Listen up, old ladies.
Beer has been shown to improve mental function in women as well as increase bone density.
Does it get any better than this? A fat-free, feel-good beverage that can make you taller and smarter?
Before you run to the nearest microbrewery to load up on a few kegs, listen to what food writer B.C. McFadyen had to say in a distillation of a 2005 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine:
Drinking moderately lowers the risk of mental decline by 20 percent ... Older women who have a drink a day average about 18 months younger than their actual age in mental skills test when compared to non-drinkers.
And for men, the research is equally encouraging.
Durango nutritionist Jess Kelley, MNT, who practices nutrition counseling with a naturopathic slant, said there are cardiovascular benefits.
There is some evidence that for men, consuming one to two beers per day can help decrease the chances of blood clots by increasing HDL cholesterol (the good kind) while lowering the bad LDL levels. Beer can also be a decent source of B vitamins.
Durangos Peak Wellness and Nutritions registered dietitian Mikel Love limited her praise of beer to its value as a favorite sports recovery drink.
As soon as you are finished working out, go ahead, have a beer, Love said. Thats if you are not a recovering alcoholic.
Beer provides a quick way to get electrolytes back into the body and gives muscles what they need for rebuilding. Thats especially beneficial for runners and cyclists, probably more so than weight lifters.
Love said consumers need to follow safe drinking level guidelines. Thats one beer a day for women, two for men.
Ten-ounce glasses of beer, that is, not the big bottles.
You cant run to Carvers and go buy a growler, unless youre sharing it with four friends, Love said.
Jess Kelley also praises beer for its flavonoid content, crediting the flavonoids for making beer a heart-healthy beverage choice. Plus, silicon, present in beer, helps increase bone marrow density to fight osteoporosis.
Keep in mind that beers containing high levels of malted barley and hops are richest in silicon, while wheat contains less silicon than barley, because it is the husk of the barley that is rich in silicon, Kelley said.
Like Love, Kelley said the key to getting the benefits from beer has to do with practicing moderation.
Is craft beer really just a form of liquid bread, arguably a nutrient-dense food compared to mass-produced beers?
I think beer and bread are two of the closest food relatives that exist, especially when you examine older brewing techniques, said Damon Scott, Durango Brewing Co.s lead brewer.
Ska Brewerys David Thibodeau agreed, calling craft beers the whole-grain breads in the bakery.
I look at it almost like white bread versus whole-grain bread. Mass-produced lagers are often made with cheap, starchy adjuncts like rice and corn and even flavorings, and are honestly bland and devoid of almost any nutritional value Craft beers for the most part are made with only malted barley, hops, yeast and water. They offer rich, full and diverse flavors and provide protein, potassium, niacin, folic acid, and B vitamins, Thibodeau said.
Scott said the craft brewing process retains the nutrients.
Craft beers are typically filtered less or not at all. Filtering can strip beer of the healthy yeast metabolites, proteins and other components derived from the malt and hops. Also, they tend to be stronger and therefore more concentrated in healthy compounds.
As for maximizing the beneficial flavonoids, consider dark beers.
Ounce for ounce, darker beer has more barley and hops than lighter pilsners or mass produced lagers, Thibodeau said.
Flavonoids, present in berries and richly colored vegetables, have anti-inflammatory properties that promote overall cardiovascular health and healthy cell reproduction.
The increased temperatures used in the kilning and processing of darker malts creates the beneficial flavonoids, Scott explained.
Scott, a diploma brewmaster who trained at the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in London, appreciates the European brewing culture, where each community has a beer specific to its region, often paired with foods that complement the distinct character of the beer.
Scott says Durangos award-winning, craft beers are designed with a clear idea of what taste the microbrewery wants to achieve in the end with a balance of hops, yeast and malt.
Durango Brewery took a first place gold medal in the Lager/Pilsner category for Helles Lager at last weekends 2012 All Colorado Beer Festival attended by 2000 beer lovers in Colorado Springs. About 25 breweries competed in the sixth annual competition.
Ska took two first-place golds in two categories: Hop Character Beer (Modus Hoperandi) and Fruit, Spice, Herb and Vegetable Character Beer (Molé Stout). Modus Hoperandi, competing against gold medalists in the five remaining classes or categories, walked away with Best of Show.
Durangos locavore slant and awareness of farmers market-quality fresh produce has benefited local microbreweries. While Durango Brewery crafts beers that appeal to the tastes of their tap room crowd, they also offer something unique to the season, that ideally complements food on the table.
Carver Brewing Co.s brewmaster Jeff Albarella agrees that the influence of European beers dramatically changed the landscape for American beer brewing.
Craft brewing is a blend of science and art,Albarella said. Carver supplements a menu of more than a dozen beers offered year-round with seasonal offerings.
We have 12 chances to please a persons palate,Albarella said of Carvers seasonal beers that allow for creativity in their blends of hops and malt.
Albarella compares the citrus aroma of American hops to those grown in England, which are more herbal. Continual tasting and balancing of flavors is part of building a recipe for a beer, he said.
The palate changes with the season. A fall or winter beer can be sweeter and more full-bodied, something you can sink your teeth into, Alabarella said.
Its within the raw ingredients: the grain, yeast and hops where the good-for-you components originate, but the craft-brewing process itself preserves those components.
Beer provides an extract of the most important source of nutrients to many cultures: grain. The alcohol acts as a preservative, allowing people to enjoy the benefits of grain cultivation more regularly. Yeast then adds many vitamins and essential nutrients to the product itself, especially when the yeast cells have not been removed from the beer, Scott said.
But nutritionists caution that beer is not all good news.
Alcohol is detrimental to women who are at risk for breast cancer, Love said.
Jessica Mitchell, registered dietitian at Mercy Medical Center, said she sees no nutritional benefits or qualities to beer.
Its a toxin that works your liver, she said.
When asked about the possible health benefits of beer, Mitchell said, You can find all these things in regular foods without the negative effects of alcohol.
Kelley and Love emphasize the importance of understanding the impact of nutritional choices and say that consumers need to weigh the benefits against the risk. For those who do choose to imbibe, beer is a wise choice among alcoholic beverages, said Kelley.
Rather than reaching for a margarita (which can contain 600 calories and 40 or more grams of sugar), unwind with a beer and you can keep the calorie content under 200 and the sugar under 6 grams, Kelley said.

Mayapan's ruins are surrounded by forests in this picture, captured by GeoEye's Ikonos satellite on Sept. 19, 2001.
This satellite image of the ruins of Mayapan, on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, hints at the apocalypse that befell a Maya kingdom hundreds of years ago.
Mayapan is considered Mexico's last Maya capital, and represents one of the largest assemblages of Maya ruins in the Yucatan. The city was built after the Maya revolted against the lords of Chichen Itza. The largest pyramid is the Castle ("El Castillo") of Kukulkan, made as a smaller replica of Chichen Itza's El Castillo pyramid. Mayapan also is home to many circular buildings, or observatories. The Maya's astronomical knowledge helped them predict the exact time of solar and planetary events and aided in the creation of precise calendars.
The city reached its zenith in the 13th century, but in the mid-1400s, factional strife led to Mayapan's decline. The rulers were killed off by a rival family during a revolt, important buildings were set ablaze, and the city was largely abandoned. By the year 1500, an epidemic drove out the stragglers. The University at Albany's Mayapan Archaeology website delves more deeply into the city's life and death.
This overhead view of Mayapan was captured by GeoEye's Ikonos satellite in 2001, from a height of 423 miles (681 kilometers). It serves as a tribute to the Maya calendar turnover on Dec. 21, as a celebration of the day's non-apocalypse — and as the latest addition to the Cosmic Log Space Advent Calendar, which has been serving up views of Earth from space on a daily basis during the holiday season.

Madison's Top Ten Comfort Food Dishes
The best goulash, pot pie, and mac and cheese in town
By: Aaron R. Conklin
We call it comfort food, and we all have our own particular definitions for those warm, familiar tastes we turn to when it's time to shove the stress into a closet, lock the door and pitch the key out the window like an Aaron Rodgers screen pass. But maybe the more appropriate term is connection food, dishes that connect us both to shared experiences and to the past, taking us back to the kitchen tables, cafeterias and supper clubs of our nostalgia-dusted childhoods. As we're reminded every time we indulge, there's power (and powerful comfort) in the simple appeal of a plate of casserole or a bowl of chicken potpie.
Because of that, comfort food is also our chance to commune with the warm experiences and customary flavors from other cultures, whose charms may be worlds away from the tastes we enjoyed as kids. Call it comfort by association. It's universal.
"Food, like music, should strike a chord," says Tory Miller, the executive chef at Graze, the downtown Madison restaurant that constructed its entire menu around the concept.
Hey, now that's a comforting thought.
Madison's a laissez-faire town, and its restaurant scene has no shortage of fabulous comfort-food options. But it's hard to feel comfortable when you're overwhelmed by freedom of choice, so we handpicked ten can't-miss dishes to get you started on your own soul-satisfying pilgrimage. Eat, drink and be comforted.Hungarian Goulash
Weary Traveler Freehouse
1201 Williamson St.
(pictured above; photo: Nicole Peaslee)
This bowl of spicy goodness couldn't be further from the ground-beef-and-noodle mess you scarfed at your grade-school cafeteria. But unlike a lot of the staples on the Weary's menu, the Hungarian Goulash isn't the result of Christopher Berge's international travels—it's based on a recipe used by the Hungarian grandma of a gent named Csaba, a former bartender at the downtown Great Dane. "It really is," says executive chef Joey Dunscombe. "It's not just some BS we put on the menu."
The succulent taste of beef tenderloin tips paired with Yukon potatoes and carrots is drop-kicked into comfort-food nirvana by the spices, featuring onions sautéed with caraway seeds and Hungarian paprika.
Not only has the dish passed muster with plenty of actual Hungarians, it's totally weatherproof. "Seriously, it sells all summer long," says Dunscombe. "We had a 105-degree day this summer and people were still ordering it."Meatloaf of the Gods/Meatless Loaf of the Gods
Monty's Blue Plate Diner
(2089 Atwood Ave.)
Chef Matt Pace knows the deal with meatloaf: "Everybody comes into it expecting something," he says. Monty's almighty loaf blows those expectations off the plate by tossing in some delicious curveballs. A staple on the Monty's menu for the past two decades-plus, this loaf combines ground beef and pork sausage—baked free-form, not in a pan, so that tasty caramelized flavor touches every edge—and comes with red-wine gravy and a sweet-and-sour tomato chutney standing in for the bottle of Heinz. If vegetarian varieties are more your bottle of ketchup, no worries: the meatless loaf, a carrot-based version leavened with mushrooms and a ginger-cashew gravy, is strong and flavorful enough to hold not just its form, but its own against its beefy brother.Seeda Longsong
Sa-Bai Thong
6802 Odana Rd. & 2840 University Ave.
In Southern Thailand, the smooth and sweet peanut sauce that garnishes this dish—it's number fifty-two on the Sa-Bai Thong menu—is generally reserved for satay appetizers. Here in Madison, we're lucky enough to be able to enjoy an entire entrée, with thin-sliced grilled chicken and gleaming broccoli drenched in its tasty comfort. Arom Wichitchu, who manages the Odana restaurant, says the peanut sauce's secret is in the sweet-and-sour tamarind fruit. "You've got to have just a little, just the right amount," he says. If you need more than broc to knock your socks, number forty-nine offers the same peanut sauce with a wider vegetable palate.Tacos
Taqueria Guadalajara
1033 Park St.
The actual term "comfort food" isn't as commonly understood in Latino culture, but the earthy, time-honored connection to certain types of food sure is. Just ask Francisco Vacquez, the chef and co-owner of Taqueria Guadalajara, who was fronting his own taqueria in Mexico at the tender age of fifteen. He's had three decades to perfect his comfortable take on tacos. The key's the tortilla, a large corn circle oiled perfectly, and a mere three ingredients: onions, one of six types of meat and a hearty covering of fresh cilantro. If simplicity is the food of comfort, eat on.

SUNY Canton Wins Advertising and Writing AwardsFriday, June 20th, 2014
The SUNY Canton Roo Express Shuttle Bus design earned the college's Public Relations office a top award for outdoor advertising and a media specialist won two awards for excellence in writing.
Publications Coordinator Matthew J. Mulkin received the best of category award for Outdoor Advertising from the SUNY Council for University Advancement Divisions (SUNYCUAD). Mulkin transformed a white 15-passenger bus into a mobile billboard. The college received his award, and two additional awards, at the annual SUNYCUAD conference held recently in Lake Placid.
Mulkin used his own portrayal of the college's Kangaroo mascot, Roody Roo, and its Leaf and Parallelogram emblem to promote SUNY Canton's overall brand. He used a combination of hand drawings and computer renderings to create the finished product.
"It was a derivation from the original trademarked Kangaroo logo created to fit on 15-passenger bus," Mulkin said. "It definitely makes people look twice."
The customized vehicle displays two different versions of the mascot. He is shown bounding forward on either side and again clinging to the back of the bus. Mulkin used the college's signature blue, green and gold throughout the design.
"Students identify with Roody," Mulkin said. "We used the Kangaroo in the design so students would know that the bus is specifically for them."
Mulkin is a 2011 graduate of SUNY Canton's Graphic and Multimedia Design program.
Media Relations Manager Gregory E. Kie won best of category in Excellence in Writing-Research and Other Technical Writing for a news release titled "New SUNY Canton Grant-Funded Research May Help Offset High Home Heating Costs." After receiving attention locally, the story was picked up by Biomass Magazine and published on their website.
"Many north country residents want to save money and keep their homes warm," Kie said. "It was interesting to see the research gain notice nationally."
The release led to a Time Warner Cable News interview with Professor Emeritus Arthur G. Hurlbut and Michael J. Newtown, dean of the Canino School of Engineering Technology. The two principle researchers are working with Cornell Cooperative extension to install and monitor high-efficiency wood-pellet boilers. The article was also published by North Country Now in an online format.
Kie's release announcing a World War II veterans living history celebration received the judge's citation for Excellence in Writing-General News Writing.
Combined, SUNY Canton has won six awards for advertising, marketing and writing from SUNYCUAD, including a 2012 best of category award for it's television commercials.
SUNYCUAD is an organization representing professionals employed in institutional advancement areas, such as public relations, alumni and development and marketing, at every SUNY campus.

If I won the lottery I'd buy two of these
Scott - where is the one you found from?
Wow, those are slick! Do they just have holes for nails or screws in the back? I think I could get away with this easier than cutting into the drywall...
That's actually kind of what my display case for vintage is, in design, but not the cardback background of course. Mine's just stained wood.My gripe with that is you can't display the variations well then. I'm kind of a stickler for primary variations getting displayed too. It's great, a really neat idea, but wouldn't work for my collection display I guess. I do like that the Rebo Band and blue Snags got slots in there though.

William Staub, who developed the treadmill for use in homes and fitness clubs, has died at the age of 96.
Staub got the idea to develop the treadmill after reading the 1968 book "Aerobics" authored by Dr. Kenneth Cooper. The book mentioned a treadmill, and Staub wanted to develop one so that people could improve their fitness by running Cooper's prescribed 8-minute miles indoors.
"The treadmills we were using were very expensive, but there wasn't one on the market for the masses. And that's why he said, 'We need this,'" Cooper told the Associated Press. "I encouraged it. I said, 'If you can develop a treadmill that could be used in a home or an apartment it would be a slam dunk.' And it was."
In another report in The New York Times, Cooper called Staub "the pioneer for the use of the treadmill in the home."
Staub, a mechanical engineer, produced his treadmills from the manufacturing company he owned called Besco in Clifton, NJ. His earliest models were built under the brand name PaceMaster with wooden rollers and an on-off switch near the floor. The treadmills cost $399 in the 1970s. By the 1980s, his new company, Aerobics Inc., was selling 2,000 treadmills a year. By the mid-1990s, sales reached 35,000 a year.
Staub, who died July 19 at his home in Clifton, had been walking on one of his treadmills as recently as two months ago, his son, Gerald, told the Associated Press.

This Developers Life is a podcast put out by Scott Hanselman and Rob Conery. In the most recent episode there were a couple of things that really struck me.
The fist was on motivation. Why is it that we keep spending every free hour keeping up with the latest technologies and techniques? Personally, I have always enjoyed the satisfaction of solving problems with technology. Hey, if you aren't one to join sports then you need some sort of challenge. Of course getting to play with new toys like Windows Phone 7 is fun too.
The second was getting a DBA's perspective. Why is it that they give so many of us a hard time. Is it really that what we develop threatens their ability to do their jobs? I have always found that showing that you understand their priorities and that you aren't a complete idiot when it comes to database design goes a long way.
If you want a podcast that can really make you think I would highly recommend This Developers Life.
The last couple of weeks I have been working through some proof of concepts for Windows Phone 7. While working through one exercise I had a flashback. The book I was reading mentioned how you needed to code your application to have the smallest possible memory and and processing speed footprint. Suddenly I was back in high school with my Tandy hand-held computer which had a single line of text screen and a whopping 1K of memory. Talk about limitations.
So what else can you learn from developing in such environment constraints. I think we could all benefit from spending some time doing code where we really have to think about how we are putting it together. We would have developers who produce much tighter and well performing code as they carry those skills back to desktop and web development. Maybe these devices should be required learning in our college classes. Any thoughts?
The new WLW 2011 has been a shock to the system. I am used to having my history/drafts and and plug-ins at the ready down the right side of the window. Plug-ins are now under the insert tag on the ribbon. The history and drafts are now under a drop-down file menu in the ribbon. I'll have to see if this configuration works for me. There doesn't seem to be an option for a "classic" setup so I may end up looking for a new blog editor that is more efficient for me. I realize to some people these may be improvements or minor inconveniences, but for some reason this change is something I find quite annoying.
A few months back I sat down on a conference call with Dave Bost and Clark Sell to record an episode of Thirsty Developer. I had suggested that we could talk about Office Open XML and how it can be used to automate the generation of documents. Now for a number of reasons this episode will never see the light of day (at least not as we originally recorded it). But the reason that sticks in my mind is that the story wasn't there.
As technologists we spend a lot of time learning tools, languages and frameworks. But we don't always think about the question of why we are using these technologies. Of course what makes a good podcast is the telling of they why as much as the how. I had plenty of how, but really only one example to explain everything. It just turned out to be not enough glue.
This reminded me of something that I knew as an architect is a critical skill. We have to be able to sell our ideas. What could be a better way to sell those ideas but to tell the story of how it is used and how someone benefits for the technology.
Now this isn't just something that you need to know if you are doing some sort of presentation. This is something we need to remember as we talk with clients and stake holders. From this point on I need to give this principle more attention. I think I see a wall plaque in the making.
We are coming to the close of another year. This year has brought a lot of great speakers and topics to our group (as well as a little name change). So better way to close out the year than to have Shankar Ramachandran introduce us to NoSQL and its architectural considerations. Please join us on November 16th and come meet your peers.

WASHINGTON - As part of an innovative partnership aimed at increasing economic development while setting our nation on the path to energy independence, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Energy today announced a program to award $2.3 billion in tax credits for manufacturers of advanced energy equipment. Authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), this new program will provide tax credits to manufacturers who produce clean energy equipment.
"This program will help encourage innovation in design of clean energy technologies," said Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. "This partnership between Treasury and Energy adds an important new dimension to the incentives created in the Recovery Act to increase US manufacturing output, improve energy efficiency, and develop alternative sources of energy."
The Recovery Act created a new tax credit program by authorizing Treasury to provide developers with an investment tax credit of 30 percent for facilities that manufacture particular types of energy equipment. Qualifying manufactures will produce solar, wind, and geothermal energy equipment; fuel cells, microturbines, and batteries; electric cars; electric grids to support the transmission of renewable energy; energy conservation technologies; and equipment that captures and sequesters carbon dioxide or reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Said Energy Secretary Steven Chu: "These tax credits will help create thousands of high quality manufacturing jobs in some of the highest growth segments of the economy. This is an opportunity to develop our global leadership in clean energy manufacturing and build a secure, sustained base of jobs for America's workers."
The manufacturing tax credit is capped at $2.3 billion, and credits are available for two years or until the cap is reached. Companies can expect to receive payments within 180 days of filing for the credit. To view the program summary and guidance for applying for the tax credit, please visit the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit (48C) page.
The announcement of the manufacturing tax credit is the next step in an innovative partnership between Treasury and Energy aimed at promoting energy production and energy independence. Tax programs have provided successful incentives for encouraging the development of renewable energy in the past - in 2006 alone, approximately $550 million in renewable energy tax credits were provided to 450 businesses. In July, Treasury and Energy announced the availability of a payment in lieu of tax credits for facilities that produce renewable energy, a program that is expected to result in more than $3 billion of stimulus for energy development in rural and urban communities.

There is sorta such a thing today. It's called HERS. 100 is a "normal" house. 0 is a "net zero energy" house. And negative means you have even more PVs than you need. Nice. Someday websites like realtor.com, redfin.com, etc. will let you search on such things.
The best house I've seen is this -33 HERS of Carolyn and Kyle Cave in Hadley, MA. It's also nice to know what a house is pre-PV to get an idea of how efficient the house and it's occupants are. Oh, and a house in Maynard MA is -8 HERS.
Anyway, good work Caves! Your house follows the important rule of thumb I now encourage people to use — Build (or pick) your house with a lot of good roof space for PVs. Small footprint houses like ours are a little more efficient, but we don't have nearly as much room for PVs. Dumb.
(Oh, and our house is nearly 0 HERS. I am not exactly sure what — I forgot to ask for the pre-PV score and if I recall correctly the PV offset used the wrong KW total.)
(Oh, and read about the limitations of HERS at the link at top…)

Deep Ocean Mysteries and Wonders (Video) posted by GrrlScientist on Apr 5, 2012 SUMMARY: Marine biologist David Gallo shows tantalising glimpses of the water world that he knows and loves, from volcanoes to the remains of the Titanic. '
This video takes us on a voyage into the ocean – from the deepest trenches to the remains of the Titanic – marine biologist David Gallo explores the wonder and beauty of marine life…'
…Seventy percent of Earth's surface is covered by oceans, whose average depth is two miles. Yet, even though the ocean shares the planet with us — I have long thought "Planet Earth" is more appropriately known as "Planet Water" — we have explored less than five percent of it. Five percent!
But in that minuscule five percent, we've already discovered so many surprises, such as underwater waterfalls and lagoons, fiery underwater volcanoes that send out rivers of molten rock, giant mountain ranges that circle the globe and yawning chasms that dwarf the Grand Canyon, and living in this underwater world is a diversity of life that puts to shame even the tropical rainforests.
David Gallo is the Director of Special Projects at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Dr Gallo was one of the first oceanographers to use a combination of manned submersibles and robots to map the ocean world with unprecedented clarity and detail…
David Gallo: The deep oceans: a ribbon of life
David Gallo: Underwater astonishments
David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a color-shifting cuttlefish, a perfectly camouflaged octopus, and a Times Square's worth of neon light displays from fish who live in the blackest depths of the ocean.

Damn Girl, If I Don't Handle You Today, My Surname Is Not Xuan
Xuan Tian Ming felt that this was a very good idea. Pulling Feng Yu Heng's small hands, he said: "Alright, it's not like we haven't slept together before."
Feng Yu Heng looked at him sideways: "Was I not going to take a bath first?"
"That's also fine, it's not like… wouldn't just bathing together once be considered as having bathed!"
"Indecent!" She fiercely glared at Xuan Tian Ming then let go of the wheelchair. Walking into the bedroom, she said: "Find his Highness another room that is a little further away from this county princess."
Xuan Tian Ming protested: "This is no good!"
"This is very good!" Since she had entered the room, she immediately slammed the door closed.
The palace maid outside reached out to Xuan Tian Ming: "How about your Highness chooses another room." She could only help to this degree.
Xuan Tian Ming, however, had his own ideas: "County princess Ji An has always been shy. With an outsider here, she would definitely be embarrassed. You should leave first. In a while, she will open the door for this prince."
The palace maid left with a doubtful expression. Xuan Tian Ming sat facing the door to the room with a gloomy expression.
Should he enter?
What would be the outcome of him entering?
If that girl became unhappy, would she attack?
He slapped himself. Why was he thinking and fussing so much? That girl dared to climb into his bed in the middle of the night. How could it be that he, a grown man, did not dare to even enter a room in the middle of the day?
As a person, he could not be too cowardly!
He moved his wheelchair and arrived in front of the door. Reaching out, he pushed the door open.
See, that girl did not even close the door. This meant that she was waiting for him! Sure enough, a man who was too virtuous would be looked down upon by women.
Thinking like this, Xuan Tian Ming entered the room on his wheelchair. With another turn of the hand, he closed the door behind him.
He felt that this room was covered in a layer of mist. Thinking about it, the servants must have prepared the bath earlier. The heat of the water caused the room to become filled with steam.
He looked toward the source of the steam and saw that there was a thin figure taking their clothes off behind a screen. There was already an outer coat hanging on the screen.
Xuan Tian Ming's lips curled into an evil smile. He thought to himself that this girl was too small and could not be eaten, but teasing her was still quite fun.
He moved his wheelchair in that direction, and the steam had become thicker. When he arrived in front of the screen, he could still smell a faint scent of flower petals in the steam. He began moving more quietly and moved around the screen. He wanted to give the girl a sudden shock. Preparing his scary face, he moved very quickly and left his wheelchair, diving straight for the figure.
But he absolutely could never have imagined it! He found that the figure that he had clearly seen behind the screen had disappeared. He had leapt up and rushed over. At first, he had planned to scoop her up to sit back down in the wheelchair. Who knew that he would come up empty. The arms that had reached out only reached around but did not catch anything.
Xuan Tian Ming was dazed. Where had she gone?
In the time that he was shocked, he was a little slow to recover. With the room being covered in steam and the floor being slippery, the wheelchair had slid back a bit.
He was unable to find it. Right now, what he feared was falling to the ground, thus he adjusted himself and did his best to not be in such a troubled position; however, he did not think that at this time there would come a sudden movement from behind. He was unable to react to what was happening, as a small hand suddenly grabbed his collar and pushed, throwing him forward.
Xuan Tian Ming was completely defenseless. With a "plunk" he fell entirely into the wooden tub.
Who knew how that tub had been prepared. It was extremely large, large enough for two people to soak in it at the same time with plenty of extra room. Caught unprepared, he fell in and even gulped down a mouthful of bath water. When he finally managed to get his head out of the water, he heard a giggling come from the side of the wooden tub.
Looking over, he saw a girl wearing a white cloth with her hands on her hips looking at him. She was laughing so hard that she could not straighten out her body. Perhaps it was because the room was too hot, but her small face was bright red, making her look like an apple, and it was quite good looking.
Xuan Tian Ming simply sat in the water and did not get up. Folding his arms over his chest, he very unhappily said: "Heng Heng, if you want to bathe with your husband, just say it directly. There is no need for so much force. Husband is not that stingy of a person."
The small girl outside the tub placed her arms on the side of the tub and looked at him with a smile: "Dignified ninth prince, can you know a little shame?"
Xuan Tian Ming was a creature that was completely shameless: "Compared to a beloved girl climbing into this prince's bed in the middle of the night, which do you feel is more shameless?"
"Of course, you are the more shameless one." Feng Yu Heng put away her smiling face and said to him: "Rather than arguing here, I am rather anxious to return to see my mother. When I left the manor, she was still asleep. Now, a little more than a night and half of a day have passed. Who knows how many times she has woken up."
Xuan Tian Ming could see that she was troubled and simply swam over to her in the tub. Reaching out with his wet hand, he massed the area between her eyebrows, "Don't worry. Seventh brother has gone over to Tong Sheng pavilion to take care of her. He brought over an imperial physician who has done some research on drugs. You just need to calm yourself."
"Really?" Her eyes finally lit up.
"When have I ever lied to you. That imperial physician has been researching these things for many years. Even if he cannot cure her, he will not do a poor job."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and said with a bit of awkwardness: "With seventh brother there, I am at ease. No matter how big of a mess occurs, seventh brother can make it better."
"Hey!" Someone suddenly became unhappy, "Someone like seventh brother should only be looked at. It would be better to look from a distance too. You absolutely must not set your heart on him, do you understand?"
Feng Yu Heng turned around and curled her lips into a sly smile, "Oh! Is your Highness Prince Yu jealous?"
"Un." A certain person nodded and used his finger to wave the girl in front of him over, "Come here."
"I will not!" Feng Yu Heng was very resolute in her objection. She then stood up and smiled, saluting the person in the water: "Your Highness, this servant will take care of your bath!"
Xuan Tian Ming shivered, as he felt that this gloomy girl did not have any good intentions. He just wanted to refuse and say that there was no need, but Feng Yu Heng's small hands had already reached over, "Come on, your Highness. How can you take a bath with your clothes on? Take them off!" While saying this, she moved her small hands along Xuan Tian Ming's body. Who knew what she did, as Xuan Tian Ming's robes were removed from his body in a short period of time.
The eyes of the person in the water began to light up, "Dear wife, there is still another half!"
Feng Yu Heng, however, ignored him. Instead, she walked over to the other side of the tub and picked up the smaller tubs of hot water that had been placed there, pouring them in one at a time.
As she continued pouring it in, Xuan Tian Ming realized something was off: "That uh, wait a moment. Wait a moment, dear wife! It's too hot! Hey! Hot! Hot!" He grabbed Feng Yu Heng's wrist, "Do you know what hot means?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "I do."
"If you know, then why are you pouring in so much hot water?"
"Don't people say that dead pigs don't fear hot water? I will give it a try."1
"Oh." Xuan Tian Ming nodded, "It seems that dear wife likes this idea. Hm…" he curled up the corners of his lips. Feng Yu Heng realized that there was danger and wanted to run away. Unfortunately, no matter how strong she was, she could not compare to Xuan Tian Ming. Just as she thought of running, she felt a large force grab her wrist before she could even move. Her entire body was lifted into the air, where she was flipped then fell into the water with a "plunk."
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Feng Yu Heng choked.
She could not escape the disaster that she had created. Damn, this water was too hot. It was truly too hot!
She was thinking about whether or not the heat of the water would cause her skin to crack. She had been joking around with Xuan Tian Ming, but she had no grasp of how bad things had gotten. She had just entered the water and already found it unbearably hot; however, he had been soaked in it the entire time. Would he get hurt?
Just as she was thinking about this, she was picked up and carried out of the water.
The heat immediately dissipated, and the pain also vanished. She opened her eyes to look and found that Xuan Tian Ming had picked her up as though he was holding up a doll. One raised their head and the other leaned forward, as the two looked at each other, the angle was very awkward.
"Wh… what are you holding me up for?" She was a little cold.
However, she heard Xuan Tian Ming say: "The water is too hot. I was just teasing you a little, but I cannot allow you to get burned."
"But…" She suddenly choked up. Fortunately, the steam in the room was thick, so he was unable to notice anything: "But I left you soaking in this hot water for so long. I'm sorry."
"What are you saying?" He put her down outside the tub and pointed to the tubs of water on the other side, "Go quickly and pour in some cold water."
This time, Feng Yu Heng was obedient and quickly poured the cold water in. She then used her hand to test the water, un, it was the perfect temperature. Looking again at Xuan Tian Ming's body, she found that it was red from the heat. She was a little distressed and quickly said to Xuan Tian Ming: "Just wait a moment." She then turned around and went behind the screen.
Xuan Tian Ming did not know what she was doing. After waiting for a while, when he saw the girl return, she had already changed clothes. Its material and appearance were both very strange. It was very puffy and large with a belt at her hip, but it looked very soft. At the bottom, there was a bit of calf being revealed. It looked extremely weird, but it was also very beautiful.
Looking at her hands, he found that she was holding a few bottles of various colors, and he could not say what they were.
Feng Yu Heng walked behind him and put down the things in her hands. Rolling up her sleeves, she picked up one of the bottles and poured some stuff onto her hand then said: "Move forward a little and show me your back. I will apply some stuff for you."
Xuan Tian Ming did as he was told then enjoyed the feeling of receiving treatment from a beauty.
He did not know what Feng Yu Heng was applying to his back, but it was very cool. The discomfort in his back that had from the scalding water immediately disappeared, being replaced with a comfortable feeling.
He enjoyed it a great deal. Leaning back against the tub, he raised his head and said in a serious tone: "The one thing that this prince did most correctly in this lifetime was meeting you in the mountains of the Northwest."
This should have been a very beautiful atmosphere. Xuan Tian Ming had confessed, and Feng Yu Heng felt moved. Normally, the plot would develop in this way.
But… Who knew where Feng Yu Heng's mind short-circuited, as she did not have a single romantic cell in her body. Upon hearing Xuan Tian Ming speak about meeting her in the mountains of the Northwest, the girl immediately became unhappy, "What are you saying? Who met whom? Based on your legs at that time, could you meet me? Xuan Tian Ming, have you forgotten that you were stuck in that crevice in the mountains, and I expended a great deal of energy to drag you out! I carried you out!"
Xuan Tian Ming was speechless, "It was just an expression. It was just expressing the joy of our encounter."
"Even then, you need to be realistic!"
"What realistic? I only exaggerated a little. I was just saying, and you should just listen. Hah, when I say this sort of thing, should you not feel moved?"
"What is there to feel moved about? I am clearly the benefactor that saved your life!"
Xuan Tian Ming angrily gnashed his teeth, "Damn girl, could it be that I have doted on you too much? Are you just taking advantage of my weakness? If I do not deal with you today, my surname is not Xuan!" Saying this, he suddenly reached out and pulled Feng Yu Heng over!
The damn girl very unhappily fell into the water once more…
1: Dead pigs don't fear hot water is a sarcastic remark about shameless people, rascals and arrogant people not fearing criticism or something to that effect.

Yes I know exactly where Toney is! Lol yes a very small world. I live in Athens now but live most of my life in Elkmont. Hope you enjoy visit. Maybe I can soon post pics!
Thank you! Close to Huntsville ! I did find one that a dealer ordered in Arkansas ! Should be in in a month!
Back again. So as long as you don't crack it up or wear it out, you let me know if you ever decide to sell that wagon! I would really love a red manual shift, does it also have the Recaro ?sp? seats? I have decided against buying one for now. We spend the winter in Florida, and here in Canada we have 5 classic cars, we both have Harleys plus I have my XLR to drive & my hubby's truck so seriously I don't need another car. WANT-yes, but don't need it. Besides we are insurance poor...Cdn auto insurance is high! My daughter seems to have possession of my Grand Prix and I am not even missing it. Anyway, you enjoy MY car while it is still yours!
Pompano Beach
Just visited, and dropping a line as requested. :-)
Actually haven't got my CTS-V yet (only 4 days to go...). Loving some of your posts, check out my intro... and let me know if you know of anything great (not just driving roads or tracks) around Houston area... or anywhere else, for that matter!
......I have not been on this site for a while......obviously! I just got your message. I decided to back burner the whole deal for while. I have my 2009 XLR to keep me happy (Nope, not a V) an 06 Grand Prix as my daily driver that is absolutely trouble free with 60,000 miles on the odometer, plus we have a collecton of classic cars I also drive in the summer........and then we winter in Florida.

I love my daughter but NO WAY am I going to leave her that car to have to sit outside in the snow (no garage) and have my darling granddaughters kick the back seat with their snowy boots. I have not made up my mind what will I will buy other than a Cadillac but my son-in-law just got a better job and perhaps they will afford another car and take that issue out of the equation! Looks like you have the wagon of my dreams.....is it a manual or automatic?
Hi to all you visitors! Drop a line when you visit. I actually check my profile page just to see if somebody does leave me a message.

Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers
|Timeline of the
selection procedure
Submit an application if you are a researcher from abroad with above average qualifications, at the beginning of your academic career and only completed your doctorate in the last four years. A Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers allows you to carry out long-term research (6-24 months) in Germany. Applicants choose their own topic of research and their academic host.
Scientists and scholars of all nationalities and disciplines may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation online at any time. In recent years, approximately 25% to 30% of applications were successful. Short-term study visits, participation in congresses and training courses cannot be financed.
Eligible academics from developing and emerging countries may apply for a Georg Forster Fellowship.
Online application
- I would like to register and apply for a Humboldt Research Fellowship.
- I have already created and saved an online application and would like to continue editing this form.
Further information
- Doctorate or comparable academic degree (Ph.D., C.Sc. or equivalent), completed less than four years prior to the date of application. Candidates who have nearly completed their doctoral degrees are eligible to apply provided that they submit the manuscript of their dissertation or publications containing the results of their dissertation.
- Academic publications reviewed according to international standards and printed in journals and/or by publishing houses.
- Confirmation that research facilities are available and mentoring agreement and a detailed expert's report by an academic host at a research institution in Germany. Details of the research outline including information on the intended duration of the fellowship must be agreed with the intended host before applying.

- Language skills: scholars in the humanities or social sciences and physicians must have a good knowledge of German if it is necessary to carry out the research successfully; otherwise a good knowledge of English; scientists and engineers must have a good knowledge of German or English.
- Applications to continue a research stay already underway can only be considered in exceptional cases. Foreign academics staying in Germany are eligible to apply if they have lived outside Germany for a minimum of 12 months in total in the 18-month period prior to submission of the application. Any time spent in Germany within those 18 months is taken into account, regardless of duration or reason. German citizens and/or educational residents are generally ineligible to apply if they have been in Germany within the last 18 months prior to receipt of their application or are already in Germany at the time of applying. For more details, please check our FAQ
- The Humboldt-Foundation assumes that candidates will abide the Rules of Good Scientific Practice and the legally-binding principles of scientific ethics during the application and sponsorship periods.
Applications may be submitted to the Humboldt Foundation online at any time, provided they have been duly completed and all of the following required documents have been uploaded:
|Timeline of the
selection procedure
- Curriculum vitae (two pages max)
- Research outline (five pages max)
- Complete list of publications
- List of selected key publications
- Key publications
- Doctoral certificate
- German language certificate, if applicable
- Host's statement and confirmation of research facilities*
- Two expert reviews*
- Additionally, where required: publishers' letter(s) of acceptance and/or acknowledgment(s) of receipt as well as summaries or translations of the key publications
* The host and expert reviewer(s) upload the required documents in a secure area themselves. Applications can be submitted only after these documents have been uploaded. The application form contains further instructions and information.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that he or she has submitted all the necessary documents.
The Humboldt Foundation will confirm receipt of the online application by email. The date used to determine whether the applicant meets certain formal requirements, particularly with respect to career stage limitations and previous stays in Germany, is the date on which the Humboldt Foundation receives the respective application.
After the application has been checked to ensure that it is complete and meets the formal requirements for eligibility applicants will be notified about the proposed selection date. The application documents will then usually be forwarded to two independent reviewers for written review. On the basis of these independent peer reviews a selection committee composed of about 50 academics from all disciplines reaches a decision on approving research fellowships. The selection committee meets three times a year, in March, July and November. If an application has been approved a fellow arriving from abroad may start the fellowship two months after the selection meeting at the earliest. Fellows must start their fellowships within twelve months of the selection meeting; otherwise it will be forfeited.
If your application is not approved, you may send an informal email requesting feedback to be sent to you and your host on the reasons for the rejection. This will usually follow approximately four to six weeks after the selection committee meeting.
It is not possible to appeal. However, applicants who have been rejected may submit a revised application provided that fundamental aspects of the original application have been significantly improved.
In the case of applications that have been unanimously rejected, new applications will be accepted only after a period of 18 months.
One of our hallmarks is the degree of support we try to provide for every single guest researcher. This is why we offer you extra benefits in addition to the monthly research fellowship: from invitations to events, via language courses to family allowances.
Further information
Once a Humboldtian, always a Humboldtian: Even after your research stay has come to an end, we shall still maintain close contact with you.

If in doubt, we would ask to send us only your complete CV and a list of your publications, so that we can advise you. Please state which criterion applies to you (info(at)avh.de).
* Educational residents are individuals who have completed their school education and a university degree, or a university degree and their doctorate in Germany.
Academic host
Who can be my academic host?
If you have already worked in Germany for a longer period of time (12 months or more) you should look for a new academic environment for another guest stay in Germany. Applications that involve returning to the supervisor of the doctoral thesis or to the mentor of a longer postdoctoral stay are generally rejected by the Selection Committee on the basis of a lack of further independent academic development.
How can I find an academic host?
We would like to draw your attention to the following search engines for hosts and research institutes:
- Institutes at German universities and other research institutions
Searchable Portal (GERiT) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
- Research facilities, disciplines and research in Germany
Research portal of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
- Research Map
Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK)
- Research facilities, researchers and projects of the DFG in Germany and worldwide
GEPRIS - Database of the German Research Foundation
- Research facilities, disciplines and researchers in Germany and worldwide
World of Learning
Communication and information platform on career paths and funding opportunities for junior academics
Can I conduct my research with two academic hosts?
Will my host institute receive any additional funds for the costs it incurs in connection with my research stay?
Please see the respective FAQ of the Department Sponsorship and Network.
Are there deadlines for submitting applications?
Please note that you can submit your application only after your host and your expert reviewers have uploaded all necessary documents.
The date used to determine whether the applicant meets certain formal requirements, such as career stage limitations and stays in Germany, is the date on which the Humboldt Foundation receives the respective application.
Selection committee meetings take place three times a year, in March, July and November. Applications should be submitted at least four to seven months ahead of the prospective selection meeting.
A graphic display of the complete application process can be found under timeline of selection procedure.
Can I apply to several Humboldt Foundation fellowship programmes at the same time, or can I apply for a Humboldt Fellowship and the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award at the same time if I fulfil the formal requirements?
Can I apply for a fellowship from another institution at the same time I submit my application to the Humboldt Foundation?
Can I do part of my research work abroad?
Research stays in the fellow's country of origin or in a non-European country will, however, normally result in a temporary suspension of the fellowship.
Can I apply for a research fellowship for a period of less than six months?
I am a postdoctoral researcher. Can I divide up my research stay?
When do I have to start the fellowship period at the latest?
What is the value of the fellowship?
Will you pay the fellowship retroactively if I am already at the host institute at the time of being selected?
Is the intensive German language course part of my research fellowship?
When can I attend a language course?
Do I have to take a language course?
Who bears the travel expenses to and from Germany?
Can I bring my family?
How soon can I begin the fellowship period?
If you are coming from abroad, the earliest you may begin the fellowship period is usually two months (three months if you need a visa) after your application has been approved by the Selection Committee. If you are already in Germany, you can start at the beginning of the following month at the earliest.
Application documents
Should my expert reviews be sent directly to the Humboldt Foundation or enclosed with the application?
Expert reviews should not be more than 12 months old at the time of application.
Who should provide expert reviews for my application and how many expert reviews are required?
Which publications should I enclose with my application?
If you wish to cite your dissertation as a key publication but have not yet submitted it for printing, please upload the original manuscript of your doctoral thesis.
May I include works that have not yet been submitted for publication in the list of key publications and the complete list of publications?
Exception: Your dissertation may be cited as a key publication even if you have not yet submitted it to a publisher. If you wish to cite your dissertation as a key publication but have not yet submitted it for printing, please upload the original manuscript of your doctoral thesis.
I have not yet completed my doctorate. Do I have to hand in my doctoral certificate later?
What are key publications?
Please note that you cannot amend your selection of key publications once the selection process has begun.
How many key publications should I cite?
If you are applying for a fellowship for experienced researchers you must choose at least three key publications. You may cite a maximum of five. Surplus key publications will be removed from the list without notifying the applicant.
How should I explain why I have chosen a key publication?
Should my key publications also be cited in the complete list of publications?
Please note that it is not possible to amend the list of publications submitted to the Humboldt Foundation once the selection process has begun.
Selection procedure
Will you confirm receipt of my application, as well as other documents, expert reviews and the host's statement?
How much time do I have to submit further documents or update my application?
Will I be notified of the date the Selection Committee will decide on my application?
Who will review my application?
Who will decide on my application?
Will I be notified of the reasons for a rejection?
When will I be informed about the decision?
How high is the success rate?
What are the most important selection criteria?
Can I re-apply after being rejected?
In the case of unanimously rejected applications, a new application will be accepted only after 18 months.
What issues frequently result in applications being rejected?
In particular, applicants who apply upon completion of their doctoral thesis should ensure that the key findings of the doctoral thesis (key publications) are already published or have been accepted for publication. In case of doubt, it is a good idea to wait for several months before submitting the application until evidence can be provided that the key publications have been accepted.
Lack of academic development:
The chosen research project should not be a direct continuation of the doctoral thesis or of the academic work carried out to date. Returning to the same academic environment, e.g. returning to the supervisor of the doctoral thesis or the mentor of longer postdoctoral research (more than 12 months), or returning to a host institute where a longer research stay has already taken place, generally results in the rejection of applications on the basis of a lack of further independent academic development.
Lack of originality:
In the qualitative assessment of the key publications and of the research outline, the independent peer reviewers focus in particular on the originality of the work and the associated impetus for further development in this research area. If these aspects are not immediately apparent, if the research concerns more routine work or if the aims of the planned research and its significance for the continued development of the subject area are not clearly presented, applications are generally rejected.
Lack of personal academic profile, academic establishment:
In the experienced academics' programme segment, the personal academic profile is of major importance for the assessment of applications by the independent peer reviewers and committee members. Therefore, applications are frequently rejected if
- no or insufficient publications are available in sole authorship or as a corresponding author;
- the applicants' topics are too narrowly focused;
- no clear continued academic development is apparent;
- the research project is not clearly aligned with the research interests of the applicant;
- after several postdoctoral positions, another "traditional" postdoctoral position is applied for without the applicant becoming independently established academically in the meantime.

text: "There are many things to love about Charlie Huston's fiction–he's a brilliant storyteller, and writes the best dialogue since George V. Higgins–but what pushes my personal happy-button is his morbid sense of humor and seemingly effortless ability to create scary/funny bad guys who make Beavis and Butthead look like Rhodes Scholars. [Charlie Huston has] written several very good books, but this is the first authentically great one, a runaway freight that feels like a combination of William Burroughs and James Ellroy. Mystic Arts is, however, fiercely original–very much its own thing."—Stephen King"Smoking-hot… scorchingly good dialogue and banner-worthy chapter headings (like "Till His Neighbors Smelled Him" and "To Keep Him From Crushing My Spine."). And Mr. Huston, whose own brain matter is as much on display as the stuff that gets spattered here, finally delivers a book that anyone can admire. No strong stomach required."—New York Times"Huston has outdone himself by introducing disaster-prone Web Goodhue, the star of a comic masterpiece called The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death…Charlie Huston has for several years been one of the best-kept secrets in American fiction; this novel might move him into the mainstream. If you believe that the world is mad–a position that with each passing day becomes easier to accept–The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death will provide welcome support for your view. The novel had me laughing out loud many times, but of course, like all the best comic fiction (Catch-22 and Portnoy's Complaint come to mind), at bottom it is deadly serious. Life is violent, messy and all too short, and laughter is the best revenge."—Washington Post"Just when you think you've caught up with him on the curve, Charlie Huston drives right off the cliff, landing on a road no one else could see…Shockingly original…The outlandish characters are brazen originals, and the dialogue is the roar of a death-defying talent."—New York Times Book Review "A witty and amusing dark tale of friendship and family and all the problems that come with both. Web is a likeable character in spite of his personality disorder, one that the reader wants to see come out on top, which makes the book that much more fun to read."—bookbitch.com "Though most of the characters have all the noir subtlety of Sin City, this hard-shelled novel has a soft, sweet centre. Searching for a measure of healing and to repair the damage done them by their parents and the world, the good characters struggle toward redemption. [Huston] has found a way to cast a whole new generation into the noir genre and that can only be a good thing for its future."—reviewingtheevidence.com "Genre writers too often set the hook quickly and hard, glossing over the subtleties of character in their haste to reel in the reader, ultimately using plot as a club. Not so Huston…The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death is as darkly funny as it is graceful, not necessarily what you'd expect given that it's a novel about a guy whose livelihood involves mopping up blood and bone fragments…If one tends to find humor in unlikely places, Huston has created a work that is sly, twisted and surprising–one well worth the investment of time."—Denver Post"Huston's novels are among the most imaginative and compelling in the mystery and thriller genres…In The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, Huston finds pathos and the sublime in a story about an occupation for which there is no training or career path."—Pittsburgh Tribune"It's a pretty neat trick to avert your eyes while you read, but The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death by Charlie Huston is so fresh, funny and original that I managed …The characters range from the slightly odd to the bizarre-doesn't-even-begin. You might feel ashamed of yourself for laughing, but I won't tell. Just take a bath afterward, and remember to scrub out the tub."—Cleveland Plain Dealer"Hilarious, with the comedy getting darker and funnier as Web falls ever deeper into an intricate, overpowering mess that even he may not be able to clean up. Huston's characters are mostly loons, but his way with characterization and plot are so sure-handed and appealing, you'll find yourself desperately hoping they survive to live another day and star in a sequel, Clorox at the ready."—Dallas Morning News

The world of Diablo III is a little less mechanical today, with Blizzard having made recent steps to ban a ton of people who were using bots.
It wasn't a handful of folks, either. It was "several thousand", all in the name of rooting out those causing "technical problems with the game" and "undermining the spirit of fair play".
The company's full statement is below:
We've recently issued account bans to several thousand Diablo III players who were found to be using botting programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair play, botting, hacking, and other forms of cheating can also cause technical problems with the game as well as contribute to performance issues with the Battle.net service. To learn more about our exploitation policy for Diablo III and how it may affect your gameplay, please visit our official support site.
As always, maintaining a stable, safe, and enjoyable online environment for legitimate players is very important to us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed. In the meantime, if you wish to report the possible use of botting programs to Blizzard, please see this thread for more information. (We will also be adding the ability for players to report this kind of behavior directly through the game client in a future patch.)
For questions regarding account actions, please refer to Account Administration.

Date Night: 1 or 8
Spots for every kind of date.
Spring has sprung in the city, as evidenced by the Callery Pear trees screening the sky with their lacy blooms. To walk from streets exploding with those dainty flowers into 1 or 8 is to risk overloading your retinas with white. This Japanese restaurant in Williamsburg, whose exterior is marked only by aerosol tags, looks like a laboratory. But there's no mad science here, only calm thoughtfulness.
A la carte, 1 or 8 can be pricey. We happened upon the Brooklyn Restaurant Week menu, three courses for $25, but a prix fixe is offered every Tuesday through Thursday, three courses plus dessert for $34. There's also a limited late-night menu.
Our two appetizers perhaps best represent 1 or 8's sensibilities. We started with the homemade duck prosciutto salad dressed with sherry vinegar. Greens: fine; dressing: fine; unusual housemade prosciutto: wonderful. The duck was thicker than pork prosciutto, and piebald, a strip of white, a strip of brown, a strip of reddish pink.
1 or 8 is Japanese-ish. Put another way: traditional Japanese flavors or techniques serve as the sieve through which all kinds of ingredients, Japanese or otherwise, must flow as they make their way onto prettily imperfect plateware.
What's New On Serious Eats
The scallop carpaccio was a study in gummies: the gelatinous scallop offset by delicate spheres of radish, two tiny halves of a tomato, and some droplets of yuzusco, a sauce made from green chili peppers, vinegar, and citrus. The circles went round and round, no beginning or end, sort of like the name "1 or 8" itself. As with the salad, components of this dish come from many places on the map.
The sushi plate included spicy tuna, yellow mango, and salmon avocado. The owner and some of the chefs grew up in Japan, and much of the fish gets flown in daily. Unlike so many rolls, these had give and softness. The yellow mango, perhaps, had too much of the latter, such that its insides were all moisture and no fruit flavor.
Our second main, niku jaga, was one of the best things we've eaten this year. Short ribs had been placed on a plop of mashed potatoes with some onions and potato chips along for the ride. The knife was just for show; this meat was tender enough to pull apart with a fork. About three bites in we discovered the dish's secret heart: a smear of hot mustard that draws everything together in one spicy/creamy/umami bite.
We finished with a tofu flan, with a shot glass of thin strawberry jam. The flan had the consistency of a light pudding, but the savory side crept up in its chalky aftertaste, reminiscent of the sensation that occurs when your boss calls you into his or her office for a "quick chat." The only other dessert available for the prix fixe was a compact chocolate tart, whose scoop of yuzu ice cream woke us up. As with the jam, this side gave the dessert its sweetness.
Huge booths bisect the dining room, some beneath a large lovely skylight. But coming here with a group somehow feels wrong. It's hard to be elegant when you're shouting down the table to be heard, and the polished concrete floors only apply sound. Better to huddle beneath the ghost-white branches, sipping sake and swapping stories. If you must, text discretely with a slim phone. 1 or 8 is best for: a date with an aesthete.

Adam Lambert will perform at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards next month, Access Hollywood has learned.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced the news of Adam as the event's main performer on Monday.
"GLAAD has advocated for out music artists, including myself, and I am proud to be part of the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards this year," Adam said in a statement about the April 17 event. "GLAAD's work to share stories that grow acceptance and understanding about the gay and transgender community is so important in our culture today."
A source close to the event told Access Hollywood that Adam actually cleared his schedule in order to be able to take the stage at the event. The source added that the "American Idol" Season 8 runner-up will leave shortly after his performance to jump on a plane to Europe to continue his tour.
The GLAAD Media Awards regularly recognize those who offer accurate representation of the gay, lesbian and transgender community in the media.
In addition to Adam performing, a host of stars will be in attendance, including Drew Barrymore, Wanda Sykes, Tom Ford, Sofia Vergara from "Modern Family" and members of the cast of "Glee."
Constance McMillen, the 18-year-old student from Fulton, Miss., whose prom was canceled after she challenged the school district over its decision not to allow her to bring her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo to the event, will also be in attendance. Constance will be presenting Wanda with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. The award recognizes an openly gay person in entertainment who works to fight homophobia.
GLAAD previously announced that Drew will receive the Vanguard Award, which is presented to media professionals who have increased the visibility and understanding of the LGBT community.
The GLAAD Media Awards will take place on April 17 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
