- The Air Tec core features lightweight wood and basalt fibers for consistent flex characteristics regardless of temperature
- Stone-ground base finish provides perfect gliding properties in every snow condition
- The OffTrack Crown underfoot utilizes a depth pattern for excellent grip and minimal reduction in speed in the glide phase
- Steel edge along the entire base of the ski provides edge grip and control in variable snow conditions and challenging descents
- Rental Tail Protectors allow these skis to stand up to repeated abuse
- Accepts flat-mount bindings, we recommend Fischer BCX Magnum binding

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Enjoying getting used to slightly longer skis than the 195 cm Madshuss Voss I was using. The edges were very dull on my old skis and the Fischers are performing admirably in our icy/hard/untracked conditions. I am 6'5" and 250 pounds and also find their flotation to be sufficient. With the rocky gullies they have traversed they seem pretty strong, too!

2 in China first known deaths from H7N9 bird flu
Monday - 4/1/2013, 7:12am EDT
BEIJING (AP) -- Two Shanghai men have died from a lesser-known type of bird flu in the first known human deaths from the strain, and Chinese authorities said it wasn't clear how they were infected but there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
A third person, a woman in the nearby province of Anhui, also contracted the H7N9 strain and was in critical condition, China's National Health and Family Planning Commission said in a report on its website Sunday.
There was no sign that any of the three, who were infected over the past two months, had contracted the disease from each other, and no sign of infection in the 88 people who had closest contact with them, the medical agency said.
H7N9 bird flu is considered a low pathogenic strain that cannot easily be contracted by humans. The overwhelming majority of human deaths from bird flu have been caused by the more virulent H5N1, which decimated poultry stocks across Asia in 2003.
The World Health Organization is "closely monitoring the situation" in China, regional agency spokesman Timothy O'Leary said in Manila.
"There is apparently no evidence of human-to-human transmission, and transmission of the virus appears to be inefficient, therefore the risk to public health would appear to be low," O'Leary said.
The 87-year-old victim became ill on Feb. 19 and died on Feb 27. The other man, 27, became ill on Feb. 27 and died on March 4, the Chinese health commission said. A 35-year-old woman in the Anhui city of Chuzhou became ill on March 9 and is being treated.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted tests and confirmed Saturday that all three cases were H7N9, the health commission said.
Scientists have been closely monitoring the H5N1 strain of the virus, fearing that it could mutate into a form that spreads easily among people, potentially sparking a pandemic. So far, most human cases have been connected to contact with infected birds.

Wine Spritzers: Time to Bring Them Back!
Let's just say it. "Wine spritzer" sounds impossibly retro, probably conjuring images of bell-bottom pants and Donna Summer on the radio, but hey — everything old is new again, right? And this low-alcohol refresher is due for a comeback.
This is a "school night drink" as one of my friends would call it, for those evenings when you are looking for a cocktail that is more refreshing than boozy. It's also the perfect outdoor party drink, much like the shandy, light enough to sustain a full day of sipping in the sun.
The simplest wine spritzer is a 50-50 mix of wine and sparkling water, but it doesn't have to be so straightforward. Bitters, citrus juice and liqueurs add depth to more complex preparations. And while white and rosé are the usual choices, red wine is used in the Spanish take on the wine spritzer, the tinto de verano, which uses lemon-lime soda in place of the sparkling water!
Whitney of the wine blog Brunellos Have More Fun recently laid out her simple guidelines for wine spritzers:
- Don't spend more than $15 on the wine,
- Make sure it is fresh, light and unoaked (white or rosé)
- Go with a 1:1 ratio, then it doesn't seem like the wine is too watery or the water too wine-y.

The other night we mixed Trader Joe's Vinho Verde (sparkling white wine) and mango lemonade, which was a yummy combination and sounds similar to the result here.
I've been drinking them for the last 3 years....Love them..for all the reasons you listed
In Europe, the "spritz" is considered the ultimate aperitif and is usually made with a good white wine or prosecco, Aperol, and a dash of mineral water/seltzer. There are many variations of the classic spritz and it's, in my view, a bit more sophisticated and tasty than a typical wine spritzer.
When I spend time in southern Spain, I basically only order Tinto de Verano. It's so refreshing and makes the hot summer not seem so bad!
Does anyone know of an American equivalent to the Fanta Limon that's generally used in Tinto de Verano? I've tried ginger ale, sprite, and Orange Fanta, but it's just not the same.
Fillie: maybe one of these: http://www.sanpellegrinobeverages.com/int/en/pack_flavours/default.aspx ?
When I was a kid in the 70s there was always red wine mixed with 7-UP or Fresca at parties- it was so delicious, the kids would always try and sneak a glass. I recently tried that combo again and it was not as tasty as I remember.
Wasn't this in the NYTimes recently? But at least your tips are better than their recipes.
Fillie- often in Spain now they just have bottled tinto de verano ready to go, and otherwise every restaurant does it differently. I actually prefer making it with soda water and sugar, because the sodas here are a bit too sweet. Wrote the recipe up here:
Drink them all summer long. Boxed red wine (bota), blue sky ginger ale, and a few sprigs of mint from the herb garden mulled in. We actually serve over ice.
Pelligrino (blood orange or limonata) and prosecco is also awesome. We don't serve that over ice, though.
Elderflower, fizzy water, lemons and sauvignon blanc (recipe below) make for a fantastic summer drink. Now if only summer would start here in the UK...

I had a free pattern pamphlet that I used for the flag, then took inspiration from Kathy Patterson's Fractured Flag quilt on Quilters Club of America.com to make the pole and background. I pieced and quilted it with my New Home Memorycraft 8000.

Samuele Briganti: Back To The Roots Teaser (VIDEO)
By Samuele Briganti: Back To The Roots is a non-fiction 20 minute short film about the life and works of Samuele Briganti. It was shot on April 2012 in Orbetello by Fabio Grande for F+A Studio Collective.
The documentary is about art and tattoos, the way I've started when I was only a kid, and how this passion became my job. A part of the movie is dedicated to hand-poked tattoos, and that's the reason for the title "Back To The Roots" because I started tattooing with a sewing pin, and after 16 years I felt the necessity to go back to this method. The documentary is set to release in December… (more…)

Last Bank Standing: What Do I Gain if You Fail?
AbstractBanks are highly leveraged institutions, potentially attracted to speculative lending even without deposit insurance. A counterbalancing incentive to lend prudently is the risk of loss of charter value, which depends on future rents. We show in a dynamic model that current concentration does not reduce speculative lending, and may in fact increase it. In contrast, a policy of temporary increases in market concentration after a bank failure, by promoting a takeover of failed banks by a solvent institution, is very effective. By making speculative lending decisions strategic substitutes, it grants bankers an incentive to remain solvent. Subsequent entry policy fine-tunes the trade-off between the social costs of reduced competition and the gain in stability.

Porsche Cayman review (2013 onwards)
It's impossible not to be very impressed with the brilliant new Porsche Cayman
Major move upmarket in style, interior quality and technology. And the Cayman remains a great drive too.
What - Porsche Cayman
Date - February 2013
Where - Faro, Portugal
Price - (£39,694 - £48,783) , Rs 33.2 lakhs to Rs 40.1 lakhs
Available - March 2013
Key rivals - Audi TT, BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK, Nissan 370Z
We like - Thoroughly enticing driving experience, classy and well designed interior, relatively practical day-to-day.
We don't like - New electric power steering doesn't have the feedback o the old Cayman, the PDK automatic version blurs the involvement.

Pasco County Sheriff's Office detectives say that more victims of the scam artist gang working the Auburndale area have come forward. Police are crediting media coverage and Facebook posts for assisting with their efforts in spreading the word about this case.
Tuesday, PCSO detectives met with ten additional victims and took their sworn statements that positively identified the suspects and provided evidence of the rock and dirt mixture that was used in the paving of their driveways.
Police say that all four suspects are still in the Polk County Jail. All suspects have received additional charges and are not eligible for bond until their first court appearance Tuesday. Authorities say each suspect now has approximately 70 total charges respectively.
Sheriff Grady Judd said, "I want to thank these latest victims for coming forward to help us continue our investigation into these scam artists' activities. If you have seen these men in your neighborhood, or if you have paid these men to pave your driveway or do any other type of home improvement work, please call us. We want to ensure they are charged accordingly for victimizing our citizens."

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - An area motorcycle group is speaking out after one of their members was killed by a suspected drunk driver.
Thursday morning 43 year old Manuel Martinez was charged with intoxication manslaughter after Rickey Parks was killed while riding his motorcycle Wednesday night.
39-year-old Rickey Parks was an active member of the Messengers, Clean and Sober, a motorcycle riding club here in Lubbock. His friends and fellow riders want their message to be heard now, more than ever.
Rickey Parks never knew Wednesday night's ride would be his last, but around 11:00 p.m., he was near 4th Street and Milwaukee Avenue when police say a pickup truck ran a red light and hit him.
Shoan Schuknecht heard about the accident and rushed to the scene. "They said it was Rick, I couldn't tell just by looking at his bike, it was all burnt," says Schuknecht.
The motorcycle caught fire and Parks was taken to UMC, where he later died.
"We don't know why, we don't understand it, but he was the type of man that all of us wanted to be," said Schuknecht.
The Messengers are a group of motorcycle riders, who spread a clean and sober message. Parks was a part of that group that just got back from a weekend trip.
"I immediately thought that we had just returned from this wonderful time in Ruidoso," said Terrence Harp.
His friends tell KCBD NewsChannel 11, that Rickey has been sober for three years now, and was someone who really turned his life around.
"Rickey changed his life, and anybody out there can change your life too, if you want to," said Harp.
And as a suspected drunk driver takes one life, these men hope to save another.
"I think it's our job to still get out there and carry the message, to still carry that this is a real life and death deal," said Schuknecht.
All the while remembering the good things about the man who was behind that message.
"We lost a heck of a person, I mean he's a good, good guy and he will be loved and missed always," said Greg Flick.
Parks leaves behind a wife, and five children. A fund has been set up to help the Park family with funeral arrangements. If you would like to donate, you can donate to the Rickey Parks Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo location.
At this time, funeral arrangements are pending.

In his own words, Nooj tells of his first meeting with the other three involved in the Crimson Squad debacle.
The Confessional
(#) fyre_byrd 2005-07-21 08:53:16 AMI enjoy Nooj's suspicion and his thought that the Crimson Squad is not an elite force, but that they have been assembled for another purpose. It seems very like Yevon to have deliberately sent the Squad into the Den of Woe, knowing what they would encounter there. You write Nooj's voice well.
Author's responseThis story has managed to morph into a quartet of stories as three very fine writers have joined me in a sort of meta-meta-meta-fic. They are each writing in journal style from the points of view of the other three participants in this exercise. Their versions are posed over at FFN. If you would care to have a link to them, visit my LJ at http://www.livejournal.com/users/kunstarniki/

I am glad you find this pleasing since it is my first try at writing in first person singular and I felt somewhat unsure at the beginning.

Luxury Gifts
What do you buy the man who has everything? One of my dearest friends is my biggest dilemma at Christmas, as I always like to buy him a gift, but he's impossible to buy for! Having spent the last few days searching, I think I've found the answer from JA Campbell! Offering a range of exquisite sterling silver goods, which are hand crafted in England, they would make great Wedding presents or offer something special for the impossible to buy for friend! My personal favourite is the silver birthday cake candle holder, which could be handed down generations, and start a new family tradition. I adore the decanters they're so elegant and with so many choices of design, I think I'll have to put one on my Christmas list for next year!

SWsoft's Virtuozzo and the Egenera BladeFrame System to Deliver Server Virtualization for Improving IT Infrastructure Utilization—Reducing Hardware, Software and Management Costs
Herndon, VA — March 28, 2005 — Today, SWsoft, a leader in server automation and virtualization, announced that it has joined the Egenera Accelerate alliance program as an Assured Solution Alliances member. At the same time, Egenera has become a member of SWsoft's Strategic Technology Partner Program. Through this joint alliance, SWsoft and Egenera will participate in co-marketing, sales opportunities and testing to further the use of the Egenera® BladeFrame® system and SWsoft's Virtuozzo, a server virtualization solution that creates multiple isolated Virtual Private Servers (VPSs) on a single physical server.
"Our alliance with Egenera represents a positive step in providing our customers with solutions to simplify the management of their server infrastructure," said Kurt Daniel, director of marketing, SWsoft. "The combination of Egenera's BladeFrame system and Virtuozzo can lower TCO through server virtualization that scales and utilizes each server to its fullest potential."
"We are pleased to align with SWsoft to deliver utility computing solutions to businesses seeking to consolidate workloads without losing application isolation or producing a lot of overhead," said Susan Davis, vice president of marketing and product management, Egenera. "SWsoft is a leading virtualization company with world-class customers that delivers a complementary solution well suited for our BladeFrame system."
Egenera BladeFrame System—Any Application, Any Time, Automatically
SWsoft's Virtuozzo for Windows has been validated on Egenera's BladeFrame system. The BladeFrame combines the utility of stateless servers with powerful software that virtualizes processing, storage and networking resources into a "computing fabric." Businesses can provision systems and allocate resources in minutes to optimize mission-critical applications in real time.
Virtuozzo—Specifically Designed for Production Servers
Virtuozzo empowers enterprises with powerful Microsoft Windows Server and Linux virtualization solutions. Customers can leverage Virtuozzo on standard and blade servers for server consolidation, departmental-specific servers, development and testing, managing application growth, minimizing downtime and patch management.
The core benefits of Virtuozzo include:
High Performance — innovative OS virtualization technology is a very thin layer that interacts with the existing OS and hardware without adding system calls or overhead.
High Scalability — Split a single physical server into tens or hundreds of VPSs with full dedicated server functionality proven for up to 16-CPU systems and up to 64 Gigs of RAM.
Isolation — Each VPS is completely isolated. Files changed in a particular VPS only affect that VPS and can not damage the kernel or other VPSs.
Robust Resource Management — Designate minimums and maximums for system resources such as CPU, memory, disk and I/O. Automate responses and actions to resource thresholds.
Powerful Management Tools — mass management of large groups of servers and VPSs with fine-grained, browser-based command line and client tools and application templates.
Rapid ROI — Virtuozzo drives lower hardware, OS and management costs providing a favorable total cost of ownership and rapid ROI.
About SWsoft
SWsoft is the recognized leader in automation and server virtualization software for hosting service companies, communications providers, and enterprises. The company powers more than 80,000 servers for customers in over 100 countries. SWsoft's products deliver industry-leading performance, stability and manageability for its customers to increase flexibility and utilization of their limited IT resources.

In business, something (an idea, or plan, usually) set up to be knocked down. It's the dangerous philosophy of presenting one mediocre idea, so that the listener will make the choice of the better idea which follows.
It backfires with some frequency, as the listener (out of sheer perversity) will insist on the straw dog.
by Arunabh Das April 22, 2004
a straw dog is a scapegoat group, place, person or idea in which we dump our evilness, so we can blame it and then by attacking, dissing or destorying it, we externalize it outside of us so we feel free of sin.
America often uses an 'out group' as a straw dog, such as Communists, terrorists, labor unions, gays, in order to deflect attention from the bad things we're doing, such as exploiting the environment or third world labor.

The whole point of the article was to make something to disenchant into Cosmic Essences because those still have a fairly high value on the auction house. I don't think Basil is saying this is the ONLY way to make money but its certainly a way to make money. You're right; your mileage is going to vary greatly depending on your server economy and I don't think he needs to put in a disclaimer for people to be smart enough to know that.

Not that I like to box myself in, but a great deal of my sports and action work entails covering professional golf, primarily for Sports Illustrated and Golf Digest (and its sister publication, Golf World). So while I don't necessarily relish the idea of furthering my reputation as a "golf photographer," I do quite a bit of it, and would be remiss if I didn't include a separate sampling of my work within the sport here.

Sometimes he lies awake in their … his … their bed and remembers their very first date, from another lifetime, it seems; a stunning, enigmatic super spy and a talky computer nerd, chatting away, her smile wide and toothy, those pearly whites brightening up her entire face, her laughter loud and contagious, genuine. He thought it was real and unforced back then when he hardly knew a thing about her. Now, years later, he no longer thinks it was real. He knows it was. She might no longer remember every single detail about their long journey together and she may sometimes still look at him in wonder, as if trying to comprehend how exactly she got there, but the smile is back, or more precisely, it never really disappeared, the smile he is pretty sure she only ever used on him. She still laughs at (almost) all his jokes (even the less successful ones), her lips wide apart, the whiteness of her teeth nearly blinding and he knows she is still there. His Sarah is still there.

Overview of the Centre
Twin Rivers is a family based rehabilitation centre located in the picturesque and tranquil Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. Founded by addiction treatment specialists David Briskham and his wife Caroline who between them have over 30 years of addiction recovery experience. Twin Rivers is the manifestation of David and Caroline's vision to create a facility that takes a unique approach to the holistic treatment of modern day addiction and mental health disorders. Twin Rivers has been designed from the ground up to provide individualised care programmes that clearly separates Twin Rivers from most other rehabilitation facilities in South Africa and Europe . No more than 12 clients are admitted at any one time, ensuring that each client receives regular individual therapy from addiction counsellors and a psychologist; just one of the reasons that Twin Rivers has a five star rating, click on the link in the top right-hand corner of this page. It's this approach that enables Twin Rivers to work successfully with addicts and alcoholics, clients who repeatedly relapse, those who suffer with the loneliness of repeated anti-social type behaviours and clients with a dual diagnosis, all of which requires specialized individualized care. Much thought and planning went into the location and design of the Twin Rivers who employs a highly qualified and experienced team of 'recovering' and 'non-recovering' practitioners.
Plettenberg Bay is located on the Garden Route, an area world famous for its beauty and serenity. The town is bordered by long sandy award winning beaches and there are a huge variety of activities and attractions nearby such as elephant parks and the worlds largest aviary, Birds of Eden. We believe that a professional rehabilitation facility such as ours offers a great opportunity for clients to relax and detach from troubling external issues and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Our dedicated multidisciplinary team is unified in our vision to introduce clients to an improved way of thinking that will positively impact their behaviour, leading towards a more constructive and meaningful lifestyle. We pride ourselves in the quality and efficacy of our program and base everything we do on our basic tenets of total professionalism, compassion and essential individualized client care. For a refreshing and innovative approach to addiction treatment, contact us at Twin Rivers rehabilitation centre and talk with a staff member.
Addiction does not simply disappear; It remains within you, but it sleeps! By working the 12 step recovery programme you may develop the ability to choose whether to wake it up or not!
Twin Rivers is a licensed centre for addiction recovery:
South African Department of Social Development-Certificate No - 15/10/3/4/2C-02/2013
Board of Healthcare Funders of South Africa-Practice No – 047 001 044 8850
Twin Rivers Centre is constantly developing programmes that successfully address modern day addiction and mental health disorders. South Africa may seem a long way to travel but in comparison it is a small price to pay!
Twin Rivers – Where recovery starts!

More on why Sandor hates Tyrion
I love your essays! They're amazing — I've been reading them obsessively for two days now. Since I finished my second run reading ASOIAF, and I am in withdrawal, sniff… Sansa is my favourite POV character, not least because that's where Sandor hangs out most often. Love Tyrion too.
I don't think Sandor's hatred of Tyrion began with his knowledge of what happened to Tysha. It seems to me his hatred began right after Tyrion stopped Sansa's beating. Before that, Sandor's attitude was described as 'insolence' (one of Tyrion's chapters in GoT), and he seemed contemptuous more than hateful.
continued, and my response, under a read more - this got really long!

John writes,
Would you be willing to do a piece on transhumanism? I've started to hear a lot about cyborgs and life extension and stuff, but it all sounds like science fiction. Is there anything to it, or is it all just hype?Yeah bro, sure thing. Transhumanism is interesting as hell.
So, broadly transhumanism is a movement that seeks to move past our human limitations by using technology. Think of all the cool shit we can do - we are already giving injured bros robotic limbs. And not shitty arms that just open and close like they're trying to pick up a stuffed animal - these arms are getting more and more badass by the day. If we invent an arm strong enough to throw a car and articulate enough to write in cursive, why wait to lose an arm the hard way? Just tack that shit on. We've invented a drug that literally makes you a paper-writing machine for eight hours straight - you can do fucking anything when you take something like Adderall, and it's a felony in the US to take it unless you have a doctor's note. A lot of transhumanists think that's not cool at all - think how much smarter we could be if everyone had access to super-focus.
Of course, while no one wants to be weak or dumb, what no one really wants to be is dead. Plenty of bros, especially existentialists, have written about the human condition as it relates to death; mostly, that it's fucking inevitable, and if we don't get over our fear of that we're going to waste our lives cowering. But who says we can't conquer death?
We can replace hearts, for fucksake. If we figure out a way to grow custom organs, we can get past death due to organ failure pretty much forever. Already, Dick Cheney doesn't even have a pulse thanks to his artificial circulator. If that's not a step toward Darth-Vader-style human preservation, I don't know what is. And who's to say that we can't also replace a brain?
"WOAH WOAH WOAH. Replace a brain? Doesn't that seem a bit extreme?" Well, yeah, it does. Isn't that the point, though? Here's where the rubber really meets the road on transhumanism - how far exactly can we push ourselves? At bottom, important questions about transhumanism are questions about what we are. Where does our identity lie?
If you believe that human beings have souls, for example, then transhumanism is probably out of the question for you. Dualism has fallen way out of favor recently, but there are various motivations to keep it around - especially certain religious metaphysics. And that's not necessarily a bad thing - Alvin Plantinga is an incredibly well-respected philosopher who is such a strong dualist he makes Descartes look like Stephen Hawking. As it pertains to transhumanism, though, dualism is pretty much a dead-end.
If you're a physicalist with respect to identity, transhumanism gets a little easier. The big problem for physicalists is that our body is constantly replacing old cells with new matter. There is almost certainly not a single cell left in your body that was around for your third birthday, unless you're ten, in which case - do your parents know what sort of filthy, sweary blogs you're reading, kid? So if your identity is in your body, but your body is completely different parts from when you were a kid, then who the fuck are you? This isn't a new problem, and there's a clear bullet to bite. The Yankees don't have any players from their first season, either; that doesn't mean they're not the Yankees. Sure, I'm not any of the original cells, but I'm all the same structures; I've just been patching up broken down parts for a while is all.
So if you're a physicalist who buys change over time, then transhumanism is possible - we can just start replacing individual neurons in your brain, one-by-one. Over time, your brain will become more technological than organic, and that's okay. As long as it's a gradual process, such that you have a chance to make the new neurons as much a part of you as that steak you had for dinner last night will become a part of you - really, what's the difference? - then we're not changing who you are; we're just guiding it, the same as you guide it when you read a book to learn. As your organs fail, we can replace those too, just as if you got a kidney transplant with tissue; soon enough, you won't be constrained to any of that squishy wetware that's so fond of dying all the time. Awesome.
Psychological continuitists, bros who believe that identity resides in some continuous mental function - usually but not necessarily memory - will have the easiest time with transhumanism. There doesn't have to be anything gradual at all about the transition - as soon as we invent the technology, we can upload our minds into fucking battle-mechas if we want and just go the fuck to town. We can ditch the body pretty much ASAP. Badass, right? Except, you know: amnesia. If a bro wakes up somewhere where he's never been and has no idea who he is, who is he? Is he still the same person? What if I upload my mind into an Optimus Prime build, because obviously that's the first thing I'd do, but a magnet accidentally gets passed over my head and the "hard drive" gets erased. Am I just... dead? Maybe there's a backup copy somewhere - but then, wouldn't I exist in two places at once? Is there no uniqueness at all to "me"? Could someone program "me" from the ground up if he just got a good look at the relevant memories?
So maybe it's possible that we can extend the biological lives of human beings into technological immortality. And if that's all there is to humanity, then yeah, transhumanism can indeed make us immortal, which would be sweet. But precious few of us believe that identity is quite that simple. Maybe someone could program a robo-Philosophy Bro who could walk, talk and swear exactly like me. Would he be exactly me? That's not so clear.
This just scratches the surface; transhumanism brings to light a lot of the problems that metaphysicians who deal with identity have been struggling with for centuries, and a whole host of problems ethicists have to deal with, too. Science can tell us how we function, but not who we are; now more than ever, well-reasoned answers to these questions are important.
Check out the SEP article on the philosophy of neuroscience for a really in-depth treatment of what advances in brain science tells us about identity.
The Wikipedia page on transhumanism touches on the brief set of issues I've touched on and has suggestions for a much wider range of issues and potential developments. I've only really scratched the surface here.
The Humanity Plus organization has a lot of resources for people interested in learning more about transhumanism; The Transhumanist Declaration is a good place to start.

Booklovers' Gourmet
55 East Main Street
Webster, MA 01570
Google Maps - MapQuest
Meet photographer Phil Smith of Douglas, MA on Saturday, January 19 from 2-4 p.m.
Artist's Statement:I developed an interest in photography as a teenager when my Dad gave me his Minolta SRT100 SLR camera, which I still have. I was hooked, and have been taking photos ever since. Over the past 30 plus years, I have shot countless roles of film both color and black & white and have spent many a day (and night) in the darkroom. I still love to shoot film - and will never part with my three film cameras - but I now shoot primarily digital because of the work flow, quick turnaround, etc. My darkroom now consists of my laptop and desktop PCs, which allow me to do many of the same things I did while working in the conventional darkroom without all the chemicals!
I really enjoy being behind the camera and creating images for others (and myself) to enjoy. Whether I am creating an image of a landscape, or freezing a moment in time through a portrait, I offer the same attention to detail in my work. My recent focus (no pun intended!) has been to document the beauty and ecological diversity of the Blackstone Valley. I have found many photo-worthy locations right in our backyard.

Pittsburgh Gazette Times, April 4, 1914:
Armando Marsans, left fielder of the Cincinnati Reds, deserted the team [yesterday] following a clash with Manager Herzog.
On Wednesday Marsans was slightly injured sliding into a base, and was unable to take part in the contest against Louisville on Thursday. [Yesterday] afternoon Herzog ordered Marsans to play left field, but the Cuban stated that he was not in condition to play.
"Go out and play just the same," said Manager Herzog. "I'm tired of all this stalling among you players."
As [Marsans] went through the gates he was heard to say: "I am through with the Reds for good. Guess that I will jump to the Federals, as they have been anxious to secure me all year."
This was a pretty big deal. Over the past two years as a semi-everyday player, Marsans had hit .307 and had gotten some MVP support.
He was back with the Reds within a week or so, but jumped to the Federal League at midseason.

After watching Franklin Morales ground out on a 3-2 pitch yesterday, I came to the following tactical decision: If I were an NL manager, I would forbid my pitchers to ever swing at any pitch once they had reached a three-ball count. Even if it's 3-2.
I think the lowest-level minor league affiliate of the Houston Astros has enforced that rule for all players on the 3-2 count specifically.

Garmin may have woken up and smelled the 'green' coffee. Their nuvi 1300 GPS sports the usual GPS features – 4.3-inch touchscreen, text to speech, etc – but it also let's you plan the most fuel efficient trip, something they're calling ecoRoute. For a an added cost, about $10 or so, city dwellers and tourists can download CityXplorer maps, which provide subway maps, street routes and other public transportation info.
The Garmin nuvi 1300 will hit next quarter for $250.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't mind kicking so much when I can do it by myself, it's trying to coordinate an interrupt rotation with various other melee on fights that demand it that I find really stressful at times. Someone always kicks the wrong thing or kicks out of turn, and trying to quickly get someone else to step in and then fall back in to the rotation can get really messy.
Also I often find myself missing my FoK interrupts.
DeathPaladin said...
As a Frost DK, I am specced into Endless Winter because it makes me better than a Rogue at interrupting.
An off-GCD, short cooldown interrupt that costs zero resources. A Rogue that kicks may lose a Sinister Strike or an Eviscerate, but I can continue Frost Striking with impunity. I literally lose nothing by interrupting that boss spell.
Nah, they added the +spell hit talent from Unholy to all DKs, so if you're melee capped you'll be good for spells, too.
Except for the Nerves of Cold Steel thing for DW frost, I suppose. That only adds hit to one-handed melee strikes, which doesn't include spells. And a 3% whiff chance is probably more than you want for your interrupts.

Lead Writer – Julia Barnes, with Jason Little, Tom McBride, Lisa Johnston, and Chelsey Laney…
Vapor Bitch is owned and operated by Geoff and Rich, two well educated, professional men who have turned their talents to creating eLiquids more than two years ago. Geoff has an MBA in marketing while Rich is a professional photographer and graphic designer. (And actually owns and operates a design and photography business).
Recognizing the bright future of the electronic cigarette industry and the opportunities that lies ahead for businesses that can create great eLiquids they formed Vapor Bitch. VB (Vapor Bitch) has become a successful business in its own right due to the dedication of Geoff and Rich's hard work for creating what they call "indescribable" flavors.
The above is the "official" line for Vapor Bitch and the people behind it, but does the official line fit the reality? This is the question we attempt to answer in this review. Are VB's flavors 'indescribable' as they indicate? Are they unique, delicious, and consistent? Or are they just ordinary, just okay eLiquids?
These are the questions any eJuice customer needs to know before spending money on a new brand (new to the customer anyway), and with more and more companies being formed every day that claim to have great eLiquids, potential customers must learn to vet the company first and not be sold on unique names for particular flavors, or custom packaging, or even price. Quality ingredients and talented eJuice creators are vital to every eJuice company, but there is more to it than that; the eLiquids must deliver a great vaping experience to the customer. Good vapor production, decent throat hits, and accurate and delicious flavors are what really separate the wheat from the chaff. So where does Vapor Bitch stand?
Let's find out…
Over a two-year period VB has developed and bought to market 25 flavors. I like that Geoff and Rich seemed to have focused more on delivering a limited number eJuice flavors rather than rushing out 50 or more. Let's face it, there are companies who have been around for less than two years that offer twice as many flavors as VB, and while some do a great job with many flavors, others do not. By taking it slow(er) than most, VB 'seemed' to take to the philosophy that 'less is more' when it comes to the number of flavors being offered. But is the "less is more" philosophy also carried over into the flavors themselves?
VB uses pharmaceutical grade ingredients and create their eLiquids in a special "dedicated sanitary environment". While I wish VB and others would be more forthcoming with their actual 'setup', we'll take it on their word that the sanitary environment is just that.
eLiquid Characteristics
VB eJuice is on the thick side, which is to be expected when their standard PG/VG ratio is 50/50, though you can specify the ratio that you want, to an extent. A 50/50 ratio, especially with VB juice, provides more vapor than you'll know what to do with, a nice feature any time. Color and aroma are not flavor specific with VB, so you won't tell much from a visual or olfactory examination of the eJuice. We found that in order to use a cartomizer we had to use a syringe as the thickness prevented a fast absorption using the tip of the bottle.
The names of the flavor offer no indication as to the flavor, so you'll need to read the description on their website to get an idea of what you're vaping, but even then you will have some difficulty figuring out what the flavor is. For instance, their Dragon Drop is described as "Smooth, sweet, a little tangy. Contains the power of the ancient dragon. With great power, comes great responsibility. Vape with care." I don't know about you, but other than knowing it's a sweet vape, there is no other indication that will help you decide whether you want to buy it or not. The rest of the flavors follow this same description mechanism.
Ordering from Vapor Bitch is pretty much identical to any other eLiquid "Best Practices", offering nicotine strengths from "zero" to 8mg, 12mg, 18mg and 24mg. You can choose the "house blend" of 50/50 PG/VG or 70/30 or 30/70. If you want a little extra flavor you'll have the option for that as well. Bottle sizes are 7ML, 11ML, and 33ML. Prices are $5.50 for the 7ML, $7.00 for 11ML and $16.00 for 33ML. Not a bad pricing structure. The bottles are plastic, with a tip and a screw on cap.
Before we get to the review of the individual flavors there are a couple of things worth pointing out. I was a little bothered by the Vapor Bitch homepage. Vapor Bitch is an eJuice brand, and as such eLiquids should take top billing on the homepage. Instead, what you see when load the page is a large photo of a Limited Edition Rebuildable Atty, then a large instructional video on that Atty, then 3 rows of 4 products each of vaping hardware…then you get to the eJuice flavors. I can't help but think that VB may be going through an identity crisis or they see more profit in the hardware, which is perfectly fine I suppose. But being a huge fan of eLiquids seeing all the hardware first was a bit disappointing.
The Review – Technicals
Vapor Bitch sent ten (10) flavors for review. They are:
- Pon Pon Juice
- Dumb Juice
- OurY4
- Dark and Mellow
- Oba Oba
- Geoff's Brew
- Afternoon Delight
- Cracked
- Oktoberfest
- Dragon Drop
Each flavor was 50/50 ratio, 12MG nicotine in 34ML bottles. Each bottle was filled to the brim with juice, so there was plenty for the team to use for 72 hours and more.
The Review
After spending 72 hours vaping Vapor Bitch exclusively our team assembled on October 31st and discussed their findings for half a day, longer than any previous eLiquid review we've done. The reason was there were less divided opinions about the flavors than expected, and nearly all the flavors were re-vaped during the meeting, something we've never done before. The scores, and the discussions led to some soul-searching on our part. We continued to vape various flavors to make sure we absolutely stood by the decisions that we made and the comments we would show in the review. To be completely upfront, Vapor Bitch did not score well with any member of the team, and all for the same reasons.
We used the same Grading Scale that we always use, the 1-5 stars, but there were some differences in the grading than before. All team members agreed that the vapor production was phenomenal, due to the 50/50 PG/VG blend. Since all flavors had the same ratio it wouldn't benefit the reader to read our vapor descriptions for each flavor. All flavors were also 12MG (1.2%), and the Throat Hits were also much the same. Again, due to the 50/50 blend the Throat Hit's never scored above a 3 unless we pushed the eJuice well past our "comfort zone". Each member of the team strives for a voltage setting that provides the maximum amount of flavor, not vapor production or warmth or anything else. That being said, the Variable Voltage devices (all supplied by MyVaporStore) were never pushed past 4.1 volts, and often remained at 3.8v. Anything higher either produced too much heat or lessened the flavor, and resulted in a burning sensation in the back of our team's throats.
The Scale
1 Star – Completely UnVapable
2 Stars – Meh, nothing to write home about
3 Stars – An average eJuice, nothing special
4 Stars – A good eLiquid, worth vaping, worth buying
5 Stars – An excellent eJuice with superb flavor and a satisfying vape.
The bottom line for the 10 flavors we reviewed is that all things considered, the only difference between each eLiquid was the flavor or lack thereof. We ask that you keep that in mind while reading our individual comments below.
And….Let's Begin…
Afternoon Delight – VB says; "An all day vape. Relax with the sensation of a southern-style sweet tea. Fresh, relaxing summer-time vape, but good all year round."
Julia – 3 Stars – Afternoon Delight is definitely a "tea" flavored vape. But the problem is that it tastes like old iced tea. And I know what old iced tea tastes like because I make a pitcher every day. Keira likes to point out when it gets 'old', and makes me taste it. Afternoon Delight has that same 'sense' that the iced tea has.
Tom – 2 Stars – Sweet, southern-style tea. No, it just doesn't fit. I get a hint of tobacco in it, but it's not sweet tea.
Jason – 3 Stars – It has some flavor, but not a lot. I get a hint of tea, but its not very complex or complicated. Its just 'meh'.
Lisa – 2 Stars - Afternoon Delight isn't very good, but its not horrible either. I guess I would say that it's just there. Not much flavor.
Chelsey – 3 Stars – Afternoon Delight is just okay. Not something that I would vape again though.
Geoff's Brew: VB says; "A smoky tobacco flavor without the sweetness of most tobacco vapes. All with a killer vapor production - Just the way Geoff likes it."
Julia: 3 Stars – Because of the name of this flavor I gave this one a more time to grow on me, but it just didn't. Geoff may like a mellow vape, but this was just an ordinary flavor. Not bad, but not that good, and completely average.
Tom: 2 Stars – Geoff must not like to vape much because this tasted like, well, nothing. All the flavors had plenty of vapor, including this one, but it lacks everything else.
Jason: 3 Stars – An average flavor with nothing special going on. What lacked was any level of complexity. It's okay, but way too ordinary. Not a good start.
Lisa: 3 Stars – I was hoping for better flavor from an eJuice named after one of the owners. There isn't anything that makes this special. I detected no complex layers of flavors and to this day I have no idea what flavors I am supposed to taste.
Chelsey: 2 Stars – I just don't know what I am vaping with this one. It's kind of sweet, plenty of vapor, and for that reason I could vape it okay. But this just didn't do anything for me at all.
Oktoberfest – VB says; "A sweet and extremely flavorful Fall Pumpkin and Spice flavor that will warm you up this fall."
Julia – 2 Stars – I expected a lot from this flavor, at least the taste of Pumpkin and/or pumpkin spice. But instead I got almost nothing. I didn't like the flavor, for what it was, and was disappointed that the claim of Pumpkin flavor was lacking.
Tom – 2 Stars – No pumpkin flavors at all. Had it not been for the vapor this would not register with me at all. I can't believe Vapor Bitch is saying that this is an "extremely flavorful" juice; it's just not.
Jason – 2 Stars – Whoa, I feel like there must be something wrong with this bottle we received. Pumpkin flavor? No way, its not there. I did not enjoy this flavor at all.
Lisa - 2 Stars – If there was a pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavor to be had here I missed it. I'm wondering if a 50/50 blend is completely wrong for this type of flavor.
Chelsey – 2 Stars – I taste more tobacco in this flavor than I do pumpkin. I will say that Oktoberfest had a better than average throat hit, so there's that.
Dark and Mellow – VB says; "It tastes just like one of those individually wrapped cigars with the white tip that you get from the convienence(sp) store."
Julia - 3 Stars – I have no idea what an individually wrapped cigar tastes like, but at least this one has some flavor to it. I didn't particularly like the flavor, but some people will.
Tom – 3 Stars – I'm the tobacco guy here at Spinfuel, so I should really like this flavor, but I don't. The flavor description is actually accurate; it does taste like a cheap cigar. I might vape this if there is nothing else to vape, but only if there was nothing left to vape.
Jason – 2 Stars – I'll tell you exactly what this tastes like; cheap. It tastes like a cheap cigar.
Lisa - 2 Stars – Definitely NOT a woman's flavor. Their description is accurate, if you are looking for a cheap cigar flavor than this is your flavor. It's not mine.
Chelsey – 2 Stars – Their description says cigar and their photo is that of a pipe. I would have enjoyed a pipe flavor, but Dark and Mellow is a cheap cigar. I didn't like it at all.
Dumb Juice: VB says; "A clean, relaxing, smooth, exotic fruit flavor that will clear your mind. It wont make you numb, but will make you dumb."
Julia – 3 Stars – The only flavor I can identify is lemon, nothing else. The description is all wrong. It's an average everyday lemon-like eLiquid. Nothing special.
Tom – 2 Stars – I'm actually a little angry about the name and the description for a lemon flavor eJuice. This is ordinary, beginners level lemon flavored eJuice with no complexities at all. Poor.
Jason – 3 Stars – Definitely a lemon flavored eJuice, and not a great one at that. Totally average.
Lisa – 3 Stars – A very average, ordinary, lemon flavored eJuice. Nothing in it is special and there are no complex exotic flavors at all.
Chelsey – 3 Stars – Not a total waste if you like a lemon flavored eJuice. But it's just an average juice, nothing special. The description is way off. Sad.
Dragon Drop – VB says; "Smooth, sweet, a little tangy. Contains the power of the ancient dragon. With great power, comes great responsibility. Vape with care. "
Julia – 3 Stars – There is nothing tangy going on here. It is slightly sweet, sort of smooth, but no identifiable flavors. This is an okay juice but nothing special and nothing complex or complicated.
Tom - 2 Stars – The description tells you nothing, and the vaping of this one tells you nothing. I expected a lot from Dragon Drop and got nothing special back.
Jason – 2 Stars – Not very good, period. Certainly nothing special. It was difficult to vape any of these flavors for 72 hours. I don't even know what this is supposed to taste like. Profoundly disappointed.
Lisa – 2 Stars – This isn't very smooth to me. It leaves me with a burning in the back of my throat. I did not like it, I wish I did.
Chelsey – 2 Stars – I am very disappointed with all the flavors. This one is probably the one I'm most disappointed with. Not special in any way at all.
Cracked – VB says; "Sugary goodness. Not fruity, not tobacco - just goodness. you will be back for more."
Julia – 3 Stars – This is the most accurate description. A sweet vape, but nothing more than that. It's a sugar vape, and not flavorful at all. If you like sugar vapes you might like this one.
Tom – 1 Star – I couldn't vape Cracked more than 10 minutes. You know what this is? It's sugar water in a PG/VG mix. Sweet and boring.
Jason – 2 Stars – Flavorless but sweet, too sweet. That's all I can say.
Lisa – 3 Stars – If you want a sweet vape that doesn't take like anything, then this is your vape. Sweet, sweet and sweet, but no flavor.
Chelsey – 3 Stars – Although I couldn't taste anything it was a sweet vape, and I like sweet vapes. I give this 3 stars because I can vape sweet vapes for a while and enjoy it. But it's nothing special at all.
Pon Pon Juice – VB says; "PON PON JUICE tastes like a candy shop has exploded in your mouth! Yeah, it's that awesome!"
Julia – 3 Stars – Pon Pon IS a sweet vape, and better than Cracked by far, but still nothing complex or nuance about this juice. It's a sweet vape and nothing more. Ordinary.
Tom - 2 Stars – There is only so much sweetness you can take and Pon Pon is only for those that want an ultra-sweet eJuice. This might be a decent vape for the sweet-tooth vapers out there, but not for me.
Jason – 3 Stars – As for the really sweet vapes from VB, this is the best of them. Very sweet and at least more flavor than just sugar, but there is nothing to make this a professional eJuice with any hint of complex flavors. A basic sweet eLiquid.
Lisa – 3 Stars – An okay sweet vape that is just okay. If you like sweet vapes this one is one you will like. But if you are looking for something with layers, this isn't it.
Chelsey – 1 Star – As much as I like a sweet juice this one gave me a headache within 5 minutes.
Oba Oba – VB says; "Another one of those indescribable custom flavors. It's sweet and "colorful". It tastes like a color you've never seen before. Thank you scientists!"
Julia – 2 Stars – A sweet vape that is so ordinary that you won't remember vaping it.
Tom – 1 Star – I could not tell the difference between Oba Oba and Cracked. Both way too sweet for me. None of these flavors have an ounce of complexity to them.
Jason – 2 Stars – Sweet. Period.
Lisa – 3 Stars – An average sweet vape with no identifiable flavors. Very average.
Chelsey – 3 Stars – I don't understand why none of these flavors have any real flavors to them. This is an okay vape, but one almost any one can make with a DIY kit. Sounds harsh, and I'm sorry for that, but that's the truth.
Our-Y4 – VB says; it's RY4…but it's our RY4. A new twist on a classic flavor."
Julia - 4 Stars – Without a doubt, the best flavor Vapor Bitch currently offers (of the ten we reviewed). A strong flavor, a sweet RY4 blend. If you like your RY4's on the sweet side, you'll like this one.
Tom – 3 Stars – An okay RY4, certainly better than the other flavors we reviewed today.
Jason – 3 Stars – A better juice than any of the others, Our Y4 is okay. If you're looking to try a new RY4 maybe this one will suit you, it is sweeter than most RY4's though.
Lisa – 3 Stars – As an RY4 it's on the sweet side, but its okay. None of the flavored we reviewed has any complexity, so this is a straight up RY4 with more sweetness to it.
Chelsey – 3 Stars – A sweet RY4 that isn't bad. It's not nearly as complex as some others, but its okay. You might like it.
Bottom Line
You read the word "complexity" a lot in this review, and for a reason. The team all had common views on the flavors reviewed because of this lack of complexity. Any eLiquid that has a complex layer of flavors will be something different to nearly everyone. In some of our other reviews the team members held vastly different opinions about the flavors because they (the flavors) were complex and intricate, layers and layers of carefully applied flavorings that cause you to taste one flavor on the inhale and one on the exhale. Vapor Bitch is a very different company.
Look, you may read this review and think that we slammed Vapor Bitch unmercifully, but look again. Every eJuice delivers an abundance of vapor, and a modest throat hit. But, as far as flavor goes this entire batch of 10 flavors we completely ordinary. Nothing special about any of them. To us.
What does that mean?
We've been reviewing eLiquids for quite some time and we've developed certain skills, much like a wine taster. There are some brands that are full of complex flavors, who's creators are amazing artists, or as John likes to say, "flavorists". Clearly Vapor Bitch is not one of those brands. Vapor Bitch makes uncomplicated, and for the most part, simple and sweet flavors. Period.
Should you buy from them?
That's completely up to you. However, if you are looking for complex flavors, like a delicate wine (again with the wine comparison!) then maybe Vapor Bitch is not for you. Then again, if you're looking for eLiquids that are uncomplicated then you may well like them. And believe me, there are plenty of people that look for simple, single flavor eLiquids that do not challenge their ability to discern different flavors.
Our impression
No one on the team spoke highly of any of the 10 flavors we reviewed. We want more in an eLiquid; we want to have a clearly complex set of flavors that make you savor the experience. An eLiquid flavor that forces you to figure out what it is you taste, and giving you an appreciation for the subtleties of mixing. We like a bigger throat hit as well, and we want a vape that will stay with us. Vapor Bitch flavors, while producing tons of vapor, were forgettable.
Sometimes reviews like these cannot be helped. We appreciate Vapor Bitch's effort in sending ample supply of eJuice for all our team members, and we can appreciate the difficulty of making any eLiquids. But, in the end, we have to be truthful to our readers and prepare to take some flack for doing so.

Julia Barnes, with Tom McBride, Jason Little, Lisa Johnston and Chelsey Laney.

Because I should so awfully want to pay it.
I see.
That's all I meant.
Does Hussein awfully want to pay it?
Well, no. But he hasn't seen you yet. He will then, of course.
[Enter Daoud. He goes to the unholy heap.]
Daoud, for the present these gods must stay. Aho-oomlah's gone, but the rest must stay for the present.
Even so, great master.
Daoud, go once more to the palace of the Lord of the Pass and beat the outer door. Say that the great lady herself would see him. The great lady, Miss Clement, the white traveller's heiress.
Yes, master.
[Exit Daoud.]
I have sent him for Hussein.
I don't know their language.
You will see him, and I'll tell you what he says.
Miralda [to Archie]
Have you been here long?
No. I think he wrote to me by the same mail as he wrote to you (if they have mails here). I came at once.
So did I; but you weren't on the Empress of Switzerland.
No, I came round more by land.
You know, I hardly like bringing Hussein in here to see you. He's such a—he's rather a . . .
What's the matter with him?
Well, he's rather of the brigand type, and one doesn't know what he'll do.
Well, we must see him first and hear what he has to say before we take any steps.
But what do you propose to do?
