Publishers Chase Quake MMO, Offers Rejected by idDuring an interview with Shacknews, id Software president John Carmack revealed that the company has previously turned down publisher proposals to develop a massive multiplayer version of its shooter series Quake.
Saying that id had passed on several offers of "good money" to develop a Quake MMO, Carmack added that the company would not be attempting a similar project anytime soon.
"id has no interest in MMO development," said Carmack, who added that while he is familiar with the technology, he is also "fully cognizant" of the challenges and risks of creating a game in the genre.
id Software is currently dabbling in web-based online gaming with its upcoming Quake III Arena port Quake Live. In an interview with Shacknews last month, Carmack said development of the game required a "significant effort" for id due to the company's relative inexperience with internet databases.
"We did not have the experience in website development, database management, and all of that web world type stuff," said Carmack on developing Quake Live. "And honestly, we underestimated the challenge involved in that."

text: Just thought I would share because I'm cautiously excited-- excuse the mega-long single paragraph post, APA won't let me put in spaces.... I saw a post on FB a week or so ago about using stainless steel deodorant bar in place of regular deodorant/antiperspirant (was it Midge that posted it? Or Amanda?). This was the bar that was posted: http://www.amazon.com/De-Odor-Works-...+deodorant+bar. I was intrigued. I've tried many natural deodorants over the years, and haven't found anything that works. I always end up going back to traditional antiperspirant/deodorants. And I hate it. But I'm always going to try something new when it comes along because I really do want to stop using the aluminum and paraben laced crap. So I ordered a stainless steel bar, not the one in the link because sweet mother of pearl- it's $30! Instead I ordered the $7 that you're supposed to keep to use at your kitchen sink: http://www.amazon.com/Amco-318402-Ru...f=pd_sim_hpc_1 I was -and maybe still am- skeptical about whether or not this will work. They say it works to remove odors like onions and garlic from your hands, but will it stop your pits from stinking before the stink even starts? My bar came a few days ago, and so far, so good! I bathed before bed, and after I got out of the tub I wet my underarms, wet the bar, and rubbed it against my underarm. I repeated it several times on each side as the water dried rather quickly, then I dried the area well with a towel. Then I applied a little bit of a lotion bar I made with equal parts cocoa butter, coconut oil, and beeswax. I figured that might work as a little bit of an antiperspirant. The next morning I woke up- no stink. No smell at all beyond a little bit of the lotion bar I had applied. Good. Carried on with our usual day- a trip to the farm, then my sister and niece came over with their girls and were here for 7+ hours. Went to bed last night without a bath because I was exhausted after chasing around four girls 4 and under, but I did a sniff-test and I still didn't stink! Woke up this morning after a long night of not very much sleep cuddled up next to a little heater I call Emme, and my clothes were drenched in sweat. But I still DON'T stink! How is this even possible? Even using chemical laced crap, I would begin to smell ripe by now, 1 1/2 days after a bath. I do have to say it's been cooler than usual here the last few days, so I don't know if the stainless steel bar will work when things warm up here, or even in the 110*+ summers, but I'm willing to keep giving this a shot!

Early in the last century, guitar music emerged as the new sound when the first electric guitar became the solution to more volume for bigger crowds.
The blues, jazz, country and eventually rock'n roll gained popularity when radio stations made local musicians famous and guitar bands household names with their innovative beats and catchy sounds.
Join The Party
One of my all time favorite things to do was to control the record player and act as DJ when throwing a party.
That was when long play vinyl records were the standard. We had to place each LP on a turntable and drop the needle on the song we wanted to hear.
Sure it took some effort to focus on it with a drink in hand and smoke in the air, but I wanted my guests to hear my favorite songs.
I would play one or two off of each album and keep a bunch of records lined up in front of the stereo. Those days are gone, but I can give you the next best thing… our list of favorite guitarists on video, sent to your email inbox. Join now –>

Back in The Day
Attitudes on social issues were changing in the free world and guitar music played a small hand in that change by influencing the younger generation. The music was new and exciting and was a form of rebellion. Music can tie a person to a time and place depending on circumstances the first time you hear a new song. It leaves an emotional imprint of sorts.
Our love affair with cars in the 50's and beyond was tied to music because we loved to cruise with the radio on and that made those moments memorable. Society was changing back then and we were a part of that change.
Guitar Music Lives On
We enjoy the now, anticipate the future and respect guitar musicians of the past. We share our passion for guitars with you by revealing rare insights and secrets of famous guitarists here on our site.
If you feel the same way, there's a growing body of work here about the history of guitars and what's happening in the industry today.
Check out our "Legends Tab" in the menu above for insights and historical facts about some of the greatest guitar players of all time. Read through some of our personal memories of hearing a new song on the radio for the first time or grooving to some rad tunes at a house party.
Some of the most amazing musicians of all time came to life on the radio once the electric guitar became popular, and they had the power to blaze a trail in our minds, leaving permanent memory bytes to experience like a flashback when you hear "that song" years later.
Come back often as we continue to write about guitar legends from the past.

April 18 I went to my nephews first communion and had to ask my sil for a tampon. That makes me about 10 days late. Unfruckingbelievable.
It's the stress.
April 18 I went to my nephews first communion and had to ask my sil for a tampon. That makes me about 10 days late. Unfruckingbelievable.
It's the stress.
Stacy, you gave me some good tips to mention to Bobbie. My only fear is that if she does feel like she's gay, I don't want her thinking I'm trying to talk her out of it. But teenage years are such a confusing time, and she is always afraid of new things...like riding a bicycle. Jessica learned way before Bobbie did because Bobbie was just so afraid of it. She's like that with everything. I imagine sex wouldn't be much different in how she approaches new or different things.
That web site looks awesome. It's funny that it's simply named secularhomeschool. It's nice to know there are some who homeschool and actually teach real science.
Bridget, it very well could be the stress. Are you going to poas to be sure? I think I would just to put my mind at rest.
I was actually just having a conversation pretty similar to this with my friend from my phlebotomy class that I have been hanging out with alot recently. We went to the bar for a drink last night while my mom had the girls at dinner with some people from church.
She said she knew she was a lesbian from the time she was 12 or so, but still dated and had sex with 3 guys ("to be sure she really, really, REALLY hated it" lol) because that was what she was "supposed" to do...
Then she also made a comment about how penises are ugly... and I laughed and said Yup... they really aren't the prettiest things in the world.

I confess I found out last night that the hospital here hired one of the girls from my phlebotomy class to work in the lab....
I confess it REALLY irks me, because said girl did not FINISH the class, and she REALLY sucks at drawing blood.... She missed on our instructor who had CRATERS of scars on her arms to show where to put the needle... and she missed on another girl who's veins are like half an inch across, WITHOUT a tourniquet...
I'm bi and it took me forever to figure out my orientation. It just takes a while for some people. She has plenty of time to figure it all out.
It's pretty isolated being a queer teen. Does she have any openly gay friends she can talk to? Any books? Are there any queer youth groups in your area? You could also tell her to check out afterellen.com - it has very active forums with lots of young people on them. Autostraddle.com is another pretty popular lesbian website. It's mostly pop-culture stuff - nothing too sleazy.
Hope that helps!
I know I posted in here that DH used to drink. The thing that really got me was how he lied about everything surrounding it hoping he could hide his drinking. He stopped drinking, and he stopped lying about drinking.
One of the things we've talked about with him being in the guard is the fact that he's around young guys in their 20's all the time and most of them drink. I worried he would be more likely to drink again, and he said he isn't even tempted by it and he's made it clear to them that he doesn't drink.
Yesterday morning he called me and said he might not be able to call me that night because he would be working (he's had night training missions before and let me know in advance he couldn't call, but this time he didn't phrase it that way and it sounded a little odd). I didn't really think anything of it, but then he called me this morning and said he was a designated driver for the guys last night and hated it, didn't want to do it again, and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Oh, and he lent some money to some guy he doesn't know very well that he says will be paid back tomorrow. Okay -- sounds like he wasn't drinking, and I'm glad there was someone sober to drive so everyone was safe. BUT ... he lied to me about why he wasn't going to be able to call! He said he was going to be working! Which is just what he used to do when he was drinking. He would say he had to work and then go out, and he did have a job where it was just plausible enough to where I couldn't always be sure ahead of time if he was drinking or working. And even if he wasn't drinking (which I don't believe he was, but honestly he's 2000 miles away and I can't know for sure) the lying is alcohol related. Again. I REALLY don't want to go down this road again, and with him so far away it's not like I can check on him.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'm sorry Mandy. It must be so hard to deal with that worry and not even be able to check on him.
He just called again for the second time to say he's lonely and he misses me.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'm pregnant.
BRIDGET! Omg.
omg Bridget!!!!
to you too Mandy. Rich's drinking is an issue too, and I don't know how I'd cope in your situation. I don't know how to cope in my own, actually.
Janeen, you are a weirdo. But a good one. I confess I like some, but if I have to go watch strippers, male or female, I'd chose female. Strange penises are icky to me. I don't care to see them on tv either.
Mandy where in FL is your DH??
Holy schmoly Bridget!!!
Mandy- That is such a horrible feeling. I know it all too well. I hope you're wrong.
I'm wigging out you guys. All I know at this point is that I have to keep it under wraps. My mom is not doing well. She checked into hospice care yesterday and nothing is better yet. She is suffering so much right now it's killing me. Tomorrow my brothers and I have to sit down with her, by her request, and write down the details of her funeral. She has very specific requests. It's such a dreaded conversation.
My family is not ready for this news. My mom will never meet this baby.
And it's no secret that dbf and I are in not in a good place. I don't know how or when I will tell him. So I am basically an emotional basket case right now. All over the place. I do have one consistent thought that keeps waving it's little hand above all the others...
A baby
Bridget a lot of big stuff happening in you universe these days. Babies are kind of magical - their needs can be overwhelming but they are simple and uncomplicated. For a problem, that is about the happiest problem I can think of.
Mandy - I'm sorry that you are feeling worried about your dh. That must be so hard.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I have been meaning to ask you, though, with the state of the AZ economy and now that he's a member of the FLNG I'm considering moving there when he gets back if job prospects are any good. Can you give me any insight?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh, and about penises ... I agree they aren't pretty but they do have their charm...
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh, and can I just brag about my nephew for a moment? I shared a video on FB of him playing the bass. He's 11 and only started playing a year ago. He's awesome, if I do say so myself. If you have me on FB, listen and tell me how wonderful he is. My ego needs it.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
See Bridget, if you'd have avoided those ugly penises... okay okay okay I'm sorry trying to interject some humor... CONGRATULATIONS!
I know, not the best timing. DBF is a tool and it's going to be so hard to follow this road with your mom knowing she'll never meet this grandbaby. But... if not now, when? You're a wonderful mom and I KNOW you've wanted another baby. So it is.
And I have to admit this little pang of happiness that you're going to have a baby that's close to Gus's age.
Woah, Bridget! I had a feeling you'd be pregnant since you said you were 10 days late!!!! Congratulations! You can do it! Come join us and revive the Knocked up heathens thread!
Thank you everyone so much for your kind and supportive words. I don't know what I'd do without you! I feel very isolated right now with no one to talk to. Whenever dbf calls I want to tell him but if I do and he loses his poker tournament he'll say it's because he couldn't focus. I know him and he always has to have something to blame when he fails.
I'm all over the place emotionally. So much to contend with right now. So much.
But a baby is a joy and a blessing no matter what and that is the only thing I know for sure right now.
And Stacy, I know. Those **** penises.


text: Benefit Bella Bamba Boxed Powder ($28.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a brightened medium pink with pale gold shimmer-sheen. It's fairly pigmented and can easily be used as an intense blusher, but it's soft and fine enough in texture to be used as a sheer color on cheeks when blended out. I want to say it's like a mix of Coralista and Sugarbomb but distinctly pink, not really a coral at all.

People are going to be like that, irrational and make absolutely no sense in the meanness towards others. You shouldn't not bring your dogs out in public just because of that man. It's quite clear he was out of line and must have had something else going on and was redirecting. Responsible dog owners need to get out there and show their dogs off so people who might be afraid or unsure of dogs see positive images.

I'm having a bit of a crisis of thought. I am a trainer/rescuer/foster home for multiple dog rescue groups in my area. I have recently begun looking at the whole system of foster care differently and it's leading me to change my perception of things. I still think a foster home is a better environment than a cold crowded shelter, even one that tries very hard to be more inviting and has a great volunteer staff. I am starting to be concerned with the attachment issues that happen in a foster home setting. Both on the dog and the humans part. I am wondering what kind of effect this has on the dog to go from its' original home to a foster home or even multiple foster homes, being uprooted after bonding each time and then finally to an adoptive home. What kind of behavior issues are we setting the dog and new family up to deal with? There are certainly dogs that are much easier going and can take the changes but what about the ones that need the extra care to learn to trust humans again. Once they do then we ship them off to strangers? I am a big fan of Sarah Kalnajs and she advocates one, not fostering your favorite breed and two, not including the foster in your daily family life. I see benefits to both paths and can argue for both, just wondering what other people are thinking on this subject. I'm finding it more and more distressing feeling like I am abandoning these dogs that come to me needing help, because we bond and then they are gone again.

I think that the benefits certainly outweigh the risks in fostering over kennel for dogs looking for new homes. However, I could see how there might be some dogs that might be exceptions, I think it would be super rare though, they are so resilient. I think the biggest emotional issue would be with the people.

We have a rescue that came to us from a foster home, after being given up by two families before that. I can see your point about attachment issues. Our poor girl was only ten months old and ours was her fourth home. She had bonded in just one week with the foster mom, so it was difficult for her. In addition, the foster family had let her sleep on their bed. This was an issue at first because we don't let her sleep on the bed (she is a large dog); she has a very nice cushy bed of her own near ours, as do our other two dogs. Having some limitations for a dog being fostered makes a lot of sense because you don't know what the rules will be at their new home. Foster families provide a huge service and we are forever grateful to all who do such wonderful work.

Thanks everyone. I do have rules for all fosters in my house. They are crate trained and their crates are not in our bedroom where our family dog has his crate and sleeps at night. Other than that they are part of the goings on of our family. I do agree that fosters and rescue groups need to educate adopters of the potential for a lengthy process in getting acclimated to a new situation. Thanks for your input!

Our Misty was fostered through a couple of homes. She's always been a joy to us but we noticed that she didn't bond for a long time--then, suddenly, about six months into our new "relationship" she started bonding. Friends have experienced similar time for bonding.
I am so thankful Misty went into dog rescue, because if she hadn't she would have almost certainly been euthanized (overburdened system, kennel cough and other health issues). I think foster homes and breed rescues play a very important part in saving these animals--the good far outweighs the harm. If a dog has been well socialized while in that situation, I think most will do fine, but it's up to foster/rescue homes to prepare an adoptive family for the time it may take for bonding.

As someone who has fostered many animals, but for the record 12 dogs, I'll say that this post hits close to home, and factored heavily into our ultimate adoption of number 12. I have traditionally fostered dogs who had missed out on important socialization or who had been traumatized to the point of extreme distrust of phobias. While the issue of their attachment to myself and my family was a concern, I feel that the way we decided to run things was what made these fosters (and subsequent adoptions!) a success. I am lucky enough to only do local adoptions, and I always made sure my fosters had a MINIMUM of 3 meetings with the new family, including one at their home. We tried to phase the dogs in that way, and 11 out of 11 were successful! While the risk of them bonding to us was a problem, in most cases we were teaching these dogs to accept new people - any people, and I think we were something of a practice run for them. Our last dog, now, the one we kept, was where the system fell apart. Her issues stemmed from repeat surrender (5 times, we're her 8th home), and I feel that ultimately, she probably should not have been a foster dog - to us, 'foster' is sugar-coating for a temporary home that will give her away. It's great for us, who understand the concept, but to the dog, what's different between failed adoption and successful fostering? Not a lot. We felt that we were ready to make the step to permanent, and that she could not mentally go through another surrender intact. I think that fostering, ultimately, is wonderful, but that there should be some impartial oversight and screening in to which dogs are candidates and which will be further harmed by the breaking of a close bond. I also like your consideration to the toll on the foster parent - which is not addressed enough. I'm very glad you brought this up, and that people are thinking about it! Sometimes, I fear that our good intentions run the risk of getting the better of us ...

I have an adorable black 16 lb Pekingese. I recently got his hair cut into a lion cut thinking he will be cooler since the weather is warming up. His coat gets so hot in the sun. Now I hear that I should've kept his hair longer and he'd be cooler. What is the right thing to do? I love his hair shorter because it grows so fast and he seems so happy! Am i hurting him at all??? Thanks!!!

Hi, I didn't see if anyone had responded to you so I thought I would jump in. I have been a dog groomer for 17+ years. We have always recommended that you do not shave a double coated dog. I double coated dog is one that has a soft undercoat and courser outer coat such Golden Retrievers, Samoyed dogs, Labs, etc. A Pekingese also falls into this category. The coat naturally insulates from the heat as well as the cold. In the summer it actually works to hold cooler air against the skin while protecting it from sunburn and such. Sometimes, with repeated shavings the outer coat will not grow back the same and eventually might not grow back at all. Having said that, it is possible that your dog might remain unaffected. These are just risks that you are taking. It is up to you if you choose to continue shaving your dog. I do agree that they look adorable in the haircut and some people do continue, knowing the risks. The best thing to do is brush him regularly and have him bathed and brushed out professionally every couple of months to keep that undercoat from building up too much. I hope this is helpful to you!

Dogs with heavy coats should not be shaved down or extremely short for hot weather. Their coats act as insulation to keep them warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. It also acts as a sunscreen. Sometimes dogs with shaved coats or cut too short can begin to have skin allergies. They have dense long coats for a reason, especially Pekingese. I've had two in my past. I presently have a Shih tzu with a very thick coat and have her trimmed in a puppy coat that is about 1-1/2" long. I won't go any shorter than that. Let your Peke's fur grow and only keep it trimmed for neatness. They require regular grooming to avoid mats. Also, brachysephalic dogs (ones with short snouts) have trouble breathing so avoid taking them out on hot days - they do better in air conditioning and Pekes also don't do well on long walks. They need only a little exercise. I had my Pekes groomed every 4 weeks. Nails need trimming, ears need cleaning and coats need cleaning and brushing and mats removed. Always a good idea to put a lubricant like puralube from vet in their eyes right before grooming. They have sensitive bulgy eyes that can be prone to damage and ulcerations.

An Idea In Response to So Many Off-Leash Threads: I've loved reading all the threads about leashed/unleashed dogs. I live in a city, and am lucky enough to have access to a dog-designed back yard which is basically a private dog park. My personal feeling is that dogs benefit by being off leash sometimes. However, public dog parks are risky at best - we all know the risks, I don't think I need to go in to them. Breaking leash laws in leash-only areas I feel is just bad form and gives dog owners a bad name - even if your dog is the best thing ever. It shows a disregard for laws and ordinances that, however much we dislike them, are there for a reason. Add to that the fact that some dogs just are not good with other dogs, or are not good with strange dogs, making a dog park impossible for you ... what can you do besides move or give up your dog?
As a city dweller, I have foregone a car and instead use ZipCar - anyone familiar with them? A carshare service that, for a $50 fee a year provides you with a magnetized card that allows you access to a full service car parked in the city at a time you register (registration can be online or by phone). The fee and an $8 hourly charge makes sure the cars are clean, maintained, insured and full of gas. Is it just me, or could this process be applied to dog parks? I have no business savvy and have no idea how to bring this up other than this excellent thread full of talented dog-minded folk. Imagine, urban areas with modest designated park areas, accessed by a card-controlled door. Annual and hourly fees go to providing clean-up services for the area. Registrants provide dog vacc and/or license info rather than drivers license, and scheduling of use of park can be done online or by phone ... I feel like, as someone with a dog who cannot handle a park but loves a romp, I would love and use this service were it available. Any thoughts?

Interesting idea and good points!
I am a city dweller as well (and have no yard and a very active dog..). I would love to have a space to let her run. I have always wished there were individual dog runs around here so those of us with less friendly/older dogs or who just want to throw a ball around could use them. I think in places like NYC they have them. Even if you could go with a few other (known) dogs. Again, it could be some sort of system like you suggested.
I always feel like telling people: Letting your dog offleash is a PRIVILEGE and not a RIGHT. Use the spaces designated, make sure your dog is well trained and don't abuse this privilege.

I was invited tonight for a special tasting of different wines from the Galil Mountains and Golan Heights Wineries and was quite impressed. Following, my notes:
GHW, Yarden Blanc de Blancs 2007: Light gold with a rich mousse and sharp bubbles. On the nose, fresh ripe green apples, notes of lemon custard and fresh-baked brioche. Medium to full-bodied with on the palate a crisp and fine mousse that streaks across the tongue with beautifully bracing acidity along with fresh almonds, lemon zest, juicy tangerines and a touch of butterscotchy ripe apple lingering on the long, satisfying finish. I very much liked to loved all the vintages of this wine but this one is, IMHO, the best one so far. Totally agree with Raccah's A- to A.
GMW, Yiron 2005: I've not had this wine for almost 2 years until tonight. This was quite a great bottle, at its very peak but indeed, as reported by a few people here recently it seems to be about to fall off the cliff soon although it's still up there for now and it's always nice to enjoy one of my old-time favorites and one of the milestones in my wine tasting experience and education. Clean dark garnet towards purple with on the nose ripe cherries, blackberries and cassis with notes of cigar box. Full-bodied with on the palate much of the same flavors as on the nose together with a long plush finish with notes of spicy licorice and toasted oak as well as integrated tannins and a hint of bitterness. There was still some good acidity, although I know - I know, not Benyo's acidity...
GMW, Yiron Syrah 2005: Still dark shiny, almost electric royal purple with on the nose dark ripe plums, saddle leather and ripe blue and blackberries with a hint of freshly cracked pepper. Full-bodied with intense, deeply extracted fruit in the shape of blackberries and sweet yet not over-ripely sweet blueberries, soft, integrated tannins along notes of fresh leather, bittersweet chocolate and Mediterranean spices on the long, velvety finish. Outstanding.
GHW, Yarden Merlot 2003: What a nice surprise! Dark garnet with purple reflections, ripe blackberries, cherries, redcurrants and lovely perfumed Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied, the fruit is intact and smooth, showing also sweet blackberries, redcurrants and cherries along with Mediterranean herbs and still nice acid with notes of vanilla lingering on the long finish.
GHW, Yarden Merlot 2005, Magnum: Youthful dark purple with ripe raspberries and blackberries along Mediterranean herbs on the nose as well as cigar tobacco. Full-bodied with on the palate concentrated fruit showing ripe raspberries, blackberries, ripe plums, spicy vanilla and toasted oak with near-sweet
tannins rising on the long, mouth-filling finish.
GHW, Yarden Merlot Kela Vineyard 2008: Bright garnet towards purple with on the nose ripe raspberries, roasted Mediterranean herbs and hints of leather. Full-bodied and with again multiple layers of concentrated ripe fruit including plums, raspberries, spicy roasted meat and dark chocolate with mouth-coating, searing tannins on the long finish. First time here, well-done!
GHW, Yarden Syrah 2007, Magnum: Here I was very happy! I must have had a (reg. size) bottle of this wine a few months as the wine was then overwhelmingly sweet and disjointed to a point that it was unbearable (I very rarely publish my scores but then scored it a 78...). Thank G-d, nothing in common with that nice magnum bottle from which I tasted tonight. Dark royal purple with on the nose smoked meat, blackberries and black pepper. Full-bodied with on the palate black cherries, blue and slightly over-ripened blackberries with hints of candied violets and milk chocolate rounding out an almost creamy yet tannic long finish with bright acidity. Yum.
GHW, Yarden Syrah 2009: I first tasted this wine 2 months ago with Dave Raccah at one of Israel's best restaurants (for its sake, please don't ask me the name). Dark, almost inky purple with on the nose ripe blueberries and blackberries along with notes of fresh leather and pepper. Full-bodied with much of the same on the palate alongside notes of licorice and dark chocolate on the long finish with very good acid and lush tannins gently coating the mouth. No overripe fruit here and it's true that at first there's some sort of a hole on the finish leaving you with a bit of perplexity, however as the wine develops in the glass most of that hole is being filled up and I find it very enjoyable.
GHW, Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Magnum: Dark cherry red with with sweet red cherries and notes of kirsch and cassis on the nose. Full-bodied, with crushed, concentrated sweet red and black currants along with red cherries,juicy plums, toasted wood, milk chocolate-covered cherries and spices lingering with mouth-coating tannins on the long, mouth-filling and juicy finish.
GHW, Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, Double Magnum: What a nose! Dark, intense red cherry garnet with on the nose ripe plums and fresh cassis along with cherries and chocolate. Full-bodied with on the palate juicy cherries, blackberries, spicy-sweet cedar wood, plums, roasted herbs and a hint of green olives on the long, plush finish. Well, this giant of a bottle has kept the wine quite youthful and it was delightful.
GHW, Yarden Noble Semillon Botrytis 2005: Beautiful gold with on the nose honeysuckle and orchids, dried apricots, caramelized almonds and sweet citrus fruit as well as hint of vanilla. Full-bodied and concentrated with on the palate unctuous creamy vanilla and orange rind as well as honey, a nice spicy botrytis funkiness with sugar coated nuts and dried mangoes on the long, layered and seemingly endless finish. I was happy to eat some roquefort and parmigiano cheese which was a heavenly match with the wine to top off the tasting.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- In one year, 371 children in the Columbus school district were held down, physically removed from a class or put in closet-like rooms to calm down about 1,800 times, according to a newly released state review of the district's records.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/12g8VeX) that the new information about how often, where and why Columbus staff members have used physical means to try to control children with disabilities offers insight into the nature of the children's behavioral problems and how workers try to manage them.
The district previously refused to release the figures, saying they were private.
The new numbers are the result of a state review in response to a complaint from a group called Disability Rights Ohio, filed with the Ohio Department of Education in November.
Investigators sought to learn whether the district broke federal law by denying an adequate education to disabled students. Because no child spent what amounted to 10 school days in seclusion, Columbus was cleared. The state reviewed district records from November 2011 to November 2012 but didn't observe in classrooms or interview parents, students or teachers.
"It really shows a district, in many places, that is out of control," said Sue Tobin, the chief legal counsel for Disability Rights Ohio.
She said she found it troubling that the investigators found seclusion or restraint appropriate if records noted that students were dangerous or being physically violent.
"They took things on face value," Tobin said.
Christine Cline, the lead complaint investigator, said the state must take staff members at their word and that it's not her role to judge whether they made the right decisions.
"I don't know that anybody should second-guess," she said. "As an educator and mom, you never want to see restraint or seclusion. But there are times when, to protect other children or staff, it is the only option."
At Beatty Park Elementary School, which works only with children with behavior-related disabilities, district reports show that all 113 students had either been restrained or secluded during a one-year period.
The secluded children were put in one of four seclusion rooms a total of 862 times, with some of them screaming or crying for long periods, and bothering other students and staff members. Others hit, kicked, spit, tried to bite or threw things. One child was forcibly moved after refusing to come in from recess.
Twelve children at Binns Elementary were physically restrained or made to go to the "calm-down room" a total of 119 times. Sixteen children at Watkins were restrained a total of 119 times. Each school has classrooms that serve students with severe disabilities and emotional disturbances.
At Binns, some of the students' behavioral problems were so intense that they no longer are able to attend school and are getting instruction at home.
The district's incident reports didn't include two instances of student abuse that occurred at Beatty Park in March. Both involved aides who were fired for physically harming students in seclusion rooms and failing to tell anyone.
Cline said they wouldn't be appropriate to include in the type of investigation she was conducting.
Joe Ryan, an assistant professor at Clemson University who has studied seclusion, said educators who use seclusion and restraint must ask themselves, "Was it really necessary? Was there a true physical danger? Had staffers tried to calm a student before secluding him?"
"If a third-grader says, 'I'm going to kill you,' do you really take that as a threat? What is the potential for that being carried out?" Ryan asked. "The definition of insanity is if you keep doing the same intervention and getting the same results. If you keep doing it, who's the slow learner here? It's not the kid.
Cline said it appeared that Columbus employees were asking those questions.
