1st time snowboarding didnt go so well
Hey whats up everyone !
I just got back from a snowboarding trip, and I am really not impressed with my performance.
First day private lessons we only were able to cover falling leaf, but the instructor had me doing length traverses ? He had me go from one side of the slope to the other side of the slope while side slipping I think. At the very end of the lesson i was side slipping on my heel edge, pointing the board down the slope, and switching to my toe edge, but I couldn't do it quickly. " I basically already knew how to do this thanks to Snowolf"
Second day the first 2 runs felt as if I had retained little of the previous days lessons. I was doing slow 360's at the top of the slope, because i was basically out of control, I am not 100% sure if it was something to do with my flow bindings or not.
After the first 2 runs i was warmed up, and controlling the board was a lot easier. Hit a green run, which totally cramped up both of my feet, because i was sticking to my toe edge, but i couldn't link turns, I could point the board straight down the slope, but was unable to bleed off my speed unless I was basically side slipping down; slowly coming to a stand still, then i could change edges, and go right back to full bore down the hill, and then back to sideslipping.
Everytime that I would full bore down the hill, I would go toe edge, aggressively push my knee down, but the board wouldn't dig in hard enough to make my turning feel agile. I would slightly veer off to the right, which freaked me out a little because of the speed i was picking up, so then i would lift my rear foot up to force my board to turn side ways, and side slip down the slope . I never caught an edge, but if the board wasn't turning slowly it was standing nearly vertical on the slope, and my edge would cut 1-2 inches into the slope. It was like my edge cut into the slope while i was turning, which made me turn really well, but in turn made me lose my balance, and i would slide out. The best way i can describe it is that my edge was cutting into the slope like a knife into cheese lol, and I would only leave a narrow incision where my edge cut in.
Had i taken 1 on 1 private lessons , I know that I would have learned a lot more, but we had a group private lesson, and some of the others were having a harder time than I was the first day, which limited my progression.
I didn't have trouble getting on / off any of the lifts, but skating isn't my strong suite at all. If I am not hanging my toe off far enough, than I was hanging it off too much kind of thing. " Thanks for the video Snowolf"
Roughly 6 hours into the second day I was getting sore, and sloppy with my boarding. I was catching edges due to being too tired to fully move the board around. So I decided to call it a day, and a weekend.
I am amazed that wake boarding didn't help out as much as i thought it would. I think wake boarding was a lot easier to figure out.
I think that my flow's were just too much machine for me. I had to readjust them every few runs because my ratchet strap kept flipping up, and when i got to the top i would push it back down, so it would gradually tighten over a few runs, forcing me to readjust it, and changing the way they felt. I am not positive that i have the high back adjusted to the right place, or a place that would be beneficial for my progression.
Definitely hooked, but being out off the bunny slope made me feel as if i was danger to anyone behind me, because at any second I could wipe out; slide out; catch an edge, or just completely apply the brakes. Not being able to link turns, or able to be half as fast as the other people blazing by me made me lose a lot of confidence in my newly acquired skills.
Sorry to write a book but is this normal ? Has anyone else had the same experience as I did the first time they went out ? I will be going again in roughly a month, and I plan on taking 1 on 1 private lessons the first day, also replacing my flows with traditional bindings until I atleast have 20 days on the snow.
Please let know if it sounds like i was doing something i shouldnt have been doing, or what your first experience snowboarding was like. Thanks =D
Yes, normal. You're going to feel like an alien on the board until you get it... Don't over think it, just get back out and spend more time on the hill!
What these guys said.
I also just learned to ride and despite all the washouts and faceplants, I consider it a success. I also had group lessons, but was lucky enough to be in a group of 3 with both the other people being good friends of mine. I went from being certain that going down a green would be my death to (almost) comfortably linking turns on greens and even going down a blue without dying. On the second and third days, I felt like I had forgotten everything and my first couple of runs were strings of failures. Thus I learned the importance of warmups and on practicing moves on flatland whenever I feel the need to.
Even though you may feel like you're not progressing or not getting far enough, you ARE progressing. Just get out there, practice and have fun. You'll get it :thumbsup: (and I hope I will too someday)
I took a lesson 11 years ago (only 1) and that was all I really snowboarded until last year. My boyfriend taught me and he was much more helpful. You're seem like an idiot until you get a feel for it, like driving a car. I mainly stayed on my heels as a lot of people do (to stop) and would kill my thighs doing that cuz it wears them out. Then I went straight down and would stop on my heels every so often. Then my boyfriend said I HAVE to switch from heels to toes in order to take the pressure off my thighs and make an S shape, so I would do that a little and stop on my heels a lot. Well now (2nd year) I do heels and toes perfectly, but when I gain too much speed I make myself nervous cuz I don't wanna fall at that speed lol and slow myself down on my heels, and then I continue. It takes time but you'll figure it out.
Also, one thing that my boyfriend (snowboarder or 10 years) says is, "If you're not falling, then you're not doing it right" meaning learning... if you're not falling then you're not trying because falling helps you realize what NOT to do :dizzy:
I had alot of trouble learning to control my edges on a wakeboard :dunno:
If you can wake and skate, imo snowboarding will "click" for you sooner than later.
The only sports I do are surf skate and snowboard and imo snowboarding has the shortest, however steep and painful learning curve.
Getting out on a softer day can help.
Visualize, there's no reason you can't do this, maybe theres too many mechanics in your head. Its been proven over and again that you can't learn to snowboard on the internet.
To all newbs....just go more...it will click...just save yourself to ride another day.
Lewb....you made stellar progression....from the couch to the bunny hill...big win :bowdown: :3tens:
when's the last time you fell off the couch?
From the headline I was expecting some kind of disaster, broken bones, blown spleen kind of thing -- but, you know, understated.
I won't repeat what everyone else has said, but I applaud your, "calling it a day". Technique, progression, what-have-you aside -- only you know yourself. It is often better to live to ride another day. Any significant (I won't say "major") injury I've ever sustained was on that, "I'll do just one more" run.

The sister of a man struck and killed walking across Third Street with his bike last January filed a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday against the man arrested in the case, seeking more than $1 million in damages.
An attorney for Teresa Gibbs, representing the estate of Anthony Martin, filed the lawsuit Wednesday morning in Deschutes County Circuit Court against Bret Lee Biedscheid.
The suit comes just over a week after a six-hour settlement conference Sept. 20 failed to lead to a negotiated plea in Martin?s death. Biedscheid, 38, then pleaded not guilty to hit-and-run and criminally negligent homicide charges, and a trial date was set for next January, about a year after his death.
Martin, 47, was walking across Third Street in northeast Bend with his bike when he was struck and killed.
Two days later, Biedscheid?s Portland attorney, Stephen Houze, turned Biedscheid?s truck over to police. Police documents showed they found traces of a red, ?blood-like? substance on the white pickup, which also had a broken front headlight.
?At the end of this, I just want to see some justice,? Gibbs, a Madras resident, told NewsChannel 21 Wednesday after the lawsuit was filed.
Her attorney, Tom D?Amore, who has offices in Bend and the Portland area, said, ?The question always is, what can you do with a wrongful death case??
?Unfortunately, all we can do is get money for the family and hopefully make a better life for this young girl,? the 2-year-old daughter he left behind, D?Amore said.
Gibbs said, "It's going to be very tough, explaining to his daughter why she doesn't have a father to watch her grow up."
Asked why the civil lawsuit was filed while the criminal case is still pending, D?Amore said there also had been private talks aimed at resolving the potential civil case, which also proved fruitless.
?We have waited a long time, and there was a potential settlement, to where the civil thing could have been resolved altogether,? he said, ?That fell through because the defense wanted to make it contingent on these criminal charges.?
The lawsuit said Biedscheid?s 2008 GMC pickup was heading south on Third Street and struck Martin on Jan. 26, narrowly missing another pedestrian. The crash caused ?catastrophic and fatal injuries,? it said, while Biedscheid ?did not stop his vehicle to assist? Martin ?and left the scene of the crime and avoided criminal authorities for two days.?
The five-page lawsuit accuses Biedscheid of negligence for driving drunk and ?at an excessive rate of speed given the conditions.? It also lists several of Martin's injuries, including skull fractures and hemorrhaging.
It seeks $505,000 in economic damages, to cover ?funeral, burial and related services, and loss of earning capacity,? and compensation "In an amount which a jury decides is fair" in non-economic losses ?including but not limited to loss of the society, companionship and services? of Martin. The total damages sought exceed $1 million, the lawsuit stated.
"Justice would be fantastic, closure to myself and my sons, and his daughter," Gibbs said.
D'Amore also reserved the right to amend the complaint and add a claim for punitive damages.
Calls to Biedscheid, his lawyer and their insurance attorney were not returned Wednesday.

I capitalized on the idea at Christmastime by sprucing up ice cream cones to fashion some frosted firs. I made these for a school Christmas party.—Carla Harris, Trenton, Tennessee
- 8 sugar ice cream cones
- 1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting, divided
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- Green gel food coloring
- Assorted candy decorations
- Using a serrated knife, carefully score and cut ice cream cones to desired heights. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup frosting and confectioners' sugar; tint green. Set remaining frosting aside.
- Cut a hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert star tip #77. Fill with green frosting. Pipe frosting in overlapping rows over cones. Decorate with candies.
- When frosting on trees is dry, spread white frosting over a large serving platter to resemble snow. Arrange trees on frosted platter. Yield: 8 trees.

From Martinsburg:
My son was not crying or acting out, he does not throw tantrums, he was simply discovering the noises that he can make. If that is a problem, maybe you should keep the things that come out of your mouths to yourself as well. My family does everything together, I do not pawn my child off to a sitter every time I want to go in public. The notion that children should be seen and not heard is archaic and cruel.
From Hedgesville:
What a shame, Obama again. He didn't do anything the first four years but blame Bush, now the next four years, I guess he will blame Romney. He said in his first bid for the White House that if he didn't change things, he wouldn't run again. Lie, lie, after lie.
From Charles Town:
Welcome to the Socialist States of America. You stupid lemmings, remember you did it to yourselves.
From Frederick:
Only in West Virginia would you find voters dumb enough to elect a sheriff who cannot carry a firearm while under indictment. What a joke!
From Ranson:
This just in: Fox News still thinks Romney won the election.
From Martinsburg:
Voter's registration mailed over 35,000 new cards from January-April. Thousands of those cards came back undeliverable. If you didn't receive a new card, I guarantee you were one of the ones who is still registered with an old address, an old P.O. box or an old route box. This, my friend, is your fault. It's time to stop blaming everyone else for your mistakes.
From Inwood:
Referencing the issue of children in restaurants: Children are seen and heard. But, there is a time and place for everything. People pay their hard-earned money to spend quality time out with their families. If a child decides to have a tantrum and won't stop, it's common courtesy, not only to your family, but to the rest of the patrons, to remove the child until the tantrum has passed.
From Charles Town:
After months of bitter debate, I'm happy to see that Americans elected the best candidate. President Obama will continue to provide superior leadership to our nation.
From Harpers Ferry:
In 2008 it was hope and change you can believe in. In 2012, it's no hope from change we will never recover from.
From Charles Town:
I cannot believe the people voted for Bobby Shirley and he won after what he did. He should have been suspended. Had it been a policeman he would have been suspended. The video shows he did wrong. What is wrong with the people of Jefferson County?
From Hedgesville:
Karl Rove and the Jewish casino owner learned the hard way that money can't buy elections.
From Martinsburg:
Take a parenting class on how to teach kids proper behavior in public. Guess you don't teach them anything at home or they wouldn't act like that.
From Gerrardstown:
To the South Berkeley Wrecker and Rollback drivers: I, in the last two days, have almost been hit by you. One of you was talking on the phone, and the other wasn't paying attention. Seems to me that the two of you shouldn't be on the road. I remember your faces and know one of your names. Stay off the phone and pay attention before you kill someone.
From Inwood:
To the Berkeley County caller: There are reasons questions are asked multiple times ... . Sometimes it's a lack of not being able to hear the caller but more importantly it's for verification purposes. You have to realize when you call 911, it is not a "this is my emergency and now I will hang up" type of deal. Questions are asked for a multitude of reasons and it's up to you as the caller to cooperate and give the information the dispatcher asks for.
From Harpers Ferry:
Regarding Sandy and foreign aid: Toyota, Mercedes, Honda, Volkswagen and Mazda combined donated $3.1 million to Red Cross. Iran even offered to send a team to help but was turned down. During Katrina, France offered a medical ship to assist with the injured. Holland offered engineering expertise. Both were turned down. It's our government that does not want foreign aid.
From Martinsburg:
I didn't vote for him, but I want to compliment Kenny Lemaster for removing his campaign signs promptly. Early Wednesday morning not a one was in sight. Wish all candidates would do the same. We're tired of all to do with the election.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Scientists have deciphered how leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) acts as a proinflammatory enzyme. The research may also provide new clues to why cigarette smoke is a significant risk factor for developing diseases of the lung such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, according to the researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.The study is published in a paper titled "A Critical Role for LTA4H in Limiting Chronic Pulmonary Neutrophilic Inflammation," appearing in the September 2 issue of Science.PGP is a biomarker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is implicated in neutrophil persistence in the lung. The enzymes released by neutrophils can cause particular damage in the lung, where they can attack collagen, selectively cutting out a molecular fragment known as PGP. This fragment in turn recruits more neutrophils, potentially leading to a vicious circle of damage.The investigators found that in acute neutrophil-driven inflammation, LTA4H, which generates the inflammatory mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4), degraded PGP and thus facilitated the resolution of inflammation. In contrast, cigarette smoke, another major risk factor for COPD, selectively inhibited LTA4H aminopeptidase activity, which led to the accumulation of PGP and neutrophils. The researchers believe that the research may have implications for the development of new drugs aimed at treating acute and inflammatory diseases. However, as well as working to reduce inflammation, LTA4H more commonly works to promote inflammation. Therefore, drugs aimed at inhibiting the pro-inflammatory activity of LTA4H could result in preventing degradation of PGP, causing potential lung damage, they caution.

As most face-off guys would agree, the clamp is the most common move in lacrosse. Proper stance and technique can make the clamp one of a fogo's most valuable tool. The move consists of rolling your wrists in order to rotate the backside of your head over the ball, while simultaneously driving the bottom of your shaft with your left hand towards the offensive side of the field. Wrist and forearm strength are also a very important aspect of having an effective clamp.
Slight changes in body position and focus of your weight can easily tweak a standard clamp into a power move. Using your legs, core and upper body, a quick transfer of weight from your feet towards the ball can mean the difference between a stalemate and control of the ball in some situations. However, it is important to keep yourself in a position where you can quickly chase a ground ball. There is a fine line between overpowering your move and remaining quick to loose balls. Do not leave your feet at the faceoff X!
Contrary to power moves, quick moves are often most effective against an opponent with slow hands or feet. The ability to abruptly remove the ball from the X before Joe Shmoe can react will often result in fast breaks or control of the ball. Rakes, jumps and quick clamps are some of the quickness moves that have been the most effective for me.
Deciding what moves are best to use usually relies on your opponent. Watch the enemy's hands before the game, or in film session. Look for the way in which they hold the stick, if their wrists are parallel to the ground or more upright, and what their stance looks like. All of these aspects can be crucial in determining what types of moves will be most efficient.
Stay Classy,

Milwaukee playoff-bound again
April 11, 2014
The Milwaukee Admirals clinched a berth in the 2014 Calder Cup Playoffs with a 4-1 win over Rockford on Friday night.
The Admirals, top development affiliate of the NHL's Nashville Predators, are heading to the postseason for the 12th year in a row, the longest active streak in the American Hockey League. (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is also closing in on their 12th consecutive playoff appearance this year.)
Filip Forsberg scored two goals in Friday's win and Marek Mazanec stopped 26 of 27 shots for Milwaukee, which improved to 13-4-0-1 in its last 18 games.
The Admirals' clinch leaves two spots open in the Western Conference playoff draw with five teams still in contention. Rochester (78 points) and Oklahoma City (77 points) currently occupy seventh and eighth place, trailed by Charlotte (77), Rockford (75) and Utica (75).

The tuxedoed groom stands at the altar, beaming as his bride begins her slow march down the aisle. The bride, in an off-the-shoulder blush chiffon gown, turns to him, placing both her hands in his.
"You are my heart, my soul, my life," he says, repeating vows they wrote themselves in a soft but firm voice. "My world changed when you came into my life," she replies tearfully. "Things happened I didn't think were ever going to be possible for me."
On March 30, at Ridglea Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, two people who had given up on love swore their eternal bond.
Dallas Cole Wiens, 28, kissed his bride but could not see her: Blind beneath his dark glasses, Dallas is the nation's first full face transplant patient, a living medical miracle after a freak electrocution accident in 2008 almost killed him.
Jamie Kaelyn Nash, 30, had the French lace on her wedding gown designed to blend into the ropey, pink scars that cover her arms and back; her sandals reveal only one manicured toe on her right foot, the results of life-threatening injuries from a fiery 2010 car wreck.

Hit the Road, Jack by Robert Burleigh; illustrated by Ross MacDonald; Abrams Books for Young Readers ($17.95)
A jackrabbit be-bops his way across the United States ("Hello, America, here I come, From sea to shining sea!") in this exuberant picture book loosely inspired by Jack Kerouac's classic, "On the Road." MacDonald's sunny illustrations in watercolor and pencil crayon open on a marvelous note, a typewriter unfurling a seemingly endless piece of paper for Jack to follow like some yellow brick road (Burleigh's note at the end explains that Kerouac wrote his book on a single long roll of unbroken paper). The lively beat of the text propels the story along, as Jack starts his journey in New York City ("next stop, 42nd Street, Where Greyhound buses load ...") with jackrabbit bankers dressed to the nines. ("Moon-glow on the Hudson, Philly in the dawn, Throw kisses to the Liberty Bell, Hot coffee and you're gone.") Jack makes his way by bicycle, by hitchhiking, by truck, by train, each page opening to a new, beautifully lyrical paean to America. Whimsical, breezy, lovely, this is also a fun read-aloud ("The moon plays whoopsie-doopsie with the blackness of the night").
– Jean Westmoore
The Right Hand by Derek Haas; Mulholland Books, 272 pages ($25.99)
The spy novel continues to thrive because authors continue to find new ways of exploring the intrigue and subterfuge that keeps countries on edge with each other.
Screenwriter and novelist Derek Haas confidently strides into espionage with his adrenaline rush "The Right Hand."
A lean, no-nonsense plot starts on a high arc as "The Right Hand" swiftly progresses to its plausible, and quite poignant, finale. Haas brings the same sense of nonstop action, high drama and character studies that he brings to the hit NBC series "Chicago Fire," for which he is a scriptwriter, and to the 2007 Russell Crowe film "3:10 to Yuma."
"The Right Hand" is Austin Clay, an undercover agent in the CIA whose missions are so secret that even his bosses don't acknowledge them. Or him. The job suits this loner well as Austin prefers to live like "a ghost," unseen, unknown and uninvolved with those he meets. During the last three years as a "black ops" agent, his team has consisted of "exactly two members, his handler and himself."
Austin is sent to find a missing American operative who was captured in the Russian countryside.
But the missing agent is only the beginning of a conspiracy that has infiltrated the U.S. government. Austin fights off Russian hit men and tries to protect an innocent young Hungarian woman while trying to find out who is betraying who, and why.
Haas' cinematic background well serves "The Right Hand," which seems tailor-made for the movies. The vigorous pace never slows as Haas' sparse prose propels the plot that crisscrosses Europe. Haas introduces just enough spycraft to add intrigue but never to overwhelm his story.
In Austin Clay, Haas has created a credible action hero whose flaws show he still has a conscience, despite the often unsavory situations in which he's involved. "The Right Hand" should be just the beginning of Austin's adventures.

Original Jose Gonzalez Vampirella Pinup Art from Vampirella #102 (Jan, 1982)
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $3,162.50
In the early 1980s, Jose Gonzalez produced a series of approximately 30 Vampirella pinups, which were used as the backdrops of the table of contents pages in Vampirella. These works are widely recognized by collectors as the most desirable and definitive studies of Vampirella ever produced. They are as highly regarded by many collectors as original Vampirella cover art, and in fact are considerably rarer simply because so few were produced, and fewer still have survived. Each is a masterpiece of modern pin-up art, in a class by themselves. The offered artwork is one of what was at one time the largest collection of Gonzalez Vampirella pinups to ever be assembled, which at its peak numbered ten pieces. Only a few known pieces escaped inclusion in this collection, suggesting that there may be as few as thirteen or possibly fourteen examples of Gonzalez Vampirella table of contents pinup artwork in existence in the entire collecting world. A simply stunning and perfect example of Vampirella art and one of the several Gonzalez pinups which have been saved as the best to be offered last, from this extraordinary holding. This work was used as the backdrop to the title page of Vampirella #102 (January 1982 edition). It is in perfect condition, executed in pencils on white bristol, signed and dated 1981. The original artwork is accompanied by a copy of Vampirella #102. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000. SOLD FOR $3,162.50

Kutztown University students remain on edge following Friday's armed dorm invasion that left one person injured.
"The incident occurred around 1:45 in the morning. Our police were on the scene within a minute," said Matt Santos, director of university relations.
The victims were in their room in Deatrick Hall and got a knock at the door around 1:45 a.m., police said. When they opened the door, three men, two of whom had handguns, forced their way inside, police said.
The unknown intruders were dressed completely in black, including jackets, pants, shoes, gloves, skullcaps and an article of clothing that covered their face from the nose down, police said.
The would-be robbers searched the room and left without taking any property, but did hit one of the residents during the incident, police said.
"We will look at all of our security systems that we have in place: the front door, the swipe, you have to swipe a card to get in," said Santos.
Kutztown students said they are shocked by what happened.
"It doesn't make you feel comfortable. It doesn't make you feel good about your school," said Jess Kurts, a freshman who is friends with the victims. "It makes me think that what if we were down in the room when it happened, it's scary."
"We're here to better ourselves, get an education, and this simply is unacceptable," said Nicholas Imbesi, marketing chair of the university's student government board.
The student government organized a meeting Friday afternoon to discuss improved security measures that should be addressed with university officials, said Imbesi.
In the meantime, anyone with information about the dorm invasion can call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. The crime stoppers group is offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
University police urge students to report any suspicious persons or activity by calling extension 34001. Confidential information can be given by dialing extension 3TIPS or 38477.

In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient (Rico Parker) claims to be the son of an African dictator--a story that seems unnervingly plausible. What begins as a battle of wills between a young idealistic doctor (David Whalen) and his jaded superior (Sam Tsoutsouvas) over the appropriate course of treatment for his patient, eventually turns into something altogether different. Andrew S. Paul, director; Mark Clayton Southers, producer.11/01/2013

Turn of the Screw Adapted by Jeffery Hatcher, from the novella by Henry James, Turn of the Screw is "a total theatrical experience, a challenge for the imagination." An old English Manor House is filled with secrets, strange movements flicker in the underbrush, unidentifiable cries are heard in the moonlight, and abrupt coldness and breezes touch your imagination. Do the ghosts haunt the children? Or is it just her imagination? Joe Warik directs.11/02/2013

The famed Howell Mountain property was acquired by the Jackson family in 1996 and renamed the Keyes Vineyard in honor of the early farmer's pioneering viticultural contributions. Today, the historic ghost winery stands as a strong reminder of a 150-year old tradition of growing wine grapes within the thirty-mile stretch of the Napa Valley frontier.
In 1997, Atalon was created to revive the vineyard's past accomplishments and to build on the area's reputation for producing remarkable red wines. Although inspired by ghosts long gone, Atalon wines reflect a modern understanding of farming Napa's rugged mountains and valleys for the most balanced and expressive wines.
Drawing fruit from selected vineyards, the wines are a composite of vineyards stretching from the rolling hills of Napa-Carneros in the south to the peaks of Howell Mountain in the north. Atalon is dedicated to the true essence and flavor of the Napa Valley, a distinction defined by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. View all Atalon Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

HTC EVO 4G makes its way to the floor with supersonic speed
0. phoneArena 23 Mar 2010, 16:13 posted on
Sprint has finally announced the Superso... um, actually they announced the HTC EVO 4G - the first 4G-enabled Android smartphone. Read on for more interesting info...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. saneok (Posts: 78; Member since: 01 Oct 2009)
damn, next to this phone "The Incredible" doesn't look so incredible anymore.
7. herbiederb (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Jan 2010)
Sa... sa... sa... SUPERSONIC!! Sa... sa... sa... SOLD!!! "Quietly Brilliant" my ass.. that announcment sounded like a SONIC BOOM!.. instantly blowing away any smartphone on the market. This is truly a Superphone... no wonder Apple suing.
19. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Wait a minute wasn't you going HD2, and TMobile? ROFL......I agree with you here....who'd want an incredible or any other phone. Too bad no key board, but TP3, and Win7 is the next HTC Sprint Sonic Boom.
21. oddmanout (Posts: 442; Member since: 22 May 2009)
haha i gotta agree with both of you... this kills any existence of what we know of a cell phone as of this day. I will most definitely be first in line. And sprint has the everything data plan... ohh boyyy. I think sprint is actually making a move for at&ts place.
38. omarc26 (Posts: 360; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
40. herbiederb (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Jan 2010)
I am getting the HD2 tommorow.. and this later this summer. Who says I cant own two 4.3" phones? : )
43. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Show off....but I must say that's why I am thinking getting aTP2 with the 6.53 update until this arrives, but then I'd want A Win7 TP3 this Xmas!
46. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
tp3 is smaller then the tp2 and has win mobile 6.5
51. herbiederb (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Jan 2010)
Its been my plan all along... chk my previous posts. WP7S will have to go 1 generation before Ill get into it.. kind of like the 1st yr of a new production car. Dont want to beta test. btw... this is the song Ive had stuck in my head all day... Sprint needs to license this for commercials and change that Evo name back to SUPERSONIC! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
53. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Dude thats the Tera...Not the TP3. Where did you get this misinformation. The Tera was mis appropiated the TP3 in error.
56. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
You did mention that you wanted an HD2, and Sprint does needs to market this like Apple did the I phone; from now until the summer. They have the momentum with this buzz all over wall street, and the news Media. It would be a shame not to follow through, and let the public know about it through mass media blitzing like Apple did.
58. herbiederb (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Jan 2010)
I meant.. my plan was to get HD2 AND SUPERSONIC. Theres no way for Sprint to fumble this one... even if the do ZERO advertising.. the phone is THAT HOT. I just hope they get the WiMax on in NYC before this comes on so everyone can get in on some of that video conferencing love. Also... Jobs and his team must be scrambling right now to get a front facing camera on their next Iphone... to bad its on pos ATT.

Ya I just ordered my HD2!!! This phone looks pretty amazing as well. Just sucks that once I get my HD2 and you guys get your 4G it will be outdated and we'll want the next shiny device, and I'll buy it!!!!!!
90. iHateCrapple (Posts: 734; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
Looks like HTC is finally using micro-USB? Awesome!
2. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
this thing is amazing!!! stupid iphone contract isnt up until december... any speculation on the cost of this thing? I'm guessing $4-500 with a contract...plus 4G contract will be expensive too
18. jbroots3 (Posts: 104; Member since: 29 Jan 2010)
sprint bought back my friends iphone 3gs for like $230, so it wont even matter, it'll pay for your cancellation!
37. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
I was hoping to sell my iphone and use it to pay for the phone, not the cancellation... i can wait until december...
52. herbiederb (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Jan 2010)
ETF that biatch!
3. rtimi26 (Posts: 42; Member since: 16 Mar 2009)
It does look nice but put next to the Samsung Galaxy S, the screen will be trumped. I can't wait for a comparison review.
23. oddmanout (Posts: 442; Member since: 22 May 2009)
fuck samsung. theyre phones are shit.
31. simplyj (Posts: 404; Member since: 23 Dec 2009)
the galaxy s has an amoled screen while the evo has a lcd screen. so yeah

Sprint 4G Expands Coast-to-Coast from Los Angeles to Miami Today SPRINT announced plans to launch Sprint 4G in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Miami, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City and St. Louis. This is in addition Boston, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco and Washington D.C. already slated for 2010.

nice phone but that and being the 1st to have 4g won't turn there churn rate around.
12. jbroots3 (Posts: 104; Member since: 29 Jan 2010)
28. oddmanout (Posts: 442; Member since: 22 May 2009)
haha stop hating and face the facts. This will be the best phone on the US market with the fastest network... at least this year.
10. testman22 (Posts: 338; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT! Please Verizon, get something like this phone. My dream phone wish list is completed on this phone 1) 4.3 " screen 2) Android 2.1 3) 8 MP camera 4) 2nd Front camera!??!?! SWEET 5) Sense UI 6) Snap Dragon Processor 7) HDMI output 8) 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM OMG, this is THE phone i've been waiting for. now just send one to verizon asap
15. jbroots3 (Posts: 104; Member since: 29 Jan 2010)
or just switch carriers and pay less each month *thumbs up*
54. testman22 (Posts: 338; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
yea i'll pass on the sprint network, thanks anyways
62. jbroots3 (Posts: 104; Member since: 29 Jan 2010)
for the record, i live in south florida and ive seen the coverage maps recently for a ton of the major/mid-major u.s. cities and theyve been adding more of their non-4g towers here in the last month or so, and it has been under the radar quite a bit. it hasn't been a terrible network to begin with... where signal is available obviously.
73. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
who cares about 4g? this phone is like the "dream list" of android phones. I hope they pop this baby on multiple carriers (come ooon Tmo!) cuz im not switchin carriers unless i quit or get fired.. LOL
81. DonLouie (Posts: 594; Member since: 22 Dec 2008)
You'll soon come to grips with the fact that no toher carriers will have 4G anytime soon nad the wait for devices will be well after this one
11. bossmann20 (Posts: 38; Member since: 23 Mar 2010)
I am definetly getting one!!! Bump the Pre I have!
13. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
What will they charge us for 4G service is the question, not to mention how much for the phone! Anyone wanting a phone outside of a need for a physical keyboard this is the best phone bar none.
76. euphoriccarnage (Posts: 1; Member since: 24 Mar 2010)
currently there is no difference in cost for the 3g/4g plans in comparison to the straight 3g plan. this is not expected to change when the 4g handsets launch.
14. xmguy1 (Posts: 68; Member since: 04 Nov 2009)
OH GOD! *DROOLS*!!! I want it on VZW. But the cost plus VZW 4G isn't even up yet.
16. jamess661 (Posts: 44; Member since: 12 Sep 2009)
Front facing camera on a sprint device man things are changing. Hope this plan prices dont kill me but what a device just sexy sleek black any one knows the speeds we should be getting.
84. thunder18 (Posts: 126; Member since: 06 Aug 2009)
Whatever the plan price, I'm sure it'll be cheaper than AT&T and Verizon smartphone plans.
27. Hotzb22 (Posts: 105; Member since: 30 Mar 2009)
it has a front facing camera also
30. oddmanout (Posts: 442; Member since: 22 May 2009)
this is a stupid question.
34. phone333 (Posts: 331; Member since: 04 Feb 2009)
8MP in the back and 1.3MP in the front.... BOOYA !
35. jbroots3 (Posts: 104; Member since: 29 Jan 2010)
it's a fair question. dont be a hater
20. Mali Mal (Posts: 35; Member since: 09 Apr 2008)
Hello VZW and IPhone fanboys. U may drool all over this phone now thanks!! This has to be the best phone of all time!!
22. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I must say tht this is a phone id pay for. im not into an all-touchscreen phone, but its a nice phone to have. i have sprint and im eligible for an upgrade in may so i can hold out till this phone is available. this phone is as close to the i-phone as sprint is gonna get
32. oddmanout (Posts: 442; Member since: 22 May 2009)
are you really comparing this to the iphone? as if the iphone is better? LMAO! This phone is on a whole nother level then the iphone.
57. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
as an AT&T employee, im not biased to say tht the i-phone is the best phone ever. it did change the way we view phones, but this phone is very nice and i give sprint its props for having phones that are worth paying for. the only thing tht makes the i-phone vulnerable is the AT&T network which could supernova at any time lol. my woman has the i-phone and im gonna get this phone and say that mine is better than hers by a long shot lol
85. thunder18 (Posts: 126; Member since: 06 Aug 2009)
+1 for that! I wish I could be there when you go to work that day at AT&T and bust out your Evo.
25. Hotzb22 (Posts: 105; Member since: 30 Mar 2009)
i think im going to cry ;-)
26. InstinctDemon (Posts: 74; Member since: 09 Nov 2009)
**rubs eyes** **blink, blink** **rubs eyes** **catches breath** **musters strength to speak** WOW!! 8 megapixel camera AND HD Video output? DAMN! **rubs eyes again**
33. AZNphoneGeek (Posts: 200; Member since: 15 May 2009)
my friend has an iPhone and theres an ap that pumps out little EVO babies and they poop and pee hundred dollar bills. their middle fingers are little ATT cell antennas so you have perfect reception all the time. and after you open up the app, your iPhone sprouts wings and washes your car. PPPPPPPPTTTTBBTH. hey sprint....THIS EVO PHONE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. not an iPhone killer, a cellphone crusher. nice job HTC. this thing is great!
36. underwood2012 (Posts: 53; Member since: 12 Sep 2009)

Cost of Bush's wars ignited fiscal crisis
Republicans are blaming President Obama for runaway spending and the debt America faces. Let's not forget what the Bush-Cheney administration started in Iraq. A loss of thousands of lives and an $811 billion price tag so far, with no end in sight. We are told the war is over, but the killing goes on. Money is still being spent to bolster a corrupt government and kickbacks from criminal contractors, many of whom are linked to people in high places. We will regret this for years to come. President Dwight Eisenhower said, "beware of the military-industrial complex."

We're in Charlottesville, VA
Show two coins, a half dollar and an English penny. Place them in your closed hand. Remove one, show it, place it in your pocket. Open your hand- both coins are still there! Repeat this several times, if you wish. Finally, as a climax, after removing a coin and placing it in your pocket, open your hand- it's empty! Both coins have vanished!
Completely mechanical and easy to do. This version comes with an expanded shell (a $24.00 value!) that can be used by itself to do other tricks.
The Hopping Half- Regular Version is a less expensive version of this trick, but uses all gimmicked coins and does not come with an expanded shell.
History and Trivia: J.N. Hofzinzer invented the Coin Shell in the mid-1800s. Conrad Haden invented the Expanded Shell. Then Jim Boyd took both ideas and developed the Hopping Half trick in 1967. Is it illegal to use real US coins to make magic tricks? According to the U.S. Treasury F.A.Q., the answer is- No. It is only illegal to alter a US coin with the intention of spending it as if it were a coin of a different value.From the official U.S. Treasury website: "Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who 'fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.' This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it [in a monetary transaction in trade for goods or services] to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.

Potala Rasa - An Oriya Curry
I found some fresh parwals and had to get them, esp after seeing this post from Satrupa. This is only the second time I'm using potol/parwal/pointed gourd and the first time trying an Odiya dish. I did not have ginger. Then I forgot to add garam masala. Added a clove of garlic that the original does not call for. Plus my shortcut of adding coconut and tomato in the ground paste. Still, an absolutely delicious dish. Here is how I did it.
1/2 kg parwal, slit lengthwise
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
To grind:
2 onions, medium
Cinnamon - 1"
Coriander Seeds - 2 tsp
Garlic - 1 pod
2 green chilies
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 tbsp shredded coconut
Heat oil in a pressure pan and fry the parwals for 3-4 minutes. Keep aside.
To the same pan, add the ground masala. Fry for 4-5 minutes, until the raw smell is gone.
Add turmeric, sugar and salt. Mix well.
Slide in the parwals. Cover and cook for one whistle.
If using a regular pan, add a couple tbsps of water. Then cover and cook until soft.
Serve with rotis.
Be sure to check the original recipe here. Thanks, Satrupa!

Suni - good to see your comment :) I never tried parwals until recently. Better late than never, lva?
Jay - I had not even seen these veggies until I moved to Bangalore. Nice vaggie - takes on the flavors of the masala easily. Do try at least once.

it is another word for vagina, but more of a girly term used by tifany k. jen k. erin M. and myself. we like to use this word becuz it is nicer and clever, other than just saying, "oh guys look what i have sprouted on my VAGINA!" instead its "oh look! my pee-china has sprouted odd figures!"
"oh my gosh mommy, your so hott, let me touch your pee-china!"
