Drink Again | 15/18 | Would you drink it again?
I love the Sugarbowl. Love it. So many great beers. Sometimes I can't remember which ones I've tried. So I decided to try them all. Not all at once but eventually. The easiest way is to start at the top of the list and work my way down! It's a tough job but someone has to do it!
At the top of the beer list is Blanche de Chambly. It is a white beer from Unibroue in Chambly, Quebec. It's nice and light at 5%. Has the banana and spice taste you'd expect from a witbier. I like it and would drink it again. In fact I will soon, I bought a 750ml bottle and will give it a shot!
Weihenstephaner. The worlds oldest brewery. It started as a monastery brewery of the benedictine monks, and thankfully for all of us, it's still brewing today as the Royal Bavarian State Brewery. I'll cut the history lesson short.
If you like weiss bier, or wheat beer, you owe it to yourself to pick some of this up. Their class, not mass approach results in a very refreshing beer. As you might expect, it pours golden and cloudy. What sets it apart from other weiss bier for me is the incredible balance. You can probably smell or taste citrus, banana, cloves, wheat and some yeast. I also pick up a bit of coriander, as you'll tasted in some other notable weiss bier. However, none of the others you'll have tasted will balance it nearly as well as Weihenstephaner.
I will certainly be drinking this again, rather than my typical Hoegaarden.
Thanks for Scott for both the history lesson and the introduction to this great beer!
Given that, what's amazing is that it is almost completely lacking in bitterness. It's smooth, immensely strong, and flavorful. The flavour is unlike any other beer. So hoppy it's … sweet? Almost malty, even.
Or, at least, two more times for the two bottles I've laid down to age until 2013. Whereupon I'll probably write about them, too.
It's summer. It's hot. And so we put away our stouts and whisky cask aged beers, and raise a glass of beer that light will almost certainly pass through.
One of the standout types of summer beer for me has long been wheat beer, which is broken down into weissbier, witbier, and the sour varieties, such as lambic, Berliner Weisse and gose. The basic translation from German or Dutch (still the unrivaled masters of this top-fermented beer) is white beer. You might also have noticed hefeweizen, which is simply an unfiltered white beer which will appear cloudy when poured.
The selection tonight is Rieder Helle Weisse, out of Austria.
It pours nicely with minimal head and decent aroma. It's a bit cloudy, and a brilliant golden wheat colour. The flavour is smooth, with a hint of citrus and banana, and a very clean finish. Not an astounding wheat beer, but certainly a very good one.
I'll be drinking it again!
This is a big, bold IPA with 80 IBUs and 7% alcohol. I will definitely be drinking it again!
Thanks to Brady over at Sherbrooke for the recommendation.
Fremont Brewing's Homefront IPA is a beer for a cause; a charity dedicated to US Military veterans. It's "A full-bodied Northwest IPA brewed with oranges and aged on Louisville Slugger™ Bats". This seems more gimmicky than tasty, but Fremont is a good local brewery, so here we go!
The beer is a delight to the nose, but it definitely does not live up to the initial promise. It's a serviceable IPA, mind you; smooth and easy-drinking. It just falls short of the floral intensity of its aroma.
Would I drink it again? Yes, but Fremont has better beers, so it'll be an occasional thing at best.
Father's day treated me well this year – a shiny bottle of Brugal 1888 Ron Gran Reserva Familiar joined my collection (Dominican rum distiller). It's a blend of rums aged 5 to 14 years. It was given to me courtesy of some random guy at the liquor store. **My mom actually paid for it, but said random rum lover gushed over the Brugal 1888 Reserva, so I went with it.
The Brugal isn't as dark and rich in appearance as say, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, but it's still appealing to the eye. It has plenty of legs that reveal a light bodied rum – when swirled in your glass, it settles down the sides quickly and in thin lines. So, how does it taste? The Brugal Reserva offering is subtle to start, but comes on strong with cinnamon and caramel. Harshness follows with hints of vanilla. I kept waiting for the finish to……well…..finish. But the bite lingered and fluctuated between smokiness and spices, and left me wanting a smooth run for my next sip that didn't come. You could even call it an imposter – a rum that poses as a scotch (**for the record, I love scotch). At $62+ for a bottle, I can think of a number of cheaper offerings I prefer. I'm not saying this is poor quality rum – far from it. It's just that I wouldn't drink this again if I'm buying. No offense mom and random liquor store guy.
Delerium Nocturnum is an 8.5% Belgian Strong Ale from the Huyghe Brewery in Belgium. It pours out a beautiful rich brown head with a nice head. It was rich enough to stand up to and even pair nicely with a Cohiba. While it is a very tasty beer, I found I liked its sister, Delerium Tremens even better. I thought Tremens was richer, sweeter, and more complex, more of what I expect in a Belgian ale. I would definitely drink it again but would take Tremens every time if given the choice!
On another note, I really need to get the proper glassware for a Belgian ale. I don't think I have the palate to detect the difference made by glassware, it's more for the experience. But then again, who knows…..

Le palais Sina était un palais de Vienne, dans l'arrondissement d'Innere Stadt, au  8.

Histoire
Le palais est construit en 1859 à la place du Palais Fellner. Il est conçu par l'architecte Theophil Hansen pour Georg Simon von Sina. Il le dessine dans un style néo-Renaissance, ce qui est une première à Vienne. Le hall d'entrée et plusieurs chambres dans les étages sont décorés de fresques de Carl Rahl et .

Le palais est démoli lors des bombardements de 1945. La ruine sert de décor au film Le Troisième Homme. Elle est rasée pour un immeuble résidentiel simple avec des commerces.

Lynxes
A lynx is any of several medium-sized wild cats. Most are members of the genus lynx, but there is considerable confusion about the best way to classify felids at present, and some authorities classify all lynxes as part of the genus Felis. Lynxes have short tails, and usually a tuft of hair on the tip of the ears. They have large paws padded for walking on snow, and long whiskers on the face. The color of the body varies from light brown to gray and is occasionally marked with dark brown spots, especially on the limbs. They range about 5 kg or about 11 pounds (roughly the size of a large Domestic cat) up to about 30 kg (66 pounds). The Eurasian lynx is significantly larger than the other species. Habitat: The lynx inhabits the high altitude forests with dense cover of shrubs, reeds and grass. Though the cat hunts only on the ground, it can climb trees and swim. Though it can be found in the northern regions of Scandinavia, it is primarily found in North America and also in pockets in the Himalayas. Since the 1990s there have been numerous efforts to resettle the Eurasian lynx in Germany. It can also be found in Białowieża Forest (northeastern Poland). The critically endangered Iberian lynx lives in southern Spain and (possibly) eastern Portugal. Diet: The snowshoe hare is by far the most important prey item for the Canadian lynx. The availability of hares largely controls lynx abundance across most of their range. Other prey species important to lynx are red squirrels, mice, other rodents, and birds. Come back!: Starting in 1999, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has begun a program reintroducing a wild lynx population back to the United States. The animals were trapped in Canada before being brought to the Colorado Rockies, where after being tagged with radio collars frequently migrated throughout the western United States. While showing early signs of promise, biologists say it will take more than a decade to determine whether the program is a success. Loner: The lynx is usually solitary, although a group of cats can travel and hunt together. Mating takes place in the late winter. Its desired resting place is in crevices or under ledges, and it gives birth to 2 to 4 kittens at a time. It feeds on birds and mammals and often on sheep and goats. lynx (spotted) have been observed (2006) in the Wet Mountains of Colorado.

OKLAHOMA CITY – A few weeks ago, Fleetwood Mac rolled into town and gave the Oklahoma City audience just about every single Mac hit imaginable. And while there were a few that were overlooked, like "Sara," most folks went home feeling pretty content.
In my review, posted the following day, I made a reference to some Fleetwood Mac songs that I would have loved hearing, even though they were from the pre-Lindsey Buckingham guitar days.
I was reminded of my "Albatross" reference when I learned something extraordinary today: Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis is releasing a film in October 2015 – this fall – titled The Walk, a film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as French wire walker Phillipe Petit and based on the remarkable 2008 documentary Man on Wire. Petit successfully walked - covertly - on a wire connecting the north and south towers of the World Trade Center.
It was in Man on Wire that Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" was featured. (And recall that Lindsey Buckingham's "Time Bomb Town" was a signature song in the original Back to the Future). Of course it was in October 2015 where Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) finds himself in the future, therefore, further syncing Back to the Future and 9/11 with Robert Zemeckis and his forthcoming Twin Towers high-wire film The Walk).
The news about this film, The Walk, has apparently been out for over a year and it had eluded me somehow. The director of Back to the Future, who seems to allude to the future attacks of September 11, 2001 in his trilogy, has taken on the role of symbolically resurrecting the Twin Towers by showing them in all their glory back in 1974, a year or so after they were completed?
"Sun King" is the second one in the Abbey Road medley. But it recently showed up reversed as "Gnik Nus."
And the point of "origin" for Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, who wrote "Albatross"? Santo & Johnny's 1959 steel-guitar based instrumental "Sleep Walk." A song that was featured to great effect in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys, when advertisements for traveling to the Florida Keys played on the TV in the mental institution. Santo & Johnny recorded "Sleep Walk" at Trinity Music recording studio in Manhattan, not far from where the future Twin Towers would be built.
As for the inspiration for "Sleep Walk," it was recognized as a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, who died in a plane crash earlier in the year near Clear Lake, Iowa. Twelve years later, folk musician Don McLean would score a major hit with "American Pie," which talks about "the day the music died," the day those three early rock musicians died in that plane crash in snow-covered field. Perhaps Buddy Holly's ghost is trying to remind us of something.
That event hung heavy over America. Just as rock was really taking off, it suddenly dropped off, and the pop crooners of 1960-63 really took hold – until The Beatles and the British Invasion took over.
Think of the albatross metaphor. The symbolism. Of course, we go back to the 18th century and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner who uses the bird as a symbol for someone who has a burden. Sailors thought it was good luck to be followed by an albatross and bad luck to kill one, so when one did, it was to say one had an "albatross around one's neck." Some might say the events of 9/11 are an albatross around the neck of America and the world, trapping us in a karmic time loop of hopelessness.
In the 1952 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Water, Water Every Hare," (a reference to a line in the aforementioned Coleridge poem) which I examined here, Bugs is dreaming. Or is he? He was definitely "sleepwalking," if that is what we can call it. Perhaps we have been collectively "sleepwalking" for nearly 14 years, since 9/11. Everything has taken a dreamlike quality.
Anyway, watching the trailer of The Walk was quite … eerie. The shot of the trident-shaped steel racing up the side of the tower, all the way to the top where we find Gordon-Levitt's character preparing for his August 1974 wire walk is breathtaking. Psychologically, I can imagine, seeing the towers in their infancy will likely have an impact.
As I noted earlier, Santo & Johnny's "Sleep Walk" (along with Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill") really strike a chord (pun intended) in 12 Monkeys, a film based on Chris Marker's 1962 film La Jetee, released in the time period between Buddy Holly's death and the arrival of The Beatles, stateside, in 1964.
This powerful time-travel film features some very deep themes. And regarding that, I was quite interested in the research of Egyptologist Lynn Gibson, who is intemately familiar with ancient Egyptian religion and its esoteric meanings. She, along with Vedic expert Sunthar Visulvalingam, write how the ancient mysteries of Egypt are alluded to throughout Gilliam's brilliant 1995 sci-fi film (recently relaunched as a SyFy TV series).
They write that adventurer Giovanni Belzoni (noted in a recent Twilight Language post "Philae name game: Isis and obelisks") , who fled his native Italy after Napoleon invaded it in 1798, and that Gilliam's choice of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the setting of 12 Monkeys was deliberate, noting, "Philadelphia is today's equivalent of the sacred temple island of Philae in the upper Nile, the last bastion of Egyptian religion that was patronized by the Roman emperors before the ancient worship, including the writing of hieroglyphs, were forbidden. Famous for its temple to Isis, the goddess of rebirth, island itself amounted to a primordial mound within the womb of the Nile. The temple contained a birth-house (mamissi) for Horus where his birthday was annually celebrated. Here the king re-enacted the mysteries of death and rebirth before his people, the temple-body of Isis being assimilated to the tomb. Since it was there that the (Egyptian) world ended, it's only fitting that the suppressed animal-gods be released again in Philadelphia."
It is also interesting that a European Space Agency probe, Philae, successfully landed on a comet late last year. It was part of the Rosetta spacecraft. The lander, now on the Churyumov–Gerasimenko comet, is in "safe mode" right now, until solar power is expected to reboot it sometime this summer. We shall see if that happens.
As noted at TourEgypt.net: "Belzoni did make some discoveries while in the Valley of the Kings, though in many instances, because hieroglyphs had not yet been deciphered, he had no idea who or what he had found. He almost literally stumbled into the tomb belonging to King Ay, but only noted a wall painting of 12 baboons, leading him to christen the chamber "tomb of the 12 monkeys." Or is that "moonkey"?
The year 1968 has been coming up a lot lately. August 1968 was when construction of the WTC's North Tower began. It was the year Back to the Future's Marty McFly was born. It was a time of strife and change in America and around the world. The most recent TIME magazine (always prescient, along with Newsweek) featured a cover of baton-wielding police chasing an African-American man down the street with the cover reading "America, 1968, with 1968 crossed out and 2015 added. "Hello 2015!"
In late 2013, here at Dust Devil Dreams, I wrote a piece called "Existentialist elements in 'Jacob's Ladder' and '12 Monkeys' sync/link both." I felt that Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) in Jacob's Ladder and James Cole (Bruce Willis) in12 Monkeys play very existential roles in their respective films. In my sync piece I ask, "Is there something to do with the karmic wheel?" This, because Jacob's Ladder was written by Bruce Joel Rubin, who considered the story a modern interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, while it would seem that 12 Monkeys is a modern interpretation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, something I hadn't clued into in that earlier post.
Back to Man on Wire and the upcoming Zemeckis film The Walk.
I was thinking of the word "wire" much of last week, due to the riots in Baltimore and its connection to the HBO series The Wire, which I noted here.
And with that, I was thinking of the 1973, dystopian sci-fi film World on a Wire (Welt am Draht), directed by the late West German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a film considered "ahead of its time" by critics and dealing with a Matrix-like computer simulated world where it is not entirely clear if the human-like "identity units" are really human or if all of us here in "reality" are actually "identity units" believing we are human but actually controlled by outside forces. It raised - and continues to raise - a lot of questions, particularly as we examine popular culture from a synchromystic perspective, particularly as virtual reality gains interest and we are all more "wired," as it were.
It was also in 1973 when Marty's father George is killed, according to Back to the Future Pt. II, when Marty arrives in an alternate "1985." Perhaps we are in alternate 2015 and the universe is a hologram?
Back in 1981, when Steven Spielberg was filming E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, it was his friend Robert Zemeckis who suggested that the friendly alien hide in Gertrude's closet amidst stuffed animals. That film, of course, starred Henry Thomas as the boy Elliott. It was Thomas who appeared as one of the logging workers who encountered a UFO in the 1993 film Fire in the Sky. Questions are raised, in respect to Travis Walton's alleged alien abduction, if it really happened. Walton and the other loggers are repeatedly questioned and the truth is never entirely clear. In the film, Thomas's character Greg, wears a Fleetwood Mac T-shirt.
Somehow, it all comes back to Fleetwood Mac. That Stevie Nicks knows something.

Protests at the Michigan capitol against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order have all but wrapped for the day, with no arrests or citations made, according to Michigan State Police.

Photo gallery: Protestors gather for 'Judgment Day' rally against stay-home order
At one point, several hundred protesters marched in the rain holding signs, some holding guns and some wearing masks.
Although no arrests were made, an ax was confiscated from a man and a scuffle between two demonstrators broke out.
MSP said there were no injuries during the fight. Officers interviewed the parties involved. The victim was identified as a 60-year-old man, police said.
Troopers have responded to a fight between two people. No injuries; scene secure. Involved parties being interviewed by officers.
The protest comes two weeks after Michigan made national headlines, when armed protesters gathered inside the state capitol.
Unlike two weeks ago, the legislature is not in session, so protestors – armed or not – didn't have access to inside the capitol.
"I don't want to see people congregate, period," said the governor. "We know that contributes the spread. But, if people are going to come down and congregate, do it in a responsible way."
Michigan State Police are reminding protesters that while Michigan is an open carry state those seen brandishing a gun, will face consequences.

_Capybara the way you like it... skinned, butchered, and cooked to perfection._

## What is Capybarbecue?

*Capybarbecue* makes adds reliability and flexibility to your Capybara test suite by silently changing the way
Capybara works. It gives you a shared database connection and allows you to safely write tests that make use of it
while eliminating race conditions.

For example, the following Capybara test only works with a shared database connection and without *Capybarbecue* it
will randomly fail every now and then due to the race condition that your typical shared database connection
introduces:

```ruby
user = User.first
visit edit_user_path(user)
fill_in 'first_name', with: 'Andrew'           # Edit the user's name
click_on 'Submit'                              # Triggers POST request
expect(user.reload.first_name).to eq 'Andrew'  # This line will cause you some headaches
```

Now in principle, this isn't the "right" way to perform automated acceptance testing since you would only simulate
actual user behavior which can only occur through a browser, but let's face it: this paradigm doesn't work for all
testing use cases and writing tests like the one above is sometimes just too damn convenient.

## Setup

This is so easy... you're gonna love it.

To install *Capybarbecue*, add this line to your `Gemfile` and then `bundle install`

```ruby
gem 'capybarbecue'
```

Then at the bottom of your test set up file (e.g. RSpec's `spec_helper.rb` or Cucumber's `env.rb`) after you've done
your Capybara setup, add this line:

```ruby
Capybarbecue.activate!
```

That's it. Just continue to write your Capybara tests as you normally would. Welcome to the BBQ!

## Beware Javascript

AJAX and other javascript interactions may cause you problems since Capybara has no way to know when your javascript has
finished executing. To prevent issues with this, make sure you check the state of the page to ensure that your
javascript has finished running.

For example, let's say we have a button with an `onclick` handler that simply visits a new page. Here's the
_wrong_ way to test:

```ruby
visit '/page/1'
click_on 'Go to /page/2'  # Triggers an `onclick` handler
click_on 'Go to /page/3'  # OOPS! No guarantee that /page/2 has been loaded yet!
```

Here's the _right_ way:

```ruby
visit '/page/1'
click_on 'Go to /page/2'           # Triggers an `onclick` handler
page.should have_content 'Page 2'  # GREAT! Capybara will actually wait until this is true (or fail after some timeout)
click_on 'Go to /page/3'           # We know we're on the right page and that this button exists!
```

Note that this only works with Capybara matchers. For example, the following will _not_ work:

```ruby
visit '/page/1'
click_on 'Go to /page/2'                  # Triggers an `onclick` handler
current_path.should start_with '/page/2'  # OOPS! The new page may not have loaded yet!
click_on 'Go to /page/3'                  # We may not even get here
```

## How it works

*Capybarbecue* works by running your tests and handling Rack requests in the same thread. When you make a call to the
Capybara API, your call is delegated to another thread while the main thread is used to handle web requests, which are
themselves queued by third thread which acts as the web server. Once the Capybara matcher returns, control is returned
to your test.
