Not all the terrain of the same vineyard has the same properties. Research undertaken by Neiker-Tecnalia (the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development) confirmed that, over the same zone of cultivated land, there are plots with soils of different characteristics, a fact which gives rise to significant differences in the production of the grape and in the quality of the must. Knowing these differences enables the winegrowers to carry out zoning on their vineyards with the goal of better adapting to the needs of fertilisation, irrigation and treatment of the vine. Likewise, it enables carrying out a selective harvest, with plots producing batches of different qualities.
The research, led by doctor in Biology, Ms Olatz Unamunzaga, aimed to establish a zoning of a vineyard, according to the properties of the soil, as well as studying the productive behaviour and quality of wine. The study enables establishing a series of criteria that help to link the behaviour of a vineyard with the properties of the different soils found on the various plots of the vineyard under study.
Four types of soil
The research was carried out on a vineyard of eight hectares located in Oion (in the Basque province of Araba-Álava) and belonging to Bodegas y Viñedos Zuazo y Gastón. The researchers established a sampling of more than 190 points distributed systematically at various plots of the vineyard, spread over different topographies and orientation. Apart from the properties of the terrain and soil, different parameters related to the robustness and productivity of the vines were measured, such as the weight of the pruned wood, the production per each unit of vine, the number and weight of the bunches of grapes, the weight of the grape, and the quality of the must.
The Neiker-Tecnalia study showed that erosion processes in the soil influences the horizontal and vertical distribution of its properties and, in particular, the depth of it. The variability of the physical properties enabled identifying four types of soil: a) deposition soil, with a depth greater than 110 cm and an irregular distribution of in-depth organic material; b) argillite soil, with a depth of between 85 and 100 cm and characterised by a reddish-coloured clayey layer at 50-80 cm depth; c) limolite soil with a depth of between 50 and 100 cm and an in-depth clay content of 270-380 g per kg; and d) sandstone soil with a depth of between 25 and 80 cm and with a high content of in-depth sand (300 g per kg).
More vigorous vines on soils with greater water retention
Amongst other results, it was shown that soils with the greatest capacity for retention of water (deposition and argillite soil) were those that developed the most robust vines. Hydric availability affected the unit production of the vine and the number of grape bunches on the deposition soil, although it was observed that, after one year of high production and number of grape bunches, there was a considerable drop in these variables the following year.
The research also revealed that the best conditions for obtaining a higher degree of probable alcohol are in years where there is less hydric availability during the setting to the véraison (onset of ripening) periods (middle of June to end of July) and greater hydric availability during ageing (August-September). This effect was clearly reflected with the different types of soil.
The temperature during the month of September prior to the harvest was one of the most influencing factors on the malic acid content of the must. High temperatures favoured the combustion of malic acid and, thus, the loss of this acid. The temperature of the grape bunch was influenced by the temperature of the air and the shade afforded.
The parameter values related to the grape skin (such as the antocyanes, polyphenol index and colour intensity) were greater on the sandstone soil, with a colour intensity up to four times greater than on the other soils.
Thorough control of production
The Neiker-Tecnalia research was carried out at a vineyard complying with the handling and management rules set down by the Denominación de Origen Calificada Rioja, which determines a maximum production limit. This involves an evermore exhaustive control of the vineyard in order that the limit fixed is not passed and, in this way, balance plant development and production, with the aim of obtaining maximum quality. This balance is closely related to the specific conditions of the soil, climate, cultural practices and piping systems which, in turn, are linked with the variety of the grape.

Planning victory for holiday centre
PUBLISHED: 11:55 29 November 2012 | UPDATED: 12:41 29 November 2012
Kilmington self-catering complex wins battle to remove restricitons on the use of its recreations suite
A long-running battle to stage private functions at an East Devon holiday centre has finally been won
Stephen Littley, who runs the up-market Hills Farm self-catering complex at Kilmington, has persuded planners to lift restrictions on the use of his recreation room – the 250-seater Cranberries suite.
East Devon District Council's development management committee last week agreed to remove a condition which limited its use solely to those staying in holiday units on the site.
It means wedding receptions and private parties can now be held there, with live and amplified music also permitted under the new ruling.
The committee decision came despite earlier concerns from some residents that it could lead to excessive noise.
Kilmington Parish Council also expressed some concerns about relaxing the original conditions.
But members were told that environmental health officers had carried out tests and were satisfied noise could be restricted to a level that would not affect any neighbours.
Extended use of the suite was also supported by local ward member Cllr Iain Chubb who said it was an opportunity to create "a unique asset to benefit the local community".
He said: "The owners have a clear and coherent plan to provide a top class destination for holiday or business seminars in East Devon which will give a tremendous boost to the local economy and to the economic regeneration of the area. The facility also complements the holiday accommodation use at Hills Farm.
"The restrictions that have been placed on the buildings seem a bit draconian. The owner has invested a lot of money into restoring buildings and put a great deal of effort into his business to make a vibrant sustainable complex in a rural location that is sympathetic with its surroundings. He has taken stringent measures to ameliorate any emanation of noise and I would therefore support the lifting of the planning conditions or at least some variation to allow greater flexibility in the use of the centre for the benefit of the local economy."
Mr Littley told The Herlad he was delighted finally to have won consent to extend the use of the suite for private functions.
He said he had also now obtained a licence to hold wedding ceremonies there so, with 56 beds and a hall for the reception, he can now offer a complete package for couples.

Olympic National Forest officials have closed a popular Washington trail due to hikers' reports of menacing mountain goats, according to reports.
Stephanie Neil, recreation manager for the Hood Canal Ranger District of Olympic National Forest, told the Peninsula Daily News that in the last two weeks rangers had received a number of reports of goats coming within 10 feet of hikers on Mount Ellinor.
"Nobody has been hurt by the goats. But a number of people have felt threatened," Neil told Peninsula Daily News.
U.S. & World
Olympic National Forest wildlife biologist Kurt Aluzas told the paper that mountain goats are powerful but for the most part are not aggressive. It is possible that the threatening goats may have been protecting their young, Aluzas said.
Goat attacks in Olympic National Forest are rare, though there have been a couple of attacks and a few close encounters in the past few years, according to the Peninsula Daily News.
Violating the no-go goat order could reportedly bring a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and six months in jail.

DEAR AMY: I have been working off and on as a freelance consultant for a nonprofit organization. I work from a home office and take occasional meetings with clients.
Recently the organization hired a new director; I was working as a consultant on a project for the organization at the time. Soon after his arrival, the new director asked to have lunch with me. We went to a nearby restaurant to talk about possible projects for the future, etc.
At the end of the luncheon, as we were saying goodbye on the curb outside the restaurant, I reached my hand out to shake hands. Suddenly, he pulled me toward him and kissed me on the lips. I was so shocked that I said a weak goodbye and left him standing there. I completed my assignment feeling awkward and wondering if I wanted to work with him in the future.
This is not a decision I can make lightly as there are very few job opportunities in my area of expertise. I would appreciate your perspective on this situation. I wonder if he has a problem that should be reported to the board of trustees.
I also wonder if I am making too much of this. -- Kissed Consultant
DEAR KISSED: Addressing the question of whether you are making too much of this: Do your other clients kiss you on the lips after a business meeting? Does this director kiss male colleagues on the lips? I assume the answer to both questions is no.
There is a very common-sense boundary around business meetings, and it's not really that challenging or confusing to stay within the boundary. Physical contact after a business meeting should be confined to a handshake.
You should write a letter to the board of trustees. Explain in very simple language what happened, i.e., "At the end of our business lunch, when I extended my hand to shake his, Mr. Smith pulled me toward him and kissed me on the lips. I was shocked at the time, and upon reflection continue to be concerned about his conduct. In my experience consulting for this organization, I have always conducted myself professionally and until now have always been treated with respect."
If the board handles this well, you could expect to revive your business relationship and work with the organization in the future.
DEAR AMY: My daughter "Karen" is a pretty, young college grad who has taken a job in another state. She's met a number of other 20-somethings there, including a young man, "Tim," who she has a crush on.
Tim and some guy friends came to our town this past week for a ballgame, and they stayed with us. At one point I overheard Tim say that while he liked Karen very much, he wasn't physically attracted to her. I was shocked because I thought he had a crush on her!
Then I felt hurt because he wasn't physically attracted to her. My daughter is very pretty and looks a lot like her mother who, at almost 60, is still very attractive.
Should we tell our daughter? I am just worried sick about how Karen will take this news when she finds out that Tim's not physically attracted to her. Do people ever change their feelings regarding physical attractiveness? -- Sad Dad
DEAR DAD: Run. Run like the wind, far, far away from this issue, and repeat this after me as you run: "This is not my business. This is not my business."
You are way too invested in the lives of these young adults. You have no appropriate context for the comment you overheard. Please, do yourself a favour and unhear it.
DEAR AMY: "Annoyed Hockey Player" was upset by an extremely loud parent.
I recall a story where someone secretly videotaped an obnoxious dad at a Little League game who was always screaming and having fits. They sent it to the guy anonymously. He stopped this behaviour once he saw what a jerk he was being and that others had noticed. -- Just Sayin'
DEAR SAYIN': Several readers have suggested surreptitious taping. At the very least, a visual record would exist that might be useful (or necessary).

Twitter said it has blocked an account in Germany following a government order, the first time it has withheld content in a specific country after it announced a new policy in January.
"We announced the ability to withhold content back in Jan.," Twitter's general counsel Alex Macgillivray said in a message late Wednesday. "We're using it now for the first time re: a group deemed illegal in Germany."
Macgillivray linked in another message to a notice to Twitter on Chilling Effects from the head of police administration department in Hanover. The Sept. 25 notice asked that the Twitter account of "Besseres Hannover," an organization banned by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Lower-Saxony in Germany, should be closed, and substitute accounts should not be opened.
Twitter said in January that it had decided to give itself the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country, while keeping it available in the rest of the world.
"As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression," Twitter said in a blog post in January. "Some differ so much from our ideas that we will not be able to exist there. Others are similar but, for historical or cultural reasons, restrict certain types of content, such as France or Germany, which ban pro-Nazi content," it added.
The company promised among other things to put up an alert box that said "Tweet withheld" or "@Username withheld" when users in a country try to access a withheld message or account.
The banned group is described as an extreme right-wing organization, according to newspaper reports. Its Twitter account was still available outside Germany.

Hey Star Trek! on Voyager, Farscape, and One More Show You Won't Watch
Call us Hey Star Trek! We have always been Hey Star Trek! Even if our illustrious founder and CEO had called us something else, called us Hey You! or Lookout! Star Trek!, we would have still been Hey Star Trek! For we have always found ourselves in the position of loving Star Trek, but needing to touch it on the shoulder and say: Hey. Excuse us, but?
Or else yanking it from the street as an oncoming car was coming toward it, saying: Hey! Are you trying to get yourself killed!?
When we were a much younger company, when we were making pictures for the very awesome Make Me Dehner Dot Com, mixing sound for the first minute or so for each episode of geek fights, we had made our minds up about all sorts of things.
Amongst these things, we knew, like you, that Voyager was the weakest of the Star Trek shows. We also knew, just like many of you, that Farscape was lame and couldn't possibly be any good. We hope now, that you see where this issue is headed, gentle reader....
...and it's going to be okay. Just relax, read, listen to our proposals, and understand that the end of the world is happening in 2012. Yes, as the Mayan calendar is playing out its final year, its time for all of us to examine those truths we hold dear.
This holiday season and on through til the End of Times, we're giving each of you the opportunity to ignore a petty prejudice and embrace something new. That's what we've been up to for most of the year and it has been very, very rewarding for us.
Because Star Trek typically leads by example, Hey Star Trek! will lay out a few examples of how we did what we're asking all of you to do.

Glazed Carrots
Glazed Carrots bathed in butter, slightly salty and sweet, and hopefully not overcooked—at best they have a wonderful sugary, carrot-y flavor, and at worst they bring to mind tiny jars of baby food. But no matter what your stance on glazed carrots is, its one of those sides that just seems right on the Thanksgiving table.
I suppose that while paging through Alton Brown's Good Eats 2: The Middle Years I was looking for a glazed carrot recipe that had a little more oomph than the standard combo of butter and brown sugar. This recipe subs in ginger ale as a sweetener, and depending on which brand you choose it can lend a significant kick. I chose a super strong ginger beer, which reduced to a lovely glaze and left the carrots plenty spicy and gingery enough to wake you up. The sprinkling of chili powder adds a bit more warmth and spice, taking these carrots out of the realm of sleepy side and into the side dish spotlight.

- Yield:4
- 1 pound carrots, about 7 medium, peeled and cut 1/4 inch thick on the bias
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Heavy pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup ginger ale—go for the good stuff
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
Combine the carrots, butter, salt, and ginger ale in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Cover and bring to a simmer. Remove the lid, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, add the chili powder, and increase the heat to high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the ginger ale is reduced to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately.

It was the coldest winter in 100 years at 50 degrees below zero. Debugging himself of lice and massaging his feet to keep blood flowing became a daily routine for Pharis Greene.
It was the coldest winter in 100 years at 50 degrees below zero.
Debugging himself of lice and massaging his feet to keep blood flowing became a daily routine for Pharis Greene.
For nine days in 1950, Greene was on a death march as a prisoner of war during the Korean War.
Greene�s experiences as a POW were recently documented by his sister, Helen Greene Leigh, in her book "Sacrifices for Patriotism: A Korean POW Remembers the Forgotten War."
She started the book in 2008 and completed it last October.
"I would come over to his house every weekend and sit with him for hours. A lot of times he wouldn�t want to talk," Leigh said. "It was hard for him to remember all of that. He didn�t want to remember."
A teenage soldier
Born in Bostic, Greene was the oldest of four children. He told his mother if she had a fifth child that he would leave home. His sister Helen was born and Greene joined the Army when he was 17 in 1949.
After basic training in Fort Eustis, Va., and Fort Jackson, S.C., Greene was shipped to Japan.
Six months later, the Korean War began. Greene was sent to join the 34th Infantry Regiment, part the Army�s 24th Division.
"The (North) Koreans had tanks and new supplies from the Russians," he said. "We had leftover supplies and uniforms from World War II."
There were 11,700 Americans fighting off 70,000 North Koreans. As they tried to break through the enemy lines, an enemy rocket launcher hit the truck carrying Greene and he was blasted out of it.
"Something told me I needed to find my helmet and my rifle," he said. "As I was hiding in a ditch from the enemy, a bullet hit my gun which saved my life."
Taken as a prisoner
After the blast, Greene was taken as a prisoner of war by the North Koreans on July 20, 1950, at age 18. He was the second youngest American to be captured in the war and was a prisoner for 37 months.
"We were lined up in a firing squad three times, but for some reason they always backed down," he said.
The prisoners of war were marched for a month to Seoul, now the capital of South Korea, then carried by trains to Pyongyang in North Korea and eventually reached the town of Manpo by September.
From Oct. 31 to Nov. 9, 1950, the prisoners walked a forced death march, starting outside Manpo and heading north. They marched 125 miles over mountains and in blizzard conditions for nine days.
"Winter was coming and we were in our summer uniforms," Greene said. "We had no food or water, and when we did drink, it was out of rice paddies that had been fertilized with human waste, so everyone got diseases."
The soldiers who couldn�t keep up were shot. Twenty missionaries were on the march. One was a 78-year-old nun who was shot because she was ill. But more of the prisoners died from diseases or froze overnight.
When they woke up in the mornings, the soldiers had to debug themselves of lice. Greene massaged his feet every morning to keep the blood flowing, but other men lost toes, feet and ankles due to frostbite.
The prisoners who died overnight were disposed of and the soldiers took their clothes for more warmth.
"I got everything you can imagine: malaria, rheumatic fever, beriberi," Green said. "Your skin swells up from malnutrition and some people�s busted open."
While Greene suffered overseas, his family worried at home.
"It changed our family forever and we never got over it," Leigh said. "My sister became our mother, because mom walked the floor all night, praying. Our brother had to help out with the farm with Pharis gone."
�So happy to be an American�
The death march ended at a prison camp in Chunggang. From July to November, at least 400 of the more than 700 captured had died.
While in the camp, the prisoners were forced to do calisthenics. Greene also dealt with traitors who told lies about other soldiers to get better treatment. As punishment, he was thrown holes in the ground where daikon radishes were grown and "rats as big as cats" would try to get in.
"My life back home started to feel like a dream," he said. "Now, the war feels like a dream. If I had thought of home at the time, I wouldn�t have survived."
While at the camp, he got intestinal that would try to crawl out of his mouth at night, and he watched several of his friends die.
"Nobody has training for something like this. When you get into a situation like this, you look at immediate survival," said Greene, now 81 years old. "I got through it from a lot of prayer back home. You didn�t know what you would face each day. Every day I just looked forward to daylight."
On July 29, 1953, Greene was released after armistice agreement between North and South Korea was signed. When Greene was freed, he sent a telegram to his family that said, "I�ve never been so happy to be an American as I was today."
When he returned home to Forest City, a parade was held in his honor. Adjusting to normal life, he worked in textiles and picked up hobbies such as scuba diving and music to forget his war experiences.
"His story needs to be told. He went through hell and survived," Leigh said. "I think before we send out young people to war, they need to know what it is like."

Distracted driving crackdown planned in Connecticut
DANBURY >> The fourth and final crackdown on distracted drivers is being held in the Danbury area.
The campaign known as "Phone in One Hand. Ticket in the Other" will begin Thursday and continue until June 11. Both state and local police will be looking for people texting while driving in Danbury, Bethel, Brookfield, Monroe, Newtown, Redding and Ridgefield.
Since last June, nearly 3,500 citations for distracted driving-related violations have been handed out in the Danbury area.
Violating Connecticut's ban on texting or using a cell phone without a hands-free device while driving can cost violators between $150 and $500. Also, a recent change in state law allows such moving violations to be reported to insurance companies, possibly resulting in higher premiums for violators.

The "B2B Social Spotlight" interview series profiles B2B marketers who are putting social to work to elevate commoditized products and services.
Where do used MRI machines, PET/CT scanners and Digital X-Ray gear go as newer models come on the market? Like any other piece of used equipment, some are refurbished and sold to new owners, typically located in smaller domestic operations and developing markets all over the globe.
One of the biggest providers of pre-owned and refurbished medical imaging equipment worldwide is Block Imaging International a 75-person firm operating in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Krista Kotrla, vice president of marketing for the company, worked her way from an administrative assistant to her current post over the last decade. She sees the company more than just a sales conduit for a secondary market. The medical imaging machines get a second chance to give people a second chance.
While Block Imaging's headquarters is located in Lansing, Michigan, Krista works out of her home in Lewisville, Texas, with her husband and two kids. She's expecting her third child later this year.
When it comes to marketing Block Imaging, what did you intentionally set out to do differently and how did social media/marketing fit in?
Last summer we were in the midst of what was turning out to be a not great sales year and morale was low. I knew there were things that we could do to change our direction, but it meant involving everybody and getting people excited that we were going to aggressively pursue growth the through content marketing.
The more that I learned from seeing how businesses were starting to utilize social media for business purposes, I was just fascinated to think that those could be powerful mediums to reach more people. Knowing the expertise that our team possessed, Block Imaging could be very effective at it if we just had a better way of making it easy for our employees to participate. Not just to give them the tools, but show them how to reach out to people and help them empower and educate buyers.
What did you do?
We decided that if the company went all in together as a team instead of just a few people being responsible, we could get out ahead of the pack by leaps and bounds very quickly.
Last summer we were planning a two-day company retreat and I pitched our management team about devoting the entire time to launching this new culture of content marketing. We brought in Marcus Sheridan to lead the entire first day, where he not only explained content marketing but most importantly, helped our team catch the vision and enthusiastically buy-in to team participation. Day 2 was hands-on workshops and activities that helped everyone dive in and get their hands dirty practicing what we just learned from Marcus. We brainstormed blog titles, began developing personal brands by learning how to inject some personality into our content, as well as getting comfortable with video. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
How does Block Imaging target its social outreach?
At first, we let people blog about anything that would answer the broad range of common customer questions and supplying how-to tips on service, maintenance and trouble-shooting. The strategy now is advancing our use of HubSpot to know where the best strategic opportunities to blog about are next, based on the high volume of search traffic for a particular phrase. Knowing how difficult it is, competition wise, to rank consistently high on the first page (of Google), we build layers of information around those key word phrases and extend it to our content.
Social is about producing business outcomes, but it begins with developing relationships. What is Block doing to build dialogue?
It's been eight months now building relationships though our content. Even as early as last November, we were at our biggest tradeshow of the year and people already perceived us to be a much larger company than we really actually are and that was within one month of starting to blog every workday. We have a lot more leads coming in now and the quality of leads is remarkably different.
Through our content, we've found our web visitors have been educating themselves for weeks or months, already trust us as the source that they want to buy from, and know that we're not going to be the cheapest option but that's okay because we have already provided them value on the front end and they are confident in our expertise and capabilities.
Give me an example of how you're connecting with prospects.
You know, we have to understand what problems they are facing or what questions they are asking to even be able to serve them better and provide them better products and services. It's a big cultural shift in so many ways.
There is a random, obscure component of a C-Arm (a c-shaped mobile x-ray system used in orthopedic and surgery centers) that we taught people how to troubleshoot and identify if this part was the cause of their system boot-up problems. The manufacturer was telling one facility to just junk their entire system and upgrade to a newer $150,000.00 system. Prospects found our blog article where we showed them how to troubleshoot it. They talked to one of our engineers to confirm it and ordered what was only a $1,500.00 part to fix their system that is now back up and running versus writing the manufacturer a huge and unnecessary check.
Within three weeks, that one blog about that very obscure part and troubleshooting delivered leads of people who were ready to buy that part right away. Before then, we had no idea how many we had sold previously.
What online tools do you rely on everyday?
We work through Twitter and have mainly focused on Linked-In. It is the one other place where we find lots of people from our industry talking and participating in groups. One tactic that is particularly helpful was showing our team how to identify the key word phrases that they would want to be known for and how to build that out in their profiles so that they would start showing up in searches if people were looking in Linked-In for help.
How have your social media activities influenced the firm and its bottom line?
Let's start with traffic. Since we started team blogging last September, organic search traffic went from averaging less than 4,000 visits a month to now over 10,000 visits. And it's still growing. The team has helped author over 100 blog posts and have had 40+ team members participate in authoring blogs. We are still building momentum as we figure out how to turn this into a well-oiled blogging machine.
Culturally, we make sure to have a lot of fun celebrating milestones along the way. We announce two Inbound Marketing Super Hero awards every two weeks at the all-team meeting and describe a little bit about why each person was awarded. It is a great opportunity for recognizing people and reminding people of ways to participate/contribute, tell them what's working, and hopefully motivate late adopters.
As for sales, the volume and quality of leads has grown so much that we've hired several new sales people and we're also experiencing dramatically shorter sales cycles.
What hasn't worked using social media?
Attending Social Slam last month confirmed that we're actually doing a lot right. Overall, I'd say I wish we had done it earlier.
I also wish that I had invested sooner in developing a dedicated person to carry more weight in helping overseeing our blogging machine. One of our own employees emerged as the perfect SEO copywriter who loves writing and can take a very rough draft or even just an outline provided by a sales person or an engineer and he develops it out into a much more blog-like, informative article. He's also incredibly funny so there is some crazy weird humor injected in what would otherwise be a very information-heavy piece. I love the personality that now also comes through on many of our blog posts.
What is one thing your social followers don't know about you?
I realized Block has a purpose bigger than ourselves in what we do and knowing that the equipment we sell can help people around the world. Last summer, as I was preparing the social media pitch to our leadership team for our retreat, I found out that I had cancer in one of my abdominal muscles. I was able to have surgery within a month after they found it and they got all of it out. At the time, my baby boy was only six-months old and something about that experience helped shape my passion for our industry because it was imaging equipment that identified this tumor in the first place.
I had access to all of this equipment and great doctors and surgeons, but many people don't. What about the mom with the little six-month-old boy in Africa or some remote town in South America? As a company, we have this opportunity to try to reach more people across the globe and give this equipment a second chance at life to do what it was designed for. For me, personally, it was a second chance at life for me to kind of go through that and realize that the equipment we provide can help many more people by getting these early diagnosis. It's more than just job now… it's a mission.

Bang Tao is an 8 km long crescent shaped bay with pure white sand and rows of casuarina trees. Bangtao Beach very popular with windsurfers and hosts several international competitions each year. The main entrance to Bangtao beach is 2 km north of Surin Village and marked with large signs from the sprawling Laguna Phuket complex that takes up most of the middle of the bay. The luxury resort complex consists of The Banyan Tree Resort, The Allamanda, Dusit Laguna, and the Sheraton Grande Luguna Beach Club.

The southern end of the beach has a small fishing village and is protected from the swells, on the big surf days (over 3 metres) some nice smaller waves appear here. Towards the northern end the waves get bigger. The northern end of the beach is exposed to the winds and the shifting sand banks make the waves unpredictable, but on its day the surf can be perfect.

??? - Dude, copy & paste or not, whoever wrote this ain't never been near this beach. I lived there 7 years, and i managed to get maybe 3 decent surf sessions in my entire time there. The length is only like 50 odd meters on a good day, and you'll be lucky to find a wave much bigger than 3ft. If you want to surf in thailand, surin bay (the next over from bangtao)goes off alright on a good day. Things could be different now though, cos i haven't been back to phuket since before the tsunami. For the best surf in asia, hit Java man. G-LAND IS DOPE!

Today, biodiesel is the fastest-growing biofuel in the U.S. thanks in part to soybean checkoff-funded efforts aimed at ensuring biodiesel quality. As a result, more and more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) approve the use of biodiesel blends in their engines. Last year, the U.S. military used over 10 million gallons of biodiesel blends, and, in October 2005, the American Trucking Associations announced its endorsement of B5, a 5 percent biodiesel and 95 percent petroleum diesel blend. Dozens of school districts throughout the country also use cleaner-burning, renewable biodiesel blends. Even President Bush announced a proposal in his Jan. 31 State of the Union address that includes $150 million for additional research of biobased fuels derived from agricultural products.
To help ensure biodiesel quality, the soybean checkoff-funded National Biodiesel Board (NBB) formed the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission (NBAC), which developed and implemented a voluntary industry quality-control program known as BQ-9000. The program seeks to educate biodiesel producers and marketers on biodiesel quality standards established by NBAC. The program also seeks to boost consumer confidence to ensure continued growth and acceptance of biodiesel.
Quality standards in the BQ-9000 program are based on the American Standard for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-6751 Specification for Biodiesel Fuel (B100, 100 percent biodiesel) Blend Stock for Distillate Fuels. ASTM specifications are used to ensure the quality standards of petroleum diesel, gasoline and even ethanol. Americans rely on these specifications every day and now that same confidence can be found in biodiesel carrying the ASTM D-6751 standard.
BQ-9000 is open to all current or future producers, distributors and commercial sellers or resellers of biodiesel in B100 form or for use in blended form. Only companies that have strict quality control practices that will help ensure biodiesel meets the ASTM D-6751 specification are recognized under BQ-9000 as deserving of an Accredited Producer or Certified Marketer title.
To achieve BQ-9000 accreditation, applicants must undergo a comprehensive audit, which includes a detailed review of the applicant's quality system documentation. This audit also verifies current Environmental Protection Agency Registration and that the applicant's facilities are acceptable to uphold ASTM D-6751 specifications. Once the audit process is complete, a two-year accreditation is awarded. After the two-year period, recertification is required.
"We strongly encourage all biodiesel manufacturers to become accredited by participating in the BQ-9000 program," says NBB Chairman Darryl Brinkmann, a soybean farmer from Carlyle, IL. "This will help ensure fuel quality and the great engine performance that I and the millions of other diesel users have come to expect from biodiesel."
Biodiesel has increased performance characteristics over petroleum-based diesel. B2 biodiesel has shown to increase engine lubricity 66 percent, which could lessen engine wear and prolong engine life. Biodiesel is also safer to store and handle. The Biodiesel Handling and Use Guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Energy provide in-depth information on biodiesel as well as a complete guide to safely handling, storing and using biodiesel. The guide also provides information on the ASTM D-6751 specifications for biodiesel.

Complete Story
Broadband Growth Slowed In 2008
By: John Eggerton, Multichannel News
The nation's 20 largest cable and telephone providers picked up more than 5.4 million net additional high-speed Internet subscribers in 2008, representing 8.7% annual growth but well off the pace of growth the two previous years, according to Leichtman Research Group.
Annual net broadband additions in 2008 were the fewest in the seven years that Leichtman has tracked the broadband industry. In 2007, broadband providers added 8.5 million subscribers, and the year before that peaked with 10.4 million net adds.
The group of 20 providers, which Leichtman estimates represents about 94% of the market, ended 2008 with 67.7 million subscribers. Cable companies held 36.9 million of those, and telcos had 30.7 million.
The top cable companies netted 59% of the broadband additions in 2008. Telcos took the lead in the fourth quarter of 2008, though, adding about 570,000 subscribers in the period vs. 460,000 for cable.
In 2008, Comcast added 1.34 million broadband subscribers, to end the year with 14.929 million. That pulled the No. 1 MSO nearly even with AT&T, which added 921,000 broadband subs for the year to stand at 15.077 million high-speed Internet subs.
The 20 providers in Leichtman's study were: Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Verizon, Cox Communications, Charter Communications, Cablevision Systems, Qwest, Mediacom, Insight, Cable One, RCN, BrightHouse Networks, Suddenlink, Embarq, Windstream, CenturyTel, Frontier, FairPoint and Cincinnati Bell.

The mitigation and conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to more useful carbon chemicals is a research topic that is at the forefront of current engineering and sustainability applications. Direct photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with water (H2O) vapor to C1-C4 hydrocarbons has significant potential in setting substantial groundwork for meeting the increasing energy demands with minimal environmental impact. Previous studies indicate that titanium dioxide (TiO2) containing materials serve as the best photocatalyst for CO2 and H2O conversion to higher-value products. An understanding of the CO2-H2O reaction mechanism over TiO2 materials allows one to increase the yield of certain products such as …

The Le Mans series is the most fun, I won a private of those once, and won Le Mans the race in a GT Corvette :-)
Fully loaded in public games right now, so will have to wait a couple of days to try the new car sets.
Is great fun.

Just lost a Le Mans 24hr which would have saved a disaster season.
It was a nightmare for both me and my teammate (female coworker) but slightly better for me.
I asked her to gamesit me for a couple of days and she complied. My races in that weekend were all wrong but hey, it happens.
Then I see the tyres settings. Wets and intermediateds inverted, and so on...
For tranquillity sake, I put back the sliders where they were and say nothing.
Now I was winning the Le Mans, never happened to me....
It starts raining and ... surprise....
Wet Tyres unchecked. I apparently had not noticed this last "gift".
Squandered a 40 sec lead and ended last.
I will not fight with her: she is now jobless (end of contract) and depressed, and people do strange things under pressure...
Sure it was her last time as my teammate anyway....
Posted 30 October 2008 - 00:34
Until now there's just one person I've allowed to sit accounting for me, and I've had no problems at all. I've done it twice as well, and just followed what the guys allowed me to do. Of course if weather changes more stuff should be done, otherwise just do the runs, save/copy setups, and take a safe strategy withouth touching any of the driver's style sliders or tyres or whatever, imHHHo.;)
Posted 30 October 2008 - 21:27
Anything vital i should know thats different?
Posted 31 October 2008 - 08:34
F1'05 and F1'08 have special qualifying

loads of others...
best of all (and i've yet to try it) the champcar v2.0 has the Indy 500!

Tough it out, do as good as you can by yourself, buy Kool tools, and copy his settings anyway.
I know that there is a system where you can fire a team mate, just do not see Batracer being important enough to get to that point. I post all my settings, I run as soon as I can, and most of my team mates have done likewise.
If the occasional jerk is a team mate, I tough it out.
Posted 31 October 2008 - 22:54
Anyway. it, I lashed out and got KT, just waiting for some championships to fill up.
Posted 22 November 2008 - 23:29
So, 2 questions.
If a race starts wet and slippery, and end up monsoon, is the 'best setup' worked off the starting conditions, or the end conditions. Obviously if i set up for wet, but it ends up monsoon, ill be off on ideal setup, but thats just luck.
But ive had races where its stayed the same throughout, and im still off. Is the list of track conditions 'linear'? Storm would be 100% conversion to wet, greasy would be about 5%, with wet and slippery around 50%? Or is it more random?
Posted 22 November 2008 - 23:42
Posted 23 November 2008 - 06:48
Thanks for the info though, Ill work off the initial conditions when converting setups.

I may was well announce it here as well: I'm planning my Ted's New Year Extravaganza already.... This Year the highlights include: AtlasF1 vs Clan Ireland! "eagle-action" eyes! Motorracing! Batracing! same Bat time, same Bat channel.
We'll kick off this epic private game on or around the 1st of Jan as everyones first new game of the year.... get you back into the Batracing ways after the withdrawl over Christmas!;)
Any suggestions for format are keenly welcomed!
Clan vs Clan
Red Flag Chaos!
Good old normal racing
Which Carset???
cheers guys,
Posted 27 November 2008 - 19:51
And I hope my Guinness helmet doesn't play the Ireland side if it becomes a clanxclan fight -- Atlasholics will nedd many Ronins to fulfill a grid, but that's what is written in my signature, anyways...;)

Hello mate,
I'm planning a private game for the new year and I'd like to cordially invite you to join me!
This will be a meeting of the mighty AtlasF1 players, Team Ireland and a few other random folks.
The game will be Indycar 2008 (as it's still new)
send me a PM if you're interested as i'll be creating the game tonight...

Blimey! I think I should explain. I've just entered an Academy-level F1 2008 game (one of the first ones available when you first join the site) and, aboard a McLaren mind you, immediately scored pole in Melbourne. The closest McLaren/Ferrari is a Ferrari down in eighth. It looks like, across the three qualifying sessions, they all hit trouble (including the searingly fast team mate who peeled off in Q3 with a mechanical problem, will start 10th and who was the one who provided me with his set-up so as to help make me so competitive in the first place... whaddaya mean, I didn't mention that before?!). It'll be interesting to see how the race develops.
That'll be goodbye to LMA Manager, then...
