You can't get more serious about protecting the people from their government than the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, specifically in its most critical clause: "No person shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." In 2011, the White House ordered the drone-killing of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki without trial. It claimed this was a legal act it is prepared to repeat as necessary. Given the Fifth Amendment, how exactly was this justified? Thanks to a much contested, recently released but significantly redacted—about one-third of the text is missing—Justice Department white paper providing the basis for that extrajudicial killing, we finally know: the president in Post-Constitutional America is now officially judge, jury and executioner.
Due Process in Constitutional America
Looking back on the violations of justice that characterized British rule in pre-Constitutional America, it is easy to see the founders' intent in creating the Fifth Amendment. A government's ability to inflict harm on its people, whether by taking their lives, imprisoning them or confiscating their property, was to be checked by due process.
Due process is the only requirement of government that is stated twice in the Constitution, signaling its importance. The Fifth Amendment imposed the due process requirement on the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment did the same for the states. Both offer a crucial promise to the people that fair procedures will remain available to challenge government actions. The broader concept of due process goes all the way back to the thirteenth-century Magna Carta.
Due process, as refined over the years by the Supreme Court, came to take two forms in Constitutional America. The first was procedural due process: people threatened by government actions that might potentially take away life, liberty or possessions would have the right to defend themselves from a power that sought, whether for good reasons or bad, to deprive them of something important. American citizens were guaranteed their proverbial "day in court."

Jools Watsham's Developer Diary: Some Publisher Action!
In other news, we sent the Red proposal off to the publisher only to find out that due to GDC being next week we won't be hearing or doing anything about that until the week after next - great timing! I wouldn't be surprised if progress on Spirit and Face is slowed down due to GDC too. Argh!
I haven't heard anything back on Puzzle. So, that could mean the publisher is too busy to review and respond or they just aren't that into it. Time will tell.
Our development progress on Spirit is going great. The foundation for the AI is coming along very well. I've been adjusting parameters for the player controls and had some encouraging results. What we have going is already leagues above similar titles on the DS. Sure, that probably sounds arrogant, but I'm just telling the truth and echoing what others who have played the game have said. I'm not sure if other developers just don't try as hard as we do or if they don't have the experience we do. Oh well, it makes us look better anyway. :) Now, before anyone goes crazy and thinks that's an attack on all DS developers, it's not. This perspective is relative only to the genre we're working on with Spirit. Other developers, such as Wayforward, do an outstanding job with their games. Contra 4 is amazing (a little too difficult for my liking), and I'm really looking forward to Shantae.
We have one other publisher we're in talks with about some future DSiWare action. Their focus is purely on digital distribution. So, that's exciting too.
Lot's of potential stuff going on. Let's hope I have some concrete news next week.
Hope you're having a great day. TTYL.

So what happens if two different publishers offer you a contract tomorrow for two different games?ReplyDelete
Do you have to turn one of the publishers down and focus everything on one of the games?
We might focus on just one game, or we might develop more than one. It depends on a lot of things. We'll see...ReplyDelete
Good Luck with that anyway, Jools ;)ReplyDelete
Way to go jools! Good luck to you man,cant wait to see (and play)what you guys cooking up!When can we get some info on your current projects?ReplyDelete
Excuse me...(what you guys ARE cooking up)...sorry man, I just worked 16hrs.ReplyDelete
It is hard to say when we'll be able to release some information on any of our games. From Spirit and Face, it will depend on what PR plans the publisher has. Both games are set to be released late 2010/early 2011.ReplyDelete
Oh, ok, I got it...well lets hope your publisher will give you and your fans a more promotional heads up this time....unlike what happened with MOON. That was a shame, I didnt know that game was being released untill a week or two before hand. I sincerely hope this publisher does you justice this time bro...good luck.ReplyDelete
Thanks man, much appreciated. Yes, Moon was a disaster in terms of marketing.ReplyDelete
Speaking of Moon, have you seen the movie called Moon, came out last year? Its very different from the game, but I felt there were some similarities. It is a thinking mans sci-fi movie, no lasers or lightsabers or weird little aliens that speak backwards. I do recommend it (and Sunshine too!).ReplyDelete
Yes, I have seen the movie Moon. I like it a lot. By Sunshine, do you mean Mario Sunshine or the large ball of fire in the sky? Either way, I enjoy both of them. :)ReplyDelete
Sunshine, the Danny Boyle movie, with Cillian Murphy and the very lovely Rose Byrne. Its one of my favorite movies and even though it is nothing like the game Moon, it still reminds me a lot of it.ReplyDelete
Sorry for the double post, but you didn't do a DSiWare update. I recommend Dracula - Undead Rising.ReplyDelete
If you played the Gamecube game, Star Wars Rebel Strike, Dracula plays a lot like the Rebel Endurance stage; just swarms and swarms of undead coming at you and you just rip into them with your guns.
It isn't as easy as it sounds and its pretty fun, espeically for only 500 points.

The party stood around the trap door in the tower barracks, contemplating their next move. Valen and Gabriel interrogated the prisoner – a scrawny, underfed human who quickly gave up all he knew. The party learned that:
1) The guards changed posts only once every 7 or 8 days, and this guard platoon had been in the tower for only a day
2) The guards were swapped-out (along with provisions) over land, through the front door. They used to use the tunnel, but can't anymore since the tunnel collapsed.
3) The temple was comprised of five separate churches (fire, water, earth and air – who did not get along well and squabbled and fought for position – and a neutral "temple" faction, who worshipped "the Lady" but took no part in the squabbles of the other churches).
They gagged the guard again and talked over what they'd learned. Given that the guards weren't due for a change for 6 or 7 more days, it might be possible they could rest and make an assault on the Temple from the tower here. The talk of the collapsed tunnel unnerved them, though. If the tunnel he was talking about was through that trapdoor, Captain Samton may not have escaped at all, but may simply be lurking in the collapsed tunnel below. No one could agree on whether that was better or worse. Finally, given Shecky's state and their general lack of all spells and other firepower (save swords), they decided to use the rest of their healing ability, set double watch and rest. Gabriel and Schlomo took first watch.
Less than two hours into the first watch, Gabriel heard a soft scraping from below the trapdoor. Upon listening, it sounded like someone shovelling dirt. He woke the party, who decided that, since it was only one man, it couldn't hurt to investigate. They opened the trap door and stared down into the darkness. No sound came from below. They dropped a torch into the hole. It landed 30 feet below and stayed lit, illuminating a portion of a dirt-floored room. Ark decided to head down the ladder first, stealthily. After clearing the first ten feet, the ladder separated from the wall (it's moorings having been dug out), and, as Ark began to fall, the trap door (which had been rigged with a close-rope no one noticed) was pulled shut. Above, Gabriel and Schlomo saw Ark land on the ground, mostly rolling to avoid injury, just as the trapdoor slammed closed. Immediately, Gabriel and Schlomo were joined by Valen, who began pulling on the trapdoor, which had been somehow fastened shut.
Below, Ark heard a scraping sound of rope on metal, and then a sharp intake of air. He turned just as Capt. Samton emerged from the shadows, moving with uncanny speed, and swinging a huge dark blade which shimmered and seemed almost to disappear in the shadows. The blade gouged into Ark's side, causing massive damage, and rendering Ark immediately unconscious.
Above, Valen, Gabriela and Schlomo succeeded together in wrenching the trapdoor open, just in time to see Ark's legs as his limp body was dragged out of sight through a pool of blood, and the torch they'd thrown down was extinguished. With the ladder dislodged there was no easy way down into the dark. Valen began anchoring a rope to lower himself down. Garbriel, instead, simply lept into the hole, rolling as best he could with the damage as he crashed, prone, onto the ground. Shecky, looking to add light into the hole and distract the assailant, cast a light spell upon their prisoner's belt, and Schlomo threw him into the hole as well. The terrified guard's back snapped as he landed on Gabriel, but he lit the room brightly.
Captain Samton shot out of the shadows again and jammed his wicked black blade between Gabriel's shoulders as Gabe struggled to regain his feet, again causing massive damage, which he barely survived. He rose to face off against Samton. As Valen lowered himself carefully into the pit (followed by Shecky), Schlomo climbed down the ladder to where it broke and flung himself at Samton. Between them, they managed to kill Samton, who appeared to have been jacked-up on a speed potion. Schlomo took Samton's dark-hued bastard sword (which whispered it's name to him – "biter"), and Gabriel took Schlomo's old +1 longsword. Other items were found on the captain's body, including a Mithril Shirt, which Valen claimed.
When the battle was over, the party found that Ark was not merely unconscious, but completely dead. After a brief debate, they gathered Ark's body and rushed back to Nulb, in hopes that Y'dey could resurrect him. They reached Nulb and found that Y'dey was willing to do so, for the greater part of their wealth, and only if they agreed to be geased into a quest to defeat the evil elements brewing at the temple or die trying. The party agreed, and after a long night of prayer and magic, Ark was revived, though there appear to be a handful of side-effects of the resurrection.
The party returned to the temple grounds to find the tower much as they'd left it (they'd been gone about 24 hours). With 5 days left before the guards were to be changed, they excavated the collapsed tunnel under Blars' direction, creating a passage through the rubble which led to a long tunnel. They followed it, and at the end emerged into a complex of tunnels below the Temple. Valen, Ulo, Ark and Shecky scouted ahead in the tunnels until they heard the cries of someone being tortured. At Gabriel's insistence, they followed the screams to a torture chamber, where a human and a bugbear were torturing a human prisoner on a rack, with two human females and two orc prisoners awaiting the same fate in separate cells. When diplomacy failed, the party attacked, making swift work of the torturers. However, the battle was not over. As Gabriel worked to free the prisoner from the rack, and Schlomo freed and subsequently hit-on the captured females (who returned his affection with grateful kisses), Blars rushed to the orc cage, broke the lock with his mace and, despite their being unarmored, attacked them! Despite Valen and Shecky's attampts to hold him back, he killed one prisoner in cold blood. Gabriel and Schlomo stepped into the fray. Ultimately, Blars was calmed only after Gabriel punched him repeatedly in the face. The orc was calmed as well, and agreed to escort the humans out of the dungeon, but before he left, he vowed revenge on Blars for the murder of his brother. Ark watched them all escape into the maze of tunnels, while Gabriel berated Blars, Shecky looted the bodies, Valen fed Ulo from the corpses and Schlomo regaled the group with stories of his (moments before) sexual conquests. The party decided they should don the cloaks they'd taken from the Moathouse – black, emblazoned with a fiery elemental eye. The cloaks, having been kept in the Box of Holding, smelled faintly, unpleasantly of meat.
The party then struck out again into the maze, stumbling upon a group of prison cells. Most were unoccupied, but in one they found and rescued an outgoing, charismatic gnomish adventurer called Wonnilon, who offered to join the party. Ark armed him with his short sword +1 (for which Wonnilon was very grateful), and they continued their exploration.
The party then came upon a room where they heard bugbear voices. Ark motioned for the party to wait while he entered. Through sheer force of personality and clever revealing of his scarred features (and the stupidity of the bugbear guards), he silently convinced the bugbears he was the new assistant to the torturer/head jailer. He passed through the chamber and into the jailer's private quarters unmolested. Inside, he found a secret door (which allowed him to let the rest of the party in), as well as a stash of the jailer's possessions, including Wonnilon's lost adventuring gear.
Inside the jailer's quarters, the party paused. They had some time until the slaughtered tower guards would be found, and perhaps less time until the killed jailer and his assistant were recovered. What to do next?
Time remaining until the scheduled changing of the tower guards: 5 days, 16 hours

LONDON (AP) — Thieves have stolen a valuable bronze sculpture by Henry Moore from an open-air park in Scotland.
"Standing Figure," created in 1950, was one of four Moore works in Glenkiln Sculpture Park, near Shawhead.
Police said Sunday that the piece has a "high value" and are appealing for information from the public.
Moore, who died in 1986, was one of Britain's best-known 20th-century artists and thieves have targeted his works over the years.
Two men were jailed in 2012 for stealing "The Sundail," a sculpture worth up to 500,000 pounds ($797,850), from the grounds of the Henry Moore Foundation in eastern England.
In 2010, his painting "Three Reclining Figures On Pedestals" was stolen from a gallery in Worcestershire, England.

On the detection of Lorentzian profiles in a power spectrum: a Bayesian approach using ignorance priors
Institute for Astronomy (IfA), University of Vienna, Türkenschanzstrasse 17, 1180 Vienna, Austria e-mail: last firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Department of Astronomy and Physics, Saint Marys University, Halifax, NS B3H 3C3, Canada e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 11 August 2009
Aims. Deriving accurate frequencies, amplitudes, and mode lifetimes from stochastically driven pulsation is challenging, more so, if one demands that realistic error estimates be given for all model fitting parameters. As has been shown by other authors, the traditional method of fitting Lorentzian profiles to the power spectrum of time-resolved photometric or spectroscopic data via the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) procedure delivers good approximations for these quantities. We, however, show that a conservative Bayesian approach allows one to treat the detection of modes with minimal assumptions (i.e., about the existence and identity of the modes).
Methods. We derive a conservative Bayesian treatment for the probability of Lorentzian profiles being present in a power spectrum and describe an efficient implementation that evaluates the probability density distribution of parameters by using a Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique.
Results. Potentially superior to "best-fit" procedure like MLE, which only provides formal uncertainties, our method samples and approximates the actual probability distributions for all parameters involved. Moreover, it avoids shortcomings that make the MLE treatment susceptible to the built-in assumptions of a model that is fitted to the data. This is especially relevant when analyzing solar-type pulsation in stars other than the Sun where the observations are of lower quality and can be over-interpreted. As an example, we apply our technique to CoRoT (COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits space mission, launched on 2006 December 27, was developed and is operated by the CNES, with participation of the Science Programs of ESA, ESAs RSSD, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany and Spain.) observations of the solar-type pulsator HD 49933.

Almost two months into the Windows 8 life cycle and a trend is starting to emerge: Sales of new PCs based on Windows 8 continue to lag behind those of Windows 7 PCs from the same period last year. But NPD claims a new culprit in this shortfall: Low-cost netbooks did "incalculable" damage to the PC industry and destroyed the high-end mobile market that Windows 8 now targets.
A report in "The New York Times" includes a suspicious amount of anecdotal information to make its point about the Windows 8 sales problems. But it at least provides a valuable first-hand quote from Acer president Emmanuel Fromont, who admits that sales of Windows 8 PCs were "off to a slow start" and "lower than expected." It also cites NPD data that examines the period from the Windows 8 launch to beyond Black Friday.
I had previously and exclusively reported that launch-time and first-month sales of Windows 8 were both about 20 percent lower than Microsoft's expectations. Microsoft internally blamed PC makers for the shortfall, since they did not show up with the variety or volume of new Windows 8-based PCs and devices that were promised in time for the launch. I also separately reported, again exclusively, that Microsoft would ramp up efforts to sell the Surface with Windows RT tablet via third party retailers ahead of the New Year, which of course began happening less than two weeks ago.
But now we have NPD weighing in on Black Friday and holiday sales.
The New York Times quotes NPD data showing Windows 8 PC sales were down 13 percent over the 6 week period between the Windows 8 launch and the post-Black Friday week. This is compared to the previous year, however, not the same period of time when Windows 7 launched.
NPD says that Windows 8 is launching into a market that is decidedly different than that faced by Windows XP, Vista, or 7, because PCs are no longer at the center of personal computing, and consumers are stretching out PC purchases longer than before. This seems fairly obvious, but the push for low-cost computing devices, which began with the netbook and now continues with tablets, has muted the demand for high-end PCs. And while there are lots of low-cost PCs for sale this season, they lack multi-touch and are hardly compelling; the multi-touch PCs that make Windows 8 shine are far more expensive.
It doesn't help that tablets based on Windows 8 (and Windows RT, the ARM-based version of Windows 8) start at about $500 and quickly escalate in price. This holiday season, the best-selling tablets—the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Google Nexus 7, and Amazon Kindle Fire HD—all start at $200, less than half the cost of a cut-rate Windows 8 tablet. This price point, which Microsoft helped establish with the netbook, is contributing to the lack of consumer interest in Windows 8 devices and PCs. And the average selling price of PCs continues to fall, to below $400, a price point where almost all of the PCs consumers are buying are non-touch-based.
This splitting of the market has interesting ramifications. Microsoft should be credited for moving Windows quickly into the world of multi-touch tablets with Windows 8. But because consumers are now trained to expect low-cost devices, they are purchasing low-cost multi-touch tablets that don't run Windows and low-cost Windows PCs which don't offer multi-touch capabilities. And as of the end of 2012, tablet sales, overall, have eclipsed sales of notebook PCs in the US. This is a big change from a year ago.
None of this means that Windows 8 is a disaster, as some claim. Instead, it's fair to say that Windows 8 is entering a much more volatile market than did its predecessors and that a lack of high-quality, low-cost options—indeed, largely PC makers' fault—has contributed to consumers holding off on new PC purchases while they snap up lower-cost devices, most of which are used as secondary, or companion devices. Microsoft is obviously playing a long game with Windows 8, and it has created a foundation that can compete in this new world. But there isn't a single Windows 8 PC or device that's priced to do so right now. And Windows 8 will suffer by comparison this quarter as a result.

Daredevil #109

The current Daredevil arc, "Cruel and Unusual," gives Brubaker and co-writer Greg Rucka ample opportunity to stretch their crime fiction limbs, albeit in a superhero context. There's an engaging central mystery at the center of the plot, and a number of compelling twists in the way of our heroes. Lark's artwork perfectly complements the writing with gritty, naturalistic depictions of the streets. The book is clearly working well in their hands.
So why aren't I raving about it?
To be honest, it may just be a question of taste. While Brubaker's take Daredevil isn't a million miles away from Bendis' version, there's a certain perfunctory air to Brubaker's recent arcs. Everything slots into place a little too perfectly, and the characters tend to feel more like pieces on a chessboard rather than the flawed-but-human cast I remember from Bendis' era on the title. Under Brubaker, the characters — Murdock especially — feel a little one-note and repetitive.
That said, the wider plot arcs and more immediate mysteries are more than enough to keep the series entertaining, but it's hard to believe this is the same Brubaker who had me gripping the pages the first time I read "Lawless." Perhaps there are some preconceptions of what a Daredevil title should be that are hampering my ability to appreciate the work, or perhaps the pacing is just a little too slow for me. Whatever the reason, I find myself admiring the work on a technical level rather than fully engaging with the story. I get it in my head, but I'm not feeling it in my gut.
The one thing that does have me eager to read the rest of the story is Ben Donovan's apparent willingness to die for a crime he didn't commit. Between that and the attack on Dakota at the end of this issue, I can at least be hopeful that the arc will, at least, deliver a satisfying conclusion, and I'll find it much easier to forgive a dull journey if the destination's exciting. It'll be some time until my goodwill towards the "Daredevil" team is exhausted, but it'd be nice to see a major shake-up soon.

Ben and I watched anime over the summer, and now that it's fall we decided to put our thoughts about the previous season in print. So without further adieu, here are our impressions of Summer 2016's anime, starting with my own.
Alderamin on the Sky:
Where to begin? my original impression was that this was going to be another warring era drama. It is far from that. The character introductions were spot on and their development continued to the last episode. Speaking of the ending, the conversation between the male lead and the princess is a good finale; but I'm hoping this is the prelude to at least a second season. Overall this was a well done series that held my interest from beginning to end.
I give it a FIVE and recommend it.
Started slowly, almost annoyingly so. However, after the introduction of the main characters, I began to warm up to this show. Pikari–Miss Extremely Outgoing, almost to the point of turning one off–meets Teko, a slightly introverted girl who just moved to the area. This is more than you typical slice of life. The premise of scuba diving along with the quality of the supporting cast makes this an interesting series if you can get past some of the Pikari and Teko's antics.
Overall a very strong FOUR.
Arslan Senki:
Arslan continues to be an exceptional story. These eight episodes open up a new chapter where the story continues to test the main characters' mettle, and so far their testing is going well. We end with a cliffhanger placing Arslan in a delicate position: to become king, he must decide how many established rules of the kingdom he must break. And on top of that, which one of his allies will become an enemy? We'll have to wait and see.
Kidou Senshi Gundam RE: 0096:
Remembering this is a Gundam show, I didn't expect this to end well. It actually ended better than I expected. However, I thought the "secret" of the box was pretty lame.
Surprise! This was actually good! It ended (maybe) very well. I do believe a second season could be in the works (and it should be). Characters were very good, the story was coherent, and even the animation looked good.
Mob Psycho 100:
To quote Ben: "This show really brings it." While not one punch man, it scores just as well for many different reasons.
Since I'm a RPG player, I wondered how this series would explore the gaming business from the creative standpoint. If this is a typical representation of the gaming industry (my tongue planted firmly in cheek), then it's a miracle anything gets done. Entertaining but, like I said, not representative of the industry. I hope…
Macross Delta:
Story = Three
Background music = Three
Idol group = Four point Five
Overall = Three. I guess Frontier spoiled me.
Ben's thoughts continue after the break:
91 Days:
Top-notch Mafia revenge drama. It's set in 1920s America, with admirable attention to historical details. Nothing is out of place (except for one thing; where, exactly, is the city of Lawless?). Pacing and production values are on point. Studio Shuka (composed of old Brain's Base people) have totally got their act together. But the writing is what really stands out. Compelling characters interact in surprising ways, while the story maintains a tone of tragic inevitability. On several occasions, I would finish an episode feeling stunned and amazed at what just happened. And yet, in hindsight, none of these twists came out of nowhere. That is some master-class storytelling.
rating: FIVE
Alderamin on the Sky:
As a fan of the manga (never read the original light novels), I was pumped for this show. Madhouse can do good work when they put their minds to it. And in this case, the results were very good. However, the first episode got this series off to a rocky start. The world-building exposition and character introductions were clumsily handled, and the main character came off as a bit of a creep. Starting with the second episode, though, things picked up, and the show never looked back. The cast got some real development, and the main character came into his own as sort of a younger, douchier Yang Wen-li. Also, the show got better at elegantly incorporating details of the world while keeping the story momentum going. Notably, it avoids the trap of over-explaining the magic system, as it avoids so many of other light novel cliches. The characters show a refreshing level of maturity in how they deal with matters of sexuality and violence. And the plotting was spot-on. All in all, a solid package. Head and shoulders above almost all other fantasy light novel adaptations.
rating: FOUR
Amaama to Inazuma (Sweetness and Lightning):
Adorable slice-of-life about a widowed single father learning how to cook for his 5-year-old daughter. Do not watch this show on an empty stomach. The cooking scenes which make up a large part of the series are great. But it's more than just a cooking tutorial (although it works pretty well at that). There is some real heart here. What makes this show stand out is the little girl. She's believably childish without being obnoxious, which is a rare thing for child characters in anime.
rating: FOUR
Arslan Senki:
More Arslan, and it was good. Our heroes keep bringing the awesome, and some of the villains even get a bit of character development. Unfortunately, the story is woefully incomplete. Until we get another season, I will continue to curse the anime industry politics that limited this season to only 8 episodes. Frustrating, because this is such a compelling story, and I want to know what happens next.
rating: FOUR
This season's noitaminA show was a quiet character drama about a junior-high baseball player. Compared to the other noitaminA sports-related drama–Ping Pong–Battery fell far short. The very limited baseball action was almost beside the point; but the main problem with the show was that while it explored some interesting themes (i.e. bullying and conformity), it didn't fully follow through.
rating: THREE
Seriously flawed adaptation of the Conviction arc. The core of what makes the story good was still there in the writing, but the direction and animation were awful. I weep for what might have been.
rating: THREE
Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! LOVE!
Sequel to last year's gay magical boy show. This season takes some shots at the idol-industrial complex. Still funny.
rating: FOUR
Hitori no Shita the Outcast:
Shoddy Chinese fantasy martial arts action. Production values are crap, the writing is uneven, and the season ends just when the story starts going somewhere. I liked the female lead, though. She had an amusing deadpan charm.
rating: TWO
Kidou Senshi Gundam RE: 0096
Overall, this was an uneven entry in the UC Gundam franchise. Great Gundam action, and most of the characters were well-written. Mineva is the absolute best princess character in a Gundam show, and one of the best princesses in all of anime. However, there are three serious flaws with this show. First, the main character is weak. When he's not being a bland hero, he's spending several episodes moping and being useless, which is even worse. Second, the show leaned heavily into Newtype nonsense. Newtypes are a blight on the UC. Finally and most importantly, the final reveal of the McGuffin that everyone had been fighting over was stupid. It makes the entire politics of the Universal Century stupid. Which is a shame, because up until that reveal, the UC had a political economy that made sense. Sigh.
rating: THREE
Mob Psycho 100:
Edges out 91 Days for anime of the season. I loved this show. From start to finish, everything was firing on all cylinders. The opening theme rocked. I would watch it every episode, spellbound. I especially loved how each shot of the opening seamlessly flowed into the next. The direction and animation were top-notch. Who knew that the author's freaky art style could look so good? But best of all was the writing. In many respects, it was even better than One Punch Man. One Punch Man had sharper social satire, but Mob Psycho had more heart. I loved the delicious irony of a naive teenager being taught valuable lessons about how to live with integrity by a con artist, and the con artist actually being a good teacher whose advice is true and correct. Brilliant.
rating: FIVE
Shoujo high school drama with time travel elements. As someone who lives with a depressed family member, I can say that this show totally gets how depression works, and for that I can forgive any number of minor frustrations. There were some episodes where the characters' actions annoyed me, but that was not necessarily a weakness. It was a mark of how believable the characterization was, and how much I got emotionally invested in the struggles of these characters, that their mistakes had such an effect on me. And the payoff was worth it. Also noteworthy, especially considering that this is a shoujo romance, is that the handling of time travel was totally consistent. The series stuck with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where time travel creates a new alternate timeline. There were several scenes showing this group of friends in the future, before and after they sent back letters advising their past selves on how to save one of their friends from himself. It was clear that once they sent off their letters to the past, it was out of their hands and they had no way of knowing what would happen to their (now alternate) past selves. All they had were wishes and hope.
rating: FIVE
Another show about overcoming the regrets of the past, but unlike Orange, no time travel. Instead, the main character gets a chance to relive his high school days with the benefit of hard-earned wisdom. It played mostly like a slice-of-life, but with some weight to it. The tone was nicely balanced. Not too dark or too fluffy, willing to laugh at the characters' foibles without being mean. It was great fun to watch the main character sensibly cut through all the usual high school melodramatic nonsense while still struggling with his own issues. Another nice bit was how each episode had its own ending song, and they were all good. Although the show ended at a decent stopping point (having mostly caught up to the manga, which is still ongoing), the story was still incomplete.
rating: FOUR
Seriously problematic visual novel adaptation. I liked the characters and wished them well, although those with a lower tolerance for moe might not. Unfortunately, the plot failed hard. Everybody dies so the show can make some kind of half-baked environmentalist/humanist point.
rating: TWO
Shokugeki no Souma Ni no Sara:
Solid adaptation of a manga I already enjoyed. Neat use of pop culture references in the food fantasy sequence, including a JoJo bit in one episode. Most of this season was a tournament arc, but a well-made one. But then at the end, it turned into a kind of training arc. I liked how the series made clear that, overpowered as the main character is, he doesn't have all the answers.
rating: FOUR
Tales of Zestiria the X:
Ufotable video game adaptation. Beautiful to look at, and the characters were likable (especially the princess), but there was a serious lack of narrative momentum. The show didn't help itself by having two episodes in the middle focusing on a completely unrelated group of characters, evidently to promote some other game in the franchise. Oh, and it turned out that this season was only half the story.
rating: THREE

Texans | Braxton Miller doesn't practice
Wed, 13 Dec 2017 16:06:01 -0800
Houston Texans WR Braxton Miller (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 13, as he remains in the concussion protocol.
It's uncertain if Miller will be able to suit up in Week 15, but he would be facing a difficult Jaguars pass defense. His fantasy window appears to be shut now, too, as Will Fuller was able to return from a multi-week injury to join DeAndre Hopkins.

The Bruins needed to clear a spot on their 23-man roster to make room for the return of winger Brad Marchand from injured reserve. So despite his share of the team lead in goals with five, Seth Griffith was assigned to Providence of the American Hockey League on Monday afternoon.
No Columbus trip for Bruins' Marchand
Bruins forward Brad Marchand will not travel with the team to Columbus for their game against the Blue Jackets on Friday, according to coach Claude Julien.
Marchand missing, Krejci participating at Bruins practice
WILMINGTON — Bruins forward Brad Marchand did not practice Monday, but center David Krejci joined his teammates for their session at Ristuccia Arena.
Julien: Marchand 'wasn't 100 percent'
Bruins forward Brad Marchand did not play the final 13:45 of Boston's 2-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday at TD Garden.
Matured Marchand lets his scoring do his talking
Brad Marchand loves to chirp opposing players.
Unfortunately for him, the New York Rangers don't have too many players that share that hobby. And even if they did, Marchand says the referees in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs have been quick to threaten 10-minute misconducts at the slightest hint of trash talk.
Undying loyalty to Seguin, Marchand might lead to Bruins' early demise
Brad Marchand led the Bruins in goals and points during the regular season. Tyler Seguin was second in goals, third in points.
You know what they are right now as the Bruins' Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against Toronto moves to a Game 7 Monday night at TD Garden? Dead weight.
Stiff competition has kept Bruins' Marchand at bay all season
The 48-game schedule doesn't provide us with a great sample size.
But if you're wondering about Brad Marchand's inability to find the back of the net in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against Toronto, you might be interested to know that playoff teams kept Marchand off the score sheet a lot this season.
Head games: Bergeron close to return, Marchand making progress for Bruins
Although Patrice Bergeron has been cleared by doctors and took his second morning skate with the Bruins Monday, no one would declare if the center would play against Ottawa in an evening contest at TD Garden.
Bruins make Marchand another key piece of their future with new deal
Regardless of what the new Collective Bargaining Agreement looks like, Brad Marchand will not be a restricted free agent next summer.
The Bruins today made sure of that by signing the speedy winger to a four-year extension worth $4.5 million annually starting in the 2013-14 season.
'11-12 Bruins Season in Review: Brad Marchand
Good brat or bad brat?
After Bruins head coach Claude Julien applied those terms to the two sides of forward Brad Marchand, that was the question running through the coach's mind and everyone else's thoughts seemingly every time Marchand took the ice.
Bruins 6, NY Islanders 3: Seguin, Marchand duel to end; division title on hold
While still not decided, the Bruins' race against Ottawa for the Northeast Division title lacks for drama now that Boston leads the Senators by six points and needs just clinch a tie to repeat as division champion.
However, a better race is brewing with just four games remaining in the Bruins' season. Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand, who both scored in the Bruins' 6-3 win over the New York Islanders today, are all tied up for the team goal lead.
Peverley heads home, Marchand doesn't head to principal's office for Bruins
Before departing Montreal for Winnipeg and a game with the Jets Friday night, Bruins head coach Claude Julien reported today that Rich Peverley has returned to Boston to have his knee evaluated.
Peverley was injured four minutes into the third period of Boston's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens when he was hit by defenseman Hal Gill while crossing his own blue line with the puck. It's doubtful Peverley would be able to rejoin the Bruins for the Jets game.
Bruins' Marchand gets 'Shanabanned' — 5 games
Classifying Brad Marchand's clip of Vancouver's Sami Salo as "a predatory low hit," NHL disciplinarian this evening suspended the Bruins forward for five games.
Marchand was previously assessed a five-minute major for clipping and a game misconduct Saturday in the second period of Boston's loss to the Canucks.
Bruins await word on potential Marchand discipline
BOSTON — The Bruins practiced today at the TD Garden after taking Sunday off.
Among the squad on the ice was winger Brad Marchand, who then had a phone hearing with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan about a potential fine or suspension for the clip on Vancouver's Sami Salo Saturday.
Poll result: Marchand making the most of 2nd NHL season
A season ago, Brad Marchand told everyone in the Bruins organization who would listen that he was going to score 20 goals.
The winger backed up his rookie-year boast by lighting the lamp 21 times in the regular season.

During my long stint of more than 1000 trainings I have been enormously interested in finding out why and how people learn and why they won't. Based on my observations I have coined a term "The Power of -1" . Minus One has two very interesting properties. If multiplied by biggest possible positive number, it converts it to negative and if multiplied by biggest possible negative number, it converts it to positive.
I have been using this technique in my personal life, in my trainings and teaching to my participants.
No matter what I teach in a training or any participants may already know, only one doubt in his mind will make all the gyan useless. It will clutter his mind and give enough reasons to not to act on any of the knowledge he possesses. This doubt may be something like "It sounds good in theory but in practical life……" OR "If this is how it is then ….." OR " This may be okay for others but we are different ….." OR " hard work is ok but some people do have good luck…".
The doubts are like dirt on all precious knowledge we may possess. It covers all the gems of wisdom and promotes inaction. Specially to the people who don't have enough will power to change, doubts give sufficient reason to lay supine. Since the time I started devoting time to remove this dirt, I could see palpable results. Not only the trainings became more effective I am seeing more and more participants discussing during breaks, asking for contact details for individual sessions and increased queries through mails – depicting more interest in learning and putting that in action.
Interestingly I have devised a way to use this power of -1 for good. People usually talk about negative or not so supporting environment, boss, juniors etc. I use the power of -1 to convert this negativity to positive. Negative environment only means less competition for me. Instead of saying " My boss never appreciates" I say " I need to learn more on how to get appreciated" and I'll read some good books, google on it and consult some expert. Any atonement shall be handy with many more people, throughout my life. My juniors are never useless, its me who has to upgrade "How to get work done" skills. That may also work in getting my kids study harder.
This is a simple change of perception. Abundance of energy is already there, but working against you, use power of "sublimation" to make it work for you, to motivate you and challenge you.
Hope you will enjoy converting all negative energies to positive using power of minus one.

Jessica White was arrested the other day for fighting over a cab…..a cab?!?!? I know cabs can be hard to find late at night in NYC, but if you are a top model, you should be able to call a car service to get you home. This behavior is unacceptable. We don't tolerate it with Naomi Campbell, so why would we tolerate if from you Jessica White. I mean really were any of the things mention in the NY Post article necessary?
According to the court complaint, White "pulled the victim's hair and struck [the victim] numerous times in the face with her hand, causing abrasions, swelling and substantial pain."
Jessica please do better. You are more famous for who you date and who you hit up side the head, than you modeling. Please, I ask you, do better.

Go Here: The Profanity Houses in New Jersey
Here's what you should do: Take NJ Rt 517 in Allamuchy past the rural farmland fields, and turn off at the 18th century church's graveyard onto a pot-hole filled asphalt backroad. The road will becomes gravel and then dirt, as farmland stretches out on your right, and a mountain rises out of the forest on your left. Keep driving and watch the left.
Stop your car when you see a creepy, swinging, rusty iron gate on ten-foot concrete pillars, sitting alone without the fence that once gave it purpose.The road you've been traveling on is the driveway to the enormous estate that sits behind this gate. Welcome to the Rutherfurd Stuyvesant Estate; once the largest estate in New Jersey, owned by the Rutherfurd-Stuyvesant Family.
Wander the grounds via the carriage path and you'll find remnants of stone walls, bridges and dams before reaching the remains of the mansion, which was built in the late 1700s and burned to the ground in 1959. While the mansion is mostly gone, the old outbuildings sprinkled through the woods are why you really came, trust me. Gothic-style farmhouses, sheds, and barns sit forgotten in the woods, decrepit and beautiful. So why the name?
The profanity houses are named as such because they are covered in swear words. Some of it quite graphic, the graffiti covers ever inch of the houses, floor to ceiling. This is definitely not the place to bring your kids for a day of fun exploring in the woods, but it's awesome. The best part: the consistent handwriting indicates that this is the prolific work of one individual. One very crazy, very committed individual.
These days, the former estate is a part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park, and the land has been state owned since 1960. Please go see it, before some buzzkill Town Clerk decides it's inappropriate.

Oh my. First, Reuters Online puts out an adoption story with minimal fact-checking, and now The Nation publishes an opinion piece by Columbia Law Professor Patricia J. Williams that is so full of international adoption stereotypes it's depressing. In Save the Children? Professor Williams essentially says:
- If someone wants to adopt for humanitarian reasons, she should work for an NGO or just go "plow a field" instead.
- People are adopting out of "missionary smugness."
- International adoption is a form of human trafficking.
- "In many international and interracial adoptions, kids are raised to look down on their origins."
- Adopters see children as commdodities that can be returned.
- People want "exotic" children.
- People want to be like Angelina Jolie.
- Many white adopters prefer a damaged and "catatonic" white Romanian orphan to a healthy African American child.
- Adopters are selfish.
Where to begin? For starters, can I just point out that Romania's international adoption program has been closed for almost seven years? That may seem like nit-picking, but really, if Ms. Williams is unaware of the drama and turmoil surrounding the closure of that country, how deeply has she delved into the facts and specifics vs. opinion, prejudice and ideology on the subject?
There is so much real child welfare work to do, so many meaningful ways that international adoption can and should be improved. Angelina Jolie is not the problem.
Please, if The Nation article bothers you as much as it does me, go leave Ms. Williams a helpful comment there. Let's talk facts.

The continuation of the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign is still six months away, but Nigeria's senior national team manager, Gernot Rohr has friendly matches planned to determine the readiness of players he intends to use against Cameroon in August.
There has been some hoopla at home because only one player – Ikechukwu Ezenwa, a goalkeeper, was deemed good enough to join the team for the matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso
In Senegal, Rohr has gone for a look-alike opponent – physical, skillful and brawny; attributes that the Indomitable Lions possess in abundance. On Thursday, the Eagles meet the Teranga Lions at little Barnet Stadium in the UK, and Rohr will be taking note of the following:
The right back position
Since he took over the Eagles, Rohr has deployed no less than three different players in this position – Musa Mohamed, Wilfred Ndidi, and Abdullahi Shehu, but he is still searching. That is the major reason why a Tyronne Ebuehi has been invited.
A likely replacement for Victor Moses
With Moses out injured [for the umpteenth time in friendly matches], Rohr would be looking for a worthy replacement for the left and right flanks. Moses Simon and Ahmed Musa have been used to no great effect. That must be the purpose of bringing in Isaac Success, who does a good job from the flanks for Watford in the Premiership.
Can Ezenwa stand in effectively for Ikeme?
Carl Ikeme is injured and Daniel Akpeyi could not join his colleagues on time, which means FC Ifeanyi Ubah goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, would be given the opportunity to lay claims to the No.1 jersey. His performance against Senegal would either make or mar his national team stint, at least under Rohr.
Can Ndidi replace Mikel's experience?
Is Rohr going to look back or forward on the issue of his defensive midfielders by thoroughly contemplating Wilfred Ndidi for the role full time after using the midfielder at right back position? There is also the little issue of Mikel Obi, who still bestrides the Eagles like a colossus. Ndidi has been doing very well with Leicester City and maybe it is high time that the position was handed over permanently.
These friendly matches are not the only barometers for judging players but it is a huge chunk of how Rohr will prepare this team for the exam of the Lions come August.

|The can of extract! This is YOUR first beer!
Same with brewing! I don't care if you brew on a 30 barrel brewhouse for one of Colorado's wicked awesome craft breweries, a 10 gallon "Brutus" setup in your garage, or a Mr. Beer in your apartment!
If you're turning ingredients into beer, you are a BREWER!
If you are a good brewer or not.... That's for you and your buddies to decide!
I've been brewing since I was 21 and 2 days old. That was a full 15 years ago...but time flies when you're fermenters are full!
|Sanitize EVERYTHING that touches cool wort!
We began by sanitizing EVERYTHING that would touch the wort! Wort is the unfermented beer, and it's a BITCH'N place for bacteria and junk to grow, but we want to make sure that the only thing growing in our beer is the yeast colony that WE put in there! So as you can see, Sanitation is of PARAMOUNT importance!
A trick that I learned from a member of the Homebrewtalk.com forum, YuriRage, was to mix Star San in a chemical sprayer. All you need to do is wet all the surfaces and wait a few minutes. There is no rinsing, no fussing and no waste! I've NEVER (Knock on my wooden head) had an infection using this method!
The Mr. Beer kit is essentially a can of Malt extract with hops included, a few bottles to package it in and a barrel shaped plastic jug to ferment it in. This kit is an "American Light" beer... That means a poor imitation of an American Light Lager, in my estimation!
I warmed up the syrup in some hot water so it would be a more workable substance to deal with, then dumped it into a soup kettle with 4 cups of HOT water and brought the entire pot to a boil.
|Yeast in the barrel!
After topping up with cold water and making absolutely sure that the liquid is BELOW 72 degrees.... THIS IS A KEY PART.... So LISTEN! The WORT MUST BE UNDER 72Degrees! (Don't forget to sanitize your thermometer!) I poured in the yeast! This is called "Pitching The Yeast" and is where you take on the biggest role as a brewer! This is the moment where you begin to convert sweet wort, by adding our best biological brewing bug buddies, into that wonderful liquid lubricating agent we call BEER"!
Not part of the Mr. Beer instructions, but a crucial part of my workflow, I took a gravity reading after the wort had cooled and before I pitched the yeast! The wort had a gravity of 1.030. When we bottle, I will show you how that is important in determining our alcohol level in our brew!
Now we wait! This mixture will bubble and churn for about 7-10 days, then it will clear and we will bottle it!
The beer will sit in tightly capped bottles for about a week while the yeast take on a bit of additional sugars that we will add and make our beer "Fizzy" by carbonating it, then we will taste it!
Hope you're excited... Hope you have a GREAT WEEK!

Letters to the Editor
Get Off Dave
Regarding Garrett Wheeler's brief article on the Dave Matthews Band's upcoming concert at the Greek Theater (Music, Sept. 3), I was very disappointed to read how down he was on one of the most respected (primarily for keeping their prices low and always having a positive attitude), consistent (never let a year go by without a tour and thus, no need for a "reunion") and energetic performers on the concert circuit today. In no way does this band "sound about as congruent as peanut butter and cheese." In fact, it's the exact opposite. If Wheeler had seen the same three-hour general admission show I had on Friday, Sept. 5, in a theater that's a third of the size of the Shoreline—a venue DMB easily sells out—the writer might have felt he had made a mistake. There was sense of resentment in the article from Wheeler, almost as if he was still writing for his school newspaper and was assigned a feature on the smart and talented, but good-natured, class president and still was not impressed. By taking his broken dreams of becoming a rock star out on DMB, Wheeler might have been aware that the picture used in the article is dated. On the far left is saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who passed away last month. But when you're filled with anger and jealousy, it's hard to think objectively and pay attention to detail.

No Homes, No Justice
Re "Unreal Estate": I don't understand why more people like Maria Avila are not indicted and put in jail and forfeit everything she owns. After that she should be deported.
I don't approve of illegal immigration, but I approve less of people like Maria Avila who take advantage of these people. California is rampant with mortgage fraud. Even now people seem to be reluctant to bring these people to trial. The district attorneys' offices in many California towns should be ashamed that they are not doing more to bring these people to justice. Makes you wonder how much fraud the politicians are involved in.

Re "Meet Your Umami" (Cover Story, Sept. 3): It is very nice to see the result of Umami Symposium. I contacted Shoichi Shiono at Nami Nami when I had email from Kyoto Kicho Japan (Tokuoka, chef of the celebrated Kyoto restaurant Kitcho). Shoichi was young and energetic—ambitious to participate in the event. I am sure this newspaper article will be helpful for his success. Thank you very much.

Why No on 8 Matters
Voting no on Prop. 8 would benefit everyone. Most of Americans are close-minded, ignorant people that can't be accepting of others. But the new generation, they're starting to realize that it's about love—and not gender. Banning marriage toward gays and lesbians would mean taking away rights of people who don't deserve that. We are humans, just like any other straight, or heterosexual, person. Taking away marriage for us would mean not being able to visit our girl/boyfriends in the hospital when they are sick or injured. There are other rights, just like that, that would be taken away if we didn't have the right to get married. It's just like taking away black people's rights to get married, or any other "group" like that. It pains me to see that we even have to deal with this issue. I'm 14 years old and I've been exposed to things that seem like they shouldn't even have to be dealt with. Love is love. I am gay, and what if in four or five or six years I want to get married to a woman that I fall totally head over heels with, and aren't able to just because some people that don't understand won't let me? It's cruel. It's wrong ... If people would understand this, I think that the whole world would be a more peaceful place to live in. Right now, it's torture. It's embarrassing to be who you want to be.
We need hope.

The Potential For Advanced Emotional And Ethical Development
MORAL CONCERN can be observed in even very young gifted children
and is an expression of intellectual intensity. When combined
with sensitivity and empathy, which are expressions of emotional
intensity, moral concern is transformed into moral commitment.
Because of their intellectual complexity, gifted people are able
to consider the possibilities of how things in the world might be.
At the same time they can see how far short the world is falling
of their ideal and they often feel keen disappointment and sometimes
despair. When they try to share their concerns with others, they
are often met with reactions such as denial, minimising, puzzlement
or hostility.
Many gifted people feel deeply for others.They sense their joys,
pains, sorrows and hopes and sometimes become distressed when they
cannot alleviate their problems. Sensitive gifted people will often
weep at the cruel treatment of an animal or the struggle of human
Today, with each news bulletin, we receive information about world
problems - crises, poverty, war, environmental devastation, natural
disasters. We then have to consider and emotionally respond to the
ramifications of these events.
Gifted people's empathy for the suffering of others makes them
particularly vulnerable to the many forms of insensitivity they
see on television, at school or work and in the world around them.
Often gifted people feel powerless to act against this insensitivity
and their sense of helplessness can lead them to despair and being
critical of themselves as they feel a responsibility for these situations.
For their emotional wellbeing, it is important for young gifted
people to be encouraged to explore some of the worlds problems
and possible solutions.
As gifted children are concerned about political and social problems,
values and moral ethics, they need to be exposed early to areas
of the curriculum, such as Science and Social Studies and Philosophy,
where these issues can be explore.
The consciousness, concern, personal responsibility and commitment
of gifted people should be nurtured and supported so that they will
feel equipped to use their talents towards the resolution of global
Gifted people should also participate in projects or community
service to alleviate their sense of helplessness.

NAP or No Added Preservative wines, and low sulphite wines are a hot topic at the moment. Unfortunately the more they're discussed the more confusion seems to be created. Off License News has just published an article on the subject of sulphites in wine and it's clear that whoever wrote it doesn't understand the first thing about the problem.
It's written as if the people who want to find low sulphite or sulphite free wines to drink are doing it just to be awkward, like somebody at your dinner party announcing at the last minute that they're a vegan! The truth is these sulphites trigger reactions in a minority of people which can be fatal, and having experienced it first hand I don't think it's something which should be trivialised by ill informed wine journalists. My partner Jane has been sulphite intolerant since 1999 and that is how we've come to do so much research on the subject. This intolerance (not our research!) has nearly cost her life on several occassions. These same sulphites killed 30 people in the USA in the 1970s who ate from a salad bar infused with sulphites to prevent the lettuce from discolouring, which led to the American government bringing in legislation that any food product containing more than 10 parts per million must state 'contains sulphites' on the label. Australia is now at the forefront in the world imposing legisation on the sulphite issue.
Big business elsewhere is happy to brush this problem under the carpet as sulphites (E-numbers E220 to E229) are present in a huge variety of foods, and the financial implications of a major health scare would be extremely damaging.
Let's sort out the confusion
It's really not that complicated to understand the basics and then avoid wines high in sulphites. Please bear with me if things get a little technical, it will all be made clear in the end. The problem and confusion lies with the myriad of differing ill informed opinions and poorly written incomplete articles. Plus of course the similar names of sulphites, sulphides and sulphates, and the difference between 'free sulphur' and 'bound sulphur'. I will now explain the basics to make it clear for everyone who uses this site.
Wines are produced all over the world and although most regions try to set common standards, legislation does vary from country to country. Basically ALL WINES (with an absolutely tiny minority in some countries with wines under 10ppm) must have, by law, 'contains sulphites' on their label. This is because Sulphites, in tiny quantities, are a natural bi-product of the fermentation process. The potentially dangerous sulphites are the ones which are added to the wine as 'free sulphur' at various stages of it's production, sometimes in powder form (potassium bisulphate), sometimes as a gas (sulphur dioxide) and occassionally dissolved in the wine itself in liquid form. The purpose of this free sulphur is to react with any oxygen before the oxygen can react with (and spoil) the wine. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria which could also potentially spoil the wine. It's also useful in controlling the process of malolactic fermentation where malic acid is transformed into lactic acid. In some wines a certain amount of malolactic fermentation can be desirable, it all depends on the grapes' natural acidity, fruit quality and sugar content, and of course the style of wine being produced. This can be very confusing for those of us without a master's degree in chemistry. This sulphure dioxide (SO2) can exist in different molecular forms, known as sulpite, bisulphite or molecular SO2, depending on the acidity of the wine and the temperature during fermentation. Thus a temperature controlled (28 degree) grape must with high acidity will have a completely different split of the three SO2s than a wine fermented in warmer temperatures with lower acidity. Confused yet?
So to make a wine without adding sulphur is actually quite difficult because you have to tackle these problems in other ways, and this can be time consuming and expensive. The biggest problem is oxidation – the wine reacting with oxygen present and discolouring and developing a stale taste. In red wines this can be overcome as red wines contain natural anti oxidants in the form of tannins derived from the the grape skin. (Alcohol is also very useful as an anti oxidant). Whites and roses don't have this ability so they need far more sulphur than quality reds to prevent this reaction. Good quality fruit, ripe, with good acidity is a also a natural defense as is temperature controlled fermentation. Unfortunately the cheap brands start off with cheap, poor quality fruit and subsequently are fighting an uphill battle – at least they would be if they bothered fighting it. Instead they're quite happy to splash in the sulphur and let us all suffer with horrendous hangovers every time we have a bottle of their wine!
These poor quality brands have dominated the UK wine market in the off trade (supermarkets and national chains) for years and many people accept this is what wine actually tastes like. They also assume their hangover is due to the alcohol – no, it's due to these chemicals. I can comfortably drink 2 bottles of good wine without even an inkling of feeling rough the next day. Give me one glass of a mass produced brand – or a couple of pints of UK brewed lager – and I wake up with a banging headache because of the chemicals.
Most producers and wine journalists think that the handful of wineries making 'no added sulphur' wines are all 'mad professor types' just being awkward for the sake of it. Jane, on the other hand, will tell you they're not!
Which wines are safe for sulphite intolerant people to drink?
No added sulphur wines of course, but a good low sulphur wine should also be safe for a sulphite intolerant person. By law a wine can contain up to 350 parts per million of sulphites, and the vast majority of cheap branded wines are right up there around the limit. (One Shiraz tested recently in Australia had a massive 10 times the legal limit!) This is because the initial fruit is poor quality, the methods are mechanised for mass production and they're driven by keeping costs down. A low sulphur wine needs care and attention, good quality grapes, hand picking, hand sorting, more expensive bottling procedures, constant monitoring, and all this costs money.
There are low sulphite wines around from family owned wineries who take pride in the wines they produce. The grapes are hand picked and the wine made with care, expertise and dedication. Many of these only have very minimal sulphur added and have a total sulphur content – this is the total of both harmless 'bound sulphur' AND 'free sulphur' – of less than 100 parts per million. Many are below 50 ppm – that's 85% less sulphur than a branded wine! The problem is the amount of sulphur content is not stated on the label.
So, how do you find low sulphite wines?
The best place to find these wines is www.goodwineonline.co.uk a website devoted to top quality, award winning, low sulphite wines, bringing together the best wines from different countries around the world. Virtually every one of their 400 plus wines is hand made by small family wineries, with real pride in producing the best wine possible from their natural ingredients with a firm focus on quality. Sounds expensive? Well, no it's not. Good wines cannot be produced at artificially low supermarket prices, but they don't have to cost the earth either. Sadly with the weak pound and ill thought out duty schedule on alcohol, a decent bottle of wine has shifted from £6 to £10, and a really good bottle from £15 upwards. To ensure you get good value try www.goodwineonline.co.uk ,they're also the cheapest prices in the UK for virtually every wine they sell. Every wine on their site has been tasted by them. They write their own genuine tasting notes (not some 'gooseberry and raspberry' nonsense off the back label). And it's ALL good wine. If the wine isn't good enough for them to drink personally, it doesn't get listed on the site. Jane is intolerant to sulphites so she tests the wines and rates them on sulphite content herself – a hard job she says, but someone has to do it! All wines are kept in stock ready for next working day delivery. There's no minimum order and you can mix and match any quantity of any wines you like.
If you want to drink wine low in sulphites this is THE place to buy them www.goodwineonline.co.uk

New iPhone 5 and updated iOS system
The PMVB would like to stress the importance of this issue and the urgency we feel is necessary in confirming your information. The PMVB website 800poconos.com, in the summer months alone received 121,000 visits from iPhone functionality.
The below was emailed to PMVB members on October 3, 2012:
With the recent advancement of the new iPhone 5 and the updated iOS system, apple has chosen to switch to iMaps, which is powered by yelp. Apple was previously using Google Maps for their chosen map application, which worked fairly well to pinpoint locations of interest (such as your business). It has come to our attention that some of our member's locations are not being recognized by this new application when customers try to search the company name (ex: Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau). In order to insure that your address is being recognized by this new app we encourage you to test it by going on your iPhone or iPad, and going to the app and typing in your company's name.
If the business has their own address as a contact in their iPhone when they check the map, that will overide the inquiry. They need to remove the contact from their own address book in order to accurately see if their address and url is listed properly.
Steps to test your company's name...
1. Click on the iMaps application
2. Once you are in, type the name of your company (ex: Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau)
3. If your company is recognized by iMaps a red pointer will be placed on the map, along with the name of your company and a blue arrow (>).
4. If you click on that blue arrow a complete listing of information will follow including, phone number, website, and address.
If your location is NOT recognized by iMaps proceed to the following steps:
*If your address is not recognized by the app by typing the name of your company a box will appear saying "no results found."
1. Click Ok
2. Go back to the top of the screen where you typed your company's name, and replace it with your company's address. Click search.
3. A red pointer along with the address you typed in will appear.
4. At the bottom, right-hand side of your screen you will see what looks like a creased page of a book. Flip that to the left.
5. A screen will appear with options. Click on the middle of the screen on the right-hand side "Report a Problem"
6. Next, click "Location is missing" and then hit Next
7. A map will appear on the screen with a purple pointer. Double check that the pointer is in the correct location and then hit Next
8. The next screen that appears is the screen where you can enter the information for your company's name to be added to iMaps.
9. Fill out all useful information, including, name, address, phone number, and hours of operation.
10. Hit Send
*Apple has informed us that your address will not be added immediately. They are working hard to solve the problems with this new app, and will update your information as soon as they can.
This is just a suggestion in order to help your businesses. Our hope is that all customers will be able to find your locations with as much ease as possible.
Contact Tiana Cefali at the PMVB with any questions at 570-421-5791.
