Unexpected Checks Are Legitimate
******Alert #215 ******
At today's meeting of the NC Senior Fraud Task Force, it was mentioned that Wachovia Bank is sending out $150 million in refund checks to consumers whose bank accounts were debited on behalf of fraudulent or deceptive telemarketers earlier this decade. A large percentage of those who will be receiving the checks are older adults. For the past several years, members of our Task Force have warned older consumers to be wary of checks that arrive unexpectedly in the mail. As shown by the press announcement below, these checks are legitimate and consumers who receive them are encouraged to cash them.
For Release: January 13, 2009
FTC Urges Consumers to Cash Restitution Checks Mailed by Wachovia Bank
Checks Sent to More Than 740,000 Telemarketing Fraud Victims
Wachovia Bank, N.A., has mailed out over $150 million in restitution checks to more than 740,000 consumers who were victims of telemarketing fraud.
On December 11, 2008, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced that it had entered into an amended settlement agreement with Wachovia that directed the bank to issue these checks directly to victims. The checks reimburse consumers for funds deducted from their accounts by three payment processors that maintained accounts at Wachovia. See http://www.occ.treas.gov/ftp/release/2008-143.htm and http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/pae/News/Pr/2008/dec/wachoviapayoutrelease.pdf. In addition to the checks, consumers are receiving a claim form they may use to recover bank fees incurred as a result of the allegedly unauthorized debits to their accounts. See http://www.langergrogan.com/WachoviaRestitution.htm. The Wachovia restitution checks are legitimate, and the Federal Trade Commission urges consumers to cash them.
The OCC/Wachovia settlement addresses the use by the payment processors of remotely created checks, or "demand drafts," processed through Wachovia on behalf of allegedly fraudulent telemarketers. The FTC previously sued two of the three payment processors (Your Money Access, LLC, and FTN Promotions, Inc., dba Suntasia Marketing, Inc. (Suntasia)), and the U.S. Department of Justice sued the third (Payment Processing Center, LLC). The FTC also has sued many of the telemarketers who worked with the three processors, including the following cases: 1) FTC v. Universal Premium Services, Civ. No. CV06-0849 (C.D. Cal.); 2) FTC v. Sun Spectrum Communications Organization, Inc., Civ. No. 03-81105 (S.D. Fla.); 3) FTC v. Xtel Marketing, Inc., Civ. No. 04C7238 (N.D. Ill.); 4) FTC v. 120194 Canada, Ltd., Civ. No. 1:04-cv-07204 (N.D. Ill.); 5) FTC v. Oleg Oks, Civ. No. 05C5389 (N.D. Ill.); and 6) FTC v. Frankly Speaking, Inc., Civ. No. 1:05-cv-60 (M.D. Ga.). The FTC's press release on the Your Money Access complaint can be found at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/12/yma.shtm, and the release on the Suntasia complaint can be found at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/07/suntasia.shtm.
Wachovia mailed restitution checks to consumers whose accounts the processors debited with Wachovia's assistance. The OCC/Wachovia agreement does not cover consumers whose accounts the processors debited using banks other than Wachovia. Consumers whose accounts Suntasia debited through other banks, however, will receive restitution as part of the FTC's settlement with Suntasia (see press release at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/01/suntasia.shtm).
The DOJ, OCC, and private class action counsel have set up a Web site and toll-free phone number to address any concerns and questions consumers may have, including questions regarding the validity of the checks they receive from Wachovia Bank. The Web site address is: http://www.restitutionpayment.com and the toll-free number is 1-866-680-6659. Consumers seeking more information can contact the Claims Administrator at: U.S. Court Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 37765, Philadelphia, PA 19101-7765.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,500 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC's Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.

A Shelby County grand jury will hear the case of a woman accused of killing another woman at an Iron Bowl party.
Adrian Briskey is charged with murder in the death of Michelle Shepherd. Wednesday morning Briskey waived her right to a preliminary hearing because her attorney says they have the evidence they need at this point.
The case will now head to a grand jury.
Investigators say Briskey and Shepherd got into an argument after the Iron Bowl. They say the fight escalated in the parking lot of Summerchase at Riverchase apartments.
Witnesses say Briskey shot Shepherd three times.
Briskey's attorney, John Robbins, says at this point the public only knows one side of the story.
"At this point only one side of the story is out. This is not the venue to present our defense or present the full story. The only side of the story right now is the prosecution's side and stay tuned," Robbins said.

The Trollbloods can utilize several elements to tie an army together visually. Skin color is probably the dominant choice. If you read any of the background material on trolls, from either Primal or the Monsternomicon, trolls are very family/tribal oriented. Given tribes, or Kriels, will share dominant physical characteristics it is a small leap to assume all the models from an army are blood related in some way, and will have similar skin tones. Clothing is also an important aspect to tying together a Trollbloods army. Like the Circle there is a lot of leather and fur that can be mismatched between pieces. Trollkin, however, all wear tartans or sashing and this is a great way to tie models within a unit, or even unit within an army together. The third element which I think is important for Trollbloods to use for army cohesion is armor and weaponry. Trollbloods will typically be manufacturing their own armaments, or trading for them, so it is easy to use the same techniques for painting metals across an entire army. With these "rules" established, I proceeded to paint my own Doomshaper, keeping in mind skin tones and armor styles I had previously established with my Trollbloods warpack, and a sashing that I could easily replicate on numerous infantry models if I wanted to.
Here's a tip on painting Trollkin: You do not have to paint tartans. In fact, if you want to blast through units quickly painting tartans is not the way to go. Treating this space as simple sashing will go a long way, and you can use a uniform color to tie units and armies together.
As a side note, I put Hoarluk on a piece of cork for a rocky base. Because of his staff, I angled the cork so that his staff would be pointed upwards and would not later interfere with game play.
This is a list of the colors used:
After assembling all four warlocks, Hoarluk was the only one that required any sort of gap filling. Fortunately, this one is easy, and only requires a little bit of green stuff applied to the left shoulder to arm joint and smoothed out to match the fleshy contours of the shoulder.
The basis for this flesh tone was a more earthy green. For me, the perfect start was VMC Brown Violet, which has a nice muddy green look (despite it's name). The first layer of highlights for this was a 50/50 mix of Brown Violet and VMC Green-Grey. A second highlight of straight Green-Grey was blended in to further the color shift. A spot wash of GAFA Raw Umber was applied to places where there was clear muscle definition, like on the thigh or under the biceps. Finally, a 50/50 mix of VGC Dwarf Flesh and Green-Grey was applied to areas like the knuckles, elbows, knees, and for facial highlights.
The nails were painted with a base of VMC Khaki. Instead of conventional highlights, thin lines were drawn over the base coat in a 50/50 mix of Khaki and white. These lines simulate grain direction in the nails. A second set of thin lines, pure white, was painted at only the ends of the nails.
Speed was of the essence for this stage, so the base was VGC Brassy Brass, and then the metal wash was applied over it. That's it, no highlights or further detailing.
Wanting to keep the black clothing simple, it was started with a base coat of VGC Black. Simple highlights of Reaper Armor grey were added, and these were toned done with the Black Wash mixture.
The sashing was started with a base coat of VMC Burnt Umber. This was washed with the Metal Wash mixture to give it a dark tone, then highlights of pure Burnt Umber were blended back in. A highlight layer of VMC German Cam. Medium Brown was blended on top of that.
Start with a base of VMC Burnt Umber. This was also hit with the Metal Wash, then brought back up to Burnt Umber. Highlights were a progression of Burnt Umber and VMC Buff in increments of 70/30, 40/60, 20/80 Burnt Umber/Buff.
The straps that tie the brass scroll canisters to Hoarluk started with a base coat of Khaki. This was then highlighted with VMC Deck Tan. A wash of thinned down VGC Sepia Ink was added over the surface to tone down the colors, and then a second highlight of Deck Tan was added.
The staff has several steps: The main body, the wood wrapping, and the glowing top.
The main staff body was painted using VMC Khaki as a base, and then darkened with the Metal Wash. Surface areas were then hit with the Khaki again, and highlights of Deck Tan were added.
The wooden wrappings were base coated with Charred Brown. Instead of highlights, wood grain was added by painting grain lines with a 50/50 mix of Charred Brown and Scrofulous Brown, and then again by adding a little bit of white to that mix.
The glowing top was initially base coated with Khaki, and the leather straps were painted with Burnt Umber. Metal Wash was added to darken the recesses. Once dry, VGC Dark Green was washed over the surface. Twice. A wash of Sick Green was added over that, and extended down to some of the wood wrapping surfaces to help with a glow effect. White was added to the Sick Green, at a 50/50 mix, and then washed over the surface again. Finally, a 30/70 mix of Sick Green and White was used to pick out highlights.

The Power and Responsibility of Television Posted July 21, 2009 by Meredith McGehee
As the accolades continue to pour in for CBS newsman Walter Cronkite, many tributes focus on Cronkite's integrity and his commitment to the news. None were faster to embrace him than the networks and their anchors. But watching the old footage of Cronkite in the tributes was a stark contrast and a sad reminder of how far television news coverage has slipped since "Uncle Walter" stepped away from the microphone.

The current presidential race has struck a chord with the American public and driven exceptional turnout at the polls.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
May 25, 2010
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), also known as the economic stimulus package, certain recipients of funds appropriated in ARRA (most grant and loan recipients, contractors, and subcontractors) are required to report the number of jobs they created or retained with ARRA funding after the end of each calendar quarter. The law also requires CBO to comment on those reported numbers. Today CBO released a report to satisfy that requirement.
CBO's Estimates of ARRA's Impact on Employment and Economic Output
Looking at recorded spending to date as well as estimates of the other effects of ARRA on spending and revenues, CBO has estimated the law's impact on employment and economic output using evidence about the effects of previous similar policies on the economy and using various mathematical models that represent the workings of the economy. On that basis, CBO estimates that in the first quarter of calendar year 2010, ARRA's policies:
- Raised the level of real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) by between 1.7 percent and 4.2 percent,
- Lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.7 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points,
- Increased the number of people employed by between 1.2 million and 2.8 million, and
- Increased the number of full-time-equivalent (FTE) jobs by 1.8 million to 4.1 million compared with what those amounts would have been otherwise. (Increases in FTE jobs include shifts from part-time to full-time work or overtime and are thus generally larger than increases in the number of employed workers.)
The effects of ARRA on output and employment are expected to increase further during calendar year 2010 but then diminish in 2011 and fade away by the end of 2012.
Data on actual output and employment during the period since ARRA's enactment are not as helpful in determining ARRA's economic effects as might be supposed, because isolating those effects would require knowing what path the economy would have taken in the absence of the law. Because that path cannot be observed, there is no way to be certain about how the economy would have performed if the legislation had not been enacted, and data on its actual performance add only limited information about ARRA's impact.
Limitations of Recipients' Estimates
CBO's estimates differ substantially from the reports filed by recipients of ARRA funding. Those recipients reported that ARRA funded nearly 700,000 FTE jobs during the first quarter of 2010. Such reports, however, do not provide a comprehensive estimate of the law's impact on employment in the United States. That impact may be higher or lower than the reported number for several reasons (in addition to any issues about the quality of the data in the reports):
- Some of the reported jobs might have existed in the absence of the stimulus package, with employees working on the same activities or other activities.
- The reports filed by recipients measure only the jobs created by employers who received ARRA funding directly or by their immediate subcontractors (so-called primary and secondary recipients), not by lower-level subcontractors.
- The reports do not attempt to measure the number of jobs that may have been created or retained indirectly as greater income for recipients and their employees boosted demand for products and services.
- The recipients' reports cover only certain appropriations made in ARRA, which encompass about one-sixth of the total amount spent by the government or conveyed through tax reductions in ARRA during the first quarter; the reports do not measure the effects of other provisions of the stimulus package, such as tax cuts and transfer payments (including unemployment insurance payments) to individuals.
Consequently, estimating the law's overall effects on employment requires a more comprehensive analysis than the recipients' reports provide.
The report was prepared by Ben Page of CBO's Macroeconomic Analysis Division.

Phillip Island, Australia
2014 Phillip Island Tire Test Day 3 Press Releases
Press releases from the teams, Bridgestone and Dunlop at the end of the three-day tire test at Phillip Island:
2014 Phillip Island Tire Test, Day 3: Lorenzo Fastest As Riders Test Race Endurance
The five factory MotoGP riders and four Moto2 men have wrapped up the test at Phillip Island. The nine riders worked their way through the Sisyphean task of testing the vast mound of tires Bridgestone and Dunlop brought to the test, to assess compounds to be used in the race in October. The weather was very mixed on the final day, making for a more accurate reflection of the conditions likely to prevail during the race, after two days of hot, Australian summer on Monday and Tuesday.
Jorge Lorenzo was fastest man on the day, as he has been throughout the test, though the focus on the final day was on race simulations. Lorenzo did almost complete race distance at a very constant pace, though his teammate Valentino Rossi was faster over a shorter, half race distance run. Dani Pedrosa was forced to cut his race simulation run short with neck pain, brought on by having spent six of the past eight days testing a MotoGP bike. Cal Crutchlow also had to call an early halt to his race simulation, as his front tire suffered problems at the end of 17 laps. The front tires were not an issue at the race last year, this tire test having been called because of issues with the rear tire.

Press releases after the second day of the tire test at Phillip Island:
2014 Phillip Island Tire Test, Day 2: Lorenzo Leads As Riders Narrow Down Tire Selection
The tire test at Phillip Island continues, with a selection of MotoGP and Moto2 riders putting new specs of tires from Bridgestone and Dunlop through their paces in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the fiasco of last October. After the first day of testing, where the riders tested a large selection of various compounds and constructions, the second day of testing concentrated on the tires which showed the most promise from the short runs on Monday.
Though Jorge Lorenzo was fastest on the day, his time was still over a second off the lap record set by Marc Marquez in October. But fast times were less important than tire enduranc, and Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi and Cal Crutchlow all posted long runs towards the end of the day. Pedrosa managed 20 laps, or just over two-thirds race distance, while Rossi and Crutchlow both did runs of half race distance. Lap times were consistent, with little drop off towards the end. Bridgestone were very happy with the data, and have narrowed the selection down to three possible tires, and hoping to leave with just two options for development ready for the race in October. Jordi Torres did a race simulation on the Moto2 Dunlops, but the tire did not produce the lap times which Dunlop had hoped. The data was useful nonetheless, as it provides further input for development.

Marquez To Miss The Phillip Island Test, Will Next Ride At Qatar
Marc Marquez will not ride at the Phillip Island test, scheduled for next week, and will only return to riding at the first race of the season at Qatar. After meeting with Dr Xavier Mir in Barcelona today, Marquez was told it would be better to rest and recuperate as fully as possible before attempting to ride a MotoGP bike again.
The decision to wait until the race at Qatar also settles a potential argument over testing at Phillip Island and Qatar. HRC had been contemplating sending Marquez to test with the satellite and Open class riders at Qatar, rather than the factory riders at Phillip Island, where they are testing tires for Bridgestone. Honda asked Race Direction for permission to allow Marquez to test at Qatar, but Yamaha and Ducati lodged an objection.
The split between factory and non-factory testing had been agreed at the end of last year, to give Bridgestone a chance to test tires, but Yamaha and Ducati feared that Marquez would gain an unfair advantage if he was allowed to test at Qatar just a week ahead of the season opener. If Marquez was to test at Qatar, Yamaha said, then Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi would test at Qatar as well, abandoning the tire test.
2014 MotoGP Calendar Finalized, Brazil Dropped, Aragon Moved
The FIM has today released the final, official version of the 2014 MotoGP calendar. As expected, the Brazil round has been dropped, after it became clear that construction work at the Autodromo Nelson Piquet in Brasilia would not be completed in time for the September round. To ease the congestion in that part of the season, the date of the Aragon round has now been pushed back a week, and will take place on 28th September, the date originally scheduled for Brazil.
The dropping of the Brazil round had been expected almost from the moment it was placed on the schedule. There were serious doubts that the circuit would be able to make the necessary changes in time for September 2014, and teams were informed of the doubts which Dorna and IRTA had. The inclusion of Brazil was a statement of intent, with both Dorna and the manufacturers keen to return to South America, as both Brazil and Argentina are key markets. Actually racing in Brazil will depend one of the circuits still in the country being able to make the necessary modifications to make it safe enough for Grand Prix motorcycles.
Below is the official, finalized version of the 2014 MotoGP calendar:

Burriana Beach is located blissfully close to both the sea and the Espadan Mountains. The stunning beaches of the Costa del Sol are so close to the holiday accommodation of Burriana Beach, but there is so much more to discover here without much travel and a climate which makes taking a Burriana Beach holiday rental a blissful retreat all year round.
The best beaches in the Nerja area are undoubtedly those at Burriana Playa and Carabeo, although there are a huge number of places to enjoy around a holiday villa in Burriana Beach, not only for their coastline, but due to an array of factors.
Just a few minutes walk from Burriana Beach lies the pueblo blanca style complex of Capistrano Playa. A beautiful, peaceful destination nestled in the hills above Burriana Beach, Capistrano Playa has its own ornamental lake, luxury villa accommodation and excellent access to the Balcony of Europe.
Chimenea and Pueblo Mediterraneo are both within easy walking distance of Burriana Playa. These tasteful, peaceful village complexes are perfect destinations for those who would like a combination of stunning beaches, magnificent peace, and excellent facilities, activities and restaurants within easy walking distance of their Burriana Beach holiday rental villa.
Away from the famous beach of Burriana Playa, Burriana Beach offers a huge amount in the way of historical, gastronomic and cultural heritage. When you first arrive in your Burriana Beach holiday rental, a brisk climb up the 51 metre Bell Tower will give you a spectacular view across the Plana region, and allow you to get your bearings. The gothic San Salvador Church and the Municipal Arts Centre at La Merce Convent are also worth visiting. The most photographed feature of a Burriana Beach villa holiday is the picturesque Clot de la Mare de Deu Estuary.
The location of Burriana Beach on the coastline, enables a Burriana Beach holiday rental to be used as a base for a range of water sports. Equipment and instruction for windsurfing, sailing, fishing, scuba diving and day cruises can be found on Burriana Playa. Burriana Playa is the largest and one of the most picturesque in the Nerja area of the Costa del Sol.
A holiday rental in Burriana Beach is one of the sunniest places in Europe, blessed with over 320 days of sunshine every year. July and August see temperatures reaching above 31˚C, perfect for beach holidays or taking a luxury Burriana Beach holiday rental with a pool. Winters remain mild, rarely dropping below 10˚C.
Cheap flights to Burriana Beach land at Malaga Airport (AGP) from a huge range of British Airports. easyJet, Monarch and Ryanair all offer regular deals, making a Burriana Beach apartment that little bit closer!

D12, an initialism for The Dirty Dozen, is an American hip hop group from Detroit, Michigan. D12 has had chart-topping albums in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. D12 was formed in 1996, and achieved mainstream success after Eminem rose to international fame. D12 released the album Devil's Night in 2001 and D12 World in 2004, spawning numerous hits such as "Fight Music", "Purple Pills", "My Band", "How Come" and "Shit on You" throughout that period. Since 2006, Eminem's hiatus and the death of the member Proof resulted in them being less active in subsequent years.

it Shrinks a lot!! I got the 90" x 52". I washed it in warm water (how can you get a tablecloth clean in cold water?) and machine dried it. It shrunk 11" in length (to 79") and 5" in width (to 47") My picnic table (pretty standard) is 28" x 71" -- so now it barely covers the ends. I got the round 70" one and after washing it is 62". Napkins that were 17" are now 15" Other than the huge shrinking problem and the fact that the tablecloth barely covers my table, I like them. May 16, 2014

Extremism in the Defense of Vineyards Is No Joke, I GuessPosted by Fredric Koeppel under Biodynamism , Germany , Organic grapes and wines , Riesling
[8] Comments
The advocates of biodynamic methods of agriculture range from the mildly committed, who employ bio-dy techniques selectively and ignore the mumbo-jumbo aspects, to disciples for whom the words of Rudolf Steiner and Nicolas Joly are gospel.
The last part of that sentence, or something similar, was much on my mind late in the afternoon of Wednesday, July 8, as the group I was with paid a visit to Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn, one of the most highly regarded estates in Germany's Rheingau region. The winery, situated at the outskirts of the incredibly charming village of Oestrich, offers nothing fancy and neither do the unpretentious Peter Jakob Kühn and his wife Angela, who are friendly and down-to-earth, though she is more forthcoming than he, who is the shyer of the couple. (She is a former German Wine Queen.) Both, however, are passionate about their 18-hectare estate (a bit less than 47 acres) and the wines they produce.
PJK has been certified organic since 2004 and this year became a member of Demeter, the organization that certifies biodynamic estates. Much of what Peter Jakob Kühn does in the vineyard, along with being scrupulously meticulous, seems like common sense. Compost the vineyards with estate-produced materials in the Spring. Plant crop cover between vine rows in the Summer and in the Spring plow it under. Avoid chemical nutrients. Apply minimal pressure in the winery; stainless steel and large barrels for riesling, with a light filtration. Anyone could do that.
Peter Jakob, also, however, follows many of the stipulations of biodynamic agriculture as laid down by Rudolph Steiner in his famous lectures of 1924: horn compounds of manure and silica; teas of horsetail, stinging nettle and chamomile to spray on the vines; careful consideration of the phases of the moon to supplement the "movement" of the wine, including during bottling.
We stood with Angela Kühn by a vineyard that sweeps up to one side of the winery, accompanied by the winery's 13-year-old Labrador, Acino. Here's where things got a little sticky. One of the group mentioned that the rows did not have great shoots springing from the tops of the vines; were they cut back?
"No," said Angela, "in the best parcels, we don't cut the tops of the stems to give a message to the vines that no one wants to damage them and cut off their lives. If you cut the stems, it creates a sense of urgency and power because their lives are in danger, and they want to regenerate the next generation. This pushes the sugar level up. By not cutting the stems, by reducing the stress and gently tying the stems back" — the stems are wreathed along the top of the row and tied with soft but durable material — "we create a more balanced wine. Vineyards that get not only care and concern but love, we feel the vines will profit from it."
This is the point where I throw my notebook and pen into the air and say, "Oh, please!" Not really, because my mother taught me better, but come on, the vines think their lives are in danger if you cut the stems? You have to love the vines, not just take care of them? Does the same principle apply to tomato plants and rutabagas? Amber waves of grain? Corn as high as an elephant's eye?
But these are sweet and gentle people, and their attempts to live and work in harmony with nature are touching, and the wines they produce, which is really the issue here, well, the wines are pretty damned wonderful. (And all the wines are closed with screw-caps.)
Take, for example, PJK's basic wine, the Jacobus Riesling trocken 2008, made in stainless steel. My notes: "Big, ripe, fleshy; yellow plums, camellia, honeysuckle; intense, concentrated, seductive; full, lively, dynamic; v. spicy; crushed stones, pulverized slate and gravel; really great." The price in Germany is 8.60 euros, or about $12.50. An amazing wine for the price. Jacobus is named for the founder of the estate, Jacobus Kühn, who started making wine here in 1786.
The next level is the stainless steel Quarzit Riesling trocken 2008, and the name tells it all. My notes: "V. stony, v. pure and intense, v. spicy; yellow flowers, yellow fruit, stone fruit; huge hit of minerals, slate and limestone; v. dry, crisp, vibrant, austere." This is, one admits, a little demanding; it needs a year or two. 13.90 euro, about $19.50 to $20.
We tried two of PJK's top rieslings. The Oestrich Doosberg 2007, aged in 2,400-liter barrels, is a brilliant medium gold color; the wine is intense and concentrated, coiled like a steel spring, offering incredible energy and nerve and verve; it's very ripe, very spicy, sleek and lithe and racy, and could stand to mature for two or three years before being opened, or you could wait until 2015 to '17 and see how it develops. Extraordinary. Not surprisingly, the price goes up at this point, 26.60 euros, about $37.50. The Mittelheim St. Nikolaus Riesling 2005 — current release is '07 — is powerful and earthy and exotic, an eloquent expression of pure minerality with hints of petrol, jasmine, crystallized ginger and a touch of banana, all leading to a finish that's almost brutal with granite and limestone. This too needs a few years, say 2011 or '12 through 2016 or '17. 24.60 euros, about $34.75.
Finally, there was the Oestrich Lenchen Riesling Spätlese 2008, a pale gold-colored wine of piercing minerality that offered subtle touches of lemon, lemon curd and peach, a wine delicately sweet, winsomely floral and sustained by such a surge of acidic nervosity that the glass feels electrified in your hand, and then from mid-palate back the whole package turns startlingly dry and austere. A lovely and slightly challenging riesling that needs a year or two in the bottle. 18.30 euros, about $26.
So, at this point, Readers, you're saying, perhaps rather smugly, damn your eyes, "Ah ha, F.K., now you have to revise your negative opinion of biodynamism and admit that it works!" Well, what I will say is that Peter Jakob Kühn is a brilliant winemaker and that he certainly makes brilliant wines, making that judgment on a brief exposure. If biodynamic methods in the vineyard contribute to this brilliance, then I will say that, yes, the principles work here. I wonder though: If Peter Jakob Kühn did not bottle his wines "in a diminishing phase of the moon," would they be any less brilliant? If he did not spray with, say, the horsetail compound, would the wines be less compelling? Would Peter Jakob Kühn — meticulous, thoughtful, hard-working and attentive — not make brilliant wines under any circumstances?
The wines (or some of them) of Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn are imported to the U.S. by Domaine Select Wine Estates.

I Think I'll Try a Chinese Medicine Doctor ...
Meredith: Normally, I would be counting the days until ovulation. However, this month I am going to try to be less consumed by "O Day." I am going to prepare my mind and body for it without fixating on it. Let's just say I am going to be zen about it this month. Or at least, attempt to be. I am going to try a few different things to get pregnant that I have heard about and a few of my own ideas. For the record, I am not a zen, feng shui, yoga type of person. I may break some of the zen rules, but I am going to do it my way. I am going to start each day by simply relaxing and doing a quick meditation. I will attempt to eat as healthy as I can (I will limit my fast-food intake to only 3 OK 4 days a week). I'm trying, alright?!? I am going to continue working out and kickboxing.
I am also going to try a Chinese Medicine doctor for acupuncture (I already have an appointment). I never thought that getting needles put in different places on my body could get me pregnant, but it's worth a try. By the way ... where do those needles go? I hope it doesn't hurt. I have heard from a lot of ladies that swear by acupuncture and many that have gotten pregnant as a result.
Now don't laugh ... I am also going to a psychic. Like I said...I am going to try a few different things. I must admit I am a Psychic Virgin. I have always thought that the people that go to psychics are a little weird. Now, I will be one of them. My husband does not like the idea and thinks I am messing with the devil. Trust me ... I am not "dark sided." I just want to see if the psychic can see a baby in my future. Is that so wrong? Regardless, I am going.
The way I see it is, whatever works or may work I am willing to give a shot. If you have anything you did to get pregnant that worked for you, let me know. I am open to trying new things.

With Windows 9 rumored to be coming out early next year, there's little reason for businesses just transitioning off Windows XP to ever deploy Windows 8, experts say.
With a user learning curve, hardware update, and apps compatibility all posing potential hurdles to Windows 8 adoption, most businesses transitioning from Windows XP will likely wind up using Windows 7 as their new platform of choice, says Shawn Allaway, CEO of Converter Technology, which specializes in migrating businesses to new versions of Windows and Microsoft Office.
[ Also on InfoWorld: What do we want? Windows 9 -- sorry, Windows 8 | Don't believe the lies about Windows XP's imminent death | Microsoft's new direction, the touch interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7 -- InfoWorld covers all this and more in the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
In fact, none of Converter's clients has chosen Windows 8 as an XP upgrade, he says.
+[ Also on Network World: Prediction: Windows 9 will hit the market in 2014 | China prefers to stick with dying Windows XP rather than upgrade | Microsoft opens headquarters for digital crime fighters ]+
With Windows 7 supported until Jan. 14, 2020, that leaves time for another version or two of Windows beyond Windows 8 to emerge that could be less jarring, he says.
Business customers aren't swayed by new features and interfaces, he says. "They're looking for stability, not necessarily the cutting edge," says Allaway. "Once an operating system is stable and locked down they fight hard to keep it there as long as they can."
Businesses have to worry that their legacy line-of-business applications render properly to a touchscreen interface like Windows 8's and want to avoid having to rewrite those apps, Allaway says.
Running apps in a virtual environment on Windows 8 machines gets around apps compatibility, says Scott Dowling, Microsoft Architect for En Pointe Technologies, which provides businesses with hardware, software, and IT services.
Dowling says that when he worked for Microsoft last year, if the sales team he worked with talked up Windows 8 to enterprise customers, they would buy it 80 percent of the time; otherwise it was 50-50. That doesn't say whether they actually deployed Windows 8, just that they licensed enough instances to cover their entire business, he says.
He says hardware wasn't much of an issue in their decision making. Most customers had already upgraded their PCs to devices that were far beyond the minimum Windows 8 requirements.

Pocket Hose promises to expand and contract itself so you don't have to lug around a heavy hose, but Does It Work?
Terry Ervin and his son, Terry Jr., both want to see if the shrinking, self-coiling Pocket Hose could help make chores easier. Terry Jr. waters his new dog daily, and in the cold temperatures, this hose could make things go faster.
First, we turn on the water. Just like the commercial shows, the hose starts immediately expanding. It expands to about 50 feet, as promised, and has no trouble spraying water. However, Terry Jr. has a bit of trouble turning the water off with the adapter at the end.
Next, the big claim is "Pocket Hose recoils itself to its original size so you don't have to carry a heavy hose around your yard."
We let the pressure out, as directed, and watch to see if this hose returns to its small size where we can "fit it into a pocket." It contracts, but not enough to even reach the original spot where we're standing. That means we're still going to have to wind it back up, just like a regular hose.
"It's no different than a regular hose. It has the fun factor, one time. I wouldn't buy it. It's not made of material that's going to last a long time either," said Ervin.
It looks like it's back to carrying buckets of water for Terry Jr.
We'll pass on the Pocket Hose, even though it does do half of what it claims. It earns a 'C-' on this Does It Work test.

DAMASCUS -- Local hoops teams had been on break during the holidays but action resumed Monday with the first game of 2010 when the Byne Christian girls basketball team downed SGA, 57-32, while the late game between the boys fell in the Warriors' favor as SGA rolled, 56-41.
Leading the way for the Lady Saints in their game were four players in double figures: Heather Horne and Katie Phillips, both of whom led all scorers with 15 points each. Trellie Padgett added 13, while Hannah Hughes scored 10.
SGA was led by Kyndal Andrews' 12 points.
For the Boys, Parker Adams led SGA with 14, followed by Andrew Stone and Danny Doster both dropped in 12.
Kasey Sanders led Byne with a game-high of 14 and Josh Hughes added 10, but it wasn't enough to stop from the Warriors (3-6) from picking up their third win of the year.
SGA now gets set for its region opener today against Valwood.

These are really cute. They remind me of the ones that my mother used to make for me when i was little. I loved the matching clothes and i don't see many funny adult costumes these days. I think that we should dare more when it comes to our wardrobe.

I think it was the best Fashion Night Out ever, and I'm not kidding! The people were there, the media coverage was excellent, even the hip new kids with the electronic disposable cigarette T-shirts were there. I love it and I plan to go to the next edition too..

I plan to take on a diet this summer so I can finally fit into one of those cheerleading uniforms my boyfriend likes so much for Halloween. I know it sounds a bit silly but I think it's important to stay fit and to keep an open mind to fashion suggestions, especially from your lover.

Thank you for providing this great and interesting post. I like fashion a lot and I am trying to keep the steps with the new trends in order to look great. Recently I've attended a fashion event in Florence and I bought a lot of dresses there.

This contest will help the host website, Jackson Casino get a lot of social media attention and organic traffic. That is efficient advertising because real advertising would cost the owner a great deal of money.

If you feel that your family efforts are not enough you can always turn to a health department to ask for help. It is okay to do that and you shouldn't feel guilty for wanting this. I find it very normal in our era to change the steps of taking care of someone. You shouldn't always share bathroom with teens.

I love fashion and shopping and everything related to it. I want to be as colorful as I can get this summer, achieve as many outfits close to electric hues even. I wonder how can you find cool graphic tees at BrooklynTShirtFactory.com. I think I never visited the part of the website that I had to, because I see all my friends wearing cool stuff from there but I never reached to see their sales catalog.

I am a big fan of the Stuck on You items. I find them jolly and refreshing, though I see no one dares to wear them at exquisite events. I would dare, to be honest, after I accessorize myself with a vintage classy bag and a necklace.

I have already a personal trainer, but other advice don't bother me. I am too skinny, I always was that way and I want to gain some pounds. My trainer recommended me about renting a car for a couple of months. In this way muscle mass increase, not the fat. What do you say about this advice?

However, there is a real danger that in explaining so much the theory actually explains nothing. This is the core of the philosophical doubt facing Darwinism. An example of the perils of 'explaining too much' can be seen in the notion of adaptation. When a biologist finds a creature with an intricate and useful adaptation-such as the chameleon's ability to change colour to match its background-he immediately explains it in terms of natural selection and evolution. In fact the existence of such adaptations is frequently taken as proof of the power of selection. But what will the biologist say when he finds a similar lizard without this camouflage adaptation? The chances are he will conclude that such an adaptation is unnecessary for the survival of the second lizard, or that selection has not been strong enough to 'create' it. Both of these conclusions may be valid- they seem reasonable enough-but we are tempted now to ask him what sort of evidence would contradict the idea of selection? If the presence of adaptations is evidence for selection, but the absence of adaptations is not evidence against selection, then is it possible to deny the existence of selection at all? In other words if selection can explain everything then it really explains nothing. Good scientific theories should be testable and even falsifiable. You should Use Digital Patient Engagement.

Memorial services are always tough but it doesn't mean that they can't be wonderful gathering places for people.With the right vessel vanity and flowers setting, people could take their mind of things and enjoy a good company and forget about grief. I really love some businesses from my town.

I hope that they have a peo company to take care of the working group. whenever some young people are hired to do hard work, even that they have the will and the power to do that work, they get tired or bored easily or they can become jealous on each other. So somone to keep an eye on them is the best investment that a company can do for it's employees. I think that challenging healthcare is very healthy.

When you are a mom and especially when you have a toddler you don't have time to clean every inch of the house right away after you used it.You have to bridge loans, your husband and you nanny or whoever takes care of your child when you are not there. Splitting the chores is the only way to keep your house clean and germ free.

This is a good idea but I don't know how great the best street art in Berlin going to be. I mean look at the times we live in, we don't even get rid of the garbage ourselves, we have to contact rubbish removal NJ to do the job for us, not to mention recycling in real life.

Tax fraud is that kind of fraud that involves many people and no one ever gets to donate a car on time. Having business partners can have its advantages, take an affiliate network for example, but it's also risky because you can never know very well the persons around you. Anyway, apparently some partnerships are meant for illegal things, which I'm not very comfortable with.

Safety is the most important thing for me, especially when it comes to my children. Safety comes first and only after I consider the car safe enough for the kids I think of the model, of how cool it looks. I guess this is how women think. My husband seems to be more interested in the style. He would look for Mercedes Benz parts all day long if he could. I need to write a text message to my mother these days.

He is a very smart guy with realistic views. I think it's true that some college students need this type of training. They will need to do something in order to earn money and given the unemployment rate at the moment, I guess their expectations of getting a good job are not high. I got a masters in nursing online degree and I'm still looking for a job! I know a place with free organ recitals.

As far as I'm concerned extra-juridical murder is still murder. I have the feeling that it happens a lot in these underdeveloped countries, which is awful. Someone should do a background check on the cop who killed this guy. I've heard about policemen with quite a disturbing history. Of course I'm just saying; I don't know much about these procedures.

I don't even want to imagine the proportions of the disaster. The cuts in the budget have to stop at some point, I wonder when. All they want is to reduce costs but there are people suffering as a consequence of their actions. Of course, they don't give too much importance to these details. They should learn how to administer the state's finances. I would eat a cheese burger.

I love the way they all dressed for this event. I am a fashion critic and I have to attend plenty of fashion events all through the year. Recently I attended one event which focused on showcasing the latest trend in jeans for men. I loved the new ideas and I think that it is worth spending money on these jeans.

Baden Theatre
8201 North Broadway,
St. Louis,
4 people favorited this theater
Showing 5 comments
Steve Kaimann was my great-grandfather. The company was Kaimann Amusement Co. At least two of his sons were in the business with him. His son William (my grandfather) ran the Bremen; another son, Clarence (my great-uncle) ran the Bridge, and also owned the North Twin Drive-In, as well as the property where Christian Hospital NE now sits.
We saw the building but it was already closed(1965) by the time I saw it 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's…No theatre.
Baden always felt like it's own little town. Other buildings around it continued for awhile. Arlens department store was there into the later 1970's—I went to the closing sale. School uniforms and other little stores were there for a while. A few re-sale shops and antique stores were there for decades. Bars were still there. Sterling Grocery store was there for a time. The Hostess bakery outlet was well known on Broadway. The neighborhood was 92%-95% African-American for many decades. Plus people who lived in Walnut Park and Mark Twain neighborhoods made the journey through Calvery and Bella Fountaine cemetaries to reach Baden.
Almost all businesses on the far remote edges of North St. Louis pulled some old sustaining business from the more well-to-do prior residents who fled to the county. This sustained them, briefly. Ultimately, centers for the purchase of goods or entertainment pressed farther out. Income is very low and although there may have been over 100,000 at times in that zone, no theatres existed in that half of the city limits.
Baden is not far from the North Twin drive-in. North Twin was the ultimate surviver in this area staying open till 2001 that was in Jennings, North St. Louis County. I loved it. It is probably the closest shared experience of theatre to children who lived in a 95%-99% African-American ethnic North St. Louis City and counties and the prior Caucasian residents of North St. Louis who left North St. Louis closing down the theatres in 1950's to 1960's. Why? It is one of the few that stayed open that was in range.
Typically if you lived in North St. Louis City even as a child in the last half century you do not remember a theatre that closed 48 years ago. I do remember the building. Baden was always nice.
I mispoke when giving an opening year of 1916…it should have been 1926. Trade papers noted the construction contract in November 1925.
The other hardtop in the area was the Hoffman/Baden Family at 8237 N. Broadway which was listed in the 1911 City Directory.
Indeed, the Baden at 8201 replaced an airdome which had opened in 1921.
As well, there had been an earlier airdome at 8414 N. Broadway which had opened in 1915.
There might have been two houses called the Baden Theatre. The September 19. 1925, issue of The Reel Journal had an item about a proposed theater on North Broadway in St. Louis:
"Steve Kaiman, owner of the O'Fallon and Baden theatres in North St. Louis plans to build a new theatre at 8200 North Broadway, a block from the Baden. The new house will cost about $75,000 and seat 800 persons. The plans call for a two-story building, 60 by 130 feet. Contractors will be asked to submit bids on the construction work this week. Theodore Steinmeyer, International Life building, is the architect."Darren Snow's CinemaTour page about the Baden Theatre says that the house opened in 1927, and was built on the site of a theater called the Baden Airdome, which had been in operation at 8201 Broadway since at least 1920. The magazine article gives the address of the proposed house as 8200 Broadway, which would be across the street from the actual location of the Baden, but that might have simply been an error.
Also interesting is the statement that the new theater's site was "…a block from the Baden." Perhaps that house a block away was the theater that opened in 1916, or perhaps it was the Airdome that opened in 1916. Either way, it seems likely that the existing Baden Theatre building was built in the mid-1920s, not 1916, though judging from the architectural style it could have been built in either year.
Theatre operated from 1916 to 1965. Seating capacity of 939.

Red April marks the English-language debut of the Peruvian novelist Santiago Roncagliolo, and it has the benefit of bearing the name Edith Grossman, who has garnered international acclaim for her vibrant translations of Don Quixote and every Gabriel García Márquez book since 1988's Love in the Time of Cholera.
Unfortunately, that's the only way Roncagliolo's novel, a tepid religious thriller set during the Fujimori regime in turn-of-the-millennium Peru, will get mentioned in such illustrious company.
Our hero is Felix Chacaltana Saldivar, a mousy associate district prosecutor in Ayacucho so committed to his duties that he's more loyal to the letter of the law than to his actual bosses. Protocol dictates the prosecutor's every move; when he spied a suspect jumping out a window to avoid questioning, Chacaltana "thought that pursuit was the responsibility of the National Police, and if he ran after the man, he could be liable for usurpation of duties.…He considered his official activities over for the day."
One book Chacaltana hasn't studied, however, is the Bible, which is bad news indeed when a freshly revived network of communist terrorists starts murdering people in ways that eerily mirror the town's massive Holy Week celebrations. Indifferent superiors dump the case on the hapless prosecutor's desk, leaving him to wade through nationwide corruption and an increasingly disfigured string of corpses to try to make sense of things.
The story has a basic intrigue to it, but Roncagliolo writes every scene with his foot on the gas, zipping from one crime scene to the next and generating boilerplate descriptions like "Pacheco looked at him with hatred" and "his last words cut Chacaltana like a knife".
For all the novel's talk about Ayacucho as a place between heaven and hell, law and chaos, life and death, it's somehow fitting that Red April itself exists in a kind of liminal space: too caught up in religious spookery to work as a strait-laced detective novel, and too grounded in logic to sell a mystery involving symbology and amateur crucifixions.
Translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman. Pantheon, 288 pp, $28.95, hardcover

The Hunger Games By: Suzanne Collins
Katniss Everdeen has been the "man" of the household ever since her father died in a mining accident. Now, it is just her, her mom, and her sister, Primrose. Every year, there is an event called 'The Hunger Games.' Two representatives, one boy and one girl, are chosen from each of the 12 districts to partake. Beginning when you are twelve, you get one entry. Then, each year until you are 18, you get another entry. However, if you want a year's supply of food, you can put another entry in, one for each family member. When Judgement Day comes to decide the representatives, tragedy strikes the Everdeen family. First, Peta Mellmark is chosen from district 12. Then, the girl from district 12 is Primrose Everdeen. Instead of letting her sister die, Katniss steps in for her.
Now, Katniss has to fight 23 other boys and girls until she is the last one standing. But, she falls in love with one particular boy.
—K.D. (age 13)

During the holidays, brands compete for people's attention more than at any other time of year. Trying to wave down shoppers in a crowded commercial space can make it tempting to veer off message in favor of a short-term focus on holiday-speckled dollar signs.
Brands with strong identities inherently have strong messaging. That is, they have a knack for telling people what they stand for in a consistent and inspirational way. For example, if you invited Nike to a dinner party, it wouldn't drone on about its latest shoe technology for runners. It would talk about how everyone around the table has the potential to be an athlete. That's Nike's message.
Retailers that stick to their messaging do it because they understand their brand is a more powerful driver than discounts and deals alone. Anthropologie speaks to the idea that clothes transport women to a world of fanciful delight. That message underlies all of its communications and rings true even as it introduces its holiday collection, "a rather giddysome collection of wants & wishes, oohs & aahs, fancies & finery and just about everything one's heart could possibly desire."
E-commerce design curator Fab also doubles down on its message that design creates space for people to be adventurous and bold with invitations like "let it all hang out." It's a cheeky way of introducing their take on modern holiday décor.

Staying on message during the holiday frenzy is more challenging for others. A few months ago, T-Mobile announced its rebrand with fists up, declaring, "Ladies and gentlemen, T-mobile has left the clueless-cellular-company building."
Its messaging platform of challenging the status quo, however, is more difficult to find in its holiday campaign, which focuses on seasonal deals, "great gift ideas for everyone," and "T-mobile wish lists." CEO John Legere, who's popular for provoking his competition on Twitter, throws most of the blows through his personal account, but this feisty spirit isn't reflected in the brand's holiday messaging.<p/>

While we can't deny the importance of ringing up as many sales as possible, it's the brands who take the opportunity to flex their messaging chops and remind shoppers what they stand for that will turn customers into brand evangelists, long after the holiday season is over.
Do the brands you relate to tell a story you appreciate? What about those messages appeals to you?
