To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Very deep crimson in color. Satsuma plum and blueberry perfume, typical of this old vine wine, emanate from the glass with wisps of smoke, savory gamey notes and lovely biscuit characters. The aromas flow onto the palate beautifully with extra Briary Spice cutting through the sweet fruit. A rich mouth feel with velvety fine tannins extending the finish and add to the slightly savory, earthy complexity.
"The extreme age of the vines (oldest in SA) manifests itself as much in the length as the depth of the wine, but also manages to carry the alcohol; medium-bodied, and highly polished tannins after two years in 70% new French oak."
95 Points
Australian Wine Companion
"The 2005 Shiraz "1843 Freedom" comes from a dry-grown vineyard planted in 1843 which is believed to be the oldest surviving pre-phylloxera Shiraz vines in Australia. The wine was aged for 24 months in 70% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Purple-colored, it gives up a sexy perfume of pain grille, smoke, violets, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Surprisingly light on its feet, the wine is full-flavored, opulent, and very long. Give it 5-7 years to blossom fully and drink this hedonistic effort through 2025."
94 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby. Explosively perfumed bouquet combines boysenberry, potpourri, minerals and fresh flowers; this could scent a room. Fleshy dark berry fruit demonstrates liqueur-like depth and richness without coming across as sweet, and vibrant minerality helps to extend the flavors. The finish refuses to let up, eventually leaving vibrant red and dark berries and zesty minerals in its wake. "
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Ripe, round and expressive. A complex range of flavors hang easily on a sleek frame, with cherry, boysenberry, roasted red pepper and savory accents that play themselves out harmoniously. This finishes well, but not quite as expressively as it might. Drink now through 2015. 500 cases made."

The land on which Langmeil Winery now stands was purchased by a 36 year old German blacksmith, Christian Auricht. He and his family arrived in South Australia in 1838 after emigrating from eastern-central Europe (Silesia) to escape religious persecution.
Christian planted his first acre of vines on the estate. The variety was Shiraz and the vines are still producing fruit...Read More About Langmeil
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine...Read More About Barossa Valley
(seh-RAH/shee-RAHZ) It's a Smokin' Grape Syrah and Shiraz - same grape, different name. It's a popular and adept variety, growing in multiple regions and creating many different styles of wine. The home base of Syrah is the Northern Rhone, where it creates the exclusive wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie. On the less pricy side, the Rhone makes Syrah-based wines in Crozes...Read More About Syrah/Shiraz

This is one of those ticking time-bomb stories that may never go off, but if it goes boom, it will cause some consternation in the Re-Elect Rick Snyder campaign.Bond sales.What?From time to time local governments sell bonds to finance local projects from building a new sewer system to refinancing existing debt hopefully at a lower interest rate. There's nothing like a local mayor telling his or her citizens, "I just saved you a bundle of money."In the wake of Detroit possibly headed for bankruptcy, however, the mayors may be muzzled because the hope of "lower" interests rates may be just that, a hope.Already three cities have withdrawn from the bond market because they feared they'd get whacked in the pocketbook because of the financial uncertainty in Motown. A New York investor told the Detroit Free Press, "For a while there's been a Detroit penalty for bonds in the Detroit area, but now it's really pronounced" and impacting non-Detroit entitites.Saginaw County, Genesee County and the governor's home town of Battle Creek were ready to buy bonds but pressed the pause button instead.The schools in Ypsilanti, Sandusky, and Detroit are headed for the market soon and the Detroit bankruptcy hangs over all of them.On the upside, the state transportation department just saved $817,000 by securing a 1.78% interest rate on a $10 million refinancing sale.The sale of bonds creates local jobs and stimulates local economies. Without them, the quality of life could be damaged. And who helped to create this uncertainty by trying to shove Detroit in Chapter 9?Yep, the governor. Will citizens take it out on him? One guy who won't is L. Brooks Patterson who enjoys an enviable AAA credit rating in Oakland County. Under normal times as he prepares to enter the bond market, he'd be fat and sassy regarding lower interest rates.But he knows he'll pay more now yet he is not going to criticize the governor for creating this situation."He didn't have an alternative," the sympathetic Mr. Patterson describes the challenge the governor faced. "I'm not holding him responsible," but he sure as heck is holding the "failed leadership and corruption" of the city accountable and Oakland County taxpayers could take a hit.So far in out state Michigan, the governor has earned high marks for pulling the bankruptcy trigger. You can almost hear a collective, "Enough was enough" from the citizenry beyond Eight Mile.But if the governor's decision results in more cities seeking to improve their lot by selling bonds and being stymied from doing so, is that a potential political problem on the eve of his re-election bid?Republican Patterson, who knows a thing or two about political sink-holes, answers in the affirmative.All of a sudden, if local residents who need a new water system or want to improve their schools, can't get them because Detroit is on the ropes, maybe the Democrats will suggest Gov. Snyder is to blame. At this early juncture there is not even a hint of that as this situation has not reached critical mass and maybe it won't go boom but maybe it will.Would it be like the D's to exploit this if they thought it would cost the governor some votes?You know the answer to that…and so does he.

Perhaps it's because as a dining critic I tend to order lots of varied things from a restaurant's menu, but I'm noticing a trend. Dining tables are just too small.
Waiters can't begin to fit four appetizers, much less that many entrees, on most of the tables I dine on. The evening becomes a little like watching the Keystone Cops when it's time for clearing.
The most egregious offender? Hal's on Old Ivy — the tables are the size of a matchbox, and there's no way the space between them passes the fire code. I actually had a waiter there stack one of my dishes between the other two, like a pyramid.
The most spacious tables? Hmmm … I'd but FAB on that list, as well as the Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead and Quinones at Bacchanalia. And for it's size, Tamarind Thai has relatively large table space.
Who's got the smallest table space in town?

Meridith Ford Goldman — just balance the plates on your thighs. That ought to be good for a buffet or two.

If I can't get a table I like, I leave. Maybe it's too small, maybe it's poor placement. It happens. It's not that big a deal; chances are I won't return, but it's not as if the restaurants need to be concerned about that — people tend to have very low expectations of them.
We eat out a lot. Including lunch, I probably eat out 10 times per week. The food's better at home, but we like being able to relax and not have to clean up. There aren't that many restaurants worth returning to, but among the ones we like are the pizza joint, this 1 Chinese place (man, the chinese joints get the worst health scores!), soup & salad, a breakfast place is hard to find. Nothing fancy, except on special occasions.

LOL! I went to Dairy Queen last night and watched an obese slob prop his belly up on the table after squeezing his corpus maximus between the seat and the table. It was disgusting. He ordered a hamburger, french fries, large coke and a chili dog on the side. Thank goodness for large tables at Dairy Queen or else he might not have had room for his oversized gut and all the food he ordered.

I eat like once a month now. I agree with bbb, I am glad I can afford to eat. When my mom says why dont you come over for dinner tonight, I am like I will be there. I don't care if it is something I dislike, I will be there eating it and enjoying it. I don't have the money to go out and eat. Thankfully, I don't have any children.
May 4th, 2009

If the restaurants would not clutter the table with so much stuff; i.e. dessert menus; drink menus; sales flyers, etc. then there might be enough room. I find that I have to place these items on the ledge or floor just so we have ample space to enjoy our meals.

May 4th, 2009

It's a marketing gimmick. The smaller the table the larger the meal appears to be and the more people per square foot that can be seated and served. It also keeps customer from getting too comfartable so as to get them out the door quicker. Turnover people! Turnover!

"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"Fell in love with these immediately and after shopping around, nothing else compared so we bought them. I just did regular paper, nothing fancy, and they look great. We are sending them out with the invite, reply card, and a small note on parchment paper to get more info on our matching website, and are bounding the invite package with burlap ribbon. Looks awesome and "vintage-y" :)"

Team Ratings
Manchester City
J. Hart
Questionable positioning when charging out on Sturridge, but had his blushes spared by Zabaleta. His blushes nearly returned though when the defender almost scored an own goal after a mix-up between the pair. Flapped at a few crosses but made a fine late save to deny Sturridge from a winner.
M. Nastasić
Failed to cope with Sturridge's pace and skill on a few occasions but was otherwise fairly solid. Sacrificed for Kolarov as Mancini tried something different after the break.
J. Lescott
A poor clearance that hit Sturridge led to a chance for Suarez, but the centre-back dealt with most else and made a very important intervention to deny Carragher. Great late tackle on Suarez.
P. Zabaleta
The captain made a brilliant tackle to deny Sturridge early on and was solid as always - aside from one lapse in concentration where he nearly scored an embarrassing own goal.
G. Clichy
Found Suarez's trickery hard to defend against at times and didn't offer his usual attacking threat.
Javi García
Headed over with a half-chance early on. Failed to clear the ball before Sturridge made it 1-1. At times failed to deal with Suarez as he dropped deeper.
J. Milner
Crossed for Dzeko's opening goal and, as always, worked hard on his flank going backwards and forwards and providing some teasing crosses. A very good game from the industrious midfielder, when the creators didn't really turn up.
G. Barry
Tracked back well and made a number of important tackles, also started some attacking moves on the front foot. Provided the assist for Aguero's goal. Withdrawn late on.
David Silva
Tested Reina with a brilliant early strike. Found space in front of the Liverpool area and was involved in the first goal. Not as much of a threat after the break as was withdrawn with around 15 minutes left.
S. Agüero
Showed great skill in the build-up to the opener, and some other fine touches. Unfortunate to lose his footing after one superb solo run. Went missing at times but rescued a point with a fabulous instinctive finish.
E. Džeko
Failed to get hold of the ball early on but found space in the box for a simple opener. Picked up a silly booking for dissent and went missing after the break.
Pepe Reina
Good early save from Silva and had no chance with Dzeko's tap-in. A rash moment allowed Aguero to bag a late equaliser, though the striker's finish was breathtaking.
D. Agger
Sloppy pass-back gave a corner away that led to an early Garcia chance. He lost Dzeko's position for the opening goal, and sat too deep allowing Milner to stay onside. Improved after the break and won most things that came his way.
José Enrique
Looked to get forward when he could and was solid at the back. Replaced by Skrtel with just over ten minutes left.
G. Johnson
Good vision to find Sturridge for an early chance and continued to bomb forward when he could.
J. Carragher
Was dominant in the air, and made numerous interceptions on the ground, though might have communicated better for Dzeko's goal. Almost scored after a good cross from Suarez.
Lucas Leiva
Broke up numerous attacks with well-timed tackles, always staying on his feet. Started a few of his own side's, too.
J. Henderson
Started fairly well but wasted a couple of decent positions. Also made a few poor tackles as the game continued, including a wild foul on Barry before being booked for a rash lunge on Milner.
S. Gerrard
Kept his side ticking over but hit a couple of wayward passes and set-piece deliveries. Provided the assist for Sturridge's goal with a neat pass and then got Liverpool's second with a sublime strike from range.
S. Downing
Didn't pose a threat going forward but made a few interceptions at the back. Wasted some good openings.
D. Sturridge
Would have given the Reds the lead after showing a beautiful touch following Johnson's pass if it were not for a Zabaleta tackle. Did then find the net with an absolute rocket to level the scores. Stepped up in a more central role for the team, though did pick up a booking for diving in a less influential second half. Did nearly win it with a late toe-poked effort.
L. Suárez
Played in a slightly different role in behind Sturridge, where he pressured the ball well from but had less effect on the game. Still impressed and proved hard to pick up, waltzing past Clichy and Barry with sublime skill on one occasion. Didn't have his shooting boots on, though.
Thrown on in the second-half after City went behind and almost scored with a powerful header, but sent it over, then almost set-up a goal with a dangerous cross.
A. Kolarov
Brought on for Nastasic in the second half in a change that did lift City during a spell of Liverpool dominance.
S. Nasri
Put on very late on in the place of the impressive Barry as City searched for a winner.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Major work began Thursday on a new interchange at a busy west Spokane intersection.
Many crashes have happened on Highway 195 at Cheney Spokane, including one that killed a Cheney High School student.
Emergency crews have responded to 28 crashes at the intersection in the last five years. One broke Thomas Grieb's back, ribs and several other bones when a driver pulled in front of him while on his Harley.
"My wife and my friends, family-- they all prayed for me. God must be looking out for sailors and fools, and I'm both of them," Grieb said.
Most recently, 16-year-old Lorissa Green died in a T-bone crash in 2009. Since, her family and others lobbied for safety improvements.
"I'm glad it's happening. I'm really to the point where we need to get this done and just let everybody be safe," Debi Hammel, Green's mom, said.
Work is expected to be completed by fall.

The maker makes: on design, community, and personal empowerment
THE FIRST THING I got about the web was its ability to empower the maker. The year was 1995, and I was tinkering at my first website. The medium was raw and ugly, like a forceps baby; yet even in its blind, howling state, it made me a writer, a designer, and a publisher — ambitions which had eluded me during more than a decade of underachieving desert wanderings.
I say "it made me" but I made it, too. You get the power by using it. Nobody confers it on you.
I also got that the power was not for me alone: it was conferred in equal measure on everyone with whom I worked, although not everyone would have the time or desire to use the power fully.
The luckiest makers
Empowerment and desire. It takes extraordinary commitment, luck, and talent to become a maker in, say, music or film, because the production and distribution costs and risks in these fields almost always demand rich outside investors and tightly controlling corporate structures. (Film has held up better than music under these conditions.)
Music and film fill my life, and, from afar, I love many artists involved in these enterprises. But they are mostly closed to you and me, where the web is wide open, and always has been. We all know gifted, hard working musicians who deserve wide acclaim but do not receive it, even after decades of toil. The web is far kinder to makers.
To care is to share
Not only does the web make publishers of those willing to put in the work, it also makes most of us free sharers of our hard-won trade, craft, and business secrets. The minute we grab hold of a new angle on design, interaction, code, or content, we share it with a friend — or with friends we haven't met yet. This sharing started in news groups and message boards, and flowered on what came to be called blogs, but it can also slip the bounds of its containing medium, empowering makers to create books, meet-ups, magazines, conferences, products, you name it. It is tough to break into traditional book publishing the normal way but comparatively easy to do it from the web, provided you have put in the early work of community building.
The beauty is that the community building doesn't feel like work; it feels like goofing off with your friends (because, mostly, it is). You don't have to turn your readers into customers. Indeed, if you feel like you're turning your readers into customers, you're doing it wrong.
If you see a chance, take it
The corollary to all this empowerment is that it's up to each of us to do something positive with it. I sometimes become impatient when members of our community spend their energy publicly lamenting that a website about cats isn't about dogs. Their energy would be so much better spent starting bow-wow.com. The feeling that something is missing from a beloved online resource (or conference, or product) can be a wonderful motivator to start your own. I created A List Apart because I felt that webmonkey.com wasn't enough about design and highfive.com was too much about it. If this porridge is too hot and that porridge is too cold, I better make some fresh, eh?
I apologize if I sometimes seem snippy with whiners. My goal is never to make anyone feel bad, especially not anyone in this community. My message to my peers since the days of "Ask Dr Web" has always been: "you can do this! Go do it." That is still what I say to you all.

You have hit a sweet spot with those that have a passion for the web, I mean, I have never cared about what I do more than I do now. But this is only because there is an interchange in enthusiasm that flows through our veins when a community shares the discovery of something inspirational.
There are so many ways individuals can contribute now than ever before and it is making a big difference. "Caring is sharing", there is something quite John Lennon about that.

Funny, I wasn't sure that anyone would ever formulate exactly why I make websites, but here it is. Starting in 2003 when CMSs were being born and open source was a political ideal (as I remember) was also as exciting as this, but with a taller ceiling supported by a not-entirely-visible establishment.
Hugh Guiney said on 30 December 2011 at 11:31 am:
Well-put, and very timely—working on a labor-of-love, nothing-else-fits project at this very moment. It's under wraps right now, which kills me, because despite being made "for me", it's the prospect of sharing it with the world that keeps me invested; pushing me on to the next steps…
I will note though, that as someone who moonlights as an indie filmmaker, the barriers to film are coming down—in fact, they already are down if hopefuls are willing to divorce themselves from the notion that they need to be in or imitating Hollywood in order to "make it". It's still very expensive compared to Web publishing (though I suppose that's almost everything at this point), but considering that making a movie for anything less than a million dollars was laudable only a couple of decades ago, when films of comparable quality can be achieved today for as little as $10,000, it's much, much, more feasible, and the Web is largely responsible for that. Which is why I'm excited to have a hand in both industries.
Keep making, my brothers and sisters…

Hear. Hear. Louis C.K. just made a million dollars after producing his own video, editing it himself on his MacBook, and selling it WITHOUT protections like DRM:
I believe this is strong evidence of how the web enables people to "make," as you put it.
I've been working on the web for nearly 15 years and one of the first things that attracted me to the medium was how it leveled the field of publishing. I was in print design and couldn't believe how expensive it was to produce quality pieces. It was clear only those with the fattest wallets could produce high-end materials. But the web changed that, enabling anyone and everyone to publish just like big boys.
Go, web.
Matt Robin said on 30 December 2011 at 2:21 pm:
Good words, and great values Jeffrey.
However, I'm also slightly disappointed too that you feel the community still needs reminding of sentiments originally thought of sixteen years ago. Were your good words and meanings lost along the way, has the community become that poor at doing things well?
Matt Wilcox said on 30 December 2011 at 2:31 pm:
Nice article :) I've been doing that a little more myself recently and have been surprised at how things can happen that I didn't think were possible. An article for 24 Ways; because I asked Drew if he'd be interested in one. An automated solution to serving re-scaled images in responsive designs; because I was frustrated with existing solutions. A small speaking gig in the new year; because I said yes instead of no.
Life in general is often what you make it. You just have to remember to make it.
Trace Meek said on 30 December 2011 at 6:15 pm:
Hear, hear! Thanks for the reminder about the blast from the past, "Ask Dr Web." I loved (and love) how the lengths of your navigation labels ebbed and flowed pleasingly. :)
Also really happy to read Hugh Guiney's comment on film becoming more accessible, as that's been an aspiration of mine. As web delivery of video evolves, opportunities should only get better.
Maybe one key to happiness (and surely there are many) is to approach whatever work we do in our chosen medium(s) as art. As artists, we need no validation other than the joy of creating, and maybe just enough sustenance to be able to continue. Public recognition, publishing- or movie contracts, acceptance into some "community," and world domination may be "nice to haves" but are not necessary to be perfectly empowered in, and competent at our crafts.

Great post Mr. Zeldman. My whole process changed when I read your Designing with Web Standards book and I have been very interested in your writing ever since. I have been tracking available domain names that relate to my local community and based upon this inspiring post I will forge ahead to develop it. As we get further into 2012, I think we will see location based websites developed on a more frequent basis. Thanks for your insight!

That's gold Jerry! GOLD! ~ Seinfeld
I hope this doesn't get too sentimental but your book was the catalyst that set me on this path of designing for the web. I had high aspirations for sure but then I saw the work you were producing and the amazing designs of Jason Santa Maria and thought, am I really cut out for this line of work? Am I really dedicated to this craft of making online experiences more enjoyable.
So I took a break from the whole web thing and went back to my roots of tech and system support. It's sometimes hard to see when your head is so far up in a dark place.
But I'm back in the running, or journey as it is. 2011 was a little rough but 3 companies later I've found my place. It's a website with a higher purpose (no don't laugh), it's a social website focused on helping people live healthier lives. It's probably the most fulfilling role I've ever had in my career and with my first child on the way it's that much more poignant.
This article reminded me of a recent epiphany. After 10+ years of striving to produce award winning designs or working on high profile websites, I really just needed to make one person's experience on a website a little easier. The biggest compliment I can receive is a person continually coming back to a site I helped build and enjoying their experience a little more then the last. It might sound small, but when that one person turns into many, things start to come into focus…
So thank you for your book, your words, and all that you do for the community.
May 2012 be an exciting year for us all.
Glenn Haggis said on 9 January 2012 at 5:15 pm:
My message to my peers since the days of "Ask Dr Web" has always been: "you can do this! Go do it." That is still what I say to you all – Thanks Jeffrey for always being an encouragement to us ALL – the seasoned pro's as well as mere mortals like me, just starting out. My 2012 wishes come for the web community come from author Neil Gaiman.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

Area police are asking parents to help them keep their children safe by looking out for synthetic marijuana symptoms.
Area middle and high school students are getting caught with synthetic marijuana and ending up in the hospital. This is something Amarillo police want parents to help them end.
Sergeant Jerome Godfrey is the supervisor of liaison officers at Amarillo schools. He says, "My main concern is, from being a parent myself is, we don't know what's in these chemicals. If there's been other kids die from this in the United States, it could happen here too. And we don't want to see that."
Godfrey says just last week, two high school students were sent to the hospital with seizure and heart attack like symptoms because of synthetic marijuana. He says, "A lot of times they'll put something on the package that says "Not for human consumption". When in reality that's what a lot of these young people are doing. They're getting the synthetic marijuana, and then they're smoking it."
Godfrey says a multitude of chemicals are being used to spray on the green leafy substance. And while an X-amount of it can be used in one packet, double can be present in another.
He says, "A lot of the parents, for example, are misinformed or do not understand it. Or not even realize that it is out there." Godfrey is asking parents to know this deadly narcotic's appearance and symptoms. He says most of the time it looks like potpourri and comes in a small bag. It doesn't necessarily have a certain smell to it unlike regular marijuana.
Parents can also look out for symptoms like an extremely rapid pulse rate, sweaty and pale skin, disorientation, and lethargy.

A little Arizona girl is fighting a rare disease -- and now a foundation -- created in her honor is hoping to help give care to other children suffering from the very same thing.
Months ago, Reesa was a healthy little girl -- long before her parents learned of her diagnosis.
"I couldn't believe that my daughter was dying. She was perfectly healthy and I just didn't understand," said Jamie Stutzman.
Reesa's mother and father received the news their daughter had Krabbe disease, which is a rare degenerative disorder that affects the nervous system. There is no cure and most children don't live to see their second birthday.
"Her brain has trouble communicating with the rest of her body, the rest of her nervous system, so that means over time, the disease degrades her motor skills, her vision, her hearing," said Sean Stutzman.
"We do CPT therapy that helps get her to cough because she can't swallow on her own, so it helps get all the secretions out so she can cough now her own," said Jamie.
That takes place 25 times an hour. However difficult, Reesa has been fortunate. She is able to receive the care she needs.
There are families out there who can't afford it or don't have the means, so Reesa's parents started the Baby Reesa Foundation in hopes of helping those families meet the needs of their children. Comforting their little ones until more help arrives.
'The only kind of care is comfort care for them, but if you catch it before symptoms, then there's treatment like a bone marrow transplant or stem cell."
Baby Reesa has already beat the odds. At 28-months-old, she wasn't expected to live this long.

The compact Atari Arcade joystick dock ably converts the iPad into an old-school video game machine that doesn't require batteries, as long as all you're planning to do is play Atari games.
After 31 years hidden in the wake of one of the worst video game failures in history, thousands of E.T. and other Atari games were uncovered Saturday. The find ended the mystique of a great industry legend.
At SXSW, a team of filmmakers said they're ready to start shoveling garbage out of a New Mexico landfill in the hunt for millions of units of the buried treasure. Their film will document the whole tragic story.
The Atari Flashback 2 delivers a genuine Atari 2600 retro gaming experience at an unbeatable price.
The soon to be shuttered Xbox Entertainment Studios showed the first peek at the film about this spring's successful dig for thousands of Atari E.T. cartridges buried in New Mexico in 1983.
The exclusive series will air only on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, starting with a film about the infamous Atari video game ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.
This spring, hundreds of long-buried Atari cartridges were excavated from a landfill. Here's the full list of what was found and what's next for these plastic pieces of geek history.
Despite doubters, the first of what could be thousands or millions of buried E.T. game cartridges were discovered in the Alamogordo landfill where Atari buried them 31 years ago.
The world will find out Saturday if millions of game cartridges that Atari disappeared in 1983 after its E.T. title tanked are really in a New Mexico dump. CNET will be there to report.
Atari tried to make thousands of E.T. game cartridges disappear in 1983. But too many people knew where they were, and now a crew has excavated them from a landfill in Alamogordo, N.M.

'Racist' Sorority Photo Is Sad Reminder That Ignorance Is Everywhere (PHOTO)
There's really little use debating if the photo currently under fire from a Penn State Mexican-themed sorority party is offensive. It is, without a doubt.
In a picture from the party, members of the Chi Omega sorority are seen dressed in ponchos, sombreros, and fake mustaches. That alone is questionable to some, but the signs they were holding were undeniably outrageous. One read: "Will mow lawn for weed + beer" and the other: "I don't cut grass, I smoke it." No wonder the picture has caused an uproar and cries of racism, both on campus and across the Internet.
Really, how could they have ever thought this was okay?
Vice President of the Mexican American Student Association, Cesar Sanchez Lopez, made some good points when he told Onward State:
"The Mexican American Student Association is disappointed in the attire chosen by this sorority. It in no way represents our culture," Lopez said in a statement. "Not only have they chosen to stereotype our culture with serapes and sombreros, but the insinuation about drug usage makes this image more offensive. Our country is plagued by a drug war that has led to the death of an estimated 50,000 people, which is nothing to be joked about."
The sorority has issued an apology, and the school's Panhellenic Council and the sorority's national headquarters are investigating. But it should have never happened. These young women should have known better, and I hope that I'm raising my kids to know why things like this aren't okay, even if it's in the name of fun.
While I'm shocked by this behavior, I have no doubts that racism is alive and not-so-well in this country. We've come a long way, but there is still much hate out there, much of which stems from the persistence of stereotypes and flat-out ignorance. It's especially painful to see, however, when it comes from those for whom ignorance shouldn't be an issue -- like students at an esteemed university. Ironically, the whole incident also just reinforces plenty of negative stereotypes people have about sororities and those who join them too.
Are you shocked that students would think this was okay?

As usual, people have become too politically correct and take things way too seriously. Sorority party themes are meant to be taken as a joke. They're supposed to magnify stereotypes because stereotypes make for good costumes and good pictures. I highly doubt that any of these girls actually think that this is what Mexicans are like. Trust me I know what the intentions were behind this. I've been to many sorority theme parties. They were not trying to perpetuate ignorance or be malicious.

Because that's what REALLY divides people in this country.....I say that MOST everyone wants to laugh at them selves and each other and live together in relative unity....its just FEW "professional victims" and the BS liberal media that REALLY flames the fires of so called "racism"

FellyScarlettDecember 6, 2012 at 2:40 AMThis is just soooo typical of the white man.
Just kidding :)
Seriously though, it does kinda piss me off, since most Mexicans don't even smoke weed. It would be way more realistic if the just dressed like themselves.

Autumnleaves87December 6, 2012 at 2:47 AMBad taste. Not funny. Somewhat offensive.

This bigotry needs to end now. We are no longer in the time of sticks and stones. Everyone needs to forget the hate and remember we are all here on this same blue ball we call earth. We all live our lives by the same air, water, and food. We watch the same sky day or night. Share the same sunlight and moonlight alike.

No but i'm shocked that people are making such a big deal about it. Hello it was a mexican themed party how do you not exaggerate stereotypes? It would have been a pretty boring party had they depicted how most mexicans really are. It's called satire, get off your politically correct high horse.

tuffymamaDecember 6, 2012 at 6:55 AMI had no idea there was a Mexican pothead stereotype...? I've only heard the ones concerning illegals coming here to avail themselves of social services and send money back to Mexico...? I think these jerks are less racist and more just plain stupid. Nitwits. And their parents probably ARE proud. The racist apple doesn't fall far from the racist tree. Plus, it's Pennsylvania. Ugh. (Wink)

PinkmaniDecember 6, 2012 at 6:59 AM
No, it's not racist to have a Mexican themed party. However, when you're holding signs that say "I don't cut grass, I smoke it" or "Will mow lawn for weed and beer" which I consider to be prejuide and discrimination aka racism.

Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet CaseLightweight fabric-covered case, 2 exterior pockets, molded interior, interior music pocket, and 2 additional storage compartments.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I purchased this case because my old case became too tedious to manage. While it is spacious and certainly protective, keep in mind that if you travel with your instrument it is quite heavy and bulky, and barely fits under an airline seat. You may need an additional, lighter weight case if you travel, particularly since some accessories (i.e. cork grease) may need to be checked anyway.
This case is a very high quality case. It protects the clarinet extremely well and has room for things such as swabs, extra barrels, cork grease, a large reed case, extra mouthpieces, a clarinet stand and more. And all of that can fit in the interior pockets. However, this case is very big. It fits just one clarinet but almost looks like a double clarinet case. I don't find this to be a huge problem but I can see how this would be very inconvenient. I find that the size of this case does not affect me, and because I teach lessons it is great because it can hold books and other things that I needed an extra bag for. So in the end, it ended up saving a lot of space.
When I was entering high school, the original case for my clarinet was falling apart quite literally. I bought the ProTec Carry-All because in my old case, I never had any room for my extra barrels, music - even a pencil! Though it is a decent case, I feel that I overcompensated a bit. Yes, it has room, but as a student I really don't need all of that space. It doesn't fit well in my school locker, and it leaves no room in my band locker for anything else. However, when I work over the summer, it does fit all of the reed boxes, cork grease, mouthpieces, and lesson books that I need.
I was given this as a gift by my last instructor all the way back in middle school when I got my second clarinet. I'm now in college and the only reason I stopped using it was because the zipper is coming loose in one spot on the side from lots of hard pulls. It lasted me a good five years though middle and high school. I was a pack rat and I loved this case! It has room for your sheet music in the top. It has an outside pouch where you can put your pencils and erasers. And there are two compartments on the inside to put a large tuner (like a silver Korg), a large reed case (see protecs multi case), and WHATEVER else I needed. The only thing that won't fit is a clarinet stand that doesn't fit in the bell. I still have it as a spare. I cleaned it this summer and it's almost as good as new!
Well I got this case two days ago. When I first saw it I was thinking, maybe this is too big. No, it was perfect! The case has a pocket inside of it where your music goes and a pocket on the outside that is good for pencils and objects like that. It fits my Clarinet perfectly. It's going to be great when I go to my Honor Band Clinics, with my old case I had to hold my music but now I can put it in my case. I have had a lot of people so far tell me it was pretty cool, and they were thinking about purchasing one just like it. I would recommend this case to any HS Student who participates in honor bands and things like this.

In my medical school, along with most of the other medical school's I've seen within my community, they practice free mixing. However, in my university the females outnumber males from 3:1. Now, in my eyes this is a pretty big fitna considering I'm not married yet, the hadeeth of the prophet (PBUH) comes to mind of him advising the Muslims to run from fitnas; taking that into consideration, how should I proceed with my predicament? Jazakallah Khayr.
bro this is physically easy but psychologically hard am as well a nursing student facing the same temptation but do we do is to be patience nd fears Allah & wait for the apointed time verily in this we're haven reward from Allah. Let not try do d other ways if we there Allah's torment is intolerable ALLAH knows best
I think the easiest way to deal with this kind of issue is to get married or if that doesn't seem to be possible at the moment then FAST Mondays & Thursdays (or every other day) so that temptations will decrease. And do ask Allah to make an easy way out for you.

Another possible house, the ugly fence
Saw this coming up for rent in the neighborhood day before yesterday, but stopped by today to get a look at it. It's a reasonably light place with a huge back yard with coffee, mangos, avocados, guavas, squash plants, orchids, and what looked like a Poinsettia. Three bedrooms, none really tiny, bathroom with cold water shower, and both an old kitchen outside with a classical woodburning stove outside and a modern kitchen inside. $200 a month, which would mean having to get a roommate to share it (Rosario said she could send me guests if anyone wanted a month stay and couldn't afford the Solluntuna Hem.
The fence is ugly but behind it are plantings with ferns, roses, and shrubs. The graffiti is post ironic.
More photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebecca_ore/6887586167/ and following, tagged with "rental houses".
I'll post another picture.
Pachita said I should rent this one rather than the one in Barrio Centroamerica, but also asked me if I wanted to stay in the place I'm renting now. I said I wanted a lease for 2 years. She said she's going to see if her sister-in-law would be willing to take the house off the market and sign an agreement with me.
This place has no room for visitors, but otherwise is comfortable for me and I know the barrio. The house in the photo is a block south of me,not as nice as the first one south of La Estancia de Don Francisco that I saw briefly but which was $300 a month. Rosario's house is smaller and I'd be able to afford it by myself, but I'm cheap and I've got good neighbors here (not that I'd be that far away one block south of where I am now).
But the back yard of the rental close to me is amazing. I could have coffee beans of my own. No bananas at the present, but there is a sweet orange tree.
I'd probably want to share it for now if I got it, but various NGOs have people looking for places from time to time.
Or I could stay here with the avocados, the mangos, and the utterly tastely oranges and the sour mandarins.
i'd say.....
"you're home!" it's got you written all over it!
you are a work of art!
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene." -Homer J. Simpson
Remember, Asking Prices
are not necessarily the final price. A vacant rental chews through what would be a reasonable reduction quickly. A polite "I love the place but my budget is only $150 " might get the result you want, depending on the nature of the rental market in Jinotega.
When we first looked at our land the asking price was $4K Mz; we bought the first 10 for $22,000. The second ten has much more value as agricultural land and has proven its ability to grow coffee. We agreed to pay $3K /Mz for that piece. I think I could have gotten it for less, the seller had a bad year with his coffee due to the heavy rain, and was deeply in debt to the coffee buyer for funds advanced towards the coffee crop. His house in Condega was also included in the security for the advance.
There is value in good will too.

Roxanne Cordero still gets shaken when she thinks about how Superstorm Sandy impacted her family's life. Her son, Jeremiah, was just 2 weeks old and had just undergone open-heart surgery.
Sandy hit and NYU Langone hospital lost power. Backup generators died, and the hospital was forced to evacuate hundreds of patients including Jeremiah. He was transferred to Columbia Medical Center where he recovered.
Now a year later, he just celebrated his first birthday.
It has been a long road for NYU Langone and Bellevue Hospital, which also had to evacuate after Sandy hit.
NYU gave reporters a tour of its new emergency room that had to be rebuilt since Sandy.
Bellevue's repairs included moving its electrical power vault from the basement to the first floor.
However, the president of city hospitals is urging FEMA to provide money so the hospital can make more changes to prevent possible damage from future storms.

Celebrity Chef Paula Deen -- is she kaput or can she somehow rise above the controversy that surrounds her?
This stems from her admission last week that she used the N-word in the past.
Deen has made three video apologies now, but many agree she missed the mark, saying they were insincere.
Some say those YouTube videos were a bad public relations move. In fact, that this whole situation was handled wrong.
Deen continues to be a top trend on Twitter and fans coming to her defense.
In the meantime, there's a lot of talk about her endorsements after another big company terminated their partnership with her.
"I want people to understand that my family and I are not the kind of people that the press say we are," said Deen.
In less than a week, the southern comfort food queen has taken to the internet to defend her family's reputation.
She's embroiled in a scandal that just won't seem to go away.
It all started when news broke that Deen admitted in a deposition that was part of a lawsuit that in the past, she used racial slurs in the workplace, including the N-word.
She admitted to using the word -- in the past, but chalks it up to quote being, "an old woman" raised in the south.
"I've spent the best of 24 year to help myself and others. Your color of skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me," she said.
But what may matter to her is the professional fallout as her empire continues to crumble.
Smithfield Foods is the latest company to cut ties with the celebrity chef, making the announcement Monday afternoon. Add to that QVC says it is reviewing its deal with Deen Enterprises to sell the star's cookbooks and cookware. In the meantime, they have no plans to have her appear on the network.
Sears says it's exploring its relationship with Deen and her products, as is Walmart, Caesars Entertainment Corp., which has Deen's restaurants in some of its Las Vegas casinos.
And of course the Food Network -- it was the first to distance itself from Deen last Friday, ending its 11 year relationship with her.
Her fans were quick to show their outrage at the network for its decision.
They continue to make their voices heard on the company's Facebook page. One right after another, saying they will stop watching the network, and cancel their subscriptions to the magazine.
Many say she made a mistake and it's time to forgive.
"I try to say I am so sorry I was wrong. Yes I've worked hard and I've made mistakes, but that is no excuse and I offer my sincere apology to those that I have hurt and I hope that you forgive me," said Deen.
