Whether you enjoy nothing more than carving perfectly groomed motorway cruisers in between slopeside coffee (or Vin Chaud), charging hard on double black diamonds, or bumping through mountainous mogul fields, the common denominator is the sticks under your feet. Not all piste skis are created equal but they all have a common denominator and that is being staunchly set on taking you down the mountain in between the markers.
Even within this well-defined category there are hundreds of different ski models available across scores of brands which makes the task of choosing your downhill slaying weapon somewhat baffling and potentially even a little overwhelming.
Piste skis should come up to between chin and eye level. Your skill level will also affect the length to an extent, with shorter skis usually being easier to handle than their longer counterparts. Also consider that if you're particularly heavy or light for your height you should go up or down a few centimetres in ski length to compensate.
A piste ski will usually have a shorter sidecut radius than an all mountain or freeride ski, as you look down the length of the ski there will be a pronounced curve between the nose and tail. This makes for quick turns and easy turn initiation, but the resulting narrow waist won't provide much float in powder. The length of the sidecut radius will influence how the ski feels from edge to edge so think about whether you like long carving GS style turns or quick, flicking turns.
If you lay a ski down on the floor or a table and look at it side on, you'll notice that the base rises and falls along its length. Imagine a banana balanced on its side. If the ends of the banana are touching the surface it can be said to have a traditional or positive camber profile, if the middle is touching it has a rocker, or banana, profile.
As a rule of thumb if you want a piste orientated ski look for one with a positive camber profile for maximum contact and therefore control along the length of the ski.
Congratulations, you've nailed your criteria and you're halfway to choosing your next ski, but to make the next step a little easier our team of testers have ridden and rated all the new skis from the top brands in the world to bring you our selection of the very best available to buy this season.
Their pedigree oozes Hirscher and Shiffrin's personality, although channelling that is always going to be a challenge. But when those rare moments happen and you get a glimpse of what it might be like to perform at that level, the Redster's become your friend.
They work surprisingly well at slow speeds too, in those 'ski instructor' style turns that don't need to be 100% super-charged. So whilst they don't let you down when the effort is more relaxed, they do demand a strong standard of technical ability to perform at the required level. Like a horse that can smell a novice rider and reject their clumsy attempts to control it, the Redster's will spit you out of every turn if you don't show respect.
"Lady in red, is skiing with me, turn to turn." Pros should pick these for supreme response.
If you've found yourself in any way disappointed by the slightly 'soft' performance of Salomon's women's piste skis in recent years then look lively because the S/Max W Blast is about to stir things up!
Designed to deliver uncompromising performance on the piste, the S/Max W Blast is a real resort ripper. With minimal tip rocker, race camber, full sidewall construction and Salomon's Edge Amplifier, the S/Max W Blast is packed full of performance-related tech to enhance precision and power around the mountain.
The S/Max W Blast knows how to get into a turn and to hold it there, offering reassuring and real energy throughout. The Double Titanal Laminate provides stability when travelling at high speeds and with zero underfoot chatter, you can really rely on the S/Max W Blast and relax into the ride.
With its 17m turning radius, the S/Max W Blast wants to carve yet is still versatile enough to respond in steeper, icier sections when shorter, fast feet-style turns may be required.
At £750 including bindings, the S/Max W Blast may be eye-wateringly expensive, but it really is a bloody good ski. It excels on fast red/black runs where you can open up and let it rip.
Predictable, easy to control and super grippy, ideal for hard-charging skiers.
There's no carbon or metal in the Flair 76 Elite meaning it's less stiff and aggressive than many expert skis. As a lighter ski with a dual wood core profile, the Flair 76 Elite may go straight into the 'intermediate' category when it comes to the business of ski categorisation but when it actually comes to smashing down groomers, it's capable of seriously high-end fun!
Playful and responsive, the Flair 76 Elite was easy to throw into the turn and as long as you stay at the front of your boots and drive it through the full arc then you'll be in for a solid and super enjoyable ride.
If you're looking for a really good everyday resort ski and have no desire to pop off the side into the off piste then the Volkl Flair 76 Elite is an ideal choice. Obviously super high-end aggressive skiers will be looking for more of a race oriented ski but for the majority of skiers looking to cruise blue and reds and push their level onto black runs, the Flair 76 Elite will facilitate and flatter.
Easy to ski, great value and able to hold an edge - this is a confidence-boosting ski.
First impressions at slower speeds are good. They turn with ease and have a nice, natural progression through the turn, neither holding back and understeering nor over turning too easily. This balance makes them a joy to ski in slower to medium paced GS style turns on groomed snow, especially if it's slightly softer. On harder packed surfaces, the edge grip is good, although lacks a full bite compared to higher end skis that are more race orientated.
Cranking them up to higher speeds, they handle things pretty well, but do lack a little stability when things become turbo charged. But then again, they aren't a race ski, so we can't expect them to act like one.
A great budget choice for advanced skiers who like to carve on well-groomed pistes.
If you've been looking for a ski that allows you to push your limits and delivers when you really commit, then the Elan Speed Magic is for you.
Dynamic and punchy, the precision and agility really shows the Speed Magic's racing heritage. With a radius of 10.5-14m depending on which length you go for, the Speed Magic definitely sits towards the slalom end of the racing spectrum and short to medium turns are where it really excels.
At just 68mm underfoot the Speed Magic certainly loves to find an edge and goes into the turn with confidence and ease. Longer carved turns require more precision from the pilot as the Speed Magic is so keen to turn, but rising to that challenge is simultaneously fun and progressive.
The Arrow Technology of the shaped carbon plates and titanium structural layers work together in the tip of the ski to give super-easy turn initiation and the power and energy transferred up to the tip goes straight onto a solid edge that feels like it will hold through anything. Combined with the Early Rise Rocker of the tip and tail, it all works to increase the smoothness of the ride and delivers a really well balanced feel.
Performance also comes from the Power Shift, a free flex plate-in-plate design that dampens vibrations within the Speed Magic beautifully, reducing chatter particularly on hard-pack snow.
At 68mm underfoot, it's certainly more of a challenge off-piste but it will work for expert skiers who embrace the experience of earning their turns. On the piste the Speed Magic is a great option for the improving advanced skier as the responsiveness will tell you immediately when you are getting it right.
Dynamic, punchy, precise and agile - the Elan Speed Magic is an excellent choice.
Having said that, the word that all our testers put forward was 'fun.' Plain and simple, and arguably what K2 do best. The Charger is flexible, light, poppy and forgiving. It wants you to ski well, and it wants to help you into long carving turns and bounce you in and out of short turns.
After a versatile piste ski at a great price that offers a big dose of fun? Look no further.
They're also eye-wateringly expensive, which makes the cheap attempt at retro looking graphics – a flash of a pink accent fore and aft – more or less unforgivable. There is a black version available, but frankly you'll be hoping your money was spent on what's beneath the surface. And in that you won't be disappointed.
'Exceptional on-piste skis with fierce grip' said one of our testers. But what really stands out is that the Deacon 74 wants to go fast, and they need to be driven hard. They are entirely capable in short quick turns – although a little effort is required – but they clearly prefer to lay into long, fast carving turns and then snap you out of them at the finish.
Easily one of the best on-piste skis of this year, worth it if you love the groomed stuff.

The Menendez brothers: A look at their childhood, the murder, the trial
Brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of the 1989 murders of their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez at their Beverly Hills mansion. Erik, left, and Lyle, right, are pictured in this undated photo together with their father Jose, who was a successful Cuban-American business executive. Before the wealthy family moved to Beverly Hills, the Menendez brothers grew up in an affluent neighborhood of Princeton, New Jersey.
Jose and Kitty Menendez, pictured together in this undated photo, met while both were students at Southern Illinois University and moved to the east coast, where Jose started working for the entertainment industry. According to those who knew them, Jose and Kitty were very concerned about their family's public image. In a 1996 interview with Barbara Walters, Erik described his relationship with his father as "brutal, painful, torturous, and yet I admired him, because he was so strong and he was everything that success was, that I was taught that success was."

Erik, left, and Lyle, right, moved with their family to Calabasas, California, in 1987, when Erik was in high school. The family later moved from Calabasas to Beverly Hills after the brothers were caught burglarizing houses in the neighborhood. By spring of 1989, Kitty's brother Brian Andersen told ABC News, Jose said he was disappointed in his sons and was thinking about having them removed from his will.
The Menendez family's Beverly Hills mansion is pictured in this police evidence photo. On Aug. 20, 1989, Lyle called 911 to report that his parents had been shot and killed inside the home. When police arrived, Lyle and Erik lied and said they had been at the movies and found their parents dead when they returned home.
Los Angeles District Attorney
The inside of the Menendez family's home where Jose and Kitty Menendez were found dead is pictured in this police evidence photo. "Kitty was wearing white. She was covered in blood," Beverly Hills Police Det. Leslie Zoeller said. "Jose had a shot gun blast to the back of his head, blood everywhere. … It was really horrendous."

Liam Gillick is as much a maker of objects as he is a theoretician, writer, and teacher who has worked widely in the fields of design and architecture. Born in England in 1964, he studied at Goldsmiths College in London before moving to New York City. It is difficult to separate Gillick's artworks from his complex and ongoing intellectual exploration of the interaction of social, moral, political, and ideological forces in the environment. From corporate office suites to communes, bars, and lobbies, he investigates the semiotics of architecture in fictional yet non-narrative essays and books, installations, and objects such as this one.
With Localised Discussion Screen, Gillick has appropriated the forms of corporate office architecture. Although the work alludes to the soundproof barriers used to separate office cubicles, its title suggests that the artist intends that it encourages communication, not limit it. The asymmetrical and elegantly balanced linear composition also recalls early modern art and architecture associated with such utopian movements as the de Stijl group in The Netherlands. Recently Gillick's critique of the ways in which capitalism and corporate culture shape the environment has focused on the legacies of such communal and socialist thinking. His sculptures and installations are visual expressions of this broad-based theoretical analysis of the ways in which ideology is manifested in architecture and how, in turn, architecture affects social interaction.

Does Bible ban tattoos? No, scoffs shopping center church that also offers cage fighting
The Bridge, an offbeat church in a Flint, Michigan shopping center, is offering tattoos to its members. It also offers occasional classes in cage fighting, poetry slams and auto repair.
"A Michigan pastor who says he's doing everything he can to reach out to people who don't feel comfortable at a traditional house of worship has opened a tattoo parlor inside his church," reports Businessweek magazine.
Pastor Steve Bentley's tattoo
But tattoos? What's next, mixed martial arts? Professional wrestling exhibitions? Actually, the Bridge church has already offered both. It seems the Rev. Steve Bentley says his ministry is built on his conviction that mainstream Christian evangelism has become ineffective and irrelevant to most folks.
Toward that end, he hired Tattoo artists Ryan Brown and Drew Blaisdell and opened Serenity Tattoo inside the 30,000 square feet that the 500-member church owns at Flint Township's Carman Plaza shopping center.
"Just down the hall from the Rev. Steve Bentley's office and around the corner from the galvanized watering trough used for baptisms," reports the Mlive news website. There the tattoo artists ply "their trade by appointment or from noon until 8 p.m., Monday-Saturday.
And one of their best customers is the parson. His back is a Christian mural.
But what about Leviticus 19:28, which plainly says, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves." That would seem pretty straightforward.
Yeah, counters Bentley, but what about Isaiah 44:5, which proclaims in part: "This one will say, 'I am the Lord's' and … another will write on — Continued on Page Two

As someone who takes reviewing beers seriously I always worry about the various biases that slip into my reviews. If I'm unimpressed with a beer that is rated highly on BeerAdvocate, does that mean my tastes are not sufficiently refined, or is it a case of the emperor's new clothes? If I'm drinking a beer that won a medal at the Great American Beer Festival, it's hard not to be predisposed to give it a good review. The list of biases doesn't stop there, but I'm sure you get the idea. Ryan Langrill at BeerGraphs has written a very good article on the biases that are most prevalent in beer ratings. If you are interested in that kind of thing I encourage you check out his article.
Although not completely foolproof, the best way to avoid biases is to do blind taste tests. Therefore, I periodically organize blind taste tests to sample a variety of beers in a given style category. Styles that have been subjected to a Pat's Pints blind taste test in the past include Belgian Quads, American Porters, Imperial IPAs, and Black IPAs. In this round of blind taste testing we focus on one of my favorite styles, Saisons. Before launching into the results of the taste test we'll take a short detour to learn a little more about this Belgian style that was at one time almost extinct, but is now hipper than skinny jeans and a pair of Chuck Taylors. If you are already a Saison expert you can skip over those sections and get right to the results.
The saison style originated in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium. Saisons were historically brewed through the cooler winter and spring months for consumption during the summer. They are often called farmhouse ales because they were brewed principally at farmhouse breweries for consumption by the farm hands. Just about every description of saisons that I've read mentions two pieces of information that seem slightly contradictory. They need to be strong enough to last through the summer without spoiling, but with a low enough abv that they could be served to farmworkers during the workday without inebriating them. At one point the saison style looked as though it might die out, but it has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance, especially among US craft brewers. At the 2013 Great American Beer Festival there were 119 entrants in the Saison category, sixth most among the 84 style categories.
The tap room at Rockmill, a true farmhouse brewery.
As with many Belgian styles a brewer can exercise considerable creativity and still fall under the big tent that is the saison family. The color can range from straw yellow to amber, and in recent times some breweries have even started brewing black saisons. Adjuct grains like wheat and spelt are sometimes used, but not required. A variety of herbs and spices can be found in saisons, but not all saisons contain them. The hop flavor and bitterness can range from low to moderate, but when the hops are noticeable they should be spicy or earthy in character. Some saisons are tart and mildly sour (like Sophie), while some make use of Brettanomyces yeast, aka Brett, to get those funky aromas and flavors beer reviewers call barnyard (like Seizoen Bretta).
Because saisons are one of my favorite styles it was difficult to narrow down the field to a manageable number of beers. I wanted to include several local beers to see how they stacked up against highly regarded beers from elsewhere in the world, so four of the twelve beers I chose are from Central Ohio. Two beers, Saison Supér and Petit Saison, are from Rockmill Brewery. Rockmill specializes in Belgian-style beers and their brewery southeast of Columbus is actually located a farm. So it's fitting they make farmhouse ales. I've also included Coop Looter Saison from Sideswipe Brewing and Ingenuity Lemongrass Saison from Actual Brewing, both located in Columbus. I included one Belgian brewed saison that had been sitting in my beer refrigerator since last fall, Saison Hiver from Brasserie Fantôme. I rounded out the field with saisons from US craft breweries that are (for the most part) known to be adept at making Belgian-style beers: Hennepin from Brewery Ommegang (New York), Saison Rue from The Bruery (California), Pepe Nero from Goose Island (Illinois), Ovila Saison from Sierra Nevada (California), Seizoen Bretta from Logsdon Farmhouse Ales (Oregon), Funky Galaxy from Prairie Artesian Ales (Oklahoma), and Cellar Door from Stillwater (Gypsy/Contract brewer).
To calibrate everyone's tastes to what a saison is supposed to be we started with a bottle of the quintessential saison, Saison Dupont Vielle Provision. I won't go into the details of that beer, suffice to say it is the classic against which other saisons are judged. If interested you can read my review of that beer.
Just like previous blind tastings the judges were blind to the identities of the beers and we were using the BJCP scoring system (50 points in total—12 points for aroma, 3 points for appearance, 20 points for flavor, 5 points for mouthfeel, and 10 points for overall impression). My wife Laurinda graciously agreed to serve everyone so that I could participate in the tasting. I was joined in the tasting by several of my beer loving friends: Mark and his wife Joan, Ted, Josh, Tom, and Anne. With the exception of Joan and Anne everyone else is a veteran of one or more Pat's Pints taste test.
Our distinguished panel of judges.
Here are the results counting down from our lowest rated beer to the highest. The ratings represent the collective opinion of the tasting group. I have to say at the outset that nearly all of the beers were quite good. I would gladly buy and drink at least 11 of the 12 entrants. I've written reviews of several of the beers that finished in the middle of the pack and they have all received overall ratings of 8 or higher (on my 1-10 scale). So don't be too upset if your favorite beer didn't finish in one of the top couple of places.
Earlier this year we did a blind tasting of Belgian Quads and this beer's sister, Ovila Quad, finished in the top spot among North American brewed quads. So I was a little surprised when the identities of the beers were revealed and Sierra Nevada finished on the bottom (although they did also finish on the bottom of our American Porter blind tasting). Not a terrible beer by any stretch, but compared to the other saisons we tasted this beer was a little thicker and maltier. That is to say not as crisp and dry as the others. Even though it's brewed with mandarin oranges none of us picked up overt orange flavors, in fact the fruity esters are pretty restrained overall. The black peppercorns and/or the Saison yeast do lend a moderate level of peppery spiciness at the finish.
I visited The Bruery back in March and was very impressed with their beers. Furthermore, the BeerAdvocate and RateBeer ratings for Saison Rue are amongst the highest in this competition, so I had relatively high expectations for this beer. Unfortunately, it failed to live up to those expectations. It combines a honey-like sweetness with a fruity ester profile, bananas being the easiest fruit to pick out. There was uniform agreement that it was the sweetest beer of the evening. Not an unpleasant beer but it drinks more like a Belgian Blonde than a Saison.
The first of four Central Ohio brewed saisons in the contest, Rockmill's Petit Saison is a fruity offering with notes of orange and banana. The fluffy white head that develops on pouring dissipates quite quickly. Although it starts out slightly sweet the mouthfeel is light bodied and the finish is clean and dry. As Ted put it, Petit Saison is easy drinking and accessible but not overly complex or ambitious. Given the fact that this is a lower ABV version of the standard Rockmill Saison brewed for summer, I would imagine that is exactly what the brewer intended. Still for nearly $14 a bottle I expect a little more ambition.
This is the second Central Ohio brewed saison in the list. When I reviewed this beer back in February I was very high on it. In this contest it came across as a quaffable, easy drinking Belgian-style ale. Both fruity esters and spicy phenolics are present. The mouthfeel is light bodied and appropriately carbonated, and the finish is dry and crisp. It has everything you want from a saison, but in this distinguished field it was not able to stand out from the crowd. On the plus side it is the most affordable of the local saisons.
Stillwater is known for making a variety of tasty Saisons. So from the outset I wanted to put one of their beers into the competition. I ended up opting for Cellar Door, a beer brewed specifically for summertime drinking using Sterling and Citra hops and a touch of white sage. This is another beer that I have previously reviewed. It's hopped at a level comparable to Saison Dupont, so unlike most of the saisons here bright citrus notes from the hops come through. The Stillwater yeast strain that gives it earthy notes that remind me of Brett barnyard funk, although to my knowledge Brettanomyces yeast is not used in making this beer. It drinks clean and crisp and ends with a dry finish. There is a bit of peppery phenolic character at the finish, but less than most of its competitors here. This beer reminds me a little of Orval and if I were the only judge in this contest it would have finished a little higher.
Like Sideswipe, Actual Brewing is another one of the new Columbus breweries. Ingenuity, their latest offering, pours with a billowing white head and its aroma is similar to the other traditional saisons. The taste is smooth wheat malts and citrus fruits. A bit of spicy black pepper arrives at the finish, but make no mistake this saison has more citrus fruit than spice. Despite the massive head that develops on pouring the mouthfeel is strangely undercarbonated. It does have the lowest abv of any of the twelve beers we sampled. Like the Rockmill's Petit Saison it comes across as more of an easy drinking summertime beer than a world class saison.
This is a favorite of mine and the only beer I've rated as a perfect 10 since starting this site. Thanks go out to my friends Michelle and Andy for ferrying it out to me from Oregon. Seizoen Bretta is also the most highly rated beer of the twelve on the big beer rating sites. However the rest of the group was a little less effusive in their love for the work of my favorite yeast, Brettanomyces. Not surprisingly this beer has more Brett barnyard aromas and flavors than any other beer we tasted. At the same time the spicy phenols and fruity esters are dialed back compared to a traditional Saison. The head retention and lacing were impressive, hands down the best of the night. The mouthfeel was wine-like and on the thin side, and there was the slightest hint of a metallic taste on the finish. Maybe I was too effusive when I gave it a 10 last fall, but it is still an excellent beer.
This beer is the winter seasonal from avant-guard Belgian brewer Danny Prignon and his Brasserie Fantôme. From what I've read Fantôme beers can be hit or miss. Here they have crafted a beer that is very much in the mold of a traditional Saison, but with everything dialed up to eleven. The yeasts have gone about their job aggressively producing bold flavors of clove and black pepper than linger on well after the finish. Fruity esters are also present. It's effervescent and the body is a little more substantial than most of the beers we sampled.
Purists will probably object to including this beer in the contest, because it is both black and features hops (Galaxy hops from Australia) more prominently than is generally acceptable for a saison, but it is labeled as a farmhouse ale and I had a bottle in my beer fridge, so why not. Not only is it black, but it is utterly opaque with a substantial creamy beige head that leaves a nice pattern of lacing as it departs. The nose is all citrus fruits, surprisingly lime is the most distinctive fruit in the mix. Despite the black color there is almost no roasted malt character in the taste, and just the slightest kiss of spicy phenolics at the finish. Instead the taste follows the nose with lime/grapefruit citrus flavors, a creamy mouthfeel, and a clean finish. I don't think I've ever tasted a beer with this flavor profile. Tastewise it's closer to a black IPA than a saison, but if you throw out the style guidelines it's a damn good beer.
Another black saison, Goose Island's Pepe Nero is brewed with black peppercorns to accentuate the black pepper byproducts of the yeast, and rye is used in the malt bill to further enhance the spiciness. The dark roasted malt flavors are the main attraction here, but the black pepper flavors make themselves known at the finish. Mark described it as something of a cross between a Baltic porter and a saison. There is a lot of flavor in this beer, but nothing that really challenges your palate (no acquired tastes needed to like Pepe Nero). It scores bonus points for a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Not as edgy as Seizoen Bretta or Cellar Door, but it was well liked by everyone.
In the battle of Central Ohio brewed saisons, Rockmill's Saison Supér comes out on top by a comfortable margin. It has a boatload of phenolic spiciness—flavors of black pepper and cloves grab much of your attention. It is a shade on the sweet side, but fortunately it stops short of going over the edge and becoming cloying. The brewers at Rockmill use a larger dose of Noble hops in this beer than they do in their normal Saison, which I think helps keep the sweetness of the malts in check. I am at times critical of Rockmill for being more expensive than beers that come from Belgium, but here they show that they can brew beers that hold their own with the best Belgian brewed saisons.
In a field where the scores for many beers were closely spaced, Hennepin emerged as the clear winner. It pours a hazy yellow with a creamy white head that slowly recedes to leave chunky white islands of foam floating on the surface of the beer. There is a harmonious blend of black pepper/clove spiciness and refreshing citrus fruitiness. It finishes crisp and dry leaving you with lingering notes of citrus and spice. It's an unexpected bonus that it is one of the most affordable beers of the twelve we tasted. If you are looking for the best combination of taste, price and availability in a beer that stays true to the classic Saison style, Hennepin is the clear choice.
That wraps it up for another blind taste test. Some of the big boys in the craft brewing world did not fare so well (Sierra Nevada, The Bruery). The local beers held their own but for the most part were not quite in the upper echelon, Rockmill's Saison Supér being the exception. For the classic saison profile it is hard to beat Hennepin, but if you want to go in a slightly different direction there are beers here to please any palate. Long gone are the days when you had to work on a farm to enjoy a saison, so what are you waiting for.
Good suggestion, I like Jolly Pumpkin beers, but I've not had Ban Noir.
We did do a blind tasting between Bam Biere and Rockmill Saison in the Ohio vs. Michigan beer challenge last fall and Bam Biere cam out on top.
No Saint Somewhere? They're the best in the US for Farmhouse Saisons.
I've read a few good things about Saint Somewhere, but sadly (for me) they don't distribute to Ohio. I will have to keep my eyes open for them though. Are there particular Saint Somewhere beers that you would recommend?
Cynthiana, Anne, Crepuscule, Pays Du Soleil, Vierge for Vierge Day and their staple Saison Athene.
Thanks. I see on their website that they do distribute to Indiana and Michigan, so on my next trip out of state I will try to find one or more of their beers. Thanks for the tip.

I decided that I wanted to be an attorney after working in the steel mill for several years and saw how people were treated in the workplace.

I have represented my clients at all levels from the administrative process all the way to the Ohio Supreme court where I have argued several cases successfully in front of the Supreme Court on behalf of my clients.

It's the 4th week of the semester. Time to catch up on writing and editing.
We learned writing skill #5, complex sentences.
This is week 4 of the semester. During week 6, you will have a quiz. The quiz is worth 10%. I will give you a study paper to help you prepare next week.
Spend 10 minutes writing in your personal journal.
Don't worry about grammar or spelling. In fact don't even use an eraser. Just write. I will write a word or phrase on the board to prompt your imagination, but you don't have to stay on that topic. This writing stays in your personal journal; I will not be reading it.
Let's review the writing skill we learned last week: complex sentences.
We will do a quick review exercise and then expand that knowledge by making a small change to the complex sentence. This writing skill will make your writing easier to understand and a little stylish.
Get the lesson worksheet here.
Want to review the key parts of the lesson at home? Here is a summary of the lesson posted on YouTube.
Spend 10 minutes writing in your personal journal. Don't worry about mistakes. Just create.
We will do another fluency writing drill to practice and relearn complex sentence construction. After we finish this exercise, take 10 minutes to edit your work. Find the mistakes, make the sentences better, and hand in for feedback.
This is writing activity #6.
Editing is a great way to help you see – or notice – errors in text. If you learn to find the mistakes in other people's writing, you should be able to find the errors in your writing.
I will give you two passages with instructions on paper. Find the mistakes. Rewrite the text.
The ESL editing questions are here. Self check the answers.
This will be the last writing assignment before the midterm exam. Writing assignment #7 is a short writing activity because the key points are accuracy and style.
It is a controlled writing activity because students must do something specific. The student is not free to write whatever he or she wants.
The two sentences together must be connected in some way. They are one idea.
After renting a hanbok, many tourists walk around the Hanok Maeul dressed like a queen or king and imagine what life might have been like 500 years ago inside an ancient palace. Then they take a selfie.
I can tell you right now that this type of question will be on the midterm exam.


The discovery of the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, namely the ideal amino acid pattern. MAP™ provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) for body protein synthesis (BPS).This is the highest NNU ever provided by any dietary protein or protein supplement.
As a result, the different brands of amino acid formulations that were manufactured in accordance to the daily amino acids requirement recommended by Rose, provided a very low NNU for BPS and a consequential increase in the level of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN).
After this crucial discovery, INRC felt more confident about the possibility of discovering the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, namely the ideal amino acid pattern that could provide the highest NNU for BPS.
Eventually, the discovery of MAP™ came as the result of more than 23 years of accurate, continuous, and persistent research. Finally, the results of INRC's state-of-the-art nitrogen balance clinical studies confirmed the discovery of the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, the ideal amino acid pattern capable of providing an unprecedented 99% NNU for BPS.


POP was designed to support "offline" mail processing. In the offline paradigm, mail is delivered to a (usually shared) server, and a personal computer user periodically invokes a mail "client" program that connects to the server and downloads all of the pending mail to the user's own machine. Thereafter, all mail processing is local to the client machine. Think of the offline access mode as a kind of store-and-forward service, intended to move mail (on demand) from the mail server (drop point) to a single destination machine, usually a PC or Mac. Once delivered to the PC or Mac, the messages are then deleted from the mail server. Although the limitations of offline access have triggered interest in using POP in online mode, POP simply doesn't have some of the functionality needed for high-quality online (or disconnected) operation. Indeed, POP's "pseudo online" mode of operation, wherein client programs leave mail on the server, often depends on pervasive availability of a remote file system protocol in order for the mail client to access or update saved-message folders or message state information such as status flags.
IMAP can also do offline processing, but its special strength is in online and disconnected operation. In online mode, mail is again delivered to a shared server, but the mail client does not copy it all at once and then delete it from the server. It's more of an interactive client-server model, where the client can ask the server for headers, or the bodies of specified messages, or to search for messages meeting certain criteria. Messages in the mail repository can be marked with various status flags (e.g. "deleted" or "answered") and they stay in the repository until explicitly removed by the user --which may not be until a later session. In short: IMAP is designed to permit manipulation of remote mailboxes as if they were local. Depending on the IMAP client implementation and the mail architecture desired by the system manager, the user may save messages directly on the client machine, or save them on the server, or be given the choice of doing either.
While offline and online mailers both allow access to new incoming messages on the mail server from a variety of different client platforms, the similarities stop there. The two paradigms reflect different requirements and styles of use and they don't mix very well. Offline works best for people who use a single client machine all the time; it is not well-suited for the goals of accessing one's inbox of recent messages or saved-message folders from different machines at different times. That's because if you use offline ("download and delete") mail access from different computers at different times, your mail tends to get scattered across the different computers, unless they are all linked to a common network file system (in which case your access mode is really more online than offline.) On the other hand, the chief virtue of offline access is that it minimizes use of server resources and connect time when used via dialup.
-Offline = on-demand retrieval to a single client machine.
-Online = interactive access to multiple mailboxes from multiple clients.
-Minimum use of connect time.
-Minimum use of server resources.
Online paradigm advantages: -Ability to use different computers at different times.
-Ability to use "data-less" client machines, as in labs.
-Platform-independent access to multiple mailboxes.
-Possibility of concurrent access to shared mailboxes.
The essential point is that with the online paradigm, one's incoming and archive message folders are stored on a server and may be accessed uniformly from different computers at different times, without relying on general purpose file system protocols (which are not uniformly available on all platforms, and which may also introduce performance and file locking problems). This is not an important goal for those who always use the same computer to access their email, but it is a very important one for those who use multiple computers.
-Both can support offline operation.
-Mail is delivered to a shared, "always up" mail server.
-New mail accessible from a variety of client platform types.
-New mail accessible from anywhere in network.
-Protocols are open; defined by Internet RFCs.
-Freely available implementations (including source) available.
-Clients available for PCs, Macs, and Unix.
-Internet oriented; no SMTP mail gateways required.
-Protocols deal with access only; both rely on SMTP to send.
-Both support persistent message IDs (for disconnected operation).
-Simpler protocol; easier to implement.
-More client software currently available.
-Can manipulate persistent message status flags.
-Can store messages as well as fetch them.
-Can access and manage multiple mailboxes.
-Can support concurrent updates and access to shared mailboxes.
-Suitable for accessing non-email data; e.g., NetNews, documents.
-Can also use offline paradigm, for minimum connect time and disk use.
-Companion protocol defined for user configuration management (IMSP).
-Constructs to permit online performance optimization, especially over low-speed links.
IMAP can manipulate persistent message status flags. These include flags such as "Seen", "Deleted", "Answered", as well as user-defined flags.
IMAP can store messages as well as fetch them. One can append a message from an incoming message folder to an archive folder (or vice versa).
IMAP can access and manage multiple mailboxes. This includes the ability to name and access different incoming and archive message folders, but also the ability to list, create, delete, and rename them. These mailboxes can be on the same server or on different servers. An IMAP client may allow you to see them at the same time, and move messages from one to the other.
IMAP can support concurrent updates and access to shared mailboxes. This capability is useful when multiple individuals are processing messages coming into a common inbox. Changes in mailbox state can be presented to all concurrently active clients via IMAP.
IMAP is suitable for accessing non-email data; e.g., NetNews, documents. This is handy for uniformly accessing different classes of information.
IMAP can also support the offline paradigm, for minimum connect time and server resources. The offline paradigm is useful in situations where the only access to a mail server is via expensive dialup connections and multi-platform access to one's mailboxes is not needed. It is also useful in environments where client machines are resource-rich and servers are resource-poor. Not all IMAP clients offer good offline processing support, but the protocol is certainly capable of it.
IMAP has a companion protocol defined for user configuration management called IMSP, the Internet Message Support Protocol. IMSP permits location-independent (multi-platform) access to personal configuration data such as address books.
IMAP has constructs to permit online performance optimization, especially over low-speed links. These include the ability to fetch the structure of a message without downloading it, to selectively fetch individual message parts, and the ability to use the server for searching in order to minimize data transfer between client and server.
In summary, IMAP offers advantages over POP in three areas: richer functionality in manipulating one's inbox, the ability to manage mail folders besides one's inbox, and primitives to allow optimization of online performance, especially when dealing with large MIME messages.
Because there are freely available IMAP development libraries, its additional complexity over POP should not be a significant barrier to use. Therefore, a reasonable conclusion is that the only advantage of POP over IMAP is that there is currently more POP software available. However, this is changing rapidly, and IMAP's functional advantages over POP are nothing less than overwhelming.
POP3 is defined in RFC-1725 and IMAP4 is defined in RFC-1730.
A current list of IMAP products may be found at http://www.imap.org/products/, and a listing of documents relevant to IMAP at http://www.imap.org/papers/biblio.html.
Also available in the /mail directory of ftp.cac.washington.edu is a POP server that, in addition to offering the normal POP service, can relay commands to an IMAP server, thus permitting existing POP clients to access an IMAP server.

THE HAPPY HOLLOWS in Samsung Mobile Commercial
Monday, December 28, 2009 Happy Hollows
First it was The Submarines' songs showing up on the iPhone's 3Gs commercials. Now The Happy Hollows is featured in the latest Samsung Mobile commercial which highlights the SWYPE technology on the Omnia II - only offered on Verizon wireless cells. Check out Sarah Negahdari rockin' out with bassist Charlie Mahoney and drummer Chris Hernandez performing "High Wire" in this cool commercial. Unfortunatlety, I'm on neither AT&T's iPhone nor Verizon. But if my favorite bands keep plugging these cells, I may have to switch carriers. I'm on Sprint (maybe Killola can do a commercial for Sprint! Wishful thinking...)

METALLICA'S KIRK HAMMETT PICKS DENGUE FEVER SONG FOR DECADE'S BEST LIST
Monday, December 28, 2009 Dengue Fever
Chhom Nimol of Dengue Fever performs at the Echoplex
Metallica's Kirk Hammett has chosen the song "One Thousand Tears of A Tarantula" from Cambodian-American band Dengue Fever for his Rolling Stone magazine Best Music Of The Decade Ballot. Selected the #2 song of the decade in order of importance, "Tears" sits between Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" and Mastodon's "Oblivion" [link]
Dengue Fever's music is a combination of classic Cambodian pop, Ethiopian jazz and Bollywood blitz, with lyrics mostly sung in lead singer Chhom Nimol's native language of Khmer. "One Thousand Tears of A Tarantula", originally released on 2005's Escape from Dragon House, and again on the 2009 soundtrack to the band's documentary DVD/CD soundtrack Sleepwalking Through The Mekong is a blistering jam with trance-like lyrics.
While there is no plan (yet) for Dengue Fever to cover "Call of Ktulu" from Metallica's Ride The Lightning, the band would certainly love to have Hammett guest on the track during the band's upcoming West Coast tour. Dengue Fever guitarist Zac Holtzman said, "It's a real honor to have Kirk Hammett pick "One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula" as the second best song of the decade. It's kind of mind-blowing actually. It also happens to be my mom's favorite song. We'd love to have Kirk come up onstage and take a solo when we hit the Bay Area next month."

And after what is sure to be a rockin' New Year's Eve show in hometown LA at The Mint (tickets still available at http://themintla.com), Dengue Fever heads up the coast in support of a new project out January 12 called Dengue Fever Presents: Electric Cambodia. Confirmed shows are as follows:
12/31 @ The Mint
01/07 @ SoHo, Santa Barbara, CA
01/08 @ The Independent, San Francisco, CA.
01/09 @ Berbati's Pan, Portland, OR
01/10 @ Neumo's, Seattle, WA
Dengue Fever combed through their personal collections of rare Cambodian cassettes and selected their fourteen favorite tracks for this compilation, featuring artists such as Sinn Sisamouth, Pan Ron, Ros Sereysothea and Dara Chom Chan.
Proceeds from this album will be donated to Cambodian Living Arts which supports the revival of Cambodian traditional art forms and works to inspire contemporary artistic expression.

Kassia Conway of All Wrong and the Plans Change
I've wanted to see Kassia Conway sing when I first heard her warm weathered voice singing for No Love Letters. Well, that never happened but I lucked out when she emerged fronting a new band, All Wrong and The Plans Change, along with drummer Amy Wood. Their debut album, "I'm Like Whatever," released earlier this year, is brewing with gloomy arrangements and catchy melodies that showcases the range of emotions in Conway's restrained but forceful vocals . Check out "I Get Down" and "Lately." And while you're at it, listen to "All Night Takes So Long" and "Hands" from her previous band No Love Letters. They won't disappoint! Be sure to check out All Wrong and The Plans Change when they play Spaceland on December 30th.
Here's All Wrong and the Plans Change performing "I Get Down" at the Viper Room December 13th.

Performing earlier in the night was the guitar-heavy Some Hear Explosions. Seeing them for the first time, they didn't disappoint. With their in-your-face anthem-like songs like "It's Our Time Now," you'd expect lead singer Ambre Leigh to be drowned out by their abrasive and colorful sounds but she easily rises and pushes forward with her commanding vocals. While in the ballad-esque, "Amazing," Leigh's voice resonates like a silky web of barbed-wire. I'll definitely catch them again when they peform.

How older adults can regain their game after being cooped up for over a year
Added by i898 on May 19, 2021
Alice Herb, 88, an intrepid New Yorker, is used to walking miles around Manhattan. But after this year of being shut inside, trying to avoid Covid-19, she's noticed a big difference in how she feels.
"Physically, I'm out of shape," she said. "The other day I took the subway for the first time, and I was out of breath climbing two flights of stairs to the street. That's just not me."
Emotionally, Herb, a retired lawyer and journalist, is unusually hesitant about resuming activities even though she's fully vaccinated. "You wonder, what if something happens, maybe I shouldn't be doing that, maybe that's dangerous," she said.
Millions of older Americans are similarly struggling with physical, emotional and cognitive challenges following a year of being cooped up inside, stopping usual activities and seeing few, if any, people.
If they don't address issues that have arisen during the pandemic — muscle weakness, poor nutrition, disrupted sleep, anxiety, social isolation and more — these older adults face the prospect of poorer health and increased frailty, experts warn.
Older adults begin to catch up on all that they missed during the pandemic
What should people do to address challenges of this kind? Several experts shared advice:
Reconnect with your physician. Large numbers of older adults have delayed medical care for fear of Covid-19. Now that most seniors have been vaccinated, they should schedule visits with primary care physicians and for preventive care screenings, such as mammograms, dental cleanings, eye exams and hearing checks, said Dr. Robert MacArthur, chief medical officer of the Commonwealth Care Alliance in Massachusetts.
Have your functioning assessed. Primary care visits should include a basic assessment of how older patients are functioning physically, according to Dr. Jonathan Bean, an expert in geriatric rehabilitation and director of the New England Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center at the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System.
At a minimum, doctors should ask, "Are you having difficulty walking a quarter-mile or climbing a flight of stairs? Have you changed the way you perform ordinary tasks such as getting dressed?" Bean suggested.
Get a referral to physical therapy. If you're having trouble moving around or doing things you used to do, get a referral to a physical or occupational therapist.
A physical therapist can work with you on strength, balance, range of motion and stamina. An occupational therapist can help you change the way you perform various tasks, evaluate your home for safety and identify needed improvements, such as installing a second railing on a staircase.
Don't wait for your doctor to take the initiative; too often this doesn't happen. "Speak up and say: Please, can you write me a referral, I think a skilled evaluation would be helpful," said James Nussbaum, clinical and research director at ProHealth & Fitness in New York City, a therapy provider.
Covid-19 cases plunge 83% among US nursing home staff
Start slow and build steadily. Be realistic about your current abilities. "From my experience, older adults are eager to get out of the house and do what they did a year ago. And guess what? After being inactive for more than a year, they can't," said Dr. John Batsis, associate professor of geriatrics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
"I'm a fan of start low, go slow," Batsis continued. "Be honest with yourself as to what you feel capable of doing and what you are afraid of doing. Identify your limitations. It's probably going to take some time and adjustments along the way."
Nina DePaola, vice president of post-acute services for Northwell Health, the largest health care system in New York, cautioned that getting back in shape may take time. "Pace yourself. Listen to your body. Don't do anything that causes discomfort or pain. Introduce yourself to new environments in a thoughtful and a measured fashion," she said.
Be physically active. Engaging regularly in physical activity of some kind — a walk in the park, chair exercises at home, video fitness programs — is the experts' top recommendation. The Go4Life program, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging, is a valuable resource for those getting started, and you can find videos of some sample exercise routines on YouTube. The YMCA has put exercise classes online, as have many senior centers. For veterans, the VA has Gerofit, a virtual group exercise program that's worth checking out.
Bienvenido Manzano, 70, of Boston, who retired from the Coast Guard after 24 years and has significant lower back pain, attends Gerofit classes three times a week. "This program, it strengthens your muscles and involves every part of your body, and it's a big help," he said.
A year after nursing home visits stopped, residents and families eager for reopening
Have realistic expectations. If you're afraid of getting started, try a bit of activity and see how you feel. Then try a little bit more, and see if that's OK. "This kind of repeated exposure is a good way to deal with residual fear and hesitation," said Rachel Botkin, a physical therapist in Columbus, Ohio.
"Understand that this has been a time of psychological trauma for many people, and it's impacted the way we behave," said Dr. Thomas Cudjoe, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. "We're not going to go back to pre-pandemic activity and engagement like turning on a light switch. We need to respect what people's limits are."
Eat well. Make sure you're eating a well-balanced diet that includes a good amount of protein. Adequate protein consumption is even more important for older adults during times of stress or when they're sedentary and not getting much activity, noted a recent study on healthy aging during Covid-19.
Reestablish routines. "Having a structure to the day that involves social interactions, whether virtual or in person and various activities, including some time outside when the weather is good, is important to older adults," said Dr. Lauren Beth Gerlach, a geriatric psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan.
Routines are especially key for older adults with cognitive impairment, who tend to do best when their days have a dependable structure and they know what to expect, she noted.
End-of-day routines are also useful in addressing sleep problems, which have become more common during the pandemic. According to a University of Michigan poll, administered in January, 19% of adults ages 50 to 80 report sleeping worse than they did before the pandemic.
Some people still need to mask up even if vaccinated. Are you one of them?
Reconnect socially. Mental health problems have also worsened for a segment of older adults, according to the University of Michigan poll: 19% reported experiencing more sadness or depression, while 28% reported being more anxious or worried.
Social isolation and loneliness may be contributing, and it's a good idea to start "shoring up social support" and seeing other people in person if seniors are vaccinated, Gerlach said.
Families have an important role to play in re-engaging loved ones with the world around them, Batsis suggested. "You've had 15 months or so of only a few face-to-face interactions: Make it up now by visiting more often. Make the effort."
Laura Collins, 58, has been spending a lot of time this past month with her mother, Jane Collins, 92, since restrictions on visitation at Jane's nursing home in Black Mountain, North Carolina, eased, and both women were vaccinated. Over the past year, Jane's dementia progressed rapidly and she became depressed, sobbing often to Laura on the phone.
"She loves getting outside and that has been wonderful," Laura said. "Her mood immediately shifts when she gets out of the building: She's just happy, almost childlike, like a kid going out for ice cream. And, in fact, that's what we do — go out for ice cream."

Q: showing that a lie algebra is the direct sum of two ideals. I am trying to do an exercise(2.13) in Wildon and Erdmann's Intro to Lie Algebras and I'm stuck.  The meat of the question is to show that under the following conditions
i. the center, $Z(I)=0$
ii. if $D:I\to I$ is a derivation, then $D= \mathrm{ad}~x$ for some $x\in I$
a lie algebra, $L$ is the direct sum of an ideal $I$ of L and the centraliser $B$ of $I$ in $L$. That is, I'm required to show that $L=I\oplus B$.
With the help of the Jacobi identity, I've been able to show that $B$ is an ideal of $L$. My difficulty is in showing the direct sum. I know I have to show that $B\cap I = \{0\}$ and every element in $L$ can be written as a sum of elements in $B$ and $L$.

A: $Z(I) = \{0\}$ is equivalent to the intersection of the centralizer of $I$ and $I$ being trivial.  So $B \cap I = \{0\}$.  Now let $y \in L$.  By (ii) there exists $x \in I$ such that $\operatorname{ad} y\vert_I = \operatorname{ad} x\vert_I$.  Then $y - x \in B$ since $[y-x, z] = [y,z] - [x,z] = 0$ for all $z \in I$.  Thus $y = x + (y-x)$ with $x \in I$ and $y-x \in B$.

New Zealand finally arrive in Pakistan
Babar Azam and Tom Latham
New Zealand returned to Pakistan on Thursday to play two Tests and three ODIs a year after initially abandoning the tour over a security threat.
The arrival of the Black Caps comes just days after England whitewashed Pakistan at home in a three-match Test series that has seen the hosts' cricket board chief sacked.
New Zealand sparked deep frustration in Pakistan in September last year when they failed to show up at Rawalpindi Stadium and announced they were flying home.
They rescheduled the visit after Australia's successful tour in March, which was followed by two visits by England.
The current 15-man New Zealand squad is led by veteran fast bowler Tim Southee and they will begin the tour with the first Test in Karachi from Monday.
READ: Williamson gives up Black Caps Test captaincy
The second Test is in Multan from 3 January, followed by ODIs on 10, 12 and 14 January in Karachi.
Pakistan announced a 16-man squad for the Test series on Wednesday, with a recall for fast bowler Hasan Ali.
Spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi misses out with a knee injury.
The Test series against New Zealand will provide Pakistan with a chance to improve on their performance after a humiliating defeat at the hands of England.
New Zealand cut short a tour in 2002 when a bomb blast outside their Karachi hotel killed 14 people including French naval staff. They returned in 2003 but avoided the mega port city.
Pakistan then became a no-go destination for international cricket in 2009 when the Sri Lankan team bus was attacked, forcing Pakistan to play home games at neutral venues, mostly in the UAE.
But international cricket has gradually returned since 2015 following major security improvements and this year has been a big home season with visits by Australia, England and New Zealand.
New Zealand squad: Tim Southee (c), Michael Bracewell, Tom Blundell, Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Ajaz Patel, Glenn Phillips, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Neil Wagner, Kane Williamson, Will Young.
