Synchronicity is astonishing. I could never have dreamed that our new opera, The Captivation of Eunice Williams (Paula M. Kimper, composer, Harley Erdman, librettist) would be chosen to be presented in Macedonia. Where exactly is Macedonia? Sort of near Greece, right? And yet, there I was on a plane to Skopje. The subject of the opera made it an even more unlikely candidate for this trip to Eastern Europe. The opera tells the story of Eunice Williams, a little seven-year-old girl, who was kidnapped in Deerfield, MA in 1704 by French and Mohawk raiders. She walked on a snowy February night, over 300 miles to Canada, where she would make her home, marry a Native man, become a mother of the long house and live a rich and long life.
Somehow the confluence of history and empathy brought it all about. A friend who had helped dream through the opera, Nicholas Thaw, was speaking to the Minister of Culture in Skopje as they looked at the tumbled down 12th century monastery that was in need of funds for repair. As the Minister apologized for the condition of such a treasure citing long conflict among native peoples and invaders, Nick jumped in noting similar strife in the States with our Native Peoples, and that he knew of an opera that told the story well. The minister simply said that the opera must be presented in Skopje. Off we went.
Through a generous grant from TCG, we were able to visit and guide our new friends through the production. There is a moment from those wonderful wine sodden conversations about art and life and war that changed my life. I came up with what I thought was a great idea: the Mohawk characters could be played by Albanians and the Puritans by the Macedonians. We could have two hours of peace and reconciliation on the stage between these to deeply and complexly conflicted peoples. It would be a first! Look what art can do! They all agreed and nodded with enthusiasm. The Albanian National Theatre Company hosting the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra. Yes, they said. And the English translated into Macedonian and the Mohawk translated into Albanian. All of a sudden a hush washed over the table. Damn. I had that stupid American feeling flush through my cheeks. What had I said? The Artistic Director of the Albanian National Theatre Company, Osman Ahmeti, broke the silence and spoke softly in English. "No, Linda. Translation would cause us great troubles. Great troubles. Did you not know that English is the global language?" Oh God, now I was blundering into creating great troubles. I said that I was so sorry and decided to be quiet for a while and let them get back to putting their ideas together. What ensued was a magnificent creative collaboration between Osman and the representative from the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra. The conversation flowed like water and I just tried to keep up. After a long time there was a lull and I noted how beautifully they were working together and asked why they had never worked together before. Again, it was Osman who spoke after several seconds of silence at the table. "Because no one ever make invitation."
Those word reverberated through my bones and still do every time I think of them. I felt at that moment as if I understood everything. Invitation was all it took. I vowed from then on to be conscious of "making invitation" at every opportunity.
There are so many more stories to tell. The story of the Croatian man who played the preacher, Stephen Williams, who almost missed a performance because he couldn't get home from his translating job with the Serbian army as it was too dangerous to drive after an explosion. The Macedonian performer who played Eunice's husband who gave me a bracelet from a holy site in the mountains just hours after I complained to myself that I would never find a mala that fit my wrist. Seeing the audience weep and rise to their feet after the performance. Staying up all night with the director comparing notes about how hard it is to be a theatre director and producer and wondering why more women don't do it. Seeing a poster for Captivation on the ancient walls of the old Albanian section of Skopje. Making promises to work together again. Amazing, all of it. It was a deeply meaningful adventure for all of us. I am so grateful that someone made invitation.

Pulling into Wisconsin from Illinois, the sign proclaims the state's highlights to include "industry, agriculture, recreation". But what's going on in Milwaukee? Most know it for its relationship to Harley-Davidson and beer, a memorable scene from Wayne's World, and perhaps Laverne & Shirley. Luckily for us, Milwaukee turned out to be a treasure—beautiful, architecturally and culturally diverse, and full of sweetness. Under the watchful eye of the Milwaukee Cupcake Queen and friends, we had the good fortune of trying out some of the city's best. Here were some of the highlights:
Cafe Lulu: Ready for pie in Milwaukee? Make sure to stop at Lulu's, according to Cake Gumshoes Sandy and Bob—they carry a mouthwatering array of gorgeous pies, including "the best blueberry pie you've ever tasted". Hours: Mon-Thurs, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m; Fri. & Sat., 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.; Sun., 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. 2261 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee; online at lulubayview.com.
Simma's Bakery: Our only complaint is that they ought to change their name to "Heaven, the bakery". This bakery has won a lot of awards locally--and they're well deserved in our opinion. The caramel-oat bar we got was like sweet manna; the aroma upon walking in made us want to stay for a very, very long time. Hours: Tuesday-Fri., 7.am – 6 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Sunday, 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.; closed Mondays. 817 N. 68th St., Milwaukee; 414-257-0998; online at simmasbakery.com.

Last summer, I went to Outlook, a bass festival in Croatia. At some point during the blur of the weekend, I picked up a 'No bass, no fun' sticker, which managed to permeate into my heat-bass-booze addled mind and resonated with me deeply. I plastered it to myself; delighted to parade my new-found life philosophy before everyone I met (thankfully there wasn't a tattoo parlour to hand).
Though the sticker is long disintegrated, were it still in possession, Dobie's debut full-length would force me to shred it. This is not fun bass. This is not even Marks & Spencer's bass. This is relentless, filthy bass – the kind that throbs through your head when you're horrifically hungover on a bus and you accidentally lean it against the shuddering, vibrating window. It's not the whirring and wobbing of dial-up modem mainstream dubstep but rather the ominous, water-shakes-in-the-glass boom of a particularly rhythmic Tyrannosaurus Rex approaching.
Anthony Campbell, aka Dobie, has loomed large on the UK production scene since the late Eighties, working with everyone from Soul II Soul and Massive Attack to London Posse and Björk. Since allied with bass label Big Dada, he last year released two appetite-whetting EPs, and has now returned with a full-length, as well as an accompanying exhibition of his skate/hip-hop based photography and an essay on his music and life by cultural commentator Jason Jules. Topped off with album art from Turner prize winner, and friend, Chris Ofili, this is the measured, thought-out return from an evidently respected artist.
The first half of We Will Not Harm You is an uppercut in bass-form. Opening track, 'The Beginning', plunges straight in with jarring synths and pounding sub-bass intercut, like a B-grade sci-fi soundtrack, with cries of "We will not harm you!" – Dobie is in fact so keen to reassure his listeners that this later repeats in a track of its own, 'Skit'. Next up, the slightly less intense 'Blip 124' brings throbbing house over a thundering undercurrent of four-to-the-floor, yep, you guessed it, shuddering bass. It only gets darker, with 'Then I Woke Up' kicking off with nightmarish squeals, ominous synths and the faint ringing of alarms before smacking the listener with a chuntering bass break before introducing 'Space Oddity'-style ascending, washed out synths. Best of all is first single, 'She Moans', essentially a wall-of-bass topped with tropical, drum-n-bass percussion – the sound of dubstep being deconstructed.
Thankfully, as one's ears, eyes, and jaw muscles need a break by this point, Dobie relents with 'Somewhere Over There', a bass-free airy interlude of dream-pop synths and soulful piano. Instrumental hip-hop tracks 'Crunch Factor No. 5' and 'The Chant' also allow the listener to catch their breath – definitely necessary breaks in the record but equally slightly below the standard of the rest of it. Like the soundtrack of a night, the record becomes ever more intense before peaking, pausing, and eventually taking it down a notch. The end of the album is much less bass-centric, instead sliding into spacey electronica (though, naturally, there's still some sub-bass in evidence). Closing track 'She Wiggles When She Walks' is particularly successful, combining disjointed breaks with light-handed synths and experimental bleeping; perfect 7am after-party music.
By its very nature, electronic music is often at its best when repetitive; but it's a fine line to tread between satisfying and dull. We Will Not Harm You is well-crafted enough that the looping repetition is pleasing, with the dominant bass thwacking out grooves which just play on and on.

Tips from your fellow racers!
Ever break the cross pin-bolt head off on a GM rearend? Drill in with a small drill bit on an angle (less than 1/8 drill bit). When you have drilled through the carrier and before drilling into the cross pin (there should a little bit of clearance for the pin), reverse the drill while applying a small amount of downward pressure. The drill will slowly turn the pin out assuming it's still straight. To start the drill hole you may have to knick the carrier with a cutoff wheel.

Many mechanics have started using disposable latex gloves for performing greasy work. Yep the ones you hate to see come out during your doctor visit! When removing the driveshaft, instead of searching for a roll of tape to tape the U-joint, simply use the glove. Slip the open end right over the entire U-joint. This will hold the caps in place and keep the cap protected from scratches and dirt!

Grabbing social gamers by their dangling music nostalgia glands, SongPop tops Facebook's list of the top 25 web-based and mobile social games of 2012. It also makes for a lousy top image, so I went with number 14, NaturalMotion's CSR Racing, instead. Pretty car.
Using a mystical combination of App Center star ratings, negative and positive user signals and engagement numbers between January and November, Facebook has compiled a rather diverse list of games in this year's top 25. Sure, it's got the requisite six Zynga games on it, but there's also a racing game, a little baseball and a mid-core dungeon romp. The times, they are a-changing.

Your audiobook is waiting…
Editorial Reviews
Like Charlie on his first visit to the Chocolate Factory, Almond is a wide-eyed narrator who truly appreciates the magic of candy. He wants to know how it's made and how he can get his hands on it. And like the Willy Wonka in us all, he dreams up extraordinary, imaginary candy concoctions that'll make your mouth water.
Oliver Wyman portrays Almond's freakdom to pitch-perfection - comic when recounting an embarrassing Halloween episode, nostalgic when reminiscing on his favorite candies of the past. The combination is heartfelt, quirky, and absolutely delicious.
Publisher's Summary
Almond, who claims to have between three and seven pounds of candy in his house at all times, set out to uncover the inexplicable disappearance of the Bit-O-Choc, the Caravelle bar, and other delights. As he documents his visits to candy factories across America, he reveals the true nature of the industry, with hilarious asides examining the role candy plays in our lives, and often confessing his own near-obsessive cravings. Almond's wry writing style is undeniably addictive and impossible to put down until every last bit has been devoured; listeners should be warned to keep a ready supply of sweets on hand.
Critic Reviews
- Alex Award Winner, 2005

"An entertaining book full of repeatable tidbits about the candy industry." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Wry, self-deprecating, and darkly funny." (The Village Voice)

Pure AudioTruffle, diabetics cautioned
I've never heard anyone verbally describe candy with such lust and consideration; this guy thinks about candy more than once an hour.
He has considered it so much that he is credible to write a book on the matter which covers a breadth of issues; here are my favorites: globalization of candy-producing markets, why he uses candy as an emotional crutch, and what to do when your favorite confection gets pulled off the market.
The reader is easy to listen to and has better verbal inflection than your average reader. The only cautions I have for this book are that some groups of people are going to be more sensitive to the material because this guy really made me want to eat candy while listening to the book. If you are on a strict diet or diabetic and are trying to avoid just this type of thing, then skip this book. But, if you are a passive fan of candy or even an emotional overeater that needs to confront candy issues, this book might help you to understand how candy lures you in, time and time again.

Sweet fun with bitter undertones
I have to start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed most of this book. This was like a romp down memory lane as the author reminisced about Pop Rocks, Lick-a-Sticks and discovering the joys of Goo-Goo Clusters, a southern specialty that my Mississippi-born mother-in-law used to purchase by the case. It was rather difficult to believe that a book about candy could keep me entertained for hours since, even though I do enjoy my sweets, I would definitely not classify myself anywhere in the realm of Steve Almond, Candy freak, but this one did - for the MOST part.
When he was listing the favorite candies and trinkets of his childhood, I was right there. When he was describing the black market that developed as the demand for pop rocks exploded beyond the suppliers' ability to supply them, I was engaged. When he sought out various local "boutique" candy makers and visited their production lines to see, smell and taste first-hand their creations, I wanted to call him up and BEG him to take me along on a return visit. I may not be a complete "candy freak" but I do enjoy good food and his descriptions of stepping out of the car and smelling chocolate and imagining that there could be little else better than arriving at work every day to a place that smelled like heaven had me saying, "Amen!"
Then, he stopped short and stopped me with him when interviewing one of the owners of one of the small boutique companies, an entrepreneur, and speculated with dismay that this guy probably voted for George W. Bush, horror of horrors! In other words, up to that point, he had really liked this guy (the entrepreneur) and had become appreciative of the hard work and business sense that it took to get the independent candy maker to this point but if this entrepreneurial schlub had actually been stupid enough to vote for W, he couldn't be a human being worth much more consideration. This little rabbit trail rant unsettled and distracted me for about 15 minutes, but hey, there aren't many authors/screenwriters/reporters/newscasters these days who don't feel it their moral duty to constantly put in a jibe wherever they can no matter how inappropriate or irrelevant the comment or setting may be that basically categorizes all such creatures somewhere on the level of one-celled amoebas - and THEY call US judgmental and intolerant!
Anyway, his initial political digression made me realize that, much as I had wanted to come along with him to chocolate heaven, he had just made it very clear that if I voted for Bush, my ranking as a sentient human being had just dropped significantly, so much in fact, that he would have no desire to have me along for the ride. That is a rather unfortunate position to take when you are an author of a non-fiction FOOD book and are asking your readers to come along - UNLESS you don't happen to agree with him politically. So, because I was listening while gardening and didn't have the clean hands to stop the audiobook in progress, I continued on when, about three quarters of the way through, he did it again. That's the kind of commentary we need & want in a candy documentary, right?!!
In truth, his diatribes against the "rich" as well as anyone stupid enough to have any leanings towards conservative ideals probably lasted only a few minutes total. I don't expect authors to hide their political ideologies and I am willing to forgive a lot. I am very capable of enjoying a book or film by people I know are politically on the opposite side of the spectrum from me. However when they assume (and we all know what happens when we ass-u-me, right?) that anyone holding differing political opinions is not only less humane or intelligent, but someone not worthy of further consideration, I do tend to become personally offended at that. A book like this is an intimate adventure between the reader and the author and this author, spoke directly into my ear exactly what he thinks about people like me and, honestly it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth for what was otherwise a very sweet read.

Fun and Surprisingly Enlightening
There's no doubt that listing to this book will get you craving candy--lots and lots of it. But this book is about more than one person's love for candy; it's about passion--passion for those things that make life worth living. As author Steve Almond indicates several times in the book, we all have our own personal "freaks." And it's this "freakdom" (no matter the object) that defines who we are. Thus, Almond's book is actually an attempt to discover what's most important and valuable to him. This explains the humorous asides, political commentaries, and personal details (sometimes quite sad) sprinkled throughout. And yet, despite this somewhat "heavy" subtext, the book is loads of fun and often incredibly funny. And speaking of funny, this audiobook represents to me the most perfect matching of audiobook narrator to a book that I've ever come across. Oliver Wyman is a delight to listen to. His cheerful/comic tone couldn't be a better match for Almond's subject matter.

Not for dieters
This book is very enjoyable, and has changed the way I look at candy. Prepare to be involved in this book, because it is more than a listen. I ended up driving an hour to find a Valomilk after listening to the chapter on them. I'm saving up to buy a case of Five Star Bars.
After listening to candyfreak, I find myself in candy aisles, letting my eyes feast in the variety, searching out any candy I haven't tried before.
I highly recommend this book.

Anyone who loves candy, be it fancy chocolates or dime store penny candy, will thoroughly enjoy this exceptionally witty and insightful book. The history of various candies along with intricate and humorous descriptions of their tastes and textures was beyond amusing. The wry, self-deprecating humor of Steve Almond is in the flavor of David Sedaris. I never thought anyone appreciated candy the way I do, nor did I think it possible to describe it in words so eloquently and hysterically. I can't wait to read to another of his books.

This might have been a three-star book, but only a two-star audio book. The auspiciously named Almond writes of his own consuming obsession with candy and the candy industry aiming for a David Sedaris-type admirable neurotic selfishness and wry humor, but missing the target for several reasons. The audio itself is partly to blame. The author, attempting to read his own material with--what? passion? interest?--speaks in overly excited tones that eventually become tiring for the ear. Despite that flaw, the first half, mainly the childhood recollections and pychological speculations of the author, comes closest to the correct tone, elicting laughter or longing at its best moments, such as the hilarious chapter on the worst candies, Mistakes Were Made, or the genuinely mournful elegy for the discontinued Caravel. Unfortunately, the book is more informational than the publisher bills it, and the second half of the book is made up mainly of essays on individual small manufacturers. The author struggles to paint indivudual portraits of people in fairly similar circumstances, namely trying to survive with a vanishing market for their nostalgia and regional items. While I was initially intrigued by the inside accounts and brief history of the American candy industry, audio essays must be written to give very distinctive images and feelings to the listener in order to stay distinct. As Almond tours factory after factory meeting plucky underdog after plucky underdog, the characters and atmosphere begin to melt together like so much warm marshmallow. I suspect it would work better in print, but in audio it becomes too easy to tune out yet another description of chocolate-enrobed nuts and salt-of-the-earth CEOs. Truly unbearable, however, are the author's occasional maudlin attempts to tie the deficiencies of his childhood and adult life to his obsession with the ultimate comfort food, which he employs in a particularly criminal manner to wrap up the book.

Not too sweet
Listening to this is like eating baker's chocolate, and if you're looking for a well researched book about sweets, this is not it. However, if you're looking for a semi-interesting, sometimes crude memoir of a life spent eating candy, you may enjoy Candyfreak. If the author hadn't thrown in the seemingly random sexual humor, I would have enjoyed it more and even likened him to an up and coming Dave Barry type.

Candy is great but Candyfreak is too over the top
I was so looking forward to this book because I love chocolate and chocolate bars. I almost never voluntarily stop eating them. I only stop because I believe it would be unhealthy to continue. The book does a good job of describing candy and the general candy commercial landscape in the United States and how it got to be this way. And for that I liked the book. The writing was good but therein lies the problem. I found that the story and the content was simply playing second fiddle to the real motivation for the book: creative writing. I felt as if the author so loved writing, and descriptive writing in particular, that he wrote a book. Describe a candy all you want but I rather eat one than read a page about it, especially one that I have never had and may never get to. Good writing serves causes and passions and stories well but I felt as if candy and the author's love of it and his life was merely a handmaiden to the author's real passion - writing. The reader revelled in the writing and I felt that I was witnessing a thespian creative love affair between the writer and the reader. Reading as if one is telling a story is more real than histrionic flamboyant overacting. I would have preferred the reader to tone it down a bit.

I hinted at this on twitter earlier - but now that I've had a chance to ssh into the box finally, and, well - run some benchmarks and translate PyPy - I am very happy to announce that the PSF has acquired quite the beefy machine for the planned speed.python.org site discussed at the Python VM summit at PyCon 2011.
The goal of "speed.python.org" is to port the PyPy Speed Center from "just" a PyPy benchmark tool/suite/site and into one for PyPy, CPython, etc - essentially, a massive source of benchmark information for a range of full Python interpreters. These benchmarks are real world micro and macro benchmarks - something we have Unladen Swallow to thank for - quoting Reid:
I'm also proud of our macro-benchmark suite of real world Python applications which lives on and PyPy uses it for speed.pypy.org. In all the performance work I've done before and after Unladen, I have to say that our macro benchmark suite was the most useful. Every performance change was easy to check with a before and after text snippet.
I'll also note, some of the benchmark suite lives in the Python HG repo - PyPy has done a lot of customizations and tweaks - most of all, they've turned it into an awesome site and resource, and having this data, comparing say - Python 2.6/2.7/PyPy/Python3/Jython/etc with historical / per build data (so we could find performance regressions for all of these interpreters will be amazing.
There's already work occurring on the PyPy side on codespeed (the tool) to make it more generic and usable outside of just PyPy. There's also two Google Summer Of Code projects which should help - "Turn Codespeed into a multi-project, statistically savvy application" and "Developing a benchmark suite (for Python 3.x)".
My part to play in all of this was to act, as the magical PSF fairy and sprinkle resource dust into the idea. Fundamentally, I view Python.org not as "CPython.org" - I view it as Python-the-Community.org. I view it as a resource where all interpreters share equal footing, where all of our resources should live and grow (I have a side project for that too...). This single, shared machine is step one in realizing that vision (although I'd be remiss in not noting that plenty of non-cpython things also share our HG repository, and use the mailman infrastructure we have today).
That all said - I finally get to "finish" playing the magical PSF fairy for this, and announce, that due to an amazing donation to the PSF from the HP Open Source Program Office (Thanks Bob!) of a huge machine, and the generous, free racking, stacking hosting and monitoring from the kick-ass team at OSU/OSL we now have this mega machine.
Originally, the PSF was going to fund the purchase of this machine from it's own pockets - but Van Lindberg connected me to Bob at the HP Open Source Program Office, and bam - magic happened. HP's generosity got us the following machine:
- Dual HP NC382i Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters
- HP Smart Array P410i/1GB FBWC Controller
- 4x 4GB (1x4GB) Dual Rank x4 PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) Registered CAS-9 Memory Kit
- 2x HP 750W Common Slot Gold Hot Plug Power Supply Kit
- HP iLO Advanced including 1yr 24x7 Technical Support and Updates Electronic License
- 4x HP 300GB 6G SAS 15K rpm LFF (3.5-inch) Dual Port Enterprise 3yr Warranty Hard Drive
- 2 HP DL380 G7 Intel® Xeon® X5680 (3.33GHz/6-core/130W/12MB) FIO Processor Kit
Yes. HP donated a box with 12 cores (24 with hyperthreading enabled) and 16GB of ram, and a high speed RAID to us for this project. And man, does it fly:
Hardware:Processor: 2 x Intel Xeon X5680 @ 3.33GHz (24 Cores), Motherboard: HP ProLiant DL380 G7, Chipset: Intel 5520 I/O + ICH10, Memory: 4 x 4096 MB, Disk: 1200GB LOGICAL VOLUME, Graphics: ATI ES1000
Software:OS: Ubuntu 11.04, Kernel: 2.6.38-8-server (x86_64)
OSU/OSL is going to be our host - they assembled the machine, racked, stacked and they're going to be our hosts. The entire team - Lance and Peter especially, have been patient, understanding and incredibly helpful. They got this machine up for us today, and helped me work through some auth issues - returning emails within minutes. I'm really looking forward to continuing to work with them - the open source lab at oregon state is an astounding resource for open source. Astounding.
Over the next few weeks, I will be identifying the people who will be taking this from my largely incapable hands and turning it into the resource it will become - in addition to running benchmarks, it's probably going to help Brett Cannon generate in depth code coverage reports for the standard library - something we intend on breaking out and sharing amongst the interpreters as a common code base.
This is great news - and I'm looking forward to the next few months as the hard part of the project takes off - getting the speed site up and running and working for the community. For the record, I had to test the speed of this beast somehow - so I picked the most resources intensive thing I could think of - translating PyPy using CPython 2.7:
[Timer] Timings: [Timer] annotate --- 732.2 s [Timer] rtype_lltype --- 482.5 s [Timer] pyjitpl_lltype --- 533.4 s [Timer] backendopt_lltype --- 146.4 s [Timer] stackcheckinsertion_lltype --- 38.9 s [Timer] database_c --- 184.9 s [Timer] source_c --- 344.7 s [Timer] compile_c --- 137.5 s [Timer] =========================================== [Timer] Total: --- 2600.4 s
As a point of comparison - checking the latest build bot result from PyPy:
[Timer] Timings: [Timer] annotate --- 1452.8 s [Timer] rtype_lltype --- 748.6 s [Timer] pyjitpl_lltype --- 1206.6 s [Timer] backendopt_lltype --- 560.5 s [Timer] stackcheckinsertion_lltype --- 109.9 s [Timer] database_c --- 712.8 s [Timer] source_c --- 1295.1 s [Timer] compile_c --- 472.6 s [Timer] =========================================== [Timer] Total: --- 6558.8 s
So, yeah - not apples to apples, but there's a slight speedup.
We now have the foundation for an amazing, real world bench mark and testing site for Python/Python's interpreters. This is going to be awesome, and it could not have been done without the work and discussion by the people at the PyCon language summit, the PyPy folks for putting together an awesome site, and without the support of the PSF - but most of all, the generous support from HP and OSU/OSL. My thanks goes out to everyone involved, and I'm honored to be able to help get this project off the ground finally. Let's show everyone what Python - as a community, working on concert with one another is capable of doing.
PS: Here's a run of the basic tests from the cpython repo benchmark tool

Contains Sulphites.
Meursault is the largest commune in the Côte de Beaune (spanning over 370ha) producing predominantly white wines. There are no Grand Cru vineyards, but its Premier Crus can equal the best white wines in the Côte de Beaune. The finest vineyards are Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes. In addition Meursault has a plethora of other named vineyards that aren't Premier Cru but nonetheless show their own distinct characteristics and can offer excellent value, some of the best are Chevalières, Tessons, Clos de la Barre, Luchets, Narvaux, and Tillets. These are lower-lying than the Premiers Crus but are much more interesting than the villages wines of Puligny where the water table is higher. The low water-table is also the reason why some of the region's deepest cellars can be found in Meursault. The commune is big so the style and quality are varied. Generally speaking Meursault is known for its full body and, nutty, buttery character. The best examples have enough vitality and acidity to balance out the 'fat.'
Chardonnay is one of the most widely-grown and versatile of all white grape varieties. As a relatively neutral grape, it offers a near transparent map of winemaking style, climate and terroir. It is the ideal grape variety for Burgundy, where it serves to mirror the complex nuances of the myriad of terroirs found in this hallowed land. Chardonnay produces a variety of wines from the minerally and unoaked styles found in Chablis, the fatter nuttier examples in Meursault, to the tropical fruit-driven versions found in the New World. It is also the major grape variety in Champagne, where it produces lively floral wines, namely in the Côte de Blancs. It can be found throughout Europe and the New World thanks to its versatility. As a non-aromatic variety, it has an affinity with oak, whether new or used, French or American.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

Media Services: Live Monitoring Dashboard
Azure Media Services Live Monitoring Dashboard for tracking the health of media services
The Live Monitoring Dashboard enables Azure Media Services (AMS) customers to view the health of their channel and origin deployments. The dashboard captures the state of ingest, archive, encode, and origin telemetry entities. The dashboard supplies data on the incoming data rate for video stream ingestion, dropped data in storage archive, encoding data rate, and origin HTTP error statuses and latencies. The functionality and usage of the Live Monitoring Dashboard is detailed in our blog post.
Preview of the Dashboard
Special Thanks
Special thanks to Prakash Duggaraju for his help and contributions to this project.
Getting Started
Create Azure Active Directory (AAD) Tenant
To deploy this application, first create a host Azure Active Directory tenant through the old Azure portal. In this tenant, create an application by clicking on Add under the Applications tab. Next, provide an application name and properties, as illustrated below.
Update Application Manifest
Next, update the application manifest to specify the type of roles supported by the application. Once the application is created, click on Manage Manifest then Download Manifest. In the downloaded manifest, replace the appRoles line with the content of the rolesettings.xml file from the \Monitoring Dashboard\MediaDashboard directory. Upload the updated manifest file. Lastly, generate and save a tenant client secret key. Make sure to record this key in a safe place.
Update Application Configuration File
Next, in the new Azure portal, create a web application and SQL database. Update the contentProviders section of the template configuration file, mediadashboardconfig.json, with parameters for your media service account, associated storage account, SQL database. Upload this configuration file into a blob storage container named config in your associated storage account. Next, add the following key-value pairs to your application's properties (make sure to fill in your associated storage account's name and key for the MediaDashboard.ConfigurationFileAccount):
- MediaDashboard.ConfigurationFileAccount - DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=storageaccountname;AccountKey=storageaccountkey
- ida:ClientId - The client ID of the AAD app
- ida:ClientSecret - The client secret generated in the AAD app
- ida:TenantId - The tenant ID of the AAD app
The image below illustrates where to source these values from.
Upload Storage Account Configuration File
Next, filled out the capitalized field entries in the mediadashboardconfig.json file. The fields to complete are as follows (optional fields denoted in parentheses):
- contentProviders.name: descriptive name of the content provider (optional)
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.descriptiveName: descriptive name of the azure media account
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.dataStorageConnections.accountName: server account name (optional)
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.dataStorageConnections.azureServer: server name, typically of the form: server.database.windows.net
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.dataStorageConnections.initialCatalog: initial catalog name (optional)
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.dataStorageConnections.dbUserName: server database username
- contentProviders.mediaServicesSet.dataStorageConnections.dbPassword: server database password
- contentProviders.mediaServicesAccounts.id: media account ID
- contentProviders.mediaServicesAccounts.accountName: media account name
- contentProviders.mediaServicesAccounts.accountKey: media account key
- contentProviders.mediaServicesAccounts.metaData.location: media account location (optional)
- contentProviders.telemetryStorage.accountName: telemetry storage account name
- contentProviders.telemetryStorage.accountKey: telemetry storage account key
Next, upload mediadashboardconfig.json to a blob named config in your storage account. This can be done using the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer.
Update Web Configuration
Next, update the template Web.config file in the MediaDashboard.Web project in Visual Studio. The fields to compelte are as follows:
- ida:ClientId: client ID of the Azure Active Directory app
- ida:Domain: domain of the Azure Active Directory app
- ida:TenantId: Tenant ID from Azure Active Directory app
Assign User Roles
Lastly, specify the user role for all individuals who will access the application as either Operator or Administrator under the User tab of the application page.
Run the SQL preparation script
Open the solution in Visual Studio, and select the SQL script which is in \Other\Create AMS DB.sql. Double-click on it to open and select Execute (icon on the top left). This opens a dialog box where you need to select the database in Azure that you previously created. Authenticate to connect to the database and run the script to prepare it.
Deploy from Visual Studio
The last step is to build and deploy the application from Visual Studio. Open the solution in Visual Studio, right-click on the MediaDashboard.Web project, select Publish and complete the Publish Web Application wizard. Create a new publish profile and select Microsoft Azure Web Apps as your publish target. Enter the credentials for your Azure subscription and select the web app that you created. Update the Connection string with the domain name of your Azure site. Alternatively, you can download the Publish Profile for your application for the Azure Portal and upload it through the Publish wizard in Visual Studio.
On the Settings page, deselect Enable Organizational Authentication (this will recreate the application and overwrite the configuration from the previous steps). Lastly, publish the app to the destination.
Debugging Errors
If your receive any errors after publishing the application, you can debug by launching the Log Stream for your application from the Azure Portal. Under the Development tools section, launch Advanced tools. Next, select Log stream from the Tools menu. This stream can be refreshed each time you restart or republish the app for debugging purposes.

An Emma Fielding Mystery
Avon, 9780060554675, 304pp.
Publication Date: July 25, 2006
Just when everything is going beautifully for archaeologist Emma Fielding -- a position at a respected university, a beautiful home in New England, and the warm love of a devoted husband -- her world starts to crumble. What begins as a series of seemingly innocent gestures -- the anonymous delivery of gifts and flowers to Emma's family and friends -- soon progresses to secret, sadistic acts designed to destroy her reputation, her character, and her career.
Someone has instituted a brilliantly insidious campaign of personal terror against Emma Fielding, and she is certain she knows who it is: a cunning and dangerous enemy whom everyone but she believes is dead. But with no proof, no clues, and no allies, Emma will have to fight alone in the dark to rescue a life being rapidly reduced to ashes . . . if she can survive long enough to do so.

Bullpen competition starting to heat up
JUPITER, Fla. -- It's about to get interesting for a couple of bullpen openings at Marlins camp.
There are a number of candidates for what may ultimately be two or three spots.
JUPITER, Fla. -- It's about to get interesting for a couple of bullpen openings at Marlins camp.
There are a number of candidates for what may ultimately be two or three spots.
At the mid-way point of Spring Training, manager Mike Redmond is sending a reminder that the time is now to show something.
"Every outing is big for guys," Redmond said. "Camp now, is so short. We have so many pitchers, and we're trying to get a look at so many different guys. Honestly, I think every time they get the ball is important. There are not enough innings out there for guys to kind of ease into it.
"I've never been a guy who kind of eased into it. I want to see what you've got. I'm trying to make an evaluation. I want to take the best [12] guys we can. If guys are holding back for something, it's probably not the time to hold back."
Up for grabs are a right-handed setup role, long relief, and possibly a second lefty spot.
The club is expected to carry seven relievers, and 12 total pitchers.
"We have a bunch of guys really fighting for those spots," Redmond said. "We're looking for guys to step up."
In the mix for spots are Carter Capps, Arquimedes Caminero, Henry Rodriguez, Brad Hand (either starter or reliever) and Kevin Slowey (also a starter and relief candidate). Carlos Marmol is signed to a guaranteed contract, and Sunday was his first scheduled appearance.
Marmol is basically a lock.
Rodriguez is a non-roster invitee who struck out three and issued a hit on Saturday in one inning against the Braves. Command is key for Rodriguez, who throws in the upper 90s. He was throwing 98-99 mph in his first inning.
What impressed the Marlins is he was getting strikeouts on sliders.
Some of the lefties getting a look are Dan Jennings, Josh Spence and Edgar Olmos.
Secured of spots are closer Steve Cishek, A.J. Ramos, Mike Dunn and Marmol.
There are some starters who may wind up in bullpen roles, like Tom Koehler, Hand and Slowey.
The Marlins are looking for relievers to replace the innings logged a year ago by Ryan Webb and Chad Qualls, who are with the Orioles and Astros, respectively.
"Where are these guys going to fit?" Redmond said. "Like I said, we lost Webby and we lost Qualls. We need guys to step up, and fill those innings. It's going to be an interesting battle to see who can be the most consistent and earn it. The bottom line is, these guys have got to earn it."

Tip of the MonthIt was time to fix the rare optional dash-top clock on our '65 Chevelle. The clock was installed some 12 years ago, and worked for about five years. The original clocks in 1965 were of the electromagnetic type. In other words, they worked just like a windup clock of the day, but using an electrical solenoid to rewind the clock when it wound down. A set of points would close when the clock was almost wound down, energizing a solenoid to rewind the spring for about three minutes. After a few years, just like ignition points, they'd either wear out or seize together and stop the process. Sometimes you could disassemble the clock and file the points, but the repair didn't last long. Most of the time, it would fry the electromagnet. Back then, the only option was to send the clock for repairs or buy a wristwatch.
Today, a few instrument companies will repair the clock or convert the works to a quartz movement. The quartz option will last a long time—up to 20 years or so. In our case, the quartz movement was our choice, and was available as a do-it-yourself kit. The thought of removing the clock myself scared me a little, considering the original clock was probably worth $500 to $1,000. Even shipping it to a repair company was fraught with risk. Finding a good replacement if it's lost is almost impossible. So we ordered a conversion kit from Instrument Services out of Roscoe, Illinois. We even paid a small charge of $5 for the instruction video, which was well worth the price.
After watching the video, it was apparent the job was simple, and it only took about 45 minutes to install the quartz conversion. You can see the old clock cartridge in the picture. The new quartz cartridge is an exact replacement; the only thing you have to pay attention to is the order of assembly. For the purist, the conversion results in a sweep second hand compared to a sequential second hand for original. If you are into an exact correct restoration that will be judged, Instrument Service offers a repair service that will keep your clock to exact factory specifications. Since our '65 is primarily a restomod, the quartz movement meets our needs. Instrument Services carries do-it-yourself kits for most Chevy clocks carrying the Borg clock logo. Give the company a call for other brand units at 815-623-2993, or check out clocksandgauges.com. Instrument Service also offers a number of other automotive gauge services.
Quarter TimeI've been a subscriber to your magazine for what seems like 20 years, and love it. I have read from your readers about doing a full quarter or a skin (and I get this question a lot, as I am a bodyman). The skin may seem like a cheaper way to go, but that is far from the truth. It takes a lot more time to install, and the price for labor will outweigh the price to have a full quarter installed. The biggest reason for this is there is a lot more welding and fitting involved—and no matter what, the panel will warp during the welding process. That adds up to a lot more hours just to straighten it. For a full quarter install, there is only a small cut in the sail panel, which is a very strong area that stays straight during welding and grinding. Also, the factory spot weld is drilled out to remove the panel. In the end, you have a better fit, a factory look, and much less labor time. Hope this helps out.
Scott Krall
Via email
A few issues back, a reader asked our opinion on the difference between a replacement quarter-panel and just the quarter skin. Scott Krall wrote this spot-on assessment of the difference, and a comparison of the repair procedures involved. We totally agree with his information, and couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thanks, Scott, for taking the time to write us.

Layered Hairstyles For Girls
Long layered hair may take a little extra time to style, but the beautiful result is more than worth it. Make sure to get a trim every six weeks or so to ensure that your hair looks its healthiest and layers appear top notch. Long layers look great when curled with a one-inch barrel curling iron. For extra volume, use two-inch curlers while hair is damp and don't take them out until hair is completely dry.
Shake your hair out after you remove the curlers and use hair spray all over while holding your head upside down. Flip your head upright and use your hands to move the curls where you'd like them to create amazing volume.Long hairstyle 2011,long layered hair,LayeredHairstyle,Long Layered Hairstyles,Long Layered Hairstyles 2011,Long Layered Hairstyles For Girls,Long layered hairstyles for women,long hairstyles pictures

The Marvellous Module Structure of GHC
- NOTE: Possibly outdated.
GHC is built out of about 245 Haskell modules. It can be quite tricky to figure out what the module dependency graph looks like. It can be important, too, because loops in the module dependency graph need to be broken carefully using .hi-boot interface files.
This section of the commentary documents the subtlest part of the module dependency graph, namely the part near the bottom.
- The list is given in compilation order: that is, module near the top are more primitive, and are compiled earlier.
- Each module is listed together with its most critical dependencies in parentheses; that is, the dependencies that prevent it being compiled earlier.
- Modules in the same bullet don't depend on each other.
- Loops are documented by a dependency such as "loop Type.Type". This means tha the module imports Type.Type, but module Type has not yet been compiled, so the import comes from Type.hi-boot.
Compilation order is as follows:
- First comes a layer of modules that have few interdependencies, and which implement very basic data types:
- Util
- OccName
- Pretty
- Outputable
- StringBuffer
- ListSetOps
- Maybes
- etc
- Now comes the main subtle layer, involving types, classes, type constructors identifiers, expressions, rules, and their operations.
- Name, PrimRep
- PrelNames
- Var (Name, loop IdInfo.IdInfo, loop Type.Type, loop Type.Kind)
- VarEnv, VarSet, ThinAir
- Class (loop TyCon.TyCon, loop Type.Type)
- TyCon (loop Type.Type, loop DataCon.DataCon, loop Generics.GenInfo)
- TypeRep (loop DataCon.DataCon, loop Subst.substTyWith)
- Type (loop PprType.pprType, loop Subst.substTyWith)
- FieldLabel (Type), TysPrim (Type)
- Literal (TysPrim, PprType), DataCon (loop PprType, loop Subst.substTyWith, FieldLabel.FieldLabel)
- TysWiredIn (loop MkId.mkDataConIds)
- TcType ( lots of TysWiredIn stuff)
- PprType ( lots of TcType stuff )
- PrimOp (PprType, TysWiredIn)
- CoreSyn [does not import Id]
- IdInfo (CoreSyn.Unfolding, CoreSyn.CoreRules)
- Id (lots from IdInfo)
- CoreFVs, PprCore
- CoreUtils (PprCore.pprCoreExpr, CoreFVs.exprFreeVars, CoreSyn.isEvaldUnfolding CoreSyn.maybeUnfoldingTemplate)
- CoreLint ( CoreUtils ), OccurAnal (CoreUtils.exprIsTrivial), CoreTidy (CoreUtils.exprArity )
- CoreUnfold (OccurAnal.occurAnalyseGlobalExpr)
- Subst (CoreUnfold.Unfolding, CoreFVs), Generics (CoreUnfold.mkTopUnfolding), Rules (CoreUnfold.Unfolding, PprCore.pprTidyIdRules)
- MkId (CoreUnfold.mkUnfolding, Subst, Rules.addRule)
- PrelInfo (MkId), HscTypes ( Rules.RuleBase )
- That is the end of the infrastructure. Now we get the main layer of modules that perform useful work.
- CoreTidy (HscTypes.PersistentCompilerState)
Typechecker stuff
- TcType
- TcEvidence( TcType )
- TcMType( TcEvidence )
- TcUnify( TcMType )
- TcSMonad( TcMType )
- TcSimplify( TcSMonad )
- TcValidity( TcSimplify.simplifyTop, TcUnify.tcSubType )
- TcHsType( TcValidity.checkValidType, TcValidity.checkValidInstance )
HsSyn stuff
- HsPat.hs-boot
- HsExpr.hs-boot (loop HsPat.LPat)
- HsTypes (loop HsExpr.HsSplice)
- HsBinds (HsTypes.LHsType, loop HsPat.LPat, HsExpr.pprFunBind and others) HsLit (HsTypes.SyntaxName)
- HsPat (HsBinds, HsLit) HsDecls (HsBinds)
- HsExpr (HsDecls, HsPat)
Library stuff: base package
- GHC.Base
- Data.Tuple (GHC.Base), GHC.Ptr (GHC.Base)
- GHC.Enum (Data.Tuple)
- GHC.Show (GHC.Enum)
- GHC.Num (GHC.Show)
- GHC.ST (GHC.Num), GHC.Real (GHC.Num)
- GHC.Arr (GHC.ST) GHC.STRef (GHC.ST)
- GHC.!IOBase (GHC.Arr)
- Data.Bits (GHC.Real)
- Data.HashTable (Data.Bits, Control.Monad)
- Data.Typeable (GHC.IOBase, Data.HashTable)
- GHC.Weak (Data.Typeable, GHC.IOBase)
High-level Dependency Graph
Dark red edges indicate that only one module in one group depends on a module in the other group. Dark green means 11 or more dependencies. Arrows point from the importing module to the imported module.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan had been educating its student-athletes about problems while social networking long before the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax became tabloid fodder.
Athletic director Dave Brandon provided some details Friday for people attending an event hosted by the University of Toledo College of Business.
Michigan hired Florida-based 180 Communications - a group specializing in media training, with an additional focus on social media - for a presentation in the fall of 2011. A woman who works for the company became Facebook friends with some Wolverines football players. After some of them interacted with her online, she came to Ann Arbor to teach them a lesson about being more careful.
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo has said he tricked Te'o, a former Notre Dame linebacker, into falling for a fake woman he created online.

I'm new on here...just thought Id introduce myself...22,,student studying paralegal.work at a grocery store....ex-catholic...family was marginally relgiious but were churhc going and i attended cahtolic schools through high school...I investigated every christian denom under the sun at 17 and almost became a mormon and jehovahs witness at points in time...at about 18 I gave up on religion and become cofmrotable with myself as an atheist...im not really outspoken and i havent ever exeprienced alot of harships or difficulty as far as relatives/friends or anything. Personally though, I was delighted to not fear toasting in hell....but I had a lot of personal issues because religion informed my everything...and especially it concerned me about future dating/marrige prospects being an atheist, and to be honest...I'm someone thats been around a lot of feminist and gender issue debate because of family members and friends and thios may sound insane but I found myself kind of depressed to be male. I was sturggling with school...I had anxiety disorders and OCD and it caused a lot of tension between my parents and me and evnetually i moved out of my house and worked full time and rented a poaartment with a friend...no cash of time for school and i was in a job i definitely didnt have any long term plans to stay in. I read a lot into the "rise of women" and end of men...theres plenty of media attnetion on how boys are falling behind in educaitona nd that the american economy is demanding people with skills and degrees that women are suceeding in and that men are not. I can't explain why but I felt like crap..esepcially considering the loss of my relgiion. I never bought into the patriachial religious thing evne though i was a believer i never ever ever had a macho attitude or thought god gave men some elevated status...BUT...I felt like atleast God had a purpose for creating men and that men are built for a reason and have comsething to contribute to society. But after i lost my faith..although i was relieved at the abolition of the fear of hell from my thoughts...I felt like I was a member of a demographic that is destined to be outdone by the demands of the time. I was too stupid and hperactive and anxiety ridden...I wouldnt be able to get a decent job or even get married and have family...because no woman would want to date beneath her eocnomically (who would blame them?) I eventually got some therapy and got my anxiety under control...i moved back home and things with parents are doing fine...and now im able to work part time while im pursuing an associates paralegal degree, and might work on bachelors in the future...but I still feel just left out and on my own...the idea that no one created me for anything and that im just a biological reality isnt exactly comforting...but then again..the same god i felt vindication of my value from also wanted to torture me forever in fire...so it was a trade off..but im trying to cope and make a life i can feel proud of..thats all i can do. thats my story.

Well, welcome aboard . . . there are lots of interesting and peculiar folk here.
As for the story of your life, it is only beginning. You have the benefit of most of your life ahead without the blinkers of religion, unlike most like myself here.
Wow, what a choice, between the JW church and atheism. Glad you chose the right one. - James
haha yup...i really dodged a bullet there...hoenstly i think ia cutally enjoyed the tribalism though...with the JW's especially ive always been a kind of introvert but enjoyed a gropup of clsoe friends and i always loved theology/philosopy so getting into an insulated community seemd pretty cool to me at the time..but I just didnt believe...and some of the stuff they believed was hella cray..i did get pulled in with their ideas about no literal burning hell and that they were very anti-nationalist and fucntionally pacifists...but in the end i chose reason and logic...and I think despite any of my issues im happiest living in the confines of reality.
Welcome to the forum John! There is no "end of men". The "rise of women" is just an elevation to an equal status, which all humans deserve no matter what their race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation is. If you observe closely, you will find that the leveling is nowhere near finished. There is still much inequality in the world. There will always be an inequality along some lines because we are not all the same. I recommend lots of reading on different subjects in your spare time. Sam Harris's "The Moral Landscape" is a good place to start. By learning more about our world and how people think, you will be able to effect a greater control of the direction you go in life.
I totally agree that equality is a great goal...but honestly if u look at some of the statistics...i think its torubling..boys really are falling behind..and im not eager to blame that on a feminsit conspriacy...being an atheist im someone that really has a mentalist of "Just tell me the truth..ima adult and i need to handle it"....ya know...maybe boys are just dumber...i hate that idea and i dont like that im kinda late getting on my college experience but that could be the case...im glad women are doing well..im just sad guys are keeping up and even more sad at the idea that i wont be financially appealing to women (and i dont blame women for this..but truth is ive found...women are not as willing to marry below themselves economically)...All i can do is stay in school and do my best...
Thanks! I was on zolfot for a while but i didnt think it seemed to help majorly and i would forget to take it all the time...so i jsut quit..my symptoms were very diverse at tdifferent times...before deciding against belief in god i had very religiously mtoivated obssessions and compulsions (i would balsphemous intrusive thoughts and then would attempt to pray them away etc...)...i had more germphobic one later on...after moving out of my parents house for about a year...which was laregly due to friction between me and my parents, i had time to relax and ween myself off of the behavior...i still sometimes overwash my hands..especially at work..but things got a lot better for me...although as you might tell from my intro..i still have obsessions about being inferior..especially in regards to women etc..but i definitely know OCD...ill probably always have a few issues but im moving along okay i think.
"...i still have obsessions about being inferior..especially in regards to women"
Take it from an ol' geezer and long time atheist, John,
women are superior. Waaaaay superior.
And, frequent washing of one's hands is a perfectly rational behavior, especially during flu season. Most communicable diseases are passed from hand to mouth, so you're ok there too.
Sounds like you have a fairly reasonable grasp of reality. You're fine John, just fine. Keep up your good work, relax, toss the pharmaceuticals (perhaps not a good idea), come on up to Colorado and have a smoke. (..."God's own", you know :-) fewer side effects too.)
Best wishes to you for a happy and productive new year.
Thanks...but honestly i think the fact that we often joke (i hope ur joking) about women being better than men is indicative with something wrong with society.
Well, John, if you think for one minute that I haven't thought about this a lot during my long life, or was joking, you are mistaken.
Why do you think women are kept barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen, or shrouded, or were kept from voting, or are the objects of polygamy, primogeniture exclusion, victims of glass ceilings, and, for the most part, historically excluded from high political or religious positions of power?
When you think about it there is only one answer: testosterone and its resulting physical advantage.
The mental, social, psychological, intellectual, and moral superiority of women is hard to argue against.
Why do you think Neanderthals like Rush Limbaugh still rant and rage against the feminist movement?
In all the ways that advance the common good of civilization, the stability of households, families, neighborhoods, education, social interaction, civility, measured contemplation, mediation, and just plain common sense, women, in my experience, have consistently demonstrated superiority.
Women are the reason we have any kind of civilization in the first place.
My life has always been enhanced when I've deferred to the judgment of a woman.
And my attitude ain't what's wrong with society.
Welcome John.

Further Details On The Foreign Spying The NSA Is/Isn't/Is Doing And How Much The Administration Knows/Doesn't Know/Knows
from the rhetoric-fight! dept
In only a handful of days, the usual leak-and-denial progression of the Snowden leaks has completely disintegrated. The pattern was comforting in its own way, but the battle lines are now in a state of flux.
More allegations about overseas spying surfaced. James Clapper issued a non-denial denial about the harvesting of phone data in France that attacked a claim no one was making ("recorded phone data?"). This was swiftly followed by identical claims involving phone data from Spain and Italy. More phone data, more NSA surveillance.
The bombshell, however, was the news that German Chancellor Merkel's phone had been tapped by the NSA for over a decade. This news inspired the NSA's unpaid PR flack, Dianne Feinstein, to express her outrage that powerful people might be on the receiving end of the NSA's unblinking eye. She threatened a "complete review" of the NSA's tactics. Or did she?
This news failed to derail Feinstein's push to codify the NSA's current practices, something that doesn't really go hand-in-hand with a "complete review." But even this vague promise from one of the NSA's staunchest defenders was enough to bring a few angry tears to the agency's eyes.
The tapping of Merkel's phone was first presented as, "This is the first I've heard of this!" by the president. He claimed to be unaware of this activity and Jay Carney sent out a detail-free apology to Merkel stating that the NSA was not currently surveilling her, nor would it be in the future. Of course, it had enjoyed an 11-year run without interruption, so the loss of this single intercept isn't much of a problem. It still has 35 other foreign officials on (literal) tap.
But the sting of Feinstein's sudden disapproval, combined with Obama's claims of ignorance prompted agency heads to fire back. First, they claimed Obama had known about the surveillance since 2010. Then the claim was walked back, with the NSA stating this information hadn't been forwarded to the President.
Then the administration, now engaged in multiple diplomatic battles, did something unexpected: it joined Feinstein in selling the agency out. Its defense of the agency had definitely been cooling over the past several weeks, but the NSA couldn't have expected to hear the President ask for "additional constraints" on its surveillance programs.
Slapped twice, the NSA retracted its retraction and swung back at the administration it felt had cut the agency adrift.
The White House and State Department signed off on surveillance targeting phone conversations of friendly foreign leaders, current and former U.S. intelligence officials said Monday, pushing back against assertions that President Obama and his aides were unaware of the high-level eavesdropping.Now, everyone's culpable. There are no "good guys" in this scenario. The administration attempted to slip out the back door unnoticed while the NSA defended the foreign surveillance it swore it wasn't doing, but the spooks had someone waiting in the alley. Having dragged the President and his staff down to its level, the NSA set about doing the same to its many accusers. All those collections of foreign phone data? "Not us."
U.S. officials said the Snowden-provided documents had been misinterpreted and actually show phone records that were collected by French and Spanish intelligence agencies, and then shared with the NSA, according to officials briefed on those discussions.As was suspected, these nations' own intelligence agencies and telcos were gathering data and passing it on to the NSA. The intelligence agency was technically correct (the best kind of "correct"). It wasn't directly harvesting data. But it acquired the data nonetheless. It went even further in its denials, claiming that what was gathered wasn't even all that intrusive.
Based on an analysis of the document, the U.S. concluded that the phone records the French had collected were actually from outside of France, and then were shared with the U.S. The data don't show that the French spied on their own people inside France.By stating the information dealt with non-domestic calls, the called-out intelligence agencies likely breathed a (short-lived) sigh of relief at not having been accused of anything approaching the NSA's level of domestic surveillance.
U.S. intelligence officials haven't seen the documents cited by El Mundo but the data appear to come from similar information the NSA obtained from Spanish intelligence agencies documenting their collection efforts abroad, officials said.
But even this illusion may not hold for long. During Mike Rogers' half-tantrum, half-circle jerk "intelligence hearing," Gen. Alexander coughed up some interesting answers in response to Rogers' lobbed softballs and smug "hmmms". If you can weave your way through Alexander's semantic smokescreen, the NSA head admits that not only is the NSA gathering European phone records directly but it (along with local intelligence agencies) is targeting wholly domestic communications. Marcy Wheeler at emptywheel breaks it down.
Rogers starts by asking Alexander to elaborate, specifically with regards to the US and NSA (he may be invoking the WSJ story, but he doesn't say so).Wheeler goes on to explain how Rogers conversationally leads Alexander to assert a defense against any future accusations about spying on foreign individuals, or any nation's attempts to spy on their own citizens. Rogers makes the point that anyone could use undersea cables, etc. -- not just citizens of Country X. He also says that Country X could have citizens from Country Y living within its borders. While all of this is undoubtedly true, Rogers is basically giving Alexander all the rationale he needs to justify the NSA directly collecting data from foreign countries as well as giving local intelligence agencies the justification for domestic spying.
Rogers: And to that end, if I can, Mr. Alexander, there was some reporting that the story about French citizens being spied on by a particular slide that was leaked on a slide deck concluded that French citizens were being spied on. Can you expound on that a little bit? By the United States, by the way, specifically the National Security Agency.
Reading from a document of some sort, Alexander repeats the gimmick Clapper used last week, suggesting that the reports said the NSA had collected phone calls (content), then "corrects" their report to say Boundless Informant actually tracks metadata (which is actually what the reports had said).
Alexander: Chairman, the assertions by reporters in France, Le Monde, Spain, El Mundo, and Italy, L'Espresso, that NSA collected tens of millions of phone calls are completely false. They cite as evidence screen shots of the results of a web tool used for data management purposes but both they and the person who stole the classified data did not understand what they were looking at. The web tool counts metadata records from around the world and displays the totals in several different formats. [my emphasis]
Alexander then adds to last week's gimmick of claiming the Europeans reported these as calls, not metadata, by denying we, alone, collected this data.
The sources of the metadata include data legally collected by NSA under its various authorities as well as data provided to NSA by foreign partners. To be perfectly clear, this is not information that we collected on European citizens. It represents information that we and our NATO allies have collected in defense of our countries and in support of military operations.
This is not information "we" collected (on European citizens, but I'll come back to that), it's data "collected by NSA … as well as data provided … by foreign partners." It's data "we and our NATO allies have collected."
Those conjunctions — "as well as" … "and" — which in Alexander's written statement make it clear that both the Europeans and US collect this intelligence, disappeared from much of the reporting on this.
Rogers: Hmm. And so, let me just ask you this. If, as you study the networks of the world, let's just talk about the European Union for a second if I may. Is it possible for Chinese intelligence services, military or otherwise, to use networks that you would find in any nation-states of the European Union?As it stands right now, the NSA has come out of the last batch of leaks related to foreign surveillance relatively unscathed. But the key is "relatively." At best, it comes out looking no better than the administration or its counterparts in foreign countries. Details have emerged indicating both Spain and France have gathered data and turned it over to the NSA, but French intelligence maintains it never gathered or turned over 70 million phone records in one month, perhaps suggesting there are parallel operations running here.
Alexander: Absolutely, Chairman.
Rogers: How about Russian intelligence services? Is it possible that they could use networks–communication networks, computer networks–inside the European Union for what they're up to?
Alexander: Absolutely, Chairman.
Rogers: How about al Qaeda? Would they use, could they use, is it possible for them to use the networks found in the European Union to conduct planning, operations, or execution of operations?
Alexander: They could, absolutely, Chairman. [my emphasis]
So, without touching the very latest leak, here's what we know/don't know.
The NSA did/did not/sort of did/still does/will-with-varying-amounts-of-cooperation collect millions of phone records overseas, phone records which did/did not involve wholly domestic communications and were/were not gathered solely by foreign intelligence agencies.
The NSA DID intercept world officials' communications, something the administration was/wasn't/was aware of. This has been condemned by the administration and intelligence leaders, which shows exactly what an intelligence agency has to do to lose top level support: anger the wrong people and, more importantly, get caught.
The NSA is now fully engaged in its own defense. Losing support it assumed was guaranteed has forced it to start playing dirty. With the administration swiftly extracting itself from this codependent relationship and an angered (but for all the wrong reasons) Sen. Feinstein targeting any number of surveillance programs, the NSA can no longer rely on rehashing talking points and staying above the fray. This will get nastier as it goes on, and that's wonderful. Any opponent of the NSA's programs has to be thrilled to see the agency left to fend for itself. Anyone who enjoys watching government entities forced to confront their own bad decisions has to be thrilled as well. It looks like the NSA is beginning to feel that if it can't have any secrets, neither can anyone else it "answers" to.

Tommy Johnson Jr.'s NHRA career is one destined for Hollywood treatment because of its roller-coaster highs and lows. A personable 46-year-old from Ottumwa, Iowa, who started drag racing at age 15 and won his first national event in 1988, added to his trophy collection last Sunday at the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn.
Driving the Make-A-Wish Dodge Funny Car for Don Schumacher Racing, Johnson ended a seven-year victory drought with a win over Tim Wilkerson in the finals. It was his 10th career NHRA pro triumph, eighth in Funny Car and second on Father's Day. He's just one of 15 racers who have won in both Top Fuel and Funny Car categories.
It's not been an easy path for Johnson, who went basically five years without a ride after team owner/racer Kenny Bernstein stepped away from the sport. Johnson was selected by Schumacher and team sponsor Terry Chandler late last year to take over for Johnny Gray, Chandler's brother who opted not to continue on a full-time basis. He made that decision look great with round wins over past champions Cruz Pedregon, Robert Hight and Matt Hagen.
Johnson's career dips continued this season as his Dodge blew up in Atlanta and Englishtown, N.J. However, the John Collins crew worked through an off-day last week at the Schumacher facility in Avon, Ind., preparing for the Bristol race.
"It was quite a payoff," said Johnson, who'll be in action this weekend in Epping, N.H. "We had been close all year (semifinals twice). It's not that we haven't been competitive, we just haven't been able to put it all together on Sunday.
"I wanted to prove that we're not in a slump, it's just tough out here. We just needed to step it up a little bit."
Johnson, who gave DSR its first Funny Car win of the campaign, is third in points, trailing Hight and John Force. He's in solid position to gain entry into the Countdown to the Championship for the first time in his career.
"At the winner's circle ceremony, (public address announcer) Alan Reinhart said it had been seven years since he last talked to me in the ceremony. He asked if it would be seven more years before we did it again," said Johnson. "I told him seven days."
Johnson has also been buoyed by the positive energy displayed by Chandler and the Make-A-Wish kids he's hosted throughout the year.
"We gave the 'Wally' (winner's trophy) to her, she certainly deserved it," said Johnson, "She wants to help everybody giving back, always happy. And the kids are so positive, they have a great attitude, having a good time, excited and happy.
"After a poor qualifying run, two little girls came over and said how proud they were. That sure changed our outlook, it's not that big a deal for us when we look at their precious smiles. We just let everyone know what great things they do for these kids that are fighting life-threatening illnesses. To see them smile when they're going through tough things warms my heart and now we got them a win."
Historic Festival
Auto Club Speedway will be the site of a three-day Historic Festival beginning Friday that will feature a wide variety of cars, pace car laps and the celebration of Lotus cars (60 years) and Mustangs (50 years).
If that isn't enough, event posters created by legendary artist Hector Cademartori will be available for $5. That's a far cry from the original poster, which will be auctioned off starting at $950 for the Fred Jordan Mission.
In addition, the pace car fees will also be donated to charity.
There will be around 20 vintage Indy/Champ cars that will post exhibition laps on the oval and Historic Stock cars have also been invited. There will be eight race groups, totaling 150 cars, including a trio of Formula car groups ranging from Formula Vees to Indy cars and three production classes that will include Datsuns, Alfa Romeos, BMWs, Corvettes, Shelby Cobras and Can-Am cars.
Sonoma treats
If one ever needed a reason to attend the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, it's the Speedway Children Charities auction before the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
Among the items for the 9 a.m. event are 15 "Ride of a Lifetime" opportunities. It not only includes pre-race ceremonies with a driver, but a lap around the road course with the driver. The list of drivers incluide Kurt and Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Danica Patrick, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, Dennny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, Boris Said and the two Southern California drivers, Josh Wise and David Gilliland.
To make it easier for fans, the track and California Highway Patrol have put together a comprehensive traffic plan that will make it easier on those attending the race and visitors to wine country.
Racing around SoCal
Pirate Speedway in San Bernardino will have Military Appreciation Night on Friday, with speedway and sidecar racing starting at 8 p.m. … Thursday Night Thunder at Irwindale Dragstrip at 5 p.m. on Saturday at Irwindale Speedway, it's Late Models, Super Late Stocks, Super Stocks Mini Stocks, South West Tour Trucks and skid-plate racing. … Speedway bikes top the program Saturday night at Costa Mesa Speedway beginning at 7:30 p.m. … Northridge's Doug Lambeck finished first in Comp Eliminator in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series meet last week in Fallon, Nev., with a run of 8.8815 seconds at 153.28 mph. Jurupa Valley's Ken Eller was Super Stock runner-up while Diamond Bar's Kailyn Savolt was first in Jr. Dragster 13-14 and Maverick Malloy of Chino Hills second in the 10-12 class. … James Stewart, riding for Chino-based Yoshimura Suzuki, won the AMA Pro Motocross event last week in Mt. Morris, Pa, and is third behind leader Ken Roczen by 22 points. Redlands' Josh Grant was fifth and is sixth in the standings. … Billy Janniro heads the field next Wednesday night at Industry Speedway that also features sidecars. … Perris Auto Speedway will be dark Saturday night, with PASSCAR competition set for June 28. Matt Mitchell was the wire-to-wire winner of last week's USAC/CRA Sprint Car main.
