Dave, Short response: (a) you are picking up on points I've already agreed to change but which aren't reflected in the document. (The document revision you cite is not intended to be a candidate for review since it can change at any time, and as such is not a version that has been lodged in www-archive. Apart from a slip in the initial announcement, I've tried to cite only stable document revisions.) (b) There is an issue in contention concerning which I've already asked for wider WG input. Details below...

I've already accepted the principle of changing this text, which isn't currently reflected in the document revision you cite, and asked for wider WG input on the matter of mentioning the striped syntax. -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0196.html My case is this: I think the striped syntax and RDF-as-XML are worth mentioning, because in my perception and experience they represent a strong rationale for the XML serialization syntax being the way it is. This is based on my RDF learning experience with CC/PP: simply stating the various allowed forms of RDF syntax left me confused, but recognizing the way they reflect some common XML usage it was much easier to understand. If others don't agree with my perception then I'll pull the material, but currently this is running at the level of a personal disagreement which I don't think is grounds to make the change. >[[ > 2.4.3 XML serialization syntax > > RDF has a specific serialization syntax based on XML.

Your personal work may be interesting, but >promoting the latter above the recommended syntax isn't useful to >people looking for definitive pointers. Again, I've already agreed to add the syntax citation here and look for an alternative more widely recognized example to cite, which isn't currently reflected in the document version you are referencing. Here's the alternative reference I propose: RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/specification.html (In many ways, I think that's a superior example, because it illustrates the evolution of an XML-based format to the wider, more expressive world of RDF metadata - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/specification.html#s2 - and it illustrates very simply that adopting RDF need not be a painful exercise.) This appears in a sub-section headed "Concepts", and I think this is a useful concept to mention. Again, if the group thinks it's inappropriate, I'll pull the material. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <email@example.com>Received on Friday, 2 August 2002 07:44:38 UTC

text: My Model S is almost at 40K miles. I decided to charge it to 100 percent and see how many miles it charges to. Drained the battery down to 22 miles remaining before plugging in Added 234 miles = 69 kWh I'm very happy with the battery life! The battery is definitely not an issue with the model s, ... just wish they can figure out the drive unit issues. Although after my last replacement in January, it's been running perfectly!

Here is what we ate today....
Breakfast - Smoothies. Spinach, frozen mixed berries, 2 raw egg yolks and probiotics.
Lunch - Chipotle with Uncle Blake
Snack - Synergy Kombucha. I have never tried the strawberry flavor before. Absolutely love it, so did the kids.
Dinner - Salad. Lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, hard boiled egg, bacon. This was a perfect salad for a hot afternoon.
Family Home Evening Treat - Cookies! Gluten free, dairy free, high protein, and absolutely fantastic! These cookies are some of the very best I've ever had.
High Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 jar almond butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup sweetener (I went nuts and used brown sugar)
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (I used the gluten/dairy free kind)
1 tbsp vanilla
Mix everything together. Cook for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. I always pull them out of the oven before they look quite done...they will keep cooking on the cookie sheet. Let them sit and cool for a few minutes, because they will crumble if you don't.
Exercise - Blake got great exercise today, running sprints with the kids. I got exercise trying to keep up with them and take pictures. All in all, this was one of the best days ever.

Nail Art // The Digit-al Dozen Does Paper: Baroque Sheet Music Nails
I feel like this week I'm alternative complicated looks with simple looks, which I am totally okay with. Today I have a more simple look for you - just some bold black on white stamping that is supposed to inspire the idea of Baroque-period sheet music. :) That fits for the theme of 'Paper,' right?
I started off with my new favourite white base - Ceramic Glaze Pure. It takes one to two coats for full opacity, and dries fairly quickly! Then I stamped on the designs with Ceramic Glaze Little Black Dress and my new Moyra Stamping Plate No. 108 (the same one I used for this crossword mani earlier this week).
I tried so hard to make my lines straight, and I think I was a bit more successful this time! It's just so hard with those delicate images, you know?
I'm still debating what kind of look I want to do for tomorrow, so if you have ideas throw them at me!
Thanks for visiting! xx

These look lovely!ReplyDelete
I love the look of those musical notes.ReplyDelete
This is really pretty! Also - one of my favorite words is Baroque. I love the cheesy lines with it. I'm glad you didn't "baroque" a nail before doing this mani. <3 :)ReplyDeleteReplies
HA! This is my favourite comment EVER!Delete
I really really love them, I must get me some musical notes stamping plates 'cause I need this mani!ReplyDelete
Very pretty!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments! Even if I don't get a chance to reply I read and appreciate each and every one of them!! <3

This is a reader review, sent in by Mary. Mary requested some ideas for coffee creamer. She had already tried most of the milk alternative options on the market (almond, hemp, oat, etc.), but just wasn't satisfied. I suggested that she try MimicCreme, and as you can see from Mary's response, it worked like a dream. Note that MimicCreme does offer a Coffeer Creamer too, but Mary ordered the MimicCreme Unsweetened Cream Substitute for her coffee …
"The MimicCreme arrived from Amazon.com today. The verdict: AMAZING!!!
I believe that this product is one that will enable those who would genuinely like to go vegan to do so. I can see utilizing this in so many dishes that call for fresh dairy cream; MimicCreme is unsurpassed in texture — I didn't think I'd ever find anything that complimented good coffee the way organic and/or raw milk does.
The MimicCreme works really well with coffee as it is extremely rich in texture, and it compliments the coffee in creating the cafe au lait shading that is so inviting in many coffee drinks, both hot and cold. Additionally, MimiCreme froths nicely, even as it is rich and heavy in texture.
Hopefully, purchasing volume will eventually drive down the rather considerable per unit cost as time goes on, making it more affordable and viable as a daily substitute for families having lactose-intolerance and other dairy issues.
Thank you so much for this lead; I will be telling others."
MimicCreme Unsweetened Ingredients: Purified Water, Almonds, Cashews, Sodium Bicarbonate, Rice Starch, Non-Iodized Salt
This is a third party review by Alisa Fleming, author of Go Dairy Free: The Guide & Cookbook and Go Dairy Free Viewer, Mary. Go Dairy Free always welcomes reviews from readers, simply email us.

Discovering unique game in the market is quite difficult, especially looking for one with great quality. Some games come with pretty basic game mechanics which isn't that amusing or interesting. Some comes with short in-game story so the players couldn't enjoy the game for a long time even though it has great potential to be people's choice. So, it's not often for me to find games that fit my preference (and probably others' as well) at all specifications.
At one point, I found this game called Barcode Knight developed by Magic Cube. FYI, at this point, I'm not really able to distinguish between indie or giant developers, but I'll just go with it. So, at the beginning of this games review I said that I'm gonna review some indie developers' products, but I might do giant devs as well without me knowing it :D. Back to the game, Barcode Knight is a nostalgic game from me that reminds me of some old video games I've ever played before.
This game is basically RPG, a quite complex mechanics. You can forge weapons or armors by combining items. Actually what you can do is upgrading it by waiting certain amount of time to finish. However, you can only combine item of the same type, so it's kinda need quite amount of grinding or so. By upgrading you'll gain more strength or movement speed, which I'll tell you later about movement speed for battle.
Another great thing is the avatar system. By changing your equip, your character will also change attire, or simply changing avatar. This makes Barcode Knight to be more interesting game especially for players who love more personified customization (e.g. : having different avatar/able to change hair color/changing name/etc). I'm that kind of player. People say that most male gamers don't really think about customization seriously but I, on the other hand, love customization. For me, that feature makes that game more immersive (as I learned in game design lesson). So it doesn't matter whether you're male/female, I think personal customization is quite an essential element for a game.
Next is the battle. Barcode Knight has a unique concept for the players. In order to find enemies, players need to scan bar codes. Any bar codes work, whether you take it from a bottle of shampoo, or books, or anything, it leads to a in-game battle. Each bar code will result in different combination of enemies (the types, or levels, or statistics). But, if you're too lazy to scan some, you can use the auto find feature. The scanning system is useful when you need specific enemies to take on, usually for completing daily missions. Daily missions will tell you to hunt certain enemies and will reward you with some stuffs.
Moving to the battle mechanics, this reminds me of some old games from Gameboy Advance and PS1, names like Tales of Phantasia or Tales of Destiny. Barcode Knight's battle system is 2D side scrolling auto battle. It's turn-based and each attack is timed with certain amount of time. The higher your movement speed, the shorter the delay per attack, so that's the important of upgrading your movement speed. There's a special move that can be unleashed but you have to wait for it to fully filled. All attacks are automatically executed but the special moves. You can also get some battle aid by recruiting an extra member at the pub.
Barcode Knight is offered in 2 versions in Google Play, free and paid one. I tried the free one and this one contains ads. The ads aren't spamming like a machine gun barrage, though, so if you want a sneak peek, you can get this version. But if you want the one without ads, you can buy the paid version as well as support the developer. Paid version also let you accelerate battles by tapping the 2x or 3x buttons during battle. I think this would be better the developer adds some online features like online PVP or something 😀
Anyway, that's it for now I think, fill me up at the comment section if you have any opinions or recommendations, leave like if you enjoy reading my stories, and stay tuned for my next reviews.
I also do some artworks (in self-practice as well, actually), if you'd like to visit, you are very welcomed to my Artstation and Patreon profile.
and also selling some original merchandise at Redbubble and Threadless
*Sorry, get to promote everything, but, yeah, my effort on living my dream may be starting from the very bottom*
Thank you. :D*

Sony unveils 30-and 56-inch professional 4K OLED monitor prototypes, shipping in May
The 56-inch OLED TV Sony trotted out at CES may have lost an inch on its way to the market, but that extra few centimeters can still be had, at least in the professional sector. The company announced its A Series Trimaster EL monitors at NAB today, outing a 4,096 x 2,160 30-inch model as well as a 3,840 x 2160 56-inch display. Both panels boast of wide viewing angles and low color shift, promising accurate signal reproduction for industry professionals working with 4K content. No word yet on pricing, but professionals can look forward to upgrading sometime in May 2013. Hit the break for the official press release, item skus, and a quick break down of what products the A series will be replacing.

About me: I've been programming since 2000, starting with the TI-83 graphing calculator and high school classes for PASCAL and C++. Since then I've learned Javascript, HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, and dabbled in C#, Python, Java and various other languages on occasion. I'm not adverse to learning new languages, techniques, or tools. I tend to do game design and programming as a hobby, and often create simple games to learn a new language or become better at one I already know.

Chapter 269 – The Calm Before the Storm (12)
Translated by: Andy
One more in a bit. only one more chapter left in the arc.
"You fox." Liu Yue laughed as she leaned by the door and looked at him.
Hearing these words made Xuan Yuan Che shiver all over. He laughed and walked towards Liu Yue, "It won't be fun if we kill him immediately. We can save our time and effort if we let him do the dirty work."
Liu Yue smiled and leaned on his chest. This cunning bastard. This was the guy that she had fallen in love with.
She didn't ask if he was going to really give the antidote. However, it didn't matter to her. Even if Yuan Che gave them the antidote and spared them, she's still there. She didn't say anything about sparing them.
"Oh yeah. How did you get your hands on the Buddha Flower?" She asked. She was quite interested in how he got such a thing.
Xuan Yuan Che immediately started laughing very loudly. He sat Liu Yue down on the bed and said, "Buddha Flower? What Buddha flower? What I gave them was the Clear Qian Flower. It looks exactly like the Buddha Flower but it's only a medium grade medicine. It is also very poisonous.
At first, even I couldn't tell the difference. When I first saw this overseas, I got very excited. It was only later on that I found out it was a poisonous flower.
When I came back, I brought this thing back with me. I didn't expect that I would have such a good chance to use it."
The Buddha Flower can live for thousands of years. Even if the Hou Jin empire got their hands on it, they won't start experimenting on it immediately. If something went wrong, it could potentially destroy the rare flower. Therefore, they had to study it before they could make any moves.
As a result, they fell right into my trap. Fei Cheng Lie will definitely ask for a tiny piece of it to use on Fei Yan.
To Fei Cheng Lie, he didn't care if people got poisoned. However, if it's his son, then that's a different story. Since his son was infected by two types of poison, Fei Cheng Lie had no choice but to come by himself and that allowed us to to take advantage of him.
Hearing the explanation, Xuan Yuan Che was like a real fox in Liu Yue's eyes. No. Not a fox, but a wolf. A very cold blooded wolf.
However, she liked him like this.
"Oh yeah." Xuan Yuan Che looked at Liu Yue's face and carefully stared at it. He had suddenly remembered something.
Liu Yue raised her brows, "What happened?"

In a move to expand its sales activities and bolster relationships with North American filmmakers, Fortissimo Films announced Thursday that it will open a New York office, with Winnie Lau heading the new bureau. Lau has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales & Acquisitions, the company announced in Cannes. She will be moving to New York City from Hong Kong this summer to launch the new office prior to the Toronto International Film Festival.
In a conversation with indieWIRE today, company co-president Wouter Barendrecht indicated that the decision to expand into North America is part of the "organic growth" of the company that has seen Fortissimo step up its activity in North American in recent years. In particular during Cannes this year, the company announced a deal to sell Todd Solondz's new film.
Chatting with indieWIRE earlier in the festival, company co-president Wouter Barendrecht indicated that one of the biggest areas of growth for his sixteen-year old company has been the move into more American films and documentaries. In the conversation with indieWIRE today, Barendrecht said that if there is one message he hopes to send to U.S. filmmakers with this announcement its that this is a particularly "exciting time for American independent cinema" for both documentary and narrative features and that Fortissimo hopes to expand its work with top U.S. talent.
The company emphasized that it seeks to foster long standing relationships that it maintains in New York, noting its bonds with Jim Jarmusch, Mira Nair, Killer Films, Hart Sharp, IFC Film and IFC Television. When asked about the many existing sales companies and reps in New York, Barendrecht said that he sees Cinetic, UTA, William Morris and others as greater partners, rather than competitors.
While Winnie Lau will head the NYC bureau, Mary Jane Skalski, a long-time U.S. acquisitions consultant to Fortissimo will continue to work with the company, they said Thursday. "In her five years with us, Winnie has contributed significantly to the growth of our sales," the company said in a statement. "Winnie's camaraderie and business acumen shared with both the US distributors and the filmmaking community are very strong and we will benefit by her closer proximity."
Lau previously worked with Golden Harvest and was hired by the company in her native Holland, before re-locating to Hong Kong with Fortissimo. Fortissimo has five films screening in the festival here in Cannes ("Shortbus", "Taxidermia", "Sketches of Frank Gehry", and "Look Both Ways."
Fortissimo has had an active presence in Cannes this year, announcing that it recently closed a number of deals at the festival, selling "Shortbus" to BIM in Italy and Central Partnership to Russia. A number of American companies are understood to be considering the film, but insiders have said that a deal would like close after the festival; William Morris is handling film in The States. Barendrecht added Thursday that deals in the U.K., Australia, Spain and Korea are pending.
Other recent Fortissimo pacts include the sale of "Waiter" to BAC in France and United King in Israel, the sale of "When The Road Bends" to AMG in Japan and Pretty Pictures in France, and a deal for the untitled Todd Solondz film to A-Film in Benelux. [Eugene Hernandez]
Sony Classics Gets Besson's Latest
In Cannes Thursday, Sony Pictures Classics announced that it has picked-up the North American rights to the French film "Angel-A," directed and written by Luc Besson ("The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc"). The romantic drama is a magical fantasy starring French actor Jamel Debbouze and Danish supermodel Rie Rasmussen. "Angel-A" is produced by Europa Corp, who Sony Pictures Classics also worked with Tommy Lee Jones' "Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada." SPC co-president's Michael Barker and Tom Bernard and Dylan Leiner, EVP of acquisitions and production, negotiated the deal with Gregoire Melin and Pierre-Ange LePogam of Europa Corp. No theatrical release date was given.
A contemporary picture set in Paris and shot in black and white, "Angel-A" is described by SPC as "a moralistic tale about a man, Andre (Jamel Debbouze), who gets a second chance in life when he meets Angela (Rie Rasmussen) a tall, femme fatale whom he saves from a suicide bid in the Seine River. The two spend a memorable summer night in nearly deserted Paris where Angela exposes herself as a true angel, sent down to save Andre from himself."
"This movie is a love letter to Paris and romance," said Barker, Bernard and Leiner in a joint statement. "In our view it is Luc Besson's most accomplished and artistic work, both entertaining and satisfying. It's great to continue our relationship with Europra Corp, Luc Besson and Pierre-Ange LePogam." [Brian Brooks]
Roadside and Samuel Goldwyn Snag "Lassie"
Roadside Attractions and Samuel Goldwyn Films announced yesterday in a company statement that it will release the new feature film of "Lassie," which is scheduled to open in theaters September 1. The Weinstein Company and Genius Products acquired the DVD and television rights to the film at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, the announcement stated. The film was written and directed by Charles Sturridge and stars Peter O'Toole and Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton. "This is a beautiful and moving new version of the classic tale that emphasizes virtues like loyalty, honesty and respect for animals," said Roadside Attractions' Howard Cohen in the company release. "It's the kind of film that parents and children can be excited about seeing together." [Tamara Schweitzer/indieWIRE]
Picturehouse Picks Up "La Vie En Rose"
Picturehouse has acquired the U.S. rights to "La Vie En Rose" by Oliver Dahan ("Crimson Rivers 2"), the life story of French chanteuse Edith Piaf starring Marion Cotillard ("A Very Long Engagement") and Gerard Depardieu, Bob Berney, president of Picturehouse announced Thursday.
Picturehouse's SVP of Acquisitions, Sara Rose and by Carolyn Blackwood, Executive Vice President of Business Affairs and Co-Productions, New Line negotiated the deal with Nicolas Eschbach, EVP of World Sales at TF1 International. Alexandra Rossi, VP of European/Latin American acquisitions and co-productions, based out of New Line's London offices, tracked the project and brought it to the attention of Berney and Rose.
The film follows Piaf's (Cotillard) rise from the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, all the while struggling with her passionate romances and relationships with some of the greatest names of that time.
"Edith Piaf led an amazing and very cinematic life," said Berney. "Oliver has done a tremendous job of capturing her spirit and Marion Cotillard transforms herself into the embodiment of Edith Piaf."
Premiering this Saturday in competition at the Cannes Film Festival is Picturehouse's fairy tale "Pan's Labyrinth," written and directed by Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy"). [Brian Brooks]
Alpine Sets "Drug" For New Arm
"Love Is The Drug" will launch the new theatrical distribution arm from Alpine Pictures, the company has announced. Written by Wesley Strick and directed by Elliott Lester, the film stars Daryl Hannah, Lizzy Caplan, John Patrick Amedori, and Jenny Wade.
In a brief statement, company CEO Ryan Carroll said, " We're looking forward to bringing new films to the forefront." Other films on tap include Rotimi Rainwater's "Spit" and an action/thriller called, "The Trap." Alpine is also producing David O' Malley's "Dark Honeymoon." [Eugene Hernandez]

Secretary of State Cesar A. Perales and City of Auburn Mayor Michael Quill announce kickoff of Brownfield Redevelopment plan in Downtown and Owasco River Corridor
Secretary of State Cesar A. Perales was joined by City of Auburn Mayor Michael Quill, county and state officials to announce the kickoff of the Brownfield Redevelopment for the areas of Downtown and the Owasco River Corridor.
The Department of State awarded a $389, 338 Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant to the City Auburn for a revitalization plan of 562-acre a Brownfield area. The grant will be used to develop a market-driven, economically feasible plan for riverfront and downtown redevelopment; to encourage cleanup and return of brownfield and vacant sites to productive economic use; and to implement key actions and strategies needed to support immediate area-wide redevelopment activities.
"The City of Auburn is to be congratulated for pushing forward with downtown revitalization and the work they are now kicking off," stated Secretary Perales. "I'm pleased the Department of State can be a supporter in Auburn's Downtown and Owasco River Corridor Revitalization Strategy. Redeveloping brownfields and using waterfronts as an economic stimulus are key themes to the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council's goal of revitalizing urban cores, main streets and neighborhoods.""We look forward to meeting with Secretary Perales and his kickoff of the Brownfield Redevelopment Plan in Auburn" said Auburn Mayor Michael Quill. "As with all upstate cities, Brownfields are a concern and an obstacle to economic development, and any assistance that Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature can provide is greatly appreciated."
Through the Brownfield Opportunity Program we work in partnership with communities across the state to provide the concentrated assistance needed to return abandoned and under-utilized parcels to productive uses, which will generate jobs and make the city a better place to live and work.
Owasco Riverfront Park $90,000
The City prepared final designs and bid specifications for the development of the Owasco Riverfront Park. This project enhances existing park access to the Owasco River by redeveloping the northeast portion of the downtown loop road as parkland.
Construction of Owasco Riverfront Kayak & Anglers Park $250,000
The City of Auburn constructed a 2.13-acre segment of its planned 10-acre Owasco Riverfront Kayak and Angler's Park. Work included clearing vegetation in Market Street Park to enhance views from downtown, construction of a pedestrian promenade on the north side of the Owasco River, and installation of a kayaking and angling park on the south side of the river. The project furthers work developed under a previous EPF award.
Owasco Riverfront Park, Phase II $250,000
The City of Auburn constructed Phase II of its Owasco Riverfront Kayak and Angler's Park, including a promenade along the northern Owasco River waterfront, rehabilitation of Market Street Park and two river overlook areas, and creation of fishing areas and viewing points to overlook Phase I improvements on the river's southern waterfront. This furthers work developed under a previous EPF award.

White Labs Inc., the California-based fermentation sciences lab, has announced plans to build out an East Coast laboratory in the burgeoning craft beer town of Asheville, North Carolina.
The company plans to acquire a 26,000 sq. ft. property from the city, for its new lab, and will invest $8.1 million over the next five years, according to a statement released by the Economic Development Coalition for Asheville-Buncombe County (EDC). The project is expected to create 65 new jobs.
"Like San Diego and Boulder, Asheville serves as an innovation center for emerging breweries, and we couldn't be more excited to join the Asheville brewing community," White Labs CEO and Founder Chris White said in a press release. "Asheville is the first step of our global expansion plan that is strategically being rolled out in waves over the next few years."
The project is moving forward in conjunction with the Asheville City Council, Buncombe County Commission, and the EDC, according to White Labs. Calls placed to the EDC were not immediately returned.
Additional information can be found in the press release below:
Asheville, N.C. – In conjunction with the Asheville City Council, Buncombe County Commission, and the Economic Development Coalition for Asheville-Buncombe County (EDC), White Labs Inc. announces today its first East Coast laboratory operation in Asheville that will create 65 new jobs and invest $8.1 million over the next five years. Founded in San Diego, Calif. in 1995, White Labs Inc. is a world leader in fermentation sciences for the brewing and winemaking industries.
Mirroring the company's headquarters, the Asheville facility will provide analytical laboratory services and product related training for industry professionals. It will also be the base for sales and marketing for the eastern U.S. and global markets. Hiring will begin in summer 2015. White Labs' fresh yeast and related products, which are a vital link in the worldwide supply chain of the brewing industry, will be manufactured on-site for breweries, wineries and distilleries. The company has been recognized for its pioneering scientific studies on improving strains of yeast at a molecular level.
"Like San Diego and Boulder, Asheville serves as an innovation center for emerging breweries, and we couldn't be more excited to join the Asheville brewing community," stated CEO and Founder Chris White. "Asheville is the first step of our global expansion plan that is strategically being rolled out in waves over the next few years."
White Labs plans to acquire a 26,000-square-foot city owned property at 172 S. Charlotte Street. Implementing the long held vision of City leaders to energize the Charlotte Street corridor, the company will renovate and expand the turn-of-the-century structure to accommodate class-A office, laboratory and training facilities. This announcement adds to a string of recent private investments in the Charlotte Street corridor of more than $50 million dollars.
"The City of Asheville is proud to partner with White Labs, which represents the type of advanced biotech and technology companies the City is strategically seeking to help catalyze development in our Innovation Districts," said Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer. "Energizing South Charlotte Street by repurposing under-utilized city property and adding quality private sector jobs in a growing industry makes this a great accomplishment for the City."
"This exciting announcement today cements our reputation as a leader in the national craft brewing industry," commented David Gantt, Chairman of the Buncombe County Commission. "More importantly, White Labs offers the kind of science and tech jobs that will employ the next generation of Buncombe County residents."
"Chemistry is essential to brewing, and good scientific jobs are a crucial component of a sustainable, healthy economy," stated EDC Chair Taylor Foss. "White Labs will soon be a significant biotech employer in Asheville and will find great talent generated by the fermentation sciences program at Appalachian State, resources at the North Carolina Biotech Center, and A-B Tech's Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast."

So Good Men Differ ... so what?
That's a flawed assumption. In fact, "godly evangelical Christians" often disagree over things of lower consequence than the gospel. Take infant baptism as an example, or the proper ecclesiology.
What's worse is when people (such as Craig Blomberg) make the further leap of advocating something in-between those two positions as though this somehow bridged the gap created by the two positions.
In the case of Dr. Blomberg, the problem is worse because he's not actually adopted a position in the middle between Calvinism and Arminianism (the two positions he originally identified): he's adopted the Arminian position with a Molinistic explanation -- which is more like a halfway point between Calvinism and Open Theism, not between Calvinism and Arminianism. In fact, the "Arminian" position he identifies is that of William Lane Craig, one of the leading advocates for Molinism.
Even if Dr. Blomberg had actually picked something between Calvinism and Arminianism (rather than just picking Arminianism), what Dr. Blomberg has overlooked is that as soon as you set up a third position, the original argument still stands, only now there are three positions instead of two: three positions that "godly, Evangelical Christians" hold to. So the truth must be a fourth, and then (once people find that), a fifth, etc. ad infinitum.
Finally, Dr. Blomberg overlooks the fact that "godly evangelical Christians" disagree (mostly) with his fundamental premise that if "godly evangelical Christians" disagree about something, both sides must be wrong. This creates something of a paradox, since Dr. Blomberg must now rethink his original synthetic premise by synthesizing it with the position that "just because 'godly evangelical Christians' disagree about something doesn't mean both are wrong" position.
Truth is absolute, not relative. Just because "godly evangelical Christians" disagree about something doesn't mean both sides are wrong (or, necessarily, that either side is right). We need to continually go back to Scripture and let that (not counting heads) be our way of determining truth.
Thanks to Josh Walker for pointing this out to me.

Great post. Very insightful and helpful. God bless.

I don't believe Plantinga is a calvinist either, which Dr. Blomberg states that he is. He has something known as reformed epistemology, but reformed in the sense that he starts off with Calvin's sensus divinitatis and then does his own thing from there.
I've read Plantinga extensively and really can't recall reading much anything reformed in his writings. Though he is pretty brilliant, aside from his molinism.
- Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:35:00 AM
And the name dropping of Plantinga and Craig with the descriptive titles does seem like an appeal to authority. I was surprised to read this coming from someone like Dr. Blomberg to be honest.

The Plantinga/Calvinist issue is also an interesting one. He does seem to identify himself as "Reformed" but presumably that is largely in a cultural sense.

Thanks for your response to Dr. Blomberg, both here and at Alpha-Omega's blog.
The other thing I thought was funny is that he was presenting Molinism as if it were some new thing that has just appeared in order to save the day; as if his middle-knowledge has not ever been studied, dissected, and completely taken apart by better men and scholars.

wHAT IS sa corridors?
Our region is growing. By 2040, Bexar County is projected to add over 1.1 million people and 500,000 jobs. Where new housing and jobs are located over the next 25 years will have a major impact on San Antonio's quality of life. If guided properly, this influx of new residents and workers will enhance our City and positively impact our options for how we live, work, and get around.
SA Corridors is collaborative, city-wide effort, led by the City of San Antonio's Planning Department and supported by VIA Metropolitan Transit, to help shape San Antonio's future development around transit, walking, and biking.
The City of San Antonio and VIA Metropolitan Transit are nearing completion of two major planning efforts. With the adoption of the SA Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan and VIA's Vision 2040 Long Range Plan, now is the time to begin implementing a city-wide vision for transit and development. The purpose of the SA Corridors project will be to integrate the City and VIA's long-range plans and create a "road map" for implementation.
The Project area
SA Corridors is a study of the 12 corridors in VIA's Vision 2040 Plan identified for "premium" transit. That means we will be planning future growth in areas within 1/2 mile of VIA's current and proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Light Rail transit lines within the San Antonio City Limits and in surrounding communities.

José Fernández piloted boat during fatal crash, report says
Miami Marlins star pitcher José Fernández was intoxicated and speeding while at the helm of the boat that crashed off Miami Beach last September, killing him and two friends, according to an investigative report on the incident.
The 24-year-old pitching sensation's fingerprint and DNA were found on the steering wheel, and his DNA was also found on the throttle of the 32-foot vessel named "Kaught Looking," according to the final incident report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Fernández owned the vessel, which was traveling at about 66 mph when it struck a jetty near Miami Beach in the early morning hours of September 25, according to digital forensic analysis of its GPS units, the report said.
The Marlins pitcher and two friends, Emilio Jesus Macias and Eduardo Rivero, were found dead after the boat was discovered near South Pointe Beach on Government Cut. The three men, who were ejected from the boat during the crash, died from blunt-force trauma and drowning, the report said.
Fernández had cocaine in his system and was legally drunk, with a blood-alcohol concentration of .147, according to the report.
'In a reckless manner'
"Fernández operated … with his normal faculties impaired, in a reckless manner, at an extremely high rate of speed, in the darkness of night, in an area with known navigational hazards such as rock jetties and channel markers," the report said.
Investigators concluded that Fernández violated a number of state laws, including boating under the influence manslaughter, vessel homicide, and reckless or careless operation of a vessel.
The report also said the fact that Fernandez operated the vessel with the interior blue lights on along with a vinyl windshield enclosure likely interfered with his "night vision capabilities."
The report offers a look into the last hours of one of baseball's premier young pitchers, including a screen shot of a text message from Fernández' girlfriend to one of the men on the boat. She wrote that Fernández was "not in the best state of mind," that they had argued recently and that he was "pushing me out the door."
"I just need you to take care of him," the girlfriend wrote to Rivero.
'It's not my time yet'
A friend of Rivero also posted a photo of text messages he exchanged with Rivero on the night of the accident, according to the report.
In the messages, Rivero's friend urged him to "keep Joe cool" and "keep him close to shore."
"Trust me," Rivero wrote back. "It's not my time yet."
Fernández and his two friends spent an hour and 45 minutes before the crash at American Social bar on the Miami Rivera, where they purchased two bottles of Don Julio tequila and other drinks, according to the report.
Fernández suffered blunt-force injuries to the head and torso, along with skull and jaw fractures during the crash.
At the time of the crash, Macias was standing near the vessel's front center console and Rivero was standing behind the center console seat, according to the report.
The families of Macias and Rivero are each seeking $2 million in wrongful-death lawsuits against the Fernandez estate, CNN affiliate WPLG reported.
Coast Guard personnel on patrol noticed the vessel upside down on the north end of a rocky jetty shortly after 3:15 a.m.
"No matter what the report has concluded, nothing will ever diminish Jose's everlasting positive connection with Miami and the Miami Marlins," team president David Samson said in a statement, WPLG reported.
"Nor can it lessen the love and passion he felt for his family, friends, teammates and all his fans in South Florida and around the world."
A beloved sports figure
Autopsies determined that Macias and Rivero had levels of alcohol below the legal limit in Florida, which is .08. Rivero also had traces of cocaine in his system, the medical examiner's report said.
A native of Santa Clara, Cuba, Fernández was a beloved sports figure in the city where so many of his countrymen have settled and prospered. Drafted by the Marlins in 2011, he rose to become the franchise's marquee pitcher, the National League Rookie of the Year 2013 and a two-time all-star.
His death stunned Miami and the baseball world, where he was a popular figure with teammates and opponents.
After defecting from his native Cuba at 15, Fernández made his big-league debut against the New York Mets on April 7, 2013.

This week when I went to Fredericksburg, I stopped and got gas at the RaceTrac (now "Raceway," I believe) since they tend to have the cheapest prices. I finished filling up and went to write the mileage information in my little book, only to realize that the my pen was no longer in the car.
I had already started the engine and didn't want to run to the attendant to borrow one. So I did what any self-respecting geek that needed to record his car's mileage would do.
I took a picture with my digital camera.
Some updated CD Cellar Leesburg information, courtesy of Alex and the Cellar themselves…
The store will be opening, "come Hell or high water," on April 15 (though the owner's mother just died, so it may be slightly delayed beyond that, I'm not sure). It will be in the same center as Mama Lucci's and Loudoun Guns, in the old Loudoun Gun store (at the end of the center).
I can't wait.
To my friends at Netscape:
Hey, guys… you've finally gotten Netscape 6.2 to the point that it's stable. Good job.
Now, why did you bother releasing Netscape 4.79, for Heaven's sake?!
Hay hay hay, Rog, here's your Friday Five.
OK, this e-mail I keep getting from Holstein Central is getting more and more disturbing:
Hello David ,
I wanted to bring you up to date on what is new at Holstein Central. First item is that Semen Central is up and running at http://www.semen-central.com. This is a listing of semen that is for sale.
It is run similar to Embryo Central, subscribers can list semen for sale at a specific price, and visitors looking for semen will be able to search by sire for semen. It is just getting started so there is not a huge quantity of semen online at this point. If you have semen that you wish to move out of your tank, why not subscribe and list it there. The fee is just $25 for the first 6 months to list as much semen as you wish. This not only qualifies you as a subscriber to Semen Central, but also to Embryo Central. There are currently over 500 embryos on Embryo Central by many different sires, high type, high index and great cow families, prices start at $100.00. There have been many sales as a result of listings on Embryo Central so list your embryos now.
To top it off, this letter is signed by "John R Wadsworth." Wow.
The show last night was mighty good… RNM's spirit was definitely present as his youngest son (and Grammy winner!) Damian took the stage. Though The State Theatre is an odd venue for reggae, I really like their sound — it's just loud enough to rock the house, but you can be down on the floor without earplugs and not go deaf.
As much as I loved Damian's performance, the crowd annoyed me (imagine that — just like every other show I've ever been too). Only in Falls Church would two girls grind on each other while Damian Marley sings his rendition of "Crazy Baldhead." Some people just don't get it.
I will admit, though, I was mighty impressed by the guy standing next to me who knew the lyrics to every single one of Damian's songs.
Two highlights of the evening: the one Rasta that stood on stage and waved an Ethiopian flag back and forth for the entire show and Stephen Marley coming out during the encore to sing "Could You be Loved?" He's amazing.
I picked up my ticket at 6:45, but the show didn't start until 9, so I had time to putz around a bit. I went to Fresh Fields and picked up some food and a buttload of "my soap" since it was on sale (Kiss My Face/Clearly Natural). Then I headed to CD Cellar and made out like a bandit — probably the best set of CDs I've purchased at one time in the last year.
I got home at 1:30, but it was worth it. A good night all around.
Anyone feel like going to see Damian Marley with me tonight?
I'm not kidding: I had a dream last night where I transformed myself into a bowling pin.
Scary realization from running some stats on my company's web logs: more people visited our site using Netscape 3 than Netscape 6 (3.79% vs. 2.98%).
Yikes. People still have NS 3 installed on their machines?

How do you make old clothes look like new? That was the challenge faced by the Ariel team at Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, Philippines.
To show consumers that Procter & Gamble's Ariel would make their outfits look as good as new, Ace Saatchi & Saatchi partnered with a local chain of laundromats to have the clothes of customers washed with Ariel laundry detergent.
The laundromats were transformed to look like fashion boutiques and the items on display were actually clothes that were previously sent to be laundered. Outside, mannequins adorned windows, while inside, tags were attached to freshly washed clothes and hung on racks. When picking up their laundry, customers took their clothes home in fashionable store bags. Even the laundromats' website received a makeover and resembled that of a new and trendy fashion boutique.

My husband the chef made some delicious brownies for a ladies potluck lunch we had today. The recipe can be found here for Outrageous brownies by Ina Garten on The Food Network.
- 1 pound unsalted butter
- 1 pound plus 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons real vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups diced walnut pieces ( in place of the nuts we added peanut butter chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
Melt together the butter, chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.
Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and chocolate chips with flour to coat. Then add to the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not overbake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.
|This picture doesn't do them justice, I took it with my webcam
The recipe makes a ton of brownies so it was perfect for a group! They are so yummy!
Do you have a favorite dessert?


text: I wasn't sure whether to post it under "news" or "investors", but it is relevant to both subforums: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/29/opinion/joe-nocera-the-tesla-cheerleader.html?_r=0 TLDR; Joe Nocera, author of the above linked column, believes that Adam Jonas (analyst at Morgan Stanley) has been pumping the share price of TSLA in order to benefit Morgan Stanley's investment bank business, despite the official division between analyst and iBanking groups. Morgan Stanley is one of the underwriters of the latest TSLA share offering. Mr. Nocera says that the timing of Mr. Jonas' upgrades to price targets suspiciously coincides with Tesla's capital raises. I don't have a problem with this part of the column. However, Mr. Nocera can't help but take a swipe at Tesla, which he describes as, "a company that eats through cash, loses money on every sedan it sells,". He then says that the falling price of oil is one reason for Tesla's overvaluation. Merlin's :cursing:ing beard this is ridiculous. Does this guy not know how to read a quarterly cash flow statement? The Times is as bad as the WSJ. What a :cursing: rag.

2015 Canada GP Qualifying Report
Posted on 07 June 2015
By James Allen
I'm really not going back to Monaco. I've moved on. I don't even have to think about it, I couldn't care less about it. I can't do anything about the past so there's honestly no point in thinking about it. I'm thinking about this race, I'm excited" - Lewis Hamilton
How appropriate that Lewis Hamilton should score his 44th career pole position driving car number 44, a number he chose due to it's happy memories from karting. He took a commanding pole position on the Montreal track where he scored his first pole and win eight years ago. It is Hamilton's sixth pole in seven races this year and his fourth on this track.
Hamilton arrived in Montreal under a cloud after losing the Monaco Grand Prix in a public and humiliating way due to an unforced strategy error by him and his team in the closing stages of the race.
He needed a strong response here; a repeat of what happened here in Montreal 12 months ago, where he made a mistake in qualifying, would have been quite devastating mentally for the 30 year old. But he held his nerve despite a difficult weekend with limited track time and several issues on track to take pole by over 3/10ths of a second from his team mate Nico Rosberg.
Kimi Raikkonen starts a season best 3rd on the grid for Ferrari while his team mate Sebastian Vettel not only had problems with his turbo which put him 16th on the grid, he also had problems with the FIA Stewards, who wanted to know why he overtook another car this morning under Red Flag conditions during Free Practice 3.
This has been a strange weekend for the teams and drivers, as the practice sessions have been cut short by rain and red flags, meaning that no one has particularly good information about how the tyres will perform in the race.
Ferrari looked very fast in the limited race preparation running we saw on Friday and if that carries through in the race, then they can challenge the Mercedes drivers for the race win.
Strategy will be vital; the supersoft tyres are only 7/10ths of a second faster than the softs and they have higher degradation. but no-one has an accurate picture of what that degradation is until the race is more than 10 laps old.
So it will be a race where teams will be reacting to situations and making decisions on that basis.
The other factor here is the Safety Car, 11 of the past 17 races have been hit with at least one Safety Car and sometimes four in one race! A bold option for Ferrari and Raikkonen would be to do a one-stop strategy and take the benefit of the Safety Car is deployed. But Ferrari have only one car at the front of the grid, after Sebastian Vettel's problems and so they may choose to be more reactive to Mercedes than offensive in their thinking.
Lotus has been much more competitive here this weekend with the Mercedes engine cars occupying seven of the top ten grid slots and Williams' Valtteri Bottas is always fast here. He will be battling with Lotus to challenge for the podium should anything occur to the Mercedes cars and Raikkonen.
There are a lot of penalties this weekend, making the grid calculation tricky and we will se drivers taking penalties into the race; as they won't be able to move back sufficient places on the grid to make up for their engine penalties, we will see drivers like Verstappen serving time penalties in the race.Leading Formula One™ commentator and journalist, James Allen is a contributing writer for Singapore GP Pte Ltd

Louis van Gaal is ready to hand Michael Carrick a new one-year contract, despite the fact the midfielder is yet to play a competitive game under the new Manchester United boss.
The 33-year-old has missed the start of the 2014/15 campaign after undergoing ankle surgery in pre-season, but according to The Sun on Sunday he is set to be offered an extension to his current deal which expires next summer.

Carrick currently earns £80,000-a-week at Old Trafford, and the new Red Devils manager sees him as an important part of his first-team plans, despite the recent influx of new signings during the summer.
The experienced England international will be tasked with helping the likes of Daley Blind and Ander Herrera settle in the Premier League, although neither player has looked particularly troubled so far, having both made impressive starts to their respective Manchester United careers.
Carrick's passing ability is perfectly suited to the way in which Van Gaal likes to play, and for that reason alone he will be an invaluable option for the Dutchman to have.
After stepping up his recovery along with fellow senior star Phil Jones last week, the former Tottenham man could be in contention for a return after the international break when Manchester United take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on October 20.
Carrick's return couldn't have come at a better time for the Red Devils after Herrera suffered a rib injury at the end of last month, with his comeback not scheduled to be until late October.

LeBron James' famous chase-down blocks have made him one of the most feared defensive players in the NBA.
On Sunday, Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington seemed all too aware of James' reputation for hunting down opponents and pinning their shots against the backboard.
During the third quarter, Covington broke loose for what should have been an easy fast-break layup, but noticed LeBron trailing behind him, surely preparing for the chase-down block.
That's when Covington rushed the layup and smacked it against the rim, blowing an easy basket.
LeBron doesn't even have to do anything to prevent easy baskets!
Along with many others, Covington may have remembered LeBron saving the Cavaliers' season with a chase-down block on Andre Iguodala in Game 7 of the Finals. He later told Business Insider that he considers it the most important play of his career so far.

Building Fantastic Website Navigation that Convert into Conversions
Developers and technical SEOs have heard the search engine mouthpieces say it over and over:
"Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines".
If you ask me, there's one big reason why "primarily" sneaks itself into that statement: Faceted Navigation. Oh, how nice it would be to be able to build faceted navigation into a site without concern for the search engines. Unfortunately, this isn't the case, and in this post I'll attempt to break down what it takes to do it right for both users and search engines.
But hold on here. Let's first define faceted navigation. Faceted navigation is most often found on eCommerce sites, and is a means to allow the user to apply filters (ok, or "facets") as they browse through thousands of products. You'll find faceted navigation on most any eCommerce site with a ton of products, like Best Buy.
In the example above, I've filtered my way down to find the perfect product:
I want a laptopI hear good things about Apple. I want an Apple laptop.I need at least 300 GB of hard drive space.I'm not interested in the cheap stuff! Just show me laptops over $900.
As a user, that was enjoyable. I can add and subtract filters all day until I've found exactly what I want.
For the search engine, there can be a number of unfavorable consequences.
The search engine might begin to crawl through these facets, wrecklessly adding and subtracting filters and indexing whatever the hell it wants. Eventually crawl fatigue catches up to it, and it leaves your site.
This is the naive way to build faceted navigation because it allows all pages to be crawled and indexed, and the hope is that the engines figure out what's important on their own.
SPOILER ALERT: They won't. More than likely, plenty of actually important pages will not get the crawl love they deserve.
There are plenty of eCommerce packages out there that utilize the robots = noindex and nofollow as a solution to this problem, but it's really not helping too much. Each has their own shortcomings.
Noindex – Well, you've managed to keep the really ugly, over-faceted pages out of the index, but the noindex does nothing to stop the search engines from wasting crawl bandwidth.
Nofollow – Remember, robots=nofollow doesn't mean the engines aren't going to crawl through the link, it just means no link equity will flow through the link. Again, this isn't a good method to preserving crawl bandwidth.
Now, the extreme opposite way to handle faceted navigation…
This is the method that Best Buy appears to be employing. The top-level categories are crawled and indexed, but once any sort of facet is applied the pages are excluded via robots.txt. It's the reason why their main "Laptops" page is in the index, but "Apple Laptops" is not.
And therein lie the fault with the hatchet approach. You might very well be missing out on some really strong organic landing pages. Don't you think Best Buy would like to rank for "Apple Laptops"?* They don't.
* I'm merely using Best Buy as an example of the hatchet approach. There could very well be some ulterior reasoning for not having an indexed "Apple Laptops" page.
The principles of great faceted navigation should be becoming clear…
Be simple and easy to use for the userNot allow the search engines to go buck wild crawling in and out of facets (whether those facets are being indexed or not)Allow for indexation of particular facet combinations with high-volume search traffic
Easier said then done, but let's talk about potential ways to make it happen.
Over the last 2 years or so, the search engines have made strides in the indexation of AJAX content. By following some standards set by Google, webmasters are now able to have their AJAX content indexed (to some degree). With the user experience created by AJAX so favorable, websites are beginning to take advantage.
All that aside, in my example I want use AJAX in a way that keeps the engines from crawling through and indexing pages that are only navigable through AJAX. There are a few eCommerce sites that are doing this right now with their navigation.
AJAX can make the user experience of applying and unapplying filters to your navigation fast and enjoyable. In this example, we want an uncrawlable AJAX faceted navigation. For this segment of our user base, our needs are met. Take the 'narrow your search' feature on FramesDirect for a live example.
Here we are on the Oakley glasses static page. We can add and subtract facets. The page won't reload, the URL won't change, and the items will filter right there on-page.
This is where it gets tricky, but it's also where the magic happens. We want to build our AJAX navigation in a way that the fallback for non-JavaScript users is a static HTML navigation block. This HTML block contains faux-facets that are just links to deeper html pages, which we've chosen to build based on search volume.
That navigation is generated at page load via JavaScript, so when the non-JavaScript user (and the search engine) arrives, it never loads. Instead, our fallback is presented:
Now, we've got our 'top categories' (AKA organic landing pages) indexed, and the engines are only spending time crawling pages that matter.
Unfortunately, I've never actually seen this solution implemented anywhere, so I can't link to a live example. In theory, this is a great way to tackle this problem.
Mockups courtesy of Mockingbird. I wish there embed feature was better, but it's a great mockup tool!
Cloaking is the practice of showing different content to users and search engines. In my opinion, this is not cloaking, and actually I think Google would quite like this solution. Forgetting the search engines for a minute, we're providing a means for the non-JavaScript user to navigate through an eCommerce site, when otherwise it would be a frustrating experience. Building a universally accessible site is surely something of which Google would approve.
This solution is the happy medium between the Naive and the Hatchet approach. With the selective robots.txt solution, we'll define a URL parameter that will serve as road block to the search engines. Let's call that "crawl=no". Our robots.txt file might look like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*crawl=no
Now, we'll need to create some server-side rules that define when that "crawl=no" is appended to a URL. One simple idea might be to append "crawl=no" from the third facet application forward. To describe:
User is on "laptops" page (indexed)User applies "Apple" filter. Page changes to /laptops?manufacturer=apple. (indexed)User applies "Macbook" filter. Page changes to /laptops?manufacturer=apple&model=macbook. (indexed)Any filter applied from here on is blocked. So, user applies "below $1,000" filter, and page changes to /laptops?manufacturer=apple&model=macbook&price=1000&crawl=no
Take a look at the faceted navigation on TrendToGo. They've implemented almost exactly this method of dealing with facets.
Honestly, I like the AJAX solution better because of the AJAX user experience, but both should get the job done.
I expect that a lot of the folks who are able to innovate with their navigation are those smaller, more agile businesses. These are the sites that might be under most peoples' radars, including my own. If you know of any other excellently built faceted navigation implementations on the web, I'd love to hear about it in the comments or let me know on Twitter.

Instruction Manual
Understanding wine is not limited to being able to provide a description of it. Understanding a wine also means knowing how to drink it. And no, knowing how to put the glass to your lips is not enough.
In my previous post I talked about trade tastings, where a taster can try many different wines; today, I'd like to focus specifically on studying a single bottle. It's very important, I believe, to continue learning about the things you care for. With wine, going deeper and learning more means profoundly understanding a particular juice, which requires a lot of time, drinking many different bottles of the same stuff. Now, let's say you're getting a bottle (probably from your trusted store!) that you've never had before, and you walk out without any instruction on how to drink it. What would happen? Often, people don't know what to do - sometimes even I don't know, if it's a bottle I've never had before. That is when I sit back and I let the wine talk to me; I literally let it "open up" to me.
For example: there is a winery in California called Coturri. They are certified organic, and their wines have the lowest allowable concentration of sulfates. Every time you open a bottle of theirs, it's a journey, and I love to try them time and again. After several different tastes, I have come to believe that the Coturris work with oxidation: sulfates are antioxidants, so a low sulfate content will not protect a wine from oxidizing. That said, a winemaker might as well use that process in his or her favor. This can have some interesting results. When you open a bottle, sometimes it will smell... you might even think it's bad. Obviously, I had this very experience. So the first thing I did was try to understand if the wine was dead or alive - I poured half a finger in a crystal glass and smelled it, set a benchmark and waited few minutes. Then, I smelled it again and noticed that the wine was losing its initial, unpleasant funk and was coming together. It was alive!!!
I purposely didn't mention which of the Coturri wines was the star of that story. Here's why: I have found that a winery's style is reflected in different degrees, depending on the bottle. To some extent, all of the Coturri wines will act like the one I had (I confirmed that intuition later, by opening all of their wines). But some may not take so long - others may take even longer. I don't want to tell you that you'll have the exact same experience that I had, because you may not; the specifics vary from bottle to bottle. The goal in fact is not just to detect and expose flavors to your friends, or to know a wine dead-on before you open it. The goal is to develop the ability to choose the right wine for the right occasion and to know what to do with it. That skill will dramatically change the emotions you'll feel and improve the overall experience of your meals, or whatever situation in which you've chosen to enjoy your wine. Then, you can transfer your knowledge to your wine friends, and they can do the same for you. You'll save time and money in the process of becoming informed winos.
One bottle is never enough. If you find a wine you love, you should try it over and over, especially at the beginning of the journey. After years of experience, you'll have enough know-how to understand or at least have an idea of what to do even before opening a bottle. Your brain will be trained to remember better and to categorize the wine so that you'll be able to choose more deftly. Knowing more also make you more confident. You'll believe in your intuitions and surprise your friends and yourself by choosing wines you've never had before, but already having an idea of what they will be like. In this process, learning one bottle of wine will provide you with a knowledge base for countless other bottles - an invaluable category of information.
I'll finish today with a short anecdote about wine confidence, and how it can truly guide you to new and exciting choices. I trust my wine intuitions often when I'm out with my girlfriend Susan; she is very passionate about food and wine, her palate is refined and challenging and even though she could easily pick a wine, she often asks me to do it. She made me think about being more specific in the way I choose wine from a list in a restaurant; several times after I'd made my selection, she would ask if I knew the wine. If I answered "no," she would ask what made me choose that particular bottle. I've always had to think about the answer, and at least at the beginning I wasn't able to put it into words... I was following a system but I didn't really know I had one. Having been coerced to think about it, I was inspired to write this post, through which I am finally able to provide an answer. I look at the list with confidence: if I see the selection is well thought-out, then I trust the palate behind the list, and my confidence increases. Then, if I know the wines from that region are good, and I am curious to try a new producer who I know to be very capable, again, my level of confidence rises, and ultimately, using my own intuition and shared information, I choose a wine I've never had before, and am often pleased with the results, and the subsequent journey.
I hope that in the future, sharing this kind of information will be the main focus of wine publication as well. I also think it would be very useful if wineries themselves wrote suggestions for how to enjoy their wines on their back labels. Until that happens, the helm of the ship on your wine journey belongs solely to you - navigate well, and the journey will be unforgettable.

Acne is a frustrating condition that affects many teenagers and adults. Several factors contribute to the development of acne, including hormonal imbalances, clogged pores, bacterial infection of hair follicles and inflammation. Therapeutic fasting may be helpful for treating and preventing acne, when it is combined with a well-rounded treatment plan that addresses acne's fundamental cause. Everyone has unique needs when it comes to fasting, so consult a health care professional who's trained in therapeutic fasting for personalized advice, guidance and monitoring.
Therapeutic fasting is strictly defined as abstinence from all foods and beverages except water for a specific period of time. Some health care practitioners recommend consuming juices, teas, fluids or supplements during a fast; however, this is technically an elimination or restricted diet rather than a true fast. Although they work differently in the body, both fasting and elimination diets may be helpful for treating acne. According to Drs. Trevor Salloum and Alan Goldhamer, a naturopathic physician and chiropractor, respectively, and contributors to the "Textbook of Natural Medicine," during a fast, the body undergoes a period of physiological rest. Rather than expend significant energy on digestion, the body instead focuses on detoxifying and enhancing immune system function. When the body is able to properly filter and eliminate wastes through the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, the quality of skin secretions increases, which in turn helps the treatment and prevention of acne. In other words, when the body detoxifies through the liver and kidneys, it does not have to do so through the skin.
Identifies Food Sensitivies
Practitioners of naturopathic medicine contend that food sensitivities can contribute to the development of acne. Drs. Stephen Barrie and Peter B. Bongiorno, naturopathic physicians and contributors to the "Textbook of Natural Medicine," explain that certain foods can cause non-allergic reactions in individuals that contribute to inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma and skin conditions like acne. Different people have unique food sensitivities, and because of this determining these reactive foods can prove challenging. During a fast, all foods are cleared from the body. Afterward, different foods can be progressively and systematically reintroduced while noting changes in the skin, body or moods. The period after a fast is a useful opportunity to identify foods that cause changes in the body, including worsening acne. These foods can then be avoided as part of an effort to clear acne and improve overall health.
Implements Healthy Habits
In traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda and naturopathy, the health of the skin is a direct extension of digestive integrity. Natural medicine practitioners contend that when the body functions optimally, skin secretions are healthy, pores are clear and inflammation is diminished. Subsequently, acne naturally heals. A healthy diet -- low in processed, sugary foods and rich in nutrient-dense whole foods -- is a mainstay for digestive and overall health. A fast provides an opportunity to diminish dependence on addictive substances like sugar, caffeine and nicotine, as well as an opportunity to start fresh with a commitment to nutritious dietary habits. While therapeutic fasting is not a panacea, it can play a contributing role in optimizing wellness, which naturally includes healthy and clear skin.
