Elvis Christmas at 98 places above Viva Elvis really tells a story. Man, that album just sunk like a stone.
Good to see the King in the charts... Is it safe to say Elvis is the best selling christmas artist? I know Bing Crosby's White Christmas is the best selling song, but I've never seen a Bing Crosby christmas album in the charts, while Elvis is there each and every year.

South Pacific Cruises
Melanesia to Polynesia, the South Pacific beckons. Tropic and exotic, isolated clumps of islands stretching from Australia to Fiji, Tahiti to Easter Island, have long been the playground of explorers, painters and authors. Modern day adventurers too will be entranced by National Geographic Orion's voyages across deep ink blue waters that give way to slashes of emerald and sapphire, marking cautious entry points to chains of coral atolls which in turn surround jungle clad tropical islands rising from the ocean depths. More than lava and kava, our journey will help the telling of history; your experiences will revive the spirit of adventures in paradise as romance and drama intertwine.

With this news and the earlier news of Microsoft replacing bricked systems due to a software one must wonder if Microsoft is trying to dump the Xbox 360 S. It would be awesome if they have something new coming along. |
I don't think the two are connected at all. Only a very small number of XBox 360s are supposedly affected. This other move is probably intended to compete with Apple--it has its own iPod Touch gift program. |
Ya, most likely what joel said. But i wouldn't mind myself a free 360, even if you wanted a touch, sell the 360, buy and profit? lol... |

In his book, Wait: The Art and Science of Delay, Frank Partnoy writes that, given the fast pace of modern life, most of us tend to react too quickly.
The result is that many of us cause ourselves more headaches through our rapid response instead of solving the issues that bother us so much. In the case of eating and weight, its especially true.
Yet, people think that when theyve gained weight they need to grab the first promising diet program that comes along.
Its far better to take the time to understand how we tick as individuals and learn about what weight-loss research has found yields the best results.
Here are a few ideas to help you hone the skill of delaying for success:
Evaluate your program: When something has gone wrong with your latest weight-loss attempt, take some time to ponder. Why was it hard to follow? Was there anything about this program that might have set you up to fail? Dont stop there. Think deeply about why things might have gone wrong.
Educate yourself: With the Internet, information is at our fingertips so theres little excuse for not being better informed. Be careful, however, not to be led by get thin quick promises offered by advertisers.
Explore who you are: For example, are you an introvert – someone who would prefer to exercise alone? Or an extrovert – someone who thrives with plenty of company in most things they do?
Experiment: This is one of the biggest tools of success. By experimenting we discover what works and doesnt work for us.
It may take some time to do all of these things but, in the end, it will take less time than repeatedly failing with old methods. Delaying action to do the right things is just what the doctor is ordering.

Blogs : Outside the Bottle with Talia Baiocchi
One of the greatest names in Burgundy branches out to Arbois
Posted: December 10, 2012 By Talia Baiocchi
Five years ago, the Jura wasn't on Guillaume d'Angerville's mind. But on a visit to one of his favorite Paris restaurants, the eminent Burgundian vintner became fascinated by this lesser-known French wine region.
"I tasted this bottle blind in a restaurant in Paris that I often go to," said d'Angerville, who produces red and white Burgundies under the revered Marquis d'Angerville label. "I always tell the sommelier to give me something blind and the only rule is that it has to be outside Burgundy. When he brought me this wine, I said, 'You forgot the rule, you brought me a wine from Burgundy.' And he said, 'I am afraid you're wrong.'"
That bottle was the André & Mireille Tissot Chardonnay Arbois Les Bruyères 2005. It set d'Angerville on a path that would lead to the acquisition of two Jura vineyards, both about a mile and a half from the town of Arbois.

I'm getting into the meat of my 2010 Bordeaux tasting now, having worked through the Right Bank wines of St.-Emilion (which takes two full days), Pomerol and their various satellite appellations. As mentioned briefly in my last blog, the wines are showing very, very well.
I have started in on the Left Bank now, tasting wines from the Médoc, Graves and Margaux. The highlights so far, though, have come from Pauillac and St.-Julien.
Blogs : Mixed Case: Opinion and Advice
Posted: December 6, 2012 By Robert Taylor
I first met vintner Achille Boroli four years ago in New York, where I was as impressed with photos of his family's modern winery, designed by his architect brother Guido, as I was his Barolo Villero 2001. The Boroli tasting room and cellar in Castiglione Falletto is a thoroughly modern, three-level barn-inspired facility with sharp lines, shadowbox windows and, most striking, vertical clapboard siding composed of repurposed oak barrel staves that make the winery appear to shimmer and undulate in the Piedmont sun.
Boroli was back in New York this past October, hosting a small dinner to showcase three of his Barolos at Lincoln restaurant, a fitting architectural setting for a winery passionate about design. The restaurant is nestled beneath the Tisch Illumination Lawn, a hyperbolic paraboloid (think saddle-shaped) park framed by glass fins that serves as Lincoln's roof. Lincoln's Brazilian wood plank ceiling mimics the park's contours. Boroli and Lincoln served as reminders that, as with wine, there's more outstanding and accessible architecture today than ever before.

Tastings show wines with great intensity, but some with intrusive tannins
Posted: December 6, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
As Washington has come into its own as a wine source worth following, consumers have appreciated the state's prevailing style of clear, pure flavors balanced against refreshing acidity and supple textures. Now that I have tasted the majority of the 2009 vintage, what strikes me is how many wines are much more tannic than usual.

With about 700 wines to taste and two weeks to taste them, I hit the ground running in Bordeaux
Posted: December 5, 2012 By James Molesworth
I arrived as scheduled in Bordeaux - just on time for lunch. I like to plan things like that...
My annual in-bottle Bordeaux tasting is easily the biggest and longest single tasting I do. When in my New York office, I taste every day, but perhaps only 20 or 30 wines a day. When I travel in the Rhône, I may taste dozens of barrel samples in a day, but I'm not writing formal notes or reviewing those wines, since they are unfinished, sometimes just lots of pre-blends, and not tasted blind. That makes the Bordeaux tasting unique.
Blogs : James Laube's Wine Flights
Matt Courtney appeared to be Helen Turley's successor
Posted: December 5, 2012 By James Laube
Matt Courtney, who many thought would become Marcassin's winemaker, is leaving the high-profile winery after eight years and in January will become winemaker for Arista, a Sonoma-based, family-owned winery that specializes in Pinot Noir.
Joining Arista would seem like a good fit for Courtney, 41, since he's been working with both Sonoma Pinot and Chardonnay during his stint with Marcassin. Arista makes a handful of wines, including old-vine Zinfandel, which also appeals to Courtney. He worked with Zinfandel at Martinelli when Helen Turley was Martinelli's winemaker-consultant and also made Zin at Biale Winery in Napa Valley.

With so many good things to eat and drink, wine may be the least of your worries
Posted: December 5, 2012 By Tim Fish
For those of us who are—how should I say it?—big boned, it's not easy getting through the holidays without fretting about our weight. The old media myth used to be that the average American gained 7 to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but research now shows it's closer to 1 pound. That's right: a single pound.
So perhaps we're not indulging ourselves as much as we thought. Still, I hear people over the holidays, especially those facing the middle age spread, worrying over this slice of pie or that hunk of fudge. (Typically after the fact.)
Wine is part of that, too. Who hasn't watched a reveler wave off a glass of wine, worried about the calories and carbohydrates? (And saving room perhaps for more cake?) Too each his or her own, of course, but it's an interesting exercise to see how your favorite indulgences compare in the nutrition department.

It's that time again: I'm heading across the pond to taste Bordeaux's most recently bottled vintage. This time around, it's the vaunted 2010, a vintage that wound up surpassing 2009 to claim the mantle of most expensive en primeur vintage ever. Now the question is, will the 2010 wines surpass 2009 qualitatively?
I'm excited to taste the wines for a few reasons. First, 2010 was the first vintage I tasted en primeur, after assuming coverage of Bordeaux in August 2010. So, it's the first time I'll be able to measure my impressions of the bottled wines against the ranges I gave them as young barrel samples.

How wine and cocktails are finding a cultural common ground
Posted: December 3, 2012 By Talia Baiocchi
At first glance, it may seem like the cocktail movement is from Mars and wine is from Venus. Despite the growing diversity of the cocktail world-and the highbrow/lowbrow factions that have formed within it-it's still associated with a certain edginess and energy that may appear at odds with the more buttoned-up, bourgie image that wine has been stuck with.
But are these two worlds really at odds? Or, better question: Do they have to be? A new generation of sommeliers, bartenders and restaurateurs is trying to find common ground between the two cultures.

I spent Thanksgiving week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was my fourth trip to the federal capital since 2005, yet it had been four years since my last visit. A lot has changed, yet much remains the same. There is beautiful architecture in B.A., neo-classical, art nouveau and art deco, some of which is reminiscent of Paris, hence its nickname as the Paris of South America. But the sidewalks are broken and many buildings are in a state of disrepair, signs of the struggling economy. I did find much to like during my return to Argentina, however. Here are my notes on the best restaurants and wines we visited.

Winemaking consultants are neither mercenaries nor miracle workers
Posted: November 29, 2012 By Mitch Frank
Is it possible to make 62 different wines, from different vineyards, and have each one taste not just outstanding but also distinctive?
Philippe Cambie is the top winemaking consultant in Châteauneuf-du-Pape—he works for 25 wineries in the appellation. He also has 37 other clients, mostly in the Southern Rhône Valley, but also in the Languedoc (where he grew up), Provence, Corsica, Spain and even Macedonia. His wines routinely score outstanding and classic in Wine Spectator's blind tastings. I profiled Cambie in our Nov. 30 issue and found him to be a warm, friendly, complex man. Watching him interact with his clients was fascinating.
But is it such a good idea for one man to produce wines for 62 clients?

First 10 vintages of Barossa Shiraz show consistency, distinction
Posted: November 28, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
In Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2012, a familiar name stands at No. 3. Two Hands Shiraz Barossa Valley Bella's Garden has made it into the Top 100 eight times, including four years in the Top 10. What's astounding is that the wine has existed only since the 2001 vintage. Recently, Two Hands proprietor Michael Twelftree offered to taste all 10 vintages of Bella's Garden with me, blind. Here are my notes and unofficial scores.

Even if you're in no mood to sing carols yet, it pays to be prepared
Posted: November 28, 2012 By Tim Fish
I'm not ready for Christmas. Not even remotely. I have Facebook friends who've put up their tree and decorations, bought most of their presents and even baked their holiday cookies. Clearly these people don't drink enough wine. And yet while Christmas itself is still weeks away, the holiday entertaining season is thrust upon us, and chances are you'll be throwing or attending a party sometime during the next three weekends. So I guess I have to wake up and smell the eggnog.
When it comes to big holiday parties, I prefer a buffet for the wine as well. When there are 10 or 20 wines open, I'm like a glassy-eyed kid perched over his stash of Halloween candy. Which should I taste first? Here are a few well-priced sparkling wines perfect for holiday entertaining.

Hurricane Sandy knocked a Brooklyn winery off its feet, but not down and out
Posted: November 26, 2012 By Talia Baiocchi
What do you do when a 5-foot wall of water comes crashing through the front door of your winery, carrying several barrel-sized concrete planters along with it?
It's not a question that most wineries need to ponder. But that's exactly what happened to Red Hook Winery on the night that Hurricane Sandy backhanded the tristate area.
The winery is located in the isolated Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, which sits on low ground abutting New York Harbor. It had recently moved to a waterfront warehouse on Pier 41, overlooking Lady Liberty, and was directly in the line of fire when Sandy sent a surge of saltwater up underneath the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and through the harbor, flooding Red Hook, Lower Manhattan and the East Village.

Conductor crosses the lines thanks to a childhood accident
Posted: November 21, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
John Axelrod tastes music and hears food and wine. As a result, he has a particular fascination for the links between music and gastronomy. He claims to be the only conductor who also ran a wine business. In the late 1990s he ran the Robert Mondavi wine center at Disneyland in Anaheim for three years. It was Mondavi's wife, Margrit Biever, who encouraged the young Axelrod, who has studied privately with Leonard Bernstein, to "take the leap of faith," as he put it, and pursue a career in music.
Today he leads the Orchestra National des Pays de la Loire in Angers, France, the Verdi Orchestra in Milan, Italy, and guest conducts throughout Europe. We chatted via Skype recently after he led a performance in Naples of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5. Axelrod explained that he has a form of synesthesia, a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. For Axelrod it is taste and sound, and it developed after he got mercury poisoning as a child. "The treatment created a bridge between taste and my hearing," he said.

Kingsley Amis, writing in 1972's On Drink, relayed a recipe for a concoction he had heard to be "Queen Victoria's Tipple." Ingredients: 1/2 tumbler red wine, Scotch. "The quantity of Scotch is up to you, but I recommend stopping a good deal short of the top of the tumbler," cautioned Amis. "Worth trying once," cringed the author, who in the same pages recommends waking up to a shot of tequila in one hand and one of tomato juice in the other.
I asked Logan Leet, winemaker at River Bend Winery in Kentucky, whose signature Bourbon Barrel Red is given a brief spin through used bourbon barrels, if he had ever heard of this kind of abomination in Louisville. "Most people like to keep their wine and their bourbon separate, by and large," he assured me.

Last week I touched on "balance" as a word that's become increasingly polemical, particularly in California, where the growing movement toward lower-alcohol wines has been branded as a movement toward balance.
The problem is, this movement has largely been defined by what restraint (a word that's become synonymous with balance in this case) looks like in Pinot Noir, not grapes like Zinfandel or Grenache. Enter Mosel Riesling. If Zinfandel's stigma is its natural ability to accumulate higher alcohol, Mosel Riesling's is its sugar levels. In post-white Zinfandel America, the word "sweet" has been vilified, to a degree (lest we forget that Moscato is having a moment), as a word synonymous with cheap, low-quality wine.

Give the match game a rest for this one day
Posted: November 16, 2012 By Harvey Steiman
How do you decide which wines to deploy for Thanksgiving duty? Do you fret about matching the perfect wine with each element of the meal? That way lies madness. Nah, Thanksgiving is a day for hanging out with family and friends, and saying thanks for all our blessings. Now let's watch some football and eat some turkey, gravy and sweet potatoes.
Devotée as I am of the magic that can happen when wine and food find common ground and make the other better, I don't recommend it for big meals with a table full of contrasting dishes and a crowd that can range from wine snobs to those who merely drink it for lubrication.

Pete Wells' review of Guy Fieri's new Times Square restaurant makes for a great tasting note
Posted: November 15, 2012 By James Molesworth
Surely you've read it by now. The savage review from the New York Times' Pete Wells of Guy's American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square, the new restaurant from celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
It was low-hanging fruit for sure. Guy Fieri is best known for his passion for comfort food and his outsize personality, both of which share the spotlight on his popular TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I'm not sure what the New York Times readership gained from the review—I wouldn't expect many of them to be interested in the restaurant in the first place. But it obviously had an impact.

Randall Grahm insists he's grown up, as in matured. For those who have followed the zigzags of his career, one wonders whether the new pose is for real, or whether it's just a front for the irrepressible jester in him. He has recast and reinvented himself so many times in the past 30 years that it's natural to wonder which Randall Grahm we're dealing with. Indeed, the new Grahm can't entirely escape the old Grahm.
This much seemed apparent recently when he visited me in at my office to convey his desire to shed his whimsical nature and strike a more serious stance. That his new wines are among the best he's made adds credence to his desire to reboot his livelihood.

For Immediate Release
How a Green Economy Grows: Remarks by Herman Daly"In spite of the fact that green plants have no brains, they have managed to avoid the error of becoming dependent on the less abundant source of available energy. A green economy must do likewise."-Herman Daly COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Pioneering University of Maryland ecological economist, Herman Daly, has received a lifetime achievement award from the National Council for Science and the Environment. The award recognizes his decades-long research into the underpinnings of a Green Economy. At the award ceremony, Daly explained how a "green economy" grows: Like a green plant. Here's the text of his remarks. I am very grateful to the National Council for Science and the Environment for magnanimously conferring on me their "lifetime achievement award". The achievement award is a great encouragement to me, even though the adjective "lifetime" inevitably evokes the preview of an obituary - a kindly intended yet sobering memento mori. More than an encouragement for my remaining years, however, I believe the award will be an encouragement to those younger people to whom the real work of building the green economy will fall. There are many friends and collaborators with whom credit must be shared for any achievement that somehow gets credited to my account. First and foremost is my life partner and wife of 46 years, Marcia Damasceno Daly. Next my co-authors: Robert Costanza, John Cobb, Robert Goodland, Josh Farley, Brian Czech, and my colleagues Salah El Serafy, David Batker, Peter Victor, and Peter Brown. And thanks to Louisiana State University, the World Bank, and the University of Maryland. What I like best about this conference is that it focuses on important questions too often avoided. I'd like to take this occasion to say a few words about just one of the questions raised by the organizers, namely: What does economic growth mean in a green economy? Let me first consider the meaning of "economic growth"; next the meaning of a "green economy"; and then try to put them together. The term "economic growth" has two distinct meanings. Sometimes it refers to the growth of that thing we call the economy (the physical subsystem of our world made up of the stocks of population and wealth; and the flows of production and consumption). When the economy gets physically bigger we call that "economic growth". This is normal English usage. But the term has a second, very different meaning. If the growth of some thing or some activity causes benefits to increase faster than costs, we also call that "economic growth" - that is to say, growth that is economic in the sense that it yields a net benefit or a profit. That too is accepted English usage. Now, does "economic growth" in the first sense imply "economic growth" in the second sense? No, absolutely not! Economic growth in the first sense (an economy that gets physically bigger) is logically quite consistent with uneconomic growth in the second sense, namely growth that increases costs faster than benefits and yields a net loss. Nevertheless, we assume that a bigger economy must always make us richer. This is pure confusion. That economists should contribute to this confusion is puzzling because all of microeconomics is devoted to finding the optimal scale of a given activity - the point beyond which marginal costs exceed marginal benefits and further growth would be uneconomic. Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost is even called the "when to stop rule" for growth of a firm. Why does this simple logic of optimization disappear in macroeconomics? Why is the growth of the macroeconomy not subject to an analogous "when to stop rule"? We recognize that all microeconomic activities of firms and households are parts of a larger system, and their growth causes displacement of other parts of the system. But the macroeconomy is thought to be the whole shebang, and when it expands, presumably into the void, it displaces nothing, and therefore incurs no opportunity cost. But this is false of course. The macroeconomy too is a part, a subsystem of the biosphere, a part of the Greater Economy of the natural ecosystem. Growth of the macroeconomy too imposes a rising opportunity cost that at some point will constrain its growth. But some will say that is a mere logical possibility. Surely if our empirical measure of growth is GDP based on voluntary buying and selling of final goods and services in free markets, then that guarantees that goods grow faster than bads. This is because people will voluntarily buy only goods, not bads. If they in fact do buy a bad then we have to redefine it as a good. True enough as far as it goes, which is not very far. Bads are inevitably produced as joint products along with goods. GDP accounting does not subtract the bads - instead it registers the additional production of anti-bads, and counts them as goods. For example, we do not subtract the cost of pollution, but we do add the value of the pollution clean-up. This is asymmetric accounting. In addition, we count the consumption of natural capital (depletion of mines, wells, aquifers, forests, fisheries, topsoil, etc.) as if it were income. Paradoxically, therefore, GDP, whatever else it may measure, is also the best statistical index we have of the aggregate of pollution, depletion, congestion, and loss of biodiversity. Economist Kenneth Boulding suggested, with tongue only a little bit in cheek, that we re-label it Gross Domestic Cost. At least we should put the costs and the benefits in separate accounts for comparison. Not surprisingly, economists and psychologists are now discovering that, beyond a sufficiency threshold, the positive correlation between GDP and self-evaluated happiness disappears. In sum, economic growth in sense 1 can be, and in the US has become, uneconomic growth in sense 2. And it is sense 2 that matters. Enough on economic growth. What then is a green economy? It is an economy that imitates green plants as far as possible. Plants use scarce terrestrial materials to capture abundant solar energy, and are careful to recycle the materials for reuse. Although humans are not able to photosynthesize we can imitate the strategy of maximizing use of the sun while economizing on terrestrial minerals, fossil fuels, and ecological services. Ever since the industrial revolution our strategy has been the opposite. Fortunately, as economist Georgescu-Roegen noted, we have not yet learned how to mine the sun and use up tomorrow's solar energy for today's growth. But we can mine the earth and use up tomorrow's fossil fuels, minerals, and waste absorption capacities today. We have eagerly done this to grow the economy, but have neglected the fact that at some point economic growth in sense one becomes uneconomic growth in sense two. In spite of the fact that green plants have no brains, they have managed to avoid the error of becoming dependent on the less abundant source of available energy. A green economy must do likewise - seek to maximize use of the abundant flow of solar low entropy and economize on the scarce stock of terrestrial low entropy. Specifically, a green economy would invest scarce terrestrial minerals in things like windmills, photovoltaic cells, and plows (or seed drills for no-till agriculture) - not squander them on armaments, Cadillacs, and manned space stunts. A green economy can be sufficient, sustainable, and even wealthy - but it cannot be a growth-based economy. A green economy must seek to develop qualitatively without growing quantitatively - to get better without getting bigger. There is another kind of green economy that seeks to be green after the manner of greenback dollars, rather than green plants. Green dollars, unlike green plants, cannot photosynthesize. But dollars can miraculously be created out of nothing and grow exponentially. However, Aristotle, ever the biologist, noted that this kind of growth is very suspect, because money has no reproductive organs. Unlike green plants, green money seeks to grow forever in the realm of abstract exchange value, even as we encounter limits to growth in the realm of the concrete use values for which money is supposed to be an honest token and symbol. Recently we have grown, or rather "swollen", by expanding the symbolic realm of finance. Debt is a mere number (like negative pigs) and can easily grow faster than the real wealth (positive pigs), by which it is expected to be redeemed. Wall Street has bought and sold an astronomical number of negative pigs-in-a-poke - "selling bets on debts and calling them assets", as Wendell Berry succinctly put it. We have recently experienced the failure of this fraudulent attempt to force expansion. Yet we have so far been unable to imagine any policy other than restarting the old growth economy for another round. After the next crisis we should try to avoid the Ponzi scheme of growth, and build a steady-state economy - a green economy that is sustainable, just, and sufficient for a good life. For more on that subject, and for serious intellectual and political efforts on its behalf, by people who I hope will be receiving your lifetime achievement award in the not too distant future, please google the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy, the US Society for Ecological Economics, and Solutions.org. Thank you!

The Time Can Now Wait…
I'm sure you've read it now,
but Ken Rosenthal
is reporting that the agent of Francisco
Liriano has filed a grievance with the Players
Union against the Twins, saying that they are keeping him in the minor leagues
for too long.
I think those of you who read
this site most frequently know that I'm pretty laid back,
nothing really excites or bothers me. But I have to admit, this one absolutely
upsets me. About a week ago, I wrote that The Time Has
Come, that Francisco Liriano was ready for the big leagues and that he could
come up any time. Now this happens, and I am fine with the Twins keeping him
down for another month. This is arguably the most ridiculous thing I have read
in a long time. A player filing a grievance against his big
league club saying that they need to call him up. Are you kidding me?
The Twins, hopefully, are
just sitting back and laughing. The Twins have been wise about keeping him in
the minor leagues. Many wanted him up a couple of months ago, right after he
stopped walking so many people. The fact is, he still wasn't throwing a lot of
strikes, and he wasn't showing what he was capable of. The Twins wanted him to
dominate. In his last three starts, he has done that… So, three starts means a big league promotion?
Who are the Twins going to
remove from the rotation? Livan? Sure, but he's owed a bunch of money and has that W-L
record that many like and think is important. He can't move. The four young
starters have all done very well and at this time, there is no need to take
them out of the rotation. What does this grievance say to the likes of Glen Perkins, Scott Baker, Kevin Slowey and Nick
Blackburn? You guys are pitching great, but I'm The Franchise, you shall
all bow down to me? Nice!
Blame the agent if you want,
but agents are paid by the player. This one is on Liriano.
How selfish? How stupid?
In my mind, there is
absolutely nothing positive that can come out of this situation for the Twins
or for Francisco Liriano.
Update - Joe
Christensen just made a tremendous point on his blog… compare how Denard Span handled his demotions to
Rochester with this… More proof that Denard Span is
true class.

Roger Brooke Taney was born on March 17, 1777, in Calvert County, Maryland. He served as attorney general and secretary of the treasury before being appointed the Supreme Court's fifth chief justice in 1836. Taney made history in the 1857 Dred Scot Case by ruling that black slaves were not citizens of the United States. This controversial historic figure died on December 12, 1864, in Washington, D.C.
Early Years
Roger Brooke Taney (pronounced taw'-NY) was born on March 17, 1777, in Calvert County, Maryland, to successful tobacco farmer Michael Taney V and his wife, Monica Taney. Roger B. Taney was one of six children. As the second son, he wasn't going to inherit the Taney property, so he pursued law at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania over the family farming business.
Entering Politics
Roger B. Taney passed the bar in 1799. That same year, he turned politician. A member of the Federalist party, Taney joined the Maryland House of Delegates. In 1816, he was elected to the Maryland Senate, serving a five-year term. Taney then ditched party loyalty to support Republican Andrew Jackson's successful 1829 run for the U.S. presidency. In turn, President Jackson made Taney attorney general in 1831. In this role, Taney assisted the president in dismantling the Second Bank of the United States. This led to his post as secretary of the treasury in 1833, where he continued the debatable move of removing the bank's federal funds and distributing them to banks in various states, especially to those supporting the Jackson Administration.
Chief Justice Appointment
President Andrew Jacson attempted to reward his colleague once again for his devotion with a Supreme Court appointment in 1835, but the Senate rejected the appointment due to Taney's questionable undoing of the bank—marking the first time Congress had nixed a presidential nominee's confirmation for a Cabinet post. When Chief Justice John Marshall died in 1836, Jackson renominated his ally and Taney was confirmed, becoming the fifth Supreme Court justice as well as the first Roman Catholic to lead the United States' highest court.
'Dred Scott v. Sanford'
On March 15, 1857, Taney delivered a pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott v. Sanford case—marking how he would be remembered historically. Scott, a slave in the free state of Illinois and free territory of Wisconsin, wanted his freedom when he moved to Missouri, a slave state. Taney ruled against Scott, declaring that African Americans were not United States citizens and, thusly, had no right to sue. This chief justice also stated that Congress could not forbid slavery in U.S. territories. Taney's inflammatory wording included a statement that blacks "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."
Despite receiving public backlash, especially from Republicans, including Abraham Lincoln, Taney held firm. On June 16, 1858, at the Illinois Republican convention, Lincoln, then an aspiring senator, gave the famous "House Divided" speech, stating, "What Dred Scott's master might lawfully do with Dred Scott, in the free state of Illinois, every other master may lawfully do with any other one, or 1,000 slaves, in Illinois, or in any other free state." Ironically, Lincoln was sworn in by Taney, who remained on the bench for 28 years, until his death on December 12, 1864, at the age of 87, in Washington, D.C.

Discover the world's oldest tree, America's biggest cavern, and Florida's largest herd of wild horses on these three treks.
Florida's Wild Cracker Horses
See the heirs of Ponce de Leon's Spanish herd.
The Wonder
In 1521, Spanish explorers introduced horses to Florida. Today, you can see their ancestors–a herd of 20-odd horses–just 10 miles south of Gainesville, on Paynes Prairie, a 21,000-acre natural preserve. The horse's name derives from the crack of the whip brandished by Florida cowboys. Feral bands formed after the Spanish abandoned their horses to make room on their ships for treasure. Once used to herd cattle and pull buggies, the last descendants of these stout, strong Spanish mustangs are now protected on the preserve. They stick to Cone's Dike and Bolten Bluff, the best grazing in the preserve and a hangout for wild bison, alligators, and more than 270 species of birds.
The Way
Horses are roamers, but locals say that crackers reliably appear just about anywhere along Cone's Dike Trail, an 8.2-mile out-and-back.

Now living in Gainesville, FL, I have seen the Cracker horses at Paynes Prairie many times. Last time they were at the vistior center. Saw them the time before and other times on the Bolen Bluff trail.
Get out and enjoy the outdoors and maybe we will cross paths sometime. Be safe.
We live in Gainesville and have seen this herd. They are quite elusive, but worth the effort to find them. Add to the horses the bison on the prairie, and you never know what you will find on this little natural oddity in central Florida.
My husband & I are from NC and we visited Carlsbad in 2002 - it was absolutely wonderful and beyond words to explain the natural beauty. Great place to visit and great area to explore go to White Sands monument in Alamogorda when you get done at Carlsbad stunning!!!

I'd be willing to bet that D23 will have something pre-opening but I would also bet there will be little fanfare other than that.
I'll be in WDW from May 10 - 20 and will just miss the official re-opening of "Star Tours".
I've heard about 'soft openings' for other attractions before they officially opened but don't know anything about how this type of opening is handled.
Will I have to get a ticket of some kind and where? (I assume Guest Relations).
Are the openings scheduled throughout the day and will Guest Relations know when?
Thanx for the help!

Soft openings are basically "dress rehearsals". They're not official, the ride will (maybe) run occassionally in the days leading up to the official opening. Its so they can allow the new staff to run the ride with guests, make sure that the ride is running without technical complications, etc. Guest Services MAY be able to tell you if the ride is up or not, but its really luck of the draw. Maybe they'll run it for the public early, maybe not.
You might have better luck just stopping by the attraction and asking a CM if there might be a soft opening that day.
I thought it was opening on the 20th? Did that change?
Park hours for Hollywood Studios on May 20 have been extended
to 8am - Midnight due to SWW and Star Tours 2.
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.
Soft openings are often a couple weeks or days prior to official opening.
They are sporadic and usually unannounced. Most recently the Haunted Mansion Quay. One hour early the CM's said not open today and an hour later it was open for a couple hours. Gives the Imagineers a chance to get the bugs out before the grand opening.

We happened to be around when there was a soft opening for Toy Story. It's kind of the luck of the draw. We stopped by the attraction throughout the day because sometimes they had the attraction up and running and other times they didn't. You can check with Guest Services, but I wouldn't count on them having too much info. Your best bet is to stop by the attraction and ask a CM. Who knows, you may get lucky and the ride will be running.
Good luck. Have a great time when you go.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy, As the son of a printer I come by my affection for the First Amendment honestly, and directly. As we hear the testimony from this distinguished panel on whether to allow the televising of federal court proceedings, I reflect upon my father, who instilled in me a profound respect for the freedom of speech which is at the foundation of our great democracy. I was lucky enough to grow up in Vermont, a place where the culture nourishes the love of liberty and press freedom. After all, Vermont held out in joining the Union until 1791, after the Bill of Rights was ratified and just a few years later, the citizens of Vermont vigorously supported Matthew Lyon in his fight against the Alien and Sedition Acts which was instrumental in the eventual overturning of the that act. The freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment are served not only by the press and speech, but also by ensuring that our citizens have access to the government. When I was a young man and a prosecutor, Vermont had a culture of open government in which we had the opportunity to speak with our elected officials and other leaders on a regular basis. While the values of transparency must always be balanced against security needs and the protection of personal privacy, the public will always have a right to know what their government is doing. I think we can all agree that our democracy works best when there is sunshine in government. With the current Administration's dramatic shift towards secrecy, these have been tough times for the public's right to know. It is more important now than ever that we take steps not only to secure, but also to expand, access to government for all Americans. That is why I have continually supported efforts to make all three branches of our federal government more transparent and accessible. Except for rare closed sessions, the proceedings of Congress and its Committees are open to the public and carried live on cable television and radio. Members and Committees also are using the Internet and Web sites to make their work available to their constituencies and the general public. The work of Executive Branch agencies is subject to public scrutiny through the Freedom of Information Act, among other mechanisms. We must demand transparency from any government, but this Administration, with its penchant for secrecy, requires vigilant attention. This Administration's default position unfortunately has been secrecy and non-transparency, and at a great cost in accountability to the public and damage to the Freedom of Information Act, one of the cornerstones of our democracy. It establishes the right of Americans to know what their government is doing - or not doing. As President Johnson said in 1966, when he signed the Freedom of Information Act into law: "This legislation springs from one of our most essential principles: A democracy works best when the people have all the information that the security of the Nation permits." Sadly, the Administration has tried to undermine the Act and, in so doing, has done harm not only the Act itself, but to the democratic principles it serves. In 2001, Attorney General Ashcroft reversed his predecessor's policy on FOIA. Janet Reno told the government, "When in doubt, disclose." John Ashcroft flipped this policy on its head, sending the message that government agencies should err on the side on non-disclosure and promising that the Department of Justice would defend those decisions to withhold information in the courts. In nearly every piece of legislation that touches on FOIA, we can count on government agencies or powerful special interests to work overtime to tack on statutory exemptions from FOIA. The Bush Administration has tried to control the flow of information through the news media. It tried to limit or in some cases even prevent the press from documenting the death and destruction and deadly delay in the shameful aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It blocked the publication of respectful photos of coffins holding the remains of American soldiers killed in Iraq. The Administration broadcast ads featuring Armstrong Williams, a conservative commentator, supporting the No Child Left Behind Act, without disclosing that it paid for Williams' endorsement. The Government Accountability Office found that the government engaged in illegal propaganda. And just days ago, a high-level White House official was indicted for lying to federal prosecutors in the CIA leak investigation. This last episode, which remains under investigation, is an incredible example of the government seeking to manipulate press coverage of a highly sensitive issue -- namely, why this Nation went to war in Iraq. A vital democracy cannot afford to be spoon-fed information by the government that belongs to the people themselves. More can and must be done to increase access to government, such as the work I am doing with Senator Cornyn to improve the implementation of FOIA. Certainly, more can be done in the Third Branch. Although most judicial proceedings are open to those who can travel to the courthouse and wait in line, emerging technology could invite the rest of the country into the courtroom. All 50 states have allowed some form of audio or video coverage of court proceedings, but the federal courts lag behind. I have cosponsored several bills to address this, including two bills currently pending, the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act of 2005 with Senator Grassley, and the Televising Supreme Court Proceedings Act, with Senator Specter. These bills extend the tradition of openness to the Nation's federal courts and can help Americans be better informed about the important decisions that are made there and how they are made. In 1994, the Judicial Conference concluded that the time was not ripe to permit cameras in the federal courts, and it rejected a recommendation of the Court Administration and Case Management Committee to authorize the photographing, recording, and broadcasting of civil proceedings in federal trial and appellate courts. Today, the time is ripe. The First Amendment is one of the magnificent bequests of earlier Americans to all the generations that follow. These rights are a fragile gift, needing nurturing and protection by each new generation. We should use the technology available to this generation to give even greater effect to the guarantees of that Amendment and the free and open government it facilitates. It is time to let the sunshine into our federal courts. I thank all of the witnesses who have exercised their First Amendment rights by sharing their thoughts with us today. The federal courts serve as a bulwark for the protection of individual rights and liberties and the Supreme Court is often the final arbiter of Constitutional questions which have a profound effect on all Americans. Allowing the public greater access to the public proceedings of the federal courts will allow Americans to evaluate for themselves the quality of justice in this country, and deepen their understanding of the work that goes on in the courts. |

Hello all,
A couple of years ago some friends and I went surfing in Monterey, Ca and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I then moved to middle of nowhere Texas and was unable to really get into it due to school and 7+ hours to the nearest beach. Now, I'm currently living in Germany and I've decided that I might as well live a little and take some weekend trips to the coast. I have a couple of questions. First, can anyone lend me some info on places that are good to go to in Europe if my wife and I are beginners? The second question is about board size. I'm 5'10", weighing 180 and I've come a cross a funboard that's 7'6" x 21 3/4" x 2 5/8". I was wondering if this sounds like a good match for me or not. Anyways, thanks in advance for the help. From what 've read so far this seems like a really helpful community of people and hopefully, I'll be able to contribute some knowledge someday down the road. Thanks again.
