Cellar/Tasting Notes " A brilliant effort, the 2007 Haut-Brion offers up aromas of crushed rocks, graphite, plum sauce, raspberries, and black cherries. The aromatics are truly complex for a three year-old wine... its elegance, finesse, and nobility are apparent. Medium-bodied, rich, and intense with stunning..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The backward 1996 Haut-Brion was bottled in July, 1998. Even administrator Jean Delmas was surprised by how closed it was when I tasted it in January. Only 60% of the crop was utilized in the final blend, which was 50% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Cabernet Franc. Out of barrel, this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "The blockbuster 2003 Haut-Brion (13% alcohol) possesses extremely high tannin, but that component is well-concealed by a cascade of mulberry, blackberry, cherry, and plum-like fruit. There is even a hint of figs under the blue and red fruit spectrum. While broad and ripe with a sweet, glyceral..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It is always interesting to taste this wine next to its stablemate, Laville Haut-Brion. While Laville has 80% Semillon in it, giving it more fat and concentration, Haut-Brion is 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon. This is a crisp yet powerful wine, full-bodied, with great minerality and a subtle..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A somewhat under-the-radar La Mission, the 2006 was generally overlooked following the brilliance of the 2005.

Complex aromatics of scorched earth, smoked herbs, and sweet red and black currants are followed by a full-bodied, silky-textured wine, but I have never felt this offering has possessed the concentration, texture, or multidimensional personality found in such vintages as 1989, 1990, and more..

Portrait of an Elderly Man, c. 1575Giovanni Battista MoroniItalian, c.1525-1578Oil on canvas 20 x 16-1/2 in. (50.8 x 41.9 cm) The Norton Simon Foundation F.1969.29.P © 2012 The Norton Simon Foundation On view Moroni can be counted among the greatest portrait painters of the sixteenth century. His brush recorded for posterity, with characteristic Lombard candor, the features of countless men and women of his native Bergamo. His male subjects are deadly serious, their thin lips tight, their eyebrows arched, conscious that they are being studied by the artist. In the present picture, the priming is visible through the thinly applied glazes, and the canvas weave presents its textured surface to the light. The extreme economy of detail is typical of Moroni's last period. It is a masterpiece of psychological penetration and objectivity and perfectly reflects the ethical values of the Counter-Reformation, which favored truth over idealization. View Provenance |

openSUSE to Celebrate 11.4 with Virtual Dance Party
Many large projects mark their significant releases with launch parties. Some become legend for their over-the-top festivities. Photos populate the share sites. Blogs are written for weeks following. But openSUSE has come up with a uniquely Gecko idea: a Secondlife.com virtual dance party.
On February 3, Bruno Friedman announced the clever launch party. In his announcement Friedman listed the three dates of March 9 10 & 11 2011 at 16:00 UTC. For those in the US that translates to 11:00 AM Eastern Time, 10:00 AM Central, or 8:00 AM Pacific. The location is described as Macedonia at 183,213,21 coordinates or search for the Geekos group and join. It's an all you can virtually eat, drink, and dance party. Of course there will be lots of pictures, installation movies, and discussions.
To test the electronic waters, a Release Candidate 1 launch party was held. About 50 participants crowded the dance floor at the two and a half hour event featuring Pop/Rock music and lots of comradery. The tests proved successful and as Friedman said, "The place rocks!"
Several DJ parties are planned for the coming weeks. DJ Britt will lead festivities on February 20, February 27, March 06, and March 13. DJ Lillith will host the main events on March 9, March 10, and March 11. Other intermediate events will also be held, so check time and dates at openSUSE.org.
Promotional t-shirts are being provided, so go pick your avatar and party with the lizard.

Typos in name
Hi Susan, thanks for the article.
If you could just apply a second N at the end of my name : Friedmann it's more the german spelling in fact :-)
About the time : we try to give it in UTC and in SL (secondlife time) which is mainly the california time slot.
Hope to see you there too !
What time is it?
I thought that it was UCT not UTC. An acronym for Universal Co-ordinate Time.
Coordinated Universal Time (abbreviated UTC)
11.4 -- just another number
I would be more happy to see regression bugs would finally be fixed, than seeing just another number in a sequence which really means nothing. Some time ago it meant some kind of achievement, what does it mean now? New wallpaper?
Partying with lizard sounds
Partying with lizard sounds trippy.
I thought 1600 UTC is 1100AM EST in the US.
Yep, I believe you're correct. Thanks so much!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik is
recovering from lifesaving surgery after severing his carotid
artery during a game.
The player's agent told The Associated Press on Monday that
Zednik is recovering at a Buffalo hospital. Zednick lost a drastic
amount of blood Sunday during the game against the Sabres. He
accidentally was sliced across the right side of the throat by
teammate Olli Jokinen's skate.
Agent David Schatia didn't have more details because he had just
arrived from an overseas trip.

I had to get the XXXL. Good stuff.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have a large noggin... 7 5/8 if I recall correctly but the XXXL is what my head fit best. The XXL was just a bit too tight on my head. I like the depth of these. It doesn't look like a mushroom cap on my head. It came with a visor on the padded headband. I know I could order a headband without the visor but instead used a knife to start the removal of the row of stitches holding the visor on. A good solid pull took it the rest of the way off. The removal didn't damage the headband.

I was wondering if wearing goggles interferes with the sun visor. Or would I have to buy the other non visor liner in order to use googles?
Wonderful Helmet

I had no idea a helmet could be this comfortable...Feels true to size..I wear 7 3/8 and 7 1/4 fitted hats, and size Large fits perfect plus the helmet is adjustable.. Great Peripheral Vision, Doesn't feel like a mushroom on your head, Well Ventilated, Comfortable, Lightweight, Full Head Protection...BIG THUMBS UP!

Hey Dee,

Best helmet I have owned!
Member since
I love this helmet! All these years of bicycling I have worn helmet's that sit on top of your head and you always know they are there, plus they don't really offer protection for the back of your head. This helmet fits so good you will think you are wearing your favorite hat. I liked the Bern Brentwood so well, I also bought a Bern G2. You won't go wrong with this helmet.
Needed some modifications

I got this helmet for riding in the city during the winter and so far it has proven to be warmer than my road helmet. Very comfortable fit and you easily forget you're wearing it.
I ride a rode bike and in the forward riding position the pad on the back makes the helmet tilt forward over your eyes. I took that off and ended up taking the adjustable support as well. It still doesn't move at even if it is unlatched.
Awesome helmet, just know that if you are not in an upright position while riding the padding in the back effect the way it sits on your head
Bern Brentwood Helmet - Mostly Awesome
Member since
The helmet is really comfortable and looks awesome! The visor keeps some sun off my face, it stays cool, doesn't shake around on my head and and most importantly it doesnt feel like I'm wearing a giant stryofoam box. I would give it 5 stars but for some reason the top of the helmet has a bunch of dimples...like someone thumped it over and over with a mini-hammer - which isn't cool.
Berns look cool!
Member since
These are great helmets. There light, look good and fit low on your head rather than on top of your head. Mine looked just slightly crooked on my head though. I only noticed it when I first got it and was checkin my self out in the mirror. Could be my head too! I like that you can change liners for winter and it is made for more than one sport. I bmx, mtn bike, snowboard and skate a little. It seems like it is hard to find the liners though. I will need the winter one soon, and the goggle clip also. Sick helmet though!

The Explainer: Prayers for "The Deuce"
February 24, 2013 by Charles Pelkey
Filed under Mind
I spent Saturday down in Denver at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, with my 13-year-old daughter, Annika (a gorgeous five-foot-nine-inch blonde, who already has me rethinking my position on gun-control). It was terrific walking the aisles with a budding bike geek, who spent much of the time admiring (and hinting I should buy) some of the most beautiful bikes I've seen in ages.
The show also provided a rare opportunity to catch up with old friends, including my buddy Patrick O'Grady, Andy Hampsten and Ron Kiefel and my favorite crazy person, Gregg Bagni. One thing I missed, however, was the chance to catch up with Red Kite's own Commander in Chief, Padraig, who had planned to be there, but had far more pressing issues at home.
To explain, Padraig and his beautiful wife, Shana, welcomed a new member to their family on Friday. This seven-pound, six-ounce young man is as-of-yet unnamed, but sports the moniker "The Deuce" in honor of his birthday, 2/22. The Deuce is off to a bit of a shaky start and is spending his first few days in a neo-natal intensive care unit, so our thoughts, warmest wishes and best hopes are with the Brady family, Patrick, Shana and big brother Philip. Nothing is more important.
I fully trust that in 13 years, Padraig, you will be strolling through the aisles if the 2026 NAHBS with "The Deuce" and he, too, will be trying to talk you into buying that really beautiful titanium 'cross bike. Of course, it will be his birthday, so you will have to comply. Start saving your pennies, my friend.

Okay, dear readers, it's time again to sort through the inbox and see what folks are talking about. Let's start with a follow-up to a story that had long since slipped to the back of my mind.
Hello Charles,
Just read your Explainer about the alleged intentional cycling crash caused by Jonathan Atkins. (see "Assault and bikery in the first degree")I am a very experienced rider and didn't even know who this guy was until today when he intentionally nudged me into a ditch during the group Airport ride in Atlanta GA. I rode back into the group after recovering and rode beside this guy and let him know what I thought of his actions in a very verbal exchange. He was very rude, defensive, and gave a ridiculous explanation for why did what he did. He then asked for my name and I made him give me his name first. I know one of his team members Dan Busch (nice guy) and wanted to know for sure if Jonathan Atkins was on his team so I began to ping the internet for information. I'm not one bit surprised with what I have just found; this guy should not be riding with anyone. I will now see if I can add any support to the criminal charges against this guy (yes he was that appalling). Any advice is appreciated.
– Christian
Dear Christian,
As far as I can tell, there was no action taken by prosecutors in this case and Mr. Atkins, as you noted, continues to ride for the Beck Janitorial Cycling team.
I find your story disturbing on many levels, not least of which is that this fella appears not to have learned from his past mistakes. If the details surrounding your incident are true, then you should probably contact USA Cycling and, if you so wish, his sponsor.
Even if this occurred during a training ride, USA Cycling does have the authority to strip a rider of his license. It may be time to raise the issue with the sport's governing body.
Finally, the thing that gets my interest piqued is that the team lists Mr. Atkins as a "mentor" for younger riders. I generally applaud the idea of older riders – he's 47 – setting aside their own goals and imparting hard-earned knowledge and an appreciation of the beauty of the sport to those just getting started. Of course, if this story and the May incident prove to be true, he's the last guy I'd want teaching my son about the intricacies of the sport.
Please, Christian, let me know how this pans out. We'll follow-up. Meanwhile, the rest of you can feel free to weigh in with comments below.

Regarding my recent "Tale of two lawsuits" column, several of you felt that I had been rather dismissive of the readers' lawsuit against Lance Armstrong and his publishers.
One comment, posted below the story, argued that there were ample reasons for the suit and suggests that I may have mocked the basis of the suit:
Let's turn this around and ask the question, if someone had filed a lawsuit in 2005 claiming Lance Armstrong had cheated Lance & Co. would have responded with a defamation suit, assembled an army of lawyers who would have humiliated and impoverished the plaintiff(s) into surrender even though the assertions of the plaintiff would be borne out in later years by the admission of Lance Armstrong.
So I can't mock any plaintiffs' claims. If memory serves me correctly Lance Armstrong effectively silenced by payment, threats of legal action leading to poverty and outright slander those who called into question the honesty of his wins. I can't excuse bullies.
– Dave
Dear Dave,
I have to agree, particularly regarding your last comment. Indeed, it's my general disdain of bullies that was probably at the root of my issues with Mr. Armstrong in the first place.
No, I don't think doping is, was or ever should be acceptable, but I took far more seriously the bullying of teammates, witnesses and critics. I think the Reasoned Decision shows that USADA did, too. Had Mr. Armstrong simply been a doper, I really doubt that this case would have progressed as it had.
You are correct in saying that any similar suit filed during the days of Armstrong's ascent would have surely resulted in an immediate countersuit that would have crippled the plaintiffs and the lawyers involved. He used his money, his power and his lawyers to scare critics – and potential critics – into silence.
But, I still have a problem with the whole premise of suing someone for the contents of an autobiography. To begin, the whole concept of an autobiography is an exercise in self promotion. The author – with or without the help of a co-author – uses the opportunity to present himself or herself in the most positive fashion. If there is anywhere where the old rule of caveat emptor should apply it's reading someone's story about themselves. Come on.
I've read a number of them and my ingrained bullshit detector has been triggered on more than one occasion.
But seriously, what are the damages these "vexed, annoyed and injured" readers suffered? They paid out twenty bucks for what turned out to be a work of self-promoting fiction. They fell for it. Now, they know the truth. BFD. I would much rather see a lawsuit from riders whose careers had been cut short by bullying tactics (Christophe Bassons or Filippo Simeoni, to name just two) or even those who gave up on the sport because Armstrong and his ilk ruined their opportunities to compete fairly. What about folks like Emma O'Reilly, Betsy Andreu, Frankie Andreu, David Walsh? Those folks suffered real and quantifiable damages. But a cadre of now-disappointed, yellow-wristband-wearing fans, who got the wake-up call a little too late? Sorry. I don't see the harm, beyond getting a reminder of their own gullibility.
This suit, these plaintiffs and these claims are being assembled for a hoped-for class action suit against Armstrong, the publishers and others. This is not about recovering every reader's twenty bucks, but to allow a creative law firm the opportunity to score big on contingency fees. Let's say they win a $10 million suit against the defendants A win would be that each affected reader would get a note telling them that they are a plaintiff in a successful class action suit and they will be eligible for, what, 10 bucks worth of credit toward books? Meanwhile, forty percent, plus expenses will go to the law firm. For individual plaintiffs, the outcome is essentially meaningless. For the lawyers, the case is a crap shoot, with at least reasonably good odds for a pay out at the end. This one ain't about justice, my friends. It's just business.
Obviously, as an attorney, I admire their pluck, but viewing it as a hypothetical juror, I doubt I'd go for a big damages award. Part of the onus is on the consumer to read with a critical eye, no?
Yeah, the good thing is that, if successful, the suit will result in the proceeds of Mr. Armstrong's "unjust enrichment" being taken away. (Of course, if the publishers are held liable, perhaps they can, in turn, sue him for having misled them.) Personally, I'd like to see any money go to the people who suffered actual harm, not those who are merely "vexed, annoyed and injured" by reading what they could have guessed was bullshit.
Bottom line, though, I'm still really uncomfortable with that suit and what it means for anyone who writes anything that purports to be "non-fiction."
Now, of greater interest is the Department of Justice's decision to join Floyd Landis' "whistleblower" suit. I'm intrigued. I do wonder about the damages claim, but I am going to spend time this week, working my way through the suit, supporting documents and briefs and speak with far more experienced attorneys about their thoughts.
Feel free to weigh in on this one, too. You can write your comments below, or send an e-mail to email@example.com.
Meanwhile, keep "The Deuce" in your mind. Let's send this little dude some seriously good vibes, folks.

The Magic of Log Homes
A building style just meant for cabin living
By Robbin Obomsawin
Published: May 1, 2006
Photo by Roger Wade
For many of us, there is nothing as warm or inviting as a log cabin for escape from our hectic, fast-paced, information overloaded techno lives. It's no wonder that when people think of building a weekend retreat, often their first thoughts are of a log home.
A log home radiates a fundamental warmth that comes from the soft glow of the wood, the clean scent of the tree sap, the texture of the logs.
In fact, when logs are added to any home, they add an architectural punch. Logs create a depth, warmth and texture that is never quite achieved with anything else. And have you ever noticed how large-diameter logs give a home a feeling of stability and permanence?
As a general contractor, I find there is nothing more challenging, complex and labor intensive than building with logs. Yet as an artisan, I can say there is nothing as artistic, creative and downright fun as sculpting with logs.
It's an Art Form
I have written 10 books about log home building and design from the viewpoint of a general contractor who specializes in cabin design. These books detail what the dreamer should know about log building and about planning their retreats. Yet all the words, photos and drawings so carefully compiled can't duplicate the actual hands-on experience that brings the process to reality.
For the homeowner, success will come from working with an experienced builder or contractor, setting realistic budgets for the scope of the project – and planning, planning and replanning. All that planning can elevate your home to a work of art, to a retreat that's on the threshold of magic and romance. It's how we think of the quintessential log home.
At Beaver Creek Log Homes, our focus is on cabin, camp and cottage architecture. Not all our cabins are handcrafted log homes, yet that is what my husband and I have been known for in over 27 years of business and marriage.
Handcrafted log homes are a true art, using techniques that have been around for hundreds of years. These methods were almost for-gotten until about 25-30 years ago when a handful of hardy, renegade builders honed their craft and spurred a renewed interest in traditional methods of log building.
Building the Perfect Log Cabin
It has always been a pleasure to build my clients' dreams of the perfect log cabin with life, soul and personality. But I have found that the idea of the "perfect" log home is different for every person, based on a client's lifestyle, hobbies and interests. This fusion of dynamics becomes the "magic" that resonates from the walls of the cabin.
In a recent project (which included the interior's décor), my client had a fascination with the more whimsical touches found within a classic fishing lodge. The fishing lodge we built for her was conservative in size, yet contained many carefully considered details in which traditional cabin style meets contemporary:
Stone and glass mosaic tiles inlaid, in rug patterns, into the entry and master bath.
Floor tiles placed on their diagonals extending outside to all of the outdoor porches.
Hickory floorboards laid at a 45-degree angle in the loft.
Jarrah wood (a hard, heavy, close-grain wood with a mahogany-red color found in southwest Australia) covering the main living area's vaulted truss ceiling and the sunroom's octagonal, gazebo-style roof line.
An intentional mix of contrasting wood colors. The beautiful dark, rich red of the Jarrah contrasted nicely against the light natural color of the handcrafted logs; while in other rooms ceilings consisted of white-washed knotty pine boards to bring out the graining and knots.
My client went on to incorporate many whimsical ideas and details that were subtly incorporated into a house of fun. She found some children's lime green bug sheets that became the inspiration for the grandchildren's "Bug Room." We faux-painted the focal accent wall in lemon yellow and lime green diamonds. At the intersecting points of the elongated diamonds we added black polka dots and every few points we slipped in a ladybug with paint that glows in the dark.
Other details in the Bug Room included built-in dressers with frog pull knobs, a secret passage between the beds, hidden toy storage and real birch saplings trimming the windows.
Another guest room was painted in a faux finish in soft greens and blues that created the illusion of being surrounded by water. A local artist carved and painted a beautiful, oversized, three-foot rainbow trout that hangs in a dead space just below the ceiling. My client called just the other day to say she had found trundle beds in the shape of boats and to ask if we could find a way to use these creatively in the "Water Room."
A Journey of Discovery
Overall the building process should be an exciting, creative and inspirational journey that is about discovering what is really necessary and important to your life and surroundings and separating your wants from your needs.
My client with the fishing lodge created a warm, magical retreat that was perfect for her and her family. Every detail in every room was thought through, from the tree stump end tables in the guest room to the entry hall fish chandelier hung from fish hooks.
Admittedly, some would find this level of detail mind-boggling. Each detail by itself is really quite simple. But all together they can complicate an already complicated building project, easily adding significant time and money to the overall project.
It's easy to get lost in time achieving a specific look. It can become a never-ending process for which it is impossible to create a realistic timeline.
And not everyone can afford or even wants the elaborate details and design ideas that so often appear on the pages of decorating magazines. But be assured, even the most humble and simple of log homes can exude soul and personality if the owner, builder and designer work well together.
It all begins with you. You must be able to separate your wants from your needs. Next, it's important to work with builders and designers with whom you can communicate these wants and needs. It's equally important to document everything possible on the plans so that all the tradespeople involved in building the home understand your requirements and limitations. But it is your choices, your time spent doing your own personal homework, your final decisions and personal limitations that will make or break the reality of your dream.
I have been working with a couple for over two years now who wanted a handcrafted log home. One of the sacrifices they had to make was stretching the process over several years, building in stages, and waiting while money becomes available. The clients had to take a seriously hard look at what were bare-bone requirements and then resist all the added bells and whistles and over-the-top dreams that didn't fit in a limited budget. Somehow I think they will achieve their dream. They are already halfway there and within the projected timeline and budget.
Achieving the Dream
It is this process of log building that I love. That and the ability to create a home for my clients they once only dreamed of.
For some, this process of planning and discovery can be a natural, fun process; for others it is more of a struggle. Building a home is like giving birth – the labor is traumatic, painful and long while impossible to explain unless you have gone through it. Yet, after the labor is over, the outcome is rewarding and cherished – the labor becomes a less important, faded memory where only the outcome is evident.
Once you have put every ounce of knowledge, energy and thought into achieving your vision and goal, it is only then that it becomes more than a house, where all who enter feel the presence of a "home."
Robbin Obomsawin is the construction manager and general contractor for Beaver Creek Log Homes in New York (
). She is also a well-known author whose titles include "Best Log Home Plans," "The Not So Log Cabin" and "The Adirondack Cabin."
My husband and I live on the Tug Hill Plateau at the gateway to Adirondack cabin country in upstate New York. With a long history of summer homes or camps, there is a wealth of architectural inspiration here. Even a camp in ruins can ooze character.
One of my recent floor plans, the Adirondack Camp, was inspired by a cabin barely standing. Much of the layout was gone, but some of the smallest, yet unforgettable details spoke to its builder's love and planning. Diamond-shaped slices of handblown glass window panes had acted as prisms, capturing the sun's rays. Twig hooks on a wall were whittled by hand, perhaps collected over time on woodland hiking trips. There were remnants of a central stone fireplace, with stairs that must have wrapped around the fireplace shaft leading to a bedroom loft.
For my plan, I added a traditional bunk room for guests tucked under the slope of the stairs on the first floor, along with an updated bathroom and kitchen.

A couple of building styles that have strongly influenced my husband and me are the twig art style popular in the Adirondack Mountain region and the use of log accents for added architectural interest in a conventionally built home.
After seeing so many older conventionally framed homes with these two distinctive log element details (along with turrets, cupolas or widows-walks perched atop the home's roof structure), I was inspired to create a hybrid version of log and conventional home named Evening Star.
Evening Star is loaded with many whimsical details such as gable ends with built-in bird houses framed with star burst entries; wrap-around porches with an army of log rafters that soldier overhead; a dining area that is wrapped in windows like a sunroom conservatory; a master suite in the loft with a five-piece bath and a walk-in closet; a ladder that leads to the copula or turret that admits added light and ventilation.

Good point, Mario! Stay tuned for our October 2013 issue, which will feature a "log home" made out of concrete (maintenance-free)! :)

Good article. But its not the whole story.. All log Homes are wonderful works of art, sustainable and unforgettable almost living things, have been dreaming of building one on my Catskill site for over 30 years, sadly, I found that they are also prohibitively expensive if you are building a human sized Cabin of say 900+ sq ft that you are not building yourself, this we found when we finally got to the quote stage when real numbers are calculated. Was broken hearted... almost gave up the dream..then solved the problem by building a panelized home with real hand peeled 10 inch log siding internal log railings, 10 inch log accent and support beams, v notched pine walls etc. No one can tell the difference. Still have to stain and maintain, but I do not have the negatives of log settling, possible infiltration, slip joints and limited chase for mechanicals. The house shell was constructed on my foundation in 8 hours...Final cost was 40% less than the identical design real log cabin in my neck of the woods in NY. But it still looks, feels and has the wood texture and smell of the real thing.. but I had a master carpenter do the work and he knew what he was doing..my heart is happy!!

Dear jason,
I agree with you that listing the individual required accounts is better than having a catch all, however those 4 are also heavily targetted by spammers
I am working on a follow up article that deals with spam and presents some actions a user can take to fight back spam.
Thanks for your feedback!

Very good
Score from 283 reviews
Had made reservations, but was in a queen room, asked for a king bed and was upgraded to the presidential suite. IT WAS AWESOME. Joanne was very helpful. Check in and check out was a breeze. LOVED THE BED. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely return.
Sprague River, OR
Very close to the freeway and to the main strip and very comfortable bed
The staff was extremely helpful when I had an emergency and had to extend my stay.
I have asthma and allergies to cigarette smoke. The casino was clean where I was not bothered ans the room all around was fantastic. No smoking odor and the bed was more comfortable then the Billagio this summer.
Round Mountain
The staff was very friendly and the beds were very comfy
The room was very roomy and the beds were very comfortable.
it was a big room, very clean , easy to get around the hotel , would stay there again.
Flin Flon, Manitoba
Style and cleanliness of the room. Away from the Strip. Everything I want in a casino and availability of food without the headaches of being on the Strip. Silverton still had the close proximity to the convention I was there to attend which, unfortunately, was on the Strip.
Bed and comforter Buffet dinner!
We enjoyed our stay. Couldn't think of anything we didn't like. Thanks

[JURIST] A small minority of southern Republicans have announced their intention to challenge the renewal of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act [text; DOJ introduction], currently being evaluated by Congress for a 25-year renewal on the grounds that it is unfair to southern states and no longer necessary. Though the White House, Congressional leaders of both parties, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the teh US Justice Department support the reauthorization of the Act [JURIST report] in its entirety, several southern lawmakers are critical of section 5, which requires southern states with dicriminatory voting records to seek federal approval before changing voting locations within districts, a requirement not imposed on northern states. The original purpose of the provision was to prevent the racist practice of moving voting locations to intentionally inconvenience black voters. Leading the opposition, first-term US House member Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) [official website] argues that the areas protected by the provision are now "controlled by minorities" and no longer need protection. Representative Sanford Bishop (D-GA) [official website], one of many House members who support the renewal of the provision, has nonetheless noted that "in an ideal world we would not need the Voting Rights Act, and in an ideal world we could apply Section 5 across the board without watering it down and making it ineffective. But if history, both past and present, teaches us anything, it's that we do not live in an ideal world." AP has more.
[JURIST] Lobbyist Michael Scanlon [Wikipedia profile] is scheduled for a federal court appearance Monday on a single count alleged in a criminal information released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] Friday. The information alleges that Scanlon provided "things of value" to a member of Congress, later identified as Representative Bob Ney (R-OH) [official website] by his lawyer, in exchange for favorable gambling legislation. Scanlon and partner Jack Abramoff [Wwikipedia profile] were paid $80 million between 2001 and 2004 by several indian tribes to represent their interests in Congress. Scanlon is a former aide to former House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-TX) [official website], who was heavily criticized in the past for accepting trips abroad and the use of a sports arena skybox from Abramoff. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Senator Brian Dorgan (D-ND) [official website] released a letter [press release] Friday confirming that allegations raised by an ex-Defense Department contractor regarding no-bid contracts awarded to a Halliburton [corporate website; JURIST news archive] subsidiary for work in Iraq have been turned over to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] for possible investigation. The letter, from Defense Department Assistant Inspector General John R. Crane, said that the department's criminal investigation wing is currently investigating the contracts, and has provided its findings to the DOJ. The allegations were first raised by Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, formerly the top procurement officer for the US Army Corps of Engineers [official website], during testimony given last summer before the Senate Democratic Policy Committee [official website] chaired by Dorgan. Greenhouse testified [JURIST report] that the government's award of a five year, no-bid contract for the repair of Iraqi oil fields to Halliburton division Kellogg, Brown and Root [corporate website] was similar to war profiteering. Greenhouse is suing the Department [JURIST report] after being demoted for "poor job performance" directly after her testimony. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) [official profile] Friday voiced objections to a legislative deal [JURIST report] that extend the USA Patriot Act [bill summary], siding with a bipartisan group of senators threatening to filibuster the bill unless it is rewritten to provide increased privacy protections. The White House had previously pushed Congress to vote on the extension before Thanksgiving, but without Specter's the support a vote next week is highly unlikely. Specter said that the legislation, which has support in the House, "needs further analysis and some revision." The House version currently sets a seven year expiration date on two provisions that Specter thinks should expire in four years: the so-called "library provision" that authorizes seizure of personal and business information, and the section that allows FBI wiretaps of any terror suspect. The current USA Patriot Act [text; JURIST news archive] expires December 31. The Seattle Times has more. US House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. James Sensenbrenner provides this report [PDF] on the state of the Patriot Act conference negotiations; Rep. John Conyers, Ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, offers resources on Patriot Act renewal.
[JURIST] The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit [official website] announced Friday that it will return to its New Orleans headquarters in January. Following Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] in September, the appeals court temporarily moved [JURIST report] to Houston, Texas and has operated from the Bob Casey United States Courthouse. The court will shut down Houston operations around December 16, 2005 and reconvene in New Orleans on January 9, 2006. Read the US Court press release on the move.
[JURIST] US DOJ Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald [official website] indicated in court documents Friday that his investigation into the CIA leak case [JURIST news archive] will return to a grand jury. Three weeks ago, a previous grand jury indicted former Vice President Dick Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice [PDF text of indictment; JURIST report]. In the court motion Fitzgerald said "the investigation will involve proceedings before a different grand jury than the grand jury which returned the indictment [against Libby]". The announcement of a second grand jury has lead to speculation that Fitzgerald will seek charges against top Bush advisor Karl Rove for his alleged involvement in the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to the press. Fitzgerald's announcement comes less than one week after journalist Bob Woodward [profile] testified [text of statement] that a senior Bush administration official informed him of Valerie Plame's CIA position almost a month before her identity was revealed publicly. Speculation as to the identity of Woodward's source has included US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld [official profile]; an aide to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has denied that she was the source [AP report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [official website] indicated Friday that all 125 workers arrested at a Wal-Mart distribution center construction site [JURIST report] in Pennsylvania Thursday will be deported. Some of the workers, mostly from Mexico and Central America, used false documents to get jobs with a Wal-Mart subcontractor. Federal officials said the arrests should serve as a warning to companies who knowingly employ illegal immigrants that "significant criminal and administrative charges" will result. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Pentagon released a report Friday indicating that over 80,000 people have been detained in numerous facilities world-wide since the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. The report comes amid increased criticism by human rights groups and European organizations of the US government's treatment of detainees, and on the heels of reports that the CIA has maintained secret prisons throughout Europe [JURIST report]. Officials at a Council of Europe [official website] meeting on Thursday increased pressure [COE report] on the US to respond to reports that the prisons exist and that numerous prisoner transports to and through at least 6 member states have occurred without authorization. The Guardian has more.

Airbag Light Not Working (Fault Codes)
Posted 14 March 2013 - 04:28 PM
An I right in saying that the spiral wiring is in fact the clock spring immediately behind the steering wheel? And, is there in fact, a removable bulb in the cluster that may be blown or have been removed. Some clusters now have LEDs in. Just looking for a little info before I go in there.
Thanks guys.

it might be bulbs blown.spiral is behind drivers airbag bolted to steering wheel so goto remove airbag then spiral think its 20 torks bit.its got 2 connectors on it.advise disconnecting battery and try not to touch the ends of wire as static in the body could set it off
Posted 14 March 2013 - 06:26 PM

Just a small note for when you refit the clock spring, maybe you already know but worth mentioning anyhow. Before you refit it, turn the spring all the way to the left, then turn it all the way to the right, counting the turns as you go. Divide this by two, then count back by that number of turns to get the clock spring centralised. I think the one on my Focus was two and a half turns to centre, but do check this.
If you don't do this, you will not be able to turn the steering wheel fully/at all one way or the other. And you don't want to find this out at speed, on a bend.
Posted 14 March 2013 - 10:43 PM
if you turn ignition on, air bag light should flash a code...for eg...
code 19 is flash...pause....flash x9
19 is drivers air bag
21 is passenger air bag
trouble is, your other code B1870, will cause the light to flash continously, so will have to repair this first...once done, you can then check flashes again to tell you which side air bag is causing problem..
think that makes sense
Posted 14 March 2013 - 10:52 PM
if so, let us know as those 2 numbers will reveal location/type of fault, can look it up for you.

A graffiti vandal hit the home owned by Spike Lee's father and a neighboring home in Brooklyn Friday -- days after the filmmaker's curse-filled rant against the gentrification enveloping his old neighborhood.
The glass was shattered on the front door of the neighbor's home on Washington Park in the Fort Greene section, and "Do the Right Thing," the title of Lee's controversial 1989 film about racial tension in Brooklyn, was spray-painted on the wall along with the Circle-A, the symbol for anarchy. - Full Article

Hi I've been fishing southeastern mass for 6 or 7 years now. Mostly small ponds without boat ramps. Me and my freind fish out of a ten foot jon boat with a trolling motor. We sometimes get out on a freinds boat in the salt water. My buddy recently bought a lager boat so maybe we will target some bigger fresh water. Any suggestions???
Thanks Bryan
Been fishing in Mass. and NH for the most part. I fish only for bass and smallies in particular.
I fish Quabbin Res, North Pond, Singletary Lake, Winnie etc.
I would like to get into a discussion of the smallie and largemouth fishing at Quabbin, with any member.
