A while ago Steven was sitting at home, a school night (he didn't go in) 4 am, listening to his favourite tracks whilst staring at a booklet of JWW pages stapled together. He was thinking about the lack of activity on textkit laughing how blunt JWW is and bumping his caput to a class track, by girl group 3LW (now 2LW still titled 3LW because one of the girls threw chicken in another girl's face) aptly titled "Neva Get Enuf". He thought that their notorious rather amusing commonspeech and lack of eloquence would make a transfixing contrast if led across to Latin.
Steven translated the awesome chorus whilst listening to the song at many strikes, by his idiosyncratic Latinity only. He also asked me to do a version also that we might compare the ways in which Latin can never be translated literally, and how language is affected by the mentality of the translators.
We be proving that Latin is easily better than modern expression, and has perished in that which concerns conversations since less people can access it. However, we ask those who are able to read it to pick the one which they prefer. Unless a poem's latinity be extremely sparse no certain one is necessarily better, but different. One incites that you only make a decision once you comprehend what be happening in each rendition through questions to the authors. Other competent additions are welcome. Also gratefully accepted are informal votes for the best lines
or appreciations of particularly queer unorthodox (i.e. Episcopal) lines!
The poems are not set in any paticular metre, there is no point really, and we'd like to keep this word order.
(I'm obviously going to put mine first heh)
He's gotta be the one
That I'm daydreaming to spend my time with
He's gotta be the one
With no chicks attached and that's my man
To all my girls that dream know what I'm talkin' 'bout
The ones that makes us cling to the thoughts of love
He's so fresh, he's so clean, yes, I call and he
calls me too
That's why he's bad, my babe, I could never
get enough
(Both of these are meant to have strange forms and syntax and basically to mock the poetic target that the readers not understand! whiteoctave if you wish to hurt us publicly please stay away...mate )
Latin (Episcopus)
Solo tempus eocum oportet in somnio
unus cor praebendus ille suum
aliis haud cum quaquam gallinis
coniugem fore illum meum
somniantes omnes ad meas
de quoque scientes alloquar sese
unus ille ut efficiens
amoris in imagines coniugamur
Quam nitens tam licens mente nunquam abstinens,
sese vocato etiam me reperit,
ideo coniunx meus
nunquam super ac satis,
posset quin adipiscar efficere.
Latin (benissimus)
nec possibile illo non somniem,
per diem quin catenis sit captus.
quae dicentem me cognoverint,
verbis coactae his sumus ut haereamus
amoribus ad cogitationes,
ac quam probissime tam clarus est
quem ego idem me aliter attigit,
huius nunquam satis habuero.
We should do poetry competitions really, with prizes. Something productive. I find that there are not enough learning a lot of Latin/greek nowadays. (Blunt I know but it is true, Steven back me up).
Thanks for reading this "like soo trash" as our 3lw would say.

It's a well
known fact that cheap jeans + rain = jeans sticking to you like cheap
adhesive. There are a few ways that you
can remedy this. The first option is to not go out in the rain, making sure
that you never have to feel like you've jumped into a swimming pool with all
your clothes on whenever it starts to rain. The second is to wear better
quality jeans. If you take the smart option then U.K selvage denim experts
Ironheart have you covered.
in 'extra-heavyweight' denim, Ironheart have gained a cult following amongst
denim aficionados, with their durable 21oz jeans

Dear Trishia,
Thanks for your email asking:
"To encourage preschool (3-5 year old) children to eat more fruits and vegetables, what might be a healthy dip for veggies to counteract some of the bitterness that naturally children avoid?"
To get this answered I checked in with Yo Pearl's newest guest blogger and our very own Resident Nutrition Expert, Dr. Melissa Wdowik, Director of the Kendall Anderson Nutrition Center, Colorado State University.
Happy Cooking! Yo Pearl the Science Girl -------------------------------------
We all know vegetables are good for us, but there is no denying that some are just bitter! To make matters worse, almost 1/3 of children are super tasters, meaning they really are more sensitive to the off taste. The bitterness usually means the vegetable is high in antioxidants and other great nutrients, so it is worth the effort to figure out how to get your kids to eat them. And parents, don't forget to model good behavior by eating your vegetables, too.
One tip for vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower is to cook them slightly; this reduces their sharpness but just watch out, because overcooking them will make them even more bitter. Allow them to retain a crunch, and serve warm or chilled with a dip. Try these easy suggestions for all your preschooler's vegetables!
1. Happy Hummus Blend in food processor: 1 15-ounce can of chick peas (also called garbanzo beans) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice ¼ cup water ½ teaspoon salt
2. Homemade Ranch Dip ½ cup nonfat yogurt ½ cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup chopped parsley (1 tablespoon dried) 1/4 cup chopped chives (1 tablespoon dried) 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Mix all ingredients well.
3. Cucumber Yogurt Dip 1 cup plain or Greek yogurt ½ cup cream cheese 1 cucumber, seeded and diced 1 teaspoon lemon zest or juice 1 clove garlic, minced ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped dill ( teaspoon dried) Salt to taste
4. Avocado Dip 2 ripe avocadoes, peeled and mashed 3 tablespoons lime juice ¼ cup onion, finely diced 1 small tomato, finely diced Salt and pepper to taste
5. Bean Dip 1 15-ounce can of beans, pureed (black, kidney, pinto, or even white beans work well) 2 tablespoons lowfat sour cream 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix or Mexican food spices such as cumin and chili
6. Black Bean Salsa Recipe 1 15-ounce can of black beans, drained 1 15-ounce can of petite diced tomatoes 1 small onion, diced Chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Celery Dip 1 8-ounce container of light cream cheese, softened 2 tablespoons light sour cream or nonfat yogurt 20 green olives with pimentos, chopped
Mash well with fork.
8. Savory Ricotta Dip 1 cup ricotta cheese 1 medium garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup chopped parsley (1 tablespoon dried) 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (or lemon juice) 2 tablespoons olive oil Black pepper to taste
9. Sweet Ricotta Dip 1 cup ricotta cheese 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 cup vanilla yogurt

Japan's foreign minister is promising Okinawans that Tokyo will press Washington to give Japanese authorities more jurisdiction over U.S. forces on the island. The pledge comes as the United States and Japan are trying to reach a compromise over a controversial relocation of an American air station on the southern Japanese island.
The visit to Okinawa by foreign minister Koichiro Gemba is seen as an attempt to assuage continuing resentment by the islanders towards both Tokyo and Washington about the burden imposed on Okinawa of hosting the U.S. military.
Gemba met with Okinawa's governor just days after the U.S. military conditionally agreed to give Japan increased criminal jurisdiction over American civilian workers at U.S. bases.
The foreign minister said he will continue to do all he possibly can to persuade the United States to make more operational changes to the Status of Forces Agreement, known as SOFA.
Okinawa Governor Hirokazu Nakaima told Gemba on Saturday he is grateful for Tokyo's effort towards further modifications of the agreement, which gives the U.S. military initial jurisdiction over its personnel, both soldiers and civilians, who are accused of criminal
acts in Japan.
The governor says there is a strong desire among the people of Okinawa for a drastic review of the agreement.
Crimes committed by U.S. military personnel in Japan have repeatedly caused public outrage, compounded by delayed handovers of suspects to Japanese authorities or when those convicted receive punishments perceived as lenient.
Public prosecutors on Okinawa on Friday indicted an American working ona base on the island for a January traffic accident that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old Japanese motorist. U.S. authorities had punished the employee of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), which is an agency of the U.S. Defense Department, by suspending his driver's license for a five-year period.
The Yomiuri, the top circulating newspaper in Japan, on Saturday quoted "sources close to the Foreign Ministry" saying American officials agreed to modifying how SOFA is implemented because Washington worries the issue could have political ramifications for other important issues. Those include the planned relocation of the U.S. Futenma Marine Air Station on Okinawa.
Tokyo and Washington since 2005 have planned to move the facility to the coastal tourist town of Nago. It is currently located in the middle of the city of Ginowan, which has been built up over the years around the busy military facility.
Despite the current noise and congestion in Ginowan, anti-base groups, backed by some local politicians, oppose just moving the base to another part of the island. They want the facility moved completely from Okinawa to another part of Japan.

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — Macedonia's parliament approved the 2013 budget late Monday, amid clashes outside the building between rival groups of protesters that left 11 police officers and at least three opposition lawmakers injured, police and party officials said.
Lawmakers voted 65-4 in favor of the €2.7 billion ($3.6 billion) draft budget in the Christmas Eve vote, as riot police were need to separate pro- and anti-government protesters, who hurled rocks and eggs at each other. Three protesters were detained for questioning, police said.
Other deputies were absent for the vote in the 123-seat parliament. Reporters were also ordered to leave the building before the vote. The budget must be adopted by year-end.
The Social Democrat-led opposition argued the conservative government was spending too much on grandiose monuments, as well as expensive cars and furniture for state officials. The opposition had demanded that spending be trimmed by more than €200 million ($264.5 million). In an emergency meeting Sunday, the government agreed to cut just €3 million ($4 million).
Social Democrat leader Branko Crvenkovski, a former president of Macedonia, announced his party would boycott parliamentary proceedings indefinitely.
He urged his supporters to join a campaign of "civil disobedience" aimed at toppling Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski's conservatives.
Crvenkovski argued that the budget was wasteful at a time when many in the country are struggling to make ends meet.
But in a televised address late Monday, Gruevski accused his opponents of staging a "violent attempt to overthrow democratic institutions and the legitimately elected government."
He added: "The budget is just being used as a pretext for a battle by (Crvenkovski) for his own political survival."
The U.S. Embassy expressed "concern and disappointment" at the clashes in front of parliament and urged the country's two main parties to try to ease tension.
"The peaceful expression of different opinions is the foundation of a strong and democratic nation, and the use of violence by any parties involved undermines that system and damages its ability to govern responsibly," an embassy statement said.
"The United States urges the leaders of all political parties and their supporters to put an end to these confrontations without delay."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A rare, life-size, anonymous portrait of Aztec emperor Moctezuma II and a ground-breaking surrealist painting by Chilean artist Roberto Matta are among the top lots in Latin American art auctions next week in New York.
Art experts hope that record sales of post-war and contemporary art this week will have a spillover effect and fuel demand for Latin American art during three days of sales at Sotheby's and Christie's.
"Just thinking of what just happened, of $1 billion of art sold in three short days in New York City is quite a phenomenon," said Axel Stein, head of Sotheby's Latin American department. "We're very interested in seeing what the result of that will be" for Latin American art.
Sotheby's top-priced lots, at between $1.5 million and $2 million, are Matta's 1943 oil on canvas "Nada" (Nothingness) and Mexican Dr. Atl's "Manana Luminosa" (Luminous Morning), a 10-foot (3-meter-wide) 1942 landscape of a semi-arid plateau dotted by snowcapped volcanoes in the distance.
Another highlight at the sale is expected to be a colonial portrait of Moctezuma II, the Aztec chieftain killed by Spanish conquistadors.
The anonymous painting, "Portrait of Moctezuma II," from the final quarter of the 17th century, is expected to fetch at least $1 million. The only other colonial work of the same scale and subject is in a museum in Italy, said Stein.
Matta's "Nada" shows plant-like forms hurling outwards with their stems ringed by sloping rays. A central butterfly-like shape ejects beams in slices of green, red, turquoise and bright sky blue.
"Matta opened a whole new world. He was as interested in what was going on inside matter as he was in cosmic realities," said Stein. "No surrealist had ever gone there, because surrealism had been about how the mind works and what happens in dreams."
At Christie's, the top-priced lot is a bronze sculpture by Colombian Fernando Botero, "Horse," done in 1999, which has a pre-sale estimate of $700,000 to $1 million.
Another Botero work, his 1981 painting "Nun Eating an Apple," will also go under the hammer. Christie's described it as a whimsical representation of original sin showing a portly nun, with a bible in her left hand and the forbidden fruit in her right. Its estimated sale price is up to $700,000.
Mexican master Diego Rivera's "Madre e Hijos" (Mother and Children), is expected to fetch $800,000. Painted in 1926, it depicts a barefoot boy standing next to his sister, who is ensconced in their mother's lap. The children show a gravitas beyond their years.
Christie's estimates its total sales on November 20 and 21 will be between $17.28 million to $23.97 million.
"We look forward to more landmark auction moments for the Latin American sale," said Virgilio Garza, head of Christie's Latin American art department.
Sotheby's expects its sales on November 19 and 20 to total at least $20 million.

Post subject: Dining Out: Chicago 2011 Part 3 - Pizzeria Uno, Giordano's
As part of our June 2011 trip to Chicago, we had the opportunity to eat at two famous pizzerias: Pizzeria Uno (at the original East Ohio Street location) and Giordano's (on Rush Street).
Pizzeria Uno
(29 E Ohio St, Chicago, Illinois), it takes about 45 minutes for them to prepare and bake your pizza, so they require guests to order the pizza prior to being placed on the wait list. If the wait is forty minutes long before you get your table, it's not a big deal since the wait for the table doesn't delay your food. We didn't know this the first night we tried to eat at Pizzeria Uno, so we went elsewhere. The next night, we returned, learned how the whole ordering procedure worked, placed our order for a small Numero Uno deep dish pizza, and prepared for a long wait. Surprisingly, after only ten minutes they had a table ready for us.
The table they seated us at was very narrow. It was so narrow that you couldn't put too plates across from each other and we had to sit staggered so as to not have our knees interlock (the opposing seats are so close that knocking knees isn't possible because they're overlapping so much that you're more likely to bang your knee on a thigh than another knee).
We started by splitting a Small Salad Bowl ($4.59) dressed in an vinaigrette.
About 35 minutes after we were seated, our small Numero Uno (extra cheese, fresh sausage, pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, onions, and green peppers) pizza ($18.29) arrived. The design of the Numero Uno deep dish pizza is different than your typical pizza. The crust is closer to a pie crust (very firm and almost flaky) than a traditional pizza dough. On top of the bottom layer of crust is a thick layer of low-moisture mozzarella cheese. It seems this layer protects the bottom crust from getting wet as the crust was dry and not one bit soggy. I loved how the texture of the crust was preserved in this manner. Next was as layer of sausage. This wasn't a layer of sprinkled crumbled sausage, but instead a solid layer of sausage meat which meant every bite had some sausage in it. Lastly, was a top layer of tomatoes and fresh vegetables that was seasoned minimally and tasted light and refreshing. Both Tina and I loved the way this pizza came out. It was both rich and heavy from the sausage, cheese, and crust, while being loaded with the bright flavors of the vegetables. (I should point out that the pizza is also not at all greasy.)
It's been a while since I've eaten at one of Uno's franchise locations (so my memory may be a little fuzzy), but I think I can safely say that the pizza served from the original location (and, I assume, Pizzeria Due down the street) is very different from (and much better than) the deep dish pizzas served at the other locations.
Later in the week, we went to
Giordano's Restaurant and Pizzeria
(730 North Rush Street, Chicago). Giordano's specializes in a stuffed crust pizza which is a bit different than the deep dish pizza sold at Pizzeria Uno's. At Giordano's, their stuffed pizza is double crusted. An extra piece of dough is placed above the main ingredients on the pizza and that crust is then topped with their tomato sauce.
The wait at Giordano's was going to be an hour and a half when we arrived. We put my name down, took a menu, and walked back to the hotel. About thirty minutes before my expected table readiness time, we returned to Giordano's and placed a pre-order for our pizza - a small Special (sausage, mushroom, green pepper, onion) which serves two or more ($19.15).
About ten minutes after we placed our pre-order, our table was ready (early). We got seated and ordered an appetizer combination platter ($10.50) with fried zucchini and fried mushrooms (neither one of us felt like fried mozzarella sticks, so we had them hold that). The breading was nicely seasoned and had excellent texture, but both the zucchini and mushrooms were (unsurprisingly) watery and bland.
About twenty minutes later, our pizza arrived. The pizza construction, as I mentioned before, is a little different than that of Pizzeria Uno's. The bottom crust is similar (pastry-like) and is also protected by a thick layer of low-moisture mozzarella cheese. The cheese layer did seem to be even thicker than that of Pizzeria Uno. Instead of sausage and tomatoes coming next, Giordano's has the green peppers and onions with a thin sausage layer on top of that. Then comes the second crust - a soggy layer of dough - which separates the tomato sauce on top from the rest of the pizza.}?>
I wasn't a big fan of the extra dough (it wasn't enough to make the pizza feel like you were eating substantially more dough, but enough that it makes a difference) or the fact that the vegetables were sandwiched within the pizza (resulting in them having an unappetizing limp texture from being steamed). Overall, it was still a delicious pizza and surprisingly ungreasy. Given the choice between Giordano's and Pizzeria Uno, I personally prefer Pizzeria Uno.

Tired of turkey legs, turkey breast, turkey thighs, turkey giblets, turkey hash and anything associated with turkey?
By Alan Clemons, Southern Managing Editor
In 1621 when the Pilgrims chowed down with the Wampanoag for that first autumn feast at Plymouth Colony, turkey no doubt was on the menu. That much is known, according to the surviving accounts, probably because the Wampanoag didn't have firearms to dispatch the birds more easily and any acorn-stuffed gobble bird definitely was appreciated.
But along with the turkey, dishes made from corn, probably some fish and shellfish, fruits and nuts, the assembled also feasted upon venison. I suspect the Wampanoag were pretty darn good at dropping a fat doe or buck (and probably didn't have antler restrictions), and we know they used antlers, hooves, hair, hide, bones and meat for many things. Practical folks, those Wampanoag.
They probably would have loved this custom knife, and you will, too. Plus, it's on sale!
Venison most likely was roasted, dried into jerky, or possibly boiled if some of the Pilgrim women got a'hold of a roast. I suspect they whipped up a good fire and employed a spit or some kind of roasting technique. I'll bet it was pretty good.
If you're interested in a couple of great cookbooks for venison recipes – perhaps for Christmas dinner? – give these a try. From all of us at Deer & Deer Hunting and our FW Media Outdoors family, we hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving and have a fine weekend.
Happy Healthy Family– Stacy Harris and her family relish the deer hunting seasons in Alabama, partly because they enjoy hunting with homemade muzzleloaders and also for the fresh venison. They have a big garden, so there's always fresh vegetables for their venison, too. Harris has a fantastic book, "Happy Healthy Family," with easy, delicious recipes you can make at home or at deer camp. They're outstanding, as is the book. BUY IT HERE
The Sporting Chef's Better Venison Cookbook – As I related in this story, I've known Scott Leysath for almost 15 years. Great guy, great chef, great hunter and angler. Loves to cook, but doesn't love doing things that take a lot of time … which is why his recipes in "The Sporting Chef's Better Venison Cookbook" are outstanding. They're easy, taste great and are based on knowledge and experience. BUY IT HERE
Gut It Cut It Cook It – This line in the ShopDeerHunting description says it all: "from pulling the trigger to washing the dishes." Authors and veteran hunters Al Cambronne and Eric Fromm give you tips on processing, preparation, cuts, storage, cooking and more. BUY IT HERE
Try This Recipe?
Well, maybe not. It reportedly is from "The English Housewife" by Gervase Markham, published in 1615. I'm unsure how tasty a near-400-year old recipe might be, but it's fun to see what they thought about cooking venison during the Pilgrim times:
"[A]fter you have washed it, and cleansed all the blood from it, you shall stick it with cloves all over on the outside; and if it be lean you shall lard it either with mutton lard, or pork lard, but mutton is the best: then spit it [put it on a spit that can be hand-rotated over the fire] and roast it by a soaking fire [a slow-roasting fire], then take vinegar, bread crumbs, and some of the gravy which comes from the venison, and boil them well in a dish; then season it with sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt, and serve the venison forth upon the sauce when it is roasted enough."
Hmmm … maybe Eye-talian dressin' drenched over bacon, sliced jalapenos and a bite of venison ain't half bad?

I can't get used to the handling of the XPro. As much as I like the size and RF. even though I loath Leica and think they are over priced, I can make it do what I want.
I completely agree with the sentiment in that in my limited times playing with the Fuji Xpro-1 I have found it very difficult and confusing to use, especially coming from 3 Leica M's your expecting a rangefinder patch and you essentially have no clue where the AF point is when using the optical / hybrid viewfinder (please someone correct me if I am wrong, but I have not noticed anything in my tests) and this is very jarring to me. I do not question it may have some serious image making quality in certain hands but it is certainly not for me. I have yet to come to terms with these crop-sensor cameras although it is mostly because they don't have mirror boxes something which seems to be rapidly disappearing from compact systems. Of course range-finders are not mirror boxes, however a true optical rangefinder is far better to me then any fuji-hybrid, however admirable it may be as an attempt to engage people more in their photography it is lacking any engagement for me, as someone who has used the true gear that hails from. thats my two cents
I agree. I had an X100. I loved it. IQ is on par with the M8, even when shot at ISO 2500. You are absolutely correct that the limitation in the optical RF is that you have no idea where it is really focusing, and the manual focus was pathetic. I couldn't get past that.
.....snip....My problem with LEICA is that the M8 was essentially a beta with major bugs. I used it professionaly a bunch, and frankly the sensor and PCB boards had odd issues. Leica refused to recognize the problems. By the time they told me my M8's issues were normal I had an M9, which was perfect . . . snipSpeaking of DSLR killer, the Sigma Merrils are incredible. Get all three for wide, normal and mild tele for around $3k total!
Hopefully the X100S is an improvement: Improved manual focus system (more responsive focus ring, focus peaking and split-image displays)http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=5195&news=fuji+X100S+X20+CES+2013
BC,I don't have the Merrills. Yet. I need to handle one for a while first. The files have a nice look to them, which keeps me coming back to it. I need to just get one of them and try it out. If its not suitable I can flip it for a small loss.I'm glad I sold my M9 when I did, because it was before the M-E/M announcement. I keep thinking I want another M9, M-E or the M, but the memory of dealing with Leica is still a bit RAW. These are cameras that you keep a long time but the fact is when tehy are out of warranty Leica has crap service. they have crap service when you within the warranty, so mayb it doesn't make a difference.Now the skin from the M8, either under lights or bright difused daylight is, in my opinion, one of the best out there. Really only rivaled by the Aptus 22/75, film, and, yes, the Fuji X100.The Fuji has the best JPEGs I've ever seen. I used the JPEGS as refence when developing Raw files. I also used the JPEGS for editorials, just about straight from the camera.I would buy a Digital Mamiya 7. I still consider it the best camera ever made. As to the DSLRs feeling like iPhones, I sort of agree with you. The 5D and 5D2 certainly felt like toys in many ways, especially after handling an RZ or a 1ds. But the big Nikon and Canons feel real. The D800 feels solid. No complaints, and its light etc. It remind sme of the F100 but with a lower end camera's VF. It doesn't have the soul of a Leica or Rollei 35, or even a Contax T2, but I like the files. They are CMOS like, but can look very CCD when stopped down with the right lenses, like the Zeiss 35F2 and lots of light. And they stretch like an MFDB file.Enough rambling, time for the snow.T
You problem with the Nikon D800 is solved with the attachment of the Nikon MB-D12 Multi Power Battery Pack which I have do with my Nikon D800 and D800E.
Do you see a difference between the regular and E version of the Nikon?How are skin tones and what do you initially process in? I know with my Nikon files they are much better in NIK than Lightroom or Photoshop.
I'll give you a second data point. Of course Simon is the real pro. My favorite skin tones were on the D3x, D800 is second. The best profile was the C1 "linear" profile, the cleanest numbers off the sensor. You could also use the Nikon NX(2) "neutral" profile. [I believe Nik developed this software for Nikon, so they ought to know the Nikon files.] Then roll your own.In a pinch, the "portrait" profile in C1 is better for portraits than the "standard" profile. The standard profile bunches up skin tone transitions. The portrait profile opens them up a bit, and avoids problems with oversaturation /for the most part/. I find that one /absolutely must/ be aware of thermal noise on the Exmor cameras, especially the D800. At ISO6400 and 1/80th (or equiv), noise in the form of a bluish-magenta cast with some local hots spots at the bottom of the frame, is rather noticeable. Live view exacerbates this significantly. With black-frame subtraction, you can get wonderful results out the ISO25k, but I wouldn't want to do it much. This camera needs LENR as a full-time option.

Making the Win9x/ME login more secure(sort off).
This "securing" is lame but I don't think you can make Win9x/Me
login more "secure", heck if you want a secure loginsystem you
just don't use Win9x/Me.
Hope this isn't a piece of crap, as it is my first tutorial and English is not my native language.
-You cannot make the Win9x/ME login system secure, but you can stop ordinary users from bypassing the login system.
-Watch out when editing the registry, you can cause problems that may require to reïnstall your operating system.
If everything is done correctly there shouldn't be any problems.
1. Force users to logon
Normally you can just press "Cancel" when the Logon box appears and access the computer. This registry edit will logout the user if the user clicks cancel.
Bring up the control panel -> users and setup your computer for
multiple users.
While logged in open your registry (Start -> Run -> regedit) expand the
[HKEY_USERS] key, there should be several sub-folders including .DEFAULT and
one named to the username you just created. Expand the .DEFAULT key
-> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run
If this "run" key doesn't exist yet, create it.
Create a new String Value:
Name: NoLogon
Data: "RUNDLL32 shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 0"
You can also achieve the same result by doing this:
Open registry and go to key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon]
Create/modify a (new) DWORD value:
Name: MustBeValidated
Value: 1
Base: hexadecimal
This normally prevents network logon bypassing but it also works for standard Windows Logon.
I use this second method.
2. Making it harder for users to find/delete your password file and thus accessing the computer.
Find the .pwl file (in C:\windows) corresponding with your username([username].pwl) and rename
it to something like ad.exe so nobody will think it's a password file. You may also want
to hide the file(right click it -> Properties -> Hidden).
Open system.ini (it's in C:\windows) and scroll down until you find the line [Password Lists].
Below it you see all the usernames created on your computer.
For example:
Suppose you renamed user1.pwl to ad.exe; just change
User1=user1.pwl to User1=ad.exe
As you noticed a user can still easily find out what the password file is and delete it but this will stop most users from doing so.

Dunnellon will play solid defense and try to run the ball with force this season as it tries to make it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
COACH: Frank Beasley, ninth year, 53-29
RETURNING STARTERS: 3 offense, 6 defense
STAR WATCH: It all starts with senior defensive tackle Keiwan Jones (6-2, 260) who Beasley says has as bright of a future as another pair of recent Division I Dunnellon grads — Terrence Brooks (FSU) and Lerentee McCray (UF). Jones has plenty of D-I offers, including Purdue and Iowa State.
NEW FACES: The Tigers must replace eight starters on offense. Leading the way at quarterback is sophomore Kobie Jones (6-1, 170). Jones takes the reins from the now graduated Jordon Boley. Jones is wise beyond his years, Beasley says, and has picked up the offense well over the summer.
QUOTABLE: "You hear about a fast pace and everybody's trying to speed up the game — Dunnellon is the exact opposite. We're not going to do that. We're going to slow the thing down and keep the game close in the fourth quarter and hopefully our kids are in great shape and conditioned and wear on you. We really try to win the game from the line of scrimmage." — Beasley.
BEST CASE: The defense, which played well at camps over the summer with Keiwan Jones, tackle Keandre Brooks (6-3, 300) and linebacker Cole Fagan (6-1, 215) leading the way, will be a strength as the offense finds its way early as receiver LD Thomas (5-11, 170) and RBs Josh Williams, Rudy Sinflorant and Kane Parks make plays with the ball.
WORST CASE: Kobie Jones and the offense suffer growing pains and the Tigers fail to close the gap on district frontrunners North Marion and Eastside, leading to another non-playoff season.
PREDICTION: Beasley and the Tigers pride themselves on being consistent and with experience and big bodies on defense, they should hold up enough to be in the upper half of the district and playoff picture.

I live in an agricultural community near Monte Vista, Colorado. Monte Vista is snuggled in the beautiful San Luis Valley. The San Luis Valley is a high altitude desert enclosed by the volcanic San Juan Mountains to the west and north and by the glaciated Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east. Some of these mountains are over 14,000 feet in elevation, and our mountains and valley provide some of nature's most amazing views. I plan to attend Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, which is about a half hour north of Little Rock. Hendrix was the most appealing option to me largely because of its impressive science department. Physics, of course, is my intended major. I have always been fascinated by the workings of the universe, and by studying Physics I hope to better understand the laws, which govern it. My goal is to apply my knowledge, skills, and labor to help humankind achieve a clearer understanding of our surroundings on earth and beyond.

Patricia Lopez-Willshaw's Anonymous Saint-Tropez Estate Auction at Christie's
A stunning estate being auctioned anonymously by Christie's in Paris turns out to have quite the outré backstoryPosted December 31, 2011
Designed in 1927 by the amateur architect Paul Rodocanachi (1871–1952)—reportedly an early lover of Arturo Lopez-Willshaw's—this baroque tabletop ornament is composed of chiseled and gilt bronze, colorful enamels, hard stones, onyx, agate, and glass. It was made in 1929 by R. Toulouse and stands 19.5 inches high. Estimate: $19,500–$32,500.
Recalling the shoe illustrations of Andy Warhol, this "poem drawing" is a work by French writer Louise de Vilmorin (1902–69). Pen and ink on paper, it is emblazoned with her personal emblem, a four-leaf clover. Estimate: $1,100–$1,600.
This Louis XV pneumatic pump is an elegant reminder that the 18th century was the age of inventions. It is made of black-lacquered beechwood, with fittings of steel, brass, glass, and gilded bronze. Estimate: $14,000–$20,000.
Acquired by the Lopez-Willshaws in 1935 and long displayed in the Salon Chinois of their Neuilly-sur-Seine residence, this pair of Régence satinwood armoires bears the stamp of Brice Peridiez, who made them around 1720. In the Chinese taste, they are paneled with lacquer scenes of Asian villas and gardens and mounted with ormolu. Estimate: $518,000–$776,000.
Executed by artist Alexandre Serebriakoff in 1951, this watercolor depicts one room of Patricia Lopez-Willshaw's suite, at Hôtel Rodocanachi, a 1903 mansion that she shared with her husband, Arturo Lopez-Willshaw, in the Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. The house is now a cultural center. Estimate: $11,000–$16,000.
A silver fish server, made in 1764 by Copenhagen silversmith Jacob Schouw. Estimate: $2,000–$2,600.
Part of the famous Orloff service made in 1770 for Prince Gregory Orloff, these vermeil plates were later owned by his mistress Catherine the Great. After they were sold by the Soviet government in the 1930s, they surfaced at Sotheby's Monaco in 1976, where they were purchased by Patricia Lopez-Willshaw. Estimate: $39,000–$65,000.
Rock crystal handles ornament this German place setting, which was created in the 17th century, probably in Augsburg. Estimate: $13,000–$19,500.
Measuring 62.5 inches tall when combined with their removable trellises, these six painted-metal openwork vases—two are shown—ornamented the terrace end of the pool at the López-Willshaws's mansion in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Eleven painted wood settees in the manner of Emilio Terry (Lots 418, 419, and 422) joined them there, as did six iron chairs and matching ottomans (Lot 421). Estimate: $8,100–13,000.
The tastemaker behind the opulent interiors of the Lopez-Willshaws' yacht, La Gaviota IV, French interior decorator Georges Geffroy (1903–71) is credited with designing this marbleized wood buffet. It measures 94.5 inches long by 28 inches deep by 34.25 inches high. Estimate: $2,600–$3,900.
Made in the 20th century by an unknown hand—architect Emilio Terry's name has been posited by at least one expert—this three-piece set of painted garden furniture was designed to resemble branches and leaves. Estimate: $1,100–$1,600.
Louis XV's last mistress Jeanne Bécu, the comtesse du Barry, once owned this chaise à châssis, which was made for her by menuisier Louis Delanois in 1769. It is accompanied by an expertly made twin, likely a 20th-century copy. Estimate: $91,000–$130,000.
Coiled serpents form the bases of these six patinated-bronze tripod stands made in the antique style. Estimate: $6,700–$11,000.
Created in the 1950s and upholstered with a glass-beaded fabric, this pair of Louis XVI-style chairs is part of a large set made for the Lopez-Willshaws' shellwork ballroom in Neuilly-sur-Seine. The design replicates the shell-and-cattail-theme chairs made in 1779-1780 for the princesse de Lamballe's shell cottage at Château de Rambouillet. Estimate: $19,000–$32,000.
Straddled by a gentleman watching a card game or other entertainment, this 19th-century gilt-wood voyeuse in the Louis XVI style is a near-replica of a 1768 Flamande chair by architect Jean-Charles Delafosse. It once stood before the fireplace of the Salon Bleu of the Lopez-Willshaws' house in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Estimate: $9,100–$13,000.

Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund builds on anti-Pombo election strategy
Little girl: This is my congressman, Steve Pearce. (points to man with head stuck into the ground) He cares so much about my future he's going to get his head out of the sand and help stop global warming.
Pearce: (pulls his head out with a "thwok" sound) No, I'm not. Little girl, we don't need to do anything about global warming.
Little girl: Then why are you melting?
Pearce: I'm not melting. I feel fantastic. It's not hot.
Little girl: (as the sea begins to engulf them) That's because the sea level is rising around us.
Pearce: No, it's not. Prove it. Stop being hysterical. The rising sea stuff, that's a theory. Like the theory of gravity.
Little girl: You don't believe in gravity?
Pearce: Is all the evidence in? I don't think so.
This 60-second animation was the first salvo fired by the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund in its battle against New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce and five other Republican lawmakers, over their support for carbon-intensive fossil fuel industries. Typical of the Action Fund's aggressive strategy, the ad pulls no punches. And Pearce is still in the Fund's sights: It is now running "Flip of the coin" ads portraying Pearce and fellow Republican Rep. Heather Wilson as anti-environment big-oil supporters -- heads and tails of the same bad penny. Both are vying for the chance to run against Democrat Tom Udall for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Pete Domenici this fall. "We've found over the past seven years that science, law and policy analysis are not enough -- we have to change the decision-makers. So we're focusing on members of committees that matter," says Fund director Rodger Schlickeisen, who hopes to tip the balance in Congress toward "a significant piece of legislation that redirects our energy policy away from fossil fuels."
The Fund used similar tactics two years ago, when it led an attack against the "unbeatable" seven-term California Congressman Richard Pombo, pro-energy chair of the House Resources Committee, who was notorious for wanting to privatize national parks, drill the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and gut the Endangered Species Act. Despite an eleventh-hour injection of more than a million dollars into the campaign and appearances on his behalf by Vice President Cheney and President Bush, Pombo lost by more than 13,000 votes to wind-energy consultant Jerry McNerney.
Environmentalists had a new ally in Congress -- and the Action Fund had won its first David-and-Goliath victory.
The Fund's campaigns are characterized by an early entry into the races, a small core staff, and engagement on all fronts: research and polling to uncover candidate weaknesses; voter targeting through door-to-door canvassing, phone calls and mail; grassroots organizing with members; and TV, radio and Internet ads. Targeting vulnerable members of key environmental committees is "the unique element" of the Fund's strategy, says Bob Duffy, author of The Green Agenda in American Politics: New Strategies for the 21st Century.
In the past, says Duffy, the Action Fund and other enviro groups diluted their potency by not working together. But since 2006, the Action Fund -- the political arm of the 60-year-old nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife -- has been collaborating with the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, the Clean Water Action Fund and Environment America in integrated, sophisticated campaigns that increased the groups' collective clout. In the Pombo campaign, for example, the Fund's field director and four staffers worked with the other conservation groups to recruit 300 volunteers, who ran a phone bank and knocked on 75,000 doors to ensure voter participation.
Not everyone is enthusiastic about the Fund's tactics. Starting the campaign early -- in the case of Pearce and Wilson, during the primary race -- is a questionable strategy, says Lonna Atkeson, a political science professor at the University of New Mexico. "They're playing to an electorate that isn't paying attention," she says.
But Schlickeisen believes that getting out "before the media clutter and clatter, when people are still listening" is the best way to "define the candidates."
Schlickeisen views the campaign "through two lenses: We're always concerned about the committees, and we know that no matter how good the legislation is in the House, the Senate can't get past the 60-vote filibuster. We have to be able to pass that threshold."
Electing pro-conservation folks to Congress could swing the vote toward cap-and-trade legislation and renewable energy initiatives, agrees Tony Massaro, political director for the League of Conservation Voters. The League was able to help defeat nine of 13 legislators with abysmal conservation records in 2006, he notes, "and for the first time in 32 years, Congress passed new fuel-economy standards."
This election cycle, the Fund and its allies are also taking aim at Colorado's Bob Schaffer, the likely Republican candidate against Democrat Mark Udall for the Senate seat now held by Wayne Allard, R; and first-term New Hampshire Republican Sen. John Sununu, who will run against former Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen for the Senate.
The Fund spent about $2.5 million in the 2006 election cycle, $1.5 million on the Pombo race alone. Schlickeisen predicts the Fund will receive about $3 million this year, from 30,000 individual donors. Because it accepts no funding from corporations or labor organizations, the Fund is able to use its money to directly oppose and support ballot initiatives. (In 2006, five of six takings initiatives were defeated in the West, partly because of the Fund's efforts.)
"There are 435 congressional races every two years, and 33 Senate races," says Schlickeisen. "We don't lower our head and run at the wall. We choose a handful of key races we think we can win."

For Faculty & Staff
Research: Expanding the boundaries of science and technology
Few colleges can match the depth and breadth of Purdue Engineering's research capabilities and talent. We are focused on 21st century impact — leading the way in reshaping the research universe through discovery and innovation.
21st century global impact
- Purdue Engineering research has global significance both in its direct impact and in expanding collaborations and exchange programs. Professor Ahmed Hassanein, the Paul L. Wattelet Distinguished Professor and Head of Nuclear Engineering, is internationally recognized for his modeling and experimental research in response of materials to intense radiation, particularly under harsh environments. His US team and international colleagues lead an NSF PIRE project that focuses characterizing materials behavior under extreme conditions and development of revolutionary super-resistant materials to operate in these environments. It is the first such NSF funded international research and education project awarded to Purdue. The project is headquartered at Purdue's Center for Materials under Extreme Environment (CMUXE). The international team consists of major universities and research institutions in Germany, Ireland, Japan, and Russia. Purdue CMUXE graduate and undergraduate students frequently conduct research in these countries using state-of-the-art facilities. Several graduate and undergraduate students have won multiple national and international awards as a result of their research under this NSF PIRE project.
- Carol Handwerker, the Reinhardt Schuhmann Jr. Professor of Materials Engineering, and John Sutherland, the Fehsenfeld Family Head of Environmental and Ecological Engineering, are part of a national research hub focused on developing solutions to the shortages of rare earth metals and other materials critical for U.S. energy security. She is also PI for an NSF IGERT grant that is developing a new integrative model for graduate research and education to enable meaningful and measurable improvements in the global sustainability of electronic products.
- Our faculty are also developing future engineering leaders. John H. Lumkes Jr., associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering, received the Global Engineering Impact Award for his work in helping Purdue Engineering students become future global problem solvers. Lumkes leads a global design team of students who recently developed a low-cost utility vehicle using local materials to support developing African nations.
- The Colombia Purdue Institute (CPI) is a visible manifestation of our commitment to global research with impact. The Institute's mission is to cultivate leaders who will drive economic prosperity through innovation in science, technology, policy and education. Purdue Engineering faculty partner with researchers across the University to collaborate with faculty at Colombian universities on a range of projects including catalysis, sustainability and engineering to mitigate the impact of natural disasters.
Purdue Engineering is growing — and seeks to change the world through this expansion. Our growth will enable groundbreaking discoveries and innovations.
Overview of our research
Solving complex, integrated problems is a current thrust in the CoE. Working with our Preeminent Teams and industry partners, we are leveraging our strengths to create interdisciplinary collaborations that address these challenges:
- Partnering with industry and campus teams to deliver inventions to the market

Oregon Legislative Tie
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The legislative tie that fostered a relatively collegial and bipartisan spirit in Salem for the past two years is coming to an end. Democrats will retake firm control of Oregon's state government today. In the state House, an even split between Republicans and Democrats forced the parties to resolve every issue with a bipartisan agreement. The 77th Legislature will convene for the first time with a more liberal House and a more conservative Senate. Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber also will deliver his annual state of the state address to a joint session of the House and Senate.

A nice group gathered last night at Cafe Meze in Hartsdale to share some wine, eat some good food, and talk about some future plans. Cafe Meze put together a nice tasting menu, with small plates of mushrooms, calamari with truffle oil, veal short ribs, beef short ribs, lemon risotto, and more.
1999 Ramonet "Les Caillerets" Chassagne-Montrachet 1er CruThis was really lovely, complex and long. Mineral and citrus, a little butterscotch as it warmed. Bright and lively. A-
1996 Peter Michael "Mon Plaisir" Chardonnay
Others seemed to have a strong preference for the Ramonet, I preferred it also, but only by a little. This is really a nice example of California Chardonnay in my opinion. Fully mature, with almost Champagne-like yeasty note on the nose. Some flint and butter notes over a nice base of pear fruit. B+/A-
1979 Drouhin Chambertin-Clos de Beze
Bottle looked almost like a rose, and I had my worries (brought a bottle of Volnay as back up). John assured me we wouldn't need the backup (he said Drouhin did especially well in '79), and he was right. Seemed light as it was poured, but quickly put on weight (and color). Nose of strawberries and damp earth, more of a cherry note on the palate. Layers of mushroom, leaves, dirt, and flowers. Led to a discussion of the term sois bois. Held up nicely for an hour or more, but when I revisited last couple sips as cheese came it had fallen apart. A much better showing than I expected. I have one more that I picked up at a clearance sale, I kick myself for tipping off Drouhin-loving friends rather than just grabbing for me. A
1993 Damoy Chambertin-Clos de Beze
A big contrast. Young, dark, and vigorous, I would have guessed maybe a more acidic than normal 1999 blind. I don't know this producer, Mark assures me that only the 1993s are really interesting. A home run in this vintage, though. Big black cherry fruit, some coffee and spice. A little tannic, but with meat it's quite nice. Needs time. For now B+, consensus is that it will improve.
2003 Saxum Broken Stones Syrah
This is just not a style that I especially enjoy. Huge dark berry fruit, layers of new oak and smoke, develops cola notes with time. I appreciate it's well made, but the sweetness and pounding tannins don't appeal to me (but I am glad to taste it ). However, it worked very well as a Port-substitute with some blue cheese. With the cheese a B+, otherwise for me a C/C+ (though I'm sure with the right food I might like better)
1995 Phelps ???
I didn't actually see bottle of this, it was in decanter, but I understand this was an auction bottling, a blend of 70% Napa Syrah & 30% Insignia blend. An oddity, but a rather appealing one. Good match for the meat. I didn't think it especially Syrah-ish, I would have assumed Bdx blend. Oak is present but fairly integrated, there's good cassis fruit. A little low-acid for me, but otherwise a fine wine, and a fun one to taste. B/B+
2001 de Fargues
Big, sweet, young. Tropical fruit and creme brulee. Obviously too young, but tasty. A-/B+
Very nice evening with exellent people, food, and wine.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

By Alan Clemons
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Turkeys are taking the spotlight at the National Wild Turkey Federation convention here this weekend, but deer aren't being ignored.
The annual national convention attracts thousands of hunters and conservationists. Mossberg is sponsoring the annual taxidermy contest for the turkey and whitetail mounts. Several dozen mounts in each category are posted for viewing in the Gaylord Opryland Hotel convention center lobby. Visitors are getting a glimpse at some of the best taxidermy in the nation.
The mounts don't have identification, so there's no way to see which artist did what work. The turkey mounts are great, but a few of the whitetail mounts are simply outstanding. One is a shoulder mount of a whitetail eating an ear of corn, but with no obvious support system for the deer's head. It looks like it's free-floating … but obviously the corn stalk has a post support of some type. The pedestal base of dirt also includes tracks and looks really cool.
Another full mount has a great buck walking along a fence with such intricate detail and realism it looks like something out of a nearby pasture. Sagebrush, a row of nibbled soybeans (with the bean pods!), twigs, dirt, tracks, a wire fence and post … and an outstanding buck any hunter would be thrilled to see or pursue.
Taxidermy awards will be announced Saturday morning. Check back next week for updates on the winners.

staciafuchsia wrote:thanks for this thread! Here's a question I wrote in my introduction thread a bit further down the page --
I've seen some mention on these boards of a "plan of action" as a way of confirming lucidity and maintaining it... i.e. if you're doing something you thought of while awake, you're definitely lucid, and as long as you're doing that thing you'll probably stay lucid. Right? How do you decide on an appropriate plan of action? And-- what do you do if you discover you can't enact it in your dream? I mean, I can do a lot more in my lucid dreams than I can when I'm awake, but I do feel my ideas of "reality" resisting my attempts to change things. For example, I can fly in my dreams, but in one of these lucid dreams, I tried to fly with my boyfriend on my back and was reduced to taking big hops instead because he was so heavy. Any advice on getting over these sorts of realism humps?
The whole "plan of action" thing is something that is used to just make the idea of lucid dreaming more of a concrete subject in your subconscious. It doesn't really matter what the plan of action is, just as long as you have one. As your the battle with your mind while you are experiencing lucid dreaming, this is a common problem people face (including me). The best thing I can tell you is it will come with time. Your conscious mind already has a preset idea of how things should be. It knows you can't fly in real life, so when you try to fly in a dream, it is going to get confused and try to keep you grounded because that is what it knows. Really, the only way to combat this depends on you. Just keep reminding yourself that this is YOUR dream inside of YOUR mind. You just have to really believe you can fly. Don't get discouraged after the first couple times. The more you practice, the better not only your flying will get, but your dream control also. So practice, practice, practice!!!

Dutch Profiles: Atelier Van Lieshout
Image rights: Atelier Van Lieshout
Atelier van Lieshout, the celebrated art, design, and architecture studio founded by Joep van Lieshout, combines idealism and grit to produce sculptures, installations, furnishings, architectural spaces, and plans for the future of humanity. Functional or fantastical, their work is shaped by a belief in self-sufficiency, distrust of politics and power, and the universal paradigms of life and death. They approach each project as a Gesamtkunstwerk—a total work of art formed from a synthesis of methods, materials, and disciplines. Their best-known Gesamtkunstwerk is AVL-Ville (2001-02), an autarkic, utopian "free state" with its own constitution, which floated in Rotterdam's port for one year. In all of its projects, Atelier van Lieshout aims to reveal where we are now—trapped in a sanitized, consumerist world—and where we should be—re-connected to farming, industry, and the ongoing cycle of production and consumption.
Dutch, Established 1995, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands

Gold bullion prices hovered below $1,650 per ounce Monday morning in London – well within their range of the past four weeks – as European stocks edged higher while commodity prices fell.
The euro meantime sank to a two-month low against the dollar, as investors turned their attention to rising Spanish government borrowing costs.
On China's Shanghai Gold Exchange, contracts equivalent to around 7.3 tonnes of gold bullion changed hands in Monday's trading.
"Current levels are by no means excessively weak," says a note from investment bank UBS, "but the fact that average daily turnover sits at just about half of the 18 tonne all-time high seen last year is in itself confirmation that there is less gold fever in China this year versus last."
Authorities in Beijing meantime have widened the yuan's trading band against the dollar from a 0.5% maximum daily move to 1%.
Silver bullion fells to $31.22 per ounce – close to four month lows – before recovering some ground in Monday morning's London trading.
"The key downside risks for silver," says a note from Morgan Stanley, "are that the weaker economic outlook in 2012 and 2013 will cut fabrication demand, but not enough to take prices back to levels that would deter anticipated strong mine production growth and a rising surplus."
Sovereign debt stresses in the euro zone are expected to dominate this week's International Monetary Fund meeting, where European officials are expected to ask the IMF to expand its lending capacity to combat a fresh potential crisis, newswire Bloomberg reports.
At February's G20 meeting, European leaders were told Europe needed to do more before non-European nations would consider a bigger IMF contribution. There has since been agreement to increase the size of the Eurozone's 'firewall' to €800 billion, although only €500 billion will be available for fresh rescue programs.
"I think Europe has done its part," European Central Bank board member Joerg Asmussen told the Wall Street Journal over the weekend.
"Now you would expect other IMF shareholders to come forward and make their contributions to increasing IMF resources."
Benchmark yields on 10-Year Spanish government bonds rose above 6% Monday morning – a level breached last week for the first time since December.

Ahhh, it's that time of year. You know the one where a line of popular bourbon and American Whiskeys release, thus setting off a consumer frenzy that wine and spirit stores dread across the country. Pappy Van Winkle and the Old Rip Van Winkle whiskeys just hit store shelves in recent weeks, so it's time to take a look at them.
Originally I had planned a little comparison between the 15 year and 20 year old. However, the recent news that the 2011 15 year old is now 100% Buffalo Trace bourbon, prompted me to rethink that comparison. As evidenced by the myriad of comments and emails I've received, it's pretty clear that the Pappy 15 requires a thorough examination and comparison with the old. I also want to give my $.02 on the craziness over Stitzel-Weller juice.
In the meantime, how about we take a look at one of the other flagship whiskeys in the lineup, the 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle.
Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year Bourbon, 45.2% abv (90.4 Proof) $110.00
Color: Medium Amber
Nose: Demerara Sugar, Maple Syrup, and Old Cedar Box right off the top. Candied Dates, Big Vanilla, soft spices (CLOVE and Nutmeg), and Old Leather in the background. Very elegant for 20 years in new oak.
Palate: Velvety textured and again so elegant. I'd even say very well balanced for a 20 year old bourbon. The sip is redolent with oak and warm warm spices, but it's never too much. It's gorgeous actually. Sweet and fruity flavors evolve with spiced maple syrup, bitter orange, cinnamon stick, and honey.
Finish: The finish is also honeyed and warm with a touch of barrel. A surprising baked cinnamon apple fruitiness emerges as well. Didn't anticipate that!
Overall: This is brilliant whiskey. The 20 year old is much less brutish and weighty in comparison to the 15. That does make it a bit less challenging, and as a result less interesting, but it's so easy drinking. It's also a testament to just how well wheated bourbons can handle the age and wood.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.4 (Superb/Outstanding)

Marvel will publish new "Star Wars" comic books beginning in 2015, the company announced Friday.
The agreement between Lucasfilm and Marvel, both owned by the Walt Disney Co., kicks off the same year Disney will release a new "Star Wars" film, J. J. Abrams' highly anticipated "Episode VII."
"The perennial brand of 'Star Wars' is one of the most iconic in entertainment history," said Marvel Worldwide's publisher and President Dan Buckley in a news release. "We are honored to have the opportunity to bring our creative talent pool to continue, and expand 'Star Wars' into galaxies far, far away."
The deal marks the franchise's homecoming after more than 20 years away from Marvel, which published the first "Star Wars" comics beginning in 1977 with the official movie adaptation by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, followed by some off-kilter stories that introduced some eccentric characters to the Star Wars universe (see green space rabbit Jaxxon).
"Star Wars" comics explored more of the galaxy at Dark Horse Comics, which took over the license in 1991 and succeeded in making "Star Wars" series and graphic novels one of its flagship titles, beginning with Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's "Dark Empire."
"After a history of movie properties being poorly handled with little regard for execution and continuity, Dark Horse took a new approach, carefully choosing licenses and approaching them with excitement and creative energy," said Dark Horse founder and publisher Mike Richardson. "Our goal was to create sequels and prequels to the films we loved, paying careful attention to quality and detail, essentially treating those films as though they were our own. 'Star Wars' has been the crown jewel of this approach."
Recently, Dark Horse got a boost from the acclaimed Brian Wood-written "Star Wars" series, set between the events of "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back." And the company's "The Star Wars," an adaptation of creator George Lucas' early screenplay, also garnered attention.
Marvel and Disney are quick to praise Dark Horse's handling of the brand.
"Dark Horse Comics published exceptional Star Wars comics for over 20 years, and we will always be grateful for their enormous contributions to the mythos, and the terrific partnership that we had," said Carol Roeder, director of Lucasfilm franchise publishing.
Dark Horse is looking to new projects for 2015, but Richardson said the "Star Wars" stories at Dark Horse won't languish in the meantime.
"I'm not ashamed to admit that we were 'Star Wars' geeks, and we have been determined to spare neither effort nor expense in the pursuit of excellence," Richardson said. "2014 may be our last year at the helm of the 'Star Wars' comics franchise, but we plan to make it a memorable one. We know that fans of the franchise will expect no less. The Force is with us still."
