How did you get into wine/How did you become The Wine Coach?
It really goes back to a job I had in software sales. I was living in Federal Hill at the time. I was selling to Fortune 100 food and beverage companies. I came to find out quickly that lots of deals were made over dinner. And, really, at the time, I was definitely more of a beer drinker than a wine drinker. But I ended up at these business meetings where we'd be ordering wine and every now and then I'd be handed the wine list, and I just had really no clue where to start.
At that time, I started taking classes to just kind of educate myself about wine so I could just impress my clients or, at least, just not look foolish. That was my initial reason for getting into wine. And then, as I got more and more into it, and fell in love with wine, and had the pleasure of traveling to wine country, and starting to have a small little collection of my own, I wanted to share that with my friends and family. At some point, down that road, I started thinking about changing careers, because I was a little bit sick of being a road warrior. I thought, 'I have no idea what I'm going to do next,' and I worked with a life coach, and we looked at the things I loved and wine was one of them. And I thought, 'Wow, I can do that for a living?' So, like any sane individual, I quit my six-figure software job in the beginning of 2001, moved to New York City, and started studying wine, and here I am.
What did you discover is the most common misconception about wine?
It's hard to limit it to one, but a big one, is we tend to think that if it's expensive, then that's got to be the best wine. A lot of our insecurities and hang-ups about it are leftover from way back when, when only the wealthy people could afford to have wine because the only wines available were those from Europe. Even if you look back to the '80s, we didn't have the variety of affordable wines from all over the world that we have today. So, I can find an amazing $15 wine, but a lot times people think, 'I'm going to be embarrassed if I don't order than designer label that everybody's heard over. That's the only good wine.' It's just not true.
The second thing is you really have to learn to get the confidence to trust your own taste. It doesn't matter if it's a $300 bottle of wine that some famous sommelier thinks is the best. If you don't like it . . . You can't substitute someone's taste for your own.
What are some of your personal holiday traditions with wine?
I am a huge sparkling wine fan. I say that because we're talking about the holidays, but I think people should drink them all year round. So many times, it's so ingrained in our brains, here, in this country, that it's a New Year's or holiday wine to bring out, so certainly I always have that, but it's not always the most expensive cuvee from Champagne. I'm a big fan of some of the more affordable sparklers that are great for holidays but also year round, like Spanish Cava. Cava is made in the northeast part of Spain—a region called Penedès—and it's made exactly like Champagne but with Spanish grapes, so it's still an artisanal process, but you can find really wonderful versions in that $15-20 range. There's one called Mont Marçal that I'm a big fan of. There's another one, Kila Cava, and many more that are just very clean and crisp, with good fruit and are similar in style to Champagne.
The other one I love to have around the house during the holidays is Prosecco. That's a little bit fruitier, a little bit softer than Champagne or a Cava. But everybody seems to like it. Even beer drinkers that aren't normally down with trying wine, can warm up to a Prosecco. And if you have a little peach puree on hand, or any kind of fruit puree, add it to a Prosecco, and that makes a bellini.
I've done holiday things where I'll put out a Prosecco bar. So I'll have a couple bottles of Prosecco out, an ice bucket, and various fruit purees that you can make your own bellini. It's just a fun activity for people at the party to make their own Prosecco cocktail. Sometimes you have people who love dry wines but then you have your Aunt Sally who wants something a little bit sweeter, so she can make a bellini, and everybody's happy.
Certainly, if I'm having a smaller gathering with people who like Champagne, I think there's nothing better than the real deal, a nice grower Champagne. What I mean by that is a smaller producer where they grow their own grapes and make their own Champagne. A lot of the larger houses that we're used to, the big names, they buy the grapes from many different smaller growers, and then they're making a lot more Champagne than a lot of these smaller growers. I think it's fun to have some of the big names that we know and love like Veuve Clicquot, then also try out some of the small growers. It's like having a craft beer versus the bigger names. And don't forget that we make great sparkling wine on the West Coast, and really all over the country. There are a lot of domestic sparklers that I love as well.
A lot of people want to give wine as a gift around the holidays, what are good tips for people looking to buy a wine for someone they don't know very well?
First let me address the wine snobs that we all know. There are some people who are just so serious about their wine collections or what they love, and are very defined about what they like. In my book, The Sipping Point, I actually have a chapter called "Great Gifts for Cork Dorks," for your wine geeky friends. Sometimes, I think wine is not the best thing to buy for that person. Unless you're buying something they already know, I wonder if you're going to be able to make them happy. I think to look at accessories—like a really nice wine decanter or a special set of two of those really humungous read wine glasses, or aerators are really hot right now—can sometimes be a better way to go.
But, outside of that, it is good to know a little something about what that person likes. But if you don't have that insight, and you just need to have some bottles around for last minute, I love having a wine that you know you already like yourself. Maybe there's some sort of story for you about that wine. Maybe it's a special wine you had at dinner with your husband or you date for a certain meal. Maybe you visited the winery. Maybe it's from Australia, and you honeymooned there. I think that, while the wine has to be great, people love the story, too. I always like to connect in that way. So, when I pick things out, I try to have some thoughtful reason in addition to the fact that it tastes delicious.
What do you do if you have non-drinkers coming to a holiday party and you don't want them to feel left out?
First of all, I need more of these kind of friends. Point them in my direction! Overall, for everybody, water, water, water is so important. People tend to forget about water for some reason when they're going through their planning for their corporate holiday party or their function at home. Make it easy: Have bottled water or pitchers of water around. Because, if you are drinking, you want to keep hydrated so that you feel fine the next day. But, you want to offer your non-drinkers more than just the water option, right? So, if you're going to do the Prosecco or Champagne cocktail bar that I described, have a sparkling cider or grape juice that's non-alcoholic there so they can take part in the same exact activity. They can still make their bellini, just not with Prosecco. There also is a great recipe that I've used for parties for mock Champagne. Basically, you're doing four cups of both soda and ginger ale and then three cups of unsweetened white grape juice. It's back to the old punch bowls. You can make a fun little punch like that for your non-drinkers.
What are your thoughts on the Maryland wine industry?
I think every state in the union makes wine now. So each state is going to achieve its own personal best when it comes to wine. The growth of the industry is so exciting. I've been one of the judges for the Maryland Governor's Cup for eight or nine years now. The difference in the quality and number of wines available from when I started to just this last year is just astonishing. We have a ton more wineries in every part of the state, and the bar is raised every single year, for the existing wineries and for the start-ups. Boordy just won the Governor's Cup this year with their Landmark Reserve Red, which is fabulous, and Black Ankle is doing some amazing things out in Mt. Airy. Knob Hall out in the Gaithersburg area really making some fabulous stuff. And then here, on the Eastern Shore even, we have St. Michaels Winery and lots of other great wineries popping up all over. I think it's only going to get better and we're doing great things now. If people don't know that, they need to get out and start tasting some Maryland wines. Marylandwine.com has great resources for people to look at the trails and the wineries.
And that's a great gift right there! A lot of times you can call ahead and get a gift certificate from winery for a tasting and maybe a little wine basket. Or, some wineries offer food and some different events at their winery. If you have that person who has everything, maybe you get them an actual experience, or weekend, or an overnight at a B&B near the wineries—a lot of people do that with parents—rather than that bottle. There's nothing like being able to go out and speak to the winemaker and be in the space where they make the wine.
We had a nice sparkling wine from the southern part of Maryland in our competition this year, which was kind of cool to have a sparkling wine. As well as there's a place now that makes fermented cider and mead, which is fermented honey. So, I'm excited about it. You know, we move forward every year. I don't know if we could ever be Oregon because the wines are different, the soil is different. But what we're doing will be the best wine we can make in Maryland. I think we have plenty of wine that, in a blind tasting, would stand right up to wines of similar grape varietals from the West Coast of other parts of the world. I think it's all coming together. The consumers need to support the wineries, and the state really has to support the Winery Association too. I know other states get a little bit more funding. I know more money would certainly help them in marketing efforts. But grassroots, we can all get out to a winery and taste what they have and find something. Every winery has something that you can get behind.
What can you tell us about your wine app?
In July we were in Wine Enthusiast as one of the top eight wine apps in the country. So it's just been a great way for me to share wine suggestions and wine education with people right with their most-important asset: their phone. People I know now are sleeping with their phones! If folks are looking for suggestions, I do have a free iPhone and Android app. It's called The Wine Coach, and on my website, www.thewinecoach.com/apps and the links to download are there. And I have tons of wine suggestions in there for every different style, along with the descriptions, and some clips from my radio show. So that's the resource to go to.

124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
You get all the style and cool of an original Vespa, wrapped up in a package with modern reliability and running gear. If you're commute is primarily on busy city roads the engine and handling are spot on. But the GTS struggles out on the open road.
278cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group
The 278cc engine gives the Beverly plenty of poke around town and out on the road and the handling inspires confidence. It looks slightly girly in pictures, but in the flesh it's not so bad, especially from the saddle, but it's definitely aimed at stylish city folk. Quite what possesed anybody to name it Beverly is anyone's guess, but Piaggio ...
278cc, 22.8bhp, 70mph, Insurance group
The Yourban is not cheap, but it is aimed at those with either no desire or experience of two wheels as it can be ridden on a car licence, so the sure-footed, reassuring and unintimidating Yourban may well be worth the premium over conventional scooters.
278cc, 22bhp, 85mph, Insurance group
The versatile Piaggio X7 300 Evo is a bit of a sneaky bargain – it's powered by the same brilliant 278cc motor as the Vespa GTS 300 (since the Piaggio Group owns Vespa) but it's £300 cheaper. Not everyone will be willing to sacrifice the Vespa style and logo, but if you're on a budget it's a cheaper way to ...
49cc, 4bhp, 35mph, Insurance group 2
The Piaggio Typhoon 50 has been around 16 years – as long as the teens allowed to ride it! Originally a cutting edge sports scooter, the lightweight Typhoon is still a lot of fun but is now at the bottom end of the sports 50 price scale, making it good value for money.
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.
398cc, 34bhp, 95mph, Insurance group
The largest incarnation of the Piaggio MP3 retains the same reassuring all-weather grip and stability afforded by the third wheel, but with more power for motorway cruising. It's no Goldwing, but if your daily commute mixes town work with high-speed open roads, this could be the motorcycle you're looking for.
244cc, 22.5bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio MP3 is mind-bending – not because of its speed, but because of how much confidence an extra front wheel affords. It opens motorcycling up to a new, safety-conscious commuter audience who wouldn't ride a motorcycle.

The California Democratic Party plans to mobilize to help defeat a proposed constitutional amendment in North Carolina that would make clear traditional marriage is the only domestic legal union recognized by the state.
California Democratic Party chairman John Burton released a statement Tuesday praising President Obama's announcement last week that he was opposed to the amendment on the May 8 ballot.
Burton said the party will be in touch with Democrats in his state on ways to get the word out on the amendment.
Jeremy Kennedy with the anti-amendment group Coalition to Protect NC Families says he's been told the California party is committed to getting Democrats involved there by making phone calls to North Carolina voters.
The amendment also would affirm a current state law banning gay marriage.

SOURCE Dorel Industries Inc.
MONTREAL, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - In a continuation of its strategy to become the global leader in the recreation and leisure markets, Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A) today announced that its Recreational/Leisure segment is restructuring its operations to enhance its competitiveness.
Among the global initiatives, toward the end of the current calendar year, the segment will close its assembly and testing facility in Bedford, PA and leverage the strengths and capabilities of its global resources, third party partners, and existing facilities to simplify and optimize its business model. Operations currently performed at Bedford, including manufacturing, assembly, testing, quality control and customer and technical services are expected to be redeployed by the end of calendar 2014.
In addition, Recreational/Leisure will relocate its research and development facility in Bethel, CT to the segment's new headquarters in Wilton, CT., and will convert its former retail lab in Bethel to accommodate GURU Academy activities. The value of the former Bethel headquarters will be written down to reflect the market value of the property.
As such, the segment will incur approximately US$14-US$16 million pre-tax in restructuring charges associated with its plan of which 70% are non-cash and expects to realize annualized cost savings of at least US$6 million once the restructuring is completed in late 2014. Approximately 100 employees will be affected globally once all changes are implemented.
"The objective is to accelerate operational excellence at our
Recreational/Leisure segment by strengthening its working relationships
with its global partners," said Peter Woods, Global CFO & Interim
Recreational/Leisure President. "In particular, we want to
significantly reduce development and supply chain lead times, improve
cost structures and operating margins, and enhance quality while
lowering warranty costs."
"Today marks the beginning of the next phase in Dorel's evolution as a global bicycle and apparel company. This plan will result in higher quality products and services for our customers and consumers," stated Jeffrey Schwartz, Chief Financial Officer.
Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) is a world class juvenile products and bicycle
company. Dorel creates style and excitement in equal measure to safety,
quality and value. The Company's lifestyle leadership position is
pronounced in both its Juvenile and Bicycle categories with an array of
trend-setting products. Dorel's powerfully branded products include
global juvenile brands Safety 1st, Quinny, Maxi-Cosi, Bébé Confort and Tiny Love, complemented by
regional brands such as Cosco and Infanti. In Recreational/Leisure,
brands include Cannondale, Schwinn, GT, Mongoose, Caloi, IronHorse and
SUGOI. Dorel's Home Furnishings segment markets a wide assortment of
both domestically produced and imported furniture products, principally
within North America. Dorel has annual sales of US$2.6 billion and
employs 6,300 people in facilities located in twenty-four countries

Certain statements included in this press release may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian
securities legislation. Except as may be required by Canadian
securities laws, Dorel does not undertake any obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements, by
their very nature, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and
are based on several assumptions which give rise to the possibility
that actual results could differ materially from Dorel's expectations
expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements and that the
objectives, plans, strategic priorities and business outlook may not be
achieved. As a result, Dorel cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are provided in
this press release for the purpose of giving information about
Management's current expectations and plans and allowing investors and
others to get a better understanding of Dorel's operating environment.
However, readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use
such forward-looking statements for any other purpose.
Forward-looking statements made in this press release are based on a number of assumptions that Dorel believed were reasonable on the day it made the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements include: general economic conditions; changes in product costs and supply channel; foreign currency fluctuations; customer and credit risk including the concentration of revenues with few customers; costs associated with product liability; changes in income tax legislation or the interpretation or application of those rules; the continued ability to develop products and support brand names; changes in the regulatory environment; continued access to capital resources and the related costs of borrowing; changes in assumptions in the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets and subject to dividends being declared by the Board of Directors, there can be no certainty that Dorel's Dividend Policy will be maintained. These and other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements are discussed in Dorel's annual MD&A and Annual Information Form filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The risk factors outlined in the previously mentioned documents are specifically incorporated herein by reference.
Dorel cautions readers that the risks described above are not the only ones that could impact it. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Dorel or that Dorel currently deems to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date hereof. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. Dorel therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way Dorel presents known risks affecting the business.

Oh. Dear. The Alp Horns might appeal to the youth of today, but those wanting any kind of sound quality should look elsewhere.
Music sounds dull, unnatural, unbalanced and unrefined. Knock a zero off the price and they'd still struggle to rise above a solitary star. Awful is an understatement.

My First Place
More from the showKira Langnese and Rodney Cook are a part-time family determined to live together full-time in their first place. Kira and their 1-year-old son, Makaih, live an hour away with Kira's mentor, while Rodney lives in his parents' basement in Portland, Ore. They can't stand seeing each other only on weekends, but a full year's worth of saving free rent enabled them to put down $5,000 to buy a three-bedroom ranch in Salem, Ore. They've never lived together, as a couple or a family, and don't know how to negotiate a style for their living room. Designer Jennifer Adams will take that off their plate and give them a space that inspires this new family.

Steve Saleen Wins Name Back From Bankrupt Company
Nope, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Steve Saleen announced today that he's regained control of the Saleen brand, five years after "retiring
Nope, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Steve Saleen announced today that he's regained control of the Saleen brand, five years after "retiring
Like Carroll Shelby before him, Steve Saleen is a former racer who has made a name for himself building performance cars. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Saleen Focus N2O may not have the cachet of Carroll's name, but is its price noteworthy?
Steve Saleen's SMS has taken a crack at the new 5.0-liter Mustang with the naturally-aspirated, SMS 302 Mustang producing 440HP/400lb-ft of torque and the roots-supercharged 535HP/450lb-ft SMS 302SC Mustang. Of course there's a whopping-big spoiler and also the upcoming 351X.
If you want a 200 MPH+ car, your options are limited. If you want one that also waves the Made in America flag, they're even more limited. But don't worry, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has got your back.
How do you get a 5.7 Hemi to make 700 HP? With a whopping great big supercharger, that's how. But don't worry, the rest of the SMS 570X Challenger
If you watch the film you'll notice a lot of Saleen vehicles running around. Not only are these "extra cars" from the Saleen family of products, they're actually the Saleen family's personal vehicles. The white GT is Steve's personal vehicle. The orange Saleen S302 PJ, designed to pay homage to Parnelli Jones, is…
The 2010 Ford Mustang
SMS, Steve Saleen's new operation, wants to sell 2005-09 Mopar Hemi owners a supercharger that the company claims can bump underhood horsepower by as much as 45%. The SMS 296 supercharger has some unique features, including an internal intercooler and a low profile, letting the blower sit between the cylinder banks and …
Though no longer head of Saleen, Inc.
They may have taken his company
When we first saw the Saleen S5S
One thing we didn't know about the new 2008 Dodge Viper is Steve Saleen's helping to build them. And by helping to build them we mean is he's painting all of the body panels, with Prefix doing the racing stripes for the 'merican side of the still-a-German-American hybrid. Who knew? Not us. [via YWV]
Founder and Vice-Chairman of Saleen Motorsports Steve Saleen has officially retired from the company's executive team. Steve Saleen is shown here with Carrol Shelby, and series sweeping SCCA Mustang driver Rick Titus. Mr. Saleen himself will continue on as the Ambassador of the Saleen brand in order to help prevent any …
We received the following tip from a very reliable source about the specialty vehicle manufacturer, Saleen:
We've heard that tensions have been rather strained between the folks at FoMoCo and the Saleen team — which is one of the reasons Steve-O's...
Steve Saleen, founder of Saleen, Inc. and customizer of all things FoMoCo since 1984, says that the niche vehicle maker is, "open to building specialty cars for automakers in addition to Ford Motor Co." In a recent interview with Ward's Auto, the sassy Saleen said, "It has to make business sense and fit in with our…

Asus ME172V specs, first images and price leak out: the $129 tablet?
There are a few slight details - the Asus ME172V won't be of the Nexus brand, instead it would just be a regular Android tablet by Asus. And the $99 price will actually be more like $129 to $149 (make this €129 to €149 for Europe). Still, it looks like a thing that will sell like hotcakes.
The ME172V will be a 7-inch tablet that will bear close resemblance to the Nexus 7 in terms of looks and design. It will come in either black or white, and will be offered in a Wi-Fi-only version, no 3G/4G cellular connectivity model is expected.
We also know that it will be built out of "simple" materials (our guess is good ol' plastic), but still have an excellent price to quality ratio. Finally, here is what you've all been waiting for, the leaked specs and pictures.
Asus ME172V specs
Operating system: Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Screen: 7-inch 1024 x 600-pixel TN type display (not an IPS screen like on the Nexus 7)
Processor: VIA WM8950
Memory: 1GB of RAM
Storage: 16GB SSD
Camera: 1.3 megapixel front camera
source: Notebookitalia.it
Thanks, Marco!

big difference?

tn is even worse than TFT
9. pahel (Posts: 4; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Both TN and IPS are TFT. Thanks for your expert opinion but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Love to see a preview on PA

an unknown brand of processor?.. idk but that doesnt sound promising to hear...if it is overclocked quad core then that will do the trick against Nexus 7...
2. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1059; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
and asus will take the cake in budget tabs once again!
3. Captain_Doug (Posts: 730; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I just wish it was a dual core processor. The RK3066 seems pretty affordable yet powerful. Same with the Novathor 9540 and up. Much more powerful and usable.
edit: Would love to throw this in a car dash like that one guy with the N7. However at $130-$150, I wouldn't ever feel the need to take it out.

Asus Memo Pad :D
6. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I hope it will be equipped with dual core processor, KAI processors from nvidia.

11. ocilfa (Posts: 283; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
Question is, does it have micro-sd? I cant tell from the pics.
13. GeneralBacon (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Dec 2012)
Probably not, as most tablets don't
12. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5470; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
mm, not bad. it'll probably have ASUS's custom UI which isn't a bad thing but it's another differentiator from the N7.

This was an amazing story!! Loved reading it.
Author's Response: Thank you! If you like this, you should take a look at my other story, Other Lives and Dimensions and Possibly a Love Story.
Ooo I think you should post the epilogue! Great chapter :-)
Author's Response: Thank you!
Wow. Just finished reading. This story was beautiful, yet incredibly bitter and sad. So tragically great. Loved it! Tbh at times James seemed a bit out of character, but I thought you captured Sirius amazingly.
Author's Response: Thank you!
Im dying!! Hahaah Sirius as a woman was hilarious, omg
Oh my Merlin this is so damn good
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Really good chapter! Please do publish the epilogue! Thankyou for all the writing you've done and posted on here! I love it all!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
This chapter was really good(: Petunia seemed so petuniaish (x which was awesome. And I loved Lily & James's conversation. The way he reacted to what she said, stuff like that. And the whole McGonagall and Elphias thing cracks me up(: And I really liked the last sentence(: and now im done, haha. Great chapter !
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Oooo, Cannot wait for the next chapters! Excellent story that keeps me guessing and interested
Author's Response: Thanks for your reviews! Next chapter will be in a couple of weeks or so :)
Yay for the updates!! Fantastic chapter :-)
i totaly agree with angelicalex1. we particularly knew why she refused. but i liked it anyway. soo much.and i laughed about james' bribe.and i liked Dumbledore interference! it's always sad when it comes to the order you konw. i love to see you've updated soon. and please let it be a long one!
Author's Response: Thank you!
To be honest, I think Lily's explanation was just a more extensive form of the excuses she's been giving for ages, and I read it thinking, that Voldemort is influencing her just as much by causing her to say all that. But it was still a really good chapter, I'm so glad they made up! And I love it that James has been talking to Petunia, and that Lily and Petunia have sort of made up! Thanks again for an amazing read, and for something really good to use for procrastination material before I do my homework! haha:) Keep writing fast, I love it when you do!!! Thankyou:)
Author's Response: Thank you!
Please continue writing this story as quickly as you have been lately, it's been great! I love reading this story and am always checking to see if you've updated, and I love it how you actually do update when so many of the unfinished fanfictions don't update anymore and have left us hanging. Thankyou so much, I can't wait for some more romantic moments between James and Lily! And I love reading some of your funny moments that make me laugh out loud, keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying reading :) The next chapter is in the queue now!
That was brilliant! SIGH, I finally feel like the story's heading somewhere xD - I'm more than holding you on to that confrontation between Lily and James!
Author's Response: Thank you!
I definitly hate Lily. why she just didn't talk to james. the bitch!! but i totally liked it. i definetly hope them get back together soon.
Author's Response: Nah, she's not a bitch. She's just really nervous and avoiding it, and the longer she avoids it the harder it gets to explain it.
ive read this story 4 times ... on to the 5th haha! this is one of the best prologue's to any story in general that i've read! :) keep up the amazing work!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you like it :)
I absolutely love your story! please keep writing!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Chapter 32 is in the queue and I've nearly finished writing 33.
oh my god!!!! that was awsome. i realy liked the jealous james. poor thing.:( and i realy liked that it wasn't short.please update next one soon.i'm waiting already. :D
Author's Response: The next chapter is in the queue! Thanks for your review :)
I liked this chapter alot. Those attacks are going to annoy me until I know more! :) Personally, I like that Lily said no. It adds another twist and makes you think about their relationship. I hope the next chapter comes out soon, this story is really good :)
Author's Response: I finished the next chapter last night! I'm just doing some minor tweaking and it should be in the queue shortly. Thanks for your review!
Honestly this chapter seems to be a staller for something... xD - the mood is getting more depressing, um, maybe do something to lighten t? Looking forward to you promise of Lily/James drama and the action xD
Author's Response: Thank you!
I really am curious to see how Lily can tie all these attacks together. Great chapter! Poor James for getting rejected though...Hopefully Lily comes to her senses soon!
Author's Response: I think you'll like the next chapter. Thanks for your review!

How to combine two scanned documents into one in OS X
When you scan a document into your system, OS X will create a single file of the scan and allow you to save it to the location of your choice. However, if you would like to combine scanned pages into one document, the system supports that option as well.
The first approach is to have the system scan a set of documents directly into a single file, which can be done by using the basic scanning features in Apple's Preview program. With your scanner attached and turned on, open the Preview program and select your scanner from the File … Read more

The BcS computers regard the BigXII (-4) as the best conference. That alone shows that the BcS computers need a reformat and a reboot. The computers have Oklahoma State as their #1 team, Oklahoma #4 (tied with Boise State) Kansas State #10, Texas #11, and Baylor #19 makes no sense to me.
Oklahoma lost to an unranked (and still unrakned) Texas Tech. OU has wins over an over-ranked Kansas State, way over ranked Texas, and unranked Texas A&M. The Sooners' win vs Florida State is hollow as FSU has dropped from top 10 to out of the polls. Oklahoma was the only BigXII (-4) team that was somewhat playing defense. They have been riddled by season ending injuries (to their top RB and WR in the last two weeks). OU is the class of the BigXII(-4) but that really isn't saying much.
Kansas State is a weak team, playing a weak schedule, with a weak defense, and weak offense. Their "best" win is vs Baylor who was ranked 15th at the time played. Baylor has since fallen from the rankings. When they played OU they were totally dominated and almost had a chance to win vs OSU, but both Oklahoma teams put up well over 50 points each on KSU.
Texas has played very weak teams and looked weak, two ranked teams and looked very weak. The human polls have Texas 21 and 20 but due to the unknown quantity of the BcS computers Texas is ranked 16th. The Longhorns' best win is vs an unranked Texas Tech squad or a 5-4 UCLA team.
I can only speculate that offense rankings is what is driving the BigXII(-4) so high and those offensive numbers are due in part to no BigXII team having a upper ranked defense.
Looking at the CBS Sports rankings I see a tragic injustice. Look at these Strength of Schedule rankings:
BigXII(-4) teams: OSU #7, Oklahoma #4, Texas #6, Kansas State #14, and Texas A&M #2
SEC teams: LSU #12, Alabama #15, Arkansas #56, South Carolina #16, and Georgia #40
HOW? LSU has played, and beaten, the #2 and #7 teams in the nation with a game vs another top 10 team coming up. They beat West Virginia, Auburn, Mississippi State and Florida when they were ranked. Arkansas has lost to the #2 team, then beat #9, and a top 25 ranked Auburn. Arkansas also beat a then ranked Texas A&M team.
No top ranked BigXII team plays more than three ranked teams (and they are all conference games). Also, none of them play more than one top 10 ranked team.
The Out of Conference wins still don't tip in the BigXII's favor. The SEC has out of conference wins vs Oregon, West Virginia, Texas A&M, Penn State, Connecticut, and Cincinnati.
The BigXii(-4) has OOC wins vs TCU, SMU, Arizona, BYU, Connecticut, Florida State, and Miami.
NONE of the BigXII(-4) OOC wins are vs teams that are now ranked.
The SEC's OOC wins are teams that are currently ranked (Oregon #7, Penn State #12, and Cincinnati #23). Two of the teams were ranked but they are either current BigXII(-4) members (Texas A&M) or future BigXII(-4) members (West Virginia.
Please someone let me know how we can get these computers reformatted and rebooted as there is a problem with their programming.

The father of the man who admitted to plotting a bomb attack on the city's subway system was found guilty this afternoon of trying to cover up his son's actions.
Mohammed Wali Zazi was convicted by a Brooklyn jury on one count of obstruction of justice and one count of conspiracy.
He faces a maximum of 40 years in prison when he is sentenced in December.
Prosecutors argued he hid evidence and lied to investigators about his son Najibullah's failed terrorist plot.
Zazi's nephew took the stand earlier this week as a government witness saying his uncle told him to "take care of the chemicals" after learning the FBI was on to the plot.
Defense lawyers for the elder Zazi, who lives in Colorado, say his imperfect grasp of English caused "miscommunications" with his relatives and with prosecutors.
Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty last year to supporting al-Qaeda and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.

The Miami Marlins are trying to snap a seven-game losing streak and end the season on a better note, but as always with this team, winning is getting increasingly difficult to do. The Philadelphia Phillies are coming to town in the penultimate series of the season at Marlins Park, and a likely paltry crowd will get to enjoy a lefty-lefty matchup between Mark Buehrle and Cliff Lee.
Pitching Matchup
Proj Win% | Proj ERA | FIP | ERA | Marlins | Phillies | ERA | FIP | Proj ERA | Proj Win% |
--- | --- | 4.32 | 3.84 | Buehrle | Lee | 3.18 | 3.07 | --- | --- |
Mark Buehrle is who he always is, except that as of late, he has been more erratic and certainly more homer-prone than usual. For a guy who has very little swing-and-miss stuff, Buehrle cannot afford to keep serving up long balls at the pace that he has as of late this year, especially since he has moved to the "easier" league in the National League.
The fact that Cliff Lee has only won six games this season is a travesty, or at least it would be if I cared about pitcher wins. He has a 3.18 ERA and 3.07 FIP and has been almost a five-win pitcher this season, and in this case I am talking about Wins Above Replacement. It has been an impressive feat for the Phillies to fail as badly as they have when Lee is on the mound.
Order | Player | Proj wOBA vs. LHP |
1 | Gorkys Hernandez | .275 |
2 | Bryan Petersen | .297 |
3 | Jose Reyes | .340 |
4 | GIancarlo Stanton | .400 |
5 | Carlos Lee | .337 |
6 | Donovan Solano | .291 |

Oh my goodness Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup. My joy can barely be contained.
Of course, Stanton has "returned" from an injury before, only to have to sit for a few games more directly afterwards. This does not mean that Stanton will play all throughout this series, or even this game, but with the Marlins going as poorly as they have, any good news is more than welcome.

Bold Prediction: Marlins def. Phillies 2-1

In a recent interview chavez jr came out and said that if the Martinez rematch doesn't happen ( probably because of Martinez rightfully insisting on more scrutinizing drug tests) he will move up to the super middleweight division and get this.... GO AFTER WARD!?!?
Do they need to run another drug test to see if he is on coke meth or bath salts now?!? This is insane Thoughts?... |

Maybe someone can translate this for me. All I read was "If Martinez doesnt give me the rematch I don't deserve anyway, because I got schooled in the fight I barely deserved to begin with, I'm going to go up to the weight I should have been at anyway, and fight a guy who I deserve to fight even less than Martinez, who will proceed to give me a boxing lesson even better than Sergio did."

Spyn Reset is very excited to announce their new single "Serendipity" to be released June 2013!
After the release of 2nd album "Four Dimensional Audio" the band has been building their reputation in 2012 performing Friday night monthly at Seattle's hot live music venue "The Triple Door." They have received positive feedback from their "Southern Roots" National Tour and have a current growing fan base throughout the U.S. and international radio airplay.
Building on the collaboration of four eclectic musicians, Spyn Reset evolved their sound toward Progressive Electronic Instrumental composition. Bands in the genre of Spyn Reset include Sound Tribe Sector 9, Lotus, Battles, Jaga Jazzist, Medeski Martin and Wood, Garage a Trois, Mars Volta, and Daft Punk.
Produced and engineered by Geoff Ott (engineer for Queen of the Stone Age, Three Doors Down, etc) of "London Bridge Studio" and mastered by Steve Turnidge (Ultraviolet Studios, The Recording Academy).

Coach Stuart Dixon and the Bulldog cross country team made the short trip to Bertram to participate in the Annual Run for your Oats race on Saturday during the Oatmeal Festival. The Bulldogs performed at a high level at this fun 3.3 mile race and stole the show with first place finished in both the male and female divisions.
"The team enjoys going to this race each year because the community gets to see the runners in action and the athletes get to race with runners of all ages. In addition, the runners get to see that running can be a lifelong activity, said Dixon.
"We did very well at this race, capturing the overall first place, as well as first place for the male and female divisions, added Dixon. See Wednesday's Burnet Bulletin for times and places.

While it is not known if local runner Leo Manzanos first running event of the 2012 Olympics will be shown in full on television, interested Marble Falls residents and University of Texas fans will have to wait until prime time to see him on NBC.
Marble Falls runner Leo Manzanos first race in the 2012 Olympics is 2:05 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3 (Texas time) in London.
The 2004 Marble Falls High graduate and two-time NCAA champion for the University of Texas is the top American qualifier in the 1,500-meter race, but Kenyans are considered the favorites in the event.

It's a great boot, easy on and off. Great sole for not bringing little rocks in the house. I know, they were to stay outside, that's why they're slip on. Yeah, they're not a Redwing boot, but I got these on sale for $69.00. Ya can't even walk in a Redwind store for $69.00. I'll buy them again when these wear out.

Raising 100,000 Voices Screening
Raising 100,000 Voices Screening
Tue, 05/10/2011 - 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Please join us for a public screening of a series of mini-documentaries produced by local teens.
In 2005 WXXI, the University of Rochester Medical Center's (URMC) Department of Psychiatry and The Roadwork For Success In Young Adulthood launched a national outreach initiative designed to encourage young adults to share, through video, community issues and hopes they face as emerging adults. The project, Raising 100,000 Voices, was such a success that funding continued, and the project partners are pleased to host their sixth public screening of new mini-documentaries on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 6 p.m. at Hatch Recital Hall, Eastman East Wing, 433 East Main Street, Rochester, NY 14604. The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required by calling (585) 258-0278. The screening is sponsored by WXXI, URMC, The Roadwork For Success In Young Adulthood, and the Eastman School of Music. More than 160 films have been produced and screened since the initiative launched. This year, a new group of teens were invited by eleven participating organizations to join some returning filmmakers and produce their own video projects. Approximately 30 videos will be screened at the May 10th premiere. Many of this year's videos are focused on health issues, and will be available for viewing after the May 10th screening at http://www.wxxi.org/education/raising100kvoices/.
Participating organizations of 2011 include: Charles Settlement House, Inc., Community Place of Greater Rochester, Inc.'s Youth-Adult Partnership/Sankofa Leadership Academy, Dazzle School of Visual and Performing Arts, Inc., General Elwell S. Otis School # 30 of the Rochester City School District (RCSD), Grace Community Village, Inc.'s Y.E.P.P., Operation Higher Learning, Inc. (OHL) with the Thomas P. Ryan Community Center, Teens Advocating Nonviolence (TAN) of Parsells Avenue Community Church, Rochester STEM High School of RCSD, School of Imaging and Information Technology at Edison of RCSD, and Youth in Progress.
Raising 100,000 Voices is funded in part by the Tauck Foundation. To learn more about this project, visit: wxxi.org/education/raising100kvoices/index.html
