Vestiges 1991-2012
January 14, 2013
by Josef Koudelka
View profile
Marseille-Provence 2013, European Capital of Culture, is a Euro-Mediterranean project. Artists have therefore been asked to present their visions of Europe and the Mediterranean region.
Josef Koudelka was born in Czechoslovakia, a country with no sea. Between 1991and 2012, he completed a long journey around the nineteen countries bordering the Mediterranean, stopping at over two hundred Greek and Roman archaeological sites. This was an unprecedented exploration. Before Koudelka, nobody had attempted to make such a comprehensive photographic record of these historical vestiges with so much persistence and so little assistance.
In the nineteenth century, Romantic painters had a predilection for ruins. Their paintings glorified this melancholy atmosphere. Koudelka also creates images of ruins. However, he is not a Romantic and does not need melancholy to inspire his art. These relics are not the poignant remains of things that die. They are signs of a situation that art seeks to recreate in the present. Here, on the shores of the "common sea," this situation is the birth of Europe and its founding principles.
This work builds on what came before it. Koudelka follows the path he took for Exiles, La Mission photographique de la DATAR, La Mission Transmanche and Chaos. This path is marked by landscapes where the grandeur and efforts of humans risk disappearing. Whether Koudelka's subject is industrial ruins in the north of France or the columns of forums and temples, his aim is not to needlessly document history. His aim is to use art to reappropriate a world that is escaping us and that we could lose – a world where the mind alternates between reason and faith, law and liberty; a world, "whose heaps of rubble and inexhaustible hopes we carry within us" according to Jacques Berque. Transforming rubble into hope – that is what Koudelka achieves in this exceptional journey, the different stages of which are presented in this exhibition.
Bernard Latarget, curator of the exhibition.
Coproduction by Marseille City, Magnum Photos, and Marseille-Provence 2013. In collaboration with the French institutes in the countries concerned. With the cooperation of Picto, Ilford, and Circad. Exhibition's partners: CIC Lyonnaise de Banque.

Reviewed by Jackson M. (age 8)
I liked the book because it is adventurous, exciting, it's also cool and interesting because they can cast magic spells.
My favorite character is Jack because he is patient and very smart.
My favorite part was when Jack turned a lion statue into a real lion, it was cool.
I recommend this book because it is cool and exciting because they use magic. I recommend this book for ages seven to fourteen because it's long and kind of hard to read for some people.

Chatswood High School
Ever since I first visited the Monaro region of southern New South Wales I have been drawn to it. Under the upturned bowl of the sky, standing alone in that vast, bleak landscape, a sense of lightness and clarity of mind – a hyper-awareness of my environment – seems to wash over me. I feel profoundly content there, and my artwork is my attempt at expressing that feeling exactly as I experience it: with a camera in my hand.
Influencing artists: Neil Fraser, Arthur Boyd

Carleton's 2013 Lefler Lecture Highlights "Animals and Humans in Louis XIV's Paris"
Submitted by Jessica Paxton on Wed, 01/16/2013 - 1:24pm
Jan 23 2013 5:00 pm
Location:Leighton Hall, Room 305, Carleton College
Anita Guerrini, a historian of the life sciences and medicine and a professor at Oregon State University, will deliver the Winter 2013 Herbert P. Lefler Lecture in History at Carleton College on Wednesday, Jan. 23. Guerrini's talk, entitled "Animals and Humans in Louis XIV's Paris," will explore animals, anatomy and natural history during the reign of Louis XIV (r. 1643-1715). The lecture begins at 5 p.m. in room 305 of Leighton Hall, and it is free and open to the public.
Guerrini is particularly interested in environmental history and in the history of the relationship between animals and human beings. She is currently writing a book, The Courtiers' Anatomists, which will focus on the subjects to be discussed in her lecture at Carleton, and is also researching the role of history in ecological restoration. In addition to many published articles, Guerrini co-edited the book Ballads and Broadsides in Britain, 1500-1800 (Ashgate, 2010), which focuses on the development of popular print in early modern Britain. She is also the author of Obesity and Depression in the Enlightenment: The Life and Times of George Cheyne (University of Oklahoma Press, 2000), Experimenting with Humans and Animals: From Galen to Animal Rights (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003) andNatural History and the New World, 1524-1770: An Annotated Bibliography (American Philosophical Society, 1986). A graduate of Connecticut College, Oxford University and Indiana University, Guerrini taught at the University of Minnesota and the University of California at Santa Barbara before coming to Oregon State.
Carleton College's Lefler Lecture Series, endowed by Herbert P. and Mary Jane Lefler, is designed to bring prominent historians to campus that have recently raised important conceptual questions relevant to the entire discipline of history. Recent Lefler lecturers have included Michael Gomez, a professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic history at New York University, and Giancarlo Casale, a professor of Ottoman history at the University of Minnesota. These Lefler lectures have taken place each term since the fall of 1979.
For more information about this event, including disability accommodations, contact the Carleton College Department of History at (507) 222-4217. Leighton Hall is located at the end of North College Street in Northfield.

Re: Pheonix023's Art
Sooooo, Adeptus.....I finally finished that pic that you requested....in October. My apologies about the delay, I hope all the love I put into it makes up for taking so long. I kept on delaying finishing it, because I loved it so much and didn't want to let it go, but.....all good things must end, so I made myself sit down and stop fussing about the tiny things that no one would ever notice. I almost cried when I couldn't think of any way to make it even better....so, without further ado, I give you Kal'ik:

Nebraska CNA License Requirements
All professionals are governed by a state regulatory body and nursing assistants are no exception. To become a CNA, an individual must complete the required prerequisite training courses and then pass the CNA certification exam to earn their license.
The state of Nebraska has a mandatory minimum number of training hours that must be completed in order to take the CNA exam. These credit hours must be completed at a state-approved CNA training facility prior to enrolling for the CNA certification exam.
CNA Certification Exam in Nebraska
The Nebraska CNA test consists of two parts: written multiple choice questions and a hands-on practical skills evaluation. Both portions must be completed successfully to achieve a passing score on the exam.
Taking the CNA Test in Nebraska
If a student fails one section of the exam (written or practical) they will usually be allowed to re-take that particular section at a later date. If they pass the second time around they can earn their CNA certification. If an individual fails the Nebraska CNA test three times within a two-year period they will be required to re-do their training before attempting the test again.

Thanks to "The Bourne Supremacy" and "Ultimatum," Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon are as respected and successful as any director-star action duo working today, and deservedly so. The pair's latest effort, "Green Zone," tarnishes that legacy.
If you're going to make a film about the hunt for weapons of mass destruction and the run-up to the Iraq War, with the events still fresh in everyone's minds, you need to offer a new angle and/or make it a ripping good yarn. But as "Green Zone" follows Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (played by Damon) in the hunt for WMD, it fails to do either. Instead, it gives us a Cliff's Notes version of the events that neither engages nor inflames, and is, worse still, boring.
"Green Zone" rather limply and lamely leans toward calling out the Bush Administration, but puts most of the blame on Clark Poundstone (played by Greg Kinnear), a riff on Paul Bremer (sans Timberlands). It's an origin that fails to give the Left its pound of flesh or the Right its vindication.
The fictionalization of Judith Miller, the former New York Times reporter who, depending on your politics, was a shameless propagandist for the Bush party line or a great journalist who, like much of the world, was misled by bad intel, is odd as well. Changing her affiliation from the NYT to the Wall Street Journal is such a thin cover that more than anything arouses suspicions about Helgeland's motivations. Is he trying to protect the Times? Implicate the Journal?
If you're going to dramatize real events, you need to sex things up, have some fun, offer new perspectives… Instead, we watch Damon's character dutifully hop from plot point to plot point: There are no WMDs!...Something's amiss...Bad intel...De-Baathification...MIssion Accomplished...And on and on.
Compounding matters is that the film is – irrespective of its politics or accuracy – boring. Much of the action is dulled by darkness, out-of-focus shots and kinetic camera work. Yes, the fog of war and all that, but could we please see something?
And all this is to say nothing of the almost embarrassing litany of similarities between "Zone" and "Ultimatum," with Kinnear in the David Strathairn role, Amy Ryan as Paddy Considine with a splash of Joan Allen, Magellan as Blackbriar… there's a even a nameless assassin dispatched to snuff out our hero.
If Greengrass and screenwriter Brian Helgeland really wanted to split the difference while staking out a bold and controversial position, they could have framed the war as the tragic case of the unintended consequences of good intentions run amok – that at least might've been something to think about, offering some larger lessons to both sides. Alas, no.
Rather than digging deep into the wounds of the Iraq War or offering a path to healing, "Green Zone" picks distractedly at the scab just enough to make it mildly irritating for a brief time, offering no satisfaction.

Do you Have Nature at Home with you?
KWG Curator, John Manion
I'd like to bring to your attention something about which I am very excited, have worked very hard on and that is near-and-dear to my heart. It's Birmingham Botanical Gardens' Central South Native Plant Conference on Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5. This year for the first time, we have as our co-sponsors Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve, Jefferson County Master Gardeners, Shelby County Master Gardeners, Alabama Wildflower Society and the Blanche Dean Chapter of the Alabama Wildflower Society. Members of all these organizations receive our member discount on registration.
About a year ago, I was invited to be program director for this event which is only held every three years. Because it is an infrequent event, and because it was my first whack at developing programs, my goal was to make the event so wonderful that participants would eagerly await the next conference.
I wanted to lay the foundation for the conference by selecting a heavy hitter for our keynote speaker. That was an easy decision for me, and if you are attending the conference, you will see why. This individual's work and writings are so influential, that once I was able to engage him as a presenter, I chose to develop the entire conference theme around his philosophies.
Doug Tallamy, with his very influential book Bringing Nature Home, has prompted a significant paradigm shift in the way people view and understand our world of nature. If there were ever a book that I thought should be required (not just recommended) for anyone interested in nature, this book would be my top choice. I divide my own years of being involved with plants into "pre-Tallamy" and "post-Tallamy" stages. Some of the comments I receive from people who have read his book are amusing, with an almost religious fervor about them…comments such as "he changed my life!" or "I'll never see the world the same again!" Anyone that has read the book will completely understand these sentiments.
An example of my pre-and post-Tallamy stages: before reading Doug's book, if I found something munching some of my plants, my knee-jerk reaction would have been to quickly figure out how to halt the process. Now, when I see this process in motion, I celebrate, realizing that it is a sign that "the system is intact."
The overarching theme of the two-day event is: Native Plants: The Bigger Picture – How Native Plants Complete the Puzzle." In addition to discussing many native plants and their related topics, this conference will focus on the numerous important roles they play in our ecosystems and how we can help keep those systems intact. We will address the interrelationships of native plants to the myriad of life forms…birds, bees, butterflies, bugs – and humans!
In addition to Tallamy, we will have 26(!) other presenters ranging from speakers to workshop and field trip leaders. We are excited that Gil Nelson, noted author of the recently published Best Native Plants for Southern Gardens will also speak, as will Rick Lewandowski, the director of one of the pre-eminent native plant gardens worldwide, the stunning Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware. Two other plenary speakers will be our own director of education, Henry Hughes, who will speak about the legacy of native trees in public parks, and Dan Long, the very popular nurseryman who studies, speaks about, grows and sells vines, numerous among them, native species.
To read the full line-up of lectures, break-out sessions, workshops and field trips, see: http://bbgardens.org/central-south.php. Four of our speakers who have authored popular books will have them for sale and will be available for signings.
Please forward this announcement to any individuals or groups you think might be interested.

Approximately 500 community members, civic leaders and donors attended Toast & Twinkle, the Center on Halsted's third holiday party, on Dec. 12. A quintet from Lakeside Pride Music Ensembles played seasonal tunes as guests checked in for the center's open house.
Staff members and volunteers conducted tours of the community center and talked about the many services it provides. "It's a great opportunity for people to see what the center is all about," said Tom Elliott, director of public relations. "Every door is open. On the third floor, we offer sports such as volleyball. In our theater ... we're teaching tango classes. On the second level, we have our youth space, HIV testing, a senior center and a mental health wing. Every day we have 1,000 people walking through our doors for a variety of services."
Guests also toured the Cyber Center, where there are 20 computers available for public use. The evening featured artwork from Doug Birkenheuer, Emily Rutledge and Michael Payne, as well as desserts served by culinary students from the center's Silver Fork program, a nine-week course for members of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community who are unemployed or underemployed.
"My reason for joining the board was because I wanted to belong to an organization that really embraced the community and made it a better place for everybody," said Marcus Brady, chairman of the board for the center. Located in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, the center has been serving the LGBTQ community since 2007.

For well over 200 years, 14 black patriots from Harlowe who served in the American Revolution were basically forgotten.
For well over 200 years, 14 black patriots from Harlowe who served in the American Revolution were basically forgotten.
They are forgotten no more.
The men were honored in an elaborate Sunday ceremony by the Sons of the American Revolution, with historical group representatives from across North and South Carolina in attendance.
Wreathes were placed in honor of each man and a plaque was unveiled beside the entrance to the Harlowe Community Center.
Revolutionary re-enactors added authenticity for a large audience, secured under a tent. A color guard from the Cherry Point air station stood at attention in the rain during the hour-plus event.
Many descendants of the honored men were also in the audience. The honored men include Isaac Carter, John Carter, Joshua Carter, William Dove, John Gregory, James Manley, Simeon Moore, George Perkins, Isaac Perkins, Aaron Spelman, Asa Spelman, Hezekiah Stringer, Mingo Stringer and Absalom Martin.
Marion T. Lane, commander of the Society of Descendants of Washington�s Army at Valley Forge, said the Harlowe men were part of a great contribution to America�s freedom.
She noted that while the average colonist enlisted and fought in the Revolution for six months, African-Americans �enlisted for the duration, about 4 1/2 years.�
�They were there in a significant way and in significant numbers,� Lane said. �It is something our children need to learn, the significant contribution of the men of color in the Revolutionary War.�
Joseph Dooley, the president general for the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, said that as much as 10 percent of Colonial forces were black.
�Could we have won our freedom with a 10 percent loss of our troops,� he asked.
He talked about the invisibility of most blacks in the Revolution, including history books.
He said it was a century after the war before a significant book was written on their impact.
�It is sad that Americans of all colors don�t know their own history,� he said. �The men we honor today were freedom fighters.�

A Christmas Carol and Timeless Lessons
For starters, Scrooge is confronted by his old partner Marley. After establishing that Scrooge's sole purpose in life is to get as rich as possible, Marley's ghost informs Scrooge that he's destined for eternal misery if he doesn't change his outlook on life ASAFP… to which Scrooge dismisses as a figment of his imagination (I would argue his conscience telling him he needs to change, but I digress). As the story progresses, we learn that Scrooge has associated many negative memories with Christmas until he became so hard against Christmas that he now denigrates it and considers it a waste of time. I think Dickens makes clear this isn't because Scrooge is inherently bad, but that his circumstances in life have led him to grow harder each year until he becomes who we are introduced to at the beginning of the story.
The ghost of Christmas past shows Scrooge his happier times when he used to view the world through a young man's eyes; when he was the most joyous. While being shown these images, Scrooge remembers them fondly for the most part but we also learn of certain aspects of life that harden his heart and teach him the hard realities of life. The main lesson from the ghost of Christmas past though, is that while this life does have hardship and strife, it is the way of the world and we shouldn't lose sight that we still have much to be thankful for.
When the ghost of Christmas present arrives, we learn of Bob Cratchet and his son, Tiny Tim. The point of this part of the story is to teach us that there are many people in this life right now who need help and that we should do our utmost to help them out of genuine concern for our fellow man. The illness of Tiny Tim weighs especially heavy on Scrooge and he learns of Tim's fate through the ghost ("crutch without an owner"). We should take away from this that as people who have had the good fortune to receive God's blessings in life, we need to remember the ones who haven't and take our own initiative to help those in need—as Christ did for us by sacrificing himself for us.
Christmas future shows how Scrooge is remembered as a man and he discovers his reputation is left wanting. We finally see the outcome of our short lives and long rest and discover that money is not important. Scrooge may die rich, but he never enjoyed the money to begin with, never shared his wealth with those in need, and never built good relationships with even his family (nephew). So he dies a naked man despite dressing himself for a funeral before-hand. This is symbolic of not being able to take anything with you, and in fact, we will face god as naked men and women with all our faults to answer for.
The three ghosts may change Scrooge's attitude in the end, but Dickens was really showing us ourselves in this story, and Scrooge's transformation is really Dickens' wish for all of us that we learn to help others as Jesus did and not let ourselves get so hard in life that we neglect those we can help. After all, Jesus didn't neglect us!

Today's post is a cross-pollination from my SQL Awesomesauce blog that I thought you might enjoy. -J
These days, we have a myriad of ways to judge whether any given product – like, say, a book on SQL Server – is any good. We ask our friends in the industry, check reviews online, or failing anything else, we go for the name we recognize. "Hey, Dan Bookman has a new version of SQL Server Widgetizing for Mortals out for R2? Awesome, I need that!"
One thing you should really be aware of, though: It's very common practice for an author to write a book, and then have nothing to do with the next-version rewrite that has his/her name on the cover (either because s/he didn't care to dive back into the book writing process again so soon, or wasn't asked, for whatever reason). So Dan Bookman's name may be on the cover of Wigitizing ver R2, but it's not his baby any more.
This isn't always a bad thing. I've seen books go from good to great (or less than good, to great) with a new author at the helm to build on old material. The trick is finding out before you buy. How, you say? I'm so glad you asked. Here, have a cookie.
Definitely, check the reviews, ask your friends. But if you're looking at a book because of the author, and you suspect the newer version didn't involve that author…why not ask that author?
"Hey, Dan Bookman…I loved 'SQL Server Widgetizing for Mortals 2005', and I notice you're second-listed on the cover of the new R2 book. I was just wondering if you were involved with the new book, and whether you recommend it?"
There may be a few authors who will candy-coat if they don't like the new book, but in my experience authors are pretty straightforward with their opinions. Likewise, you might be tempted to think that an author will promo his/her own book over others', but I suspect that's pretty rare, too. The tech authors I've met and talked to aren't in the least concerned about losing the $2 (ish?) from the sale of a book…they'd rather see that you get the best info available.
It's interesting to note, by the way, that authors don't get rich writing tech books. They make some money, sure. But they write largely for the experience, the exposure, and the amount of knowledge one picks up in the authoring process.
Happy days, and for heavan's sake, caveat emptor!

.. oh how wonderful that you got such a front row seat, and your illustration is great ... congratulationsReplyDelete
What an AWESOME soiree and awesome historic restaurant!
Lucky you!!
Doodle !! that's a piece to be proud of. Look at where it's been shown now. Fantastic, thank you for sharing how 'some of the other half live.' Congratulations Barbara LilianReplyDelete
Bonjour Carol. Le Cirque sounds like a very special place, and I am glad you told us the story today... even happier you were there to document the big soiree... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
You are one surprise after another. That isn't like any doodle I would do. Yours is fantastic. How fun to be included in the book.ReplyDelete
I can't help but ask: What are the rather unappealing grey mounds on the pastry tray near the lemon goodies? I have never seen anything of that particular color offered as a dessert anywhere.ReplyDelete
such a blurry picture Bev
I didn't taste them but they looked like chocolate something or other
They had to be as good as the lemon meringues I'm sure of that.
Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for them. Sort of. :)
I'll be at the Paris Salon du Chocolat and I hope to try all kinds of PRETTY nibbly things.
Bravo & Yay! So what is he doing in your "doodle"? The New Yorker is next? Did you wear your turquoise scarf with the mac t-shirt?ReplyDelete
Wonderful! Congratulations! I love that your drawing is included in the book. Love the whole story ... and the evening. Bravo, talented lady xxxReplyDelete
'Doodle' is a fantastic understatement here! Wow! I'd no idea of your talents in this genre too (satire, editorial cartoon?). I'd love to know the sub-plots here - how you got to be hanging around in the kitchen, what prompted the drawing ...?ReplyDelete
Gosh tanks!
Really not a big mystery. I met the Le Cirque team many times while shooting at the James Beard Foundation. Sometimes I'd drop off photos or drawings I'd done from photos at the restaurant. The team in the back were terrific. Sometimes I was comped for lunch on a birthday say..but snacking in the back was the best!
My truffle days...
Fabulous post! I love the 'Old New York' and nice to know with Le Cirque it still exists. I knew a chef from the Jackie Kennedy days who said she was so thoughtful. And saw Carmen once in San Francisco. A gazelle.
LOVE your very smart 'doddle' too!
What a great doodle..vraiment!No wonder they took it..:-)
I have heard of this restorant for years and years of course:-)
Never been of course:-)
Took Jacques for a muffin and coffee to a cute little place amongst quasi-suburbia..and he said your muffins are better...
See why we rarely go out?
I like the small experiments..you learn..You learn so much Carol!
Carmen..then and now..quelle belle femme.
Who needs Paris for nightlife when you have such a fabulous, posh place in NYC? Looks like a great night out.
Your sketches are cute & the photos are terrific.
How wonderful that the great people of La Cirque included your doodle in their book! I have never been there, but have read many a story about the magnificent original place. I almost feel they are my own memories.
Greetings from south of the Mason-Dixon Line,
Congratulations! OF course he wanted to include it - if he has any sense of humor at all!
Check out something special I posted for you on Flickr!
Brava C well deserved he obviously loved it to include in his book (how could he not)
great post! i love the painting at the top of the post, did you also make the sketch on the business card? Looks like your style. have a great day!!ReplyDelete
Patiently waiting for new Canon shots..:) No rush..really..just waiting..no pressure either.
Have a great day.
PS I've always love Jacques.T..:) and C of course.
I never ate at the original, but did dine there for Restaurant Week this summer. Delicious meal, snobbish maître d'. Heard him telling the hostesses to shuffle the Restaurant Week crowd to the more casual side of the restaurant. They tried to do this to us but we asked for fancier side.ReplyDelete
I know Sirio from my parents and I went to school with Marco, who is a doll by the way, Le Cirque from old is the one that I knew and loved. Fantastic post and I am a huge fan of yours!!
Have a wonderful day!
I LOVE PB, but please:
chefs graced its portals.
chefs graced it's portals.

Trying to describe this man is like trying to describe the Tooth Fairy. He has the tannest skin, bluest eyes and snuggest zebra pants. Jewels, ribbons, scarves and patterns amplify every inch of him, precision and abandon meeting somewhere between his impeccably curled mustache and the "Sex Cymbal" strapped to his back (not to mention the plastic necktie he made so he can wear his goldfish).
Sir Gaga has spent a dozen years clubbing up and down the Boulevard like it's his job, to the point where he's practically deaf. In return for his staggering dedication and style, he's one of the most recognized and photographed characters in Vegas. We know his face, but the man behind the party animal is a mystery. So I devote a Saturday to getting under Sir Gaga's pearl/lace/rhinestone hat to a spritely guy named Gary Fisher.
Gary is less tan. His eyes are brown, not blue. When we meet for coffee he wears khakis, an argyle sweater and a single scarf. Gary shows me hundreds of the thousands of photos his alter ego has taken with celebrities, models, porn stars and tourists drawn to Sir Gaga's whimsy. The archive helps him avoid repeat outfits. He's not afraid to rock women's clothing if it's fabulous, and he embellishes with everything from magazine clippings to wall clocks. "I like to set the trends," he says. "I'm not a follower."
He tells me that after earning a degree in archaeology and anthropology at Cal State Northridge, he studied design at UCLA and worked for an architect before moving to the cosmetics industry. In Vegas, he's made a living as an actor and avant-garde fashion designer for his own label, Zantar Design Concepts (a cloak of sexy bras; custom 3D neckties for such clients as Stevie Wonder and Sylvester Stallone). By his tally, he's appeared in 66 films, 32 TV shows and 20 commercials, playing everything from a one-eyed prisoner to an alien cult member. If a movie is shot here, Gary is somewhere in the frame.
Lowball Diary
As Sir Gaga, he's always in the spotlight. At 10:30 p.m. we head to Tryst amid rampant gasps of delight, fist-bumps and photo requests. Sir Gaga doesn't charge, but he does have rules: Purses and cocktails are not allowed in the shot; cameras must be held vertical for full effect; if he poses with you then he expects the same courtesy. Tryst to Surrender to XS, doormen wave us immediately to the VIP entrance, greeting Sir Gaga with genuine affection. It's no surprise once you see the reaction he gets. Hot blondes to beefy bros, clubgoers love him. They invite him to their tables and offer him copious booze. He stays only a minute or so, and though he enjoys an occasional "sissy drink," he keeps it classy in that department, too.
By 2 a.m. we're in an XS cabana with Yeah-Yeah from The Sandlot, a hipster pimp and a bachelor party of sweet nerds (and the women drinking their vodka). Sir Gaga charms them all. He often lines his pockets with silk panties so he can whip them out like handkerchiefs and make people laugh. He sweats under the weight of his grin-inducing getups, stopping for anyone who wants a photo. Whatever validation he gets, he tirelessly gives joy—priceless mementos of how bananas visitors want Las Vegas to be. I think that's why venues treat him like Michael Phelps.
I ask where his energy comes from. Gary says he doesn't sleep much. When he does, he dreams of Sir Gaga's next adventure. "One night he's a rock star. Next night he's a wild animal with his animal prints. Another time he's a Popsicle with his bright pastel colors," Gary muses. Somewhere, Liberace is beaming.

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully – by accessing or making any use of Photobox, you are agreeing to them. You also agree to our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we deal with Photobox users' personal information and privacy.
These Terms set out your rights and obligations, and those of Photobox Limited ("we" or "us"), in relation to www.photobox.co.nz (the "Site"), any Photobox application that you access (the "App") and any goods or services available through, and material of any kind accessible or relating to, the Site, the App or us (the "Services"). When we refer to "Photobox" in these Terms, we mean us, the Site, the App and/or the Services, according to the context.
You must take the time to read and understand these Terms before Photobox. By registering with Photobox, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us under these Terms. People who register for Photobox establish an "Account", and become "Users". Visitors to Photobox who do not become Users, but who nevertheless use the Site and/or download the App, affirm that they are bound by these Terms each time they access Photobox. You should be aware that these Terms may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 20 below.
If we ask you to provide some information about yourself when you register for Photobox, you must ensure that this information is accurate and current. You may keep this information updated through your Account.
Note that we are entitled to treat anything done through a User's Account, or by means of an email address, phone number or other communications method associated with that Account, as having been done by the User; it is up to the User to maintain the security of his/her Account.
When you place an order for a Product, you will need to supply us with details of a payment method, such as a credit or debit card, (your "Payment Method") and other personal details so that we may process the order for you. If you elect to store a Payment Method with Photobox, that Payment Method – with some of its details masked, for security reasons – will automatically be used; you may, however, be required to provide certain information (such as, but not limited to, a CV2 card security number) in order to proceed with using that stored Payment Method. In the event that you supply or attempt to use an invalid Payment Method, or a Payment Method which has lapsed, an order made using that Payment Method will fail. If we suspect that your Payment Method belongs to someone else or is one which you are not entitled to use, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account at any time.
The same person may not register more than one Account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any Account which we reasonably suspect of infringing this requirement.
Important: You must ensure that the email address we hold for you is kept up-to-date and that you have full access to it – we will be sending you important messages there. So if you change email address, then you must change it on your Account. Should you provide an invalid email address or an email address that belongs to someone else, PhotoBox may terminate your Account at any time without notice.
You should not register as a User if you are under 13 years of age.
Photobox provides Users with the facility to upload and store digital photographic images (each an "Image"), and to access those Images through the User's Account. All Images must meet our Image specifications, which may be changed by us from time to time.
For further guidance and information on uploading Images please visit our FAQs.
Photobox also offers Users the ability to order:
and we refer to those prints, products and services as our "Products".
As Photobox evolves and changes over time, we may add Products or remove Products from our Services. Clause 6 contains the terms of purchase for Products. It is the responsibility of Users to have sufficient web, app and device usage skills to make use of our Services.
Although we incur cost in providing you with the facility to store and access your Images and other User Content with Photobox (your "Image Storage"), we don't charge you for Image Storage. However, we reserve the right to introduce a policy under which we may withdraw your Image Storage if (a) you have not purchased a personalised Product from us through your Account at least once in any given twelve month period, (b) we have notified you by email of the fact, and of our intention to withdraw your Image Storage unless you purchase a personalised Product, and (c) you have not purchased a personalised Product from us within 30 days of that emailed notification. We will notify Users by email if and when we are to commence enforcing this policy.
Photobox allows you to access your Images through your Account. However, please note that:
We strive to retain Images that are of sufficient quality for inclusion in personalised Products, but some loss and modification of detail may be apparent under close examination;
Note that we may send you emails which include your Images, or to create examples of personalised Products which may be of interest to you: by uploading Images, you consent to us doing these things with those Images.
Photobox allows you to share your Images with others (your "Guests") by allowing them to have access to your Images. This sharing can be effected by means we make available from time to time, such as by email to Guests, by sharing on the web or through social media. By sharing Images with Guests:
We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of Guests.
You must not share or allow access to any of your Images in return for payment or for any other commercial purpose.
If you delete Images from your Account, we will promptly remove the Images from the "album" view in your Account, but the Images will not be completely erased from our systems; "deep" links which lead directly to the relevant Images may continue to provide access to those Images. Initially we will apply a grace period of at least one month before completely erasing deleted Images from our systems: this grace period is applied in case we are requested by you to recover the Images or if we are asked by a relevant third party to recover them. Once the grace period is ended, we will check if the Images are in use on our systems, as part of a personalised Product or in some other way. If the Images are in use, we will send you an email explaining that the Images are in use and how you can release them to allow them to be erased from our systems. For more information on our Image deletion policies and practices, please contact our customer services team.
You are advised to keep back-ups of all of your User Content, including backup copies of Images. We do not undertake or guarantee to keep your Images and other User Content indefinitely, and we will not be responsible for the loss of, deletion or corruption of Images or any User Content. We do not keep back-up copies of Images and other User Content; we have no liability to you or any User if Images or other User Content become lost or corrupted as a result of any cause (including human error, software or hardware failure, failures of telecommunications or internet services, or events beyond our control).
If we actively decide that we are to cease hosting Images or other User Content, we will give you reasonable advance notice (of at least three months' duration) to permit you to make alternative arrangements.
Images and other material (including textual annotations to and comments on Images) uploaded, posted, contributed, distributed, communicated, transmitted or linked-to by a User on, through or in connection with Photobox are treated as "User Content" for the purposes of these Terms. Users must have the right to deal with their User Content in the manner provided by our Services. You must not upload User Content, or otherwise deal with User Content through Photobox, if you do not have the right to do so. Each User shall ensure that his/her User Content does not:
The above are our Content Rules.
Although we prohibit the uploading of Images and other User Content which infringes our Content Rules, we cannot control and do not monitor or pre-screen the use of our Site and App. It is possible that Images or other User Content may be accessible through our Site and App which contravenes our Content Rules. We are not responsible for such Images or User Content, but if you become aware of any such Images or User Content on our Site or App please contact us here.
We may without notice delete any Image or other User Content which appears to breach our Content Rules, or prevent any use of Services (including purchase of Products) which includes any such Image or User Content.
A contract between a User and Photobox for the purchase of a Product is created as follows:
Note that Photobox may reject an order in certain circumstances, namely:
If your order is rejected, we will contact you to confirm this and reverse the payment you have made for that order.
You have the right to cancel your contract for the purchase of a non-personalised Product, provided you notify us of the cancellation no longer than 14 days after the day following the day on which the Product is delivered. You must return the unused non-personalised Product to us within 14 days of notifying us of the cancellation, and must pay the cost of returning the Product to our nominated address. We will refund the purchase price you have paid for the Product and its standard delivery charges (but not any expedited, tracked or other special delivery charges you may have chosen to pay) within 14 days of its return. However, if the value of the Product has been reduced by any handling of it beyond what is necessary to check whether the Product is as expected, we may deduct an amount to reflect that reduction in value from the sum we refund to you. Please follow any returns procedure for non-personalised Products which we specify from time to time. Please note that the right to cancel a contract and return Products does not apply to any personalised Products – although you do have the right to reject any Product which is faulty or not as described in our specifications. However, for orders of personalised Products made from the Site (but not through the App) we generally allow a 30 minute period during which you can amend your order. That 30 minutes runs from the appearance of the "Thank you for your order" screen on the Site at the end of the order process; if you wish to avail of this, you must click on the "Amend my order" button on that screen and complete the amendment process within the 30 minute period.
You must ensure that you comply with the laws that apply to you and your use of Photobox, including as to User Content, the Images that may be viewed and the Products that may be bought through Photobox. That use may be prohibited or restricted in various jurisdictions.
You may choose to cancel your Account at any time here You may be asked to provide further proof that you are the holder of the Account. Further, we are entitled to lapse an Account if its User has not logged in to the Account for two years or more. If your Account is terminated because you have breached this Agreement (including a breach of our Content Rules), we may prohibit you from establishing another Account. Where an Account is cancelled, lapses or is terminated, we are entitled to close the Account and entitled (but not obliged) to delete all Images and other User Content associated with that Account. You will nevertheless remain responsible for performing your obligations under these Terms, and the rights granted to us under these Terms (including in Clause 9) shall not be terminated as a result.

We reserve the right at any time and without notice (a) to suspend or terminate your ability to access Photobox, (b) your use of all of part of the Services, (c) to remove from access via Photobox any User Content associated with a User or his/her Account, (d) to warn Users and other users of Photobox against interacting with a particular User, and/or (e) to take technical and legal steps to stop any Users from using Photobox if they appear to us to be in breach of any provision of these Terms.

We, our affiliates or third parties with which we contract may offer new, updated or additional services through Photobox from time to time. Your use of those services will be governed by these Terms but may also be subject to additional terms of use, which you must comply with. Provided that those terms are notified to you on Photobox in an appropriate manner (as determined by us in our reasonable discretion) when you agree to take those services, any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms governing those services will amount to a breach of these Terms.
We reserve the right to withdraw or modify all or part of the Services or Photobox where we have legal or commercial reasons to do so. There may be times when the operation of Photobox is adversely affected, or becomes inaccessible, as a result of technical difficulties experienced by Photobox, on the Internet or other communications networks, or other matters that are beyond our control. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to Photobox or any of the material that appears on it. If we are conducting a period of planned unavailability of the Services, we will inform Users of this by a notice that appears on one or more pages of Photobox. For security or other reasons, we may require you to change your password or other information which facilitates access to Photobox; however, we will never ask you for your password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and any additional identifying information.
We use reasonable care and skill to provide Photobox in accordance with our specifications for Photobox but:
We shall have no obligation, duty or liability whatsoever in contract, tort (including negligence, breach of statutory duty and any other tort) or otherwise, save as expressly provided in these Terms. Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, nor our contractual obligations in respect of Products we agree to supply following our acceptance of your order in accordance with Clause 6. We, our agents, directors, officers, shareholders, employees and subcontractors will not be liable to you or anyone else, whether in contract, tort (including negligence, breach of statutory duty or other tort) or otherwise:
howsoever caused or arising. Except as expressly stated elsewhere in these Terms, all representations, warranties, conditions and other terms, whether express or implied (by common law, statute, collaterally or otherwise) are hereby excluded, except in the case of fraud, or where such exclusion is not permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, Photobox will not have liability to you or any other person in respect of User Content. We will not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations under these Terms caused by matters beyond our reasonable control. The provisions of this Clause 16 shall survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
You agree to indemnify Photobox, its agents, directors, officers, shareholders, employees and subcontractors against all liabilities, claims and expenses that may arise out of or in connection with any:
We reserve the right to assign these Terms, and to assign or subcontract any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms, but will not do so in such a way as to reduce any guarantees you are given under these Terms. You may not without the written consent of Photobox assign or dispose of these Terms or any of your rights and obligations under it.
These Terms are intended to contain your entire agreement with us relating to your use of and access to Photobox; we believe them to be fair and reasonable. They replace all earlier agreements and understandings with you relating to Photobox.
We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time, and post the new version on Photobox. The new version of these Terms will take effect:

At the horse show, Scamper misbehaves. He bucks when he is supposed to canter. In costume class it rains on Scamper's costume. Now Scamper is even more diry! We try to scrub it out with a wet brush. It doesn't come out. Will Scamper win the blue? Find out more about Scamper and the horse show.
My favorite character is Scamper because he is funny. Whenever he was washed, he would get dirty again by rolling around in the dirt. I liked the illustrations because they were done in colored pencil and the characters were traced in black marker so that they stood out in the background. This book made me wonder how hard competition with horses was because they can buck up in the air to make the rider lose points. It might be scary to do this because you never know what could happen.
I recommend this book for people who like horses and competition because it has heart and adventure in the ring.

Think Bladerunner in the tropics...
Be seduced, amazed, and shocked by one of the world's greatest and strangest nations. Past, present, and future Brazil, with all its color, passion, and shifting realities, come together in a novel that is part SF, part history, part mystery, and entirely enthralling.
Three separate stories follow three main characters:
Edson is a self-made talent impresario one step up from the slums in a near future São Paulo of astonishing riches and poverty. A chance encounter draws Edson into the dangerous world of illegal quantum computing, but where can you run in a total surveillance society where every move, face, and centavo is constantly tracked?
Marcelina is an ambitious Rio TV producer looking for that big reality TV hit to make her name. When her hot idea leads her on the track of a disgraced World Cup soccer goalkeeper, she becomes enmeshed in an ancient conspiracy that threatens not just her life, but her very soul.
Father Luis is a Jesuit missionary sent into the maelstrom of 18th-century Brazil to locate and punish a rogue priest who has strayed beyond the articles of his faith and set up a vast empire in the hinterland. In the company of a French geographer and spy, what he finds in the backwaters of the Amazon tries both his faith and the nature of reality itself to the breaking point.
Three characters, three stories, three Brazils, all linked together across time, space, and reality in a hugely ambitious story that will challenge the way you think about everything.
"One of the most interesting and accomplished science fiction writers of this latter-day era, indeed maybe the most interesting and accomplished, and certainly the most culturally and musically sophisticated, the Frank Herbert, William Gibson, or arguably even Thomas Pynchon of the early 21st Century."

The victory of faith
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." 1 John 5:4
suggested further reading: Matthew 4:1–11
Faith helps Christians to overcome the world. It always does it homoeopathically. You say, "That is a singular idea." So it may be. The principle is that "like cures like." So does faith overcome the world by curing like with like. How does faith trample upon the fear of the world? By the fear of God, "Now," says the world, "if you do not do this I will take away your life. If you do not bow down before my false god, you shall be put in yonder burning fiery furnace." "But," says the man of faith, "I fear him who can destroy both body and soul in hell. True, I may dread you, but I have a greater fear than that. I fear lest I should displease God; I tremble lest I should offend my Sovereign." So the one fear counterbalances the other. How does faith overthrow the world's hopes? "There," says the world, "I will give you this, I will give you that, if you will be my disciple. There is a hope for you; you shall be rich, you shall be great." But, faith says, "I have a hope laid up in heaven; a hope which fadeth not away, eternal, incorrupt, a golden hope, a crown of life;" and the hope of glory overcomes all the hopes of the world. "Ah!" says the world, "Why not follow the example of your fellows?" "Because," says faith, "I will follow the example of Christ." If the world puts one example before us, faith puts another. "Oh, follow the example of such an one; he is wise, and great, and good," says the world. Says faith, "I will follow Christ; he is the wisest, the greatest, and the best." It overcomes example by example; "Well," says the world, "since you will not be conquered by all this, come, I will love you; you shall be my friend." Faith says, "He that is the friend of this world, cannot be the friend of God. God loves me."
for meditation: Faith can say to society, self, Satan and sin, "Anything you can give, Christ can give better" (Ephesians 2:1–8).

04 Dec 2010
(HONG KONG) The 2010 Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme came to a successful conclusion last night with 16 cadets honoured at a special event organised by the airline.
The programme, launched five years ago, is an educational initiative jointly organised by Dragonair and the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps. It consists of an eight-month training programme for young people aged 18 to 23 who have an interest in pursuing a career in the aviation industry. Each participant is guided by a Dragonair pilot mentor as they build a strong foundation of aviation knowledge through lectures, training sessions, briefings, and tours of aviation facilities hosted by supporting organisations.
Officiating at the graduation ceremony were Director General of Civil Aviation Norman Lo, Dragonair Chief Executive Officer James Tong, and Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps Commanding Officer Group Captain Jones Wong. Among those attending the dinner were the cadet graduates, the Dragonair pilots who mentored them through the programme, programme alumni, and representatives from the various supporting organisations.
Addressing the cadets at the ceremony, Mr Norman Lo said: "The continuous success for Hong Kong to maintain its aviation hub status depends on the future supply of a competent workforce. I am very grateful that Dragonair has contributed significantly to such development by providing the Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme for the youth of Hong Kong."
In his own address, James Tong said the Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme is a key initiative under Dragonair's corporate social responsibility banner, demonstrating the airline's strong commitment to the local community. Over the past five years, a total of 66 cadets have successfully completed the programme and a number of them have already embarked on aviation careers - some joining Dragonair as professional pilots.
"This programme offers young Hong Kong people an invaluable opportunity to cultivate an enthusiasm for aviation and get one step closer to making their aviation dreams come true," Mr Tong added. "We are looking into further expanding the programme so that more young people can benefit, and we expect to announce more details early next year."
Group Captain Jones Wong said: "The Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme is now a sustainable development and within this relatively short time a number of young people who graduated from the programme are now actually serving in the aviation industry. I am sure that as time goes by when other alumni finish their university education they will likewise select aviation as their first choice for career."
Mr Tong thanked all the Dragonair pilots who gave up their personal time to take up the role of mentors. He also expressed his appreciation to all the aviation-related organisations whose ongoing support has helped to ensure the programme's success: Airport Authority Hong Kong, Aviation Security Co Ltd, the Civil Aviation Department, the Government Flying Service, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Ltd, Hong Kong Airport Services Ltd, the Airport Meteorological Office of the Hong Kong Observatory, and the programme co-organiser, the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps.

Learn more about Government Pensions
A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. Of the 500,000 people receiving pensions in 2015 47% of the wealthier recipients received reduced pensions and 18% lost access to all of their pension payments. 34% of lower income pensioners received an increase in their pension of $30 a fortnight. The pensioners who lost their payments were deemed to have at least $823,000 in assets (this did not include the value of a home). See recent government pensions news

October is National Pork Month and a great time to power up your plate with pork. The high quality of protein in pork may help you feel fuller longer, provide you with an excellent source of many B vitamins for energy and may even help you lose weight.
For a healthy and balanced diet, choose lean cuts of pork. To identify lean cuts of pork at the grocery store, look for the word "loin" on the label, such as pork tenderloin or loin chop. Pork tenderloin is just as lean as a skinless chicken breast. An analysis by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found there are six cuts of pork that are considered either extra lean or lean by labeling standards (less than 10g of fat, 4.5g saturated fat, and 95 mg of cholesterol per serving). These include pork tenderloin, pork boneless top loin chop, pork top loin roast, pork center loin chop, pork sirloin roast and pork rib chop.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that the safe end-point for cooking pork is now 145 degrees F (lowered from 160 degrees F). At 145 degrees F, the pork will be a little pink in color, but is safe to eat. Since today's pork is leaner than ever, the lower cooking temperature results in a juicier, more flavorful meat. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking temperature.
Pork is a versatile product that can easily be incorporated into all your meals. Try these simple ideas and remember to choose lean cuts of protein:
At breakfast:
n Make your own healthy breakfast sandwich at home. Start with a light whole wheat English muffin and top with an egg, Canadian bacon (more lean than regular bacon) and low-fat cheese.
n Scramble together eggs, Canadian bacon and veggies and place on a whole wheat tortilla. Serve with your favorite salsa.
n Try Stick-With-You Sunrise Muffins (recipe below).
At lunch:
n Substitute pork for chicken in your favorite homemade chicken noodle soup recipe, or substitute pork for beef in your traditional chili recipe.
n Top romaine lettuce, spinach or kale with thinly sliced pork tenderloin, black beans, pineapple and one of your favorite citrus fruits.
nFill a whole wheat wrap with lean pork, avocado, red onion and diced green chiles.
At dinner:
n Stir-fry cubed pork loin with your favorite vegetables and serve with quinoa.
n Consider lean pork as a pizza topping; use a whole wheat pizza crust and top with lots of vegetables and 2 percent shredded cheese.
n Make stuffed peppers using 96%-lean ground pork.
Get your day started off with a powerful punch of protein from pork with these simple and delicious muffins:
Stick-With-You Sunrise Muffins
All you need:
olive oil spray
6 tablespoons minced green onion
9 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 ounces baby spinach leaves
8 large eggs and 4 large egg whites
3/4 cup skim milk
24 slices Canadian bacon
4 ounces grated reduced-fat crumbled feta cheese
All You Do:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange rack in middle. Spray muffin pan with olive oil spray.
2. Spray olive oil in a large frying pan and heat to medium. Add onion and bell pepper; season well with freshly ground black pepper and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until spinach is well wilted, about 2 minutes.
3. In a bowl, scramble eggs and egg whites and mix with skim milk.
4. Place 2 Canadian bacon slices in the bottom of each muffin cup to line it and top with vegetable mixture
5. Divide eggs into muffin cups and divide feta cheese evenly among the cups.
6. Put muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes.

Serving size: 2 muffins
Serves: 6

The left often plays the race card and usually they are crying wolf when they do. The latest example of this is by Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who on the floor of Congress said in part:
"I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one. Read between the lines," she continued. "What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?"
So let me understand this. What did then Senator Obama say about raising the debt ceiling when George W. Bush was President?
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." – Senator Obama
I guess Senator Obama was behaving in a racist manner. I mean according to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee that is why everyone is against Obama. The only reason he doesn't get "respectful treatment" is because of his skin color. So when the NY Times ran article after article bashing President Bush, was that "respectful treatment?" When Senator Harry Reid called Bush the worst President ever, was that "respectful treatment?"
The left refuses to admit that the first black man to be elected to the highest office in our land has been an abysmal failure. Their desperation is beginning to show and the closer we get to the 2012 elections and Obama is forced to run on his record, then the kid gloves will come off. This is, in all likelihood going to be the nastiest Presidential election in our lifetime.

and thus you have my Imperial Barleywine.Fred
Quote from: bonjour on May 29, 2010, 03:57:04 AMand thus you have my Imperial Barleywine.FredIs that a session beer?
To add to this conversation, on another thread I read someone attempting to brew an Imperial Pilsner. I wondered about the Imperial and thought, isn't that just a Bond Bock, or a Helles. I have never heard of an Imperial Pilsner, is this just a fancy term used to stimulate curiosity?
I think I may just brew an Imperial Mild.
I have heard a couple of "'Imperial Milds" lately and laugh at the oxymoron that it is.
Quote from: mnstorm99 on June 03, 2010, 11:19:34 AMI have heard a couple of "'Imperial Milds" lately and laugh at the oxymoron that it is.Other than the fact that the term "Imperial" itself has become something of a cliche these days, the fact is that historically the term "mild" had nothing whatsoever to do with the strength of the brew (and according to more than one researcher, some of the original 'milds' didn't even have reduced hop rates). "Mild" meant only that the beer wasn't tart from extended age.

Message From the Rector
As Rector of Mount Saint Mary's Seminary of the West, I want to welcome you to the seminary's website. At Mount Saint Mary's Seminary, we want to form priests who know Jesus Christ personally, who think with the mind of the Church, and who love from the heart of the Church.
We desire to form men for the priesthood who are both men of prayer and men filled with zeal for the pastoral and sacramental work of Christ's Church. Contemplative ministers of the demanding work of salvation — this is what we pray for and work toward in our Formation Program.
