there's no guarantee they were made the same day, or even the same week. Making your own chocobananos is easy, ensures freshness and also allows you to add whatever toppings you so desire.
What you need:
• 6 ripe bananas (I prefer them yellow with no spots)
• melting chocolate (I use the Chocomelher brand which you can find at Latino markets)
• popsicle sticks (I prefer the bag of "Palillo Para Chocobanano" made by Melher because they have a square shape that works well for this, but any type will do)
Optional topping ideas:
• crushed nuts (I used a mix of peanuts, pistachios & other nuts)
• shredded coconut
• sprinkles
1. Peel bananas and cut in half width-wise. Insert sticks into banana halves, about halfway through.
2. Place bananas in the freezer for about 1 hour. I put mine in a metal baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper so they don't stick.
3. Melt chocolate as directions indicate for whichever brand you're using. For the Chocomleher, I cut open the package and break the chocolate into large pieces. Put the chocolate into a medium-sized pot over medium heat and stir until melted. (This will provide more than enough for a dozen chocobananos.) Remove from heat.
4. Dip the frozen bananas into chocolate, trying to cover them as much as possible. You can use a spoon to spoon the chocolate onto spots you missed.
5. If adding a topping, immediately roll the chocobanano in the topping or spoon the topping over the chocobanano. You must move quickly because the chocolate hardens within seconds.
6. Your chocobananos are now ready to eat, or you can place them back in the freezer. If everyone doesn't eat them within the first day or two (not likely!) you can put each chocobanano into an individual plastic sandwich bag twisted closed around the stick to keep them fresh.
