Spotlight on Gin: Some New Favorites
Straight Up Cocktails
As we've mentioned before here at the Kitchn, gin's been making quite a splash lately. Long edged out by vodka, this crystal clear, juniper-berry-flavored grain spirit is now reclaiming its rightful place in the spirit world.
While U.S. liquor store shelves were once limited to basics such as Gordon's and Beefeater, and premiums such as Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray, refreshing new choices have started to turn up from unexpected places (France, Scotland).
We want to hear your favorites. Here are a few of the newer gins on the block we've sampled recently:
DH Krahn. This small-batch American gin is a surprising standout. Clean, exceptionally smooth, and well-rounded, it's flavored with the botanicals juniper, coriander, orange, grapefruit, and lemon, with an added touch of ginger. At a mellow 80 proof, it's free of the harsh bite of many gins. A new American upstart.
Hendrick's. There's been quite a bit of talk about this one in particular here at The Kitchn - for good reason. This delicate Scottish-made gin is first instilled with coriander, juniper, and citrus peel, then infused with cucumber and rose. Light and ethereal, this gin really shines in a Martini garnished with a thin cucumber slice.
Bulldog. Dark and squat with a spiked collar, the bottle's a real attention-getter. In addition to juniper, this gin is flavored with poppy, lotus leaves, and dragon eye (a cousin to the lychee fruit that carries some fanciful health - and potency - claims). A good, solid, muscular London dry gin.
G'Vine. A small-batch French gin made with a neutral grape spirit and then flavored with the flower of the Ugni-blanc green grape. Delicate and floral, it's a smooth, accessible gin that works nicely with fruit juices and garnishes.
Plymouth. An old classic that's been making a timely comeback. Produced in Plymouth, England since 1793, it has a slightly sweeter and rounder taste than London dry gin. Clean and well balanced, it's a versatile player, and has recently become our go-to brand. Makes a mighty fine Martini - or Gibson.
What's your favorite gin?

I said it last time but I'll repeat it here--I love Martin Miller's, which is pretty citrusy and is delicious in a G&T (or anything else). I'm glad gin is back in vogue because I've always much preferred it and it's fun to see interesting gin cocktails on lists.
Just tried Martin Miller's for the first time last week.
Was very smooth.
Victoria Gin. Organic, distilled in copper and yummy.
My favorites are Plymouth, Aviation, and Junipero.
My current favorites are Gin No. 209 and Citadelle.
I wish I liked New Amsterdam more than I do, given its relatively low cost.
I'll second 209....
Hendrick's is by far the best gin I've ever tasted (and I went through a phase in college...). Crisp, different, and delicious, I can't help but lick it off the side of the bottle after pouring a G&T.
Asking âWhat is your favorite gin?â is like asking âWhat is your favorite food?â It depends. What cocktail do I crave? How was my day? Is it winter already? Do you happen to have any of that Luxardo Marachino Liqueur? What kind of paté is that?
I'll focus on at least four: 1. Martin Miller (www.millersgin.com), to bring a spicy zing to whatever Iâm drinking. 2. Junipero (www.anchorbrewing.com/about_us/junipero.htm)
in a martini to rejoice after a difficult day. 3. Hendricks (http://www.hendricksgin.co.uk), because it dares to be
different 4. Surprise Me (http://wiredgin.com/gindex)
because I like to explore new gins all the time.
Many of these gins that you comment on are indeed good, however, I would have to agree with the post on this one that DH Krahn is the standout. After reading positive after positive review about this gin, I decided to seek it out as it is not yet available in my state and it lived up to all the hype. Great balance, interesting flavor profile with the citrus notes and ginger spice at the end. I am a big gin drinker so I like to have flavor in my gin and this one certainly did. Makes a perfect southside or tom collins. Better yet, put it over a couple rocks with a fruit zest or slice of cucumber.
Gin was never my go-to liquor... until I tried Hendrick's. I'm a convert. A martini, g&t, or gin lemonade is now my preferred drink. Plus, it gets me to eat more vegetables, assuming my cucumber slice garnish counts as something of nutritional value!
I had to try Hendrick's because my son's name is Hendrik. And wow, it's delicious! We generally make G&Ts with it.
No contest! From the above comments you have obviously not tried the best - Brockmans is the one! You have to try it! So smooth and great just on the rocks or even great with ... wait for it .... ginger ale!! You can find it at www.drinkshop.com - not sure of other stockists - can anyone let me know where else I can buy it. Cheers!
Martin Miller's everytime. Its perfect because it offers two types so there's one to suit every cocktail. The 80 is soooo smoooooth, and Westbourne has a real kick, though neither are overpowering on the citrus front.
It's also stood the test of time, its been around for ten years, so most of the newcomers are learning from them.

Were some teams using tricky transmissions in the Challenge?
By admin | May 18, 2009
By Richard Allen
Were some teams in the Sprint All Star Challenge using tricked up transmissions or some other unapproved gadgets to help them get going on the restarts?
I have no way of knowing, but at least one driver thinks something was not exactly above board when it came to getting going on those all important late race restarts.
If a team were to ever try to 'get into the gray area' this would have been a good race to do it. After all, it was a non-points race so to have something go wrong and cause a DNF would not be so damaging in the grand scheme of things.
"The 24 and the 18 have something going on in the transmission or something like traction control,†the accusing driver told his crew. "They downshift to 1st coming to the green, then shift to 2nd at the restart and never spin the wheels.â€
There was not necessarily an accusation of cheating. Perhaps the comment was meant as a wish for having the same 'gray area' gadget.
In such short races, or segments, getting going on the restarts is essential. For $1 million it may well be worth the risk of getting caught, if the teams were indeed doing something illegal.
Ultimately, if there was anything going on with those two cars it may have come back to bite them when the two got going so well at the start of the final 10 lap segment and eventually got into and eliminated each other.
This race has had a reputation of teams 'pushing the envelope'. Ray Evernham's Jurassic Park car prepared for Jeff Gordon comes immediately to mind.
There may not have been anything going on at all. This could have simply been a case of the imagination of a driver who wanted to be higher up in the running order.
If indeed there was something going on that was either illegal or in the gray area look for several cars dropping out of the next couple of races for the same reason. Then, look for everyone in the garage to be talking about having something new, or there to be a new rule against whatever this thing is.

It has been obvious to anyone watching last season and so far this season, that when Kylie Busch is up front, he has the uncanny "ability" to pull away from EVERYONE on restarts. And it doesn't matter which series it's in. Cheating SOB!

No True Church? No True Church History.
One of the criticisms of Orthodoxy's understanding of its own history (not to mention, Roman Catholicism's) is that there really is no unbroken Christian tradition of anything at all, that Church history is really just about multiple movements, doctrines and practices that cannot coherently be traced back to the Apostles. This is essentially one version of the historiography of the anti-ecclesiologists. If there is no true Church, then there certainly cannot be any true tradition of continuity.
The above is the first paragraph of a post I published today on the Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy weblog, entitled "No True Scotsman does Church History Polemics." It deals with one of the approaches to Church history taken by those who not believe in one, true Church (what I call the "anti-ecclesiology"), simply denying what those who lived in the centuries prior believed about their Church, that it is the unbroken continuation of the very Church of the Apostles.
I hope you like it.
"Too catholic to be Catholic": Communion with Idolaters?
A post of mine from March, Evangelicals at the Eucharist, has inexplicably been getting a bit of traffic again over the past few days. I was assured in the comments that, in my criticisms of Dr. Peter Leithart's call to Evangelicals to return to putting the Eucharist at the center of worship, I was pinning the wrong guy. But a close reading reveals that I was not so much attempting to critique the full body of Leithart's work, but rather speaking in the same "room" that he was speaking in, i.e., modern Evangelicalism, which is as Zwinglian as the day is long. Leithart might have a relatively "high" view of the Eucharist, but the people he's speaking to, on the whole, have almost no view of it at all. Why? Because they have no priesthood.
That said, in the midst of the comments was posted a new piece from Leithart, Too catholic to be Catholic, published on Monday, in which he professes himself "too catholic to be Catholic." The closed communion discipline of Roman Catholics and Orthodox makes them "sects," and he is "too catholic" ever to do such a thing. It is essentially a "Why I'm not Roman Catholic or Orthodox" mini-manifesto.
I read Dr. Leithart's post with interest, and its internal contradictions are really quite astounding. He is so "catholic" that he would welcome the Orthodox and Roman Catholics into communion, while in nearly the same breath actually proclaims us to be idolaters! While it's not made evident in this post, it is also the case that he borrows heavily from theologians in those communions, which may be part of why he has been brought up on heresy charges (acquitted, mind you) by his own denomination. By his own definitions, he's actually using idolaters as a source of theology. If this is catholicity, it has to be the weirdest type I've ever seen.
Catholic here seems to mean being so inclusive as to accepting to communion not only heretics but even idolaters. (Remember that an idolater is someone who unrepentantly worships an idol as a god.) I wonder whether communion should have any limits at all then—resumably not, as he decries the "closed communion" of his fellow sons of the Reformation. Should it even be extended to the unbaptized? It makes little sense to me that Leithart would remain apart from the Orthodox and Roman Catholics on the basis of his doctrines—doctrines which proclaim us and most Christians throughout the ages to be idolaters—and yet somehow chafe at the exclusivity of the tradition of closed communion?
Leithart writes, "To become Catholic I would had [sic] to contract my ecclesial world. I would have to become less catholic – less catholic than Jesus is. Which is why I will continue to say: I'm too catholic to become Catholic." But his "catholicity" would include communing unrepentant idolaters. Is that really the kind of catholic Jesus is? The Scriptures proclaim that the temple of God has no agreement with idols, which makes me wonder how he arrived upon his notion of Jesus' "ecclesial world."
It also occurs to me that, in speaking of communion, when you have to refer to an ecclesial world rather than the Church, you have a big theological problem. For the Orthodox, the Church is communion.
In arguing for his "catholicity," Leithart at least appears to have accepted the Roman Catholic definition of catholic, which is "universal." Mind you, Rome applies this universality in terms of its governance, but Leithart appears to be applying it in such a sense that it obliterates the very point of sound doctrine, which is to guide the believer in his communion with Christ in His Church. Either Leithart would gladly admit idolaters (the Orthodox and Roman Catholics) to communion, or else he is simply unhappy that the lines that he would draw for communion are different than the ones that others do. Either way, it makes little sense. I suspect he means something different by catholic, however.
In any event, the traditional definition for catholic is not the ultramontanist one Rome uses nor the confusedly pietistic one of Dr. Leithart, but rather simply what the word actually means—katholikos, from kata and holos, "according to the whole." That is, the catholic faith is the whole Christian faith, and the one Church is catholic because she maintains the wholeness of the Christian faith, not merely a few minimal parts. One cannot, for instance, debate whether Scripture must be somehow read apart from the tradition that produced it or whether succession from the Apostles avails anything at all, considering such things non-essentials, and yet somehow be catholic.
Likewise, his preferred self-moniker, reformed catholic, also makes little sense from the proper definition of catholic. If his faith is truly whole, then why should it need reform? Even if catholic just means "inclusive" or "universal," then why the need to be "reformed"? It seems to me that no reformation is warranted for someone who wants to commune with idolaters. Why reform them or anyone else when they're not cut off from your altar? What is actually gained by reform, if not communion?
I must admit that I honestly do not understand the Leithart version of catholicity (though I suspect what he really means by it). He seems to be a man very much concerned with sound doctrine, and yet soundness of doctrine apparently should have no effect at the chalice. But St. Paul warns us otherwise.
As for how becoming Orthodox or Catholic reflects on converts' former religious experience, Leithart seems not to be aware of something that is amply available in nearly any convert story out there. Most converts do not, in fact, see their previous religious experiences as wholly devoid of grace, as being defined by unmitigated darkness, but rather as having been in some sense a propaideia—a preparation for receiving the fullness of the Christian faith, a preparation for which they are usually quite grateful. I know very few who look on their former communions as Leithart fears they should. Of course they will look on where they've converted to as being better, else they wouldn't convert. But Leithart would have someone whose convictions run that way stay where he is!
There is quite the irony that, while he quails at the idea of an ex-Protestant convert to Orthodoxy or Rome looking on his previous Protestantism as lacking something, he himself looks upon the Orthodox and Roman Catholics as outright idolaters. Thus, the only solution to this convert syndrome seems to be for everyone to stay where he is. The only possible solution to the extreme contradictions of doctrine between the various communions is pietism, the denial that doctrine even matters.
He seems to apply this pietistic dogma-muzzle selectively, though. After all, he still has big criticisms for many of us. But if we were to convert to his way of thinking, would we not then have to look at our time in our previous communions as, in his words, "living a sub-Christian existence"? In the end, it seems that this argument against conversion is really just a cryptic argument that his Christianity is indeed the one true kind. I have no problem with that, but he should just say it: Don't become Orthodox or Roman Catholic, because they're wrong and they're idolaters. Become (his variety of) Reformed, because it's the one true way. But I think saying it outright wouldn't be "catholic" for him.
It seems to me that catholic, at least in this piece by Leithart, is really just a synonym for pietism, dressed up in a grand old word with powerful theological import, yet evacuated of its proper meaning.
Update: Here's a related critique by a Lutheran. (Thanks to Chris Jones in the comments on this post for pointing this out.)
And here's another Orthodox response (part 1) to Leithart, written by a member of my parish, pointing out how Leithart's "Reformed catholic" view is at odds with most of the Reformers and has its provenance in Zwinglianism. See also part 2 and part 3.
Also worth reading is this thorough response by a Roman Catholic, especially pointing out the deep connection in the ancient Church between doctrinal orthodoxy and communion.
Update: Leithart has issued a clarification on what he means by "idolatry" and so forth. Here's my response:
It seems to me that he again wants to define a word (idolatry) in a new way and then claim that his definition is the right one. We "brethren" of his are, it seems, too idolatrous to be Idolatrous.
His analogizing doesn't work here, though I suppose one could pick up his analogy and turn it around a bit—it is Protestants in their myriad factions who are manifestly those who have departed from any sense of an undivided Church, set up their own "high places," and then are demanding that the Temple in Jerusalem be torn down so as to legitimize their schism and heresy. (I would of course also include Rome as having departed from the Church, though the pattern doesn't quite fit the analogy.)
Rome left the Church through heresy and schism, and Protestants left Rome through the same process. It is now nearly the height of anachronism to demand that the Orthodox join the (at least) twice-separated Protestants in their innovative doctrines and man-made worship.
In any event, the analogy doesn't really hold. Ancient Israel is not the Church but only a foreshadowing of it. One could still be part of ancient Israel on the basis of birth and circumcision, but entering and remaining in the Church require the apostolic faith. One could not really divide from ancient Israel, but division from the Church is clearly shown as possible in not only the New Testament but in all subsequent history.
Again, Leithart presumes his own relativistic ecclesiology and simply expects the rest of us to follow. He claims that believing in one true Church is "easy" (as though something being "easy" is an argument against it), but in our relativistic age, that claim actually ruffles quite a lot of feathers—despite that point of ecclesiology having been almost universally adopted prior to the 20th century, even in Protestant circles. His "divided Church" ecclesiology is really the much "easier" approach, aligning as it does with the spirit of the age and its mindless call to "inclusiveness."
It's easy (there's that word again) to call someone a "sectarian" when you don't want to measure up to what it takes to be in communion. But the one who has cut him off from communion from Orthodoxy is not the Orthodox, but himself, and he remains so deliberately, thus revealing himself as being the sectarian.
He is at least consistent when he says that, according to his ecclesiology, Christ is divided(!). What that reveals about his Christology is left as an exercise to the reader. (Or, you know, St. Paul.)
A commenter on Facebook also adds this: His "clarification" is just as confusing as his previous post. The divided kingdoms were divided as God's judgment against them, and to top it off the Northern kingdom was completely eradicated. Does this mean then that God will send in a group to eradicate the sectarian "northern kingdoms" of Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and Catholicism?
Another commenter has this to say: There's no difference between 'high place' and 'golden calf' worship re: the Northern Kingdom. Both were part of an attempt to accommodate YHWH worship to the then current culture by Jeroboam son of Nebat (in fact, Scripture generally lumps them together as 'the sin of Jeroboam son of Nebat'). I see nothing in Orthodox or Catholic worship that compares. Quite the opposite. The comparable current trend is evangelical worship that attempts to accommodate the worship of Christ to the current American culture. A lot of the comments on your blog tell me that there are some folks out there who need to go back and reread these passages closely.
Before he brought up I Kings for no good reason, I thought he was connecting the 'idolatry' charge directly to the Eucharist…if so, that's an old (and to my mind valid) charge made by the Reformation against Rome (at least since the Libri Caroligni), but doesn't apply to Orthodox practice at all.
Una Sancta: Fundamentalism, Ecumenism and the One True Church
I believe that the church in which I was baptized and brought up 'is' in very truth 'the Church', i.e. 'the true' Church and the 'only' true Church . . . I am therefore compelled to regard all other Christian churches as deficient, and in many cases can identify these deficiencies accurately enough. Therefore, for me, Christian reunion is simply universal conversion to Orthodoxy. I have no confessional loyalty; my loyalty belongs solely to the 'Una Sancta'.
- Fr. Georges Florovsky, "Confessional Loyalty in the Ecumenical Movement"
A number of times in my life, especially since I have been ordained, and even moreso since I began writing and speaking publicly, it has been suggested to me (usually second- or third-hand) that I am some kind of fundamentalist—meaning not merely someone who holds to fundamentals, i.e., orthodoxy, but rather someone who is an intolerant militant.
Likewise, it has also been suggested to me (again, usually indirectly) that I am some kind of ecumenist—and here is meant not merely someone who will bother talking with other confessions and religions, but who will compromise with them on the truth.
I sometimes wish I could get these two groups of people together to let them have it out, and perhaps then I might know which sort of extremism best suits me by virtue of deciding who among these partisans I find most sympathetic. I suspect I will never get my wish, however.
Nevertheless, I believe it is the responsibility of any gentleman who aspires to integrity to take the words of his critics to heart, if only to remember why he does not agree with them. Also, I believe the issue of where exactly an Orthodox Christian ought to draw the line in these questions is very much something worth reflecting on. (I have written on this before, mind you, but that has never stopped me from doing so again.)
Suffice it to say, I do not believe that either fundamentalism or ecumenism (each as defined above) is befitting an Orthodox Christian, the first because it is a sin against love and the second because, well, it is a sin against love.
That fundamentalism is a sin against love is evident to all but the fundamentalist himself. This attitude, that it is I who possess the truth in and of myself, that it is I who am right, is fundamentally an error. Orthodoxy is not a measure by which people are judged to be correct or in error. Orthodoxy, because it is the truth, is actually Jesus Christ. Jesus said that He is the truth, and so we Orthodox rightly affirm that the truth is not a set of concepts which one can get right or wrong, but that the truth is a Person. Therefore, the one who is truly in union with that Person cannot be a fundamentalist, because he will have transcended worldly categories of rational correctness. He also cannot be militant, because the One with Whom he is in union is pure gentleness and respects the free will of mankind, having granted it Himself in the first place.
Ecumenism is likewise a sin against love, and, again, that is news to the ecumenist. He probably thinks he is acting in the interests of love, setting aside all that pesky dogma that divides and does not unite. But love does not lie, not even to spare the feelings of the beloved. And ecumenism is fundamentally based on the lie that there is no truth, that there are only "truths," whose meaning never touches mankind such that he becomes responsible to something beyond himself. Rather, these "truths" are put in service to mankind.
Both fundamentalism and ecumenism (again, I stress: as defined above) are in their essence not remotely Christian. Why? It is because their purpose is always born of and directed toward this world. The fundamentalist serves worldly logic, always demanding correctness, while the ecumenist also serves another worldly logic, demanding instead social aims such as "justice" (defined typically in purely material terms) or "unity" (again, in material terms, not in terms of uniting with the one Christ). Neither fundamentalism nor ecumenism are actually about the truth, because they are about mere concepts (often about the truth), not about the Person Jesus Christ (Who is the truth).
Orthodoxy's telos has always been directed away from this world, toward the Person Who is Truth Himself. That is why, as per Florovsky's quote above, an Orthodox Christian must believe in only one Church, the Una Sancta ("One Holy," from the Nicene Creed). Why? Because we believe in the whole Christ, according to the phrase of St. Augustine that Florovsky himself loved, totus Christus, caput et corpus ("the whole Christ, head and body"). Christ cannot be divided, and so there cannot be many churches. There can be only one Church.
Believing this and defending this to those who would deny it does not make one a fundamentalist. Why? It is because the uniqueness of Christ, which is the uniqueness of the Church, is not any human achievement. It is nothing for which I can take any credit. It is only something to which I can attempt to adhere. By my sins, I frequently separate myself from the Church, and it is only at the eschaton, the end of all things, when it will be known whether I will be fully and permanently joined with Christ.
Admitting that I am a sinner and do not understand the truth fully also does not make one an ecumenist. Why? Because God actually did reveal the truth, and He revealed that He is the truth. We cannot compromise on the nature of the truth—Who is a Person—any more than we can compromise on any other person's nature. We can argue and issue agreed statements and overlook various points of doctrine all we want, but none of that will change the nature of Christ. He is Who He is. Working out a "confession" to which one must be loyal or to which disparate parties can agree is ultimately irrelevant to the reality, as though some "version" of Christianity could be found to be sufficient. The task of the Christian is not to discover the truth (or worse, "my" truth) so that it can be publicized to mankind but to be responsible to what was actually revealed to mankind. There is discovery to be made, but the discovery is how I may further conform myself to the revelation, not the revelation to me.
Yes, I believe that the Orthodox Church truly is the only Church. Seeing what I have seen, how can I believe otherwise? And I also wonder, how can anyone else who holds to some faith believe otherwise concerning his own faith? If what you believe is not truly the truth, why do you believe it? How is it worth your dignity and your loyalty if it is not the truth? Nothing is worthy of the name truth that does not call humanity to its knees in repentance to be transformed into what is higher and nobler.
What makes belief in the Una Sancta something that cannot be used as a weapon against others, something that cannot be turned into a fundamentalism, is that none of us truly knows whether he will finally be found in the Church at the end of time. The Church is not mine. The question is really whether I am the Church's.
Likewise, the Una Sancta cannot be turned into a project of ecumenism, because the Church is truly the Body of Christ, the corpus of the totus Christus, and there is no amount of word-wrangling that will change the God-man Jesus Christ. In the end we must stand (in the words of the great Akathist of Romanos) "as mute as fish" before this mystery of incarnation.
Let us pray that in the end we will be found not to have neglected so great a salvation.
Update: For the sake of clarity, I thought I should make explicit that the definitions of fundamentalism and ecumenism used above are not my own, nor do I prefer them. To me, both words are almost entirely evacuated of any real meaning these days. I will, however, proffer my (observed) definition for fundamentalist as found in the wider culture:
fundamentalist, n. Anyone who is more serious about religion than I am, especially if he owns a gun.

Now say a prayer of thanks to our Sys! And all the ships at sea!
They are bustin some serious ass to put this back together I know this and I am grateful that DROOOL is where it needs to be - THANKS ADMINS!!!!!!
Thanks I'll send you a Fruit Tree. (We ALL MUST HAVE FRUIT!)
After viewing all that; I either need a spanking, or some manly sort of fruit!
Lady April: Ok I guess I am going to have to be descriptive. Develop that mental picture of gorgeous Michael, YUM YUM! He looked rather attractive at the recent reunion. My eyes kept darting to the side of the stage upon which he sat. Crossing my legs just thinking about it. DAM! I might just have to go watch it again. What was it? About the 15 minute mark or so we all got our Michael moment where we were fully entertained by the senile old man with John calling him "love" - me toes are curlin' again!!!!!
I kept noticing Mikey's nose. *big grin* Love that nose. It has changed much over the years. I mean I do realise that your nose is one of the few body parts that keeps growing through your life. Michaels went from cute and upturned to, as he aged, straight edged and mature. Blends well with the jawline *sigh*
His smile still sends me..............
I only wish I could make my mental pictures more visual. All of cyberspace and Michael himself would kick me off the planet ;-P
BroMaynardG: Ah, But the Challenge. I DID post that DROOL was like THEE longest thread, and I am sure that Jeanna will be Assaulting and Battering our dear Sys until he makes it so!
There was a change of Databases. In migrating data from one to another, there are glitches. I recall one I did with 5 and 9 digit zip codes, the first time we did it it treated the 9-digit zip code as an arithmetic equation. It subtracted the final four digits from the first five digits. The program saw the "hyphen" as a "minus sign".
BTW! - I just accidentally hit the "Back Arrow" to return to the previous screen.
Guess What? When I returned, the text I'd typed was still there.
This has been a hair-pulling event in the past. Because if I just hit the left mouse key (or if I waved my hand and air blew over it [just the tiniest bit]) I'd loose the tome that I'd just written.
And I know how much y'all like reading my tomes! (Right?)
I will do a real test to check this out later today. But right now I want to see if Carole Cleveland is winking, in the very least. Or if she is wearing something more supportive!

kisch: I think we all need to calm down a bit and be positive.
Maybe all the pix will resurface one day. Just a bit of patience and good humor... after all this thread is dedicated to Mr Palin, not sum grumpy old moaner.
I understand webmasters, they work hard and a lot of troubles I'm sure happen on the way.
It's very easy to complain and be disappointed.
Lady April: Oh *SIGH* , What is a DROOOOL thread without the visuals anyway? All my pics that many have posted here are still gone... this is very sad :-(
cry. all pics gone., what the hell is going on? pythonline really sucks now!
Still sad as now we have to write detail that will often times get nasty and mabey even pornographic. So we have no pics at all then for these blogs accept for the heading pic - which wasn't the one I placed there in the first place?
Lady April: Ok I am a bit annoyed here.... This WAS my station, this was NOT the picture for the station. Where are all the pics posted in here over the past year? Where are alll my blogs? This blog had 21 votes and now it is 0. WTF? Where are all the front page articals? Not to mention the threads and the pic gallery. Is this just a blog site now?
With The New And Improved PythOnline (400th Anniversary?), comes a little "Beta-Testing" time.

Lancaster Bomber: One or two more pics for you ladies, from Michael's talk in Cheltenham today.
Sorry about the quality of the one on stage but I was on the front row and didn't want to use a flash right in front of him.
ALSO sorry to disappoint you all. Like most of us from Yorkshire he agrees that the greatest living Yorkshireman is Geoffrey Boycott. I know Michael is a very modest guy but he did reaffirm this belief infront of a very large audience today. (But I admit he does come a close second to Geoffrey)
but where the hell are they??? where are all the other pics we've been uploading since we're here?!?!?!?!?!!?
hmm. What happened to them ? Wonder if |I've made another mistake and should have put them in the gallery ?
No kidding! Where is everything? Like on this whole site??? This is utterly confusing. My station is no longer my station UGH!!! I wonder what else.....
I love the photos, thanks for posting them!
Videor Quaero Punctume
Thanks for these pics!!!! How fabulous it must be to see and listen to him DO his THING! The 3rd pic, the blurry one is total hilarity! Very cool ;-)

Go Away Spammers | We Have All The Spam We Can Eat | Don't Try Selling Us Any Goat-Hair Beards
It has been the longest thread since about a month after I began the thing! Whenever that was anyway..... The man is just GORGEOUS! YUM YUM!
Hi all! Yes, I agree. The new look Website is not user friendly. If anyone can find the photo gallery, let me know. Keep them Python boys close! x And let's all drooooooool over the man Palin! x
I'm totally confused! I was confused to begin with , being new to a computer! But this has just made it worse! I'd just got used to finding the stuff! Still they can't take our Michael away from us! We must stand together and droooooool on!!!
I'm sure there are millions of us out there who think he is cute! But there is only one lucky girl I'm afraid! Good luck to her though! I'm sure she appreciates him! Lovely pic too!
I know exactly how you feel!I have more pictures of Mike in my picture file than I have of anyone else! Good job hubby can't use a computer! I agree Mike is incredible in every way! He's a very special and very talented man! I'm glad to be sharing him with you!

Arrested Development fans! I need your help! I've posted a life goal of mine on Kickstarter.com to raise money for a screen printed T-shirt business. I want to make shirts for Harry Potter fans and AD fans and other witty/pop culture stuff.
I've raised 56% ($364) of my $650 goal and I only have 11 days left. If I don't reach my goal, I don't get any of the money pledged and I can't get these awesome shirts made.
I've tracked how these shirts have spread around Tumblr and the awfully kind things people have said, but nobody's pledged. You get rewards for donating! Check out the page. If you can't give, reblog and tell your friends about it!

that moment when a random kid's life suddenly owns yours: a gif story post
this all was too insanely cute not to gif.
So, I think we all know how this story begins. I just wonder what they're talking about.
If that isn't amazing enough, the kid gets to FIST BUMP with Mariano:
The father (or so I assume) nearly gifbombs this with his extended arm, but I can't blame him. You'd be excited too if Mariano took your own kid under his grace for a moment. In fact, this part might be my favorite:
I just love how you can make out "Hall of famer!" so we all get the point he's trying to make.
And can we briefly go back to that kid's smile after he was done talking to Mariano Rivera?
This is like the ultimate trump card. Seriously. You can do many awesome things in life, but this kid will be able to say, "I talked to Mariano Rivera at Wrigley Field, and we fist bumped." This probably can't be topped - it would only lose to someone who, what asked what awesome moment they had in life, answered, "Hi, my name is Mariano Rivera."

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that… (2003)
by Erik Larson

Compact | Rate recommendations
This book was very good, but I personally found its robust history and wandering detail kind of exhausting. In the end, it prevented me from finishing the book. I may try and pick it up again someday, when I have more patience for that sort of thing.
Written so well and in elegant style, I had to keep checking to make sure I wasn't reading a fiction novel. This biography follows the lives of two men, an architect and a serial killer. Their stories are told against the backdrop of industrial Chicago- a marvelous yet equally terrifying sight to behold. The novel skyscrapers were praised but many said to walk away from it and never look back. A masterpiece, worth the read.
What a fascinating book! It brought to life another time period and made me rethink all that I knew about Chicago architecture and about the time period in general, as the nation looked toward Chicago and the world's Fair. I can understand the reasons for the parallel story, but found it awkward and made for an uneven pace and while it tried to contribute to the narrative, found it only frustrated the tale.
Really enjoyable drama in multiple story lines. A very fun read; I plan on reading more Erik Larson because I enjoyed this so much.
Very interesting reading.
it could nearly be Broadway, but Larson - who might be the last living writer still to use the word "harbinger" - does not successfully resolve an interesting idea into a wholly cohesive narrative. Evoke as he might, Larson's pre-emptive declaration early in the book that, while both "handsome and blue eyed", the "two never met" undermines the plot of a history book that reads like fiction.
In ''The Devil in the White City,'' Erik Larson, the author of ''Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History,'' wants to tell the whole story, both the glory of Burnham's creation and the sordid details of the first known urban psychopath in American history. It is not a comfortable fit. He uses language well, but has little sense of pacing or focus, perhaps because of the huge amount of material available on the fair.
Mr. Larson has written a dynamic, enveloping book filled with haunting, closely annotated information. And it doesn't hurt that this truth really is stranger than fiction.

Wikipedia in English (10)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375725601, Paperback)Author Erik Larson imbues the incredible events surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with such drama that readers may find themselves checking the book's categorization to be sure that The Devil in the White City is not, in fact, a highly imaginative novel. Larson tells the stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the fair's construction, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor. Burnham's challenge was immense. In a short period of time, he was forced to overcome the death of his partner and numerous other obstacles to construct the famous "White City" around which the fair was built. His efforts to complete the project, and the fair's incredible success, are skillfully related along with entertaining appearances by such notables as Buffalo Bill Cody, Susan B. Anthony, and Thomas Edison. The activities of the sinister Dr. Holmes, who is believed to be responsible for scores of murders around the time of the fair, are equally remarkable. He devised and erected the World's Fair Hotel, complete with crematorium and gas chamber, near the fairgrounds and used the event as well as his own charismatic personality to lure victims. Combining the stories of an architect and a killer in one book, mostly in alternating chapters, seems like an odd choice but it works. The magical appeal and horrifying dark side of 19th-century Chicago are both revealed through Larson's skillful writing. --John Moe

Alan Stubbs' side can seal top spot on Monday.
Everton Under-21s can seal top place in their league table with a point or better at home to Sunderland on Monday.
The Blues' second-string have been in impressive form in the second stage of the campaign and a draw or victory at the Merseyrail Community Stadium can ensure they finish at the summit of Group One with two games remaining.
The reward for such a feat is a place in the final phase of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League competition - something that manager Alan Stubbs believes his side deserve for stringing together their current 12-match unbeaten run.
With second-place Aston Villa losing to Fulham on Sunday, a solitary point is now all that is required from Monday evening's meeting with the Black Cats.
And speaking to evertontv before the weekend, Stubbs insisted his young Blues have what it takes to get the job done.
He said: "Being honest, I expect them to get over the line because there's no way they're going to fall short now with the effort they've put in over the year.
"It's a stage of the season they've probably never come across so I've said to them that I'll take all the pressure so that they can go out and perform.
"We've got to focus on doing what we've been doing, which has been really good."
Sunderland head into the contest bottom of Group One, with just four points from 10 games.
One of that tally was picked up at home to the Blues in February - a game that Everton rallied from 2-0 down to draw.
"Sunderland have probably had a tough time when you look at the group," Stubbs added.
"But it wasn't an easy game when we played them up there.
"Whatever the results have been, they'll always give you a tough game. We'll be ready and waiting for whatever they come with on Monday."
Regardless of the run-in and eventual outcome, Stubbs insists his troops have done themselves proud.
"I've got to say the lads have been fantastic," he said. "Their effort, desire and willingness not to be beaten has been commendable and hats off to them.
"At this level, sometimes it's a balancing act. The most important thing is performances and not neccessarily results. But in order for them to keep performing and gain confidence, you do need results along the way.
"We don't ideally want them winning every week by playing badly. We want them to perform because ultimately that will help them get near the first-team. The fact that they are performing and improving all the time will give the manager a headache, whereas if they're not playing well, they won't get anywhere near his squad.
"They deserve to finish top but they've got to go out and earn it
"Looking back now and being really honest, they've achieved more than I expected - and that's all credit to them. I set them a target of going through this group unbeaten and at this moment in time, we are still on course to do that.
"If we can come through these next three games unbeaten as well, I think we will be worthy winners."
Kick-off for Monday's game is at 7pm. Everton Season Ticket holders and FOREVERTON members are able to gain free admission to all home Under-21 fixtures at Southport.
Members of the public can gain access by payment at the turnstiles (adults £5, concessions £3). Southport Season Ticket holders will also be able to gain entry for free.
For those unable to attend, evertonfc.com and the Club's official Twitter feed will provide updates, with highlights and interviews on evertontv on Tuesday.

According to Fort Gordon officials, power went out at about 10:30 a.m. Friday morning. They say it is affecting nearly 80% of the installment.
Georgia Power crews are not sure what caused the outage, but they think a power surge on Washington Road may be the cause.

trying to stay ahead of developers who want to cover historical markers... and the weather, time and vandals that obscure the inscriptions... to honor those that walked before us.
Although I visit cemeteries whenever I travel (to the dismay of others in the car), most of my work is in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York's lower Hudson Valley and Washington State's Skagit County.
Whenever possible, I post a photo--a photo makes it real. I also try to list the sources I've used to stitch together family relations or any info that I might find. I will not link to those who are listed as burial location unknown.
Thank you in advance for sending in corrections or additions

Thank you!!!
I just want to thank you for photographing and posting the info on the graves in the Meadow Meeting House Cemetery in Corinth, Vermont. Many people in my husband's family were buried there, and it has been so helpful to have the information you posted. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do!!!!

RE: William Hazen
Hi, Back to you!!!
Yes, I received a message also from Sara, and just finished responding. It's incredible that you have replied so early ... with all that you do.
I think I was just caught off guard when I first saw "Arthur HAZEN" Obelisk on the William HAZEN Tribute Page. It took me awhile to finally gather that the large memorial was for all of them ... the brothers and their wives ... once I had visited the same obelisk as I was working on the other individuals named.
A picture of the opposite side would be great. In lieu of that [and until time allows -- there's no hurry], Sara proposed that she could write a brief explanation - I think that would be very helpful.
I'm so pleased to have a chance to communicate with you. Your work is AWESOME!!!
Thank you again ... Regards ... :-)

RE: Ella B, Rollin etc.
I thought my email was public - it is email@example.com. Thanks for the info you sent on Ella B , will try to find her 2nd marriage & a death. It has bothered me that I couldn't find it. My research came from family records in Pennsylvania & once I had the correct New England lines & the appropriate names & census I was off & running. Earl Henry Johnson married Bernice Maude Chaffee they had one daughter named - Beverly Esther Johnson. She was born in North Thetford, Orange County, VT. There are strong family ties to Vermont & New Brunswick, my grand daughter and her "other" grand parents & of course their children had no clue of the history and strong ties to New England. In fact, they did not know where Earl was buried or where he died. That was recently discovered in a basement document at my son-in-laws parent's house. I kept saying, there has to be a document somewhere and there was!So more & more of the story unfolds....Much of what I have found is posted on the Bathgate Sheaffer Family Tree on Ancestry. Are you on Ancestry? I could send you this tree link via email, would need yours. Kayla Snyder

RE: Rollin Johnson
I am concerned about the daughter you posted on Rollin's page - I have not found any reference to her at all. Anna or Annie Beatrice Johnson born 1891. What have you found on her? You mentioned she married a William Sorenson, I just can't get it to work...any more details? I do believe that Earl went to live with his grandparents in Theftford, VT, they are in the 1900 census together, no Ella or Anna. Kayla

Hi, LadyGoshen and first of all thank you very much for all your hard work in recording cemetery data on Find A Grave.
I note that on the above Memorial # for Lucille Starr Scully that she was the daughter of John Starr and Catharine O'Donnell. I believe, in fact, that she was their granddaughter. She was never married and her maiden name was Scully and her actual middle name was Starr.
She was a first grade teacher in the Hartford, Vt School District for many years.
Again, thank you for all your hard work.

Geer Cemetery, Griswold, CT
Dear LG. I found 2 stones in the Partridge Family Plot that may very well be Ruben and his wife. They are next to Samuel and Ruth's stone. The inscriptions are too worn to read except the dates look to be 1820 on one and 1820 or 1829 on another. Please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll send you some shots of the stones and the cemetery. Please use "Find A Grave Request" in the heading.

I've looked up lots of grape wine recipes on the internet and they all include seem to use sugar. Is that how "real" grape wine is made?
I was under the impression that grape wine you bought at the store was just mashed up grapes and yeast, do they put sugar in it as well?
How do I make a red wine similar to what i get at the liquor store?
Most grape wines (commercial ones especially) use only grape juice as the source of fermentables. If you want to make wine like you buy at the store, your best bet to start are wine making kits. They usually come with a full amount of juice or some juice concentrate that you reconstitute. They come with any additives you may need and also the yeast.
I make quite a bit of kit wines valued around $100CAD for my sister, I can't remember the equivalent cost per bottle to compare with the commercial ones but they're very good quality wines.

I had no idea that Samsung had plans for a dual SIM variant of their S4. Either that makes me incredibly remiss as a supposed tech journalist, or this info wasn't well publicized – I'd go with the former.
Dual-SIM phones are something of an obscurity here in the US, since travel from country to country isn't as common as say Europe, where providers can vary by just a few hundred miles. This version of the Samsung S4, the I9502, boasts a very similar spec as ours. But instead of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 processor, it uses the Exynos 5 Octa, which might squeeze out a bit more performance, but at what battery cost I don't know.
That all said, it's likely that this version of the S4 will never officially hit the US, since there doesn't appear to be any LTE connectivity. Yet, I'm sure one could eventually buy this phone in the US, provided of course you're willing to pay full retail via Ebay, or some variation there of.

(Reuters) - The failure of electrical generators on two new Boeing 787 planes are normal problems for a jet program that is just entering service, the company's chief executive officer said on Friday.
"We're having what we would consider the normal number of squawks on a new airplane, consistent with other new airplanes we've introduced," Boeing Co
"We regret the impact on our customers, obviously," he added. "But ... we're working through it."
On Thursday, Qatar Airways said it had been forced to ground one of its three Boeing 787 Dreamliners after it found the same electrical generator problem that recently forced a Dreamliner operated by United Continental Holdings Inc's
McNerney also said many major companies would say their employment and investment decisions are being affected by the "fiscal cliff."
"Eventually ours will, too," he said. "But we're in a longer-cycle environment."
McNerney said he hoped that solving the fiscal cliff would not impede longer-term tax reform.

Top Hollywood bigwigs were more than willing to take the Middle East oil money to produce anti-fracking propaganda and keep quiet about it all — until they got busted by Project Veritas.
In stark contrast to mainstream media's headlines of an imminent collapse of an Antarctic ice sheet, sea ice levels there are the highest ever recorded.
With supposed "global warming" still on pause for almost 18 years and counting, the United States has seen its coldest year ever so far in 2014, according to U.S. government temperature data compiled by climate researchers.
It didn't take long for President Obama's latest doom-and-gloom-packed "climate change" report to be thoroughly debunked by independent scientists.
In what is nearly a replay of the Climategate e-mail scandal of the University of East Anglia, independent climate blogger Brandon Shollenberger has been threatened with a lawsuit and arrest if he releases data that climate alarmists left online unencrypted showing their claim that 97.1 percent of climate scientists "endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming" is false — and a huge fabrication.
Critics say the controversial "Next Generation Science Standards" being rolled out in multiple states represent an attempt to indoctrinate future generations.
Speaking with Secretary of State John Kerry at the State Department on May 13, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius asserted: "We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos."
The federal forest service is preventing cattle from watering in drought-stricken New Mexico in order to protect a mouse's habitat.
The Pentagon believes "consensus" claims that the climate will be warming and is devising military strategies based on these claims. But is our military going to be like Admiral Halsey and sail into a disaster it doesn't expect?
The Obama administration is being very secretive about its installation of solar panels on the White House, perhaps because they're expensive and ineffective.

I do not like this product.It has too strong smell.It does not sink into the skin.It broke me out terribly.Now I use it only under my eyes it works fine there.I will not repurchase.
More reviews by savethemarianne
I really liked this serum face bar. I use it as a night cream and actually I find it usable as an under makeup moisturiser if my skin is especially dry. It helps a bit with my dry skin flakes, but I have used richer, better creams than this. Having said that, this is only £7.50, whereas most night creams will set you back £30ish. I find the anti-redness abilities (calamine lotion is it's second most prevalent ingredient) just as good as it's moisturising abilities, so this is great for those with redness. I apply this directly to my face to minimise wastage and it goes on like an oil. I don't think this would work for oily/combination skins, this is more for really dry skins. I like Lush's no packaging approach, I keep this in a little shampoo tin but I think you could put it in any cheap tupperware/box. If you have dry, red patches skin and want a bit of moisture and skin calming, try this.

I love this little bar - I have dry to very dry sking and am about to turn 40. I live in an extreme climate (Montreal Canada) and my poor skin suffers badly in the winter - heating,dry cold weather, wind burn. This serum is a must for me at night - it soothes and heals my skin overnight to fight another day! It is easy to apply but takes a while to sink into my skin. Not one to use in the morning though, a bit messy for that. A few people hate the smell, I don't like or hate it. Is fine for a lush product. Have had my bar for over 3 months and have used about 1/4 of it so it is a good value for money.
If you have dry, sensitive skin that has a hard time in the winter give this a shot, I think you will like it! x

I've been hearing about LUSH for some time, and wanted to try a little something. I have extremely dry skin, and this looked to be just the thing, and at around 13 bucks, eh, why not.
1) Eventhough it makes my face look fresh and glisteny, it does not absorb well, so it just kind of lays there. However, as a night time under eye moisturizer, it's pretty fantastic. It feels so smooth, and soothing, and when I wake up, the skin under my eyes is nice and moisturized.
2) Some people seem to not like the scent. I think it is lovely. It smells just like rose petals with a very subtle under note of nutmeg.
3) They recommend you melt it in your hands and rub it on your face, but that ends up wasteful. I rub the bar directly under my eyes after cleansing.
4) This will not work under makeup. Waaaay too oily. Your foundation will slide.
5) You'll need a little covered dish or something to keep it in, because it comes just wrapped in plastic.
If you're looking for an under eye night time treatment, or have some chapped areas, then this is for you, and the little bar will last for many months used everyday.

This is probably a really good add-on to a moisturising routine, especially in winter when the skin gets unusually dry.
I often use it in the evening after cleansing and toning. If you massage it in for a few minutes it will sink into the skin easily.
It definitely reduced red patches of dry skin on my cheeks that I have had for weeks. It's also very nice to use around the eyes because it's much more moisturising than my regular eye cream.
It did make me break out and clogged my pores a bit once, so be cautioned.
Overall, I'm pretty sure I would buy it again, because it helps very much on the dry and red parts of my skin. Use sparingly on the T-zone!
this product breaks me out even when the salesperson told me this is good for combination and sensitive skin. used it twice, and it broke me out horribly. i have like pimples/breakouts at the spots where i rubbed the serum on. so i know this product is the culprit.
jojoba oil is the way to go for me.

Love this little bar. I use it at night and don't wear any moisturizer on top but it''s enough for my combination skin which usually goes dry in the winter but not since I'vebeen using this little magic. The price is cheap considering i've had it for 4 months and haven't repurchased yet. I use it with the Lush Toner.
A nice product, but sadly it breaks me out every time I use it. It is extremely rare that I get spots so it was quite a shock when they started popping up everywhere after using this a few times! :( It took a few attempts of using it to realise it was definatley this little bar that was the culprit, it must be too rich for my skin. I also found it better used at nightime as it can leave skin a little greasy and takes a while to sink in. I'm sure for the right skin it would be a lovely product, it's mystery why mine seems to hate it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was very keen on to try this out, but...the smell of the product is just too terrible. I really can´t stand it at all. I could feel it in my mouth when I breathed! Essential oils are the reason, but still... I wonder if I got some over-parfumed version, because somebody said that the smell was mild!? :oO
I have been using this for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! So far this has HG status for me: I have suffered with rosacea for years and I've tried tonnes of products but nothing has worked like Full of Grace. My redness decreases every time I use it, it soothes, smooths and moisturises and it has even cleared my skin of spots - I hope this is never discontinued! It's a miracle worker!
