With Pinot Grigio, that is certainly true. This group of wines, ranging from just under $10 to about $15, is really a nice representation of what to expect at this price point. There are a few winners, wines that can easily compete with bottles costing 50 percent more, but there are also a lot of duds here. Sometimes when we spend a little less hoping to save money, we end up with a lot less wine for our money. Shop carefully and you'll see that there are many values to be found in Pinot Grigio under $15 a bottle.
These wines are bursting with the trademark fresh fruit and bright character we all love in our Pinot Grigio. Even some $10 bottles can be delicious, but at this price point there are too many pitfalls to ignore, so shop carefully!

Softly fragrant on the nose with some light herb spice notes accenting the apricot, lime pith and heirloom apple fruit. Very clear and fresh in the mouth with integrated acidity supporting a slightly rounded mouthfeel. There's plenty of fresh fruit here, simple and pure with notes of pear and apricot brightening with a touch of lime pith on the back end. This is a modestly rich, nicely dry example of Pinot Grigio with some really attractive mineral and almond notes adding detail to the moderately long finish. This is rather refined and complex for Pinot Grigio. 89pts
2011 Willow Crest Pinot Gris Yakima Valley 13% $15
Hugely aromatic with some sulfur that needs to blow off. Under that this has intense citrus, passion fruit and melon aromas. Nicely balanced in the mouth and a bit towards the round side of things but with nice cut and a light mineral edge to the fruit. The intensity found on the nose does not quite translate to the palate, though this does have a lovely tangerine, honeydew and lightly exotic tropical fruit profile which is delightful if not terribly varietal. More apple fruit pops on the back end and settles in on the moderately long finish. This is a lovely rendition of Pinot Gris. 89pts
2010 Bargetto Regan Vineyard Pinot Grigio Santa Cruz Mtns 14.5% $15
Dry and dusty on the nose with lots of apple core and mineral aromas topped with a little sage and sorrel herbiness. Dry, small-scaled and precise on entry, this is a nicely scaled wine with richness and good acidity lending excellent balance. The flavors run towards Asian pear and heirloom apples here, with a little cashew thrown in for good measure. This finishes cleanly with more orchard fruit flavors that gain a light sweetness. 87pts
2011 Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio Delle Venezia 12.5% $12
Light and fresh on the nose with a mineral water top note over a nice base of citrus and green apple with a hint of peach. There's plenty to like here with juicy, mouthwatering acidity balanced by an edge of fleshiness. Succulent flavors of green apple, dried lemon pith and a touch of apricot all come together on the palate and play out on the rather long finish, which shows slight sweetness balancing out the acidity. A bit simple but well put together. 87pts

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis softball team used a pair of fine pitching performances and just enough offense to end their two contests early today as the Judges swept visiting Suffolk, 8-0 and 9-1, on Marcus Field. The wins are the sixth and seventh in a row for the Judges, who improve to 12-8 on the season, while the Rams fall to 9-15.
In game one, the story was senior hurler Caroline Miller (Bala Cynwyd, Pa./Harriton), who tossed Brandeis's first shutout of the season and the third of her career with a dominating performance. Of the 18 batters she faced, Miller struck out a career-high 12 of them, allowing just three Suffolk base runners. Miller fanned at least two in every inning, including striking out the side in the third and fourth. It was her second game with at least 10 Ks this season and the fourth of her career. Miller allowed just two hits, her season low, to improve to 6-4 on the campaign.
Offensively, the Judges were led by two other seniors, 1B Marianne Specker (So. Windsor, Conn.) and CF Lauren Porcaro (Shrewsbury, Mass./Shrewsbury), who both went 3-for-3 at the plate, accounting for six of the Judges' nine hits and five of their seven RBI. Porcaro had three RBI and a three-run home run in the Judges' five-run second inning. It was her team-leading third round tripper of the season and the 11th of her career. Specker finished with two RBI and two runs scored.
Suffolk got a lead-off single by rookie RF Sarah Chasse (Salem, Mass./Salem) to open the game and a one-out single in the fifth by sophomore pitcher Samantha McGilvray (Brighton, Mass./Boston Latin), but those were the Rams' only two hits. Chasse also walked in the third inning. McGilvray allowed nine hits and eight runs (six earned) to suffer the loss. She falls to 0-2 on the season.
Suffolk looked to turn around their luck early in the second game, as Chasse again led of the contest with a single. For the second game in a row, rookie Nicole Rosa (Wallingford, Conn./Lyman Hall) laid down a bunt, but a throwing error on the pitcher allowed Casse to score all the way from first as the ball sailed down the right-field line. Brandeis escaped further damage with a double play after Rosa tried to score on a grounder to short, but Specker's relay home was in plenty of time.
The Rams threatened again in the top of the second, when rookie starting pitcher Alicia Gonnella (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) led off with a double. On a McGilvray grounder to third, however, Brandeis was able to cut down the lead runner to keep their deficit to one run.
The Judges exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the third, when they were able to take advantage of five costly errors by the visitors. Brandeis had three extra-base hits in the frame, including an RBI double by senior SS Brittany Grimm (Perkiomenville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley), a two-run home run by Specker, and an RBI double by sophomore 2B Leah McWilliams (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial). With her four RBI on the day, Specker now has a team-leading 27 for the season and 97 for her career. She needs three more to become the sixth player in Brandeis history with 100 career RBI.
Brandeis got the walk-off hit in the bottom of the fifth inning when senior RF Ali Theodore (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) dropped a single to center field that plated pinch-runner Casey Ducinski (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury). The hit made a winner of sophomore hurler Melissa Nolan (Windsor, Conn./Loomis Chaffee), who improved to 4-1 on the season. She allowed five hits – four coming in the first two innings – and one unearned runs. Nolan struck out six and walked two. Brandeis had four players with two hits each: Grimm, McWilliams, Theodore and rookie DP Amanda Genovese (North Haven, Conn./North Haven).
For Suffolk, Chasse had two hits, while Gonnella's double was the Rams' only extra-base hit of the day. She suffered the loss in the circle, allowing nine hits and nine runs – only three of which were earned – while striking out two.
The Judges return to action Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. against Endicott College for a doubleheader, while Suffolk plays a single game against UMass Boston tomorrow at 4 p.m.

text: The weather would seem to favor Washingto's power running game. But weather didn't trump Lansing's talent and coaching. So while a cold, soggy football put a few hiccups in the Lions' offensive attack Friday, Lansing figured things out and pulled away with a 40-18 win. A win next week against Schlagle will punch their ticket to the playoffs, which start the first week of November. The turning point Friday came mid-way through the third quarter, after a water-logged pigskin sailed on quarterback Krystian Abbott and found the hands of Washington's Deron Kirkwood, who returned the interception for a score and cut Lansing's lead to 20-12. Following the turnover, Lansing's third through the air, head coach Bill Pekarek turned more conservative, opting to run first and pass second. It paid immediate dividends. After Khalil Bailey took the kickoff all the way down to Washington's 20-yard line, junior running back Colin McQuillan took the first-down handoff outside the left tackle for a score. From that point, McQuillan chewed up yards running to the outside. Lansing also stopped turning it over, and for maybe the first time this year the run set up the pass. McQuillan carried it 17 times for 154 yards and two touchdowns. "We decided to run it more outside (in the second half), and McQuillan bounced out there and had success," Pekarek said. "Their right defensive side might've been their weaker side (so we decided to run it to our left more)." The lone touchdown Lansing would allow going forward came in mop-up time on the final play of the game. Lansing's defensive unit had its best performance this season, limiting Washington to a 3-for-12 third down coversion rate, and 0-for-3 on fourth downs. Many of those conversion attempts came in short-yardage situations. "We figured if we could stop their run, we would make them throw," said senior middle linebacker Hector Porter. Washington never mounted an air threat, allowing the Lions to hone in and stuff the Wildcats at the line of scrimmage. Lansing struck for the first two scores, the first on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Abbott to Kenneth Banks on 4th and long. For their second score, Lansing ran a wide receiver screen to Khalil Bailey, who took it 41-yards for his metro-leading 14th touchdown. He would score another in the fourth quarter on a long ball from Abbott. Bailey finished with six receptions for 171 yards and two touchdowns, with a lost fumble on a punt return. Abbott went 13-25 for 294 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. Lansing took a 20-6 lead to halftime. The interception touchdown return early in the third made it a one-score game, but Lansing responded with McQuillan's quick strike two plays later, and never looked back.

Egypt approves constitution, election commission reports
CAIRO – The head of Egypt's election commission says the new constitution has passed with a 63.8 percent "yes" vote in a referendum.
According to official results announced Tuesday, 32.9 percent of voters participated.
The announcement turns the Islamist-drafted charter into the country's first constitution after the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak out of office after nearly 30 years of authoritarian rule.
The opposition had campaigned against the constitution, charging that it will usher in Islamic rule in Egypt and restrict freedoms. It has vowed to challenge the results.
Judge Samir Abou el-Maati, the head of the electoral commission, denied allegations that judicial supervision was lacking in the vote.
The official results closely mirror unofficial results announced by the Muslim Brotherhood, the main group that backed the charter.

Pena family once again represented in KC
KANSAS CITY -- Another member of the Tony Pena family is joining the Royals.
Catcher Francisco Pena, son of former Kansas City manager Tony Pena and brother of former Royals player Tony Pena Jr., has signed a Major League contract with the organization and was added to the 40-man roster, the club announced Sunday. He was a Minor League free agent.
KANSAS CITY -- Another member of the Tony Pena family is joining the Royals.
Catcher Francisco Pena, son of former Kansas City manager Tony Pena and brother of former Royals player Tony Pena Jr., has signed a Major League contract with the organization and was added to the 40-man roster, the club announced Sunday. He was a Minor League free agent.
Pena, 24, has spent his seven-year career in the Mets' farm system and divided last year between Triple-A Las Vegas and Double-A Binghamton. In 68 games for Las Vegas, he batted .257 with 15 doubles, nine homers and 39 RBIs. He caught 57 games, making just four errors and throwing out 15 of 50 runners on base-stealing attempts.
Also known as "Frankie," Pena is a right-handed hitter who batted .236 in 593 Minor League games for the Mets with 40 homers and 243 RBIs.
"We've got a long history with him, from the time he was an amateur and signed with the Mets," said J.J. Picollo, Royals assistant general manager-scouting and player development. "Most recently, he had played on that [Dominican World Baseball Classic] team and we got a look at him there and throughout his Minor League career.
"He's currently playing in the Dominican Winter League and he's really catching exceptionally well. He's got a good feel for the game, he's a smart kid. Defensively, we think he's well above average and offensively he's put up some solid numbers. And he's still young."
His father Tony was a former catcher who managed the Royals in 2002-05, compiling a 198-285 record before resigning in May 2005. Before this year, Pena's 2003 team had the Royals' only winning record (83-79) since 1994. He has been the Yankees' bench coach for the last five years.
Tony Pena Jr. was the Royals' regular shortstop in 2007, batting .267, but then went to a utility role for the next two years and decided to become a pitcher. This year, he posted a 5-8 record in 33 games (nine starts) for the White Sox's Triple-A club at Charlotte.
Tony Jr., called "T.J.," and Frankie are teammates on the Aguilas team in the Dominican.
"[I was] just down there last week and it was kind of funny watching T.J. close a game out pitching to his brother," Picollo said.
Pena becomes the fourth catcher on the Royals' 40-man roster, joining All-Star Salvador Perez, backup George Kottaras and Brett Hayes.
"He's been at Triple-A so we're putting him on the roster. He's somebody we expect to compete at the Major League level here in the near future," Picollo said.
At about 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Picollo compared him in size with former Royals catcher John Buck.
"He can throw, blocks well, receives well, he's pretty aggressive in using his arm," Picollo said. "We got a chance to see him a bunch in winter ball this year and he's picked a couple guys off first base. He's throwing the ball well according to all the guys that have seen him."
With 39 players on the roster, the Royals and other clubs have an 11 p.m. CT deadline on Wednesday to decide which Minor Leaguers they want to protect from possibly being taken in the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 12 at the Winter Meetings.
"Right now, as we stand, we've only got one roster spot available and we're going in meetings [Monday] to try to sort through this for the next couple days," Picollo said.

- Mojo
- Item Level 20
- Binds when picked up
- Unique
- Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Mojo is a rare blue frog small pet.
To obtain Mojo, you must use an Amani Hex Stick on a Forest Frog in Zul'Aman and be lucky. When you use the stick on a frog it will almost always turn into a humanoid who may be a limited-supply vendor or may drop a chest with loot the raid can roll on. Infrequently, the result will be instead that you receive Mojo, and the summoning item appears in your inventory without raid rolls: Score! The emote when freeing Mojo reads as follow: Mojo leaps into <Rescuer's> pocket!.
If you /kiss Mojo, he will whisper you one of several different phrases and you will be polymorphed into a frog for 15 seconds.
Druids in Outland or Northrend can /kiss Mojo while in flight form and turn into a frog and fly around in it.
- I thought you'd never ask!
- This won't take long, did it?
- I promise not to give you warts...
- There's just never enough Mojo to go around...
- Your lily pad or mine?
- Now that's what I call froggy-style!
- Feelin' a little froggy, are ya?
- Listen, <character name>, I know of a little swamp not too far from here...
Patches and hotfixesEdit
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): This mini-pet's behavior was altered. If you are mounted, you will be dismounted when he polymorphs you into a frog.
Hotfix (2008-01-27): It was possible to blow a /kiss to Prigmon and he would reply, "Feel'n a little froggy, are ya?" after giving players a Mojo small pet. This method of acquiring the pet has been disabled.

Humans may be the most complex living organisms on earth, but their genome is dwarfed in size by the loblolly pine.
The tree's genome -- seven times longer than the human genome -- recently become the longest genome ever sequenced, thanks to a group of hard-working plant scientists.
"It's a huge genome," David Neale, a professor of plant sciences at the University of California, Davis, told redOrbit. "But the challenge isn't just collecting all the sequence data. The problem is assembling that sequence into order."
Neale led the effort to sequence the genome and detailed the team's findings in articles published in the latest issues of both GENETICS and the journal Genome Biology.
Neale and his colleagues hope their work will help scientists better understand how plants evolve. Their research may also help tree experts breed new and improved loblolly pines -- the hardy tree accounts for the vast majority of America's paper products, and is being developed as a new biofuel source.
"Loblolly pine plays an important role in American forestry," said Sonny Ramaswamy, director of USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture -- the agency that funded the research project. "Now that we've unlocked its genetic secrets, loblolly pine will take on even greater importance as we look for new sources of biomass to drive our nation's bioeconomy and ways to increase carbon sequestration and mitigate climate change."
The project has been ongoing since 2012, but now that scientists have found more efficient computerized techniques for sorting through the massive amounts of genetic data, scientists say they'll soon be able to sequence even larger genomes.

CANTON, N.Y.—The Norwich University football team improved to 2-0 with a 20-7 non-conference victory against St. Lawrence University on Saturday afternoon. With the loss, the Saints fall to 0-2.
The Cadets wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as the Cadets used 14 plays to travel 75 yards in the first half, allowing Danny Triplett (Haverhill, Mass.) to run a one-yard touchdown rush to give the Cadets a 6-0 advantage at the 8:24 mark.
A blocked extra-point attempt would give St. Lawrence a chance to take the lead, and with 38 seconds remaining in the first quarter Mike Tatiosian caught a seven-yard pass from St. Lawrence quarterback Zane Fish to even the score. A good extra-point attempt gave the Saints the 7-6 lead entering the second quarter.
Norwich dominated the second quarter, reclaiming the 13-7 lead on a six play, 80 yard drive. Kris Sabourin (Georgia, Vt.) started the drive with a 12 yard rush to bring the Cadets to their own 32-yard line. On 2-10, Derrick Pitts (Schenectady, N.Y.) found an opening to run for 63 yards, bringing the Cadets to the St. Lawrence five-yard line. Back-to-back rushes by Triplett would bring the Cadets to the one-yard line, where junior running back Mike Cavanaugh (Raymond, N.H.) would get the handoff for a one-yard touchdown run. Patrick Wilson (West Rupert, Vt.) connected on the extra-point attempt.
The Cadets would extend their lead to 20-7 two possessions later on an 87 yard drive that started with a 30-yard rush by Sabourin and was capped by an 11-yard touchdown reception by Zach Allen (Boston, Mass.). Wilson again connected on the extra-point to cap scoring for the afternoon.
A scoreless second half would finalize the score at 20-7 Norwich. Offensively, Sabourin finished the afternoon passing at 4-9 with one interception. He also totaled 67 yards rushing for an average of 6.7 yards-per-rush. Pitts posted a game-high 117 yards rushing and averaged 7.3 yards-per-carry. Tripplett added 86 rushing yards for the Cadets offense.
Allen totaled two catches for a total of 17 yards and one touchdown, while Pitts also notched a reception for 10 yards.
Defensively, the Cadets were led by Matt Simonelli (Scituate, R.I.) and Dane Pallatto (Westbrook, Conn.) who both totaled six tackles apiece. Nick Pulaski (Stratford, Conn.)and Ethan Hanks (Hull, Mass.) both added five tackles each, while Pulaski notched a sack.
St. Lawrence quarterback Fish finished 21-49 on passing attempts with one touchdown and a long of 29 yards. Tateosian totaled 68 yards on eight receptions and an average of 8.5 yards per catch. Maurice Irby led the Saints' rushing efforts with 36 yards on 13 attempts. Fish totaled 33 rushing yards on eight attempts.
The Saints' defense was led by Joe Napolitano who totaled a game-high 14 tackles. Jeremy Ramos added 12 tackles for the Saints, while Taylor Zappia was credited with 10 tackles, including 2.5 tackles-for-loss. Rajiv Heron took credit for the Saints' lone sack.
The Cadets will be back in action next Saturday, Sept. 15 when they host WPI in non-conference action at 2:00 p.m. as part of Norwich Homecoming Weekend.

New Platform, New Models
New Platform, New Models
Every revision of Intel's popular Centrino mobile platform is generally greeted with a thorough refresh of existing models from notebook vendors. The reason is rather simple. Intel's consistent use of the Centrino branding notwithstanding, each Centrino 'revision' involves a host of changes, from increased FSB support to newer processors and even reworked wireless and graphics chipsets. With such significant changes, the current and fourth revision, Santa Rosa is vastly different from the first Pentium M based Centrino notebook that debuted in 2003.
Intel has managed to keep these revisions coming along at a brisk pace, with the latest Santa Rosa platform coming slightly more than a year after the previous platform, Napa. Some of the changes are incremental, including draft-n support in the new wireless chipset Kedron and an increase in FSB to 800MHz. Others like the new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and Dynamic Acceleration technology have much potential to improve performance while reducing power consumption. Then there are the disappointments like Intel Turbo Memory that have yet to be widely adopted by vendors. In short, it's a mixed bag of technologies from the market leader.
Given its market clout, it's not surprising that vendors have come out in full support of the new platform. The Centrino branding is very powerful in the mobile arena and most consumers are aware of the name, though they may not be certain of its details. Coupled with the timing of the release of the new Windows Vista operating system early this year, demand looks good for these new notebooks and vendors have not been slow to react with their new Santa Rosa notebooks. We have previously seen such notebooks from HP and MSI and now you can add BenQ to the list. The Taiwanese manufacturer known for its affordable but decently powered models has a recent red dot award winner thanks to the new Joybook S41. Can it upset its more illustrious competitors with the bigger marketing dollars and brand recognition?

Neuroasis created a small group of visual-only sessions for the Procyon DeepVision ganzware. If you are interested in flicker induced visual imagery, these are, in my opinion, generate the most complex visual imagery I've ever experienced with AVS. And, they're free! You can download them from the Procyon support page:
Updated 01-16-2018 at 07:00 PM by Andy
(Link updated.)
Hello, all--
We've just started shipping our new DeepVision glasses for the Procyon; these are basically identical to the Kasina version, except in that case, the LEDs on the right side are in opposite phase to those on the left.
Scott has been working on a batch of sessions intended for use with the DV, with intense visual imagery as the main goal. And in my experience with them, he's achieved that goal.
Though I tend to keep brightness at maximum
Chris Payne (LifeTools UK) has posted a video he made in the 1990s, which features our old MindLab and Esprit light and sound systems. Nice 'blast from the past' for those of you interested in our history, and that of the AVS field in general. (Thanks, Andy, for bringing this to my attention):
Greetings, all--
We've recently learned that Carrie Searley, producer at UK-pop.com, has created a Procyon review for their upcoming TV series, "The Unearthly Hour", which she has just posted on youtube.
She makes the interesting suggestion that the somewhat psychedelic imagery that most of us see when using the Procyon (and other AVS systems) is due to the lights causing the pineal gland to produce small amounts of DMT in the brain...
Imagine using your Procyon or Kasina to turn an entire wall, ceiling, chill room into an open-eyes full color mind machine... or having several people simultaneously share the brightest 'eyes-closed' experience imaginable. Well, now you can do that with our new MindPlace Environmental Lighting System (MELS). We have one set up in our office, and it's most impressive.
It consists of a custom-designed, 72 watt power supply and a high powered RGB LED array, plus required connecting
We've created a new SoundCloud Group for SpectraStrobe-encoded material. This currently includes bonus Kasina tracks from Craig Tice and some user-contributed sessions by our artist-user, Thalassa1. We may be creating a separate channel for user-contributed Kasina sessions as well, so stay posted.... You can find the group here:
Currently the Group is moderated, so if you have a SoundCloud
Our latest light and sound system has finally entered production! Nearly three years in the making, the Kasina features a built in MP3 player, color LCD display, rechargeable lithium battery, a micro SD card slot and an 8 GB memory card. The GanzFrames are a new design, featuring three blue, two green and one red LED per eye, for a richer, more intense visual experience.
The audio files are encoded with a proprietary new technology called SpectraStrobe?, which enables independent
Craig Tice (CraigT) has given us permission to share some of his AudioStrobe-encoded audio tracks, which you can find at www.soundcloud.com/mindplace. He's taken a different approach to AS encoding than Scott Hendrickson: Scott wrote his own audio software plug-ins for this purpose, while Craig uses Mind Workstation (and these tracks are great illustrations of how you could use MWS to create your own content). Craig uses modulated noise to make the AS tracks, lending them a somewhat 'fizzy' or
Scott Hendrickson (Neuroasis) has just released another of his fine new series of MindPlace tutorials on our YouTube channel. This time around, it's an introduction to the Procyon Editor software, and he walks you through the process of creating your own Procyon sessions, including how to use the powerful 'looping' feature. Highly recommended?this is a 'must see' video if you are interested in making your own sessions. Thanks, Scott!
I've uploaded a new batch of videos to our Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/TheMindplace) - this time, the Neurotechnology Forum lecture by Dr. Len Ochs. Len is a highly regarded biofeedback pioneer, and in this lecture he discusses (among other things) an EEG-driven light and sound system that he was using in his clinical practice. This is similar to the equipment used by Dr. Harold Russell in clinical studies involving the treatment of ADHD, which were funded by the US Department of Education.

MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS Giles R. Meikle
Partner, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells Vancouver Office
Presented before the Canadian Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists, Jasper, Alberta-May 1974
Volumes have been written and countless words spoken on the subjects of business management and cost analysis. Every businessman's needs are different, and therefore, of necessity, most speakers and writers make their points in general terms rather than in specifics. I have tried to get a feel for your business, its problems and potential and relate them to experiences encountered over the past few years in dealings with clients. My objective is to bring to you an awareness of the advantages of knowing where you want to go and how you are going to get there, together with an exposure to the tools that will assist you in determining whether you are keeping on the right track and attaining goals at various points along the way.
Before getting into the specifics of planning and analyzing, let us consider for a moment the environment in which we all find ourselves and try to relate that to the environment in which your businesses exist and into which they are headed.
The growth industries in the next thirty years are likely to emerge from the knowledge technologies of the last half century. The continuity of technology and industrial development of the past fifty years is likely to be replaced by a series of major new industrial developments akin to those that occurred every few years in the closing decades of the last century. We are on the threshold of a knowledge society. Knowledge is beginning to replace capital as the major and scarcest resource in our economy. It is the key factor in the country's international economic strength, and it has become increasingly pervasive as shown by the information industry. Since knowledge skills are also varying skills, people that have them also have sufficient flexibility to learn and relearn new skills as required.
In his recent book The Age of Discontinuity, Peter Drucker states that
every single technology, and with it, every industry, before 1850, was based on experience. Knowledge, that is systematic, purposeful, organized information, had

Beverage producer eliminated relubrication and saved €15 500 with SKF Food Line Y-bearing units
The challenge
The SKF solutionDesigned for relubrication free operation under the most harsh high pressure washdown and highly humid operating conditions, SKF Food Line Y-bearing units offered an excellent solution for the soft drink production process.
The resultsThe units eliminated the need for frequent planned relubrication, and the potential for grease leakage. The units also helped the drinks producer meet HACCP hygiene requirements while achieving 100% operating reliability. Costs for labour and grease were reduced, while removing the risk of unplanned downtime resulting from missed lubrication points. The SKF Food Line Y-bearing units also made it easy for the soft drink manufacturing plant personnel to perform visual inspections for cleanliness.
Annual maintenance cost savings
(excluding downtime cost savings): €15 500
Note: All numbers are rounded off and based on customer estimates. Your particular cost savings may vary.

Secret - Easier Damage
A good way to quickly beat someone is to hit them until they're on the ropes, then punch them a few more times, so they'll bounce off the ropes without falling over. Then when they're up against the ropes, grapple them to knock them to the outside. Here, knock them down and then strike them while they're down (they'll stay down for longer on the outside too). Use the environment (apron, stairs etc) to further damage them, and even get them in a grapple at around the 7 count, then roll back into the ring at the 9 count, so they get counted out for an easy win. If they roll back into the ring beforehand, you can repeat the process do deal them more damage easily and possibly get another chance to count them out.

Rapper Snoop Dogg's new "Smokable Songbook" literally exemplifies higher learning.
Already having published a novel and autobiography, Snoop Dogg's latest book is a collection of lyrics and deep thoughts printed on smokable rolling papers.
"Always remember, you can roll with an expert, you can roll with Snoop," he said in the book's promo video.
"Rolling Words: A Smokable Songbook" is bound together with hemp. Its strike board spine can be used to light matches.
Aside from reading purposes, Snoop Dogg said in his promo video that the book "can also be smoked with some of your finest wherever you at or however you at."
Included in the book are lyrics to his classic songs "Gin & Juice," "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" printed on perforated papers using nontoxic ink.
The smokable book also comes with "Snoop Dogg King Size Slim Rolling Papers," which are available for separate purchase on Amazon.
In the past, Snoop Dogg has endorsed the Colt 45 alcoholic beverage, gum products, Chronic Candy (marijuana-flavored sweets), pet accessories and Norton antivirus computer software.
Snoop Dogg's marijuana-related run-ins with the law – his most recent arrest was in January – don't seem to have deterred him from creating smokable products.

Following is text from Executive Order No. 9066, signed by President Roosevelt on February 19, 1942:
WHEREAS the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage, . . . I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of War . . . to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he may determine, from which any or all persons may be excluded, and with such respect to which, the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions the Secretary of War or the appropriate Military Commander may impose in his discretion. The Secretary of War is hereby authorized to provide for residents of any such area who are excluded therefrom, such transportation, food, shelter, and other accommodations as may be necessary . . . to accomplish the purpose of this order.
Questions for Reading 1
1. Based on the headlines, what do you think people living in Los Angeles were afraid of? What do you think W. H. Anderson meant when he said: "A viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched"?
2. What words were used to refer to people of Japanese ancestry? How do you think the words differ? For most Japanese, the word "Jap" was and is highly offensive. Why do you think it was used so often?
3. If you were a Japanese American living in Los Angeles, how would you react to these headlines?
4. Walter Lippmann was a highly respected correspondent for the New York Tribune, who had just returned to the East after a visit to California. What facts did he cite as justification for his conclusion that a Japanese "fifth column," or spy network, existed on the Pacific Coast? Japanese submarines were patrolling off the California coast, but neither the Federal Bureau of Investigation nor the Federal Communications Commission could find any evidence of communication from the shore. Why do you think officials and others were so willing to believe that Japanese living on the West Coast were signaling the submarines? Why do you think Lippmann said that the fact that no sabotage has occurred proved that it would?
5. Why do you think Executive Order 9066 never mentions the Japanese, even though they are the people most directly affected?
6. How do these headlines compare to newspaper or television coverage of events occurring today?
The headlines in Reading 1 were compiled from The Los Angeles Times, Dec. 1941-Feb. 1942. The text of Executive Order 9066 is taken from "War Relocation Authority Camps in Arizona, 1942-1946" on-line exhibit.

I find that RememberTheMilk is great for keeping track of what I should be doing but I also like to keep track of what I'm actually doing -- where the time actually goes. Right now, I'm using pen & paper which is starting to feel a bit quaint to me. (Querying seems to involve more paper cuts that suits me.) I'd like to find a web app which can keep this data for me -- bonus points if it syncs to desktop/phone/etc.
Edit: I'm not really looking for a time tracker -- just somewhere that I can enter what I'm working on. A time-tracker seems like (a) overkill and (b) something that might keep track of what I'm doing on my PC but not "meeting with KK & JK re: Project Boofus."

Fans are in for a treat tonight as Fox Soccer Channel, for the fourth time in five years, airs Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara in a showcase of the nation's greatest college men's soccer rivalry.
For the two towns on the Central Coast, separated by just 90 miles on Highway 101, it's already a natural rivalry based on geographical proximity. Each school brings intensity, desire and toughness no matter what the sport.
But unquestionably the men's soccer rivalry between the Mustangs and Gauchos has evolved into a different stratosphere. Three of the top-10 most attended games in NCAA history have featured Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara with crowds in excess of 11,000 people. Of the top 25 best-attended regular season matches in the history of collegiate soccer, nine of those belong to the Central Coast combatants.
In fact, last year's matchup at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium – which also attracted the Fox Soccer Channel cameras – drew 13,822 spectators to rank No. 5 all-time on the NCAA list.
The Gaucho faithful get another chance to pack Harder Stadium and turn it into a sea of blue and gold tonight.
But how did the rivalry develop so quickly? All nine of the games on the NCAA top-25 list have occurred since 2007.
UC Santa Barbara's ascension to the top of the college soccer world was one factor. The Gauchos won the national championship in 2006 and also appeared in the 2004 national championship match while becoming a perennial top-10 program under head coach Tim Vom Steeg.
The other part of the equation was the arrival of Paul Holocher to the Cal Poly campus seven years ago. Holocher envisioned establishing the same excitement and anticipation within the student body and surrounding community that his neighbors to the south had enjoyed. The Mustang head coach set out to develop positive relationships with the youth soccer community and organized several coaching and player clinics for the local soccer clubs.
If you build it, they will come. Figuratively and literally. In 2007, the school renovated one side of Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Holocher and the administration decided to host a "Break The Attendance" record night against UC Santa Barbara.
"The previous record for a Cal Poly soccer event was around 3,000. That evening we got over 7,000 people (officially 7,143), we beat UCSB 2-1 and there was a lot of excitement around it. And so we went the next year and the game was sold out," said Holocher. "It's grown a little bit each year. Now there's no doubt it's the biggest sporting event on the Central Coast each year. People mark it on their calendar."
Vom Steeg agrees that 2007 was a pivotal year.
"That year in particular really has set up what we have today, which is a game that most fans and students feel like they can't miss because something is going to happen on the field which is going to be great and they want to be part of it," said Vom Steeg, in his 14th season at UCSB.
"The rivalry really got going in earnest when Paul became head coach. Paul came along and really ramped up particularly the game up at Cal Poly. I think it also might have been a reflection of us having won a national championship and going up there as a highly ranked team, and that set the energy up there to bring lots of people to the game."
Vom Steeg paused.
"We then turned around and not to be outdone, when we returned that game back to Santa Barbara our goal was to beat that number that had attended up at Cal Poly."
Sure enough, the Gauchos drew 8,102 fans to Harder Stadium on Nov. 3, 2007.
The next season – on Oct. 17, 2008, Cal Poly registered the first men's soccer sellout in Spanos Stadium history when 11,075 flooded through the gates.
And now?
"It's gotten to the point now where I've heard of people driving in from different states to come and watch the game," said Holocher. "I know people have come from Arizona; I know people have flew in from Hawaii. That's how much excitement there is around this rivalry."
Vom Steeg knows firsthand how rabid Cal Poly is in indoctrinating its students to the whole rivalry experience. His nephew attends Cal Poly.
"At orientation they basically say there are only three things you need to do before you leave to Cal Poly. On that list is attend a UCSB-Cal Poly soccer game. So it starts from the minute the freshmen are going through orientation."
Vom Steeg also points out that the rivalry attracts more than just students, faculty and the community. It has gotten the attention of everyone around the country, including coaches and general managers from Major League Soccer.
"What it (the rivalry) has done is make it a talking point around the country. It highlights the Big West Conference. It's a game in which if you were a coach or general manager of a professional MLS team, you want to see players perform in an environment that's similar to Major League Soccer," said Vom Steeg. "And you're going to get that when Cal Poly plays UCSB."
With so much talk about the buildup – the colors, the face paint, the chanting, the singing that goes on at both venues – the action on the field must satisfy the overall fan experience too.
And it does.
UC Santa Barbara defeated Cal Poly 2-0 to close out the 2011 regular season. It broke a streak of nine consecutive meetings between the two programs that were either tied or decided by one goal.
Players from both programs circle this game on their calendars too. They enjoy the rivalry immensely, especially paying a visit to the other's field.
UCSB senior defender Peter McGlynn was a freshman in 2008 when Cal Poly sold out Spanos Stadium. He has seen firsthand how the rivalry continues to grow.
"Over the years it has been unbelievable. Their stadium is amazing for atmosphere, the way the fans kind of look down on you a bit. The buzz you get from it, you can tell the players just want to give 100 percent," said McGlynn. "There's a lot of pride at stake when you play each other. I feel with the crowds that each team gets, it's about bragging rights for the Central Coast to win that game."
Cal Poly junior defender Connor Dreschler has witnessed the rivalry too. He noted that he was sold on his recruiting trip to Cal Poly as a senior in high school after seeing green and gold everywhere in the stands.
"There's no bigger rush of adrenaline that I've ever had in any game. It's amazing to see the entire place filled," said Dreschler. "As a soccer player, you look to play in front of big crowds like that because it's not very often you get that opportunity."
He added, "It's awesome that the schools of Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara come out and support us like that and the communities really get behind it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
And he relishes playing at Santa Barbara, where six crowds in excess of 10,000 have attended games at Harder since 2004. The fans there can be intimidating and the passion is undeniable.
"It's all part of the experience," said Dreschler on the colorful UCSB fans. "It's enjoyable. I know they're trying to get in your head and they say stuff that isn't the nicest in the world. It's all in good fun."
So tonight begins another chapter in a heated, intense battle between two programs that don't need any motivation to play each other. But there might be a little extra in tow.
Both teams enter tied for third place in the four-team Big West North Division – both 3-2-1 with 10 points and four games to play. Both trailing division leader Sacramento State (4-1-1, 13 points) and second place UC Davis (4-2-0, 12 points).
Only the top two teams from the North Division will advance to the Big West Tournament in early November. More than just bragging rights are on the line.
The fans will be the lucky recipients. Halloween just came early on the Central Coast. They're in for a treat.

Every Star Wars Movie Ranked From Worst to First
When I was a kid there were three Star Wars movies. When I was a teenager, there were six. Now there are 11, thanks to this week's release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with more coming every single year. (Next up: Boba Fett!) Under Disney's ownership, Star Wars has expanded into an entire cinematic universe. Or at least a galaxy. So why not rank them all?
The only rule for inclusion on this list was theatrical films only. It didn't seem fair to compare Rogue One to Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. Maybe we should have (Caravan did play in theaters in Europe, after all) but we didn't. (Count your blessings, Rogue One! You're lucky.) These are specifically the 11 theatrical Star Wars features, from worst to first. We can rank the TV stuff another time. (1: The Star Wars Holiday Special, 2: Everything Else.)
You may not agree with my list. (Based on a highly scientific poll on Twitter, the odds are very good you will not agree my list.) And that's totally okay. As long as you agree that Attack of the Clones is the worst prequel. If we've got in common, we're going to be just fine.

Rietveld Refinement, Rietveld Analysis, Rietveld Technique, Rietveld Calculation,
Quantitative Phase Analysis
"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought."
Albert von Szent-Györgyi (Nobel prize-winner in 1937)
are essential to our technological society: semiconductors in the
electronic industry, zeolites as catalysts in the petrochemical
industry, ceramics in medicine and engineering, and, possibly in the
future, high-temperature superconductors in electrical engineering.....
In order to understand the properties of these materials and to improve them, the atomic structure has to be known. An effective way to do this is by means of diffraction techniques using neutrons from nuclear reactors and particle accelerators or X-rays from X-ray tubes and synchrotrons. The single crystal diffraction technique, using relatively large crystals of the material, gives a set of separate data from which the structure can be obtained.
However, most materials of technical interest cannot grow large crystals, so one has to resort to the powder diffraction technique using material in the form of very small crystallites. The drawback of this conventional powder method is that the diffraction peaks grossly overlap, thereby preventing proper determination of the structure. The "Rietveld Method" creates a virtual separation of these overlapping peaks, thereby allowing an accurate determination of the structure.
The method has been so successful that nowadays the structure of materials, in the form of powders, is routinely being determined, nearly as accurately as the results obtained by single crystal diffraction techniques. An even more widely used application of the method is in determining the components of chemical mixtures. This quantitative phase analysis is now routinely used in industries ranging from cement factories to the oil industry.
The success of the method can be gauged by the publication of more than four thousand scientific papers yearly using it:

Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries make changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat or by reducing the absorption of nutrients, or both. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.
There are many types of weight-loss surgery, known collectively as bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery in the United States. Many surgeons prefer gastric bypass surgery because it generally has fewer complications than do other weight-loss surgeries.
Still, all forms of weight-loss surgery, including gastric bypass, are major procedures that can pose serious risks and side effects. Also, you must make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.
Gastric bypass surgery is done to help you lose excess weight and reduce your risk of potentially life-threatening weight-related health problems, including:
Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are typically done only after you've tried to lose weight by improving your diet and exercise habits.
In general, gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries could be an option for you if:
But gastric bypass isn't for everyone who is severely overweight. You may need to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. You likely will have an extensive screening process to see if you qualify. You must also be willing to make permanent changes to lead a healthier lifestyle. You may be required to participate in long-term follow-up plans that include monitoring your nutrition, your lifestyle and behavior, and your medical conditions.
And keep in mind that bariatric surgery is expensive. Check with your health insurance plan or your regional Medicare or Medicaid office to find out if your policy covers such surgery.
As with any major surgery, gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries pose potential health risks, both in the short term and long term.
Risks associated with the surgical procedure can include:
Longer term risks and complications of weight-loss surgery vary depending on the type of surgery. They can include:
If you qualify for gastric bypass or other weight-loss surgeries, your health care team gives you instructions on how to prepare for your specific type of surgery. You may need to have various lab tests and exams before surgery. You may have restrictions on eating and drinking and which medications you can take. You may be required to start a physical activity program and to stop any tobacco use.
You may also need to prepare by planning ahead for your recovery after surgery. For instance, arrange for help at home if you think you'll need it.
Gastric bypass and other types of weight-loss surgery are done in the hospital. General anesthesia is used for weight-loss surgery. This means you're unconscious during the procedure.
The specifics of your surgery depend on your individual situation, the type of weight-loss surgery you have, and the hospital's or doctor's practices. Some weight-loss surgeries are done with traditional large, or open, incisions in your abdomen. Today, most types of bariatric surgery are performed laparoscopically. A laparoscope is a small, tubular instrument with a camera attached. The laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The tiny camera on the tip of the laparoscope allows the surgeon to see and operate inside your abdomen without making the traditional large incisions. Laparoscopic surgery can make your recovery faster and shorter, but it's not suitable for everyone.
Surgery usually takes several hours. After surgery, you awaken in a recovery room, where medical staff monitors you for any complications. Your hospital stay may last from three to five days.
Each type of bariatric surgery has pros and cons. Be sure to talk to your doctor about them. Here's a look at common types of bariatric surgery:
Which type of weight-loss surgery is best for you depends on your specific situation. Your surgeon will take many factors into account, including your body mass index, your eating habits, your health problems, any previous surgery and the risks of each procedure.
After gastric bypass and other types of weight-loss surgery, you generally won't be allowed to eat for one to two days so that your stomach and digestive system can heal. Then, you'll follow a specific diet for about 12 weeks. The diet begins with liquids only, then progresses to ground-up or soft foods, and finally to regular foods. You may have many restrictions or limits on how much and what you can eat and drink.
You'll also have frequent medical checkups to monitor your health in the first several months after weight-loss surgery. You may need laboratory testing, blood work and various exams.
You may experience changes as your body reacts to the rapid weight loss in the first three to six months after gastric bypass or other weight-loss surgery, including:
Gastric bypass and other bariatric surgeries can provide long-term weight loss. The amount of weight you lose depends on your type of surgery and your change in lifestyle habits. It may be possible to lose half, or even more, of your excess weight within two years.
In addition to weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may improve or resolve conditions often related to being overweight, including:
Gastric bypass surgery can also improve your ability to perform routine daily activities, which could help improve your quality of life.
Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries don't always work as well as you might have hoped. For one thing, although rare, something during or after the procedure itself may go wrong. For instance, the adjustable band may fail to work properly. If a weight-loss procedure doesn't work right or stops working, you may not lose weight and you may develop serious health problems. Keep all of your scheduled follow-up appointments after weight-loss surgery. If you notice that you aren't losing weight or you develop complications, see your doctor immediately. Your weight loss can be monitored and factors potentially contributing to your lack of weight loss evaluated.
It's also possible to not lose enough weight or to regain weight after any type of weight-loss surgery, even if the procedure itself works correctly. This weight gain can happen if you don't follow the recommended lifestyle changes. To help avoid regaining weight, you must make permanent healthy changes in your diet and get regular physical activity and exercise. If you frequently snack on high-calorie foods, for instance, you may have inadequate weight loss.

My version of blackend venison steaks - two year old (12-23-15 lost package), non-freezer burnt, non-freezer tasting, paperwrapped venison, a D. Mauch variant of a fried steak on cast iron skillet. Different seasonings than my usual, big dried onion flakes, italian seasoning, garlic powder and flakes, rosemarry, cumin, chili powder, allspice and dash of salt - pretty heavily covered, it all blackens. Med low heat, 15-20mins. Horseradish sauce.
Best steaks and the reason why i had marked "perfect" which rarely do. Fletch-Tite right next to the dinner plate - had a few repairs to do lately.
Gun club meeting on Valentine's Day, wife picked up some good bread and a dropped piece made a perfect heart shape.

Everybody always imagines the future looking way cooler than it actually does. The Los Angeles Times just re-proved the point by republishing a 1988 issue in which it made a slew of guesses about 2013. Some of them were right, but unfortunately cars still don't look that cool.
The issue is chock full of general and LA-specific predictions, of varying accuracy. The Atlantic summarised a few of the noteworthy ones, and among the Time's correct premonitions were fibre internet, streaming video and collagen injections. Among the misses are barcoded, trackable cash, the end of toothbrushes thanks to "Denturinse", and something called "futura-rock". Maybe they meant dubstep?
You can read the whole issue in all of its 1988 glory over at the LA Times website and revel in that future we haven't gotten. Yet. [The Los Angeles Times via The Atlantic]

End of an era
Late one Saturday night about 25 years ago, I ran into Don Graham at the old Hechinger's on Wisconsin Avenue, where we both had rushed to take advantage of the final hours of a sale on mulch.
"Can you believe these prices?" asked the then-publisher of The Washington Post and heir apparent to one of the most storied media dynasties in American history. It was 1987, and the Post was still basking in the glow of Watergate, and Katharine Graham dominated the town.
Story Continued Below
Nonetheless, Don helped me load 20 bags of mulch into my Honda before he stocked up on the $2 bags. That's the way it was back then, when I was a young reporter at the Post. "Donnie" as he was known in those days, and his mother, Mrs. Graham, as she was always called, roamed the newsroom every day. Presidents dined in her Georgetown home, but she knew your spouse's name and the ages of your children.
The Grahams built an extended family on the 5th floor of the landmark building on 15th Street, and along with legendary Editor Ben Bradlee, they inspired some of the best journalism of the century. They guided the paper through one of its most illustrious periods — the Watergate scandal, which led to Richard M. Nixon's resignation in 1974, and its successful battle with the government in 1971 to publish the Pentagon Papers, a classified history of the Vietnam War.
That Post was gone a decade ago, victimized by the same maladies affecting the entire industry — diminishing circulation, an advertising base usurped by Craig's List and a generation who views newspapers as clutter. Still, the announcement on Monday that this proud institution would be sold to an Internet entrepreneur by Graham, today the CEO, and his niece, publisher Katharine Weymouth, rocked the staff and stunned a city that had long held it in awe.
"I'm numb," said one veteran reporter.
( PHOTOS: Jeff Bezos's life and career)
That Amazon's Jeff Bezos would buy the paper was a dramatic turn of events for the Post, a white flag of economic defeat for an institution that has played a powerful role in the making and breaking of presidents, dogged former Mayor Marion Barry and exposed how our Iraq War veterans were being treated in squalid conditions at the nation' s premier veterans hospital.
While Post reporters and editors on Monday grudgingly conceded that Bezos might bring a much-needed vision and financial backing to the paper, they also knew it was the end of an era. At its lofty heights, the Post boasted bureaus all over the country and the globe; it owned television stations and Newsweek in its prime.
But it also took great pride in covering and supporting Washington. Don Graham was a Washington police officer in the late 1960s and famously rode the Metro to and from work when he was publisher of the Post.
( Also on POLITICO: What is Jeff Bezos thinking?)
The Post loved a good federal budget story but also loved the Redskins, and finding editors scrapping on a Sunday over what was more important was not an unusual tug of war.
In recent years, the Post was forced to close many bureaus and cut back dramatically on local coverage. The real question for reporters today is whether it can ever return to its period of greatness, when residents couldn't wait to read the front page.
Bradlee would call the best of these high-impact pieces "holy shit" stories — the most famous of which, of course, was Watergate, the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein traced to the White House.
Their dogged Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage brought down the 37th president of the United States — and spawned a generation of investigative journalists who aspired to work for the Post. To former Post publisher Katharine Graham, Watergate was "the most important occurrence in my working life."

This Sunday, November 27th, marks the third year of our monthly event at Alembic Bar, Savoy Cocktail Book Night.
I have a vague memory of being at Alembic Bar with my wife, mentioning to Daniel Hyatt that they should reinstate the discontinued Savoy Cocktail Book Nights. Having him tell me, if they did hold the Savoy Cocktail Book Nights again, I should be involved.
I remember thinking, maybe I shouldn't sound too enthusiastic, maintain a bit of distance, so as not to scare him with my enthusiasm. One of my favorite bars, Savoy Cocktails… Is this the "Make a Wish Foundation"?
"Yeah, that might be OK, let me check my schedule."
Here we are, three years later, I suppose I should have learned some lessons.
Man, it's still hard. Of all the bartending things I do, the mental effort of looking up all those cocktails in a night is one of the hardest exercises I do. I always find myself way more tired on Monday morning than I really should be for being as busy (or not) as we were and only staying up until midnight or 1 the night before.
People pick weird cocktails, for the sake of being weird. That's the only thing I can figure, as to why the Green Dragon or Snowball continue to be ordered month after month.
There are some really good cocktails in the book and I enjoy pointing people in their direction. The Dandy, The Elk's Own, The Rattlesnake, the Imperial, Jabberwock etc. There are quite a few fairly obscure and unjustly ignored cocktails in the book, and it is just fun to turn people on to them.
Anyway, I am grateful every month for the time I get to spend with the fantastic staff at Alembic, and especially, for the chance Daniel Hyatt has given me to spread the gospel of these cocktails using his bar as a podium.
Stop by after 6 PM on Nov 27. Cool drinks, great bar, fantastic staff. And, yes, if you really want a Southern Exposure or Pisco Sour, we can make those too…
