Great for dogs and camping! by Japhy from Kansas on 09/01/2010. Trim: 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, Owned 3 years.
Pros: I love the heated seats and the cargo room. With the back seats down, I was able to camp in it with an inflatable mattress. I've hauled lawnmowers with it, moved large items like mattresses and furniture, and pulled trailers with no problems. Back windows roll all the way down, and the tint has held up well. The interior and paint can handle some abuse. At 160k I have small crack in the dash vent, that's it! I take a boxer pit mix to the dog park and my doors have minimal claw scratches, and the leather has held up to claws also. A good value after depreciation, especially if you are mechanically inclined and can perform basic repairs. Do not pay more than $3000 for it.
Cons: Be prepared for a hot ride. A lot of heat is generated from the SmartTrak, and the ac is a problem. I bought mine with no ac - the repair was estimated at $800 at a local shop. I had a fuel pump go out - $1500. I had to replace a pitman arm - $350. The driver mirror can create some road noise in windy conditions. The console cup holders are a bit shallow and your cup can dump on a fast turn. Washer fluid tank either has a leak or an evaporation issue, it runs out quickly. In wet or snowy conditions you might hear a whoopie cushion sound and have some slight pulsing when breaking. My mechanic said it was common with the smarttraks and not really something that needed a repair.
Overall review: I love this truck, but I would love it more if gas was under $1.00 a gallon again. An average fill up costs me $30.00 and lasts about a week around Lawrence.

How different can becoming a mum be? Find out with these weird and wonderful parenting traditions from around the world
You'd think that when it comes down to it, the experience of being pregnant, giving birth and being a mum can't be all that different wherever you live. But actually, our traditions and beliefs, superstitions and expectations surrounding pregnancy, birth and motherhood couldn't vary more widely.
Mums giving birth in Senegal don't expect their work to be over once the baby pops out. Research by Pampers and UNICEF "one pack = one vaccine" campaign has discovered that just after giving birth, a new mum here must perform what's known as a rite of jumping over a fire in four different directions before she can sit down. The midwife then holds the baby out to the mum three times before she is allowed to take him. It might sound like torture, but the tradition is believed to prevent madness.
Perhaps a more enjoyable alternative would be to give birth among the Maasai in Kenya where the other members of the tribe make a big effort to thank the new mum for going through the pains of labour. Two male sheep are killed for a huge feast and celebration - but only the women in the tribe can eat the meat. Quite right too!
Most Indonesian women do not go out of the family compound (traditionally a cluster of homes for extended family, set among beautiful gardens) or resume their regular responsibilities until the baby is 42 days old. On the 42nd day, the baby is named and a feast is held. For the first 3 nights postpartum, a Muslim Indonesian dad must not sleep; he must guard his wife and baby.
A Japanese custom states that mum and baby stay at the mum's parents for a month after leaving the hospital, or sometimes longer. The new mum stay in bed with their baby for 21 days. while friends may visit to greet the arrival and eat a celebratory meal with the family of red beans and rice, called osekihan.
In some places, like Mali in Africa, the placenta is thought to be linked to the moods and health of the baby and is often washed, dried, buried or burned by the father. In Cambodia the placenta is wrapped in a banana leaf and buried after three days and in some of South America and Korea the placenta is burned after birth to neutralise connections to the spirit world.

Review: Mafia 2
Empire Bay greets you at the main menu with a lovely cityscape, complete with a faux-Empire State Building. One of the first sights you see in the game is the majestic towers rising powerfully into the sky. As you play, those structures are always there, in the background. They seem to whisper, "You have stepped into a large world. Welcome and enjoy everything this universe has to offer you." And you believe the mysterious voices. But there's something strange going on, something off-kilter. The skyscrapers, no matter where you are in the city, are always some distance away, always across a river or adjacent to the highway you happen to be on. It almost seems as though they aren't buildings at all, but more like a mirage. "The grand city is here somewhere, right? It has to be! I can see it clearly from here." But no matter which direction you drive or how many miles you travel, there they stand, off in the distance, taunting you.
This was my experience playing Mafia 2: a game that really isn't. Oh sure it has all the trappings of an OWTPAG (for those that aren't cool enough to remember: Open World Third Person Action Game), all the little bells and whistles like earning money, safe houses to sleep in and guns to load up on. Having played open world games since they were created, a part of me kept thinking "Ok, they're still just establishing the characters and the plot. After this next mission, they have to let me save my game and screw around in this neat little 1940's New York." But as one story point led to the next, led to the next, I began to realize that the game didn't seem to want me to enjoy myself. It's almost as though I invited myself into someone's house, but my new hosts, while remaining polite and never demanding that I leave, nevertheless hussle me along in an effort to speed the process along. Mafia 2 made me feel like I was inconveniencing Mafia 2 by playing it.
Let me explain. Once I got through the intro movie detailing my entire life up until my 20's, I was thrown into World War 2-ravaged Italy. I must credit developer 2K Czech for the best use of the WW2 setting I've seen in a game: as a tutorial. I was taught how to take cover, aim, etc. Wonderful, so far so good. I finally got back home to Empire Bay to begin my life of crime. My first night home, I'm forced to stay at my mom and sister's apartment. "This is great," I thought, "they are making me sleep in my 'little boy' bed so that when I finally choose to buy my mansion at the end of the game, it will feel all the sweeter!" Of course, immediately after that, my best friend Joe let me crash on his couch. Ok cool, they were still just stringing me along.
I ran a few missions for the lower-tier mafia thugs that Joe knew. I started to notice that everything important was happening in cutscenes. In fact, the only real input I seemed to have was in driving from one cutscene to the next. Sometimes there was a chaotic gun battle thrown in for good measure, but everything seem so staged. Nothing was exciting or spur of the moment. Not that I could really react all that well if something unexpected did happen. The controls, both vehicular and on foot, were sluggish and unresponsive. The geometry of the world, while authentically designed and very pretty, was always restricting movement, another sign that the game almost groaned in lethargy from the effort of having me play it.
After running various missions for the local crime boss, I finally got to the point where, in any other OWTPAG, I would start shopping around for my own place. I had the timing right, but I was still thinking in game terms. I had yet to realize that I was really playing a movie. I didn't get any choice in the matter; my friend Joe simply decided for me that I should have my own apartment, and then bought it for me. What the hell had I been saving money for? Every enemy drops a gun so there's no need to buy those. Clothing, while great for ambiance, is purely cosmetic, and very cheap to boot. The only thing left is cars. And this is where I discovered that the game really wanted nothing to do with me.
In the year 2010, in the age of consoles with 100+ gig hard drives and terabyte large PCs, in an open world game, there is literally no manual save function in Mafia 2. The only way your progress ever, ever, gets saved is by completing the next story mission. On more than one occasion (it took me a few times to learn) I grabbed my favorite car out of the garage, drove it to an auto mechanic across the city, upgraded its engine, painted it fire engine red, changed the rims to a shiny chrome, and even customized the license plate. I then carefully (so as not to scratch the new paint job) drove it back to my garage, again across the city, and parked it. I was proud of that gem sitting in storage. Stealing some shabbier car, I drove to my next mission where, after ten more minutes of movie followed by another ten minutes of walking through action-less environments, I was killed when a gun battle finally started. The crushing problem was, I had not yet hit one of the infrequently designated checkpoint saves. Not only did I have to start the mission over, but everything I had done since the end of the last mission was gone. No fancy car, no nice paint job and no damn chrome rims!
"I see how it is Mafia 2. You just don't want me here. That's fine, I don't want to be here anyway!" I turned the game off with no small amount of frustration seething in the back of my mind. Why was this game so ardently against me playing it? The problem, of course, is that it's not a game, not in the common understanding of the word. It's a movie that, like a cautious father, lets you sit in the driver's seat of his beloved sports car and make "vroom, vroom" sounds and turn the wheel, but you don't ever actually get to drive. Make no mistake, this is your dad's sports car not yours; Mafia 2's story to tell, not yours. And every fifteen minutes or so, the game will say, "Ok, that's enough play time, daddy needs to drive somewhere important now".
One area where 2K Czech earns high marks is ambiance. Damned if they didn't nail down the perfect microcosm of 1940's-1950's New York (or at least, how I imagine it). The clothes, the cars, the buildings, the grit and grime, the music...everything, except the gameplay of course, begs you to toss your fedora on the hat rack, put your feet up, and settled into this world. But just like the mirage skyscrapers, the atmosphere only serves to taunt you while you wish for a deeper experience.
I never did find those buildings and I probably never will. To me, they will always remain the promise of what could have been. You've made yourself perfectly clear Mafia 2. I'm sorry you had to put up with me for these ten hours. No hard feelings, I guess.
p.s. Do not, under any circumstances, buy the "made man" edition for $10 extra. Two cars and two outfits, in a "game" like this, is not worth your money.

Hey guys,recently i download the game MAFIA 2 from ISOHUNT and the game runs well but there is this problem which i cannot fix.The problem is that the health keeps on decreasing until its all gone and then if i get one hit by either car accident or people hitting me the game character would die immediately.So is there any way i can solve the problem?

The action that comes with this game is so good. You have to try this game one time and you will be hooked. The creators have done such a great job with this game. Keep up the good work.
Good review. I too found that Mafia 2 doesn't deliver on any of its promise. You spend the entire game being led around by the nose, "driving from one cutscene to the next" as you said. And all this in the name of the story which, honestly, I found to be very underwhelming when compared to the first game (which I loved) or even Grand Theft Auto IV.
The characters are uninteresting at best, and annoying at worst. Vito is an idiot who never makes any decisions for himself, and Joe is like a cartoon character. I didn't feel anything for any of the characters, not even during dramatic deaths, and the ending didn't feel like a conclusion at all. Mafia 2 sacrificed a whole lot of potential fun in order to be a semi-interactive movie, and not a very good one at that.
This all makes the suggestions I heard prior to release that "Mafia 2 will blow GTA IV out of the water" seem hilarious in hindsight. There's just so much more fun to be had in that game.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I created a new MVVM light application and experience some problems with
WPF localization extension in Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
In the project i created a map called "Lang" and in that map I created "Lang.resx" and "Lang.en-US.resx". Lang.resx has acces modifier "internal" while Lang.en-US has "no code generated".
Now in the main window I put:
in the <Window> tag.
The problem is: it completely ignores the en-US design culture and only uses the resources from Lang.resx. In my App.xaml.cs I use the line "LocalizeDictionary.Instance.Culture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");" in static App(){}
to set the culture to "en-US" but when I run it, it still only uses the resources from "Lang.resx".
Any help would be appreciated, I really can't figure it out on my own. Thanks.
Hi Dovogja,
its normal that only the main file (Lang.resx) has a code generator. The other files (en-US, fr, etc.) will be linked during compilation.
Is the Resource and the Window in the same Assembly? (VisitorRegistration)
If not, please change the access modifier to public.
How does your assembly.cs looks like?
Cheers, Bernhard
Hi Bernhard,
Thank you so much for your reply, I found the solution in my AssemblyInfo.cs.
It contained the line:
[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en-US",
When I remove this everything seems to work fine, now it looks in the
Lang.en-US.resx the way i expect it to do.
Thank you for your help!
Cheers, Dovogja
Yep, I expected this line in the assembly.cs... bad default settings :)
Hope everything works now!

Angelo Esposito's story is hardly novel: Extraordinary success in Juniors, hype, a high draft pick, followed by injury, disappointment, and the journeyman's life.
As a fan of his current team I've been hoping Angelo can turn things around. By most measures it appears he is doing just that.
It's no surprise the Pittsburgh Penguins made him the #20 pick in the 2007 Draft: After two seasons with the Quebec Ramparts, Esposito had 177 points in 117 games. After two more seasons, his numbers remained impressive: 120 goals, 168 assists, 288 points, and a +77 rating in 208 games.
He was named QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2006 even though he was second in rookie scoring behind some nobody named Claude Giroux.
Less than a year after being drafted, the Penguins sent him to the Atlanta Thrashers as part of the deal to bring Marian Hossa to Pittsburgh. This put him with Atlanta's AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves. After two seasons, he was traded to the Florida Panthers, which put him with their new AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. Then in January 2012, the Rampage and the Stars swapped underachievers, sending forward Ondrej Roman to San Antonio for Esposito.
Prior to coming to Texas, Esposito's 86 AHL games were uninspired: just 5 goals and 17 assists.
However, since coming over from the Rampage, Esposito has dressed for 23 Stars games, putting up almost the same numbers in that time (4 goals, 14 assists).
Angelo got a slow start on the score sheet, putting up just three points in his first 12 games, but in those early games he was everywhere except on the score sheet, quickly winning over fans despite a lack of point production.
Since then, Esposito has been on a point-per-game pace, putting up 11 points (3 goals, 8 assists) in his last 11 games.
Not surprisingly—this being the AHL—Esposito has been doing it with a variety of line mates. He played a few games on the team's top line with Matt Fraser and Travis Morin, but in the last handful of games he's been put on different lines with two of the newest additions to the Stars, Michael Forney and Shawn Weller. In both cases, the third player on those lines was tough Stars forward and noted brawler Luke Gazdic.
Esposito's non-stop hustle and gritty play, combined with some gifted playmaking skills, have made him an instant fan favorite here in Austin.
He's an RFA at season's end. Here's to his continued good health and to hoping Dallas re-signs him this summer, because Esposito may have finally gotten his game back. And it's a keeper.

The best love letter I've ever received.
My kids love to laugh. They will go to extraordinary lengths to find things to laugh about and to get a laugh out of hubby and I. So, when I hear giggling behind closed doors, I know they're up to something. Yesterday, while driving between one after school activity and another, Little Man asked for some paper and a pen. I obliged, pleased that he wanted to write something. Its been a bumpy start with him, being way more interested in Lego and Star Wars battles than reading and writing, so this new-found interest in pens and paper is a dream come true for me. As I drove, he wrote. And giggled. And giggled. I asked what he was doing and he said, "Nothing!" followed by an explosion of giggles. Hmmmm. Intriguing. When we got home, he was out of the car like Usain Bolt and at my door, flashing his cheeky, gap-toothed grin and holding out a folded pile of papers. "What's this?", I asked, innocently? "Its a love letter for you, Mummy…", he replied, hardly containing the hysterical laughter I could see bubbling below the surface. I unfolded the package and started to read: Read the rest of this entry

Unedited puddle reflection of buildings in Amsterdam. Taken with a borrowed Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Last night it started to snow again in Amsterdam and this morning the sun is shining, creating a beautiful scenario of whiteness bathing in lovely rays of light, and if I wasn't so lazy, I would be outside right now, making a snowman and taking pictures. I think I'll just have one more coffee and then I'll go outside to play…maybe just one more cigarette too…and then one last coffee and a smoke, but then I'll go, really…OK, maybe just one more ciggie…and then I'll reallyreally go, I promise…unless I'll need another coffee first, haha :D
Enjoy the snow, enjoy the sunshine, enjoy your day, it's almost weekend again!
And if you're snowed in and lazy as well, listen to this beautiful song :)

Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
GENERIC NAME: eflornithine
BRAND NAME: Vaniqa
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Eflornithine is the first topical drug (used on the skin) for the treatment of unwanted facial and chin hair. It does not remove the hair but rather slows its growth. The cells surrounding the base of each hair (called the hair follicle) undergo rapid growth and maturation as they transform into hairs. Certain proteins called polyamines are needed for this rapid cell growth and differentiation, and the production of these polyamines depends on the activity of an enzyme, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Eflornithine is believed to block ODC, slowing the growth and differentiation of the cells within the hair follicles. Eflornithine was approved by the FDA in July 2000.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Eflornithine is available as a 30 gram tube of cream at a concentration of 13.9%.
STORAGE: Eflornithine should be stored at room temperature, 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F) and should not be frozen.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Eflornithine is used to slow hair growth on the face and chin in women ages 12 and older.
Almost 600 patients were studied who routinely had to remove facial hair at least twice weekly and had more than 5 hairs per square centimeter of skin. The re-growth of hair was evaluated 48 hours after patients shaved before, during, and at the end of treatment. The patients received either eflornithine cream or a placebo cream twice daily for 24 weeks. By the end of 24 weeks of treatment, 70% of eflornithine-treated patients had at least some reduction in the rate of hair growth compared with 41% of placebo-treated patients. Moreover, 35% of eflornithine-treated patients had a marked reduction in the rate of growth (only minimal darkening of facial skin due to re-growth of hair) compared to 9% of placebo-treated patients.
DOSING: Eflornithine should be applied in a thin layer around the affected facial areas and chin and rubbed-in thoroughly. It is applied twice daily with at least eight hours between applications or as directed by a physician. Eflornithine should not be washed away from the skin for at least eight hours after application. Cosmetics and sunscreens may be applied once the treated area has dried. Hair removal techniques such as tweezing should be continued. The hands should be washed immediately after using eflornithine.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: No studies have been done to determine if eflornithine interacts with other drugs applied to the skin.
PREGNANCY: There have been no studies of eflornithine therapy in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known if eflornithine is secreted into breast milk.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects seen with eflornithine are acne, swollen patches that are sometimes reddened and contain a buried hair (pseudofolliculitis barbae), headache, skin itching, stinging, burning, dry or tingling skin, rash, hair loss, and ingrown hairs. Less common side effects are bleeding skin, swollen lips, nausea, numbness, contact dermatitis, and herpes simplex.

NASA's move to the cloud saves $1 million a year
Summary: The CIO of NASA, Linda Cureton, says the U.S. space agency has saved almost a million dollars by moving IT infrastructure to the cloud. It has closed 20 datacenters so far.
The CIO of NASA, the U.S. space agency, said on Friday that her organization estimates that it's saved almost a million dollars over the year after it moved several of its applications to the cloud.
Linda Cureton wrote in a blog post that NASA moved some of its enterprise infrastructure to Amazon Web Services after setting out to become more efficient and improve economies of scale, integration, goal alignment, security, oversight, and accountability.
"This cloud-based model supports a wide variety of web applications and sites using an interoperable, standards-based, and secure environment while providing almost a million dollars in cost savings each year," she wrote.
That's not a decision taken lightly for a government agency.
She also shared recent cloud-based ventures for NASA:
- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uploaded 250,000 pictures of Mars onto a Microsoft Windows Azure cloud platform. The goal: engage the American people in space exploration. "The cloud can be a terrific way to reach and engage the public and support STEM activities in our schools," she wrote.
- NASA is now deploying SERVIR, which integrates satellite and ground-based data with forecast models to monitor environmental changes and improve global response to natural disasters, to a cloud-based geospatial IT infrastructure.
The agency has also been working to improve transparency into its IT operations. It has deployed centrally-managed end-user services, communications services, web services and enterprise application management and development capabilities. It also launched a central business office and working capital fund to support several major IT contracts.
All said and done, NASA has closed 20 datacenters as it consolidates and optimizes its IT operations.
There's plenty more going on, and I encourage you to read her original post. As Cureton wrote in 2011, NASA "must continue on our path to become a more outcome-focused IT organization." It looks like the agency is well on its way.

(other photogs, if you think I worded something wrong, by all means let me know so I can fix it!)
So let's dive in!
Okay, the first thing you need to learn is what a "stop" is. A stop, or f/stop, is a... 'unit' of light. It is technically a function of the relationship of the opening of the aperture and the focal length of the lens. That's as scientific as I will go for a definition. At its basic level, it is a measure of light. If you double the amount of light in an exposure, you are increasing the exposure by "a stop" or "one stop" or "one f/stop." If you halve (as in, divide by two) the amount of light in an exposure, you are decreasing the exposure by a stop. So you see, you just need to understand that it's an exponential scale, doubling light as you increase, halving it as you decrease (the amount of light).
Where cameras today complicate things is that many allow you to increase or decrease by half or third stops. The principles are the same, but avoid those half and third stops for now. I will list the standard full stop increments for aperture, shutter, and ISO:
(your lens' "iris", the opening that allows light in)
<< opening up wider, more light <--- f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 ---> closing down, less light >>
Some lenses, particularly expensive ones, will let you open up even wider, like f/1.8, f/1.4, or f/1.2. Some also let you close down more to smaller apertures like f/32, f/45, or f/64.
The smaller the number, the more light comes in to hit your sensor, because it's a fraction, see? You know that 1/2 is bigger than 1/4, right? That's how you remember. So if you are in a low-light situation, you want to "open up" your aperture to let the most light in as you can. On cheaper lenses, you may be limited to just f/3.5 on the open end.
Outside where it's bright, you'll want to "stop down" or "close" your aperture to something like f/16 or f/22, to make sure you don't overexpose. You see, since there is more light, you can use a smaller opening, just like a small fraction is 1/22.
Aperture also affects depth of field. The wider open your aperture is, the 'shallower' your depth of field is. This means less of the subject will be 'in focus' in the photo at f/2, than at f/8. This is a common effect in close up portraits or macro shots. Deep depth of field is achieved by "stopping down" or "closing" your aperture to a smaller value like f/22. This is useful for shots where you want most everything in focus, like a landscape or architecture shot.
Depth of field should only be considered after you make sure you have enough light to "play with." If your situation has low light, you are stuck with wide apertures and thus shallow depth of field, because if you "stopped down" to f/8 or f/11, it would be too dark.
Shutter speed is how quickly the shutter covering your film or sensor closes. The most important rule to remember is that for hand-held shots you will want to shoot at AT LEAST 1/60 (shutter speeds are in fractions of a second) or faster. People with steady hands can go all the way down to 1/30 (which is a slower speed), but it is risky. I have heard a general rule is to shoot no slower than 1/(focal length), so for a 200mm telephoto lens, you may want to shoot no slower than 1/200th, and for a wider lens like a 35mm, you can shoot slower at 1/30th.
Just like apertures values, cameras nowadays come with half and third stops in shutter speeds, too. I will list the standard 'full stop' shutter speeds below. Remember, each of these is either half or double the amount of light of the speeds beside it, depending on which way you go. Like 1/30 is double the light of 1/60, and 1/125 is half the light of 1/60. See? Fractions (of a second).
<< more light, slower shutter <-- 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 --> less light, faster shutter >>
Some cameras (most today) will allow slower shutter speeds slower than 1/2 a second (many allow for 30 seconds), and also for faster than 1/1000 of a second (mine will go to 1/8000). The effect of shutter speed is on motion captured. Slower shutter speeds will alow you to capture fluid motion, such as wheels spinning, water flowing, car lights trailing, etc. Slower moving subjects require slower shutter speeds to show their motion, like maybe a two second exposure of a waterfall to have it nicely smoothed out. On the flip side, fast shutter speeds like 1/250 or 1/500 can freeze actions such as human movements like jumping or running. These will have no blur. Even faster speeds like 1/1000 or 1/2000 of a second can capture water splashing or something along those lines.
As with aperture, these motion effects can only be considered once you know there is enough light to use. If you are indoors, you are not going to be able to freeze fast motion if you have to shoot at 1/30s. Just like if you are out on a sunny day, you won't be able to get motion trails from someone running since you'll have to shoot a faster shutter speed to keep from over exposing the photo.
ISO is related directly to what used to be called ASA, or film speed. ISO stands for International Standards Organization. But that's totally irrelevant.
What you need to know are the standard ISO values, and that just like aperture and shutter, they either double, or halve the amount of light in a photo. It is a function of the sensor itself, telling it how sensitive to be. There are also third and half-stop values for ISO, but like I said, you need to know the standard values. They're easier than aperture and shutter.
<< less light sensitivity, less noise <--- ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600 ---> more light sensitivity, more noise >>
So, you ever see color specs all over your photos? That is from shooting at a high ISO. In the film days, high ASA film would have lots of larger silver crystals in it and that's what you know as "film grain." High ASA film produces grainy photos, whereas high ISO sensor settings produce "noisy" photos. There is absolutely no reason at all to shoot at a higher ISO than you need to. Where there were effects gained from shooting at different shutter speeds and apertures, with ISO, the image can only get worse and degrade as you increase your ISO. Not only will you get bad noise, but you will start to lose highlight and shadow detail. What you have to figure out is what is the acceptable amount of noise in your photos, in your opinion.
Different cameras can handle noise better than others. When I shot with my Rebel XT (Canon 350D), I would never shoot anything serious over ISO 400. With my newer Canon 5D, I can shoot up to ISO 800 or higher sometimes, and not worry about it. But the 5D is one of the best cameras for dealing with noise, so I would try to stay at or below ISO 400 for most purposes. And like I said, ONLY GO HIGHER IF YOU NEED IT. If you are outside, shoot at ISO 100, or if you camera has ISO 50, use that.
You get the idea? I know that was a really brief part but if you have questions, let me know.
So, let's look at some examples of how to use all this info.
Okay, let's say you're going to be shooting outside today. It's sunny out, so you're going to go to a wildlife park or something. (come on, don't laugh! stick with me). You put your camera's ISO on 100 (of course, since you have plenty of light, right?), and you use Auto mode to get a meter reading. It says to shoot at 1/250th at f/11. Well, you see some birds flying around, and you want to "freeze" them in the air. 1/250th just isn't cutting it, the shutter needs to be faster because they're getting blurry. So, you want to up your shutter to 1/1000th of a second. Now switch to manual mode, set your aperture to f/11 like your meter said, and set your shutter to 1/1000th like you decided. Shoot. Uh oh, it's way too dark. That's because using aperture and shutter and ISO is a give and take situation. Since you gave more speed to your shutter, you went from 1/250 to 1/500 then to 1/1000. That's two stops of light you lost. Where do you get it back? Well, keep your ISO at 100 for now, since you're outside. All that's left is your aperture. So if now your picture is 2 stops too dark, you need to OPEN your aperture 2 stops wider. So 1 stop wider puts you at f/8. 2 stops puts you at f/5.6. So set your aperture to f/5.6, shutter to 1/1000, leave ISO at 100. Take the shot. It's spot on, not dark anymore! See, a 1/250 @ f/11 is the same as 1/1000 @ f/5.6. You just shifted your values down the line. Get it?
So if you want to slow your shutter way down to get a nice, smooth waterfall in that creek over there in the shade, what will you do? Well, there's a little less light here in the shade, so you up your ISO to 200 (that's not too high, it'll be fine). Okay, take a meter reading. 1/60 @ f/5.6, ISO is 200. Well, you want to slow your shutter speed to 1/2 a second to get that waterfall smooth and not "frozen" in time. Okay, so count how many stops difference that is. 1/60 to 1/30 is one stop, 1/60 to 1/15 is two stops, 1/8 is three stops, 1/60 to 1/4 is four stops, 1/60 to 1/2 is FIVE stops! Okay. So you're going to be overexposing your picture by FIVE stops right now if you just leave everything the same and change your shutter to 1/2. Five stops would be adding 2 (double), 4 (double again), 8 (double again), 16 (double again), 32(double again)-- 32 times too much light! That's going to turn out solid white if you shot it right now. So obviously, we need to lose some of that light! How? Start with your aperture. You are at f/5.6 right now. You need LESS light, so we need to CLOSE the aperture five stops down. So, one stop is f/8, two stops is f/11, three stops is f/16, four stops is f/22. Uh oh. Your lens only closes to f/22. That means you'll still be over exposing by 1 stop, which means it will be twice as bright as it needs to be.
BUT WAIT! You upped your ISO to 200 when you went into the shade, didn't you? Well, if you take that back down to ISO 100, that will give you your fifth stop of light.
So now you see that 1/60 @ f/5.6, ISO 200 is the same as 1/2 @ f/22, ISO 100. The light level will be the same. But how will the images look different? Well, since you closed your aperture from f/5.6 all the way top f/22, you will have really deep depth of field. Nearly everything will be in focus now. At f/5.6, you might have started losing focus in the background. Okay, shutter speed. That was the whole reason to change everything, right? At 1/60th, the water would have been pretty much frozen still. But now at a full half a second (1/2) shutter speed, the water has moved enough to blur smoothly. Last, you took your ISO down from 200 to 100, so you end up with less noise!
Keep in mind, that since you slowed your shutter from 1/60 to 1/2, you would obviously need to set your camera on a tripod or rock or something, because you are NOT going to be able to hand-hold a shot with a shutter of 1/2. That's too long, by a wide margin.
Hope all this helps! I'd post more examples, but I'm at work and so yeah, I should probably get back to work. Let me know if any situations arise, and I'd be glad to help. Just drop me a note or something!

NBC's The Voice wrapped up its blind auditions with a one-hour episode on Tuesday night. Adam Levine , Blake Shelton , Shakira and Usher each needed to round out his or her team with one more artist.
Each coach will mentor 12 artists in all as the hopefuls prepare for the upcoming battle rounds.
Here's a rundown of Tuesday's auditions:
First up was 49-year-old veteran musician Mark Lennon , a member of the band Venice . The group has toured and collaborated with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Nicks over the past few decades. Despite Lennon's pedigree, none of the coaches turned around for his rendition of The Beatles ' "Come Together." Adam thought it was too "clean," meaning it lacked edge.
Blake and Usher both showed interest in Jacqui Sandell , whose band has taken part in the Warped Tour. She sang Fleetwood Mac 's "Dreams." She chose Blake as her mentor.
Amber Carrington , 19, who lost her mother to breast cancer, belted out the Carrie Underwood song "Good Girl." Only Adam pressed his button. The resident country musician, Blake, said Amber nailed it and that he "hated" Adam for nabbing her.
Dustin Hatzenbuhler crooned Michael Bublé 's "Haven't Met You Yet," but it failed to make a lasting impression on any of the four coaches. Adam and Usher said it lacked "swing" and "swag." Nevertheless, Adam suggested that he might've turned around had he not filled all of his slots.
Luke Edgemon covered Bonnie Raitt 's "I Can't Make You Love Me." Shakira and Usher both made a bid for him. Usher said he had been waiting to be moved by someone like Luke. Shakira added that Luke's voice is "phenomenal." Luke joined Team Shakira.
It wasn't too difficult to guess 26-year-old Jessica Childress ' fate on the show, since Usher was the only coach by that point who'd yet to complete his roster. It took him a while, but midway through Jessica's performance of Bruno Mars ' "Marry You," Usher stood up, pressed his button, and held his arms out, as though he wanted to hug her. He eventually did embrace his newest protégé. Jessica told him that she "needed this moment" because she'd just quit her job.
The Voice kicks off its battle rounds next Monday night on NBC.

this cake* is so delicious it really does deserve more than a drive-by post but we just got back from the most awesomest vacation ever (seattle, portland, friends, food, drinks, wedding, more food, more drinks, hugs, wine, salt water soaking pool, shuffle puck, more and more and more drinks….) so we need some time to get back in the groove…or back in the kitchen…such as.
* from the wife: there is much debate over cake vs. pastry vs. all-purpose flour. though this recipe calls for cake flour i didn't want to buy a whole box just for one cake so when i saw pastry flour on the bulk aisle at whole foods i bought just enough for this recipe. after seeing the results i would guess that a good old all-purpose flour could be used with no problem as long as it is sifted and then measured properly using the spoon and sweep method. and in case you're wondering, i keep unbleached, unbromated (organic if i can afford it at the time) all-purpose flour in the pantry for all my baking needs.
chicken burgers with lemon-yogurt sauce (adapted from here)
for chicken burgers:
half bunch of green onions chopped
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
zest of 1/2 a lemon
2 egg whites
1 pound ground chicken
put all ingredients in a bowl and mix lightly until blended (clean hands work best here). form mixture into 8 rounded, flat patties. heat a small amount of oil in a large non-sitck pan over medium-high heat. place patties in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until brown. turn the heat to medium-low and put a lid on the pan. cook for an additional 5 minutes. serve with lemon-yogurt sauce and a salad of tomatoes, green peppers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper (the veggies pictured here were from our garden!)
lemon-yogurt sauce:
1 small container of plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
zest of 1/2 a lemon
juice from 1/2 a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
mix all ingredients in a bowl and serve over chicken burgers.
the husband's mother gave the wife this cheesecake recipe along with all the ingredients and a challenge - make this. a client had given her the recipe (hi, dr. rosenbluth!) and though the wife makes a mean cheesecake of her own, she couldn't help but whip it up. considering she'd never made this kind of cheesecake before (it's italian and made with ricotta cheese instead of the french or new york style, cream cheese base she's used to), it got pretty good reviews!
what do you get when you mix a few tomatoes from our garden with some leftover bread?
2 1/2 cups cubed bread
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 cup sliced shallots or red onion
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs
toast bread with a little olive oil in a 325` oven for about 10 minutes. meanwhile, toss together remaining ingredients and leave to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour. add bread, stir and enjoy.
with the addition of a few extra teaspoons of dijon, this is the most amazing asparagus recipe EVER!
there is nothing better than boiling a whole dozen eggs and turning them into devilish bites of delicious.
the wife's foolproof method for the perfect hard boiled egg is simple:
place cold eggs in a large pot. cover by about an inch with cold water. place the pot on a cold burner and turn the burner on high. when the water gets to a decent boil, turn off the burner. top the pot with a lid and set a timer for ten minutes. while the eggs sit, put a large bowl in the sink and fill the bowl with ice and a little water. when the timer sounds, fish the eggs out of the hot water and place them into the ice water. allow the eggs to sit in the ice water, adding more ice if needed, until they are completely cool. thirty minutes maybe? then drain the eggs and put them in the fridge for snacking. or start peeling for deviled eggs!
to peel eggs more easily, roll them on the counter or other hard surface until the shell is decidedly cracked. the shells will typically peel off in one or two large sheets.
there are a million and one deviled egg recipes but they all start with the yolks from split, hard boiled eggs. mix the yolks up with some seasoning and spoon them into the white halves. the filling is what makes it and the filling is really up to your taste. we like ours with lots of dijon and horseradish. you might like yours with sweet pickle relish and mayo. cumin and salsa? roasted red peppers? capers? hot sauce? go crazy!

This night shoots down her virgin like reaction to Radcliffe saying she attacked him like an animal for that Deathly Hallows kiss. And the time she was on the David Letterman show (USA) and whispered, "condom" under her breath as if it was a naughty word to describe how she asked for a rubber at Brown University which mean eraser in England but "condom" in the USA.
Basically this night was about selling herself to big time producers in town for the Baftas.
Story below from thisislondon.co.uk Feb 2011, "Dance music pumped out of the speakers until 1am, when an American master of ceremonies known as Raven O took to the stage and shouted, "Do all the drugs you want. Do all the cocaine you can. Answer every fetish. Drugs are good". 'Raven O, tattooed, semi-naked and with his hair fashioned into devil horns, 'proceeded to introduce a series of acrobats and other performers, who all used nudity and violence throughout their acts. 'The first man simulated inhaling drugs off the stomach of a scantily-clad female while the next performance featured a naked man wearing a pig mask, being set alight by two women. The cabaret varies every evening. Another woman - known only as "Laqueefa" - played the tune of a popular song using only her genitalia. One well-known man about town, Ben Douglas, attended recently and told me: 'I think you would have to have been pretty far gone to have found it erotic.' An usher told the Standard how the venue had played host to a number of celebrity parties. He said: "Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan: she sat next to him at Baftas) and Harvey Weinstein (the Hollywood American producer and Emma's #1 backer now) were here for the Baftas. It was unbelievable." 'When the main show ends at around 3.30am, a selection of guests are invited upstairs to the VIP area for what is described as a "more titillating" version of the show.'
After you read this come back and click on this link and the fact Harvey Weinstein was there this night.
All photos below from zimbio.com
But you know something? Does it look like they are kneeling down or laying down to get this picture? They are shooting down, and not up.
UPDATE QUOTE: From snitchseeker.com March 2014, "In Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, she exuded a fairly chilling pathos as a spoiled brat from Kardashian Country who repeatedly burgled Paris Hilton. That the part required her to play a sex object for the first time only added to its appeal. "In my downtown, I don't sex myself up much, " she says. "Sometimes I have a hard time convincing directors I can play more adult roles."
So that's why she wore this outfit to the box sex club and I've said this since I posted this back in 2011 so her she is clarifying.
^No this is not photo shopped. It's actually from a 2009 photo shoot.
From telegraph.co.uk Feb 2009 "Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me. I feel uncomfortable. I'd never go out in a mini-skirt. It's nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn't do that.Personally, I don't actually think it's even that sexy. What's sexy about saying, 'I'm here with my boobs out and a short skirt…have a look at everything I've got'? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."
From celebitchy.com September 2013, "Red carpets are painful: "Getting ready for an event can feel like a lot of pressure. You have to consider, 'Will people see up my skirt? If a flash goes off, can you see through this?' So I'll do a test sitting, a test standing… It's nerve-wracking.
From usmagazine.com September 2012, 'Just practically, these gowns are ridiculous. You're being photographed from every angle, so not only do you have to consider how the thing looks, but whether you're going to be able to sit in it and whether people are going to be able to see up your skirt.'
From dailytelegraph.com. Nov 7th 2010 Despite regularly dazzling on the red carpet and gracing the covers of some high-end fashion magazines – among them the Christmas edition of British Vogue – she describes her own fashion philosophy as "simple is better". I'm a less-is-more person," she says.
From topcelebrityheadlines.com June 2011, "I'm shy." From zimbio.com May 2011, "It's really hard to have a love story for me. I'm a famous actress. And I'm shy." From digitalspy.com October 2010, "Actually, I'm quite shy. I've never liked attention." From iheartwatson.net June 2011 "I still feel shy, but I feel more like I can accept it."
UPDATE: From wonderlandmagazine.com Feb 2014, "I feel like I've been given a lot of credit where it isn't due that I don't like to party. The truth is that I'm genuinely a shy, socially awkward, introverted person. At a big party, I'm like Bambie in the headlights. It's too much stimulation for me, which is why I end up going to the bathroom! I need time outs! You've seen me at parties, Derek. I get anxious. I'm terrible at small talk and I have a ridiculously short attention span."
From latimesblogs.latimes.com, "Sensing that line of inquiry would get him nowhere, Letterman changed tactics. "Do you drink at all? Do you use controlled substances?" Watson struggled to find the right answer. "We drink at 18 [in the UK]. I'm actually legal to drink here now. It's worth mentioning, I'm 21." (I'm guessing Watson has to remind people that she's not 12 anymore on a regular basis). Letterman pressed her. "What happened? Did you have a shot of something? You either did and you liked it, or you did and you didn't like it. "Watson's discomfort was palpable. "I'm dying here. Can we move on?" she begged. His target weakened, Letterman fired a direct shot. "Let me help. Have you ever had anything to drink?" And that was it: Watson waved the white flag of surrender. "Yes, I have. I got very very drunk once in my life, as everyone does," she declared. "I got drunk! I have been drunk! I'll bow to that!"
UPDATE OCTOBER 3RD 2011, From dailymail.co.uk Oct 3rd, 2011(ELLE MAGAZINE), "I'm not that much of a lightweight. 'My dad's great hobby is wine, so it's always been part of our family life. 'For someone so little, I don't get drunk very easily. It's quite a good talent. I'm not challenging anyone to a competition though!"
REMEMBER SHE DOESN'T SELL SEX (click link) THOUGH!!
AND She doesn't drink or party, so she says
Here she is going to another strip club but no photos on this one. Just the story from NYC.
Here she is talking about not getting her flash out
Here she is getting her flash out again
UPDATE: From iheartwatson.net Oct 2011 (Elle magazine), "My friends drag me out every now and again if it's their birthday or something. I get these 'live a little' guilt trips. They tell me I should have a bit more fun, but I feel awkward about taking all of the attention when we're in public, especially if it's in London where the paparazzi won't leave me alone."
UPDATE: From heraldscotland.com/ Oct 22nd 2011, "Rihanna was seen visiting Stringfellows this week while Katy Perry, Kate Moss, Emma Watson and Princess Eugenie (though the royals are never a reliable barometer of decent behaviour) are all strip club regulars. I operate a shameless double standard when it comes to stripping. If women want to get it out and shake it in strange men's faces, do it. While men are imbecilic enough to hand over the readies to fix a stare on a lithe lady's writhing then take the money. But men who allow themselves to be exploited in this way? Pathetic"

Two weeks after police said an SUV and dog were taken from a Walmart parking lot, both have been recovered.
"Through the help of the community, my friends, my friends online and the online community, we've got the dog back," said Jason Tharp.
On Dec. 14, Tharp said he went to the Walmart to get camping supplies and put his 6-month-old German short haired pointer Lexi in her crate in the cargo area of his SUV while he went inside.
When he went back to the parking lot, his car was gone, and so was his dog.
Tharp took out ads to get his dog back, and posted appeals on online message boards - and it worked. One of the tips received eventually led Travelers Rest police to an address in Greenville County.
Police aren't releasing much information yet in the investigation, but they tell us the SUV and dog were found in one location.
But Travelers Rest Police Capt. John Gardner said the fact that the dog was found at all is a rarity.
"The longer a case goes without a resolution, the less likely that it will be a good resolution. So two weeks is a long time for a dog to be missing. For a dog to come back to an owner, that makes it really special and sweet for them," said Gardner.
Tharp said he's still missing some of his stuff, but the most important thing that was taken is now back home.
"Christmas came a little late this year, but it came," he said.
Police charged Jonathan Hamby, 20, and Jarrid Wilson, 18, each with grand larceny. They were released from jail on bond.

Motorola Announces Android Update Timetable
Froyo is nowhere in sight.
Motorola rolled out its Android update timetable and while the Cliq and Backflip will be getting upgrades to Android 2.1, no phones are getting 2.2 in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile the Droid X is preparing to launch on Verizon in the coming weeks, also running 2.1.
This begs the question, "When is Motorola going to embrace Android 2.2?" Currently, it's possible to root Android phones and install other versions of the OS, and until Motorola does an official update, that's the only way to get the most up-to-date version.
The Backflip will get updated to 2.1 in Q3 2010, which means we could see the update in as soon as next week, as the third quarter of 2010 ends on June 30. But considering the Cliq was slated for a 2.1 update by the end of March, it doesn't look likely.

Wolverines season ends with loss to Portage Lake
The fifth-seeded Calumet Wolverines finished the round-robin portion of the Great Lakes Hockey League playoffs in the fifth spot, losing a tiebreaker to Mosinee to earn a spot in the semifinals.
Calumet defeated the De Pere Deacons 5-1, and lost to the Portage Lake Pioneers 6-2 in the tournament. Mosinee, who also went 1-1, won the tiebreaker with a +1 goal differential.
In the Wolverines win over De Pere, Mike Babcock scored two goals, while Jack Maccani, Josh Harju and Logan Rastello added one each. Ryan Patrick made 26 saves to earn the win.
The Pioneers earned a 2-0 lead with back-to-back power-play goals early in the first period. The second-seeded Pioneers tacked on another before the end of the first period. Two more Pios goals in the second meant the Wolverines had to dig out of a 5-0 hole.
Alex VanWagner scored on a nice feed from Zach Babcock to bring the Wolverines within four early in the third, and after a Portage Lake goal, Harju netted his second of the tournament to keep the Wolverines goal differential at zero.
Calumet outshot Portage Lake 37-30 in the contest, but was bettered for the seventh time in eight contests this season.
The Wolverines finished the year with a 15-13-3 record, including a 13-10-3 record during the regular season.

Confirmed: Audi RS5 coming to America in 2012, R8 Spyder priced from $161,000*
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Jul 23rd, 2010 at 5:27PM
The on-again/off-again rumors about whether or not Americans will get to sample the hotter-than-hot Audi RS5 Coupe end now – the automaker has officially stated that the coupe will hit the States sometime in 2012. Yes, that's a bit later than what had originally been speculated, but we're still stoked that Audi has decided to include us on the RS5 goodness. No mechanical changes will be made to the coupe before it launches in the U.S., so the high-revving 450-horsepower V8 will still be intact. Awesome. But in the meantime, we have lots of other Audi hotness hitting the streets,... Read More

Re: Those who are curious about "Dream JB"...
That was an a-hole move and above that the message was a cop out for the real reason behind it. The whole point was probably to make money off the visitors to the site most likely and then they put up this lame "I wanted to teach you a lesson" crap.
I wasn't going to use it if it was real anyway there is something in using a tool from proven sources. We don't know who the hell this guy is and the fact that the method was using an exploit means you don't know what the hell the tool would have been programmed to do. I was gonna stick it out until the Dev-Team came up with something why because after 5 years I know they wouldn't use the exploit in a malicious way.can't upgrade via iTunes check this thread http://forum.tipb.com/jailbreak-unlo...ml#post1717460

"When he finished breaking windows, he came inside," said shift manager Humberto Mena, who directed customers to exit the restaurant.
The confrontation with Monterey Park police was recorded by witnesses and posted on YouTube.
The video shows Rodriguez coming out the front door and into the parking lot, where police were waiting with weapons drawn.
Police tried to stop him with a taser, but Rodriquez seemed unfazed as he pulled the taser darts from his face and coat.
He then appears to turn and confront the officer who fired the taser, prompting officers to shoot him.
"It appears that he tried to hit one of the officers, at which point the shooting occurred," said Sheriff's Homicide Lt. Eddie Hernandez.
The threat to the officers seemed evident in the video but Lt. Hernandez was asked if different tactics might have kept the officers at a safer distance and prevented the need for deadly force.
"Optimally, you don't want to get that close but these situations obviously occur rapidly, they evolve really fast and sometimes your time to react is very limited," said Lt. Hernandez.
At the Carl's Jr., every one of its windows remained boarded up, but the restaurant has re-opened.

A client asked me recently if lack of sleep affects his training performance even though he doesn't feel tire at the time of training. The answer is YES, definitely. Just because you are not tired at the time, it doesn't mean that it doesn't screw up your body (to be more specific, your hormones). Sleeping is the main key to fixing many health issues.
"Consistently skimping on sleep for even a week or two can have the same impact on our mood and performance as missing two full nights of sleep," says Donna Arand, Ph.D., clinical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Kettering Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio. "Plus, it puts you at risk for diabetes and heart disease."
A recent survey indicates that more than 60% of Americans have average less than 7 hours of sleep. Ideally, 8 hours of sleep is good. Missing 30 minutes to 1 hours can surprisingly lead to weight gain because your metabolism starts slowing and hormonal changes boost appetite and cravings.
If you miss 1 or 2 hours sleep, your mood will tank and often lead to anxiety, stress and/or depression. Other research shows that after a couple nights of only 4 or 5 hours of rest, memory and attention span notably worsen.
If you miss 3 to 4 hours sleep, our
heart rate and blood pressure spike. There's also evidence that sleeping only 4 hours a night for just six days can impair your body's ability to regulate blood sugar; therefore, more cravings and weight gain.
For many of our functional medicine's patients, getting them to sleep better (at least 8 hours a night) eliminates more than half of their health issues. One thing I noticed from our clients/patients who weren't getting enough sleep was they had adrenal burn out or adrenal fatigue, which all lead to low cortisol and low testosterone.
So make sure you get yourself a good quality sleep every night. Here are some suggestions:
1) Go to bed before midnight, (ideally before 10 pm) because between 10 pm to 2 am is the optimum time for hormonal regulation and repair process, everything that involves recovery.
2) Don't work out at night because it raises cortisol and disrupts the sleeping pattern.
3) Don't drink any drink containing caffeine such as tea, soda and coffee.
4) Turn all lights off, including computers. Any small light can disrupt your sleep throughout the night.
5) Read a boring book (textbook) before going to sleep.
6) Drink chamomile tea. It soothes and calms you down.
7) Take some supplements that help your sleep like melatonin, 5-HTP, and Gabba.
I hope these tips help. Getting a good night sleep makes your day goes by faster and your mood will be good.

AlainVoge LesPayrouses AC: Cotes du Rhone (13.5%; 100% Syrah from Cornas/StJoseph) 2011: Dark color; strong Syrah/blackberry/blueberry slight earthy/dusty/lavender bit rustic slight Rhonish/roasted slight alcoholic rather Calif-style pleasant nose; soft some blackberry/Syrah/blueberry fairly smooth slight earthy/rustic flavor w/ modest tannins; med. rather blackberry/Syrah/blueberry light rustic/earthy pleasant finish w/ light tannins; a pleasant enough Syrah but not much NorthernRhone character; far better than most CdR but not up to the StCosme CdR '10; a pleasant enough CdR (because no Grenache) but not tempted to buy more. $21.50 (SFW&S)
2. MaisonRoche de Bellene AC: Bourgogne PinotNoir VeillesVignes (www.MaisonRocheDeBellene.com; #55,044 of 78,600; 13%; Vine Age: 56-88 yrs; LoosenBros/Salem/OR) NicolasPotel/Beaune 2010: Med.color; pleasant PN/black cherry somewhat pungent/earthy/dusty/loamy very slight pencilly/oak nose; fairly tart light black cherry/PN bit lean/bitey/harsh/tannins flavor; med. earthy/dusty/loamy slight black cherry/PN rather lean/tight/austere finish w/ light agular/bitey tannins; a rather lean/tight/bitey Burg w/ not much fruit but pleasant enough if you have to drink Burgundy. $21.50 (SFW&S)
And a wee BloodyPulpit:
1. It always gets my goat when those Burgundy folks start using American labeling terms. The wine says Bourgogne....that, by definition, is PinotNoir. They invented varietal labeling in California and the Burgundians have no right to put PinotNoir on their labels in a blatent attempt to take advantage of the gullible American consumers. Is nothing sacred anymore??
