Gareth Rees scored his second LV= County Championship century in as many matches to help Glamorgan secure a draw against Division Two leaders Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford.
After conceding a first innings lead of 93, the visitors were in serious trouble at 98 for five in their second innings just before tea on the fourth afternoon with England Lions spinner Simon Kerrigan claiming all five on the way to match figures of 12-252.
But Rees and one-time Lancashire all-rounder Nathan McCullum put on an unbeaten 85-run stand to secure a share of the spoils, with the former finishing on 107 not out as Glamorgan reached 183 for five.
Earlier, Lancashire replied to Glamorgan's first innings 474 by making 567 - their highest score against the Welsh side.
It proved to be a good Glamorgan debut for McCullum - who was only registered by the club on the first morning - as he claimed a five-wicket haul.
The New Zealand international began by bowling Luke Procter, who shared a 56-run stand with wicketkeeper Gareth Cross, for 75 after Lancashire started the day on 423 for five. McCullum struck again four balls later to trap Kyle Hogg lbw for one.
Skipper Glen Chapple swatted a four through midwicket off Dean Cosker to take his side past Glamorgan's first-innings total in the 150th over before being stumped by Mark Wallace off the same bowler for 31.
Cross brought up his third half-century of the season but became another Wallace stumping victim as he advanced down the pitch to Cosker on 64.
Arron Lilley, making his first-class debut for Lancashire, added an unbeaten 35 before McCullum claimed his fifth when Kerrigan was caught by Alex Jones.
On a pitch which offered little for the seamers, spin was always going to be the key to any Lancashire win and after being introduced into the attack in the sixth over, Kerrigan soon had Glamorgan nerves jangling.
At one stage the 24-year-old was on a hat-trick as his devastating 10-over spell saw him claim the wickets of Will Bragg for 13, Murray Goodwin for 10, Chris Cooke for five and James Allenby off the following ball for a duck on the way to the second 10-wicket match haul of his career.
When Kerrigan took a smart caught-and-bowled chance to dismiss Mark Wallace in the 32nd over, Glamorgan were effectively five for five and in danger of collapsing in similar style to when they lost to Lancashire on the final day at Colwyn Bay earlier this year.
However, Rees and McCullum saved the visitors, who claimed eight points to Lancashire's seven.

TOKYO (AP) - The screen is a monocle that fits over one eye. The computer, a pocketbook-sized box with two buttons.
Sound futuristic? Japanese camera maker Olympus and the Japanese unit of IBM came out with a prototype "Wearable PC" on Friday and said the gadget could hit stores soon.
The companies jointly developed the machine for those who can't be bothered to carry laptops around and want to wear their computers instead.
The 13-ounce computer has an Intel Pentium processor, 64 megabytes of memory and runs the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The tiny screen flips out from a headset and covers one eye, projecting the image of a much larger monitor. A banana-shaped handle with a touchpad and two buttons is used to select icons in the "Eye Trek" virtual screen.
The Wearable PC doesn't have a keyboard yet, but "we may develop that in the future," said Olympus spokesman Shinichiro Murakami. In the meantime, users can open and look at files and play audio and video.
Murakami said the companies will decide next year when to launch the computer.
Turkish army dismisses 23 Islamic officers
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey's staunchly secular military Friday dismissed 23 noncommissioned officers suspected of having links to radical Islamic groups, private NTV television reported.
During the past three years, the military has purged more than 400 officers for having ties with radical Islamic groups.
The army, which sees itself as the guardian of Turkish secularism, forced the country's first Islamic-led government out of power in 1997.
Radical farmer gets 15-month prison term
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - A regional court in southern Poland sentenced a radical farmer to 15 months in prison Friday for organizing the dumping of 500 tons of grain from rail cars to protest imports.
The farmer, Marian Zagorny, also was ordered to pay $47,600 in damages to the Polish state railway.
The sentence was tougher than the one-year prison term sought by the prosecution.
"I would have understood the spilling of a symbolic amount of grain, but not the waste of such important value," said the presiding judge, Miroslaw Plysa.
In July 1998, about 200 farmers from the Solidarity trade union opened up rail freight cars waiting at the Polish-Czech border and spilled about 500 tons of grain imported from Hungary.
They were demanding tougher restrictions and duties on imports of cheap grain. They also accused the Solidarity-dominated government of not keeping a promise to regulate grain prices to protect their produce.
Pressured by repeated protests, the government curbed imports and increased price supports for some domestic farm products. Analysts said the action contributed to a weakening of the Polish currency this year and to higher-than-expected inflation.
Zagorny's trial was held in Jastrzebie Zdroj, 210 miles south of Warsaw. The verdict and sentencing are subject to appeal.
Officials troubled by maestro's complaints
ROME (AP) - Rome's maestro is accusing the city of not doing enough to restore its long-troubled opera to anything like its past glory - an accusation city officials feared Friday was a sign of yet more opera troubles to come.
Giuseppe Sinopoli sent city officials a stern letter, disclosed Friday, saying their lack of consensus and commitment was dooming the comeback effort of the Rome opera.
Sinopoli's complaint worried city officials and left Romans wondering if they might be about to lose their conductor.
"I am sincerely saddened and concerned" about the opera's future, culture official Gianni Borgna said. Rome's opera runs "the risk of losing a great opportunity of a revival, incarnated in the person of Maestro Sinopoli."
Borgna, however, insisted the city had done, and spent, all it could to bring the opera back.
The Rome opera, which saw performances by the likes of Maria Callas in the 1960s, has been beset by labor strife, charges of political mismanagement and financial scandals. In the 1990s, leading opera stars tended to avoid it.
Sinopoli, whose past posts include a recent one as musical director of Dresden's orchestra, was conducting in Vienna on Friday.

Confirmed: "The Flash" Movie's Iris West Is "Dope" Actress Kiersey Clemons
Film, Comic Books
TV Guide has the first official look at Smallville's Chloe Sullivan from her long-delayed DC Universe debut in Action Comics #893, which goes on sale on Sept. 29.
The popular supporting character, played by actress Allison Mack, was created specifically for the television series, and introduced in the 2001 pilot. She was set to be integrated into DC's comic-book continuity in 2008 but those plans fell apart. However, the publisher at last announced in July at Comic-Con International that Chloe will have a recurring role in the Jimmy Olsen co-feature by Nick Spencer and R.B. Silva that kicks off with this month's Action Comics.
Spencer, who's best known for his Image Comics series Existence 3.0 and Morning Glories, tells TV Guide he had to make some changes to the character's history to enable her to fit into the established DC timeline.
"It's a pretty different continuity, which I think has always been the challenging part of bringing Chloe into the DC Comics Universe," he says. "She's never existed in the comics before, so in order to make a part of Clark's life when he was a teenager in Smallville, you'd have to do it somewhat retroactively, and it would age Chloe as a character a lot, since Superman is well past that part of his life in the books."
What's the point of introducing her into the comics?
Surely they don't think the Smallville TV audience will cross over.
Actually, with this and the DEATH appearance, I'm thinking about picking up Action Comics for the first time in a long while
Same reason they introduced Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya to the DCU, John G.
Chloe looks pissed!
Screw the haters.
I love Chloe, and I'm going to go pick up this Action Comics when it comes out. Dammit, this was pretty much the reason I got that "Secret Origins" comic: because of this Chloe signature on Clark's cast.
Yep, introducing her into the comics right when the show's last season is about to begin. Great synergy there, DC.
There's really no pressing reason to introduce Chloe into the comics. Also, it's not like when they ported over Harley Quinn. Even if you like her from the "I can't believe it's not Superman!" show, she's going to be inherently different because of the different context and setup.
Not really, as long as she is written in the same spirit as she is on the show than it should be fine. Personally she's been the best part of Smallville for years and really one of the few reasons that I still tolerate the show. Chloe is a great character that if introduced well can add something to the Superman universe, I might have to check out Action Comics to see if they can do her justice or not.
It makes sense to introduce her during the last season. If people still want to follow her after the show starts, now they can.
That makes no sense at all, actually, given the context is radically different, and anyone following 'Smallville' would be faced with the character in a milieu that only superficially resembles the one they are used to.
hell i love chloe she needs her own show and if she can get to the comics she deserves it that show did ten seasons and i watched all ten and i will get the comic shes in good job allison mack
So cool!

The Crucial Difference Between Pickled and FermentedFermented Foods, Healthy Living
There seems to be a bit of confusion going around about fermented foods and the difference between what you make in your kitchen and the pickled versions that are available on the supermarket shelf.
For example, in one of my video lessons, I demonstrate how to make sauerkraut in the traditional manner. After the shredded cabbage ferments on the kitchen counter for a few days, it is then refrigerated or kept in a cool cellar where the sauerkraut remains naturally preserved for extended periods of time.
How does this homemade pickled cabbage compare to the pickled cabbage in a jar in the supermarket?
Alex Lewin, author of Real Food Fermentation explains that the confusion comes from the overlap in definition. In a nutshell, not all fermented foods are pickled and not all pickles are fermented.
Still confused?
Foods that are pickled are those that have been preserved in an acidic medium. In the case of various types of supermarket pickles on the shelf, the pickling comes from vinegar. These vegetables, however, are not fermented (even though vinegar itself is the product of fermentation) and hence do not offer the probiotic and enzymatic value of homemade fermented vegetables.
Vegetables that you ferment in your kitchen using a starter, salt, and some filtered water create their own self preserving, acidic liquid that is a by-product of the fermentation process. This lactic acid is incredibly beneficial to digestion when consumed along with the fermented vegetables or even when sipped alone as anyone on the GAPS Intro Diet has discovered (cabbage juice anyone?). In other words, homemade fermented veggies are both fermented and pickled.
What about alcoholic fermentation? In the case of wine and unpasteurized beers, fermentation occurs as the result of certain yeasts converting sugars into alcohol but there is no pickling that takes place despite the common expression that a person who has had too much to drink is "pickled".
Home fermentation of vegetables preserves without the use of any pressure or heat unlike supermarket versions of the same foods. It allows the ubiquitous and beneficial lactobacilli present on the surface of all living things – yes, even your own skin – to proliferate creating lactic acid which not only pickles and preserves the vegetables, but also promotes the health of those that consume it in the following ways:
- Enhances the vitamin content of the food.
- Preserves and sometimes enhances the enzyme content of the food.
- Improves nutrient bio-availability in the body.
- Improves the digestibility of the food and even cooked foods that are consumed along with it!
So don't be fooled by unhealthy supermarket pickled versions of homemade fermented foods. These modern foods are the product of high heat and pressure which destroys nutrients and do not in any way enhance health. The one exception to this rule are the various fermented foods in the refrigerator section of many healthfood stores. These products are actually fermented and pickled. The only drawback is that these gourmet items are rather expensive compared to the pennies per ounce it costs to make them yourself.
If home fermentation is a kitchen goal that you are ready to tackle in 2013, feel free to use the numerous free video lessons on this blog to help get you started on this fun journey!

is it true the only way to tell without a microscope if something is really raw is if when you open it, the CO2 pushes the liquid out of the jar over the side? I understand that many jars from a certain company bought from the store do this and I wanted to let the company know about it but they would give me no comment. I think this is the only way to tell. If it's active the fermentation will slow down in the fridge but if it's taken out it will speed up again and you can bet it will sill out when you open. The liquid that spilled always has a zest of carbonation to it too and is really good. And wiping it on my skin healed up locked joints on my fingers.
Go to Garage sales and try to find the old style Glass jar lids and the rubber rings. I have found that these are the only ones which withstand the fermenting pressure and "keep" the fizz in the jar.
I always find Bormioli fido jars (italian glass with rubber seal and metal clips) at TJ Maxx and Marshalls at a fraction of what they cost on Amazon. I've been using them with great success and not a single problem for two years. When you lift the whole jar by the cap while still sealed, you can effectively burp and escape the gas build up.
Hi Sarah–I have a question. I have sauerkraut fermenting on my counter). It has been at least 2 weeks. I have left it as when I have tasted it, it still tastes really fresh & crunchy. I have a gallon jar and a quart jar. I have a coffee filter over each, the gallon with a rubber band and the quart I used a canning ring. They now have mold on top. The quart has enough liquid in it that I have not had to put anything on top to keep it in the brine. The gallon one has a scrunched up coffee filter to hold it down. Any explanation? The mold is whitish-gray with a little green. I made it a year ago and used whey. It was wonderful. This time I am off dairy so I didn't have any available. I used Shannon's recipe from Cultures for Health. It has a little carrot and chopped apples. Also, this time I used organic cabbage & last year I did not. Do I need to throw them away? Can we still eat it? What can I do if anything to make it safe? Thanks–Carol
Definitely throw it away! Once mold is present it has contaminated the whole batch. You should have better luck if you ferment in a sealed container which will prevent air from getting to your ferment. You can also buy glass weights to keep her ferment under the brine but I use small glass jam jars. I've also heard of people placing plastic bags filled with water on top

Yes. You ferment fruit for wine.
Is achar(indian pickle) considered fermented or pickled? Because the process does not include vinegar, but salt, mustard oil, and numerous spices. Here's a recipe for a typical mango pickle/achar:
1 large green mango raw pickling mango/about 2-1/2 cup cubed mango (they are available at Indian and Asian grocery store)
1 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon red chili powder, adjust to taste (lal mirch)
1/4 teaspoons turmeric (haldi)
1 tablespoons coriander seeds crushed(dhania)
1 tablespoon fennel seeds crushed(Saunf)
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (sabut mathi)
1 teaspoon nigella seeds/kalonji
2 tablespoons mustard oil or olive oil

jUST GETTING INTERESTED IN FERMENTING. LOOKING FOR INFO
Pingback: Feeding 100 Trillion Friends: Produce or Pills? | Edible Startups
Hello I do farmers markets, selling pickled products such as Asparagus, Green beans, Garlic, and a few more. I worked for a company last year selling the old way to can, fermenting with Ball and Kerr jars. I am know working with a company that bottles their pickled products by placing them raw and heating to like 220, and sealing with a screw on cap. Can you tell me what is the difference. I was told the heating and capping is the safest way to avoid bacteria. Thanks you
I love the taste of vinegar – is there any way vinegar can be added to the fermentation process or will that not work????
Is it ok to re-use the liquid from lacto-fermented pickles? I made sweet bread and butter pickles with whey and maple syrup, and we all loved them. It was pricey because of the maple syrup, though. Would it be bad to re-use the liquid on another batch? If not, is there some point down the road where I should NOT re-use? How would I know?
Pingback: Probiotics in Your Garden?! YES! | Green Bean Connection
Thank you so much for this post. I have been wondering about the jars at the store and have not ventured into doing my own "fermenting" yet.
I purchased (expensive) barrel sauerkraut from my local health food store. The brand name is GUNDELSHEIM. I went to their web site to find out if this is "real', straight up fermented kraut. Could find no information. If it says all natural, no preservatives, just cabbage and salt, and is in the refrigerated section, is that enough to ease my mind that I am getting the benefits of fermentation? I would hate to think that I am spending money on a dead product. Thanks
So, is the fermentation that takes place to make wine at all beneficial? How does it compare to fermented foods?

re: thyroid patients and cabbage: I was thinking of doing the GAPS diet in order to help my hypthyroid condition, but did have a concern about using fermented cabbage. Does anyone know if kombucha tea can be substituted for the fermented saurkraut liquid in this diet or any other solutions to this dilemma? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
Another question I have is, does fermented garlic have the same "antibacterial" benefits as raw. We have raw garlic every day during flu season to ward off the bug but I'm curious about the benefits of fermented.
the store ones are not pickled. they are flavored veggies. what you make in a jar or crock for days or even weeks IS pickles. that's why these 4 crocks I have are CALLED pickling crocks!
Mari Redder via Facebook
I've been making dill pickles with whey, salt and filtered water. They are to die for, however, they turn to mush. I mix with raw onion for a hamburger, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Adam Southerland
try a starter culture like Caldwells. This helps jump start the fermentation in the same way that whey does, however it is formulated in a way that certain bacteria do not crowd out (and thus consume and make mushy) your cucumbers before others do.
You need to add several grape leaves to the crock. The tannins will keep them crisp. You can also use black tea leaves, horse radish leaves or oak leaves from an oak tree. Clean them well and cut the stems off make a pile of them as your first part of layering the crock.
Annette Padgett
Our family had a great time this fall making sauerkraut all you need is cabbage water and sea salt! and watch it ferment!! We could not believe how easy it was to make and how nutritious it is for you! I found out the sailors kept barrels of sauerkraut to keep from getting scurvy.
Karibeth S.
Just out of curiosity…
My family has enjoyed Bubbies pickles. They say they have live cultures and are not made with vinegar, sugar or preservatives. They also make sauerkraut and make the same claims for it… Would Bubbies be a good store-bought choice?
Also, I do love Goldmine sauerkraut. Have not tried to make my own yet, but until I do… What do you think of Goldmine products?
'Just A Mom'
This is unrelated: but have a possible blog post idea? We just finished watching Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney's White Christmas movie from 1954 in color. Three times in this movie they mention "Buttermilk with a Liverwurst Sandwich" for lunch and even show Rosemary Clooney asking for it and eating the sandwich drinking the buttermilk with it.
Would you know of any good liverwurst recipes? I went to look up some in my Joy of Cooking Cookbook and Nourishing Traditions Cookbook, but was surprised to not find any there. It seems like it was a popular American lunch (from German immigrants?).
That is interesting. We recently watched another 1945 movie called "Christmas in Connecticut", in it one of the main characters was a soldier recuperating in a hospital. Unable to eat solid food at the time, his nurse brought him his meal, and when she lifted the lid, it was a bowl of milk with a raw egg in the middle!!!

This is great. Thanks!
I've just learned recently that the goitrogen effect increases with fermentation- this would be with the fermented cabbage. So if you have thyroid issues, beware.
Sarah Couture Pope via Facebook
Eileen Shahzada What you bought is fine IF it was refrigerated. If it was not refrigerated, then it is not fermented even if the ingredients do not include vinegar.
Thanks for the article. I love fermented veggies especially. I lived in Korea for a while and they are quite fond of their fermented vegetables over there. I just started some radish kimchi going the other day.
Thanks for this! I asked my hubby this morning why he wasn't healthy considering how much beer he drinks (since its fermented) sort of as a joke, but makes sense now!. I have been making fermented salsa for about 6 months (had some failed attempts with kefir) but he doesn't like the taste of vinegar…any suggestions? Also- I love kraut but he's not a fan. Is homemade fermented kind similar in taste to store bought? Thanks !!
Eileen Shahzada via Facebook
i bought some saurkraut and it only said cabbage and salt so that would be fermented and pickled wouldn't it since it doesn't have vinegar added?
Was it in the refrigerator section? If it isn't refrigerated it isn't still living.
Sometimes it is pasteurized, that may not show up on the label.
Does vinegar interfere with certain medications? My Mom's doctor told her not to take apple cider vinegar with her medications. My brother had two stents put into his main artery and the doctor told him not to use vinegar. One of my goals for 2013 is to start learning to ferment foods for better health and nutrition.
Thanks for the article! I have been making sauerkraut for about 6 months now and my entire family loves it. The last batch I made I used additional sea salt, per Nourishing Traditions, instead of whey (I had ran out). We definitely like our "whey" sauerkraut better than the last "salt only" batch. Besides the taste (far saltier!) is there a benefit one way or the other to using salt only?
Michele Fairman via Facebook
thank you for this !
We are now hooked on homemade sauerkraut! I have been making it for the last year and we won't go back to store bought. It is an easy process, and truly helps in digestion. Thanks for bringing clarity to the difference between real fermented vegetables and the vinegar – store bought variety.
My mom bought me Nourishing Traditions for Christmas because she knew I wanted it for a while now! I've already started embarking on my health journey for a while now, but I'm excited to get down and dirty with Enig and Fallon's recipes. 😀

By the way, I have a new fermentation video coming out soon. I filmed it last week
Can't wait to see it.
Are Bubbie's pickle or sauerkraut the fermented kind?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Bubbie's is definitely fermented .. it's in the refrigerated section and there's no vinegar in it. A good stand-in until you get your own fermentation machine going at home
The sauerkraut is fermented but I don't believe the pickles are. I just bought a couple jars at Whole Foods of the sauerkraut and saw they had bread & butter pickles as well. B&B pickles are my absolute fave, so of course I had to buy a jar. Putting them into the frig at home, I noticed that while the sauerkraut jars said to keep in the refrigerator, the B&B jar said to "refrigerate after opening" which I interpret as meaning the pickles were not fermented.
I know this is an older post, but I just wanted to clarify something on Bubbies. Their regular pickles, relish and tomatoes are all fermented, and sold raw. The Bread and Butter pickles are not fermented, but pickled with the vinegar method (I believe this was so they could fulfill their demand). Their saurkraut is also fermented, and treated with low heat (under 135 degrees) to slow the fermentation, as they otherwise would have trouble with exploding and leaking jars. This means that their saurkraut is not raw, yet it is not pasturized, either, and does still have live cultures (their estimate is about 90%). They explain all this on their website.
They have a dill pickle which is fermented, and a sweet bread and butter pickle which is pickled in vinegar.
A good way to know for sure is to check the label for words like "raw", "lacto-fermented", "unpasteurized", "contains live active cultures/probiotics", AND if it's sold in the refrigerated section.
Maris Russell via Facebook
Kimberly Lewis here's an article about fermentation from the blogger I was telling you about. So glad you all came over. We all really enjoyed the visit. Have a great time with your family and safe travels home!
What about adding vinegar after the fermenting process for a more "pickle flavor"?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
That should be ok but don't use balsamic vinegar from the store as it usually has sugar added.
get the ball jar canning book. it tells you how to do dill pickles in the crock then you have flavor and the pro-biotics. just good old fashion pickling

Thanks. Learning to ferment veggies is one of my goals for the year.

I teach Kindergarten Prep for 4 and 5 years old and it is important to me not to instill them with sexist values. Maybe you could make both options available to your students. Option A. If I were trapped in a tower I would.. Option B. If I saw someone trapped in a tower I would...ReplyDelete
Just thought I would mention it.
I ♥love fairy tales, they let children use their imagination and think outside the box. Your activities are wonderful!ReplyDelete

Over 50? Schedule Your Colon Cancer Screening
Rustgi says that the screening tests are useful for preventing colon cancer because the tests can identify suspicious polyps, or small growths, in the colon that could be precancerous, he explains.
Several screening tests are available, ranging from a simple home test that can be performed on an annual basis to a more invasive test that experts advise people aged 50 and older have every 10 years.
The home test is a fecal occult blood test, also known as an FOBT. The test detects occult, or hidden, blood in the feces. A positive result does not always mean that cancer is present, but blood in the feces can suggest cancer. Blood vessels on the surface of cancerous growths are often fragile, and in the intestine, can be damaged by the passage of feces.
Another highly recommended test is a sigmoidoscopy. Doctors use a sigmoidoscopy to look at the inside of the rectum for polyps projecting from the intestine. The procedure involves inserting a flexible, 2-foot long tube into the rectum and up to the colon. The tube allows doctors to see about half of the colon using an attached video camera. Experts advise people aged 50 and older to have one every five years.
Experts say that people at risk should have the entire colon examined using a colonoscopy every 10 years. A colonoscopy involves inserting a flexible, 4-foot long tube into the colon, allowing the doctor to see the entire colon and increasing the chances of spotting a cancerous growth.
In the CDC's two-year study, more than 63,000 people were asked if they ever had an FOBT, a flexible sigmoidoscopy, or a colonoscopy.
In 1999, about 40% of the respondents reported having an FOBT, compared with less than 20% in 1997. Another 43% reported having a sigmoidoscopy within the previous five years compared with about 30% in 1997.
Efforts are now under way to further increase awareness about colon cancer and screening. Earlier this month, the CDC and the Health Care Financing Administration, which oversees the Medicare program, launched a nationwide campaign to raise public awareness. Congress also designated March as "National Colorectal Awareness Month."

Is love the basis for every marriage? Is that why Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore, in support of equality, announced that he did not think it was the job of the State to "determine who people should fall in love with, or who they should spend their lives with"?
We know that marriage is a legal relationship that brings with it rights and responsibilities. We know it is a (potentially) life-long, exclusive commitment, but after that, surely it must mean different things to different people. This is the point. As it stands, the State dictates who I can marry, on the basis of gender, but the State will never dictate why I marry. These choices and these decisions are aligned to my autonomy, my liberty, and my freedom as an equal citizen of this country. Who is to say what marriage means to anybody else?
The reality of the matter is that people choose to get married for many different reasons. And these reasons are one's own, be it for love, legal, financial, spiritual, religious reasons, a combination, or some other reason entirely. To my mind, I believe marriage is about love, and I'm behind Tanaiste Gilmore in that respect. But that's the way I see it. It's not necessarily the way everybody sees it.
Some opponents to equality argue that the sole purpose of marriage represents the basis for procreation. Equality will never be defeated by such preposterous suggestion. For one, the Irish courts have repeatedly held against this notion and even the divorce amendment to the Irish Constitution envisages the dissolution of marriages with or without children. And marriages with children from either parent for that matter. And of course, any reference to children includes adopted children. The text of Article 41.3.2 (iii) provides that a divorce may be granted, where, inter alia:
"such provision as the Court considers proper having regard to the circumstances exists or will be made for the spouses, any children of either or both of them…" (emphasis added). If our Constitution envisages divorces with or without children, it can only follow from a Constitution that envisages marriages with or without children. There is nothing in law to mean that marriage as an institution represents the basis for procreation. There never was.
It is a most demeaning argument. Those that suffer the backlash of this kind of prejudice and delusion, are not only couples who comprise the same gender, but also married couples who do not produce their own offspring, together with married couples that do not want to have children. The advocates of this "procreation argument" must necessarily hold the proposition that these marriages are of some type of substandard status. After all, these marriages are not fulfilling the sole purpose of the institution as they see it. It is an argument that carries with it offensive disregard for many people.
To my mind, a most realistic, reasonable, sound, and sensible statement about marriage came from the judgment of Marshall C.J. in Goodridge v. Massachusetts (the case that secured the equal right to marry in that state).
Marshall C.J. stated that:
"Our laws of civil marriage do not privilege procreative heterosexual intercourse between married people above every other form of adult intimacy and every other means of creating a family… Fertility is not a condition of marriage, nor is it grounds for divorce. People who have never consummated their marriage, and never plan to, may be and stay married … People who cannot stir from their deathbed may marry … it is the exclusive and permanent commitment of the marriage partners to one another, not the begetting of children that is the sine qua non of civil marriage."
On the topic of divorce, which had the effect of eliminating the permanency aspect of marriage, one will note that the opportunity to exercise one's freedom not only to enter a marriage but also to end one, did not reduce the value of marriage. The opportunity for all couples to marry will not reduce the value of marriage.
I would like to make a point on this concept of procreation. Here's the thing. Some people may very well see their marriages as the basis for procreation. And that's fine. Why? Because they are entitled to see their own marriages that way. We don't have to agree on the purpose marriage serves for everybody. None of us has any say in why someone else gets married. What they intend to get from it, what they intend to put into it, is a private matter. What purpose marriage serves in their own lives, as they want to live them is for them to decide. They make their vows to each other, not to any other. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that such aligned intentions of two individuals to a marriage, is a good thing. They share the same outlook. Their views align together. This "meeting of the minds," a consensus ad idem, is something that incidentally is a prerequisite for all contractual relationships, and marriage is a contractual relationship. They are entitled to see their own marriage as a basis for procreation. They are not entitled to attempt to compel anybody else to see marriage that way, or attempt to obstruct justice on the basis of their views. This is the point; procreation may be an implicit or express wish between the parties to their own marriage, but it is not an implicit, nor an express requirement of marriage as an institution.
A further issue concerning attempts to rely on the "procreation argument" as justification to maintain inequality overlooks another very important point. It overlooks the importance of "family" to people and to couples. "Family" for the purposes of the Constitution is based on marriage. A married couple, with or without children, is a family under our Constitution. The current state of the law means that couples of the same gender are denied the status of a marital family, together with its rights and responsibilities, whether children are involved or not. The point overlooked is that many people want to bring up children in the marital family setting. As Marshall C.J. in Goodridge noted, there are many means of creating a family. Indeed, it is something that I could potentially see my own future involving. And how I go about bringing a child into this world or into my family, is of my concern only. Call it a family matter.
In November last year, the Irish Times ran an article about Robyn O'Connell and Denise Boyle, a committed female couple, who plan to enter into a civil partnership in June of this year. The article makes it abundantly clear. Civil partnership is not their first choice. They want to affix some legal form and recognition to their relationship. If they want to do so, by way of a formal commitment, civil partnership is their only choice. They love each other, they want to start a family and have children; they want to get married.
What sort of fairness is it, should these two ladies embark on a civil partnership that their big day brings with it a big concern, not only over the status of their union, but importantly, concerns over their legal relationship to their future children that they want to raise together. As it stands, once a couple is not married, whether they are in a civil partnership or not, one of the parents remains a legal stranger to the child she or he is raising. If Robyn and Denise want legal recognition of their relationship, they are forced to settle for something inferior while their peers have opportunity to enjoy a superior status, with superior rights. There are no two ways about it. Civil partnership is their only option (which offers no protection where children are concerned). There are two standards however. There are two rules; civil partnership and marriage, and this double standard is not acceptable. There is nothing inferior about Robyn and Denise's relationship. They love each other, they want to start a family and have children; they want to get married. This is something very familiar to Irish society.
From my own personal perspective, I believe marriage involves love. To Phoenix Flame, "Marriage is love personified." Some might say I sound like a soppy old romantic. I'd probably agree, but I would also say that I'm far from alone. I've got company. Over the last few years I've been to a number of weddings. Some were family, some were friends. They were all quite similar, in that they were church weddings followed by a day of celebrations. But they were all uniquely special in their own personal ways. I always find weddings to be such endearingly personal days. I feel like I'm sharing in the couples' personal happiness for that day. The energy is infectious. They are wonderful experiences. Whatever their uniqueness, there was no variation as to what the prospective spouses joined together to embark on and what had brought them there. Love had brought them there. It was a willingness and a want to commit to each other, to be loyal to each other, to honour each other, to mutually devote their lives to each other committed together in matrimony, that's what brought them there. Love and romance pervaded the churches. Good will and blessings showered the couples. It was their big day, it was their beginning of something new, something very special. They did it together, for each other, in the name of love, in the love of committed togetherness. They each arrived at the churches as individuals; they left together as unions, as one. Though surely a wedding must signify a commitment already made by the heart, signed by the hand on the day of marriage.
It was on one of these special occasions that I came across a marriage poem. I kept it. It found it special. It reads;
Marriage is more than a walk down the aisle.
It's a promise that's shared.
It's an intimate smile.
It's a personal bond that
You look on with pride.
And the knowledge that someone
Will be by your side.
It's a vow of commitment that's
blessed from above.
It's a hope and a dream
For a lifetime of love.
One minor difference, for me anyway, concerns the church element on foot of my being Catholic. But these are thoughts I shall tackle another day! I happen to think church weddings are beautiful. And yes, in the future, I would like a beautiful wedding. But what I will want is a beautiful marriage. There is nothing, absolutely nothing at all that took place on those special days that I don't see myself doing similarly, if not identically. With the very same hopes, and the very same aspirations held by my friends as they made their vows, their commitments underscored by love, and became a family as our constitution so defines one. It is beyond me why anyone would think that I would feel any differently on my special day, that I would want anything different from what my friends embarked on. Marriage is special in our society. Marriage is special to me. And I'm a part of our society. The gender of the person I will want to marry concerns only me. And our marriage will concern only us.
At the end of the day, there is no necessity and no requirement that we, as a society, be uniform in our opinion as to what marriage means to us as individuals and as couples and whether it includes children, or whether it does not. Who is to say what marriage means to anybody else? No uniformity is required relating to what we want from it or what we want to put into it. And this will never be the case. It is essential however, that there is uniformity in the law of our State and its treatment of all individuals and indeed of all couples. Our equal citizenship is by way of guarantee, which guarantees us equal entitlement with full and equal access to enjoy all the benefits of our society. The institution of marriage is seen as one of these benefits and it is the duty of the State to facilitate and enforce that guarantee.
As we move toward equality in marriage laws, it is important that we move away from these elements of tradition that purport to divide us, that interfere with fairness, that obstruct justice, and that are not necessary. It is abundantly clear; marriage is something held high in value and close to heart by most. What's love got to do with it? It would seem very much. What's gender got to do with it? It would seem very little. In fact, the only role that one's gender plays is that it currently operates to deny the opportunity of marriage. Where as, the sanctity of marriage, that we hold dearly, would be far better upheld by a society that promotes the values of love and commitment, not by one that operates to deny them.
It is time to retire this futile "procreation argument." It is time to uphold the autonomy, the liberty, and the freedom of every individual in our country. It is time to respect love. It is time to respect justice.

Most of the time when softball people get together to discuss the game, the talk turns to technique. They'll debate for hours on end regarding the best way to hit a ball, pitch a ball, throw a ball, etc. They'll talk about athleticism, conditioning and a lot of other physical aspects.
One subject that rarely comes up, though, is heart. That's a shame too, because while a player with great physical skills is a valuable thing to have, without heart you're not going to win as many games as you could.
Heart is what keeps a player going when others might give up. While a player with heart loves to win as much as the next person, winning is not what ultimately drives her. Instead, she plays for the love of the game, and thus focuses on the game itself rather than the outcome.
Players with heart are highly valuable to a team. Just as a player who loses heart can bring a team down, a player who has heart can drive her team to keep playing even when the odds are against them.
In fact, players who have heart often love the challenge of overcoming tough odds. That's not to say that they purposely try to get behind in a game, but when it does happen on its own it brings out the best in them.

View From the Beauty Closet: The Colors of Guy Bourdin
Guy Bourdin, the famous photographer of the 1960s and '70s, loved color—most notably colorful makeup. His models wouldn't just have a bold lip or a smoky eye; they always had both, and often with some superbright blush thrown into the mix. If you're not familiar with Bourdin, it won't be long before you are. With more women embracing colorful makeup these days, the photographer's work has resurfaced and become a major inspiration for many magazines and makeup companies. You can read more about him in our November issue, and even try out some of his favorite colors with Nars's just-launched Bourdin-inspired collection. What I really love about Bourdin's images are the amazing lip shades: vinyl red, Barbie pink, acid orange—the colors are so intense, bright, and glossy, they almost seem computer generated. I won't be wearing these lip colors with a smoky eye and magenta blush simultaneously, but I will be trying them out on my next night out.

I realise the usage of the disks will affect the performance, I'm just looking for a general estimation.
What would be faster, a single hard drive or a raid 50 configuration made up of 6 of the same hard drives?
This Serverfault posting discusses some of the ins-and-outs of storage performance on RAID volumes.
The answer, as always is "it depends". What kind of workload? What kind of hard drive controller? Raid 50 will stripe two raid5 2+1 which doesnt seem a very good compromise.
I'd normally say that the raid 50 will be faster but if you're actually considering using 50 on 6 drives, stop right now. Use raid5 for space or raid10 for speed.
Odd question - let's assume that you're talking about the same make/model of disks throughout and also let's assume you need a balance of read & write performance. Let's also assume you have a decent controller too.
In that situation you'll see the R50 array provide faster reads, both random and sequential but slower writes, especially random ones.
If I were you I'd go with either R1, R5 or R10.

Today the American Library Association announced its 2014 youth media award winners, which includes, among other awards, the Newbery Medal, the Caldecott Medal, and the Printz Award. Here are those winners (I'd link to their website for a list of all winners, but their website has always been atrocious and hard to access — it's no different this morning).
John Newbery Medal Winner (for most outstanding contribution to children's literature):
- Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures, by Kate DiCamillo
Newbery Honor Books:
- Doll Bones, by Holly Black
- The Year of Billy Miller, by Kevin Henkes
- One Came Home, by Amy Timberlake
- Paperboy, by Vince Vawter
This is Kate DiCamillo's second Nebery Medal. She won ten years ago for The Tale of Desperaux, which I liked. I'm afraid I have not read any of this year's Newbery books, though my wife and I have had our eyes on Flora & Ulysses.
Randolph Caldecott Medal Winner (for the most distinguished American picture book for children):
- Locomotive, written and illustrated by Brian Floca
Caldecott Honor Books:
- Journey, written and illustrated by Aaron Becker
- Flora and the Flamingo, written and illustrated by Molly Idle
- Mr. Wuffles!, written and illustrated by David Wiesner
In this group, I bought my wife Journey, which, in a way, is an elaborate, beautiful reimagining of Harold and the Purple Crayon. I loved it. We are also big fans of Flora and the Flamingo.
Michael L. Printz Award Winner (for excellence in literature written for young adults):
- Midwinterblood, by Marcus Sedgwick
Printz Honor Books:
- Eleanor & Park, by Rainbow Rowell
- Kingdom of Little Wounds, by Susann Cokal
- Maggot Moon, written by Sally Gardner; illustrated by Julian Crouch
- Navigating Early, by Clare Vanderpool
I'm afraid I know nothing about any of these books, though I think Midwinterblood has an intriguing title. I'm curious.
Coretta Scott King (Author) Book Award Winner (recognizing an African American author and illustrator of outstanding books for children and young adults):
- P.S. Be Eleven, by Rita Williams-Garcia
King Honor Books:
- March: Book One, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin; illustrated by Nate Powell
- Darius & Twig, by Walter Dean Myers
- Words with Wings, by Nikki Grimes
While I have not looked into any of these specific books, these are authors I've heard quite a bit about. In 2011, Rita Williams-Garcia was a Newbery Honor winner for her book One Crazy Summer, and Walter Dean Myers has been a Newbery Honor recipient twice, once in 1989 for Scorpions, and again in 1993 for Somewhere in the Darkness.
Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Winner (for the most distinguished book for beginning readers):
- The Watermelon Seed, written and illustrated by Greg Pizzoli
Geisel Honor Books:
- Ball, written and illustrated by Mary Sullivan
- A Big Guy Took My Ball, written and illustrated by Mo Willems
- Penny and Her Marble, written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes
We always make sure to pick up the new Elephant and Piggie book, so we've read (many times) A Big Guy Took My Ball. I'm not familiar with the others, though I think it's fair to say today is a good day for Kevin Henkes, getting both this and the Newbery Honor.
Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these awards. I'd keep checking their website for the complete list.
3 thoughts on "ALA Youth Media Award Winners"
Rita Williams-Garcia has a really strong voice. One Crazy Summer was an excellent book. I look forward to reading P.S. Be Eleven.
Mo Willems won the Geiss Medal twice, a Caldecott Honor three times, and I think this would be the fourth Geiss honor. His work is the gold medal standard!
Early reading will never be the same! Voice, psychology, compassion, humor, art and arc – he has it all, and also a real sense for what an early reader should like look like and sound like. There is no compare.
Elephant and Piggy are going to be right up there with Scarlett and Rhett in the American Canon, and Trixie is my new American heroine!
His work is brilliant. And guess what? He works all the time!
May he be the Philip Roth of children's literature!
Mo Willems is the writer I admire most. This may change, I admit, as Milo and Mabel get older. But if there were a Nobel for Children's literature (and there should be) he'd be a winner!
Superlative is too weak a word for what he does, for what he can do!
Punctuation fails me when singing his praises. Nonpareil is the word that comes to mind.

Experimental results from a study of contact spots in aluminum-aluminum interfaces that have passed heavy direct currents are reported. The size, shape and appearance of the spot fractures were found to be correlated to the surface roughness and to the recorded voltage and resistance characteristics. Rough contact surfaces caused irregularly shaped contact spots to develop, while high and unstable resistances were always associated with large contact spots. The latter observation indicates that the electrical conductivity of the contact spots has been reduced by the electrical stresses

ANAHEIM -- On Thursday evening, a rickety old contraption pulled up in front of the Anaheim Ducks' dressing room and someone yelled, "Redemption bus, all aboard."
And pretty much every Ducks player, who had been lousy or invisible or yanked or hurt or not even playing in this series, jumped on board.
The redemption bus that carried the Ducks to this strange and somewhat improbable 5-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings wasn't necessarily a thing of beauty. Much like this game, it had its warts, noisy springs and a bit of a foul smell about it. Think "Partridge Family" meets "Christine" and you're close to understanding this conveyance.
But it's not the ride, rather where you go in the playoffs. Fact is, the Ducks shook off the one-game suspension to their best player, Chris Pronger, and then they shook off a series of mental blunders that saw them blow a 3-1 lead to even this Western Conference series at 2. The pivotal fifth game is set for Sunday afternoon in Detroit.
"Well, obviously, it was a huge boost. I'm really expecting that this is going to carry over in the next game, too, you know," said Anaheim's Teemu Selanne. "Obviously, we lost Pronger tonight. You can't replace guy like him. I think I [said] already before, it's going to give a great opportunity to other players to step up, show what they can do. They did great job."
And how about Selanne, who was one of the first to clamber on board the aforementioned redemption mobile?
Surviving without Pronger
Ric Jackman was asked whether it might be tough for Norris Trophy candidate and former league MVP Chris Pronger to get back in the lineup after Jackman scored his first playoff goal after taking Pronger's place in the lineup.
"You'd have to ask [Ducks coach] Randy [Carlyle] that one. I'm pretty sure he's coming back in," Jackman said with a grin.
Speaking of the erstwhile Pronger, Carlyle was asked earlier how he was going to help the defenseman through the suspension.
"I was just wondering who was going to skate him today. We gave that assignment to our video coach because they've got some things going on there," Carlyle said with a grin.
"Can't have four days off, can he, 'til the next game? He's got to go out and work."
• The Ducks' victory ensures that the Detroit Red Wings will have to travel west for a Game 6 for the third straight series. They wrapped up series victories over Calgary and San Jose on the road in those games. But one has to wonder whether the burden of additional West-Coast flights will at some point catch up to them.
The Ducks, by comparison, played Vancouver and Minnesota in the first round and their travel schedule has been relatively easy.
-- Scott Burnside
With zero points through the first three games of this series, Selanne had the kind of breakthrough night leaders have when adversity calls. He set up the second of three first-period goals, a power-play marker by Ric Jackman that just happened to be the Ducks' first goal on the man advantage vs. the Wings.
Then, he added his first goal in five games with just 1:29 left in the first, a goal-scorer's goal, as he swatted a bouncing puck past Dominik Hasek for a 3-1 lead. After the Ducks spit the bit and allowed the patient, punishing Wings to tie the game, Selanne added another power-play assist, this one on Ryan Getzlaf's winner 5:24 into the third period.
"When they don't go in, it's tough. But it's not about me. It's about team. Some nights you can't score, you have to do something else to help the team," Selanne said. "We need everybody, and tonight it was a little bit my turn. Obviously, confidence is everything about this game. I think this was really good boost for myself, too."
Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle was naturally pleased to see his long-ago teammate in Winnipeg shake the scoring monkey from his back.
"The pressure that goes with it, he takes it very personal," Carlyle said. "You know, he's a very emotional individual. He doesn't show that probably on his exterior. I know it was burning up inside of him that he wasn't scoring any goals as of late. It was good to see."
There were others who climbed onboard, too.
Todd Marchant assisted on Selanne's goal, his first point since March 31 and just his second since Feb. 10 in what has been an injury-plagued campaign for the veteran. Marchant, who has been moved to the team's top line with Selanne and Andy McDonald with season-ending injury to Chris Kunitz, was also crucial to the winner, digging out the puck and helping to screen Hasek.
Then, there was netminder Jean-Sebastien Giguere standing tall after being pulled in the Ducks' 5-0 loss in Game 5. Giguere turned aside a handful of glorious chances during a 46-second 5-on-3 Detroit power-play early in the second period. As if to reinforce he was back, he was likewise sensational in preserving a 3-3 tie during a 1:36 5-on-3 power play early in the third period.
"If you're down 3-1 going to Detroit, you don't even want to think about that," said Giguere, who stopped 36 of 39 shots. "Playoffs is one game at a time. It's only about winning and losing. It doesn't matter what the score is. When you lose a game, it doesn't matter if you play well or not, you just lost a game. You've got to move on and try to win the next one."
Of all the feel-good storylines that percolated through the Ducks' bountiful first period and beyond, none was more compelling than Jackman's first playoff goal in his first playoff game on his first playoff shot.
It was Jackman, a healthy scratch the last three games and out of action with back spasms the previous 10, who was called on to take the roster spot vacated by Pronger.
"I'm more excited about the win," the gap-toothed Jackman said when asked about the goal. "What a fantastic feeling. I was sitting at the end of the games, watching guys come in and it's such a special feeling. I just wanted to be a part of that."
Jackman, the fifth overall pick in the 1996 entry draft, has battled alcohol problems and is now with his sixth NHL franchise. To have stepped into such an intense situation and delivered was the ultimate illustration of the Ducks' ability to pull together in the face of adversity. Not that they didn't do everything in their power to drive redemption right into a brick wall. Most egregious were the two 5-on-3s, the second of which was set up by Rob Niedermayer's cross-check on Daniel Clearly two seconds into the third period.
"It was a dumb penalty by me," acknowledged Niedermayer, who scored an empty-net goal to seal the victory with 1:08 left in the game.
Asked what went through his mind as he went to the box for his third minor penalty of the night, Niedermayer said it's a nerve-wracking time.
"You're just hoping that you didn't cost the team a goal. The first they scored on it. You don't like that feeling at all. It makes for a long two minutes in there," he said.
In all, the Red Wings outshot the Ducks 39-23, had a 31-14 shots edge through two periods and probably deserved to win this game. But that's the funny thing about redemption -- sometimes you get it even when you don't necessarily deserve it.
"You know the team's going to play. You're not playing against Chris Pronger, you're playing against the Ducks," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "Just like when we lost our people, significant people for us, you just keep playing. That's what you do. That's what good teams do. So there's no surprise in that."
All aboard.
