Dupré Barbancourt, who founded the Barbancourt rum company in 1862, came to Haiti from Charente, which is located in the Cognac region of France. Using double distillation methods, originally used in the production of cognac in France, he began distilling rum after perfecting his special recipe. Barbancourt was married to Nathalie Gardère, who after Barbancourt's death took control of the business. Later, on her deathbed, Nathalie Gardère left the company to her nephew Paul Gardère, as she never had children with Dupré Barbancourt. To this day the rum business remains in the Gardére family.
Rhum Barbancourt Réserve Spéciale is an agricultural rum made from freshly pressed sugar cane juice that is distilled to 90% alcohol. The distilled product is cut with water before it is put to rest in large white Limousin oak vats. The finished product is an 8 year old rum, 43% alcohol per volume.
April 1, 2008; Kingston, Jamaica. Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum has introduced a limited edition 30 year old rum.
Only 1,440 bottles of Appleton Estate 30 Year Old Jamaica Rum has been produced, and according to David McConnell, Managing Director of Global Marketing for Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum, this limited edition rum will be available in select markets across the globe.
"Appleton Estate 30 Year Old Jamaica Rum is a very rare and special rum that has been aged in oak casks for 30 years. It is a limited edition product and we are only producing 1,440 bottles which we will release in select markets across the globe where it will be available in duty free and luxury or boutique accounts."
Appleton Estate 30 Year Old Jamaica Rum is packaged in a proprietary bottle whose design was inspired by the Appleton Estate signature bottle that has been a hallmark of the brand since it was launched 20 years ago. The bottle has a cork finish and each bottle has a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity.
El Dorado, the name conjures images of the mythical city of gold ruled by El Rey Dorado, The Golden King. A legend of a South American tribal chieftain, who would be completely covered in gold dust as part of an ancient ritual. The chieftain would travel with a decorated raft to the middle of a gigantic lake and offer a sacrifice of gold to the god-monster they believed lived in the lake. With this ritual the chieftain was recognized as king.
Many have died searching for the gold of El Dorado. Tonight I get to be one of the explorers searching for the mythical gold, hopefully with better luck.
El Dorado Special Reserve 15 Year Old Rum is packaged in a box embossed with gold-lettering and decorated with pictures of Brigs sailing on the great Demerara River. The bottle itself is an attractive green glass bottle reminiscent of the hand blown flasks used in the navy centuries ago. The label features the same Brigs on the great Demerara River as seen on the box. The bottle also has a plastic seal with gold colouring that glistens in the light like the real thing.
You may recall reading a news article about Renegade Rums some time ago. I have now received more information about these rums, including tasting notes that are at the end of this news article.
As said in the previous news article, Renegade Rum is a brand created by the independend bottler, Murray McDavid who over three years ago decided to venture into the world of rum.
They tracked down casks from a select group of single distilleries from the Caribbean and the Americas, some of which have either closed down or changed production location.
Renegade Rum combines single distillery rum provenance, with their innovative cask expertise. These rums are originally matured in American oak casks and then additionally matured in exceptional quality wine, madeira or port casks for extra complexity and texture.
These vintage aged limited edition rums are bottled naturally without chill-filtration - to retain natural cask flavours - at the Bruichladdich Distillery and reduced to 46% strength with Isle of Islay spring water. Renegade Rums are for the true spirit connoisseurs and intended to be savoured on their own.
Continue to discover the tasting notes of each Renegade Rum.
The very first rum I reviewed was Havana Club Añejo 7 Años and I felt it was time to review another product from the Havana Club range as people had been requesting more Havana Club rum reviews. This time I will let you in on what Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof holds within its decorated, blue labelled bottle.
Hand-crafted by "Maestro Ronero" Don Navarro, Cuban Barrel Proof is made from a blend of different aged rums aged in extra-old white oak barrels.
This blend is then put to rest in younger oak casks or "finish" casks and finally bottled straight from the cask at 45% without being diluted with water.
Temptryst rums are produced by Texas based Au Natural Spirits Inc, which is run by the president and head of research, Daniel Watson. Coveted by the connoisseurs at the Ministry of Rum and Refined Vices, Temptryst rums have quickly gained a reputation despite the fact that these rums are still relatively unknown to the wider audience and not yet on the market.
For instance, Cherry Wood XO won a gold award at the Ministry of Rum tasting competition amongst other award winning Temptryst rums. Such appreciation can only promise good fortune for the upcoming rum brand.
Ardbeg presents a truly innovative and luxurious creation of single cask bottlings – Ardbeg 'Double Barrel'.
Inspired by the tradition of a shooting party, Ardbeg have created a 'Double Barrel' guncase, crafted by a traditional guncase maker.
Only 250 of these exquisite cases exist anywhere in the world -The ultimate in luxury for the ultimate Islay Malt.

Apocalypse NoPEGGY NOONAN
The New Republic's editors seem to have mistaken Vietnam movies for real life.
This is from the now-famous "Baghdad Diaries," in The New Republic, carrying the byline of soldier-writer Scott Thomas. They are an attempt to capture the tragedy and dehumanization of war, how it coarsens men in ways that you, safe in your bed, cannot fathom. They are a lost generation, battered by war, and struggling, with the real weapons of war's survivors — mordant wit, pitiless humor, the final surrender to nihilism — to survive in a world they never made. Do I overwrite? Do I sound like an idiot? I'm just trying to fit in.
To read the Thomas pieces was, simply, to doubt them. And to wonder if its editors had ever actually met a soldier on his way to or from Iraq, or talked to any human being involved in the modern military.
The diaries appear to be another case of journalistic fabulism. This week came word, via the published transcript of a telephone conversation between "Thomas," who is actually Scott Thomas Beauchamp, and his editors. It is actually painful to read. The editors almost plead with him to stand by his work, after months of critics' picking them factually apart. He won't do it. He doesn't want to talk to "the media." He's said enough.
On the Thomas stories, which I read not when they came out but when they began to come under scrutiny, I had a similar thought, or a variation of it. I thought: That's not Iraq, that's a Vietnam War movie. That's not life as it's being lived on the ground right now, that's life as an editor absorbed it through media. That's the dark world of Kubrick and Coppola and Oliver Stone, of the great Vietnam movies of the '70s and '80s.
If that's what you absorbed during the past 20 or 30 years, it just might make sense to you, it would actually seem believable, if a fellow in Iraq wrote for you about taunting scarred women, shooting dogs, and wearing skulls as helmets. This is the offhand brutality of war. You know. You saw it in a movie.
If you'd had a broader array of references, and were less preoccupied by the media that is the great occupying force in our own country, and you were the editor of the Thomas pieces, you might have said, "Whoa." Just whoa.
I'll jump here, or lurch I suppose, to something I am concerned about that I think I am observing accurately. It has to do with what sometimes seems to me to be the limited lives that have been or are being lived by the rising generation of American professionals in the arts, journalism, academia and business. They have had good lives, happy lives, but there is a sense with some of them that they didn't so much live it as view it. That they learned too much from media and not enough from life's difficulties. That they saw much of what they know in a film or play and picked up all the memes and themes.
In terms of personal difficulties, they seem to have had less real-life experience, or rather different experiences, than their rougher predecessors. They grew up affluent in a city or suburb, cosseted in material terms, and generally directed toward academic and material success. Their lives seem to have been not crowded or fearful, but relatively peaceful, at least until September 2001, which was very hard.
But this new leadership class, those roughly 35 to 40, grew up in a time when media dominated all. They studied, they entered a top-tier college, and then on to Washington or New York or Los Angeles. But their knowledge, their experience, is necessarily circumscribed. Too much is abstract to them, or symbolic. The education establishment did them few favors. They didn't have to read Dostoevsky, they had to read critiques and deconstruction of Dostoevsky.
I'm not sure it's always good to grow up surrounded by stability, immersed in affluence, and having had it drummed into you that you are entitled to be a member of the next leadership class. To have this background in the modern era is to come from a ghetto, the luckiest ghetto in the world, a golden ghetto beyond whose walls it can be hard to see. There's much to be said for suffering, for being on the outside or the bottom, for having to have fought yourself up and through. It can leave you grounded. It can give you real knowledge not only of the world and of other men but of yourself. In some ways it can leave you less cynical. (Not everything comes down to money.) And in some ways it leaves you just cynical enough.
Journalistically, I was lucky enough to work at CBS News when it was still shaped by the influence of the Murrow boys. They knew and taught that "everyone is entitled to his own opinions" — and they had them — "but not his own facts." And I miss the rough old boys and girls of the front page, who'd greet FDR with "Snappy suit, Mr. President," who'd bribe the guard to tell them what the prisoner said on the way to the chair, and who were not rich and important but performed an extremely important social function.
They found out who, what, where, when, why. And they would have looked at the half-baked, overcooked junior Hemingway of Scott Thomas Beauchamp and said, "That sounds like a buncha hooey.

My Question is this:
What would you prefer: To Keep Perez and Bell, or to have Linebrink?
I'm not really sure i'd prefer linebrink.
I know this year Perez was BAD however i am not able to find a big difference between the 2....perez is younger has just as filthy stuff as Zambrano and has struck out 200 in a season already.....amazing that we got him as a throw in and zambrano for the #1 prospect in baseball
My Question is this:
What would you prefer: To Keep Perez and Bell, or to have Linebrink?
I'm not really sure i'd prefer linebrink.
i am all for giving perez a shot...he was the PIt openning day starter 2 years ago pitched 200 innings sturck out 240 and had era of 2.98 that doesnt happend by accident.....Originally Posted by Jermaine
i think we may have stolen him.....
Well SD was the one who didn't do the deal not the Mets. They backed out of the deal when they learned of Sanchez' injury, they wanted the Mets to up the price.Originally Posted by Jermaine
I know, I'm just saying, which way would you have had it if both options were available.Originally Posted by Ikeyman3
Personally I think Perez is going to be a stud. I'd take him.Originally Posted by Jermaine
Check out the Linebrink thread, I think Perez's potential is off the charts.
i would LOVE to see perez get a shot this year as the 5th guy....he has much more potential then mayne.....lets hope we see him up here...
is he in AAA now? does he even have any options left?
he should stay in AAA until he's demonstrated that he's worked out whatever issues plagued him in Pittsburgh...i think he could be huge for us, but i want to make sure he's back to his old self (or at least close too it) before we put him in the rotation...i wouldnt have a problem putting him in the pen come september though...Originally Posted by emslave

Pet owners are nuts, quite literally. So it's no massive surprise to see yet another means of personification in the form of dining room furniture. Enter the Pet High Chair. It clips securely to any table 2-inches or thicker and lets fido sit eye level with everyone else. It "assuages" you and your pet and supposedly fosters more "refined behavior" (from who?). Say what? The only thing this chair will do is tell your dog that you're not the alpha and that they can crap wherever they want.
Hammacher, who else, has it for $50.

The Libby commutation took the spotlight off of McCain's Q2 numbers, which was good for McCain, but it also seems to have drowned out a lot potential talk about the other R's Q2 numbers, which is bad for McCain, because those other numbers aren't so good.

Okay, I'll take the bait: Surely, John Solomon has better things to do with his time besides listening to a hairdresser scorned. (Oh, and if you like Torrenueva's work, I have a feeling he'll have a lot of openings in his schedule very, very soon.)

Dick Gephardt Endorses Hillary Clinton
The Clinton campaign has scheduled a 1 p.m. conference call to announce that she has picked up the endorsement of former House Democratic Leader (and presidential candidate) Dick Gephardt. (Raw Story had the news first.)

Libby-Polooza at Andy's Place
Andrew Sullivan is blogging his little British heart out over the Libby commutation. Worth reading in full, but here's a roundup.
I make no apologies for going cable on the Libby story. It's about a presidency above the law, and contemptuous of the justice system. It's about presidential defense of perjury. It's about the murky run-up
John Dickerson has my favorite take on the Gravel ad that has, uhm, everyone talking.
The Re-Insurgent
And on the topic who has really benefited from the Scooter commutation:
In a conference call with reporters, campaign manager Terry Nelson and senior adviser John Weaver insisted that a combination of massive staff and salary cuts and a renewed focus on face-to-face "retail" politics could pave the way for an upset in early primary
Mr. Fitzgerald Begs to Differ
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald does not dispute the prerogative that allows the President to commute Scooter Libby's sentence, but adds:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – As Thursday nights celebrations at the Chow Wagon began to wind down Thursday night, Louisville Metro Police say they made one arrest.
Police say 26-year-old Craig Probus was asked by officials of the Chow Wagon to leave as they were shutting down for the night.
Upon contact with Probus, police say he emitted a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and trouble standing.
When the responding officer tried to gently escort Probus from the facility, they say he yelled expletives at the officer and jerked away.
According to the report, when Probus was taken to the ground he resisted arrest causing alarm to other Chow Wagon patrons nearby.
Officers say a pat down of Probus revealed a 40 caliber handgun with one round which a nearby sign stated that carrying concealed deadly weapons were not allowed on the premises.
Probus' charges include resisting arrest, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, alcohol intoxication and disorderly conduct.

Townsville - Cowboys VS Dragons Rugby match
We finally arrived to Townville and went to relax at the Jupiters Hotel & Casino.
After a long shower and some internet surfing in the huge and luxurious hotel room, we went to the stadium of Townsville to watch the rugby match opposing the Cowboys team (Townsville team) to the Dragons.
The match was really exciting and the North Queensland Cowboys scored an important 24-20 victory over the second-placed St George Illawarra Dragons (hurray!). I also enjoyed the Cowboys cheerleaders dancing during the match… It's too bad we do not have some in France!

Cécile Aubry (3 August 1928 – 19 July 2010[3]) was a French film actress, author, television screenwriter and director. Born Anne-José Madeleine Henriette Bénard, Aubry began her career as a dancer. At age 20, she was signed to 20th Century Fox.
She made her break as the star of Henri-Georges Clouzot's Manon (1949), which won the Golden Lion at the famed Venice Film Festival. That brought her a leading role alongside Tyrone Power and Orson Welles in American director Henry Hathaway's feature The Black Rose (1950). She had a strong performance in Christian-Jacque's Bluebeard (1952), one of the first French-produced films to be made in color. For a short time, she was a Hollywood success, signing a lucrative contract with Fox, employing her parents as a publicity team, and regularly appearing in French film magazines as an example of the perfect hybrid of Franco-American femininity.[4]
Her film career was short. It was interrupted by a secret six-year marriage to Si Brahim El Glaoui, the eldest son of the pasha of Marrakesh. She announced her retirement from film in 1959, claiming that she had only enjoyed cinema for its travel opportunities. She went on to write children's books and scenarios for children's television with considerable success.[4][5]
She was known in France for her TV series for children, Poly, about a boy and a horse, and Belle et Sébastien, adapted for television from her books. The main character in both series was played by her son, Mehdi El Glaoui (credited as "Mehdi").[6]
On 19 July 2010, she died from lung cancer in Dourdan (Essonne), France, aged 81.[3]

History hasn't always been kind to Ulysses S. Grant, the great Civil War general and two-term president of the United States. He's often remembered as a drunk and blamed for the aftermath of the economic depression known as the Panic of 1873, neither fact verifiably true.
When playwright Elizabeth Diggs came across the two-volume "Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant," she was surprised to find his memoirs to be so beautifully written.
But she found the story for her new play, "Grant & Twain," when she learned that writer Mark Twain went into debt to publish and sell Grant's memoirs.
Newspapers reported daily on Grant's health and the progress of the book, which he finished three days before he died. "The country was watching," says Diggs, who teaches playwriting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
The playwright was intrigued to learn that the egotistical Twain, who adored his own fame, took such great financial risks to publish Grant's autobiography. He designed the books with three different bindings, took out multiple bank loans and leased all the printing presses in the region.
And then, in an act of Twain-sized marketing bravado, he hired thousands of Union veterans to sell the book door to door. "This amazing thing he predicted — that the book would be the biggest best-seller in American history — would turn out to be true," Diggs says.
Grant, played by film actor Marshall Bell, and Twain, portrayed by returning SLAC stage actor Morgan Lund, were American superstars of their time, two of the most famous people in the country. "Grant & Twain," which richly imagines the story of their unlikely friendship, will receive its world premiere at the Salt Lake Acting Company, Feb. 5-March 2.
The play is a character study of two men, opposites in personality, set against the historic backdrop of their time. "What solidified their friendship was a Ponzi scheme with Grant losing all his money," says director Keven Myhre, the co-executive producer of the theater company. "It always strikes me when we're dealing with the same things in a different time period."
"Grant & Twain" relies on period costumes and props but employs a contemporary storytelling style, with short scenes, a nonrealistic set and one character who stands in for all Union soldiers.
In the play, Mark Twain is 49, not the older sage with white hair and handlebar mustache wearing a white suit as represented by Hal Holbrook's one-man show. "I was told not to research Holbrook's Twain, because he's not that guy," says Lund, who praised how Diggs' play offers another view into post-Civil War-era history.
Bell, whose film credits range from "Birdy" to "Total Recall," characterized Grant as a broad, complicated man. "He presided over great acts of butchery but he was a sweet man," Bell says, and devoted to his wife, Julia ([played by Kathryn Atwood). "If you cry, you're going to cry about my relationship with my wife."
It's Bell's first paid stage role ever; he had a starring role in "Harvey" at age 16 in 1958, but that was a Denver high-school production. For years, he worked as a consultant to CEOs. He landed his first film roles at age 42, thanks to connections through his wife, an Academy Award-winning costume designer.
The play's war stories are all based upon historical facts, says Diggs, who is thrilled that the production is being produced during sesquicentennial celebrations of the Civil War. Diggs was familiar with productions at SLAC thanks to visits to town to see her daughter, documentary filmmaker Jenny Mackenzie ("Kick Like a Girl").
Embroidered into the historical facts are what the playwright imagined, that Twain coached Grant in the writing process. She wove those imaginings into the story of why the former general's aide, Adam Badeau (David Spencer), was dismissed from helping Grant write his autobiography.
The marks Spencer's return to the Salt Lake Acting Company stage, after the Nephi native moved to New York City several years ago. Longtime local theatergoers will remember Spencer's blockbuster performances, such as lawyer Roy Cohen in SLAC's 1995-96 production of "Angels in America" or as a narcissistic German transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf and more than 30 other characters in the 2006 show "I Am My Own Wife." Spencer and Lund last shared the SLAC stage in 2007's Moonlight and Magnolias."

It's been pretty quiet on the Phoenix Coyotes' franchise future front lately, but that may change fairly soon.
At some point in the not-too-distant future, it's expected the NHL will endorse one of two groups that are currently showing some interest in the purchase of the franchise for the purposes of keeping it in Phoenix.
One group is headed up by former San Jose Shark president Greg Jamison and the other involves sports magnate Jerry Reinsdorf, who's been in and out of this process almost from the beginning. Right now, he's back in apparently. Jamison's group would appear to be the underdog; Reinsdorf's group the favorite.
But in any case, the field needs to be narrowed to one so that group can get down to serious negotiations with the City of Glendale and the NHL to take control of the franchise, which is currently being operated by the league with losses of up to $25 million being underwritten by the City of Glendale.
The aim would appear to be to have a signed, sealed and delivered agreement by sometime early in 2012. If that were to happen, it would mark the end of a long, messy saga and the Coyotes could have some degree of stability knowing they're staying put for the foreseeable future.
But if no agreement of that nature is in place in the New Year, there's every reason to believe the league will look at putting the franchise on the open market and, subject to league approval of course, entertain offers from ownership groups who would be buying it to move it elsewhere.
One thing would appear to be certain: This is the last season that the NHL will operate as the caretaker owner and the City of Glendale will underwrite losses. So the Coyotes' franchise will have a new owner next season, it just remains to be seen in which city they play. Obviously, as has been the case all along, the NHL's preference is for that location to be Phoenix.
The Columbus Blue Jackets, minus the suspended James Wisniewski, are off to a 0-4-1 start and the news only gets worse from there. The Jackets' other prize off-season acquisition, Jeff Carter, has a hairline fracture on the same foot that required surgery following the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs and there's no telling when he might play again.
The Blue Jackets initially suggested Carter would perhaps only miss one game and be able to play through the pain. While no timeline has officially been specified by anyone, Carter's agent Rick Curran did say the player will play when the injury is healed, which is to suggest it may be one thing to play through the pain of a fractured foot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it may be another thing to do it five games into the regular season. Actually, Carter has been playing hurt since originally injuring the foot on the second day of training camp.
So that all sounds an awful lot like Carter going from day-to-day to perhaps week-to-week, which would not be great news for a club that had such high hopes to start the season and now finds itself on the verge of getting buried in the first two weeks.
There continues to be a lot of Kyle Turris trade rumors surfacing, including some that say teams have made "significant" offers to the Phoenix Coyotes; all of which is apparently news to Phoenix GM Dave Maloney, who continues to be adamant that the Coyotes are not trading the restricted free agent who hasn't come to terms on a new deal, and that if he plays anywhere in the NHL this season, it will be Phoenix or bust. If Turris isn't signed by Dec. 1st, he's not eligible to play in the NHL this season.
Colorado Avalanche General Manager Greg Sherman has as many as eight restricted free agents coming due at the end of this season – including cornerstone players Matt Duchene and Erik Johnson – but it doesn't look as though he's in any hurry to sign them to extensions.
Sherman said he's comfortable waiting until the end of the season to negotiate new deals for the RFAs, which is a stark contrast to how New York Islanders General Manager Garth Snow approached things with his cornerstone player, John Tavares. Tavares, with one year left on his entry level deal, signed a six-year, $33 million contract before the season began.
Tavares and Duchene are, of course, forever linked. Tavares was taken first-overall in the 2009 NHL entry draft; Duchene was taken third-overall. They've posted almost identical numbers in their first two years in the league; each had 24 goals in their rookie season, and each had 67 points in their second season.
One might argue they'd be worthy of similar contracts, but with Tavares signing early, it will be interesting to see what kind of numbers Duchene puts up this season and whether that means he could end up with substantially more - or less - depending on his performance.
Colorado's other RFAs besides Duchene and Johnson are Ryan O'Reilly, Peter Mueller, T.J. Galiardi, Kyle Quincy, Ryan Wilson and Kevin Porter.

"Go clubbing has become an integral part of nowadays social interaction. From 'night life' we expect pleasure, desire, fun and hilarity – at least this is suggested by advertising and society. The photo designer Hanna Witte questioned these expectations in her series Nacht.Leben. Her portraits reveal the world of the protagonists during a clubbing night. The images provide glimpses and avoid giving away to much from the stories behind. They tell about a different story of clubbing nights – loneliness, rejection and isolation, while being surrounded by many people."
Hanna Witte's series "Nacht.Leben" (night-live) has been photographed very clean, but the work is nevertheless convincing. – Sometimes I feel that the 'design' in photo design is a little bit too much weighted at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund.

Having vassals almost break the game. You get most of their surplus finances, which combined with the AI finances scripts mean you'll get loads of money constantly.
Ballistas can have their use, depending on the situation. For instance, they can be very overpowered in siege defense. Have a couple of spearmen tie the enemy down, and then have your ballistas fire into the blob of enemy units. Result is quite a lot of dead enemies per shot.
ballista's are a must in bridge battles, one direction to go for the enemy,
delicious and nutricious!
Point your Ballista with fiery bolts at them and watch them running amok!
Siege defence:
If enemy is shooting at your walls put your ballista out and shoot at the catapults/siege equipment.
The only real use i have found for vassals is to secure a border indefinitely. However that faction will normally opt for utter destruction then vassal-ship and by the time they do accept it they are normally down to 1 or 2 settlements.
Ballistas really aren't worth the effort, just to inaccurate. Catapults and the exploding barrel things are the best for anti-units.
both ballista and catapults make a killing when you defend in a siege. place first the ballista and behind it the catapult (both on fire & fire at will) on the townsquare as far from the enemy as possible; then make two hedges with spearman on guard (so they won't get in the shooting path), so that the enemy will engage them rather than your ballista or catapult. Use your general or other cav to engage any units that might get through to your ballista or catapult. If you plan it right, they can both get up to +5 experience from the amount of men they kill, and are devastating to the morale of your oponent.
Science flies you to the moon.
Religion flies you into buildings.
Victor Stenger
Ballistas are ridiculously good in the city square and defending against bridges. The key is aim at the back of their line.
Never tried ballistas, but mangonels are very very very effective, specially against a very large army.
Cassius: "Our men at arms have secured the city. We've received representatives from all the best elements. The senate is with us, the knights are with us."
Brutus:"The pontifs, the urban cohorts, the lictors guild..."
Antony: "Oh, the lictors guild, very good. Only rally the bakers and the flute players and you can put on a festival."
i found the way to make ballista more accurate ! in descr_projectile just add one zero from this accuracy_vs_units 0.04 to accuracy_vs_units 0.004 !!!
It's half of their income, and should be seen by the positive income from diplomacy.
"I'm going to tell Allah everything..."
Dead three year old Syrian childs last words
I like Ballistas. I use my catapults to bring down walls and then put my Ballistas in a position where they have a nice shot on units covering up the hole the Catapults made; the result? A lot of dead enemy units, allowing my Infantry to come in and finish the job off.
I made the ME_ballista into a "Greek Fire Launcher" that shoots pots of Greek Fire. Its pretty sweet.

Productivity and the Euro-Dollar Exchange Rate Puzzle
AbstractThis paper documents the evidence for a productivity based model of the dollar/euro real exchange rate over the 1985-2001 period. We estimate cointegrating relationships between the real exchange rate, productivity, and the real price of oil using the Johansen (1988) and Stock-Watson (1993) procedures. We find that each percentage point in the US-Euro area productivity differential results in a five percentage point real appreciation of the dollar. This finding is robust to the estimation methodology, the variables included in the regression, and the sample period. We conjecture that productivity-based models cannot explain the observed patterns with the standard set of assumptions, and describe a case in which the model can be reconciled with the observed data.

Fly Like Me (Explicit, Single)

Released: Nov 2007
Label: Disturbing Tha Peace / Def Jam Records
It's infatuation as epiphany, and Ching-a-ling is "toasting the sky" as he lays his eyes on a "princess," the sort of girl who is a "dime from a distance" and provokes dreams of physical flight in the ST. Louis rapper. Bryan Michael Cox's spacious, ostensibly sexy production (think "Pimpin' All Over the World" meets "Shake it Off") provides the perfect backdrop for this tale of love found.

In December of 1986, scientists at Chernobyl, searching for nuclear fuel from the destroyed Reactor #4, made a breakthrough.
Deep in the basement of Block 4, an enormous, radioactive mass was discovered. The radiation level on the surface of the mass was 10,000 roentgens per hour. To approach it directly would mean certain death, so a crude, wheeled camera was rigged up to take a look. The mass was two metres across, and several tons. Because of its shape, it was christened "The Elephant's Foot."
The mass appeared to be corium - a lava-like molten mixture of portions of nuclear reactor core, formed during a nuclear meltdown. It consists of many things: nuclear fuel, fission products, control rods, structural materials from the affected parts of the reactor, products of their chemical reaction with air, water and steam, and, in case the reactor vessel is breached, molten concrete from the floor of the reactor room. Analysis showed that sand from the reactor area had absorbed the hot nuclear fuel and fused into glass. The discovery of The Elephant's Foot gave scientists, for the very first time, the idea that an enormous amount of nuclear fuel escaped the reactor in this form.

Understanding Autism
By BRITTANY TATE The Brunswick News 11This is the personal side: One of those children is a granddaughter of Dr. Herman Levy, a pulmonologist at Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-Pulmonary Medicine and acting president of the Triumph Foundation, an autism support foundation in Brunswick. Autism, or autism spectrum disorders, includes a range of neurodevelopmental disorders that involve socialization, communication or behavior. It is believed to be caused by genetic mutations that alter brain development, which, in turn, affects social and communication development. This leads to repetitive behavior and restricted interests, Levy said. "Unusual behavior, such as hand flapping, frequent tantrums, self mutilation and difficulty tolerating change or transition may be indicative of autistic behavior. (But) why the autistic spectrum disorder develops and how it develops is incompletely understood. Brain abnormalities may play an important role in the development of autism," Levy said. "The complexity of (autism spectrum disorders) and the numerous manifestations of this problem leads one to conclude that there are multiple genes involved. Research points to a genetic reason, (because) environmental factors based on present knowledge account for only a minority of cases of autistic spectrum disorders." Levy says toxic exposure and prenatal infection probably account for only a few cases of the disorder. There is some evidence that low birth weight, problems during childbirth, parental age, obesity, diabetes and hypertension in the mother may increase the risk of adult spectrum disorder development, Levy said. There is evidence that refutes claims that childhood immunizations cause autism. "To date, there is no association of adult spectrum disorder associated with immunizations. Numerous studies have shown that the measles vaccine and thimerosal - a mercury preservative used in vaccine - do not cause autism," he said. Learning disabilities are present in about 45 to 60 percent of individuals diagnosed with being on the autistic spectrum, Levy says, and less than 10 to 25 percent of cases are associated with a medical condition. Levy says in Glynn County schools, students with autism make up more than 10 percent of the special education enrollment. That percentage is based on the number of students eligible under state guidelines on autism and doesn't reflect the number of students who may not have autism listed as their primary disability. Levy says autism doesn't just affect the child, it affects an entire family. "Parents dealing with autism may find it both a challenge and heartbreaking. With children who have Down Syndrome, you can still get through. But with children with autism, there's a block there, and you can't get to the child. It adds tremendous frustration in families," he said. "Parents who are concerned about having a child with a difficult temperament, delays in socialization and concerns about language development should bring this to the attention of their health care provider. Parents can also contact a developmental pediatrician. They are able to address the problem associated with (autism)." * Reporter Brittany Tate writes about lifestyle topics. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com, on Facebook or at 265-8320, ext. 317. Signals The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says these behaviors may be among indicators of autism in children that should be evaluated by a doctor: * Not responding to his or her name by 12 months of age. * Not displaying an interest in objects (such as pointing to an airplane flying overhead) by 14 months old. * Not playing "pretend" games (such as pretending to feed a doll) by 18 months old. * Avoiding eye contact and wanting to be alone. * Having trouble understanding other people's feelings or talking about their own feelings. * Having delayed speech and language skills. * Repeating words or phrases over and over. * Giving unrelated answers to questions. * Being upset by minor changes. * Having obsessive interests. * Flapping hands, rocking or spinning in circles. * Having unusual reactions to the ways things sound, smell, taste, look or feel. Get involved As part of National Autism Awareness Month, Triumph Foundation will have A Walk for Autism at 10 a.m. May 4 at the Brunswick Exchange Club Fairgrounds, 101 Emory Dawson Road, Brunswick. There will be entertainment, games, arts and crafts, informational booths and lunch. Registration and check-in will begin at 9 a.m. The cost is $10 per person or $35 per family of up to five people. Individuals and family members of those individuals affected by autism will be admitted free (only five people per qualified family will be admitted without charge). The deadline for pre-registration online at awalkforautism.eventbrite.com is 5 p.m. Friday. Call 289-2021 for details.

The difference between the weak and mass eigenstates in the PNMS matrix
View Single Post
Feb6-12, 08:07 AM

Vanadium 50
If you took a bucket of stopped pions, and could very, very accurately measure the electron energy in the decay π→e+v, you would see three peaks, one for each of the mass eigenstates. Essentially, there are three different decays: π→e+v1, π→e+v2, π→e+v3.
Quote by
Isn't electronness conserved?
No. We know this because neutrino (flavor) oscillations exist. An antineutrino that was created together with an electron, e.g. in nuclear beta decay, can be absorbed in a reaction that produces a muon.
My interpretation of the mathematics is that if you could select a neutrino with a particular mass by measuring the electron energy precisely in the decay that V50 describes, then that neutrino would be a mixture of e, μ and τ neutrino states, at least from the moment that you measure the electron energy.
Furthermore, it would be a non-oscillating mixture because it would be a pure mass state. The probabilities of getting an e, μ or τ when the neutrino interacts, would be constant, and not vary with position or time as with neutrino oscillations.

You can't measure early stage brand equity, but it's there. Great companies are great at branding. It takes intuition to spot them early!
RT @ws: I usually see right through those emails, but the coffee thing is endearing, and it's positively swayed my view of a newer company.
It seems like big data tech panels are always staffed by enterprise sales companies rather than actual technology companies.
Most companies start by just randomly using analytics tools, but data strategy should come before data tactics. What's missing?
If I were investing in companies, I would demand founders who are interdisciplinary, if in not their current skillset, then in their upside.
If I were investing in early stage companies, I'd be a lot less complacent about the founders than any investors I've met.
Your company can focus on what you're building, what others are building, or what the market needs you to build. The latter is recommended.

"This is a truly brilliant tumble dryer. Almost flawless I'd say. If there is any one gripe it's the noise but then again it aint' that bad either (I usually have to close two doors to almost entirely block the noise out). It handles a large amount of laundry in one go (8kg) and dries as well as could possibly be expected and extremely thoroughly.
I've never had this dryer going for more than 85 minutes and that was only one time. It has basic maintenance and the most complicated thing is cleaning the condenser unit, and the best way to do that I've found is to pop it in the sink and just use a watering can (or similar) a few times to rinse it through thoroughly (if your sink is shallow, like mine that is…).
Other than that the fluff filter and water container are so easy to clean/drain it's a joke. Easily one of the best purchases I've ever made. Get one, you won't be sorry. Seriosuly considering indesit for any potential future purchases as well."

For a large family, you'll need a big machine to help you with your drying. That's where the IDC85 comes in. It's simply design, making it very easy to use, and does exactly what it says on the tin. No complicated features, just effective drying.
With an 8kg capacity you can dry the equivalent of 24 wet T-shirts. It'll even take the duvet cover, sheets and pillow cases for a king sized and three single beds. It's sure to make wash day much simpler for you.
Thanks to the reverse tumble action which moves the drum in both directions, it's excellent at preventing creases in your clothes. It's really useful for saving time and effort on your ironing. There's a removable filter too - it's easy to clean so you'll always have the most efficient machine.
Another popular feature is the refresh option. It uses cool air to get stale smells out of your clean clothes. It's very handy for jackets and blazers and especially good for lifting out smoke smells too.
As a condenser dryer you can store it almost anywhere. It doesn't need to be externally vented. All the excess water is collected in a water bottle which is really easy to access. This needs to be emptied frequently so that it doesn't hinder the performance of the tumble dryer.

think you missed the point on the glyphs - it wasn't to make rogues more powerful or make the really good pvp'ers and pve'ers change their glyphs.
It was just to make the not-so-good ones a bit less bad and provide a tiny bit of choice or at least make the consequences of experimenting or making sub-optimal choices less severe.

Agreed. I personally am quite excited with being able to swap out my TotT glyph for Feint on fights like Sindragosa where my heals can use any help they can get. Also, on a more self-centered note, less dmg from the Chilled to the Bone debuff means I can stack it higher w/o taxing said healers which means higher personal dps at the loss of a little extra dmg to my TotT target throughout the course of TotT. TotT doesn't get the uptime it usually does in that fight anyway.
