What is Intelligent Design?
According to sources close to the IDEA Center, "What is intelligent design?" was a question on Jeopardy to which the answer was something like "a theory which is a 'rival to evolution.'" The reported category was "Smart Stuff." It looks like ID is making its way into popular culture. (11/03)
The Design Inference at Toyota:
Methods of detecting design seem to have had success in the field of criminology. An article in the The Sydney Morning Herald, "
Toyota raided in Formula One industrial espionage investigation
," reports that police raided the Toyota Formula One racing team's factory in Germany after detecting, "the apparent similarity of Toyota's TF103 car to the F2002 driven by the Ferrari world champion, Michael Schumacher." This is an example where complexity (the design of a car) and specificity (the pattern of the Ferrari's car) helped make the design inference. (11/3/03)
Science Teacher makes Moral Objection to ID:
An article in
The Science Teacher
, "
The Risk of Intelligent Design
" (by Lawrence C. Scharmann), makes a moral objection to intelligent design stating that we would not "like" to infer intelligent design to explain how some male insects hijack and kil other males who are mating to inject their sperm through the dead male into the female. The article fails to note that intelligent designed objects need not be aesthetically pleasing--as much as we hate it, torture chambers and nuclear weapons are all designed objects. However, the deeper point missed here is that this is a theological objection about the final (i.e. moral or metaphysical) cause of a biological structure, whereas intelligent design is merely a description of the efficient cause (i.e. the mechanism by which something was made). ID stands independent from moral issues, and if one wants to delve into those philosophical and religious questions, JudeoChristian religions provide plenty of answers to for the reason of the existence of natural evil. The article also states that ID does not make good predictions and prevents us from using evolution. The article fails to realize that many ID proponents affirm that evolution can make useful predictions involved in microevolutionary processes, and many of these have positive implications for research into medical problems like antibiotic resistance. However, ID does not seek to totally supplant evolution, but merely serve as a companion theory which can explain the origin of complex biological information. This has other implications, for if we are designed, then perhaps reverse-engineering could also help us make good predictions about solving medical problems. The article makes no mention of many failed predictions of evolution such as the failed expectation that DNA woul be junk, which could have grossly retarded our understanding of the cell, and medicine. (11/03)
Pro-ID student article in U. West Florida Newspaper:
Travis Huisken, student at the University of West Florida, wrote an article, "Stonehenge, you and intelligent design" in which he makes a case that we can recognize certain objects in nature has having been designed based upon the specified and complex information they contain. Huisken inadvertantly provides an answer to the "why don't journals support ID" objection in noting that, "Anyone who reads scientific technical journals, such as
, is acutely aware of the connotations of design in the language explaining biological systems. In describing what goes on in cellular systems, today's molecular biologists speak of rotors, stators, information, factories, chaperones, transcribers, machines, and more. Even the term "design" gets used frequently. Though Huisken notes that "many scientists (like Richard Dawkins, for example) argue that when we speak of design in nature, we should only be speaking of "apparent" design" or like Francis Crick, believe we were designed by aliens. Huisken concludes asking, "If, indeed, we are the products of an intelligent designer ... it may be prudent for us to ask ourselves: What were we created for?" (10/30/03)
Robert Pennock Criticizes Intelligent Design in Science Journal:
ID critic philosopher Robert Pennock has a paper critical of intelligent design, "
Creationism and Intelligent Design
" published in
Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics
(Vol. 4: 143-163, Sept. 2003). The article notes that creationism is defined as including, "rejection of evolution in favor of special creation ... [and] standard reliance upon arguments from ignorance." Pennock notes that Supreme Court Justice Scalia in his dissent in
Edwards v. Aguillard
stated that, "[t]he people of Louisiana, including those who are Christian fundamentalists, are quite entitled, as a secular manner, to have whatever scientific evidence there may be against evolution presented in their schools" but calls it a "loophole to get [creationist] views into the classroom under this rubric of 'evidence against evolution.'" Pennock states that intelligent design is a "legal idea behind to begin with a minimal position that can get into and pry open such a legal crack." Pennock no where describes where ID proponents use "arguments from ignorance" but quotes phraseology from ID advocates that makes it sounds like ID is a religious theory. However, Pennock does not refute Scalia's logic that religious persons, including religious scientists, should have the right to have evidence presented that may favor their views, as long as it is scientific. Pennock does not explain how Dembski's theory for detecting design leads one to "special creation." Pennock calls ID "creationism" but apparently gives no rationale for how the theory of intelligent design fits under his own definition. Pennock writes, "ID activists will often adamantly deny in public forums that they are promoting creationism, even though the religious basis of their view is quite clear in their writings and speeches to supporters, and most of their arguments against evolution are little different than those of creation science." Yet Pennock can only say this after quoting the harshest critics of ID rebutting the empirical evidence supporting intelligent design through investigations into information contained in the cell, cited by Behe and Dembski. With a very bland treatment of the scientific controversy and refusing to acknowledge that ID proponents have responded to their critics in many fora, Penock dismisses the scientific evidence stating that the ID movement has suffered a "complete lack of success in the research phase" and thus, Pennock concludes, must be religiously motivated. The primary evidence it has failed comes from the lack of publication of ID concepts like irreducible complexity in mainstream journals from leaders in the ID movement such as Behe. Pennock does not note that Behe did submit such a paper but it was not published because the editor said it did not conform to "orthodoxy." Had such a paper been published, many of Pennock's charges would seem innocuous. If this form of paradigm-change-resistance is what is really stifling the advance of ID, perhaps the circumstantial case that Pennock makes that it is merely a religious concept is weak, and ID has more to offer than Pennock would have us think. Indeed, given that Pennock's article opens and closes with mention of the high levels opposition that leaders of the AAAS have mustered against ID, it appears that mainstream scientists, and Pennock, are not interested in giving ID a fair hearing. Perhaps Pennock's case against ID needs to be re-thought.
American Spectator Discusses Intelligent Design theory:
An article in American Spectator,
The Mystery of the Missing Links
found that skepticism of evolution is growing:
Last Saturday at breakfast with my flatmates, there was a pause in conversation. Hands up anyone who has doubts about Darwinism, I said. To my surprise all three a teacher, a music agent and a playwright slowly raised their arms. One had read a book about the inadequacies of Darwin Michael Dentons Evolution: A Theory in Crisis; another, a Christian, thought that Genesis was still the best explanation for the universe. The playwright blamed the doctrine of survival of the fittest for capitalist misery and the oppression of the people. Nearly 150 years after the publication of Charles Darwins Origin of Species, a taboo seems to be lifting.
The article goes on to discuss that the intelligent design movement is leading the challenge to evolution, but then claims that evolutionary biologists are finding more and more evidence for macroevolution. Though the nature of this "evidence" is not discussed, the article concludes that both ID proponents and Darwinists should seek to reconcile religion with science.
AAAS Exemplifying Paradigm-Change Resistance
In a statement issued by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), "
Board opposes teaching intelligent design theory in science class
," the AAAS declared:
The AAAS Board of Directors has passed a resolution urging policy-makers, scientists, and other members of the public to oppose teaching "intelligent design theory" (ID theory) in the nation's science classrooms, noting that the concept has so far not been supported by credible scientific evidence.
In declaring a victory before the battle was even fought, the AAAS is not exhibiting scientific openness nor tentativeness, but rather the paradigm-opposition of Thomas Kuhn. The statement makes no actual discussion of any of the evidence, but only encourages policy makers to abide by their statements. Interestingly, the reason why they feel it is merely an "interesting philosophical or theological concept" and not a "scientifically based alternative to the theory of evolution" is because, "Intelligent design theory has so far not been supported by peer-reviewed, published evidence." Yet the resolution makes no mention that when ID proponents have attempted to publish their work, they have met resistance from editors who have claimed it is merely outside of "orthodoxy" (see
this article
for details). The AAAS would thus put ID in a catch-22 situation, where they encourage scientists to oppose it because it isn't science, and why isn't it science? Because it can't get peer review publication. But what scientist would risk her career and go against the AAAS--the largest and most influential scientific organization in the United States? Thus, no journal would publish on ID because it violates the AAAS mandate, but the AAAS states they shouldn't publish because they haven't been publish. In effect, the AAAS has set up a system of standards for ID which it knows it cannot meet. This is the essence of paradigm-opposition of Thomas Kuhn, where scientists tend to resist new ideas, such as intelligent design, but not for evidential reasons. We hope that freedom of thought will return to science and scientists may once again consider intelligent design without fear of the thought police. (11/29/02)

Woody Sez
A fine musical portrait of a groundbeaking folk singer (played by David M. Lutken with understated charisma), whose best songs speak for the dispossessed in all times and places. -- Don Aucoin, Globe Staff
Woody Guthrie left a legacy of music and social activism which influenced Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, and other music greats.

Here is a mini game I did for Shane Appleby that has been released so far.
Here's my mascot in NanoBlock I'm currently making for fun! Planning to post on Official NanoBlock FB page soon.
Wiper Woman is finally out! It is an IOS game I did game development for is now in iTunes app store!!
The game design inspiration came from my favourite iPhone game, Temple Run when I traveled to India last year. The whole game development process took about 8 months. Please feel free to check out my company website and teaser as well!
It's been a while since I posted. Mainly because I'm busy working on my own game project…
Thanks to Driv Loo for invited me to join his Makanlah Buah-buahan Tempatan Exhibition '13 at Publika(Malaysia), July 12- 14. Apparently this is my first time to participated in an art exhibition!
A few months ago I worked on an animation that similar to Goku's Kamehameha and Ryu's Hadouken. It reminds me there is still a character called Domon Kasshu's Sekiha Tenkyoken who has the same skill with them.
So here is another piece fan art of Mobile Fighter G Gundam I've done recently. Large sized
The end of the world is coming…
A project continued by Radio Woon. See more in 2012 type
Memories are the footprints in our minds… Life is tough, travel more!
My recent dabblings with cute 8-bit style~
This blog not only about Toribard, but also as my personal art blog!
Here's a fan art of Morrigan I did for first illustration of my new blog. She is the sexiest female character from Darkstalkers developed by Capcom. I wanted to create a different characteristic from original that more cold to conform to succubus! Large sized
I initially planned to make a world of Toribard a long time ago for my old blog but didn't have idea to start, which is a shame because the nearly 4 years for dragged…
At last, it was Ghibli Museum where greatly inspired me in lots idea to create the world when I was in Japan a couple months ago! I'm deeply impressed by the conscious sense of mystery is the core of Miyazaki's art.
Toribard made his debut way back in 2005 on my MSN display picture. Here's a look at the character over the years!
He was redesigned several times to become more simple and cute. Further subtle changes to the character's design have been made in my blogs and portraits.
Toribard is fictional blue bird with own cap. The name "TORI" is Japanese romaji, as it originally meant "Bird" and along with "Bird" being a sound of English pronunciation similar like "Bard".
His blue pigmentation was chosen to represents both the sky and sea, also is associated with freedom, and his cap was concept from duckbill cap to covering his face!

No burn day for Maricopa County Monday
PHOENIX -- Air quality regulators are banning wood burning in Maricopa County on Monday because of high levels of pollutants already in the air.
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality issued a high pollution health watch alert because levels of small particles in the air are expected to be at unhealthful levels for the fourth day in a row.
Open burning and use of wood burning fireplaces are generally prohibited. People with respiratory problems are advised to avoid heavy or prolonged outdoor exertion.
Maricopa County air quality officials say they know the mandatory restrictions may put a crimp in Christmas Eve celebrations. But director Bill Wiley says fires also fill neighborhoods with smoke and make breathing hard for some people.

Employment, Population and Regional Development in Western and Central Europe. Econometric Models and Challenges of EU Enlargement
AbstractWe analyse the relationships between employment, population and regional development in Europe with a cross section sample, for year 2000, of 151 regions belonging to the 25 countries of EU after Enlargement of year 2004. Regional disparities in EU are higher than in the US, while the rate of employment, wages and income per inhabitant are lower in Europe. We analyse the main factors which explain those differences and estimate an econometric model for Western and Central European regions which shows the positive effect of real value added on employment and population. Finally we suggest to foster economic policies focused to increase the rates of employment and income per inhabitant in EU countries and regions.

Governor Signs Ten of Twelve Pro-LGBT Equality Bills Sponsored by EQCA in 2011 Legislative Session
Sacramento – Ten of twelve bills sponsored by Equality California and passed by the California legislature this year are now the law of the land. Three of these bills had been signed into law earlier this year, the remaining seven received the Governor's signature over the past weekend. One of the two bills vetoed by the Governor, Senate Bill 747 (Kehoe), which would have required professionals to complete continuing education on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender cultural competency in health care was vetoed by the Governor, who said he believed "licensing boards are better suited that the Legislature or the Governor to decide these matters."
"This has been a watershed year in the California legislature for advancing the rights and protections of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians," said Senator Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego), speaking as Chair of the California Legislative LGBT Caucus. "Because of the leadership of so many lawmakers and the hard work of organizations like Equality California, we have closed inequality gaps, made schools safer for LGBT students, ensured that LGBT people are counted and better represented in government and government services and made our state safer and more inclusive for transgender individuals. These changes in the law positively impact the lives of millions of Californians and go a long way toward making California a more fair and equal state."

U.D. explores total on-campus smoking ban while opposite psychology is on display elsewhere
You might have picked up the story earlier this week that the University of Delaware is exploring the possibility of banning all use of tobacco products on campus.
Even outdoor smoking areas would be eliminated.
And the catalyst for this proposed campus-wide ban is a group of undergraduate students. The U.D. administration says it's willing to consider such a ban, but it would be rather unusual for the student body to spearhead such an initiative.
Wow, how things have changed over four decades! In the late 1960's and 1970's, some U.S. high schools actually created smoking areas for students. The goal was to get smoking out of the restrooms so non-smokers could use smokefree restrooms. You didn't hear about "second-hand smoke" very much in those days, but it was disquieting to have to wander through smoke to find a urinal or toilet.
(At the time, I conducted an investigation for my high school newspaper: Did the creation of a student smoking area actually eliminate smoking in the restrooms? Methodology: I visited several high schools, with and without smoking areas, counting cigarette butts in the restrooms and/or other evidence of smoking. I enlisted the assistance of women to similarly analyze the girls' restrooms. Yes, the correlation was obvious. Creation of a student smoking area made the restrooms virtually tobacco free. But in those days, one could often sense smoke wafting from the faculty lounges!)
But the tobacco issue also perfectly illustrates how the terms "conservative" and "liberal" can flip over time. In those days, "conservative" school administrations resisted the pressure to create smoking areas, lest they be seen as legitimizing student smoking. The "liberal" administrations were the ones experimenting with smoking zones. Now, opposition to tobacco smoking bans usually comes from the right, while those seeking expansion of tobacco smoking bans tend to lean left. Marijuana runs in the opposite direction on the right--left continuum.
But tobacco use may perfectly illustrate a class divide in this country. Even as U.D. students and administrators may be moving to banish tobacco, one sees young adults - who one could loosely describe as "blue collar" from appearance - picking up smokes at convenience stores with abandon.
When visiting a Wawa a couple of days ago - after observing several customers purchasing their cigarettes - and taking advantage of no one waiting behind me - I asked the young female clerk if she was surprised so many customers pick up cigarettes. She confessed she was a smoker herself. Furthermore, most of her friends were smokers. She didn't consider it odd at all. (I recall her earlier saying that she had earned her G.E.D.)
Two different worlds. The rarefied university campus enviornment vs. this much different environment. At a state level (as evidenced by the recent Gallup well-being rankings of the states), Delaware vs. Vermont.

Class divide or hypocrisy?
Smoking tobacco on campus (or anywhere) = bad
Smoking pot on campus = cool/hip/rad/presidential
Drunk homeless guy on campus (or anywhere) = bad
Drunken college kids on campus = part of college experience and perfectly fine

EarlGrey: Well said.
One thing I've noticed is that it appears, purely anecdotal, that more young women smoke than young men. Also, women seem to be more into drinking, happy hours, partying, etc., than previous generations. Many adult women today are career folks, no marriage, no children, have even become CEO's, etc, so some women have broken through the glass ceiling, granted not all or even most, but definitely some. It appears that, in many ways, many women have become "men" in their lifestyles, or picking up many of the bad habits that were usually found in men rather than women.
It will be interesting to see if the death spread gap [women generally live longer than men - go visit a nursing home if you don't believe me] will close, and women will start living shorter lives as a result of the added stress to their bodies of being career people, smoking, drinking heavily, multiple sex partners, etc., etc.

It is very ironic, that the U.D. is considering banning smoking while putting in a 258-Megawatt smokestack with the toxic equivalence to inhaling 26 million cigarettes each day.
The data center is far more deadly than one or two cigarettes.

Jennifer McIlvaine saves on cleanup by using a whole clove of garlic stuck on the end of a fork to brush olive oil on the un-toasted bread. The uncut garlic doesn't impart much flavor, but it does keep her from having to use a messy brush.
This recipe goes with Braised Pepper Bruschetta, Mixed Herb Bruschetta, Eggplant with Mint Bruschetta, Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, Chickpea and Octopus Bruschetta
Sunset AUGUST 2006
1. Heat charcoal or gas grill to hot (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above grill only 2 to 3 seconds), or set a rack 4 inches from a broiler on high. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil. Toast, turning as necessary, until both sides are crisp and browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Remove bread from the grill or oven and rub each slice with the cut side of a halved garlic clove. Sprinkle with sea salt. Eat plain or add topping.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per bruschetta.
Choose a good-quality bread without too many large holes that would let the topping drip through. McIlvaine uses sliced hominy bread, but we found that a bâtard or pane pugliese also worked well.

The reasoning behind allowing pubs and restaurants in neighborhood commercial areas is that they bring a vibrancy, said City Councilman Kyle LaMalfa.
"It's about activating our business nodes and making restaurants a viable part of our business community," he said.
The impact to neighborhoods won't be dramatic, LaMalfa said.
"My sense of the objections is that it's from people who don't like alcohol at all."
No date has been set for a vote on the proposal.

The Velociraptor was a small, carnivorous dinosaur, well known to the public since the first Jurassic Park movie. Although it was oversized in the movie and its teamwork abilities are in dispute, using the dinosaur's name, which in Latin means "swift thief", appears to be a really smart move for hard drive manufacturer Western Digital. The company has produced a family of excellent enthusiast hard drives for years - the Raptor - and the next generation strives for providing more capacity and better performance with radically changed physical dimensions.
While everybody expected a higher capacity and higher performance version of the Raptor (which is true), Western Digital went back to the drawing table and analyzed all characteristics for a high-end hard drive. The target was to create an enthusiast hard drive that had the reliability and performance to also satisfy the workstation and low-end server market, and to make sure it can compete with Flash-based drives at least for the time being. Professional server storage applications are currently moving from the 3.5" to the 2.5" form factor, while desktop hard drives will stay at 3.5" for the predictable future. However, Western Digital found a nice way to combine the best of both worlds.
The clear cover of the second generation WD Raptor-X is gone. But the step from the Raptor-X to the VelociRaptor involved a change of the physical form factor, as the new VelociRaptor now is a 2.5" hard drive. While this doesn't enable new transfer rate records or truly high capacities, 2.5" drives typically offer much improved access time with still excellent transfer rates. At the same time, thermal power loss and high drive temperatures are less of an issue with decreasing physical dimensions. The new VelociRaptor, aka WD3000GLFS, offers a maximum capacity of 300 GB and still utilizes the SATA interface, because SAS - despite its flexible feature set - would introduce clearly higher cost at little benefit for the end user. The interface now supports SATA at 3 Gb/s link speed (300 MB/s), while the prior Raptors were limited to 150 MB/s (which has never been an issue, by the way).

0royalcrown , April 21, 2008 1:04 PMwestern digital 640 aaks series b3 revision:
Seagate 7200.11 (if they can work out their doa prob):
A few of samsung's F1 spinpoints...
they are all pretty close, especially seagate at 114mb STR, 60 low and around 100 average across 320 gigs.
A 150 gig drive that is just a bit higher is not so awesome, and yes I know seek times, IO and all that matter too. Do you really thonk the new raptor is gonna be 90 bucks like these, I sure don't.
If they at least have a 320 same performance, or the performance was closer to 150 (as in a larger 3.5 platter), then sure, but it's sad considering a 7200 is almost passing them ALREADY.
-1royalcrown , April 21, 2008 1:11 PMMy bad, 300 gb does make it look beter ! but still those other drives are way to close considering this is the raptor series.
0Zorg , April 21, 2008 1:13 PMWell you answered it yourself i.e., seek and IO. You can't take read / write as the total picture. The drives you posted aren't really that close in read / write either. I'm sure you know the last bit of performance costs the most money.
You could say you don't think it's worth the cash, I have no problem with that, but it sounds a lot like sour grapes to me.
0Andrius , April 21, 2008 1:27 PMSeriously. Just what about this drive isn't impressive?
It has twice the storage space of the previous top model.
It has better benchmark results.
It runs cooler way cooler.
That IcePack is perfect for mounting behind front intake fans(improved airflow).
I'd want 1 over any 1TB drive. The price is also quite reasonable for a Raptor.
I'd call that progress in every way.
There's just no pleasing some people.
0rodney_ws , April 21, 2008 1:29 PMHonestly, who was expecting the next Raptor to be a 2.5 inch drive? I know it's in a 3.5 inch enclosure, but you just know the guys at Alienware are trying to figure out how one of these is going to work in a laptop.
0nihility , April 21, 2008 1:33 PMAbout time they updated the raptors, they've been doing pretty poorly for quite a while. It's cool to see over 120MB/s read/write on a desktop drive.
I wonder why I/O performance isn't as good as the SAS drives even though it has faster read/write speeds and latency. Could this be fixed with firmware?
0deuce271 , April 21, 2008 1:40 PMThey look like a really nice answer to SSDs. I'm really considering getting one but $300 for a hard drive is a lot of money.
Hell, it'd be the most expensive component in my rig...
0Zorg , April 21, 2008 1:52 PMNotebook HDs only need 5V and the velociRaptor needs both 12V and 5V. I'm not saying it can't be done.Quote:Honestly, who was expecting the next Raptor to be a 2.5 inch drive?

-1royalcrown , April 21, 2008 1:57 PMIt's not sour grapes...it's spoon feeding us tiny bumps and calling it amazing that gets me...it's better, but amazing or wow or making a big deal about an incremental increase is just hyping it up, when it's not that big of a step up.
0Shinigami84 , April 21, 2008 2:30 PMLets see how it looks to me:
- I get 30%+ of performance increase compared to my 1TB drive (yah, 10EACS)
- I get 300gb for $300, I already have 1000gb for $300
- I can get 640gb instead of 300gb with little speed decrease but it will cost $130.
So 30%+ speed increase equals almost 5x price increase? My wallet thinks otherwise... But thats my wallet, if your wallet says otherwise, I think you'll be happy with the new HDD from WD
0Zorg , April 21, 2008 2:50 PM^My wallet says I have to live with my Raptor, you know bills and stuff.
0Zorg , April 21, 2008 2:54 PMHard drives have to live within the laws of physics and current technology. Maybe you know of some way to get a 200% improvement. By all means share it with us.Quote:It's not sour grapes...it's spoon feeding us tiny bumps and calling it amazing that gets me...it's better, but amazing or wow or making a big deal about an incremental increase is just hyping it up, when it's not that big of a step up.
0sailer , April 21, 2008 2:57 PMThis drive looks good to me. If I hadn't just built a new computer, I'd like one of these in it. One might end up in the new computer anyway. Don't know, will see.
Hey wait, that government rebate check could pay for one of these and not hurt the wallet at all.
-2royalcrown , April 21, 2008 2:59 PMlook up a hard drive from back in the day called a Chinook. How about some real innovation...I'll gladly pay out the nose for some.
2 actuators is better than one and not at all infeasible today.

stainless vs stone lined on long island(Mr O' Brien)Hi,
I really like using Burnham Alliance indirect and have had zero problems with it.I am about to change my system over.I was told on long island the water is pretty hard on stainless indirects like a superstore.Any truth to this.Thanks in advance.I am putting in a IBC boiler and was looking for your thoughts on a indirect......

It's true for L.I.We've been replacing quite a lot of stainless indirects still under warantee or just outside of warantee . My own tank in tank stainless started to leak after 5 years .
Glass lined indirects and aquaboosters have been lasting just as long or longer than their stainless counterparts around here . Been using the Burnham SL for 5 to 7 years , haven't had to remove a leaker yet . But man are they heavy !

One of the ....reasons that Glass lined WH lasts longer is the Anode rod. HTP does not put them in their SuperStors. Weil-mclain is starting to put them in their Aqua-plus SS water htrs. A big plus in my opinion.

Just curious.........How would a Viessmann indirect stand up to these hard water conditions.Yes, they are stainless steel, less the anode rod, but those Germans, you know: they figure these things out.Often wrong, never in doubt.

Burnham Alliance Stone LinedNo anode, not required. Water conditions will not affect these tanks, also replaceable coils if needed down the road.
I have installed many with absolutely no problems.

The stone lined....water heaters are not w/o issues. Vaughn/Cepco who makes that unit(Top Performer) has had 3 versions of the Top Coil set up out there. Lots of leakers here in NH. They may have figured it out

Where do they leak ?The tank itself or the coil ? Or the gasket ? They really beefed up the gasket for Burnham SL . Recovery is slower than other coil style indirects , but I'll take longer recovery over less longevity any day !
kcopp September 10, 2013 @ 10:13 PM

gasket ...on the coil. They used to ship it w/ the coil separate. Then changed the design so you couldn't over tighten. Then shipped it complete. I had to swap out a number of coils for the new design....Just changed out a leaking tank in January. It had 11 years on it.

Barbara Sukowa On the Legacy of Fellow Empire State German, Hannah Arendt
Bremen-born, award-winning actress Barbara Sukowa opens up about her new role playing the acclaimed German-American political theorist and title character in Margarethe von Trotta's Hannah Arendt. The film centers on the Jewish philosopher's response to the 1961 trial of former SS officer Adolf Eichmann in Israel, which she wrote for The New Yorker and had published as Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil in 1963. These powerful images of the Fassbinder-muse and wife of artist Robert Longo—the couple live together in Brooklyn's desirable Ditmas Park—were captured by French photographer Brigitte Lacombe, who is known for her portraits on movie sets, in her personal New York studio. Novelist Rebecca Godfrey, whose second novel The Dilettante is forthcoming from Knopf, stopped by the shoot to chat with the German actress and explore Arendt's cultural significance.
Rebecca Godfrey: What interested you about Hannah Arendt?
Barbara Sukowa: I was really interested in challenging this preconception that intellectual women are cold and unemotional. People reproached Arendt for being unemotional, but when writing Eichmann in Jerusalem, she felt that there were no emotions were adequate to the horror of what the Nazis had done. For her, any display of emotion would have seemed fake, or not appropriate. But in her life, she was emotional. Mary McCarthy said, "She had a genius for friendship." She was a very loyal friend, and I think she expected loyalty from her friends, and was incredibly disappointed when they didn't stand by her.
RG: Your physical transformation into Arendt is quite stunning.
BS: I studied her gestures, the movement of her mouth; she had a very pronounced way of talking. We even tried some prosthetics with cheeks and the nose and eyebrows. But Margarethe [von Trotta] decided, "This film is not about what she looks like. This is about what she has to say." And that kind of impersonation can be irritating and distracting. So in the end, I just put on a dark wig and dark contact lenses.
RG: In Hollywood films, an intelligent woman often must be stern, even dour, but you allow this iconic intellectual to also be witty, charismatic, and incredibly attractive to her students and colleagues.
BS: There's this idea in movies that if people attract other people, they have to be pretty. That's really not the case. Hannah Arendt attracted a lot of men and passion because she was a passionate person. Thinking was really a passion for her. It was not something cold. It was something that she loved to do. She believed in it so much. She thought: this is a thing of the highest order.
RG: There seems to be a real hunger for more complicated, flawed female characters on screen, which we're seeing on shows like Homeland and Girls.
BS: It's about time. It's so weird how, on screen, women are so often smoothed out. I think there's a difficulty accepting that people are contradictory. The Nazis who killed women and children in the day went home and wrote love letters to their wives, or played with their children. People are really complicated and we just have this desire to pretend that isn't the case.
RG: The film uses actual footage of Eichmann at his trial. Had you seen this before?
BS: I purposely didn't watch the footage of him before we shot the scene. I wanted to have the same experience she had seeing him for the first time. She thought he was such a mediocre guy, a bureaucrat. My reaction was different. When I saw him, I felt there was something destroyed and neurotic about him.
RG: Why do you think she was so surprised by the controversy the New Yorker article on Eichmann incited?
BS: She hoped a fierce intellectual debate would happen, but it didn't. To people who endured this incredible traumatic experience of the Holocaust, whose families were murdered, whose parents were murdered, the word 'banality' is not something that flies with them, you know? She believed that if people were a victim of a terrible horror, they'd rather be a victim of someone demonic or satanic than to say to themselves, in fact, I'm a victim of that little guy, that little asshole. She thought it was important to put that out there but she did not foresee how hurtful that was, that it was just like putting a hand in the wound.
RG: In the film, we see how loyal, and in love, her husband is, which is also something we don't often see in film—a happy marriage.
BS: She came from a bourgeois, very educated, Jewish background. Her husband, Heinrich Blucher, was a self-taught man; he was a Communist. He never published, but he was still very inspiring to her. She was devastated when he died. People say Heidegger was the big love of her life, but I think that was just youth. Her husband was her real love.
RG: What brought you to live in New York?
BS: I came through my husband Robert Longo, in 1992. So I came voluntarily, whereas Arendt was an exile. It's funny because there are observations she made about New York in the 1940s that are still valid today. She said Americans have no musse, which means leisure or spare time. Americans can't sit still. She meant New Yorkers, of course. People here go to a restaurant. Finish the meal. The waiter brings the bill and you leave. In Germany, you finish eating and then you drink another glass of wine, then you talk. She was missing this and I miss it too.
RG: Do you think it's possible today for a public intellectual to have the same impact as Arendt did in her time?
BS: Today, the work has to be provocative. It has to deal with sex. That's when people wake up—when it hits a shame nerve. There's also this constant drumming up of emotions and it must be deadening. You see it with the Boston bombing TV coverage. How do you feel? What did you feel when you saw the blood? Please, please give me emotion. What can still hit you if you're so overloaded? I'm always shocked, on MSNBC or Fox, when these pundits talk over each other. They are just thinking of their own thoughts and who gets the most camera time. It's disgusting. They are like five-year olds. For Arendt, listening was important. She was able to say: "Let's talk. Let's disagree. And then let's go out for dinner."
The French Capital is the Stage as Bloggeuse Jeanne Damas Tours the History of the Heritage Label
Delicate animated sketches channel Paris' Belle Époque and light up the night sky in this new film from director Mary Clerté, dedicated to the legacy of French trunk-makers and leather goods specialist Moynat. The updated art deco imagery is inspired by the original drawings of the atelier's one-time art director Henri Rapin, whose iconic red leather and brass-studded luggage put the brand on the map in the early part of the 20th century. The brand has been breaking ground since its inception in 1849, when founder Pauline Moynat—the only female trunk-maker in Paris—joined forces with the skilled craftsmen of the Coulembier family. Creating state-of-the-art designs using waterproofed canvas treated with tropical Gutta Percha sap, the entrepreneuse went on to win awards for her innovative 1873 British Trunk, and acclaim as the inventor of the women's handbag in 1880, created for the famed turn-of the century actress Gabrielle Rejane. Fast forwarding to contemporary France, filmmaker Clerté casts Paris-based model, muse and fashion blogger Jeanne Damas as the modern answer to the classic Moynat woman as she explores the arts and theatre landmarks in the City of Lights, researching the role of loyal brand devotee Réjane. "The story of the brand is really modern: Pauline Moynat was a business woman who came to Paris and established herself," muses the director, whose past work includes videos for the band Pony Pony Run Run and labels Hermès and Chloë. Set to the Montreal duo Valleys' single "Hounds," from their forthcoming album Are You Going To Stand There And Talk Weird All Night?, Clerté's latest short creates an intrepid character that is as timeless as she is uniquely Parisian. "I wanted to find a way to make her alive."
The Downtown Artist Takes Inspiration from Victorian Poetry for a Sultry New Series
White pigeons flutter above the nude silhouettes of model Arizona Muse and French actress Rebecca Dayan in these romantic new photographs from New York-based Max Snow. The monochrome images feature in a solo exhibition and a publication from the Parisian concept store Colette, both named The Lady of Shalott in honor of the 19th century poetic themes that subconsciously infuse them. "I unknowingly referenced a lot of images of artists' interpretations of the Lady of Shalott before I even came across Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem," explains Snow, who has previously shown at Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts in New York and Galerie Serieuze Zaken in Amsterdam. "The idea in creating these images was to make people connect to the past—to more mythological or spiritual times." The artist comes from a storied background, as the brother of the greatly missed art world darling Dash Snow and a member of the famed de Menil clan. He recalls meeting Vogue favorite Muse after she purchased one of his pieces at auction and came back wanting more: "I said, 'How about you pose for one and I'll give you one for free?'" Dayan, who recently appeared in Jesse & Celeste Forever and From Paris with Love and met Snow through a mutual friend, hadn't expected her aviary accessories. "I was naked in a tent with birds flying in every direction," she laughs of the shoot, for which Snow used eating pigeons rescued from a Manhattan slaughterhouse. "We freed them at the end," she says. "It was such a beautiful moment!"
The Lady of Shalott is on view at Colette, Paris, until February 2.

If its not exercising, I at least try to take a walk with my gf and my dog or just take some time to let my brain soak in all the information. There is no point in learning something if you cant remember it. Also make sure you get plenty of sleep, long term memorization requires sleep, consolidation they call it in neurology. So definitely find a good balance, exercise and rest and you will do much better and be much happier overall. First semester I studied non stop no exercise no nothing. I was miserably and felt overwhelmed. So take some time for yourself!

2013 Mazda CX-5 second drive
Clever technology helps Mazda's baby crossover shine on the road and on the track
Monterey, Calif. — The now-dead Tribute sport ute — along with the B-Series pickup — stuck out like a sore thumb in Mazda's brochures. Both Ford-forced — ahem, sourced - vehicles were near clones of their Blue Oval brothers, and nowhere near as sleek as the 3, 6, RX-8 and CX-7 during the brand's mid-'00s heyday. Now that Mazda's divorce with Ford is final, customers won't be left singing Sesame Street's "One of those things is not like the other; one of these things just doesn't belong ..."
For the Tribute's replacement, Mazda has gone beyond just rebodying its revised 3 hatchback and calling it a day. No, the CX-5 is the first offering in Mazda's latest plans to take over the world.
Designed from the start to tackle corners
Although generally believed to apply to only the high-compression engine shared with the 3, SkyActiv relates to more than just the engine. Mazda completely redesigned its platforms to be stronger and safer and its bodies to be 100 kg lighter from one generation to the next, while changes to the suspension and drivetrain ensured that the compact crossover handles like a Mazda should, without compromising the cabin and cargo space people need.
One key aspect Mazda officials talked about was that the CX-5 has more than twice as much front caster as its other front-wheel-drive compacts and crossovers. This is one of the most important features in delivering more responsive steering and it even has a half-degree more than its retired rear-drive RX-8 sports car. So, we know it should steer and handle well.

What is SkyActiv and how will it change Mazda's future?
First drive: 2012 Mazda3 w/SkyActiv
Gas for now, but diesel on the way
We've already seen the high-compression SkyActiv-G (for gasoline) engine in the 2012 Mazda3, but it isn't the full monty version debuting in the CX-5. Compression of 13:1 in the CX-5 is achieved thanks to a complicated and relatively bulky exhaust header that wouldn't fit under the Mazda3 without serious modifications to the firewall and structure, thus leaving the sedan with only 12:1. The extra compression brings a few more horses but much more mid-range torque.
The CX-5 produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb.-ft. of torque with the direct-injection 2.0-litre four-cylinder, about average but nothing thrilling here. That'll have to wait for the 2.2-litre turbodiesel that's officially in the pipe. Outright power won't be too much higher, but there will quite possibly be more than twice the torque.
So think of the CX-5 as the Miata of compact crossovers: i.e. a momentum machine.

STOCKTON The 285-pound final was guaranteed to be a Sacramento-area affair when the semifinal brackets filled with area wrestlers.
But once Elk Grove's Jaharee Taylor beat Jeff Camilli of Ponderosa in overtime by a 2-1 decision Saturday, the heavyweight final then became an all-Elk Grove-area affair at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters wrestling tournament at Stockton Arena, where eight Sacramento-region wrestlers won titles.
On the next mat, Sheldon's Sam Alnassiri and Tyler Hecht of Franklin were tied 2-2 in overtime, but Alnassiri advanced with a 7-4 decision.
Taylor and Alnassiri, both seniors, advanced to the final with a shared history.
The two have wrestled each other since they were seventh-graders.
"Me and Sam always had a little rivalry," Taylor said. "This (was) good because last year we were battling for who could go. This time we were fighting for who takes first. This is really good."
Taylor defeated Alnassiri for seventh place at last season's Masters, leaving the Sheldon junior one place shy of a state tournament berth. While rivals, they're buddies, too.
"He is a friend and a good rival," Taylor said.
In the final, Taylor scored a 2-1 win over Alnassiri with a takedown in the third period.
Once the final buzzer sounded, Taylor looked over to Elk Grove coach Jeff Coffing and said, "Get the ink ready."
Taylor wasn't talking about a new tattoo, but rather getting his name on a plaque in the Elk Grove gym that has a long list of Thundering Herd wrestling champions. That list includes Coffing and his brother Adam.
Saturday's win was also a surprise and a boost of confidence for Taylor, who finished ahead of the three wrestlers he placed behind at last week's Division IA section meet.
"Last week, I had a lot on my mind," Taylor said. "I took the week to focus. (The Masters title) means a lot to me."
Tucker's three-peat Shayne Tucker, the No. 1-ranked 152-pounder in the state, continued his impressive senior season. He won his third consecutive Masters title with a 16-1 technical fall against Zack Velasquez of Argonaut.
Tucker, a four-time Capital Valley Conference champion, seeks his first state championship after finishing fourth in 2011 (at 130 pounds) and second in 2012 (138).
"I feel good to be in rare company like that," Tucker said of his third section title.
Two-timing Jonny Callas of Nevada Union (138), Peter Santos of Oakmont (170) and Jordan Sepeda of Natomas (220) all won their second Masters titles.
Callas won the 126-pound title last season. Santos repeated as the 170-pound champion.
Sepeda's first title came as a 189-pound sophomore in 2011. He was third at 182 last season.
"It feels great now that I have secured my section championship and checked one of the things off my list again," Sepeda said.
Santos, ranked No. 2 in the state, won the 170-pound championship with a 10-0 major decision over No. 3-ranked Keaton Subjeck of Oak Ridge.
Santos, who committed to North Carolina State earlier this month, was excited to win again but realizes the bigger prize is next week at the state tournament in Bakersfield, and he is not discounting Subjeck.
"He is a great kid and a great wrestler and always seems to peak at the state tournament," Santos said.
Subjeck, a senior, is a three-time Masters runner-up. The Stanford commit finished second at 145 as a sophomore and at 160 last season.
"Next week is what it's all about," Subjeck said.
106: Gionn Peralta, Vacaville, def. Isaac Blackburn, Del Oro (fall).
126: Victor Trujillo, Bella Vista, def. Rafael Herrera, Turlock (fall).
138: Jonny Callas, Nevada Union, def. McCoy Kent, Enochs-Modesto, 4-3.
145: Hayden Fry, Vacaville, def. Lorenzo De La Riva, Folsom, 2-1.
152: Shayne Tucker, Bella Vista, def. Zack Velasquez, Argonaut, 16-1 (technical fall).
162: Nick Fiegener, Folsom, def. Ray Lomas, Central Catholic-Modesto, 3-1 (OT).
170: Peter Santos, Oakmont, def. Keaton Subjeck, Oak Ridge, 10-0 (major decision).
182: Nick Troquato, Ponderosa, def. Joey Banks, Franklin, 7-3.
220: Jordan Sepeda, Natomas, def. Josh Winters, Will C. Wood, 4-2.
285: Jaharee Taylor, Elk Grove, def. Sam Alnassiri, Sheldon, 2-1.

Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Hill, R-Reidsville, warned Monday that the state's budget hole for next fiscal year is closer to $2 billion than to the $1 billion that's been discussed.
Hill was in Athens with other lawmakers for a pre-legislative session conference and spoke to WABE's Denis O'Hayer, the local host of "All Things Considered." You can hear the entire interview on WABE's website.
In the the interview, Hill acknowledged that the state's budget hole for fiscal 2012, which begins July 1, is at about $2 billion and drops to $1.3 billion once you consider the loss of one-time funding or federal cash as well an expected round of cuts to state agencies.
Despite the positive news that state revenues are growing, Hill said it's not enough.
"The growth rate that the economists tell us we can expect is not high enough to make up for the tremendous hole we have," Hill told O'Hayer.
O'Hayer asked the next logical question: Where does the money come from? Could it be

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - John Wall torched New York for 31 points and seven assists as the Washington Wizards topped the Knicks, 98-89, from Verizon Center.
Washington trailed 52-49 at intermission, but the Knicks' starting unit managed just seven points in the third period as the Wizards gained momentum and eventually pulled away.
Marcin Gortat had his way down low, tallying 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting with 17 rebounds for Washington, which won for the third time in four tries after dropping four in a row.
"We can't get excited about winning," Gortat said. "We have to bring energy ever game, have to be focused, have to be humbled and have to work together."
Martell Webster and Bradley Beal added 19 and 18 points, respectively.
Carmelo Anthony paced New York with 23 points and 12 boards. J.R. Smith chipped in 15 points off the bench as the Knicks fell to 2-6 since losing Tyson Chandler to a right knee injury in a Nov. 5 tilt against Charlotte.
The Wizards opened the decisive third quarter on a 13-4 burst, which Beal capped with a mid-range jumper at the 8:10 mark. Washington led 62-56 at that point and maintained at least a three-point edge the rest of the way.
A pair of Wall free throws midway through the frame put the hosts in front by nine, and they took a 76-69 advantage into the final period.
Webster knocked down a pair of treys on consecutive Washington possessions midway through the fourth after Anthony cut New York's deficit to three with his jumper at 8:11.
Wall, who had 37 points in a loss at Toronto Friday, put the game away with free throws late.
"He's playing well," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said of Wall. "I like everything about him. He had an awesome night last night and came back tonight and duplicated it."
Earlier, Amare Stoudemire provided a boost for the depleted Knicks' frontcourt when he connected on all five of his first-half shots, including the first two buckets of the second quarter and an emphatic transition dunk midway through the period.
Stoudemire scored 12 points, while Andrea Bargnani had 11 and a season-high
five assists ... New York's bench outscored Washington's reserves, 43-6 ...
Every Washington starter recorded at least 34 minutes ... Washington hosts the
Lakers on Tuesday before going on the road for a pair of games. The Knicks
travel to Portland on Monday.

The Prisoner of Zenda is an adventure novel by Anthony Hope, published in 1894. The king of the fictional country of Ruritania is abducted on the eve of his coronation, and the hero, an English gentleman on holiday who fortuitously resembles the monarch, is persuaded to act as his political decoy in an attempt to save the situation.A modern reader might sympathize with Black Michael (the King's brother, kidnapper, and attempted usurper of the throne) because the King is introduced as a somewhat irresponsible and flippant individual, and because some quarters of the population prefer Michael to Rudolf. In the book itself, however, Michael is portrayed as cowardly and treacherous, while his supporters among the people are mostly dismissed as being of a "largely criminal" class and King Rudolf is stated to be preferred by other parts of the populace.The book is responsible for many tropes on this site that are listed below. Likewise, it has been remade into several films, books and episodes of series since.Not to be confused with The Legend of Zelda.

Matching wine and food: perfect partners
Want to know what to drink with prawns, pasta or peaches? Our guide to matching food and wine is a great way to learn.
These suggestions are, by necessity, quite general, as a wine's taste also depends on its provenance, the country's climate and the viticultural methods used. But it is true that a robust Merlot will usually go well with hearty roast beef, or that the acidity of Sauvignon Blanc makes it a good match for tomato-based pasta sauces, or lemony dressings.
A good rule of thumb is to match sweet wine with sweet food, acidic wine with acidic or salty food, spicy wine with spicy food, red wine with red meat and white wine with white, although this traditional rule can often be relaxed: a fruity Beaujolais, well chilled, is a great match for some chicken dishes, for example. And some people say that you should, in general, choose a wine from the same country as the food, which is why Muscadet and moules marinières are a match made in heaven!
A mature red from Bordeaux will go down a treat with roast beef. Try wines from lesser-known parts of the region, such as Côtes de Blaye, Côtes de Bourg and Côtes de Castillon. Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blends also work exceptionally well and Pinot Noir is a safe bet. Also try New World Malbecs, Barbera from Italy or Argentina and Italian Zinfandel.
White meat
White wine with white meat is the traditional rule, which is why an unoaked Chardonnay from Australia, Chablis, Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc are all good options, but you could ring the changes with a red Grenache, California Zinfandel or light, medium-bodied Beaujolais (incidentally, Beaujolais is delicious chilled!). If you choose Sauvignon Blanc, remember that this is a love-or-hate grape variety; if you have guests, it might be wise to have another option open to them!
A big, jammy Argentinian red, such as a Malbec/Syrah (also known as Shiraz) blend is good with lamb, as is a medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir. Other good matches include Rioja or Zinfandel from Chile, Italy and the USA, as well as ripe but not too grassy Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlots from Australia, Bulgaria, Hungary, New Zealand, Soufh Africa and the USA.
Barbecued food
The strong, gutsy flavours of most barbecue food need wines that will stand up to them, not wilt in the sun! Generally speaking, you can't beat a big-flavoured Aussie Shiraz or a full-bodied California Zinfandel. Chilled rosé or fruity Beaujolais also slip down well, particularly with char-grilled salmon or tuna. Other barbecue all-rounders include Merlot (or Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend), Spanish Rioja and Côtes du Rhone.
Oriental food
Can be tricky this one, as you don't want the wine to overpower the delicate spiciness of the food. German or Australian Riesling and Chenin Blanc are both safe bets, as are roses and light, sparkling wines. Gewürztraminer has enough spice to work well, although it can be a little too strong for some dishes.
Spicy food (Indian, etc)
Again, this can be difficult, as you want a wine that is assertive enough to complement the strong flavours of the food. Gewürztraminer, Riesling, white Grenache, crisp aromatic Sauvignon Blanc or a Semillon-Chardonnay from New Zealand would all work well. If you prefer red, go for a Shiraz or soft, ripe Merlot – a better bet than Cabernet-Sauvignon, which is more tannic. And, as with Oriental food, rosé is often ideal, as it won't overpower the food too much, but offers a refreshing counterpoint to it.
The rule of thumb with pasta is to match the wine to the sauce. So, a tomato-based sauce will go well with acidic Sauvignon Blanc, while the robust, meaty flavours of a lasagne or bolognese are best suited to a full-bodied Merlot. Cream- or butter-based sauces need something to offset the richness, so try either a Chardonnay or Semillon (or a blend of the two!).
Oily fish
Wines that perform well with mackerel, tuna and sardines tend to be citrussy, crisp and fresh. Go for an ultra-dry white if you can. Choices include Italian Chardonnay, gooseberry-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc form New Zealand or an inexpensive white Burgundy. The grassy, fresh flavours of Verdelho also make a good match.
White fish
Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre are popular choices here, but the rule of thumb is usually to match the wine to the sauce, if the fish has one. Creamy or butter-based sauces are complemented by Chardonnay or Semillon (or a blend of both!). It's easy for wine to overpower the delicate flavour of white fish but if you are serving it plainly grilled, go for a grassy Verdelho, or gentle, medium-bodied white such as a dry, unoaked French Chardonnay.
Duck and game
Both duck and game tend to be quite rich and full of flavour, so they need wines that will be robust enough to cope. A full-bodied Chardonnay can work well, but in general reds are better: try Pinot Noir, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
Seafood and shellfish
Muscadet is the classic choice with moules marinières, platters of fruits de mer and other French-inspired dishes. For oysters and many types of shellfish, plump for a Chablis, Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé, Sauvignon Blanc or an Italian Soave. Red wine might not seem the obvious option, but a red Grenache can work surprisingly well with sweet seafood. Crabmeat, being richer, needs a light wine such as Riesling.
Smoked fish
Serving smoked salmon or trout? Go for a fine white French Burgundy, Riesling or California Chardonnay. You could also try a medium-bodied Australian Chardonnay or even some well-chilled manzanilla sherry! Rosé wines are also very good with smoked fish.
Vegetarian food and salads
Vegetables and salads are often quite acidic, especially if you make a vinegar-based dressing, so choose an acidic wine to complement them, such as Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling makes a good choice for many salads, as it is not so assertive that it will overpower the salad's flavours.
Hard, strong cheeses
A strong cheese like a mature Cheddar is perfectly suited to something fruity like a New Zealand Pinot Noir or a juicy Syrah (Shiraz). Also try Australian Cabernet Sauvignon or Chilean Zinfandel. Another, surprisingly good choice with hard, white cheeses is a sweet wine, such as Sauternes or Beerenauslese.
Soft cheeses
Sauvignon Blanc has enough acidity to cope well with goat's cheese, as does Sancerre. With other soft cheeses, you might also try a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or, if you prefer French wine, a Pouilly Fumé. The low tannins of Pinot Noir also make it a good choice.
Fruity desserts
A German Riesling that's medium-bodied, fruity and well-balance will work well with sweet puddings. Try a honeyed Sauternes with strawberries and cream, or indeed anything with a creamy base. With light, airy desserts, try a demi-sec Champagne. Fruit platters, on the other hand, will be quite acidic; with these, fresh, grassy Verdelho would be a good match.
You can't beat a sticky Muscat or a sweet Valpolicella with chocolate desserts. Another good choice is Asti Spumante.

Fauré emerges from the drawing room in this interesting collection of concertino works, many better known with piano accompaniments. Although Fauré was not in his element writing for orchestra, the Élégie really gains from his orchestration, from the initial heavy sustained string chords to the expressive wind solos in the central section. Henri Demarquette, a pupil of Gendron and Starker, plays this piece movingly with a beautifully seamless legato, but I found his Romance too restless and lacking in poise, an overdone rubato interrupting its flow. Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabedian, violinist with the Wanderer Trio, enters with poise in the cadenza-like passage near the opening of the early Violin Concerto, his delicate, lithe playing spinning a magical thread of sound. His tone is more strident and carrying in the Berceuse in spite of its con sordino marking. The works for piano and orchestra may be the best pieces here, but the recording quality throughout is good, the soloists always to the fore.

NATO Events
Mutual Security on Hold? Russia, the West, and European Security Architecture
June 16, 2014 // 10:00am — 11:30am
Global Europe Program
This year, the Munich Security Conference celebrated its 50th anniversary. These fifty years of substantive dialogue on security cooperation have existed against a changing political backdrop – from the tensions of the Cold War and the brutal conflict in the Western Balkans, to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the global "War on Terror." Mutual security and the transatlantic relationship are once again faced with challenges in the form of the crisis in Ukraine. What does this crisis mean for mutual security, and how will it affect the security architecture in Europe?
Contested Waters – Maritime Delimitation Issues in Southeastern Europe
May 14, 2014 // 2:00pm — 3:00pm
Global Europe Program
In the past two decades, Southeastern Europe has changed dramatically, leaving behind the legacy of the bloody dissolution of the former Yugoslavia and confrontations in the Aegean Sea. Five countries in the region are now members of the EU and seven are NATO members. While the Southeast European mainland is largely at peace, several issues remain and new problems have emerged in the adjacent waters of the Balkan Peninsula. From the Adriatic to the Black Sea, maritime delimitation disputes are engaging the political, diplomatic and legal communities of the countries concerned. The most recent events in Crimea may further complicate the maritime map of the Black Sea. Wilson Center Scholar Agron Alibali will discuss how the spectrum of discussions, negotiations, agreements and adjudications currently underway represents a fascinating new development for international law in general and for international law of the sea in particular in this historical part of the Mediterranean.
Into the Fold or Out in the Cold? NATO Expansion and European Security after the Cold War
May 02, 2014 // 10:00am — 12:00pm
Global Europe Program
Twenty years ago, the 1994 Brussels Summit marked the beginning of NATO's post-Cold War expansion. It was a process that resonated differently on opposite sides of the former "iron curtain" in the midst of complex and evolving relations between Russia and the West. This year will be no less pivotal for European security as the crisis in Ukraine brings renewed attention to Eastern Europe and the drawdown of NATO forces in Afghanistan continues. Amid these new and ongoing challenges, NATO will hold a summit in September to chart its future course. This panel of distinguished senior officials and experts will reflect on the steps that created Europe's current security architecture, as well as the advantages and constraints NATO will face in addressing the security challenges of the 21st century.
Round Table on the NATO-Russian Relationship
January 10, 2014 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
Kennan Institute
NATO's Strategic Concept affirms the desire to build a "true strategic partnership" between NATO and Russia. While NATO and Russia have managed to cooperate in a number of practical security areas, significant strains remain in the relationship over the European institutional security configuration, missile defense, regional conflicts, and so on.
Enlarging the European Union
September 18, 2013 // 3:00pm — 5:00pm
Global Europe Program
The first enlargement was one of the most divisive and politically charged events in the history of the present-day European Union. French opposition to British membership meant that London had to wait more than a decade at the Community's door. Other countries, including Denmark and Ireland, whose requests for membership were tied to the coat-tails of the British applications, had to endure a similar wait. Enlarging the European Union focuses on the early history of the EU and in particular the role played by the European Commission, an institution whose aim was to gain influence over the Community's agenda and to shape its policies, including the issue of enlargement.
