Whiskey: A Travelogue
By M.J. Stephey
Tuesday, Jun. 09, 2009

There are Star Trek diehards, baseball fanatics and Cat Fancy subscribers — and then there are whiskey connoisseurs. Take the guy who, in 2005, spent more than $70,000 on a single bottle of Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky — one of 12 bottles in the world — and then proceeded to consume it, in one sitting, with a few friends and an English bartender. It was this very story that inspired food blogger Kate Hopkins to trek across the globe, from a 200-year-old distillery in Scotland to Maker's Mark House and Lounge in Kentucky, for her first book, 99 Drams of Whiskey. TIME spoke with Hopkins about different brands' personality types (for the record, Bushmills White Label is "the Julia Roberts of the whiskey world"), why drinking water with whiskey is key and whether "Mr. Disposable Income" got his money's worth for that $70,000. (See pictures of whiskey-making.)

You initially balked at the idea of learning how to properly taste and describe whiskey. How did you go from that to describing brands like High Wine Whiskey as "the rebel no one wants you to date."
There's a certain amount of hesitation some people have to trying to understand what they're consuming, whether it's ice cream or whiskey. By personalizing it in a way that is atypical of how most reviewers describe whiskey, I think it's more approachable. So when I say Maker's Mark is like the genius who decided to become an auto mechanic for the rest of his life, I think people understand what that means, rather than saying, "It has hints of vanilla with undertones of molasses."
You visited a distillery in Kentucky called Buffalo Trace, which takes a rather unique style to making whiskey.
Buffalo Trace has what they call an "experimental" line, and what they do is they try a little bit of everything to see what kind of taste variations they can get. They do all sorts of things there, they use rice in their mash, they use different ages, different kinds of barrels. The one I had was aged in a cabernet cask. There are a great many people who love whiskey who take themselves very seriously. And the ironic part of that is that a lot of the people who sell whiskey, they're very carefree. They just want to enjoy themselves.

Why are there so few distilleries trying to reinvent the drink?
From my own personal observation, it's that the larger companies, the Pernod-Ricards of the world, are slow to react because they have a safe base. They make a lot of money, so why challenge that? The other aspect is that whiskey, as a whole, is seen as a very traditional drink. So if you do something innovative you're going against the grain, if you pardon the pun. (See reviews of 50 American wines.)
Your book also notes how whiskey labels are like historic artifacts. Canadian Club's history, for example, is closely tied with the Prohibition and Al Capone.
One of the things that Canadian Club is realizing now is the fact that as they get further away from the Prohibition era, and those ties to gangsters, they can use that now as a marketing tool. Part of that is this rebellious nature of whiskey — there are more tall tales of whiskey than you'll see in wine or beer combined, I'm willing to bet. They want to make it larger than life.
What surprised you most about whiskey's history?
The amount of history we've lost after Prohibition and World War II. A lot of the companies were bought or moved, many of them went out of business and they didn't think to maintain the heritage of these distilleries. Whiskey was a vital component of the pioneer era; it was used as currency because you couldn't get coins to certain parts of the territories, so they had to find the most valuable product that everyone could obtain, and whiskey filled that void very nicely. If you made whiskey, you could keep your family fed.
Which brings me to my next question, about the man who inspired you to write this book. You refer to his as "Mr. Disposable Income." After researching this book, did your perception of him change?
I couldn't fathom why someone would pay that much money for a single bottle. It was akin to buying a rare Picasso, and then taking out of its frame and putting it on your college dorm wall. What I found out later is the gentleman was celebrating, he had just made a lot of money on stocks. And I thought that was great because, clearly, it's a god-awful amount of money to spend.

So what does your liquor cabinet look like?
I can tell you right now I have 63 varieties of whiskey. Those were acquired over the course of "research." I had a little over 100 drinks on the trip. A lot of spitting out, unfortunately.
What's the proper way to drink whiskey?
One, you have to have some measure of water, whether it's just a capful or a one-to-one ratio. It lessens the alcohol and brings out the flavors. Every whiskey professional that I've been in contact with added some measure of water. People who just drink it straight are showing off that they can drink alcohol straight. And remember: getting drunk dulls the senses, so if you want to taste whiskey, getting drunk is not the way to do it. It's certainly a nice side effect, though.

Slain Kansas Abortion Provider's Clinic to Close
By AP / ROXANA HEGEMAN Tuesday, Jun. 09, 2009

(WICHITA, Kan.) — The family of slain abortion provider George Tiller said Tuesday that his Wichita clinic will be "permanently closed," effective immediately.
In a statement released by Tiller's attorneys, his family said it is ceasing operation of Women's Health Care Services Inc. and any involvement by family members in any other similar clinic. (Read "Tiller's Murder: The Logic of Extremism on Abortion".)
"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's health care needs have been met because of his dedication and service," the family said.
Tiller was shot to death May 31 while serving as an usher at the Lutheran church in Wichita that he regularly attended. Scott Roeder is being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in Tiller's death.
Tiller's family said it will honor his memory through private charitable activities.
Family members said they wanted to assure Tiller's previous patients that the privacy of their medical histories and patient records will remain "as fiercely protected now and in the future" as they were during Tiller's lifetime.

Stress and Exhaustion May Improve SAT Scores
By Jeffrey Kluger Tuesday, Jun. 09, 2009

Of the many factors that contribute to poor performance on standardized tests like the SAT, nerves and exhaustion, surprisingly, may not rank very high. In fact, according to a new paper published in Journal of Experimental Psychology, a little anxiety — not to mention fatigue — might actually be a very good thing.
The study was conducted by psychology professors Phillip Ackerman and Ruth Kanfer of Georgia Tech. They recruited 239 college freshman in the Atlanta area, each of whom agreed to take one of three different versions of the SAT reasoning test given on three consecutive Saturday mornings. The first test would take three-and-a-half hours, the second four-and-a-half, and the last a whopping five-and-a-half. To boost the stress level in the students — who had already taken the SAT in the past and gotten into college — Ackerman and Kanfer offered a cash bonus to any volunteers who beat their high-school score.
Before the test began on each of the three Saturdays, the students filled out a questionnaire that asked them about their fatigue level, mood and confidence. They completed the questionnaire again at a break in the middle of the test and once more at the end. Together, all of these provided a sort of fever chart of the students' energy and anxiety throughout the experience.
When the researchers scored the results, it came as no surprise that volunteers' fatigue and stress rose steadily as the test got longer. What was unexpected was their corresponding performance: as the length of the test increased, so did the students' scores. The average score on the three-and-a-half hour test was 1,209 out of 1,600. On the four-and-a-half-hour version it was 1,222; on the five-and-a-half-hour test it was 1,237. Virtually all of the students followed that pattern.
"The range of the scores was from about 800 to 1,600," says Ackerman. "[But] within the study, lower-scoring examinees were not more or less affected by longer test lengths than higher-scoring examinees."
Certainly, the subjects' increasing familiarity with the test may have helped account for the improvement; this is just what happens in the real world, after all, when students take the SAT multiple times in an attempt to boost their scores. But in the real world, the test doesn't keep getting longer; here it did — and yet the scores marched higher all the same. What the researchers believe explains the improvement is fatigue — or more precisely, what the fatigue represents. A feeling of exhaustion is often a stand-in for anxiety. Most students — particularly comparatively high achievers who have already gotten into college — learn to use the stress that accompanies a test as a prod to action and concentration. The experts call the phenomenon "achievement motivation," or a kind of competitive energy spurt.
"One possibility," Ackerman says, "is that more students respond to feelings of fatigue by increasing rather than decreasing their efforts." This, however, could reveal a flaw in the study. By limiting the sample group to college freshman, the researchers did not get a look at an entire category of kids: those who took the SAT in high school, did poorly, and never went on with their education. There's no way of knowing whether achievement motivation was absent in those students or whether they redoubled their efforts too, but got low scores for other reasons.
Another concern raised by the work is the fact that the College Board sponsored it. The College Board is, of course, also the sponsor of the SAT. The study's positive results are likely to be welcomed by the Board, which added a writing section to the SAT in 2005, extending the test from its previous three-hour length to three hours and 45 minutes. The move elicited criticism from educators and parents, who said the test had gotten too long to be a fair assessment of an exhaustible student's true abilities. It is not uncommon for commercial groups to bankroll research that bears directly on their business; pharmaceutical companies fund drug trials all the time, for example. No matter how rigorously the research is conducted, however, the risk always exists that researchers' objectivity may be tainted by their backers' agenda. But Ackerman insists this is not a concern with his and Kanfer's work. The data from the study, he says, remained the property of Georgia Tech, not the College Board, and the two groups signed a contract in advance in which the school retained the rights to publish the results no matter what.
So if the study is to be believed and students do perfectly well in a test that runs five-plus hours, what is the practical limit? Six? Seven? Twelve? We may never know. "Testing beyond 5.5 to six hours is not practical," says Ackerman, "because examinees would need a break of significant time to eat. It's an open question whether eight or more hours with a lunch break would result in poorer performance." For now, high school students dreading the SAT probably don't have to worry that the test is going to get longer. But it's not likely to get any shorter either.

小组讨论（issue131)
依清影：主体 是三段，第一段承认艺术可以间接表达一些艺术家的想法，第二段是说艺术家为了不同的目的创作，他们表达的也可能是主流观点，第三段是说不是每个人都懂艺术的内涵，他们可能寻求别的方式来表达想法  
芊芊：观点不错  但好像没体现the ideas and impulses of society …… 我用的例子是国歌 表达了人民大众的建立新中国的动力
me: 思路 艺术往往表达个人的非官方的观点；表达民众真实的意愿与生活的感悟；这些非主流的但真实的情感与态度是社会发展的动力，预示着未来可能出现的社会前进的方向。
芊芊：我写的就跟这个观点差不多

关于例子不错的总结
by 米饭袜子
https://bbs.gter.net/thread-921223-2-1.html
刚主要看了个关于AW例子的帖子，写得真真真好！！

我摘了些重点，但其中有嘞地方实在木法儿再精简了，其实帖子本身已经写地简洁又明了了，太赞了！！


          例子的选择----------1、一定要选择主流的媒体，权威的刊物上面的真实的，准确的，得到证实的资料。2、不要使用道听途说甚至歪曲窜改，胡编乱造的例子。要选择重要的，有代表性的，有普遍意义的例子。3、要注意例子的时效性，一定要与你论述的问题相符合。4、选择符合题目的例子5、选择有新意的例子。
        例子的使用----------1、 翻译的准确性：一是对于你的例子不要造词而是从意义上来解释，比如说把黑哨问题表达成“soccer scandal”“referee scandal”等，二是如果造词，后面一定要紧跟着详细的解释一下，让老外能够理解。2、引用的人名，地名，书名，时间等名词一定要准确3、提出例子的时机：○1 论点前：用在文章的开头，以一个生动的例子引起读者的兴趣，或者让读者注意到例子中出现的问题，然后提出你的观点。要注意两个问题，一个就是放在开头的例子一定要吸引人而又能明显的暴露出问题，这样才能达到吸引读者的目的。另一个问题就是这样的例子一定要简洁的表达出来，不要把开头弄的太长。○2论点后论据前：适用于比较难懂，不容易论述清楚的问题（比如抽象的题目）上面。先提出你的观点，然后以一个例子引出你的论述（观点，××××，下面我们先来看一个例子，××××，从这个例子可以看出××××，因为××××，所以××××）。但是要注意，一定要举有普遍意义的例子，不然会让你后面的论述显得以偏概全。而且，例子也是要简单易懂，引人注意的，如果你论述的问题本身就很抽象，而例子又是难懂的，这样的举例方法会适得其反的。○3论据后：在你提出了论点，又用论据对论点进行了深入的分析和解释之后，提出具体的例子来深化你的论述。例子既可以直接支持论点，也可以用来证明你的论据。要将论点论据例子三者有效的结合起来达到最大的效果。
        例子的表达-----------例子的表达一定要简练而有效。1、一个例子涉及到的方面一般很多，要选择例子中最符合论点的内容来论述，其他的内容就不要面面俱到的全部提出了。比如对于SARS的例子，有关的内容很多，如果你要证明的论点是流行病能够引起严重后果的话，你只需要交代死亡人数，金钱损失，影响范围等内容就可以；如果你要论述的是政府不应该隐瞒信息的问题，你只需要交代中国政府对于信息的隐瞒以及导致的后果等等；如果你要证明的是当今社会需要合作的问题，你只需要交代多个国家的实验室联手研究SARS的内容，依此类推。在今天这个信息爆炸的时代，敲几个字点几下鼠标你就可以找到无数相关的内容，而千万不能为了凑字数而把你找到的内容全都写出来，一来让人分不清头绪，到底哪个支持了你的论点？二来让人对你的写作态度，（懒，不加筛选）甚至整篇文章的印象不好（凑字数，写废话）。不加选择把大段的原文照搬的既是对你自己不负责任，也是对于判卷人不尊重的行为。所以，对于例子重点内容的筛选也是一个重要的问题。2、○1一些著名的例子，已经家喻户晓了，不需要再仔细的介绍背景和人物的身份等内容，比如Watergate，Zippergate，没有必要再说，这是发生在什么国家什么年代什么历史背景下，主人公是多少多少任美国总统，这个总统以什么著称，有什么政绩等废话。○2对于关键的内容的陈述也要注意简练，不要一句话或者一个意思翻来覆去的说，能一句表达清楚的绝对不要用两句。提倡大家把例子浓缩到一两句话的长度，然后多用笔墨来分析总结。
        对于例子的分析和总结------------对于例子一定要有分析：这个反应了什么问题？这个问题和我的论点有什么关系？对于这个问题我是怎么理解的等等。1、首先是要准确的分析出来例子告诉我们的问题是什么，比如说举出了冰山融化的例子，你就要分析，例子表明的问题是全球气温上升的问题。2、然后，要把问题联系到论点，提出你的看法，比如，对于上面的例子，你可能会论述，正因为这样的现象，我们应该努力于控制温室气体的排放，然后扣到你的论点，例如支持所有国家参与签订京都议定书。
        对于多个例子的组织---------------对于一个论点你可能会举出不只一个例子。你可能会分角度分层次的举出多个例子。那么对于这些例子一定要有效的组织起来，形成一个有机的整体，而不要只是堆砌出很多事实而已。像我在最后给出的文章中所说的It is too easy simply to number them, but then our essay begins to sound like a mathematical exercise.我认为，首先，要明确例子的顺序和层次，比如说，从古到今，从大到小，从轻到重等等，或者是例子的逻辑顺序，比如你提出的一个例子是另一个例子的前提，那么就要把前提放在前面来写。然后，例子与例子之间一定要有过渡和衔接，比如说，“看完了经济领域，现在让我们看看教育领域的例子。。。”之类的语言。通过这两个步骤把所有的例子紧密的联系起来。

P.S.我自己摘再PC上的时候都有用红色标出重点的，这里MS显示不了。。。额。。。。。
嗯嗯，就是这样
FIGHTINH啊！！！！！！！！
