Google Acquires reCAPTCHA
by karlcow
ReCaptcha is a troy horse. Yes indeed it can help to improve bad digitization… but a lot better than that it is a way for Google to know what has been freshly commented on the Web. It helps Google to come back in the run for fresh information won by twitter so far.
Each time someone comments on a blog, ReCaptcha is like a ping for GoogleBot. A human just commented on this blog. Come here to index.

Scotland loses "best whisky in world" title to Japan - Times Online
by sbrothier
LIKE English wine, it has suffered from the taint of inauthenticity and has been the butt of condescending jokes. But now Japanese whisky has scotched its critics by being voted the best in the world, ahead of its Scottish rivals.
Yoichi 20-year-old, distilled on the shores of the Sea of Japan, has become the first variety produced outside Scotland to win the coveted single malt award in an international competition run by Whisky Magazine, the industry bible.

"Wall Street bomb." Aftermath of the explosion that killed dozens of people in New York's financial district on September 16, 1920, when a horse wagon loaded with dynamite and iron sash weights blew up in front of the J.P. Morgan bank at 23 Wall Street. The attack, which was attributed to Italian anarchists, was never solved.

Japan is the second biggest producer of single malt whisky in the world.
It has been taking top prizes in international tastings since 2001. At the 2008 World Whisky Awards, Japan underlined its arrival on the world scene by scooping both of the top prizes - the best single malt whisky in the world and the best blended whisky in the world.
i will work for vitamin C
by blackgoldfish
About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years.
'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.'
'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.'
I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ...
... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit.
You know, in a manner of speaking.

Bienvenue au Pays des Fées - Sainte Colombe
by Emaux
Gonny et Henri Everts-Keizer, deux Hollandais séduits par le calme et la beauté des paysages de la région, ont choisi de poser leurs valises à Sainte-Colombe, petit village de campagne blotti au sud de l'Ille et Vilaine. Par passion, ils y ont créé une brasserie artisanale, La brasserie Sainte Colombe, qui existe maintenant depuis 1996. Actuellement, nous vous proposons 3 bières : blanche, ambrée et rousse. Toutes nos bières sont des bières pur malt, non filtrées, non pasteurisées.
En un mot : authentiques !
