It's an open secret. Throughout Chavez's tenure, America supported opposition candidates. Quasi-government agencies did so. They're at it again now.

He died on March 5. Smart money says Obama killed him. His death was very suspicious. A previous article discussed it.

True, He's the First Black President But Obama's the Worst President Ever
By Ron Ridenour
Yes, I mean it: the worst ever!
We've had James Monroe and his doctrine of supremacy over Latin America. We've had Theodore Roosevelt and his invasion of Cuba; Nixon, Reagan, Bush-Bush and their mass murder, and all the war crimes and genocide committed by most presidents. Yes, but we never had a black man sit on the white throne of imperialism committing war crimes.
A Nation Mourns
A Nation Mourns
by Stephen Lendman
Venezuelans mourn their great loss. Visceral grief pervades the country. Chavez gave so much to so many. He cared. He showed it. He made a difference. He accomplished so much in 14 years.
The torch passes. On Friday, Nicolas Maduro was sworn in. He's acting president. New elections will follow in about 30 days. Maduro vowed to continue what Chavez began.

In Loving Memory: Hugo Chavez Frias 1954-2013
By Cindy Sheehan
|At Miraflores in Caracas: January 2006
What do I do when I am angry, happy, or sad? I write.
Back in 2004, shortly after my son, Casey, was killed in Iraq, a grief counselor advised me to write a letter to my son in a journal every night. I filled up three journals in the terrible months after his death. I often wrote at his grave and those journals did help me deal with the unspeakable loss.
Today, I write from a great well of sadness, but not just for me, for the world. My dear friend in peace and justice, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, just lost his fierce and valiant battle with cancer.
Many people know about Hugo Chavez, the president, and constant thorn in the side to El Imperio the meddlesome and harmful Empire to the north. But I want to eulogize Chavez the man I knew.
He was my dear friend and comrade in a way where we were united in the struggle for peace and economic justice and equality. It's not like I could text him, or we would chat about current events, but whenever I had the privilege to be with him, warmth radiated from his heart and I was able to connect with him in very real and human ways. Compared to the palpable realness of Chavez, most of the US politicians I have met with are walking and talking ice sculptures.
The first time I met him in Caracas was in early 2006 at the World Social Forum. I had been invited to sit on the stage while he gave a speech to those gathered there from around the world. He introduced me as, "Señora Esperanza," "Mrs. Hope," in contrast to his nickname for George Bush: "Señor Peligro," "Mr. Danger." However, our brother, Hugo Chavez, was the one who gave us much hope.
I have met and interviewed so many people in Venezuela whose lives were immeasurably improved by the vision and dedication of Hugo Chavez. How can one put a price on going from being illiterate to being able to read? A 65-year-old woman told me her life was transformed by the adult literacy program. It really made me appreciate the fact that I have always known how to read (it seems). What would I have done without my best friends, my books? Wow. I guess Capitalism would tally the cost of educating one student and, of course education here in the US is now just another commodity, but the look of wonder in my Sister's eyes was priceless!
Another woman showed me her perfect teeth in a huge grin. She told me that her teeth used to be so bad, that she would never smile before, but now, due to her new set of false teeth provided by the national dental program, she walks around grinning like a lunatic all day, which made me laugh with joy! Again, Capitalism would say: One set of false teeth equals X amount of dollars. I say, being able to smile after years of embarrassing humiliation is worth more than any amount of gold.
Those are just two stories out of millions and my heart breaks with sorrow for the People of the Bolivarian Revolution that must be even more devastated than I, today.
I witnessed Chavez the proud "abuelo" (grandpa) once on a long flight from Caracas to Montevideo that I took with them. We chatted about out "nietos" (grandchildren) and felt a mutual connection there. I hugged my grandbabies a little harder today when I found out that Chavez died, because I know the wonderful connection that he had with his. My heart breaks for his children and his family, and his brother, Adan, who seemed to be constantly at his side.
It's just a very hard day.
I was with Chavez in Montevideo, Uruguay, for the presidential inauguration of Felipé Mujica. I was amazed that Chavez could just plunge into the crowds and interact with the people without a phalanx of bodyguards, anti-aircraft missiles and assault weapons. His security detail was prepared, but not paranoid like up here in the Empire. Someone who is universally loved by the 99% need have no fear. Chavez had no fear.
Chavez's courageous battle against the Empire was more successful than his battle against cancer. Chavez was able to inspire more leftist leaders in Latin America and my friends in Cuba will always be grateful for the friendship between Venezuela and Cuba. The struggle against neo-liberalism and the Empire has been far advanced under Chavez's inspirational leadership.
This is a sad day and I am angry that the so-called leaders of my own country made Chavez's life a virtual hell, but he survived one coup attempt and the many other attempts through the media and financing of his opposition to undermine the revolution.
When in the hell is this country going to mind it's own goddamn business and realize that not every drop of oil belongs to our oil companies and not every democratically elected leader must pledge undying obsequiousness to the Evil Empire?
I am immensely proud of Chavez and I am immensely proud of the people of Venezuela who have worked with him to improve their lives and because they really understand the concept of "national sovereignty."
I know the upper echelons of The Empire think they have won a victory today (if it didn't give Chavez his cancer in the first place—don't even start and say I am a "conspiracy theorist" everyone knows that the Empire is fully capable of it, they couldn't kill him, or depose him, outright) and all the oil will now flow back into the hands of our big oil companies, but The Empire underestimates the people of Venezuela and their dedication to the Bolivarian Revolution and love for their leader, Hugo Chavez.
As we sorrowfully say, "vaya con la paz" to our Brother, Hugo Chavez, let's also say, "long live the revolution."
Chavez will never die if we honor his vision and continue our struggle against The Empire.
A-dios, Señor Esperanza.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. Your light is far too bright to be extinguished by something as cruel as death and your light shines in all of us whose hearts burn with revolution and love for all the people.
My life and our world are far better today because of your life and the struggle continues until victory!

Guatemalans Resist Invasion of North American Mines
By Helen Jaccard and Gerry Condon
In November we traveled to Guatemala to study Spanish and learn about the lives of the indigenous Maya people. Guatemala is an amazingly beautiful country, with countless mountains and valleys, and 22 volcanoes, the most in Central America. The people are very friendly and good humored. Traditional Mayan culture, mostly observed in the colorful dress of the Mayan women, lives side by side with modernity. Picture a traditionally dressed indigenous peasant woman tending her cattle and sheep on a hillside pasture. Now watch her pull a cell phone out of her skirt to call her children.
Bolivarianism in Venezuela

With or without Chavez, it's institutionalized. It greatly improved the lives of most Venezuelans. It's become part of the national culture. It won't wane and die.
It reflects Simon Bolivar's vision. He defeated the Spanish, liberated half of South America, and advocated using national wealth responsibly, fairly and equitably.

Ending the US War in Afghanistan? It Depends on the Meaning of the Word 'War'
By Dave Lindorff
It is amazing to watch politicians trying to weasel their way around their promises. President Obama is providing us with a good illustration of the art.
December 1st Is Military Abolition Day
I've been fond of December 1st ever since I was born on it. I later found out that it had been on a December 1st that Rosa Parks had sat down and refused to stand up or move to the back of that racist bus in Montgomery. Later still I found out about a December 1st that had happened still earlier.
It was on December 1, 1948, that President José Figueres Ferrer of Costa Rica abolished the military of Costa Rica. He didn't "cut" its projected dream budget by a teeny fraction that sounded bigger if multiplied by 10 and announced as a reduction "over 10 years." He didn't cut it in the ordinary sense of actually cutting it. He abolished it. Costa Rica put its military in a museum and a museum in its military headquarters. It turned its military bases into schools. It turned its military budget into a fund for useful projects. In 1986, President Oscar Arias Sánchez declared December 1st the Día de la Abolición del Ejército (Military Abolition Day).
Without a military, Costa Rica has not been a perfect paradise on earth, but it has avoided invading or being invaded by other countries. It has avoided military coups and civil wars and CIA interventions (although a coup in Honduras in 2009 involved flying the president to Costa Rica).
Costa Rica is not rich, but its people have a higher life expectancy than we do in the United States. Costa Rica provides a social safety net and of course provides everyone healthcare, spending less per capita than we do but providing superior healthcare than is provided by the wealthy United States. Costa Rica is ranked by the Happy Planet Index as the #1 best place to live for happiness. The United States comes in at #150 out of 178. U.S. elections have 50% turnout and somewhere around 98% disgust. Costa Rican elections have 90% turnout and enthusiastic participation. And Costa Rica's way of life is far more sustainable than ours, one of the most sustainable in the world.
It's not a coincidence that our super wealthy country spends as much as all other nations combined on war preparations and ranks pitifully low in measures of health, education, environmentalism, happiness, and well-being. We imagine that without a big military other nations would attack ours. But why would they? Simply because ours frequently attacks others? That's a projection, not an observation.
We imagine that without the largest military ever seen, we couldn't attack other nations for their own good and the good of the world. But the tradeoff we've chosen is not one of sacrificing for the world's safety. If the United States didn't spend $1 trillion every year on war preparation and war, it could spend that money on its own people and the world's. We could have turned Afghanistan into Costa Rica over the past decade. We could have built schools and hospitals and green infrastructure. Does anyone seriously imagine that the people of Afghanistan or Pakistan or Yemen would hate the U.S. government more if it bought them a better life rather than raining its hated missiles from the sky?
Libertarians in the United States may not want to help the world, or even our own country, but they at least want to stop investing in killing. Liberals, on the other hand, want to keep the war preparations money flowing while taxing millionaires to help pay for it. Every "progressive" group in the United States right now is demanding that we protect what's left of our safety net, tax millionaires and billionaires, and (through careful silence) leave military spending right where it is or where it's headed. Costa Rica has made progress beyond the imagining of our progressives, and it hasn't done so through progressive taxation. Costa Rica has chosen not to make large-scale murder its primary public purpose, or any purpose at all.
In the United States, peace groups sometimes mark the International Day of Peace. But virtually everyone ignores Military Abolition Day. It's time we changed that.

Shooting to Kill Immigrants on the Mexican Border: WTF? A Border Agent Fired First at Immigrant Smugglers?
By Dave Lindorff
Sometimes it takes a small tragedy to call attention to expose a much bigger one.
The small tragedy happened when Nicholas Ivey, a US Border Patrol agent, was shot dead on a dark night in rough terrain along the border with Mexico in Arizona, a state that has been obsessing about illegal border crossers coming into the US from Mexico seeking jobs.
Worldwide Protests on Friday, August 24th at GM sites and U.S. and Colombian Embassies
International Call to Action:Support the General Motors-Colombia Hunger StrikersThirteen members of ASOTRECOL, the Association of Injured and Ex-Workers of General Motors Colombia, launched a hunger strike on Wednesday, August 1st outside the U.S. embassy to demand that GM justly compensate, provide medical care, and reintegrate over 200 workers who were fired after suffering work-related injuries. As proof of their commitment, the workers have sewn their mouths shut and plan to carry out the hunger strike to the death. August 24th marks the 24th day of their to-the-death hunger strike and 387 days of a tent occupation in front of the U.S. embassy in Bogotá. General Motors walked out of negotiations on August 6th and has since refused to return to the table. A few days ago Colombian authorities shut off the electrical supply to the hunger strikers' camp, leaving them without light and necessary medical equipment.Protests organized for August 24thDetroit: GM Headquarters, 300 Renaissance Center --- 12pmWashington D.C.: Capitol Hill --- 12pmNew York: Colombian Consulate --- 12pmBogotá: U.S. Embassy, 24/7São Paulo: Colombian EmbassyHanover: Colombian EmbassySPONSORS (as of 8/22): Witness for Peace; United Steel Workers; São José Metal Workers Union, Brazil (Sindicato dos Metalurgicos de São José dos Campos e Região); International Automotive Workers Council (Internationaler

Julian Assange will be granted asylum, says official
Ecuador's president Rafael Correa has agreed to give the WikiLeaks founder asylum, according to an official in Quito
Ecuador's president Rafael Correa has agreed to give Julian Assange asylum, officials within Ecuador's government have said.
The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up at Ecuador's London embassy since 19 June, when he officially requested political asylum.
"Ecuador will grant asylum to Julian Assange," said an official in the Ecuadorean capital Quito, who is familiar with the government discussions.
Targeting Chavez
Targeting Chavez
by Stephen Lendman
Since taking office in February 1999, Chavez has been Washington's number one Latin American enemy.
He worries US officials for good reason. He's a powerful threat. He represents a good example. Venezuela's social democracy shames America's. Bolivarianism works.
Who the F#&% Is William Brownfield?
By John Grant
Stop feeding the beast.
- Julieta Castellanos*
William Brownfield is a major architect in the current linkage between the failed Drug War and the War On Terror. He may succeed in making it an even greater failure in the future.
Assange in Trouble, Drones in Afghanistan, and Obama's Past Ties to the CIA
The Anti-Empire Report
Julian Assange
I'm sure most Americans are mighty proud of the fact that Julian Assange is so frightened of falling into the custody of the United States that he had to seek sanctuary in the embassy of Ecuador, a tiny and poor Third World country, without any way of knowing how it would turn out. He might be forced to be there for years. "That'll teach him to mess with the most powerful country in the world! All you other terrorists and anti-Americans out there — Take Note! When you fuck around with God's country you pay a price!"
How true. You do pay a price. Ask the people of Cuba, Vietnam, Chile, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Iran, Haiti, etc., etc., etc. And ask the people of Guantánamo, Diego Garcia, Bagram, and a dozen other torture centers to which God's country offers free transportation.
You think with the whole world watching, the United States would not be so obvious as to torture Assange if they got hold of him? Ask Bradley Manning. At a bare minimum, prolonged solitary confinement is torture. Before too long the world may ban it. Not that that would keep God's country and other police states from using it.
You think with the whole world watching, the United States would not be so obvious as to target Assange with a drone? They've done it with American citizens. Assange is a mere Aussie.
And Ecuador and its president, Rafael Correa, will pay a price. You think with the whole world watching, the United States would not intervene in Ecuador? In Latin America, it comes very naturally for Washington. During the Cold War it was said that the United States could cause the downfall of a government south of the border ... with a frown. The dissolution of the Soviet Union didn't bring any change in that because it was never the Soviet Union per se that the United States was fighting. It was the threat of a good example of an alternative to the capitalist model.
FSRN Interview: Student movement in Mexico sparks debate ahead of Sunday's Presidential election
Today, voters in Mexico head to the polls in a presidential election that has been shaken up in the last few weeks by student-led protests that are challenging the front-runner status of Enrique Peña Nieto. A victory for Peña Nieto, the candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, would mark a return to the executive office by the political party that dominated Mexican politics for more than 70 years. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the former mayor of Mexico City and candidate in 2006, is also running and, according to polls, is considered the second place contender.
For more, we're joined by FSRN reporter Shannon Young. She's been following the race and joins us from Oaxaca.

please help...after installing bulletproof security, i wasn't able to log-in on my site anymore. it kept re-directing to page 404. ive tried to rename the plugins folder & .htaccess..but still no luck. hope you can lend a hand here..
Which web host do you have?
Have you created a custom permalink structure?
Is this a Root website installation of WordPress or a subfolder installation of WordPress?
Is this a standard WordPress single site installation or a Network/Multisite installation of WordPress?
Do you have any other WordPress security plugins installed?
Typically you only need to do these steps below to be able to log back into your website, but if you have a subfolder site then you might need to upload a WordPress default .htaccess file to your website root folder.
Unable to login into your website:
1. Use FTP or your Web Host Control Panel File Manager and delete the .htaccess file in your website root folder.
2. Log into your website, click the BPS AutoMagic Buttons and Activate all BulletProof Modes.
Additional Troubleshooting Info
thank you for your response, im a newbie here and not familiar on how to do things. But these are the things i've done so far:
- i remember changing permalinks as what the plugin suggested to secure my site - i tried to use it on my log-in, but it redirects to 404 also.
- it's a single site installation
- yes, i installed wordfence also
- i tried to change the plugin folder to plugins.off - nothings change
- deleted the .htaccess file as what you've instructed. but still 404.
- deleted also the security plug-ins thru ftp - still can't access my site.
thank you so much...
i have a back-up before i installed the plug-ins...can i just restore it? so that everything will come back to it's place? if that's so, kindly teach me how to restore using FTP since im a newbie.
thank you so much...
Is this a Root website installation of WordPress or a subfolder installation of WordPress?
Root website = /your website is installed here
Subfolder website = /some folder/your website is installed here
Is your Hosting type Linux Hosting?
Download this file /bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/default.htaccess to your computer and upload it to your website root folder/the folder where your website is installed and rename the file to just .htaccess.
If you want to restore your files from backup use whatever backup plugin you have installed and do a manual restore. if you do not have a backup plugin then log into your web host control panel and restore your files back to yesterday.
Also which web host do you have?
- It's a root website installation.
- yes, linux type
- webhost - webresellers.net
pardon, where or how can get this file: /bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/default.htaccess
Do this instead. Use Notepad (not Word and not WordPad) and create a new text file and copy this default WordPress .htaccess code into that new text file. Save the file with this name default.htaccess. FTP to your website and upload the default.htaccess file to your website root folder (the same folder where your website is installed). Rename the default.htaccess file to .htaccess.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Did you create the default .htaccess file and upload it to your website? Are you able to login to your website now? Thanks.
yes, i was able to upload the default .htaccess file. I also changed my wp_config. deleted all my plug-ins & install it again....sigh...thank you so much! your such a blessing!

Quoting Jedkins01:Overpopulation is an issue. It occurs all around us in the natural world and is happening right now with humans.
The best way to manage this problem is certainly up for debate, and outright killing people is definitely not the way to go, but to say it is a myth is ridiculous. Our planet was not meant to hold an infinite amount of organisms - resources are finite.

What a beautiful dream to achieve your Dreams. Few month ago, I was sat in the garden thinking about the past, my carrier as a singer performed in concert, playing musical in sumptuous theaters, everything came through my mind and I also remembered about someone who told me that, your dreams you have to put them out and forget about them, you will never achieve them, I would love to say that no one can break our dreams sometimes it takes time but never give them up. Now when I think about this negative person, I laugh, I now can say that "Your dreams come true" no need to get them out and forget about them, because your dreams can be achieved. Now Dreams the album is not just Dreams but a must come true!

My bio
I was born in Marseille «south of France." I wrote my first song when I was eleven years old, the song called "Superman is my hero. It was funny and childish, every time I memorized those moments it brings a smile to my lips.
My elder brothers and sister were the founders from a band named " Ire Ys" I was one of the singers in the band, but also the youngest. I was fourteen. Few times after they finally changed the mane Ire Ys into California, inspired by the song, Hotel California from Eagles. That song was one of the songs I first sang, but the very first one was Let it be from The Beatles. In reason to my deep voice at fourteen, I was able to sing songs, which were written by boys.
Say say say was a great song, a duet sang by Paul Mc Cartney's and Michael Jackson, I was very glad to sing that song with my brother Alain who interpreted Paul Mc Cartney part. The highest notes performed by Michael Jackson were a challenge for me, but I worked hard to reach that goal and accomplished it not too badly. It was a cool challenge, but at the same time it was the last song I performed in the band.
I had the opportunity to get auditions in professional bands. I wanted a real change in my career. I wanted to prove to all my family that I was not a child, and I was able to fly with my own wings. I needed more so after auditioned in several bands; I was finally hired by a professional band. Few years later the incredible family decided to refund California and asked me to join them another time, I did not dare to refuse and one more time I reintegrated the band, but for some reasons unknown to my knowledge, few months later it was the final curtain. I did not want longer to stay without jobs. I wanted to perform, so I looked for other auditions, after being hired, I performed as a female singer for few years in lots of bands, but something missed into my life, I realized how much I was in need to write my own music.
However, my passion to create music grew increasingly into my mind, and my wishes were definitely for writing my personal music. I needed to create, and it was at the top of my priority list. My own songs were written, but never recorded, until now, and I had to find the way to make my dreams come true, but it took time.
My first album is Dreams; all I can say is; now I know if you truly want your deep desire alive, you can do it but only if you really want it. A second album " All Colors" is another dream that I try to accomplish, a real challenge, but also a real happiness to me. Keep the faith in your in all you do and the magic will really occur.
Christine Rose
I am Christine Rose this is another part of my world I want to share with you my other passion, my love, Music. Music took me since I was born, even at the age of three whereas I was a little kid, I sang and moved my body in my baby gestures and language way, my singing was a mix French, English baby gibberish.
I can sense all vibrations when music takes me I feel all fusions as though particles growing through my veins and my entire body, from head to toes I feel blessed by this delicious enchantment which keeps my body and soul soars, Music gained my heart and transported it in another dimension.
Dreams is not only a wish come true, it's also sounds mixed with all rhythms all styles, there is not definitive style adopted all styles are guided by a divine light sprinkled on my path.
All music style are a language from soul, communicative and magic, music can be vector of different emotions and brings so much rhythmic variety, it's the same flow of senses in the same state of mind when I write fairy tales, I feel transported by all the magic worlds exciting about the process and music creation makes me feel the same intensity, overwhelmed by emotions.
Dreams is not only an gathering of styles but it's also a marriage between earth and heaven a feeling of grace and a blessing and all I feel in my life and all I want to share with people around the world.
Dreams is like a glowing light and stars through the nightly sky, an ocean, a mountain, an ethical and poetic inspiration, a vibration, a reflection of who I am. Thanks God for giving me the opportunity to be me" Christine Rose", a dreamer attached by a spiritual message of love through my music creations, writing, tales, and singing , I also want to thank Michael Jackson he was the best artist of all the time the greatest and he will stay the King forever, he will be my role model eternally.

9 CFR 381.169 - Ready-to-cook poultry products to which solutions are added.
(a) Butter alone, or solutions of poultry broth, poultry stock, water, or edible fats, or mixtures thereof, in which are included functional substancessuch as spices, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, phosphates, coloring materials, or other substances, approved by the Administrator in specific cases, may be introduced by injection into the thick muscles (breast and legs) of ready-to-cook poultry carcasses and may be introduced by injection or marinating into any separate bone-in part therefrom, for the purpose of providing a basting medium or similar function. The ingredients of the added materials and the manner of addition to the products must be found acceptable by the Administrator, in all cases. The introduction of the added materials shall increase the weight of the processed product by approximately 3 percent over the weight of the raw product after washing and chilling in compliance with § 381.66. The weight of the added materials introduced into the poultry products as provided in this paragraph shall be included as part of the weight of the poultry for purposes of the net weight labeling provisions in § 381.121(b).
(b) A raw poultry product, into which added materials are introduced as provided in paragraph (a) of this section must be labeled with a conspicuous, legible, and descriptive name, including terms that concisely describe the method of addition and function of the added material. All major terms in the product name must be printed with the same prominence, except that the words which describe the function of the added materials (such as "Injected for Flavored Basting") may be more prominent, provided this does not detract from the conspicuousness of the other terms in the product name (such as "Young Turkey"). The label must also bear a statement, in bold type, immediately below and adjacent to the product name, listing the common or usual names of the added materials in descending order of predominance. The first part of this statement must consist of terms adequate to inform consumers about the amount and manner of introduction of the solution (such as "Injected with approximately 3 percent of a solution of _____"), and must be printed at least one-fourth the size of the most prominent letter in the product name, with a minimum size of one-fourth inch for a ready-to-cook turkey and proportionately smaller for other poultry products. The remainder of the solution ingredients shall be declared in type at least one-eighth inch in height. The entire statement must be printed in a color that contrasts with the background and be displayed on the principal display panel.
(c) Approval for use of a label for product under this section depends upon the ability of the processor to control the finished product, within a range of three-tenths of 1 percent accuracy, so that the average percent of basting material in each outgoing lot is not greater than 3.3 percent or less than 2.7 percent of basting material when tested by an approved plant control procedure would be in compliance. As used in this section, "a lot" may be any reasonable portion of production designated by the operator of the official establishment, with a maximum of an entire shift's production from one production line. The control procedures to be eligible for approval by the Administrator must:
(2) Control the variability of the amount of added approved solution within the limits defined above.
(3) Provide for the disposition in accordance with the regulations of all products not in compliance with this section.
(4) Incorporate a system of raw weight identification of a sufficient number of poultry and/or poultry parts to allow effective monitoring of the system by Federal inspectors and official establishment employees.

Magic happens on the darkest night according to Bowmore, and to prove it the company recently employed some of the dodgiest Scottish accents in North London to guide a group of slightly bemused drinkers through "a sensory-filled journey of exploration that conjures mystery, myth and legend."
Some things are better in the dark. Nightclubs, hiding from people, sleeping… being Fred West… It's an exhaustive list. Bowmore's exploration of darkness and/or novel marketing strategies didn't include any of these things, but we did get to try Bowmore 15 Darkest (do you get the theme yet? Do you?).More...

If you haven't yet discovered Compass Box whisky it's high time you did because the company produces some of the best Scotch blends on the market today.
And this month, the raptor-retinaed among you will have noticed we are running a really rather brilliant competition, and all you have to do is buy a bottle of Compass Box to enter!
The prize is superb – a bottle of the original, illegal Spice Tree, plus two very different whiskies from the company's intriguing Canto Cask Range; Canto Cask 48 and Canto Cask 20 to be exact.
And even if you don't win, every bottle of Compass Box you buy will be accompanied by a free dram of another Compass Box whisky. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just off to buy a bottle of Flaming Heart and… what's that? I'm not allowed to enter?
Ok, unfair as that seems (there are only 250 chances after all) instead I'll tell you a bit about Compass Box.
The company launched in 2000, the vision of American blender John Glaser, ex-marketing director at Johnnie Walker.
John started his career in the wine trade where blended products are celebrated as much as their single varietal cousins. With whisky however it was, and to an extent still is, single malts that get all the glory.More...

Are you a single malt drinker of discerning tastes? Do you have the cocked eyebrow and furrowed brow of a whisky aficionado of esteem and worldliness?
Well, we regularly cock our eyebrows and furrow our brows (as evidenced by the photo of the devilishly charming Sir Roger Moore below).
We also find that most whisky liqueurs are too sweet for our liking. And are often made with cheap grain whisky, instead of top quality single malt. Eurrghh! This will not do!
So we decided to do something wholly unthought-of – we created a whisky liqueur for the single malt connoisseur.
This was much, much easier said than done though, in fact this liqueur has been literally months in the making. More...

Bruichladdich's New Releases for 2010
The Bruichladdich distillery is one of Scotland's most innovative. Their back catalogue is massive, and they are constantly finding new ways of breathing new life into a centuries old industry.
Peating levels, barley strains and distillation methods are all fair game for their whisky alchemy and Jim McEwan, the Master Distiller at 'Laddie, is an ardent fanatic when it comes to sourcing casks – they've used casks from first growth Bordeaux wineries – a 16 year old Château Lafite Finish for example - we've sampled a wonderful Guyanan rum finish and have even witnessed them delve into the occult with the 1989 vintage Black Art, finished in bourbon barrels and a medley of wine casks in the "stygian darkness of Warehouse No.12" (the tin and bottle are even emblazoned with a rather sinister looking pentagram!).

Kilchoman has firmly cemented itself as a member of that most exclusive club of distilleries… a club whose members release whisky which sells out instantaneously.
Now we're up to the third release of single malt from Kilchoman having had the Inaugural and Autumn 2009 releases (both aged for roughly 3 years and finished for a few months in Oloroso sherry butts).
The distillery (to the very west of Islay) is one of Scotland's very smallest, producing some 90,000 to 100,000 litres of alcohol per year – the whisky is rare and, by proxy, sure to sell out quickly.
The Spring 2010 release was matured in fresh Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels for 3 years before a finish in what the distillers describe as "very active" Oloroso sherry butts. This was then vatted with another four casks of refill bourbon matured spirit before being brought down to bottling strength with water from the Octofad Farm on the Rhinns of Islay. More...

Old whiskies have always commanded respect from the drinking public. It is widely thought that the older the whisky, the better. Distilleries have always pushed for this, because they can demand higher prices, and the increased rarity of old whisky has helped cement their éclat. At Master of Malt, we think whiskies have a life span; some require a lot of ageing to reach their peak, and others need only a few years. There are some very young whiskies which have reached their full potential very early in life; Ardbeg 10 is an awe-inspiring single malt and we've only got good things to say about the 3 year old English Whisky Chapter 6!
It is undeniable, however, that there is something very special about extensively aged malt. We've been lucky enough to taste some great 40 year old whisky recently.
A single cask 40 year old Glenfarclas had this impression on us:

Judging the Book by Its Cover
You might remember, a couple of weeks ago we wrote a post about Highland Park Earl Magnus. As we watched it fly off our shelves we got talking about packaging, and how important it is for luxury commodities – especially whisky. (NB we're by no means saying we think it was all style and no substance - the whisky was great, scrumptious even!)
Anyhoo, there's been a recent spate of success stories, from imperialistic decanters to cartoons and artistic fonts. Now everyone's jumping on the bandwagon, but there were those who did it first, and did it well.
One of the innovators was Jon, Mark and Robbo's Easy Drinking Whisky Company. The trio were friends and whisky connoisseurs - brothers Jon and Mark Geary, and David Robertson of Macallan fame – and their whisky was a far cry from some of the passé and overly conservative malts around at the time. To make doubly sure everyone knew this, the whiskies were given downright modish names; The Smooth Sweeter One and The Rich Spicy One, bedecked with caricatures of swarming beehives and Middle Eastern marketplaces of Hessian sacks filled with loose spices.More...

Many of you will be familiar with Ardbeg Serendipity; a 12 year old blended malt that sprung, rather fortuitously, from a little carelessness at the bottling plant. A few casks of very old Ardbeg were accidentally vatted with a small portion of young Glen Moray (a distillery which was also under Glenmorangie PLC's umbrella at the time).
It's the sort of story that sparks controversy. Perhaps it was indeed a little too serendipitous and might sound more like the work of a well paid marketing department than that of a hapless blender. At least a great whisky came out of it – which is the bottom line after all.
When John Glaser of Compass Box created Lady Luck, the inspiration was "a lucky blend." Sound familiar?
John vatted 25 and 29 year old casks of Caol Ila - a malt known for its oily, smoky character - and some 14 year old Imperial – a sweet, smoky Speyside. It sounds like the perfect marriage, let's find out…

The internet then - blogs and twittering, My-face, spacebook and so on... It seems to be the future doesn't it? We decided we'd better get on-board, so I thought I'd use this inaugural post to tell you a bit about what makes us tick.
To start, a bit about the team ethos - we're all passionate about Whisky here, Scotch, Japanese, bourbon, rye, Irish, European, we love it all - you'll find no xenophobia here, just a healthy dose of whiskyphilia.
We're on a mission to search out the most interesting, exciting, innovative and surprising drams from around the world, whilst maintaining a healthy respect for the traditional crowd-pleasing whiskies we first enjoyed so many years ago, and that have set us all on the path to spiritous Nirvana.

Time to say farewell to those hummers
Published: Monday, November 2, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 5:00 p.m.
Believe it or not, there are still some hummingbirds in our area of Western North Carolina. Whether these birds are heading south later than usual, it is hard to tell, but despite that fact there is still a small passage of these birds heading slowly towards the tropics. We are still getting daily phone calls asking about the correct date to take our hummingbird feeders down.
So when do we take them down? The answer is easy and straightforward. You can leave them up as long as you like.
However, I would probably take mine down before it freezes solid and falls apart so I won't have to replace it. Again.
Hummingbirds, like all other birds, migrate south by instinct at the same time each year. It is not a single external factor that causes them to fly south, but a combination of many things, such as changing day-lengths, seasonal temperatures and food supply.
Food is very important for migrant birds, as they need an abundant supply in order to fatten up for their long southbound flight. They do not wait for the food supply to diminish before they head south, but move ahead of the waning season.
Hummingbirds are sturdy little fellows and can withstand cold, even frosty temperatures as long as there is available food. By now there are very few, if any, flowers still blooming this late in the year and normally, most of the hummingbirds have left us by this late date. There are still some insects around as well but their numbers will certainly decline as the weather gets colder.
By leaving the feeders up a little longer, we are giving those late hummingbirds a helping hand. Without this, they may or may not make it on the way south.
But sometimes we do get hummingbirds that stay with us for the winter -- and they're usually not ruby-throated hummers. Western species, such as Rufous or even Calliope are more likely. Even these are very rare, but if you still have any hummers at your feeder or see a passing hummingbird during the winter months, just let me know.

Seattle Times supports gay marriage
I'm not sure if this is new. Maybe The Seattle Times has already endorsed gay marriage. But either way the paper's editorial from yesterday seems significant. Noting Canada's recent legalization of gay marriage, The Seattle Times looks ahead to the coming gay marriage battle in this state says:
Americans need to get past the politics and cultural knee-jerk reactions to gay marriage and join our northern neighbors in allowing same-sex couples to legally marry.
Amen. Full editorial below….
Editorial: Following Canada
CANADA'S legalization of gay marriage follows the inevitable shift among democracies to grant civil rights to all citizens.
Granting equal rights to all of the nation's citizens should not be a difficult decision. Yet it is. Here in Washington, a gay-rights bill narrowly failed in the last session of the Legislature.
The topic has become a political tool used to rally and denounce. What should not be lost in the discordance is that a whole segment of our population faces discrimination daily.
Why should a person be denied something as simple as hospital visitation of a sick partner because they care for someone of the same sex? They should not.
The old argument of sexual attraction being a choice is becoming harder to defend. More and more studies show that homosexuality is based not on choice but on hormones and genetics.
No church is forced to perform a marriage between same-sex couples under Canada's new law. Yet, predictably, the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian groups are upset by Canada's decision, which comes weeks after Spain, another predominately Catholic nation, legalized gay marriage. The Netherlands and Belgium also allow gay marriage.
The Catholic Church, Christians and other religions should embrace the evolving nature of marriage. Churches should find a way to strengthen marriage by accepting all who wish to align their religious beliefs with their hearts.
The United States has slowly started on the path toward legal gay marriage. Massachusetts allows it. Connecticut and Vermont have civil unions.
Gay marriage continues its contentious history in Washington following the gay-rights bill's narrow defeat in the Legislature. That does not mean the issue should be abandoned. The Legislature should revisit the issue next session.
Americans need to get past the politics and cultural knee-jerk reactions to gay marriage and join our northern neighbors in allowing same-sex couples to legally marry.

Viewer Comments: Sleepwalking - Experience
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Sleepwalking:
Comment from: Desparate, 35-44 Male (Caregiver) Published: December 24
I have 2 teens (boy and girl) and a 6 year old at home. My husband of 18 years has been bed wetting for almost two years now and sleep walking for almost a year. He thinks it is all funny when we tell him what he did. I have video taped him sleep walking. It is really getting to be to much for me to handle. He had tried more then once to climb in bed with our daughter, stacked stands like walls, went outside talking with the dog, and almost destroyed our 6 year old's bed while he was in it asleep. I don't know how to convince him to get medical help anymore. He has a bipolar disorder and the doctors he see told him to see his physician but no luck.
Comment from: M211, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: December 03
I'm 16 and in my whole 16 years of living I have never experienced sleep walking until two nights ago. That day I had to go in to a new job and start training. I got home around 10:30 and I know I was extremely tired I changed into my PJs and turned my alarm for school the next day. That's all I remember from that night. I woke up at 2:07 in the morning in my mom's room, sleeping next to my dad's side and my mom was nowhere in sight. I was really confused and thought I was sleeping but I realized it wasn't a dream. Later that day, my mom told me I woke her up at midnight and started telling her she had to take me to my job and that I had to go fold clothes or else they would not give me the job. I laughed it off with my mom because why would I leave my house to go fold clothes, but I just wish I could remember ever doing this.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I have always been a sleepwalker. Folks told me from the time I could crawl, I did it. I am 50 years old and still doing it. I have awakened outside, in cars, halfway down staircases, and the like. I have gotten hurt twice when I fell down stairs. Once, I fell in the tub and shattered my wrist, and I have been locked out of my home more times than I can remember. I do all kinds of crazy things when I am asleep.
Comment from: mammy worries, 7-12 (Caregiver) Published: July 31
I am a mother of four kids who are nine, seven, five and we have an 18-month-old baby. Quite frequently they sleepwalk. Sometimes they just wander around their rooms, but more worryingly on weird occasions, all the elder three sleep walk at same time and have climbed ladders, stairs etc. There must obviously something worrying the lot of them. I can't understand it.
Comment from: roberta, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 11
I am a 35-year-old woman who sleepwalks. I don't know how often but I wake up with cuts and bruises on my legs. Sometimes my back door will be open when I wake up.
Comment from: Peg, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 18
I sleepwalk, according to my boyfriend, and I talk and even eat food but I don't remember it the next day. I had left over lamb chops and potatoes and ate the lamb chops and whole can of cheese. The next day when I decided to have the lamb and potatoes for dinner, it wasn't there! I was shocked! I do feel tired the next day.

I'm 16 and I have been sleepwalking for a while, when I was little I used to wake up under the bed with no recollection of how I got there, within the past year I have started to get out of my bed and walk about, I have also started eating cheese whilst sleep walking (I know this because I have found bits of them in my teeth when I've woken up) I've also sat up, opened my eyes and had a conversation with my mum, she says I didn't say a lot and was only saying the most basic answers to what she was saying.

I used to sleep walk when I was a kid. Stress appears to bring it on and I have been sleep walking on and off throughout my adult life.
Comment from: Brenda, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: November 23
My first sleepwalking episode occurred when after a nap, I found myself outside in the middle of the day in my PJs.
Comment from: Evvieann, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 15
I am a forty-year-old woman and have been sleepwalking my entire life. Sometimes I just wander about or I eat. But what scares me the most is I also beat myself up and I have even thrown myself down a flight of stairs. I am terrified every night as to what I'll do next. Sometimes I don't know where I have been for days at a time. Anyone able to offer some advice as how to deal with this problem would be much appreciated.

Kmf,Have you seen today's match between monfils and verdasco in the first set tie break, monfils is cruising on his serve and chooses a terrible drop shot that gifted verdasco the set. Now guess what that was a lack of tennis intelligence, and even us scrubs can see that. Also, I find your argument very simplistic to the point of being childish, are we to assume that because they are pros they don't have mental lapses on court?

Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Steve: Jobs Helps Apple Announce the iPad 2
Is it the iPad 2? Is it? Tell me now!!
Apple didn't offer its customary live footage of today's much-anticipated event, but the techies frantically live-blogging had to know the announcement was going to be as-big-as-billed when Steve Jobs stepped onstage. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, host of the original iPad launch, erupted with cheering, applause, and then a standing ovation for Jobs, whose medical leave kept him away from Apple's recent board meeting for the second time in a decade. But Jobs has always been his company's best salesman and as he told the crowd, "We've been working on this product for a while, and I just didn't want to miss today."
MacWorld's Jason Snell reported that the CEO looked "like he's looked the last couple of years." After calling 2010 "the year of the iPad," with almost 15 million sold in just nine months, Jobs went on to give the people what they came for. Now that everyone has an iPad, 2011 might become the "year of the copycats." But Jobs said Apple hasn't been "resting on our laurels."
Enter the iPad 2. We don't even have one yet, but sweet Jesus, we can't wait to throw that nine-month-old pile of obsolete junk (that we don't own) in the trash and replace it with this shiny new thing. What can consumers expect? For one, a completely new design. Rather than just incremental improvements, the version 2.0 will be dramatically faster thanks to a new chip called the A5. Expect the CPU to be twice as fast and graphics to be nine times as fast. It will also feature both rear and front-facing cameras. And Jobs put it on a diet: The iPad 2 will be a whopping one-third thinner than the first iteration and thinner than the iPhone 4. It also lost 0.2 lbs. It will come in white and black, and work on both AT&T and Verizon, with the same ten-hour battery life. The price starts at $499, and five of the six models (depending on storage and whether or not they have 3G) will be under $799. Start standing in line, because it's shipping March 11 along with a nifty magnetized "smart cover" that you can remove in a second.
If this is what Jobs does during his medical leave, no wonder Apple's board doesn't want to talk about how they'd ever replace him in case of emergency.

If so how is business looking? Where are you? This is the first summer in 4 years that looks BUSY! yahoo! We are just outside of Portland, Oregon.
I think that the construction industry poses challenges that other industries don't such as the fluctuation in work throughout the year. Although my husband has never been laid off in 20 years the summers are where the money is and we have to bank for the winter, so a super busy summer is a huge blessing :)

By Spc. Sophia Lopez (316th ESC Headquarters)June 29, 2010
Story by Spc. Sophia Lopez
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (June 29, 2010) - In a woodsy back area of Fort Meade, Md., the sound of power generators and the occasional train accompany the smell of chocolate cake and coffee as Army Reserve Soldiers from the 611th Quartermaster Company move quickly inside a tiny mobile kitchen trailer, squeezing between one another or sliding past hot burners to prepare lunch for their own troops.
However, these field cooks are not preparing any ordinary meal. They take extra care in their work as they strive to make a name for themselves in the 43rd Annual Philip A. Connelly food service competition. To get here, the unit had participated in their command level competition, the 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, headquartered in Coraopolis, Pa.
Thirteen units remain in the Army Reserve Command level competition, of which the top four will be chosen this August to cook off once more at the Department of the Army level.
"This competition allows the food service staff of each unit to get out and do their job working with field equipment, instead of just the garrison equipment," said Chief Warrant Officer Mark Morrel, the culinary arts advisor for the Army Reserve and an evaluator for this competition.
The 611th Quartermaster Company, of Baltimore, is competing in the Philip A. Connelly competition for the first time. Assisting the 611th are Soldiers from the 818th Quartermaster Company and 326th Quartermaster Company. Aside from not knowing each other very long, one challenge Soldiers face is having to work out in the field. However, it gives them a chance to practice in a different environment and hone other basic Soldier skills.
"I'm really proud of them," said 1st Lt. Sarah Gleason, executive officer, 611th Quartermaster Company. "They've learned a lot of soldiering skills they haven't had a chance to practice in several years." These skills include setting up the campsite and camouflaging the tents and field kitchen. This along with safety and sanitation, and overall food quality are among the categories on which the units are evaluated.
Even though only one unit can claim the award, the impact this competition has on the Army food service has everything to do with improving their skills and working together.
"It's been a growth experience to work with another unit and get things accomplished," said Gleason.
Growth and training are top priorities for all units.
"Whether you win or lose, it's a great training experience," said Staff Sgt. Willis Glass, of Pittsburgh, first cook for the 326th Quartermaster Company, out of New Castle, Pa.
Teamwork is an essential part of everything the Army does and this competition is no exception. Not only did three units come together for this, but so did Soldiers of other specialties, a unique aspect of this competition.
"It's a chance to show off your hard work and work as a team," said Spc. William Randall, a power generator repairer for the 611th Quartermaster Company. During this competition, Randall worked in the sanitation center, keeping the constant flow of dishes and utensils clean and sanitary. "We don't want anyone to get sick for an unnecessary reason."
Back in the kitchen, food service Soldiers cook everything on their menu from scratch. They prepared lasagna, vegetable soup, broccoli, garlic bread, coffee and chocolate cake complete with chocolate icing.
For the competition and field training exercise, the company set up shop in the woods of Fort Meade. Soldiers pull security at the entrance of the only road access wearing battle rattle and carrying their rifles, even requiring a challenge and password from anyone entering the area. Soldiers spent the week before competition setting up the tents and field kitchen. Overall, they seem to enjoy the experience.
"The Soldiers are real excited to actually be practicing their field craft," said Capt. William Whiteman III, 611th Quartermaster Company Commander. "And the rest of the unit can see what cooks can provide in a field environment."
Whiteman said these surroundings help portray a similar environment to Afghanistan, complete with other Soldiers dressing as local nationals to prepare the unit on how to interact with the populace if they are deployed.
