UAAP - FOOTBALL
UAAP Season 80 Men's Football: FEU tries for back-to-back wins
Santino Honasan on Mar 14, 2018 06:35 PM
Rico Andes and the FEU Tamaraws look to score back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
MATCHES on THURSDAY, MARCH 15 (Rizal Memorial Stadium)
8:00 AM - Ateneo vs. Adamson (Men's)
2:00 PM - UE vs. UP (Men's)
4:00 PM - FEU vs. UST (Men's)
Far Eastern University will try to get their first win streak of the year when they take on University of Santo Tomas in the second round of UAAP Season 80 men's football action, Thursday at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.
Following a dismal first round that saw them pick up only five points in seven matches, the Season 79 runners-up began the second round on a high note with a comeback win over University of the East, led by two goals from super-sub Resty Monterona and the return of veteran midfielder Arnel Amita.
UST on the other hand, find themselves trying to bounce back from their worst loss of the season, a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of league-leaders University of the Philippines last Sunday. The Growling Tigers spent most of the first round at the upper half of the Final Four race, but now find themselves sitting at third place after losing twice in their last two matches.
The Tams will also try to gain a measure of revenge, as they fell to UST, 4-0 to open the first round of action.
FEU and UST kick off at 4:00 PM.
In the earlier game of the afternoon, league-leading UP will try to extend their unbeaten streak to eight matches when they take on UE.
With six wins and two draws under their belt so far this season, the Fighting Maroons remain the lone team yet to taste defeat in Season 80, and they look to keep it that way against a vastly improved UE squad.
After ending the first round strong, the Red Warriors found themselves on the opposite end of an FEU comeback and now hope to bounce back with an upset of the league-leaders.
In their first round encounter, UP blasted UE, 3-0.
UE and UP kick off at 2:00 PM.
In the first match of the day, defending champions Ateneo de Manila target their seventh win of the season when they face the still-winless Adamson University.
Coming off a scoreless draw against collegiate rivals De La Salle University last Sunday, the Blue Eagles try to get their groove back and keep themselves in play for the top seed in the final four.
Adamson on the other hand, try to finally break a season-long slum that has seen them drop all of their matches so far.
In their first round meeting, Ateneo survived a spirited attack from Adamson to win, 2-0.
Ateneo and Adamson kick off at 8:00 AM.
Catch the exciting UAAP men's football action LIVE starting at 2:00 PM on ABS-CBN S+A channel 23, ABS-CBN S+A HD channel 166, Liga channel 83, Liga HD channel 186, and livestreaming on sports.abs-cbn.com/livestream/uaap

Big Tech Politics
Gosar Calls for Department of Justice Investigation Into Robinhood and Citadel Hedge Fund
By Jack Hadfield January 28, 2021 at 6:53pm
Representative Paul Gosar has called the Department of Justice to investigate Robinhood and their relationship with the hedge fund Citadel.
Robinhood, one of the most popular free trading apps in America, stopped ordinary investors from being able to buy shares in GameStop, after users from the subreddit r/WallStreetBets and others engaged in a short squeeze of the stocks, costing hedgefunds billions of dollars as a result. Many other trading apps and exchanges also stopped the buying of the "memestock" shares, and delisted them from their platforms.
In a statement, Robinhood claimed that they had to shut down the buy orders on GameStop and other "meme stocks" because of the "the recent volatility" in the market. "We're committed to helping our customers navigate this uncertainty," the firm said.
However, accusations began flying that Robinhood was not doing this for the good of their customers, but for the good of Wall Street, with some highlighting that Robinhood's "primary revenue stream" last year was from selling orders to hedgefunds like Citadel Securities. Citadel bailed out Melvin Capital, the hedgefund that took the biggest hit from their attempt to short GameStop.
https://twitter.com/tyler/status/1354809759497478153
In a letter to the Department of Justice, Representative Paul Gosar said that he was "greatly troubled with the events that have unfolded on Wall Street," and is demanding action from them. Robinhood's "unilateral move" to stop the buying of GameStop shares "was done so in a concerted effort to de-platform and silence individual investors," he argued.
Gosar also drew the link between Melvin Capital, Citadel, and Robinhood, highlighting an article from Bloomberg that noted roughly 40% of Robinhood's revenue was down to Citadel and other big Wall Street hedgefunds.
"Knowing the involvement Citadel has with Robinhood, it is clear that the actions taken today were motivated by anti-competitive reasons not for concerns of volatility claimed by Robinhood," Gosar argued. "Because of this blatant conflict of interest and obvious monopolistic activity, I am calling on an immediate investigation by the US Department of Justice into Robinhood and the hedge fund of Citadel LLC."
My letter to DOJ to open an investigation regarding #GameStop #RobinhoodApp and anti competitive actions between Big Tech and Wallstreet. #wallstreetbets https://t.co/5B9eTcLLSq pic.twitter.com/SO79vyZYCp
— Paul Gosar (@DrPaulGosar) January 28, 2021
The arguments in Gosar's statement mirror that of a class action lawsuit that was filed against Robinhood in the Southern District of New York, claiming that they stopped the buying of shares in it and other memestocks "in order to slow the growth of GME… [and was] done purposefully and knowingly to manipulate the market for the benefit of people and financial institutions who were not [their] customers."
Gosar is not the only member of Congress to attack Robinhood, Citadel, and Wall Street. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, of the Democrat "Squad," and Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Pat Toomey had also joined in, with Toomey, tipped to be the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, describing the situation as "disturbing."
National File reported that incoming Senate Banking Chairman, Sherrod Brown, will be holding a hearing on "the current state of the stock market," but has not released a date as to when this would be. "People on Wall Street only care about the rules when they're the ones getting hurt. American workers have known for years the Wall Street system is broken – they've been paying the price," Brown said in a statment.

Q: jQuery Table Sorting by Attr e.g. Title Does anyone know of a jQuery plugin that allows table sorting when clicking on the header, but checks say the title of a cell and sorts by that before looking at the contents of the cell?
I have some data in my cells such as 3h 5m and 5m, most sorting plugins get these in the wrong order as it sorts it alphanumerically because it doesn't understand the value.
I am sure somewhere I have seem a plugin where you put the raw data in the title, and the plugin actually sorted based on that data rather than the info in the cell.
Many thanks for your time,

A: Using jQuery dataTables and the following custom sorting function (you may have to expand it if your "last seen" has more than just days/hours/minutes):
jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort['mytime-asc']  = function(a,b) {
    var regex = /\s*(?:(\d+)d)?\s*(?:(\d+)h)?\s*(?:(\d+)m)?\s*/;
    var m;

    m = a.match(regex);
    var x = (m[1] ? parseInt(m[1]) : 0) * 1440 + (m[2] ? parseInt(m[2]) : 0) * 60 + (m[3] ? parseInt(m[3]) : 0);

    m = b.match(regex);
    var y = (m[1] ? parseInt(m[1]) : 0) * 1440 + (m[2] ? parseInt(m[2]) : 0) * 60 + (m[3] ? parseInt(m[3]) : 0);

    return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0));
};

jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort['mytime-desc']  = function(a,b) {
    // Same function as above, except for the return value:
    return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? -1 : 0));
}

And the associated jQuery dataTable call would look something like:
$('#example').dataTable( {
    "aoColumns": [
        null,
        null,
        null,
        { "sType": "mytime" },
        null
    ]
});

Slain Jacksonville woman's love of life remembered
Family and friends mourn death of 19-year-old Kalil McCoy.
Jim Schoettler
Kalil McCoy had just graduated from Andrew Jackson High School, was about to start a new job and couldn't wait for college.
McCoy, 19, also had a love for music and dance that made her a star in the school band. And she could flash a smile that friends said would brighten the gloomiest of moods.
But family and friends said a killer wiped all that away, ending their frantic search Tuesday, leaving them to wonder who and why.
McCoy's grandfather, Patrick Israel, and her uncle, Mikhail Muhammad, identified McCoy as the woman whose body was found about 6 p.m. in a wooded area on Jacksonville's Eastside, but police have yet to confirm the identity of the victim found off East 31st and Haines streets.
See more photos from the vigil for Kalil McCoy
Family and friends said she had been beaten to death, but police did not reveal such details. Several people said McCoy was last seen getting into a car from an outing in an Eastside park late Saturday. She was also reported seen at an Arlington nightclub Sunday.
Family members printed and posted fliers after McCoy went missing. The discovery, made by people searching for scrap metal, stunned those who knew the young woman.
"It wasn't her time," said Rufus Fields, 20, who graduated from the same high school a year ahead of McCoy.
'A sweet angel'
De'Net Adams, who identified herself as McCoy's best friend, said they graduated together and talked with excitement about the future. Adams said McCoy had no enemies.
"She's the definition of a sweet angel," said Adams, 18. "Who would do something like this? Who would hurt her?"
Muhammad, McCoy's uncle, is head of the local chapter of the New Black Panther Party, a group of community activists who preach nonviolence. Muhammad said losing McCoy was especially hard for him.
"We're out there fighting to end violence and teach black youth how to love and practice conflict resolution and this happens," Muhammad said. "You never expect it to happen to your own family."
Plans for her future
McCoy enjoyed dancing as captain of the Tiger Sensations troupe in her high school band. She also loved watching sports and listening to various kinds of music, including rhythm and blues.
She was to begin working at a Walgreens this week. She was also planning to attend Florida State College at Jacksonville before moving on to a four-year school, where she hoped to continue dancing in her college band.
McCoy's grandfather fondly recalled taking her to and from dance practice at high school and spending time talking with her at his home. He said news of her slaying left him heartbroken.
"They don't have any feeling or care for life," said Israel, 66. "She had a bright future."

Address: 802 S. Clay St.
"Shirley Mae, guess what? It's Linda's birthday!" Dee, our server and Shirley Mae's amiable daughter, bellowed across the restaurant's long and narrow dining room to the kitchen where her mother, the one-and-only Shirley Mae, tended to various pots, pans and cast iron skillets filled with Southern soul food classics.
Myself and the other diners occupying the mismatch of booths, tables and chairs at Shirley Mae's Cafe were laughing as Dee cranked up the speakers, which were tuned to a variation of the birthday song, and proceeded to sing to Linda, just as one might if celebrating their birthday at home with family.
It is an experience befitting of Shirley Mae's Cafe, a nearly 30-year-old institution located in Louisville's Smoketown neighborhood. You may as well be in Shirley Mae's family home. Personal touches add warmth to the relatively dark space, pictures of various family members decorating the bar area and spilling over into the open kitchen. Signed photos of an array of celebrities, such as Whoopi Goldberg and Morgan Freeman, form a collage adjacent to shelves stuffed with cookbooks and there are nods to University of Louisville basketball and football tucked in nooks and crannies.
The more you look around, the more you see an eclectic homey feast for the eyes while you await your feast for the soul, prepared from scratch daily by Shirley Mae herself.
All of the Southern and soul food staples are on offer. The fried chicken ($5 a la carte/$11 with two sides) is a signature dish that has garnered Shirley Mae much attention over the years. There is an assortment of other menu items worthy of your attention, however, the smothered pork chop ($5 a la carte/$11 with two sides) is at the top of my personal list. Drenched in a thick gravy dotted with tomatoes, the pork chop collapsed with the slightest pressure from the fork, as tender and as juicy as I have ever encountered.
Highly seasoned, the only side dish befitting of this meal were Shirley Mae's "real" mashed potatoes ($2), which instantly reminded me of my Eastern Kentucky grandmother's recipe — all salt and butter with a touch of potato. I also enjoyed an order of the fresh turnip greens with my dinner ($3), which were cooked down to a silky texture (and say yes when they ask if you'd like tomatoes and onion on top).
The meatloaf was another tempting menu item ($4 a la carte/$10 with two sides); however, while the serving portion could feed a small family, I found the flavor to be one note and couldn't detect any evidence of vegetables in the ground beef blend.
You may find it difficult not to order the ribs ($6 a la carte/$12 with two sides), as you can often smell them smoking on the grill adjacent to the entrance. The smoke came through nicely in the meat that just about fell off the bone and was bathed in a slightly spicy, slightly sweet tomato-based sauce.
My husband quickly claimed the fried tilapia for his lunch during a recent visit ($5 a la carte/$11 with two sides) and was very satisfied with his fried-to-order filet, coated with just enough cornmeal crust to add crunch to the edges while still allowing the flavor of the fish to shine through. His side of "real" cole slaw ($2) was far too heavy on the mayo for my taste and the macaroni and cheese ($3) was creamy and rich, but of the standard variety.
The only menu item perhaps more renowned than Shirley Mae's fried chicken is her hot water cornbread ($1 for two pieces), a staple with any dinner order. These fried spheres of cornmeal mixed with hot water couldn't be simpler or more addictive in both flavor and texture.
Six homemade desserts are on hand, ranging in price from $3 for banana pudding to $7 for the jam cake, which is densely packed with bits of nuts and fruits and comes to the table sitting in a pool of sugary sweet caramel glaze.
The interior of Shirley Mae's may be well worn and the tables, chairs and booths could stand a bit of repair. But I wouldn't want Shirley Mae's to be shiny and new. The timeless, hospitable atmosphere of this restaurant comes naturally and is as genuine and authentic in essence as the food coming out of Shirley Mae's kitchen — food that has been crafted with plenty of love and a lot of soul.

Massive Fuel Spill in Siberia Blamed on Melting Permafrost – or Climate Change
A massive fuel spill in Siberia prompted Russia to declare a state of emergency in the region as the mining company involved said the catastrophe may have been caused by climate change.
Scientists have warned for years that thawing of once permanently frozen ground covering more than half of Russia is threatening the stability of buildings and pipelines. Greenpeace said last week's accident was the largest ever in the Arctic region, and likened it to the Exxon Valdez spill off Alaska in 1989.
The cause of the spill, in which 20,000 tons of diesel leaked from a reservoir owned by MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC, hasn't been determined but the company has suggested it could be the result of damage from melting permafrost. The rate of warming in the Arctic is twice as fast as the rest of the world.
"The cause is yet to be determined and is likely a combination of both climate change and infrastructure-related factors," said Dmitry Streletskiy, a professor at George Washington University.
The fuel spill in Norilsk is polluting land and rivers that drain into a lake linked to the Kara Sea. The lake that links to the Kara Sea has already been affected, Kommersant newspaper reported, citing a spokesman at the Federal Agency for Fishing.

"Tiger King" star Carole Baskin has been making headlines since the documentary premiered on Netflix back in March but that doesn't mean she approves of everyone's impersonation of her.
Baskin revealed she really doesn't like "Saturday Night Live" star Chloe Fineman's portrayal of her.
"I could just slap that woman! [Laughs]," Baskin admitted on The Pet Show podcast with Dennis Quaid and Jimmy Jellinek from AudioUp.
CAROLE BASKIN IS 'READY TO ASSIST' IN RELOCATING JOE EXOTIC'S ANIMALS AFTER GAINING CONTROL OF HIS FORMER ZOO
"This whole, 'My kitty, meow, meow, kitty, meow, and then she would just say these really weird words all in a row. That all became popular, I guess, in popular culture and people wanted me to talk like that on the Cameos. And I'm like, 'I have no idea how to talk like that. That is not how I speak,'" she said.
Baskin also relayed a message to another "SNL" star, Kate McKinnon, who is going to play the big cat lover in an upcoming scripted TV series.
"[Kate] has not reached out to me and I really hope that she does before she gets too far down the line with it," Baskin said. "I'd love to know what her take is on it and what she's thinking to do and see if there was any way we could advise her."

"We reached out to her through the media — because I don't have any way of contacting Kate McKinnon — but we had posted publicly that we really hope that her or anybody that does any kind of follow-up programming doesn't end up doing what Cardi B did and hiring people that are exploiting and abusing cats. It's like the worst thing you can do is abuse cats to show other people that you shouldn't abuse cats," she continued.
The zoo owner disliked how the rapper featured exotic animals in her "WAP" music video even though they were superimposed.
CARDI B, MEGAN THEE STALLION'S 'WAP' VIDEO CRITICIZED BY 'TIGER KING' STAR CAROLE BASKIN
Baskin shared that she is concerned the music video glamorizes big cat ownership for the rich and could inspire impressionable fans to dabble in the exotic pet market, which doesn't always have a happy ending from what she's seen in her line of work.
Some big cats end up dying in custody or being given away to sanctuaries or breeding mills, Baskin explained in a statement provided to Fox News.
Carole Baskin, founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue.
"No matter how you cut it, it's always abusive to the cat and dangerous to the public," she wrote.
"That being said, you have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen to get that image and that doesn't happen in the wild," Baskin shared. "It can't happen in sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it). That tells me they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, probably even one of the ones shown in 'Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness,' who makes a living from beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green screen in a studio. That's never good for the cat."
Currently, there is no evidence of animal abuse related to the music video. Nor is there notable conservation advocacy for the snakes used in the video.

Jeanine Mason headlines the new series, as Liz Ortecho, a "biomedical researcher" who has to return to her hometown after her project loses its funding. Once she is back in Roswell, she reconnects with her high school crush Max Evans, played by Nathan Parsons, who is, on the surface a policeman, but who is also, secretly an extraterrestrial with amazing powers. Liz has her own secrets, however– her parents are undocumented immigrants. While the US government cracks down on illegal terrestrial aliens, the series will parallel that to Max and his fellow ETs struggle to remain in hiding as a very different wing of the government threatens to expose them… and possibly worse.
'Roswell, New Mexico' debuts on Tuesday, January 15 at 9pm EST.

Check out this silent film at Red River Theatres on July 10 and hear live music from Jeff Rapsis, too
Home » Articles » Check out this silent film at Red River Theatres on July 10 and hear live music from Jeff Rapsis, too
By tgoodwin - Jul 7, 2015 | 0 comments
Silent film composer Jeff Rapsis plays music that isn't silent.
Heat up Bastille Day this year with the fires of revolution. Orphans of the Storm (1921), a sweeping silent film drama set during the uproar of the French Revolution, will be shown with live music on Friday, July 10 at 7 p.m. at Red River Theatres, 11 S. Main St.
Orphans of the Storm, set in 1780s France, follows the story of two sisters, one blind, who seek to cure her vision by risking a trip from their country village to Paris. There, they are soon separated as anarchy erupts, the aristocracy is toppled, and the city is engulfed by the unpredictable chaos of revolution. Will fate reunite the two sisters before the guillotine separates them forever?
The film, part of Red River's silent film series, is being shown in part to mark Bastille Day (July 14), a holiday in France known as La Fête Nationale that celebrates the storming of the notorious Bastille prison in Paris in 1789 as a symbol of the French Revolution.
The screening of Orphans of the Storm will be accompanied by an improvised score created live by N.H. silent film composer Jeff Rapsis. Rapsis achieves a traditional "movie score" sound for silent film screenings by using a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra. Admission is $10 per person.
Other dates and titles in the Red River silent film series include: Sept. 11, 7 p.m.: The Cameraman (1928) starring Buster Keaton; and Oct. 30, 7 p.m.: The Lodger (1927).
For more info, call 224-4600 or visit redrivertheatres.org. For more information about the music, visit jeffrapsis.com.

Smart Storage and SMS Data Products are teaming up to offer a CD archiving system for E-mail records that complies with federal regulations. Smart Storage is currently building software to work with SMS' @CD-Rkive storage solution, which uses Smart Storage and Sony hardware. The combined solution will be designed specifically to store electronic files on CD-R, per a 1997 court order mandating the archival of federal records in their original form including E-mail.
The system creates "an electronic equivalent to existing paper document flow," allowing users to "simply categorize and forward mail for archiving to the @CD-Rkive system," according to Smart Storage president Gary Brach. "The system incorporates the high-capacity, low-cost benefits of CD-R jukeboxes, providing records managers with a structured storage solution for categorizing and archiving E-mail."
SMS VP Joe Grajewski believes that records managers will now have a system "that works the way they do, allowing them to be fully compliant with E-mail archiving requirements without breaking the bank."
SMS' @CD-Rkive will be available in Q3 '98 for the Windows NT platform; pricing will begin at under $5,000.

Browns DE Myles Garrett Issues Warning to Texans Quarterback
Heavy Sports
Heavy on Browns
By J.R. De Groote
Updated Dec 2, 2022 at 2:01pm
Getty Images Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns.
Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen has pleaded for Myles Garrett to "be nice to him," but the Cleveland Browns star has no intentions of holding back against his former teammate.
Allen is drawing his first start of the season for the Texans and will have to be aware of Garrett — who has 10 sacks this season — flying off the edge.
"I'll lay him down a little gentler than others," Garrett said when asked about Allen's comments, "but he's going in the graveyard too."
Garrett is referring to his QB graveyard he puts up at Halloween that features just about every quarterback he's been able to sack in his career. While he has some history with Allen from their time at Texas A&M together, it sounds like he's eager to add him to the list.
Jokes aside, it's clear that Allen has a huge amount of admiration for Garrett and how his game has grown at the NFL level.
"He's only gotten better since then," Allen said. "The edge rushers are obviously really good. They've got a lot of stars over there. They've got a lot of good players. I think they pose a good challenge for us like last week. We're going to work through it, get a plan together and get ready for them."
Allen has played sparingly in his career with the Panthers, Commanders and Texans, notching 4,533 yards, 25 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
Garrett Battling Through Shoulder Injury
Garrett will not be 100% entering the matchup with the Texans, battling through a shoulder injury that had him in excruciating pain against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. At one point, he slammed his helmet on the turf along the sideline as he pushed through the injury.
"It hurt really bad," Garrett said in his postgame press conference. "I almost thought I broke something initially, but just in my head there is no tomorrow. I can't be focused on 'I'll get better tomorrow or let's focus on the next game.' There's just the next play, and that's all that's in my mind. I have to continue playing regardless of how much pain I was feeling pain — pain I am feeling. There's only one opportunity for greatness. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. I just wanted it really bad. I wanted it bad for us."
Garrett will get a tough test against Texans veteran tackle Laremy Tunsil, who has been one of the best tackles in the league. He's graded out at 82.3 on Pro Football Focus, with an elite pass-blocking grade of 90.8.
David Njoku Ruled Out Against Texans
The Browns will be without one key weapon on the offensive side of the ball in tight end David Njoku. He was the hero against the Bucs with a one-handed snag to force overtime but he was unable to practice this week and has been ruled out.
The injury is unrelated to the high ankle sprain that sidelined him earlier this season, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.
"It's a different injury so we are just going to work through it and be smart," Stefanski said.
In nine games Njoku has notched 41 catches on 52 targets for 464 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Home WHISKY & WHISKEY Scotch Whisky Balvenie, a crafty bunch
Balvenie, a crafty bunch
Posted on 9 July 2012 by Billy
2 Comments on Balvenie, a crafty bunch
The folks at Balvenie have been a bit busy recently. In fact, that seems to be the way I start off most posts about them, so I suspect the 'recently' is more of a 'for the last couple of years'. Their latest bit of busy-ness to cross my path is a new bottling that we've just got in – the new batch of their increasingly sought after Tun 1401.
David Stewart stroking his favourite vat
The series kicked off a few years back with a distillery-only bottling named after long serving Balvenie malt master David Stewart's favourite marrying vat – Tun 1401. It sits in their famed Warehouse 24 and is used to mix together various casks of whisky for a number of their bottlings, and in honour of its favoured status the special bottling for distillery visitors took its name. The whisky went down rather well…
With the distillery bottling sold out and favourable reports on Tun 1401 spreading, the distillery decided to make more, this time giving it a bit of a wider release than Dufftown: Batch 2 was released for the UK and Europe, and promptly won its category at the 2012 World Whisky Awards. Batch 3 was then bottled for the USA and Batch 4 was recently launched into travel retail. All sold rather well, with batches 2 and 3 now pretty much sold out (although we still have the occasional bottle of Batch 2 popping up) and further batches were inevitable.
Enter Tun 1401 Batch 5.
Tun 1401 Batch 5, complete with tastefully pink barrel
As with the previous batches, number 5 is a marrying of a small number of casks that David Stewart has found in the depths of the Balvenie warehouses – casks without a specifically assigned destiny that he rather liked the look of. Batch 5 uses nine casks (the capacity of the eponymous marrying vat) – 4 sherry butts from 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1975; 3 bourbon hogsheads from 1966 (the oldest cask in the mix, filled just 4 years after David started working at the distillery), 1972 and 1973; and 2 bourbon barrels from 1974 and 1991.
The casks yielded a total of 2862 bottles, released at cask strength, of which 800 are destined for the UK, with the other 2000 going to selected markets in Europe (for those further afield – Batch 6 is marrying as I type).
We hope to have it available on the website imminently – keep an eye on Twitter, Facebook, our new products page and this post…
[Update: It's now available on the website]
Tim and I recently did some baton passing at a day of events that Balvenie ran at The Savoy in London, pairing up their 'hand-crafted whisky' with the recently refurbished 'hand-crafted hotel'. I kicked off the TWE presence at the launch of the Tun 1401 batch 5 before Tim took over at the evening's Masters of Craft dinner. Fortunately they had a few bottles of the Tun 1401 to hand and we both got to have a taste:
Nose: Beeswax, runny honey, dried orange peel, sweet spice, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, mango and tropical fruit juice all up front. Hiding underneath all that was some dark sherry notes with dark chocolate, raisins and less sweet spice – cloves, liquorice root and cinnamon.
Palate: A smack of rich and spicy sherried fruit up front, with raisins and cinnamon backed up by old polished wood, leather, dried cherries and cloves. However, given a bit of time in the glass and on the tongue there's a waxiness that appears, along with floral honey and a touch more of the Juicy Fruit gum sweetness.
Finish: Dark chocolate raisins, squishy currants, pine resin, unchopped tobacco leaves and lingering old wood.
Comments: Not what I expected at all. It takes the regular honeyed Balvenie profile and then twists it with some excellent old sherried whisky and some waxy and fruity bourbon matured spirit. I really enjoyed it.
[…and over to Tim for part two of the day]
Nose: Pretty entrancing. Big, rich sherry and varnished oaky notes, with bark, old leaves (in a good way), then some darker treacle and black cherry notes.
Palate: Doesn't disappoint. Intensely richly-flavoured without being cloying or overpowering. As with the nose, the emphasis is very much on the sherry, something I hadn't previously associated with Balvenie until the show-stopping Craftsmen's Reserve: The Cooper a few months back. Great concentration of rich dried fruit, then becomes pleasingly dry mid-palate – poss one or two Oloroso casks? A developing chocolatey note with water.
Finish: Long, multi-faceted and pleasingly drying – very moreish.
Comments: Absolutely terrific stuff, another wonderful surprise from the Balvenie.
So, I'd rocked up for the evening Balvenie do – the awards ceremony for the Balvenie Masters of Craft competition.
I'll confess that I have a love/hate relationship with my suit. On one hand, and to its immense credit, in combination with a shave and a recently-ironed shirt it makes me look as presentable as I can be, while managing to both accomodate and disguise my expanding girth. On the other hand, in hot weather it's like being in a neck-high sarcophagus. In London, of course, this is not normally a problem. However, on both of the occasions I've had to wear my suit in 2012 it has turned out to be the hottest day of the year.
As a result, I must confess that the notes above were taken very much off the cuff while I was standing in front of an air-conditioning unit on full blast in an attempt to prevent myself dissolving into a puddle of damp, sweaty cloth. As such, I don't think I've even scratched the surface with this whisky, but what I found was more than enough to convince me to shell out for it when it turns up. It may be expensive, and my already heavily-laden credit card is quietly weeping in the corner, but quality of this kind is unusual and given that the youngest whisky in the mix is 21 years old I don't think the pricetag is OTT.
However, regular readers of the blog will perhaps already have worked out that all of this was entirely beside the point. The evening do, thankfully, was not about sweaty overweight men in their late thirties (although I certainly wasn't the only one of that species in attendance), nor even about the new Tun 1401 – that was just a very welcome extra treat – it was about celebrating the fine work of the nominees for the Balvenie Masters of Craft Awards.
The Masters of Craft and a few hangers on...
These awards are only in their second year, but it's clear that they are already both very prestigious and highly prized by the craft community – as evidenced by the presence of Grand Designs head honcho Kevin McCloud on the judging panel, the involvement of the Sunday Telegraph as official media partner, the impassioned, moving speech given by Patricia Lovett, the Vice Chair of the Heritage Craft Association and the fact that this year's awards received three times the number of entries as last year's inaugural event.
The dinner was held in the Abraham Lincoln room downstairs at the Savoy, a beautiful space that was further illuminated by a speech from the hotel's in-house archivist Susan Scott, who gave us an insight into the extraordinarily extensive restoration of the hotel, which began at the end of 2007 and ended up taking three years and costing over £200 million.
Over the course of the meal prizes were awarded in seven material-based categories including Metal, Glass & Ceramics, Food, Leather, Textiles, Stone and Wood with each category being introduced by one of the judges, who gave further insights into the importance of both the crafts and the awards that honour them. There were also awards for the Young Master of Craft and a Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Robert George Armstrong, a thatcher from Salisbury with decades of devotion to practicing his craft under his belt.
Heather Gillespie and one of her copper wheel engraved vases
Each of the finalists from the materials awards was considered for the overall title of the Balvenie Master of Craft 2012, with Heather Gillespie – a copper wheel glass engraver who had earlier triumphed in the Glass & Ceramics category – walking away with the gong.
I have to say that the whole event was an eye-opener for me – I had no idea that the craft scene in the UK was in such rude health, but judging by the youth of many of the finalists and the outstanding quality of all the work on display these are exciting times for British crafts. There's no doubt that the mental demarcation line between 'Arts' and 'Crafts' in my head has been permanently blurred, and there's no doubt that many of the works we saw in Nick Hand's superb photographs of the finalists would grace any gallery they found themselves in. Nick was also one of the judges and spoke eloquently about his affection and respect for the participating competitors. I was particularly taken with the shots he'd taken of Stone category-winner Callum Gray's dry stone-walled firepit.
Hand cut and held together by gravity
I suppose I have frequently been guilty of thinking of craft as something mostly built for a functional purpose, with occasional stylistic flourishes. Not any more – there's no question for me now that the best in craft is far more than that – it's a group term for a multitude of traditions of art and sculpture with additional functional or practical purposes, and everyone who practices it, whatever level of skill or artistry they achieve, performs a valuable role in the preservation of those traditions, many of which go back centuries or even milennia.
It was therefore both heartening and humbling to witness the effort, dedication, talent and commitment poured into their work by the craftspeople at the event – and a privilege for a talentless no-mark such as myself, who can't draw a straight line with a ruler or put up a set of shelves, to be in the same room as these artists.
Which brings us to the Chair of the Judges: David Stewart, The Balvenie's Malt Master, now in his 50th year of service to William Grant & Sons, the owners of Balvenie and Glenfiddich (as well as Kininvie, Monkey Shoulder, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, Hendrick's Gin and Reyka Vodka, in case you weren't aware).
David has been Malt Master at Balvenie since 1974 – the year your correspondent here was born – and his decades of loyal service and enduring talent for producing and assembling the finest single malts most certainly qualify him as a Master Crafstman, and have led to him receiving several Lifetime Achievement Awards himself. The spectacular Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5 reviewed above is just the latest of his remarkable creations, and I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that David continues to practice his craft in his own inimitable way for many years to come.
Many thanks to Balvenie for putting on a really fantastic event, and I hope that all of the extremely talented craftspeople at the ceremony continue to get the recognition and respect that their hard work and commitment deserve.

Starting at the End: Global Communism
April 8th, 2013 Future Brad Alles
Here's what Marxism sees as humanity's future as stated in my new book, Starting at the End. It focuses on worldviews and their vision of earth's destiny.
Economics, according to Marxism, is the driving force in history. Capitalism will die out (a free exchange of privately-owned goods and services) and socialism (a government-controlled economy) will pave the way for communism. Vladimir Lenin, leader of the 1917 Russian Revolution wrote, "Communists should know that the future belongs to them." Dr. David Noebel explains, "The paradise to which all of history is leading is a socialist/communist society. Salvation for the Marxist lies in the consummation of the historical process in a one-world utopia…The laws leading the world toward communism are inexorable, and no amount of human will can stop the collapse of capitalism, the rise of socialism, and the steady transition from socialism to communism."
Starting at the end with Marxism reveals that the entire planet will move into one classless society, where everyone shares and shares alike in a communal paradise. There will be no "haves" and "have-nots." This will be a heaven on earth.
Frances Fox Piven, professor of political science at the City University of New York (CUNY) told an audience of the Left Forum 2012, "We can work together because we have a really huge task before us of transforming America and the world. And there is room for all of us. For religious leftists, for people who think peace is the main answer, for people who think that wholesome food is what we really need, for ecologists and for the old-fashioned Southern Democrats, Democratic Socialists, Socialists and Communists. So we are all together."
"Transforming America and the world" is clearly the goal of Marxism. Yet when confronted with the evidence that their worldview doesn't work—the failed Communist nations, the success of capitalism—they simply start at the end. Schwarz summarizes it this way: "In the last analysis, (the Marxist) believes in the inevitable triumph of Communism, not because of the evidence, but because of his faith in the dialectic." Marxists are Marxists not because of the present, but because of the future. The future, they believe, belongs to them. This is an act of faith–not in God, but in Marxism and its economic system.

Q: Cannot close thread in xbmc: I need some help regarding how to kill or terminate the thread for xbmc media application as I'm using python version 2.6. Iam able to open the thread when I hit the enter button on the keyboard, but I'm not able  to kill or terminate the thread when I hit the backspace button.
Here is the code:
import urllib2
import StringIO
import threading

ACTION_ENTER = 7
ACTION_BACKSPACE = 110

def allchannels_timer(self):
   for i in range(1):
        time.sleep(0.3)
        self.getControl(4202).setLabel("0%")
        #DOWNLOAD THE XML SOURCE HERE
        url = ADDON.getSetting('allchannel.url')
        req = urllib2.Request(url)
        response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
        data = response.read()
        response.close()

if action == ACTION_BACKSPACE:
     if img1_yellow == False:
       self.getControl(4202).setLabel("")
       #cancel the connection and close the database

if action == ACTION_ENTER:
     if img1_yellow == True:
         self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.allchannels_timer)
         self.thread.setDaemon(True)
         self.thread.start()

Do you know how I can kill or terminate the thread when I hit the backspace button?
What method do I need to use to kill or terminate the thread?

A: There is no method that can kill/terminate a thread. Normally what you need to do is some how indicate to the thread that it should shut down, and have code in the thread itself that checks for that indication, and gracefully shuts down the thread when its received.
This can't easily be applied to your code, though, since the vast majority of your threaded function's run time is spent in a single blocking I/O call. What you could do, is make that call in a separate process, which can be terminated, rather than a separate thread. That way, your thread can wait in a loop for the process to complete, but also wait for a signal from the main thread that it should terminate.
Normally I would suggested moving the whole threaded function to a separate process, but it looks like you're trying to update a GUI element from the thread, which probably will not work properly in a separate process. (Usually it doesn't work properly from a separate thread, either, though.)

Google Pixel 3 to feature eSIM in India with carriers – Airtel and Reliance: Google made an announcement on Tuesday regarding the eSIM wireless service with Reliance Jio and Airtel telecom carriers in India on its Google Pixel 3 smartphone. Google is the first smartphone seller to support built-in eSIMs. Kerrie Lenhart, Director, Partnerships at Google, said in a statement that Airtel and Reliance in India would be the two carriers which will launch the eSIM support for Pixel 3.
"Sprint in the US, EE in the UK, Airtel and Reliance Jio in India, and Truphone and Gigsky in various countries will also roll out eSIM support for Pixel 3 in the coming months," Kerrie Lenhart Hogan said.
Pixel 2 is the head chief smartphone with eSIM, a set in SIM that lets you directly connect to a carrier network with just one tap. The SIM stores all the essential information to detect and validate the mobile users. With the use of eSIM, users can easily connect through all the devices in the Google network, ranging from Android smartphones, Chromebooks as well as Wear OS smartwatches.
An eSIM comes as an integrated SIM chip which can't be removed from the device and sometimes it is also known as eUICC (embedded Universal Circuit Card). The data on the eSIM is amenable and re-writable by all users or operators. The credentials data can be updated over the year, to allow an alteration or change of the user. With the usage of eSIM there will be no new SIM required.
Goggle also said, "To enable a consistent and simple experience across the ecosystem, we're also creating a programme that allows Android device makers to build eSIM-capable smartphones".
Google Pixel 3 was launched in India on October with 2 variants one of 64 GB and 128 GB. The 64 GB variants of 'Google Pixel 3' costs Rs 71,000 and for the 128 GB variants it costs up to Rs 80,000 in India.

text: Q: Работа нескольких virtual host на одном доменном имени Простой вопрос. Если имеется сервер с конкретным IP и привязанным к нему доменным именем (зарегистрированным, например www.homepage.com). То каким образом осуществляется переход по разным virtual host в пределах сервера. Ведь, чтобы попасть на заданный сервер все равно придется обращаться к www.homepage.com. То есть концепция virtual host имеет смысл, только если для одного IP зарегистрировано у регистратора более одного доменного имени. Правильно ли я понимаю. Спасибо
