...more concerned with the sexual politics of its heroine (the sulkily charismatic Hao Lei). She and her sex scenes were hot stuff, but the movie's critical response was tepid. Three war movies also failed to astound: Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley, a predictable rendering of the 1920 Irish battle of Catholic peasants against the Black and Tans; Bruno Dumont's Flandres, a horrifying but uninvolving study of Belgian farmers committing atrocities in an African war; and Rachid Bouchareb's Indigènes (Days of Glory), which dramatized the valor of Algerians who fought...
When Steve Hindy and Tom Potter founded the Brooklyn Brewery in 1987, the rest of America was drowning in Bud Light and loving it. There were only 33 other microbrewers in the U.S., and few people knew or cared why a 100% malted-barley lager might taste better than the King of Beers. The pair rarely thought about getting rich. "Mostly the motivation was not going broke," Potter says. At one point, they worked in an unheated warehouse, wearing fingerless gloves while filling out invoices...
...November, a rust-colored mountain of barley looks as if it has spilt out from the silos at Moree's southern end. The barley will need to be cleared quickly, says Andrew Dahlstrom, 31, an AES worker who has spent most of his life in the town.

As well, cotton has been planted and in coming weeks, under a harsh sun, teams of casual workers, known as "chippers," will flock to the vast fields to remove weeds from the crop.

For the most part, though, Kovi's dishes are more benign: juicy sauerkraut glowing with paprika, subtle tarragon-scented fish soup and mushroom-stuffed carp, crisp roast goose and leg of veal with goose liver, kohlrabi nestled in egg barley and, for a delicate touch, "blushing tomatoes in sour cherry vinegar." Eggplant, cornmeal, strudels and the fragrant honey cake mézeskalács are all included...
Beyond hints of chocolate, barley, oats and whatever else, the bottom line is that there are better beers out there than Sam Adams and Blue Moon. Drinking better beer is neither elitist nor expensive, and it’s so much more satisfying. A six-pack of Anchor Porter will set you back just as much as a six of Sam (and, by extension, bottles of better beer in Loker should also cost the same if offered). The difference is in the care that these smaller breweries take in crafting their beers. Try one sometime. You’ll find...
