Framed Cameos. Cameos 1. a set of 5 framed Plaster-of-Paris cameos.
mid-19th c
a set of 5 framed Plaster-of-Paris cameos, in a black velvet mount with silver bevels, and a black and silver frame.
Cameos measure 3x4cm, 3,5x4,5cm, dia. 7,5cm, 5x4cm, 5x4cm. overall size 36 x 32 cm.
These are mid-19th century cameos brought home as souvenirs from the Grand Tour which was the traditional trip of Europe undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means, or those of more humble origin who could find a sponsor. The custom flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s, and was associated with a standard itinerary. It served as an educational rite of passage, primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry. The tradition declined with the lapse of neo-classical enthusiasm and after rail and steamship travel made the journeys much easier when Thomas Cook made the "Cook's Tour" of early mass tourism a byword.

Chris Devlin-Young, four-time Paralympic Winter Games medalist tried DynAccess Torque at Loon Mountain in NH on January 14, 2012. Chris said:
The new DynAccess mono-ski is the most 'out of the box' adjustable ski available. I was able to dial in my high performance in a run and felt very confident skiing at full speed. I think this mono-ski will benefit all levels of mono-skiers. I sure had fun in the runs I got and can't wait to try it again.

As an operations engineer, we all have various tools that we rely on heavily. Those could be for load testing, monitoring, code analysis or deployments. One tool that I wanted to touch on is gor. Gor is an amazing tool which allows you to replay captured traffic in either real time or from capture files. This is incredibly useful when rewriting applications or even testing refactored changes. You can spot bottlenecks before you push changes to production.
Realtime Replication
Grab the latest build here and deploy or copy it up to machine that you want to be the replayer. The replayer will be mainly CPU bound. Once on this machine, you can run it with the following:
GOMAXPROCS=8 ./gor --input-tcp 0.0.0.0:28020 --output-http-stats=true --stats --output-http-workers=-1 --output-http-header "Host: example.org" --output-http "http://staging.example.org|10"
This will setup the replayer to listen on port 28020. Any incoming traffic to this port will have its host header rewritten to match example.org and it will then be sent to staging.example.org limiting to 10 requests/second. You could also change the –output-http line to "http://staging.example.org|10%" to send 10% of incoming requests. Remove |10 or |10% entirely to just mirror 100% of traffic. For performance reasons, I would set GOMAXPROCS equal to the number of CPUs on this server.
Deploy or copy the latest build to a server that you want to replicate traffic from.
./gor --input-raw :80 --output-tcp gor-replayer.example.org:28020
This will setup gor to capture traffic from port 80 and to send it to the replayer which we started running in the previous step.
Once these are both running (always ensure the replayer is running first) you will see requests start to hit your target.
Captured Replication
However, if you want to playback traffic faster than 100%, or for whatever reason don't want to mirror live production traffic then you can create a capture file on the source machine.
./gor --input-raw :80 --output-file requests.gor
Run this for however long you want. It will capture data from port 80 and dump it to requests.gor
Copy this file to our replayer and we can play this back.
GOMAXPROCS=8 ./gor --input-file requests.gor --output-http-stats=true --stats --output-http-workers=-1 --output-http-header "Host: example.org" --output-http "http://staging.example.org|200%"
Very similar to the first time we ran the replayer. However this will use our requests.gor file as a source, and replay it back at 200% speed. So if your production system saw 100/requests/second this should replay it back at 200/requests/second.
Note that there are a lot of other things you can do with gor and the readme has a lot of great documentation around its use. I have successfully used gor to replicate over 400k/requests/minute from one service to a staging service. In this case, I actually had to run multiple replayers.

Reebok's Play Dry system is supposed to make water collect in beads and then repel from the jersey. When I first heard about this, like most hockey players, I thought it was great. It sounds like something that would be made for a racing sport. Who wouldn't want to play a game of hockey in a jersey that is less restrictive and won't collect sweat from playing all day long. All seemed great, because both roller hockey players and ice hockey players could utilize this hockey jersey and help themselves be one step ahead of their opposing competition. I mean having great hockey gear is essential to having an edge in the sport. The whole RBK Edge jersey would've been a great addition to my hockey equipment. Or so I thought. I still have yet to buy one. What is the reason that an avid roller hockey player such as myself would be hesitant to go out and get one of these cutting edge jerseys? Well, it turns out the technology of water repelling itself is keeping from going out and trying on the RBK Edge.
How many times have we seen things like this in the world. A brand new thing comes along that fixes one problem, but creates another. Stuff like this has happened in other sports. Usually, the equipment manufacturers find a way around the problem and fix the issues at hand. In all fairness, this the way things are. In a sport like hockey, you have multiple choices. Now granted, the NHL players have to wear these jerseys when they play. Remember, Reebok is their official equipment provider. They have a pretty big deal with the NHL, so you won't see players not wearing these jerseys when you go to a game. If you read about the problems themselves, you may not think it is a big deal and I don't think it's as huge as some hockey players think it is. But, complaints are complaints. Sports leagues are full players that complain. Some are valid and some are just downright petty. That's not to say people are whiners, depending on the way you play hockey, it may affect you or others differently.
I've read complaints about NHL players having their hands and gloves soaked while playing hockey. It makes sense, if the jersey is getting rid of all the moisture, where does that moisture go? It has to repel somewhere. In a high intense sport such as hockey, there will be alot of moisture and having that all gather in one spot can be annoying. Who wants to stick handle with soaking wet hands. What kind of effect will this have on the hockey sticks? Will this screw up slapshots or wrist shots? These are all very valid questions for those who play the sport of hockey. Will this keep me from going out and buying of these jerseys. In short, no it won't. I will eventually get around to purchasing a RBK Edge jersey, but I won't be rushing out to obtain one. I'll get one when I am good and ready to or to be more precise when I can afford one.
I don't want to take anything away from Reebok though, because they did have an extremely good concept here. The thought of having a jersey be a performance enhancing piece of equipment and comfort is a great one in my opinion. No doubt that players today are increasingly having much better hockey equipment that will lend to giving them more of an edge against yesterdays players. This almost reminds me of that whole swimsuit debacle that was happening this year. You know, where all the swim records were being broken because of the new streamlined swimsuits. I don't quite think anything like this has happened in hockey yet, but we probably aren't far from it. The RBK Edge jerseys are just bringing us one step further I think. One day, we will have hockey gear that will truly seperate us from the days of old and I'm talking significant.
I believe any future hockey gear enhancements in the industry will mostly be speed related. I've always said speed is essential in the sport of hockey, especially roller hockey. When players increase their speed, they increase chances of scoring goals. They increase their likely hood of getting to the puck or taking out an opposing player. They increase probably almost every aspect of their game. Just as Reebok has done with their pump skates series, they have taken hockey jerseys to a creative new level. That's one thing I like about this manufacturer as a hockey equipment company. They think outside the box when it comes to not only what players want, but what they need and will benefit from as well. What will be next? I'm not sure. The sport of hockey has declined in popularity over the years. I mean, I love the sport and I do know of many that are diehard players and are huge fans of the NHL. I think it's long overdue for a jump start. Will this happen sooner rather than later. Who knows. All I know is that the idea of these Reebok hockey jerseys is a good start and will help push the momentum forward.

Don't Forget about Daegu, South Korea!
Daegu doesn't necessarily have the flash and flare that Seoul has, but it's an interesting city in its own right. It is one of the biggest cities within Korean, so surely it has to be. Daegu seemed to me to be a city that was looking to define itself. It was a city that had a variety of areas and activities, but I couldn't quite put my finger on the common theme of it all. However, I suppose it's my fault that, as a washed up English major, I'm always hunting for some defining theme or narrative among my travels that may be non-existent. But alas, I thought long and hard and have sorted out what I consider to be a defining feature of all of the areas I visited in Daegu. Daegu thrives on the fact that it is, more or less, one monstrous metropolitan market.
Although perhaps it wasn't miraculous that I came upon such a conclusion as the three biggest tourist draws are the traditional medicine market, Seomun Market, and Yasigolmok (Daegu's shopping district). It was a short weekend within these city limits, but we weren't limited by the shortness of our visit. As per usual, it begins early on a misty Saturday morning with a speedy train from Gyeonggi Province to another inviting Korean city yet discovered. We decided to stay at a cozy hostel in the downtown area by the name of "Danim Backpackers".
I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who will be coming through Daegu. It isn't the physical hostel that makes this place warm and inviting, but rather the helpful staff. The hostel is run by several young Korean guys who aim to make your stay the best it can be. Upon first arriving, we were given a competent map from one of the owners, and were able to muster up an itinerary in minutes with his help. This turns out to be pretty important when you're looking to see as much of a city as humanly possible in a limited time frame. I should also mention that the owners also quickly bought a little bar down the street after opening up the hostel. Thus, your residency there includes a free beer, and you can pretty much put your feet up and enjoy your own personal bar. They'll even cook you a free sweet potato on the heater. Well, maybe that isn't typical. More on that later.
Daegu's Medical Market
Bri and I headed off towards the famed medical market in Daegu. It has been in operation since the middle of the Josean Dynasty(1392-1897) under King Hyojong. At one point, the Daegu Medical Market was considered to be the foremost herbal medicine market in the world. I knew I had entered the heart of the market when my nose burned with the potent scent of ginseng. The area was a vast and varied collection of stores that sold everything under the sun (I suppose that's a pun considering it's a herbal market). There were powerful herbs growing in bottles that looked like they predated the Canadian Constitution.
...And they probably did. I can only theorize that that the potency of all of these herbs is undoubtedly true. I base this on the fact that a society would probably, after centuries, stop using a specific herb if it wasn't effective. Roots such as ginseng have passed the test of time with flying colours. I personally drink ginseng and organic green tea at work regularly. The flavours are wonderful, the aroma is intoxicating, and I feel like I might even get a little energy from it. I should also mention that a steaming cup of ginseng tea will crush a devious hangover with a burly fist. I'm not saying it's turning my body into a Greek statue, but it certainly isn't hurting. There is, however, a limit I believe to what can be considered medicine. In fact, a specific instance within this very market comes quickly to mind. I entered a shop where I was greeted by a kind Korean man who was eager to show me something near the back of his store. He came to a brown clay pot at the back of the store, and removed the straw cover that was drooping over it. To my utter surprise, it was packed with white squirming maggots basking in the rich soil. He pointed to the maggots, then flexed his biceps and looked at me while mumbling something that sounded like "stronger." And that, my friends, would be the limit to what I can accept as medicine.
We wandered around the winding alleys intoxicated with the smell of smoking herbs and steeping teas. Eventually we came upon a cultural center and museum. Korean children shouted one excitable "Hello!" after another as we made our way through the playground and into the main entrance. Once in the museum, we examined old Korean medical diaries and watched a few videos with English subtitles. The crown jewel of entering this museum was finding a room full of traditional Korean garb (known as "hanbok) and a small backdrop to take pictures. Our eyes lit up with excitement as we eagerly traded our boring North American clothing for those artificial silken linens. I could describe it to you in detail, but it really wouldn't be fair to save us the embarrassment. So, here are some of those glorious pictures:
Okay, you can stop laughing now. We gathered what integrity we had left and headed back out for a quality look at the rest of Daegu.
Seomun Market
We were headed for Seomun Market which is multistory complex that exemplifies chaos. On our way we wandered across a peculiar site. Suddenly, in front of me there was a full-fledged cathedral. Christianity really only began to take hold in Korea within the last 40 years, so I find it interesting to see these types of sites. There is quite a large Christian population within Korea now, so I wasn't necessarily surprised. I was interested because I stumbled across a cathedral that was built recently that aimed to appear like an aged cathedral in Europe. In Europe I got used to seeing how time can age the stone of a cathedral. I was used to the gargoyle that watched over the cathedral and looked withered. I got a peculiar feeling that I was at Disney World looking at an artificial adaptation of a famous building. It was an absolutely beautiful building, but it was all a little too curious and unusual for me.
Daegu Jeil Presbyterian Church
At last we stumbled into Seomun Market. It apparently boasts more than 4000 shops in six different sections, and I could feel it. It's one of the first times that I have felt claustrophobic in an open-air section of a market. Motorcycles and scooters swerve past you and narrowly miss as you look casually upon the goods for sale. There seems to be enough fish there to feed all of Daegu for the next century. As I wander through Korean markets I find myself wondering how there can possible be any fish left in the waters near the peninsula. China and Japan have also certainly done there part to deplete the supply of marine animals near Korea as well. Seomun Market was interesting, confusing and at times disheartening. Some of the products that were being sold were alive and too cute to be sold as food. They were also too alive to be kept in those conditions. I can't say I was particularly pleased with everything I saw there in that regard, although it's not something I lose sleep over, because at the end of the day I'm not going to agree with everything another culture does. If everything resembled Canada, then traveling simply wouldn't be worth it. Some stay at home to avoid culture shock, but that's the reason I travel.
After an extended walk, a visit to the zoo-like Dalseong Park, and a delicious dinner, we made our way back to Danim Backpackers. We
quickly met two other friendly hostelers. It didn't come as a particular surprise to find out that they were also English teachers. It's become heir apparent that if you're foreign in Korea, then you're probably either a teacher or involved with the American military. We had arranged to meet up with a friend who we had met in Busan earlier in our travels, but first we went to the aforementioned hostel bar. The owners poured us healthy shots and took care of us throughout the early evening. Speaking of healthy, they actually cooked a sweet potato for us in the bar as snack food. The first hilarious part of it was that they had no working kitchen, and the second being that it was cooked on the heating column in the middle of the bar. It sounds a little preposterous, but it turned out to be pretty good (and very hot) after about an hour.
They invited us all behind the bar and we took a few great photos before we headed off into the wild expanses of the Daegu nightlife. We ended up at a bar called "Urban" which laid claim to more foreigners than I had seen in my entire Korean travels previously. We successfully met up with our South African accomplice and enjoyed the night's festivities with a live band to cheer us on. Daegu seemed to have blocks and blocks a vibrant nightlife which I didn't necessarily suspect. It was definitely a great night overall, however I found myself turned off by the fact that entire bars could be filled with foreigners in a foreign country like Korea. The foreign influx is primarily due to the American military presence, as Daegu has several military bases in and surrounding the city. There were moments when I felt like I was in a bar in Toronto, and this is what I was trying to escape in the first place. It seems strangely paradoxical to hold onto everything Western for your dear life while you're living in the East.
Haeinsa Temple
We were awoken bright and early by our trusty, yet definitively unwanted, alarm. It seems like our schedule has become almost entirely inverted as, due to our hours at work, we sleep in during the week yet wake up early on the weekends. We caught a bus to travel about 70 kilometres outside of Daegu to the precious Haeinsa Temple. Haeinsa is one of the "three jewel temples" of Korea. This establishes it as one of the three principal Buddhist temples in all of Korea. Haeinsa, Tongdosa, and Songgwansa each represent one of the three jewels of Buddhism. It is a remarkably important temple for all Buddhists across the world. I felt nothing short of privileged to be able to visit this national treasure. The grounds of the temple were beautiful as the sun slowly set, but it was what one of these buildings actually possessed inside that made Haeinsa truly remarkable. Much to my pleasure, UNESCO agreed on it's value, and thus another heritage site can be added to my list of those I've visited.
We walked up the steps directly behind this pagoda and up to Daegwangjoen, also known as the main hall of Haeinsa. It is another fine example of Korean architecture and profound attention to detail. If you read my last blog, then it won't come as a shock that it burnt down during the Japanese Invasion of 1592. It was, however, rebuilt and we can all at least be thankful that the Tripitaka Koreana did not burn down. It would have been a travesty to humanity to lose the Tripitaka Koreana. It is the world's oldest and most comprehensive intact collection of the Buddhist canon. It was hand carved onto over 81,000 wooden printing blocks in the 13th century and there isn't one error to be found in the entire collection. They informed us not to take pictures, but I simply couldn't leave without sneaking one picture. I covertly turned my flash off and hoped for the best. Light kindly poured in through the wooden barred windows as if to illuminate the collection just for me. As a lover of libraries, books, and history, this was truly a moment for me.
I'm sure no one who worked on this remarkable collection during the 13th century could have ever imagined that I would, a little less than a thousand years later, view its mastery. How could they? But perhaps that is part of the wonder of viewing these magnificent human achievements. These places will retain their value and significance forever and for everyone. There is a distinct universality to it all that, as UNESCO notes, "requires protection for the benefit of all humanity."

As observed around us, there's natural beauty in what's irregular and whimsical. What is often appealing in balance and form does not necessitate absolute precision, and all things faultless are not necessarily what we deem the most beautiful or desirable. Consider the countless examples of form and symmetry offered in nature, so often without regard to precise measurement, or if we dare, "imperfections." Variations in height, depth, width, color, and texture are not garnered as flaws, as if misformed or in error, but beheld as beautiful and distinctive, possessing extraordinary character. Yet endeavoring to infuse such distinctive imprecision into our work causes us to wince in discomfort as we focus on maintaining a measurement of exactness and distress over "inaccuracy." If beauty can be so wonderfully, flawlessly imperfect, how then exactly do we define "flawlessness" and "imperfection"?
Consider trees possessing their own inner logic and intelligence that each affects a trunk held up by roots and which culminates in branches and leaves. Yet, not only are all trees that follow these dictates dissimilar to each other, there are none that are perfectly round, or perfectly straight, or perfectly full, but each, utterly beautiful in and of itself. Would a forest have the same charm if all of its trees grew entirely symmetrical? Would a vista be as captivating without such variation and "flaws"? On a micro-level, what if the bark or the wood grain of each tree was utterly predictable every time? Would that be appealing to us?
What about furniture made from this very same wood? Even though a table is designed to be uniform and square, we still cherish the beauty and variation of the natural wood grain that is now highlighted within the context of this imposed form. The established dimensions that produce multiple versions of the same table might all outwardly appear similar, but would actually be unique and beautifully different, at the same time. We tend to see this as character and charm, rather than any form of imperfection.
Let's start by realizing that artistic imperfection does not equate to error or a lowering of standards, which might be customary to think in regards to less artistic pursuits. I'm not suggesting some sort of musical anarchy or dissension, or that mistakes are just "ok." You see, we're not talking about mistakes or errors here, and we're certainly not going out of our way to purposely introduce oversight or miscalculation. That would only produce a contrived, over-written result, not an inspired one.
- developing in a manner analogous to the natural growth and evolution characteristic of living organisms; arising as a natural outgrowth.
- Fine Arts. of or relating to the shapes or forms in a work of art that are of irregular contour and seem to resemble or suggest forms found in nature.
Our focus as artists should therefore not so much be about creating beauty but upstaging what is already beautiful, allowing it to express itself organically and work toward not allowing any obscurity. This leads to this very notion of "Flawless Imperfection." That is, the idea that beauty is often found when we remove imposed and false ideas of perfection, as we might define, and allow our medium to merely exist more organically. The result? Musical thought that is fresh and inspired, sounding as though it was meant to be written and not forced into being.
Which leads me to two observations; it seems a great many works that genuinely stand-out as brilliant, beautiful, and inspired have a tendency to not be so cautious, or safe in their approach. In addition, items bearing such attributes often contain a degree of "imperfection" or variation that adds character, of which a "precise" approach would not yield.
Perhaps your ear is telling you to use a particular chord progression, but your training and habits are making you second guess it because what your ear wants is not musically "correct," for whatever reason. Maybe there's a dissonance or "flaw" in a melodic idea you have that would cause you to immediately dismiss the idea of employing it, but yet it sounds good to you. There could be a harmony or counterpoint idea that seems to flow and work, but every musical training-fiber within you is screaming "wrong," "no!" And yet, musical inspiration hits you involving a perfectly symmetrical set of ideas that looks so good on paper and seem to make so much sense, but no matter how much you massage it, it just doesn't work. Amidst these conflicts and your insistence on what's "right," the temptation to over-align, over-smooth, over-square, over-straighten, overcompensate, and over-correct, rage on, and what is ideally organic and flawlessly imperfect is potentially replaced with what is sterile, unnatural, and typically less appealing.
Stay tuned for Part II where we explore these important concepts, further.

The Annals of Saint Anne
Pilgrims in 2019 ...
I work on the Sanctuary site here in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Pilgrims, I see them, I rub shoulders with them, I watch them, and I hear them. I have been coming to the site for over 30 years now and, quite honestly, today's pilgrims do not differ much from those of 30 years ago and, in my opinion, not much more than those of 60 years ago. The clothing has changed, yes. The behavior may not show the same respect as "back then" it is true, and cell phones are omnipresent, but the reasons to come and the motivation remain the same: we come to see St. Anne ask for her help, her intercession, to introduce to her those we love, to ask for her protection ...
Who are the pilgrims ?
To begin this column, I (Ann) took out my faithful Websters Dictionary and found that a pilgrim is one who journeys to foreign lands. Pilgrim can also mean one who travels to a shrine or holy place. And, a pilgrimage can mean the course of life on earth.

Crown Royal Bourbon Mash 40%
March 19, 2018
High esters, vanilla, hints of clean wood, green apples, slightly nutty, spicy but silky smooth. There is no denying this approachable whisky is in the bourbon vein. ★★★★☆
Crown Royal is by far, the best selling Canadian whisky in the world. It is also the second best selling whisky of any kind, in the USA. Only Jack Daniels sells more whisky. Crown Royal is so successful, its producers are free to focus on innovation for their new releases, with no need for sales gimmicks. Perhaps this is why a few people felt threatened when Crown Royal named its most recent release "Bourbon Mash," a description of how it is made.
Scottish distillers have been displaying the word "bourbon" prominently on some of their labels, for as long as most people can remember. Whether there as a selling point or simply to be transparent, including that word pleases aficionados who want to know how their whisky is made.
And so, the naysayers sat silent when Springbank released a whisky prominently labelled "Bourbon Wood." They batted not an eye when Glen Rothes named a recent release "Bourbon Cask Reserve." But Crown Royal?
Citing a law that applies in the US only, and that was passed decades after Crown Royal had already been distilling some of its component whiskies from a bourbon-style mash, they cried foul. The result? Although the whisky is known in Canada as Crown Royal Bourbon Mash, for the US market, the name has been changed to Crown Royal Blenders' Mash. Whatever. It's good whisky.
As a flawless synthesis of about fifty component whiskies, Crown Royal is one of the great blending wonders of the whisky world. The House of Seagram, from which the Crown Royal blending team derives, was virtually unparalleled in the art of blending whisky. They integrate the components so artfully, that teasing out the individual whiskies is virtually impossible.
Most Canadian distillers process each grain separately, blending them together only after they have matured fully. Crown Royal, however, takes a different approach. It uses American-type mash bills for its Coffey rye and bourbon-style components. It also makes another rye from almost 100% rye grain and produces two 100% corn whiskies.
So, it was a welcome revelation when the Crown Royal team decided to release its Coffey Rye in a straight-from-the-barrel, unblended version. Suddenly, whisky lovers could taste for themselves a Crown Royal component with all its barrel-to-barrel variations. Discovery led to epiphany and whiskyphiles not only loved Crown Royal even more, they felt they had begun to understand it.
The overwhelming success of its Coffey rye led the Crown Royal team to release Northern Harvest Rye, a blend that included 90% of Crown Royal's rye component. Aided by a World Whisky of the Year designation, sales so exceeded the team's most optimistic expectations they had to make more, and fast.
After bottling its Coffey rye and then its straight rye, it makes sense that Crown Royal's bourbon mash whisky is next in its Blenders' Series. It too, is a blended whisky, this time with a heavy emphasis on the bourbon mash component, thus allowing whisky lovers, another glimpse into the sometimes mysterious world of Crown Royal.
High esters, fruits and flowers, vanilla, hints of clean wood, green apples, slightly malty. There is no denying this is in the bourbon vein.
Slippery corn with almost perfumy vanilla. Add a slight nuttiness to the typical Crown Royal bourbonesque notes. Round, sweet, luscious and approachable. Lovely mild pepper in the middle becomes hottish spices on the finish while maintaining that creamy mouthfeel. Hints of oak tannins add structure towards the end. A lingering finish on sweet corn and vanilla with tickling hot spiciness. A rewarding whisky unto itself.
★★★★☆ Highly recommended

Great review, Davin. I agree that it's odd that some made a fuss about the name. It clearly says "Bourbon Mash" and not "Straight Bourbon Whiskey". There should be no confusion. What do you think the odds are of this one eventually making its way to Ontario?
I saw this in NB today- $37.49. Looking forward to trying it.
Dear M. DeKergommeaux,
I first saw this on the Scotch Test Dummies channel – I was shocked at how misunderstood Canadian whisky on the whole and specifically CR as I watched their live show about it. I agree 100 percent – and I am sure the same result would have occurred if they had made CR Bourbon Barrel. Is it the proximity and history that led to this?
It would be a great think if CR made a short Willy Wonka style movie showing the amazing things they make to get their B2C marketing up to date. My first taste of the sheer power of CR was Hand Selected – which led me to you and your site and book which I consult often( though I do need the new one – will be coming to me soon!)
Anyway to the naysayers pffft! Get a bottle and taste it first. I can't wait to try it!
Cheers from Seoul
[...] Note: In Canada this whisky is known as Crown Royal Bourbon Mash, which is reviewed here. [...]
So sad to see it at 40% abv…
surpirsed that i have not seen it in ontario yet ?yet its available in usa?
surprised that i have not seen it in ontario yet ?yet its available in usa?
This is now avail in Ontario – Toronto and Ottawa.
This is now available everywhere in Ontario, since Barrie has it, and it always seems to be the last place to get anything. At $37.95, I'll definitely try it. I just wish they'd bottle at at least 45% ABV.

I think I might throw up.
But in a good way.
I just did something really, really, really awesome. Or perhaps really, really, really stupid. Only time will tell.
What have you done now, Gillis?
Well, dear readers, I've gone and registered myself for the Goofy Marathon and a Half – scheduled for the weekend of January 10-13, 2013. This means that I'll be running the Donald Duck Half Marathon on Saturday January 12, 2013, and the Mickey Mouse Full Marathon on Sunday January 13, 2013. That's 63.3 kilometres of running insanity over the course of two days.
Fortunately I'm not alone in my insanity. My friend Mark – who ran the Ottawa Marathon with me this year and last, and who is also running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon with me in October – has agreed to be Goofy too. Because clearly he's awesome. Or insane.
Probably both.
As I wrote in a text to him earlier:
We are effing insane. I love it.
I may also have written:
I think I'm going to throw up from the awesomeness of this.
I just hope I don't throw up during the run. Actually, that's the least of my concerns. I'll consider myself successful if I can get through both races without collapsing into a giant puddle of goo. Okay, in all honesty, I'll consider myself successful if I can finish both races without collapsing into a giant puddle of goo and if I do so without shitting myself.
Aim high, right?

Book 3 Chapter 39: Predestination (Part 1)
When animals encounter danger, a phenomenon called "goose bumps" happens. The body's hair rises up involuntarily, which is an instinctive manifestation of living creatures when facing a crisis.
The same is true when people are in danger.
But for Shen Yi, this phenomenon had never happened since he entered the Bloody City.
Until now.
It was an instinctive, beastly instinct, totally irrelevant to his thinking.
He felt every pore on his body expanding, his hair was upright, as if death was approaching.
On the other side of the pier stood five people.
The leading one was an old man who had a thin face, deep eyes, wearing a peculiar helmet.
Shen Yi's mouth softly muttered one word.
Even without Appraisal, Shen Yi also knew who this old man was.
Magneto, one of the most powerful mutants in X-men, suddenly appeared at this time.
In the end how strong he was, Shen Yi understood clearly.
Anywhere there was metal, was equivalent to his territory.
Any metal could become his shield, his sword, or become a versatile tool in his hands.
For such an enemy, Shen Yi may not be afraid, but he never would want to easily provoke them.
Unlike Count Dracula, killing Count Dracula was a fixed Quest with obvious rewards of reward upon his death, and the return was equally as high as the huge risks. Killing Magneto was dangerous, but no good rewards were to be expected.
This was a competition mission, competition ranking was the only manifestation of value.
Shen Yi did not mind taking risks, but he absolutely minded taking risks for no value, or the value is insufficient.
So not only Magneto, he was even reluctant to provoke strong mutants such as Storm and Wolverine.
The reason was that effort and reward were not directly proportional.
However, he did not go looking for trouble, but trouble took the initiative to find him.
Magneto came, without any prior warning.
Hearing Shen Yi's whisper, his face also showed an astonished expression.
"Have you ever met me?"
"You're famous, Mr. Erik."
"Then I can save myself the introduction."
Magneto gently waved his hand, a car's top flew to his feet, carrying him to Shen Yi's side.
He seemed ready to turn this large iron mass into his flying carpet whenever he wanted.
Shen Yi casually glanced around. Unnoticed by him, the area around him was fully occupied by mutants, the entire terminal had been controlled by them. However, in this seemingly random action, Shen Yi secretly used Appraisal.
"Erik "Magneto" Lensherr, Level 5 mutant. Psychic Power: Magnetokinesis. Evaluation: Extremely sophisticated control over metal."
Unsurprisingly, Shen Yi could only get the Magneto's basic info, not even his HP was known. Unexpectedly, Appraisal actually gave unprecedented evaluation.
Was this the special effects of Innate Talent? Shen Yi didn't know, but he knew only from the detailed analysis of the data that the power of this old man in front of him could not be imagined.
He was by no means an old man that had powerful metal control but was easy to kill like in the movie .
Slowly walking down from the metal carpet, Magneto interestingly looked at the young people in front of him.
Although elderly, the old man's gestures were quite dignified, and his movements soothing, which made him extremely confident. His stare showed that he was quite self-conceited.
He looked at Shen Yi, a moment later he spoke with his own unique, low voice, "It's funny, you are not a mutant, but have more power than the mutants. I used to think that mutants were the only evolutionary direction of mankind, but now you showed me a new branch. "
In Magneto's eyes, mutants were the ultimate manifestation of future human evolution. In his view, the future of the world must be a mutant rule mankind.
Humans can not accept the rise of mutants, and mutants long for treatment that matched their abilities. The old forces want to retain their original position, the new forces try to get more, at least not less than the old forces. this inevitable conflict caused by different positions, like the authors hate piracy, readers are justifiably for it, everyone is right and proper, it is entirely due to cognitive differences caused by differences in the standpoint.
It is from this point that this kind of conflict is inevitable. The differences in power caused by mutation is precisely the root cause of the inevitable conflict between mankind and the mutant.
In contrast, the peaceful coexistence of human beings with mutants, which Professor X has been committed to, was in fact only a childish ideal.
The reason why humankind has launched wars against mutant people is also because they are aware that with the expansion of the interest of the mutant population, their influence is also growing, and became the real threat to the existence of human beings.
As the time progressed, mutants would really became the masters of this world, and mankind may only become slaves. As a result, a new form of racism will be born, just like capitalist socialism, a new banner for future social development.
It sounds very mysterious, but with fertile soil, any bizarre seeds may bear fruit.
It is also understandable when one thinks about the black's experience.
Therefore, humans are determined to flagrantly launch wars against mutant people when they are still the stronger side. Their actions now may be wrong, but they may be considered as humanity's saviors in the future.
This is entirely possible from a historical and personal point of view.
The oppression caused by the proliferation of abilities is more terrible than the oppression of power. At least the oppression of power is only the evil doings of a few people. The proliferation of capabilities means that the evil doings of many people,
Of course, the problem is much simpler from the point of view of Magneto: Mutants are the ultimate manifestation of human evolution, while stupid humans are trying to stop this evolution and trying to oppress mutants. This unjust act must naturally be contested.
But the emergence of adventurers complicated this simple opposition.
A group of peculiar, super-powerful, mutant-like people launched crazy attacks on mutants … They were both mutant and non-mutant. Their abilities varied, not as single or pure as the mutants, but manifested themselves in closer proximity to a strong human and not a mutant. They attacked mutants, but had nothing to do with humans, come and go as they want, unstrained by government, had different ways of behaving … They not only attacked mutants, but also killed each other.
This was exactly why Magneto appeared here.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Yi and spoke a single sentence, "Who are you guys?"
He did not ask why they wanted to kill mutants, he did not blame them for their passionate enthusiasm, he did not try to convince them that mutants are innocent. He simply asked Shen Yi who they were, but this was what made Shen Yi's heart tremble.
This old man was far more aware than the movie ever showed.
What he thought was no longer personal grudge, but a matter that concerns the future direction of the mutant.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
Shen Yi lightly said, "We neither have any relation with you, nor the new direction of human evolution as you thought. In fact, we are just unfortunate people who have to sit on a train to hell, and here was just one of the stops we need to passing by. "
When saying "here", Shen Yi referred to the entire X-men world, while Magneto understood it as New York.
He frowned slightly: "Can I take it as you are a group of mercenaries? Assigned by someone? So you hunt mutants?"
From a certain point of view, that wasn't wrong. Mercenary work was like stepping on a train to hell. At each stop, tourists will get on and get off the train.
Some of these people get off the train and could not get on anymore.
The train never stops, but keeps moving in hell. People who get on and get off always appear – no matter how long you stay in the train, hell is your final destination.
Magneto was a wise old man, so he immediately understood Shen Yi's last retort.
They did not murder mutants because of hatred or other causes, which explained why Shen Yi would let go of Jerry and will even run to rescue him now.
Hearing Magneto's questioning, Shen Yi smiled, he nodded: "It can be understood like that."
"So who hired you?"
"Yes, fate. You and I are enemies, this is the decision of fate. We can not defy it, unless fate changes its will."
"This is simply ridiculous. Fate doesn't have a will. I am asking you who told you to do it!" Magneto scowled.
Shen Yi shrugged: "Sometimes, the truth is more difficult to believe than the lies, but it's the truth. Maybe you do not believe it, but I know including your appearance here, including the wars you are engaged in, and even your ideals, your abilities, are also predestined by fate. You, me, and everyone here are governed by fate. Not only fate exists, it has its own will. You have the power to control the metal, do you think this is really something you had from birth? No, Mr. Erik, that's something fate gave to you. And we, too, are created by fate. The difference is … we are set by fate to be your enemies. "
"This is why we are here." Watching Magneto, Shen Yi coldly said: "You want an answer, this is the answer."
"Unfortunately, this isn't what I want, maybe I should change the way of asking." Magneto shook his head, his fingers curled slightly, a car whizzed and flew above Shen Yi's head. The whole car in the air actually began to distort, as if being twisted by strong invisible hands, forming a huge iron bar in the air, and even its head was twisted into a point shape……
Shen Yi looked at the deformation of large iron mass in the air, and lightly sighed.
Magneto's ability has almost been strong enough to be able to make Transformers artificially.
Facing such a terrible opponent, Shen Yi was still fearless, just calmly said: "The reason I answered your question, Mr. Erik, was not because I fear you, but because I think I don't need to lie about this issue. If you think you can change my answer by tying me to a pillar and burning me, then I regret to tell you that you are wrong. Whether now or later, no matter how the outcome changes, the answer will always never change, the only things that change … are just you and me. "
In Shen Yi's eyes swept a touch of the illusory, that look made Magneto felt chill.
The next moment, he saw a bundle of explosives suddenly appear in Shen Yi's hand.
Triggering yellow explosives, the regular reward after killing mutants.
When Magneto's expression changed greatly, Shen Yi coldly said: "You'd better not move, or else we die together."

Beautiful dawn
Lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night
But now I'm high
Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Beautiful dawn
Melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began
Will you remember the end of time
Beautiful dawn
You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night until you shine
Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older
Promise me tomorrow starts with you
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

On my desk are three advanced reading copies (ARCs) of Now You See Me..., which Ballantine will publish this fall. They showed up today in a Time-Warner carton from my agent (What is Time-Warner sending me? I wondered as I carefully sliced the packing tape), so I was delighted by their unexpected arrival.
The glossy cover--the title and my name against a red-and-white background with the Ballantine logo--doesn't show the jacket art, but the ARC is only one small step from the actual book. Leafing through the pages and inhaling the heady aroma of ink on paper fills me with excitement.
At the same time it heightens my impatience: October 25, the publication date, is five long months away.
The cover also caution readers:
Advance Uncorrected Proofs
Please do not quote for publication without checking against the finished book.
I always wonder how much attention is paid to that caveat. A while ago I made edits to the unbound page proofs that aren't reflected in the ARCs. I have an urge to take a fine-point pen and make every change and addition, to send a note to every reader and reviewer and bookstore owner who will read this ARC:
"I've removed that clunky sentence. I've tweaked that phrase. I've fine-tuned that bit of dialogue, resolved that plot inconsistency."

The Shamrock Marathon weekend of 2014 provided many highlights for the whole family. This was our second year participating in the race festivities and visiting Virginia Beach. The great thing about Shamrock weekend is that the whole family can find something fun to do.
We live about four and a half hours from Virginia Beach, so we loaded up the SUV and headed down the highway on the Friday before the race. As usual, we hit traffic and the four and a half hour drive turned into five and a half hours. This year we went straight to the race expo to pick up our race packets since Connor was running in the Operation Smile Final Mile on Saturday. The expo offers a lot of vendors selling their running and fitness gear. Nothing really jumped out at me this year. I bought a new SPIBelt to hold my gargantuan phone. Just like last year, Connor had his heart set on Planet Pizza for dinner. The alien and UFO decor alone is enough to make any 7 year old boy's day. After dinner, we headed to our hotel which was located four blocks from the marathon finish line. Last year we were about 10 agonizing blocks away. Lesson learned. Settled into the hotel, we called it a day and crawled into bed to rest for a big day Saturday.
We had signed Connor up for the Kids' Operation Smile Final Mile Race when I signed up for the marathon. The participants accumulate 25.2 miles prior to the race and run the final mile (to add up to 26.2 miles – the equivalent of a marathon) on Saturday. Of course Connor made sure he had exactly 25.2 miles added up in his RunKeeper account. Race morning, he was ready to go. This mile race is quite a spectacle. There were over 4500 little runners in a wide range of ages. They grouped the kids in six corrals to ease the congestion at the start. Connor got corral 2, so he started 10 minutes after corral 1 hit the course. With so many kids, we had to plan the best way to get Connor safely to the start and find him at the finish. I took Connor to the start and got him situated in his corral. Jen and Cole went toward the finish to round him up when he crossed the finish and herded into a big finishing corral to keep all of the kids together. I saw Connor speed by and Jen caught him on video, even though she didn't actually see him run past. You can see him streaking by in his florescent yellow shorts below.
The event was chip-timed, so I got an alert to my cell phone with Connor's finish time almost immediately after he crossed the finish line. His pre-race goal was anything below 7 minutes. His previous best mile time was 7:44. I told him that would be a pretty drastic leap and to shoot for a low seven minute mile. He set his new PR at 6:49! Very impressive! He was thrilled! Here are some photos of Connor running his Final Mile.

After the race, we grabbed lunch and then headed to the Virginia Beach Aquarium. This was the thrill of the trip for Cole. I was worried that at two years old, he would not have any interest and just want to run all over the place, driving us insane trying to keep an eye on him. Fortunately, he loved the exhibits and animals. He has talked non-stop about going to the aquarium since we got home. All four of us really enjoyed our time there, so I highly recommend checking it out if you make your race weekend a family affair.

Night-before-the-race dinner was a pasta buffet at the Holiday Inn – a tradition we started last year. I ate fairly light to avoid any digestive issues the next morning. We then headed back to our hotel, laid out all of my clothes, pinned my race bib to my shirt, and settled in for the night.
Finally race morning was upon us. I got up early (5:15 AM) to shower and grab breakfast from the hotel lobby. I stuck to half a bagel with peanut butter and a banana. I put on all of my race attire – shorts, long sleeved Running Dad shirt, my new SPIbelt loaded with Hammer Gel, and my trusty SKORA Phase running shoes. This year I decided to carry a water bottle with a hydration mix by Skratch Labs. I had trained with it and wanted to remain consistent during the race. The previous two marathons, I had used the water stations to hydrate. I always ended up wearing more liquid than I actually managed to swallow from those little paper cups. I figured that if I can't stand carrying the bottle, I'll chuck it and resort to the drinks along the route.
Stepping out the front door after whispering goodbye to my slumbering family, I realized it was stinking cold out there. And windy. I was tempted to go put more clothing on, but I decided to tough it out. I remembered that there were some tables outside of the Sheridan near the start line that had firepits built into them. I found the tables and squeezed in to warm up while I waited for the race to get close to starting. I ran into some friends from my local running club to chat with, which helped pass the time while I nervously waited for the race. With 20 minutes to go before race time, I stretched and warmed up.
Stepping into the starting corral, I worked my way up to the front just behind the elite runners. Here, I found the 3:05 pace group. I always am a nervous wreck before a race until I get to the start line. Then the nerves just fade away and I am ready to go all out. After the National Anthem, the "Ready, Set, Go" was announced and I was off for a twenty six mile endurance test. My goal was to finish in under 3 hours and 10 minutes. That is the time needed to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I wanted to have a bit of a cushion in case something went wrong during the race, like a bathroom break or slowing down due to running out of steam. Having the 3:05 pace group really helped me to both keep my pace in check, and take my mind off focusing on my watch every mile to see if I was hitting the 7 minute per mile pace I had planned.
The course is almost a figure 8. You run out to a military base at the beginning of the race. Here, hundreds of cadets cheer you on and offer high fives and hoo-rahs. I made sure I high fived as many of them as I could. After the base, the course heads you back toward the start, passing runners who are making their way into the base. If you have never experienced the running community, it is really impressive the amount of support runners give each other. All of us are competing with ourselves – setting new personal records – and not trying to beat the runner in front or behind us. Unless you are an elite runner and actually stand a chance of winning, we are all there to set personal records. Most of us aren't quite elite. Yet.
The course comes back to the boardwalk, which on this day felt like a wind tunnel. The wind was coming off the ocean right into our faces. Our group all tucked in together and fought the wind as a pack which made it a bit easier. I knew my family would be standing outside of our hotel at mile 11, so I finished what was left in my water bottle. When I saw them, I tossed Connor the empty one and grabbed a full one from Jen. A smooth handoff.
The other half of the figure 8 goes to another military base. Miles 16-19 are shrouded by trees, so we had a break from the wind. On this stretch, I started talking to one of the pacers, Tom Purcell, a local gym owner and personal trainer, and shared my story about Lucas. He also has a son who had complications at birth, so he could relate to my experience. Tom and I also share the same birthday, just 10 years apart. The conversation helped to tick off those miles. At mile 20, I ended up beside another runner and started a conversation. It's funny how you form a bond with the people that you run with for hours at a time.
By mile 23 there were a small group of four of us running as a pack, cheering each other on. I also saw some friends from home, Wendy and Marci, who were heading out on the final loop of the course. Rounding the corner onto the boardwalk, I knew the finish line was coming up. That last turn went head first into the wind and almost brought me to a complete stop. But I only had one thing on my mind – I just wanted to find my family to wave to them as I closed in on the finish line. I spotted Connor holding his "Finish Strong, Daddy" sign and waved to my fan-club-of-three as I crossed the finish line with a time of 3 hours 4 minutes and 17 seconds. Mission accomplished! Below is a video of me waving to my family as I finished the race.
Here are some photos from the race. I especially want to thank my family for their support, my running coach, Kyle Kranz whose plan helped me achieve my goal, the pacers and friends I made on the course, and all of my friends who have followed my progress leading up to this race.

You may want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM. Currently, you have 8GB but many of the PC games coming out are recommending you have a minimum of 16GB. If would be worth the upgrade :)

I would never suggest having only a single fan on a 120mm sealed cooler. Especially with an AMD cpu. They run hotter than Intel. Now consider your overclocking creating more heat. I would go with a 240mm sealed cooler, or one of the large air based cooler any time you overclock.
A sealed 120mm cooler with a single fan is not a lot better than a standard cooler. Once the water heats up so doe everything else. Moving more air across the radiator helps quite a bit.
If your shipping it, I would go with the ultra care packing option. It will help protect your system from UPS. Just look up some videos about their delivery.
If being shipped, I would also consider the extended warranty. It gets you a full year of free shipping instead of 30 days, in case you have any issues.
Never let CP overclock. They tend to just ramp up the voltage. Put that cash into the "tuning plan". This gets you a one time free cpu replacement should you fry it. Most all MOBO's have software included to do a moderate OC without having to get into the BIOS.
Remember valor, honor, independence, family & clan; I do whenever I hear the ceol mor, the "great music" of the Highland bagpipe. I swear upon the holy iron of my dirk that I will not forget.

Thanks for the suggestions! I ended up making a different order a few days ago in which i changed it to 240mm cooler and added 3 extra case fans. I also added the ultra care packing option; however, I didn't get the extended warranty and left the overclock on there.

Steady hand amid upheaval
In a week of upheaval in Australian politics, it was interesting to watch the leadership drama in Canberra from the idyllic north Queensland community of Palm Island, where the LGAQ Policy Executive met this week. It was the first time in the LGAQ's 122 history that its principal policy making body had formally gathered in an indigenous community. Palm Island, celebrating its centenary as a community this year, gave us a wonderful welcome.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Despite a strong finish to the regular trading session that capped a second straight positive week, stocks lost their footing in the extended-hour session.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.17% rose 103 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 8,018, while the Nasdaq $COMPQ reversed its downward course from earlier in the session, gaining 17 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 1,348.
But stocks couldn't hold onto their gains after the closing bell. At last check, the Nasdaq-100 After Hours Indicator, which tracks the evening trading activity of the index's leading technology stocks, was down nearly one point.
Blue-chip techs issues like Intel INTC, -1.12%, Cisco CSCO, -0.33% and Microsoft MSFT, -0.32% topped the most-actives list on the Island ECN, with Intel falling a penny from its 4 p.m. close, to $17.76, Cisco down 2 cents to $15.66 and Microsoft lower by 2 cents at $24.59.
Shares of Sun Microsystems, down 2 cents at $3.39, were also active as were shares of Nvidia NVDA, -1.91%, which rose 2 cents to $12.88.
Shares of business software group BEA Systems BEAS continued to move after the bell, but were unchanged from their 4 p.m. close of $10.63. The firm posted results late Thursday that largely met analyst expectations but, according to a report by Reuters, remained guarded in its near-term outlook.
The company also declined to give targets for its current 2004 fiscal year, citing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Specialty chemicals firm OM Group OMG, -2.82% also stayed active. At last check, the stock had jumped 20 cents to $9.25. The move came after Banc of America raised its rating on OM's shares to "buy" from "neutral," with a target price of $15. BofA says OM will need to fix its balance sheet and improve fundamentals in order to reach a fair valuation.
The stock rose 26 percent during the regular session.
Also moving were shares of SBC Communications SBC, +2.06%, the Baby Bell that could lose the most from the latest Federal Communications Commission ruling on the regulation of local phone markets. See Telecom Stocks.
SBC stock added as much as 21 cents in the extended-hours session, but most recently shares were trading unchanged from their 4 p.m. close of $20.73.

Africa is without a doubt the world's foremost safari destination and one of the last vestiges of the natural world - an eden where visitors can experience the elation of living in the wild, shrug off the mantel of civilization. inhale the pure sweet air and relax.
That said, not all African safari destinations are created equal, and while they're all spectacular in their own way, they do vary in terms of the experience you're likely to have.
We specialise in the iconic wildlife destinations of Southern and East Africa, for it is here, we believe, that a visitor can have a meaningful and immersive safari experience, combined with the safety and comforts that lead to an enjoyable and adventurous holiday.
Certain African wildlife safari destinations are easily accessible and perfect for a first time traveller, others require a bit more commitment and will see you forsaking some minor luxuries. Our experiences are authentic, our suggestions are appropriate - Africa will envelope you and touch your soul like no other place on earth.
The list below focuses exclusively on remote African wildlife safari countries, their key benefits and how they differ from one another. Greater detail of each of these African wildlife destinations can be found on the destinations tab in the main menu.
