Integrity....A Life Long Journey of Consciousness
by The Vibrant Coach in Goals
Tags: integrity business coach life coach leadership
Everybody thinks they have it but, no one does. At least, not all the time! That's right. Integrity is elusive. One moment you're IN integrity. The next you're out. So, it's not a solid, set, & foundational state. It's a fluid, ebbing & flowing state. The goal in life is to live consciously aware of our behaviors and how they effect our lives & others.
Join Nicole Greer, the Vibrant Coach on July 8th at 12:30pm on her BlogTalk Radio Show to dialogue on how character and the 48 Vibrant Virtues can impact your state of integrity. Each of us has a "TILT" or a bent toward one behavior.
We can have a propensity to be resilient without understanding the missing wisdom that is causing us to fall down so we can rise back up. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to be so resilient? Wouldn't harnessing some wisdom be REALLY helpful?
We can also have a tendency to be seriously courageous! Great, as long as we are not putting others in harms way. Wouldn't it be great to be courageous, strong, and outspoken while still considering how others FEEL who may be impacted by our valient efforts?
We can be tilted toward wisdom. Great. But, if we never try anything new and just rely on the wisdom of yesterday we'll never uncover new territory & learn to be resilient!
We can be slanted toward serving others & selflessly moving through life serving humanity. Beautiful. Except when we enable others & don't challenge those around us to risk.
What is needed is coaching & a tool to help us see how resilience, courage, humanity and wisdom are vital to our integrity!

Obesity is a risk factor for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Plasma levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) are predictive of cardiovascular morbidity in adults, and CRP levels are associated with over-weight. Increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors. We evaluated the effect of SDB on CRP levels and IMT in lean and obese children not selected for snoring.
101 children (age 5-15 years) attending a weight clinic or scheduled for routine visit. IMT was measured with quantitative B-mode ultrasound scans. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was measured overnight: AHI < 1 defined controls, AHI ≥ 1 to < 5 = mild SDB, and AHI ≥ 5 = obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
AHI was significantly associated with Hs-CRP concentration (r = 0.32, p = 0.002) in all 101 children irrespective of age and sex. Body mass index (BMI) was higher in OSA children than controls (25.5 ± 7.0 vs 22.1 ± 6.9, p = 0.05). Obese children had 3.3 times more probability of having OSA (HR 3.3, 95% CI 1.2-9.3, p = 0.02) than lean children.
Hs-CRP values were significantly higher in children with OSA than in children without (p = 0.011), but not when BMI z-score was added as covariate. IMT was not associated with AHI or SDB.
The results of this study suggest an association between OSA and Hs-CRP concentrations (mainly mediated by overweight and obesity), but not between OSA and subclinical atherosclerosis. There is scope for prevention in childhood before OSA syndrome causes the irreversible damage to arteries observed in adult patients.

Mayim Bialik has been breastfeeding her son Fred for the past four years, and now that time has come to an end. In a Feb. 6 blog post for Jewish parenting website Kveller, the recently single "Big Bang Theory" actress detailed how she finally weaned her little boy.
"Well, nay-sayers, prepare to be proven wrong. All of you snarky mamas who glared at me nursing my 3 1/2-year-old on the NYC subway, prepare to be amazed. And to all of my family and friends who wanted to chastise me about nursing a walking, talking, thinking, laughing little man named Fred, thanks for holding your tongues," Bialik, 37, wrote. "Because we did it. Fred isn't going to nurse on his way down the wedding aisle or at his high school graduation. I didn't need to break him of a 'habit' and teach him 'who's in charge.' I didn't need to set boundaries you thought I should have set when I didn't want to set them. Because we did it: Fred weaned."
PHOTOS: Hollywood moms open up about giving birth
Bialik -- also mom to 7-year-old son Miles with ex Michael Stone -- says it happened around Thanksgiving, "days before I released the public statement that I was getting divorced."
"From the time that Fred night-weaned a year ago, he was nursing about once a day, but not always once a day. Sometimes he'd go a few days without nursing. After night-weaning, he could nurse anywhere but in the bed, since it invariably made him think of nursing all night, which he did like a real champ for his entire happy milky life until he was 3. And I didn't want to go back to that!" the former "Blossom" star explains. "I nursed Fred four to six times a night for three years. I pumped at work for Fred from the time I got the job on 'The Big Bang Theory' when he was 18 months old until he was 3. ... I didn't nurse him literally anywhere, anytime, but I made sure to meet his needs and have mine satisfied as well."
PHOTOS: '90s TV stars, then and now
Though she "had difficulty nursing both of my boys," Bialik believes it provided "the best nutrition, nurturing and bonding ever." Toward the end of her breastfeeding, Fred "typically nursed from both sides since I was prone to clogged ducts for most of our nursing relationship," the star explains.
"It wasn't until much more recently -- it's been three months now since he nursed -- that he asked to nurse. But now when he asks, he knows it's funny," the "Beyond the Sling" author says of Fred. "That he's a big boy. That he doesn't drink 'nummies' anymore."
PHOTOS: Child stars all grown up
The transition has been hard for Bialik, whose other TV credits include "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." "I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss being able to latch him on and make it all better. We have other ways to soothe Fred now," she writes. "When he's very very upset or very very hurt, we lay on the couch where he nursed countless mornings, afternoons and evenings, and we rock and I sing to him his favorite lullabies. And he holds me tight, and I hold him tight, and I know that there was never ever ever anything wrong with nursing Fred."
A longtime proponent of "attachment parenting," Bialik knows her decision to breastfeed her son until age 4 is controversial. "Even when people laughed and sneered and accused me of horrible things no mother should ever be accused of when tending to the normal and beautiful needs of her mammal child," the actress writes. "It was never wrong and it was always right."
The vegan mother of two ended her blog post with a message for her youngest son: "Go out into the scary wonderful crazy broken world, sweet tender Fred. Take your fear and conquer it, and come back to me when it's too much for you. I may not have milk to give you, but I have a heart forever etched with your name, your face, your eyes, your impossibly stunning tapered lashes that hold the tears only you can cry. Thank you, Fred, for being my nursling."

The Delinquent Juror Prosecution Program
INTRODUCTION: As a result of the limited term jurors are expected to serve, the Office of Jury Commissioner (OJC) was required to increase the number of jurors summonsed from within each judicial district in order to meet the needs of the juror requirements of each courthouse. The OJC, in an effort to achieve a higher juror yield and maintain a diverse jury pool, implemented the Delinquent Juror Prosecution Program to prosecute those jurors who unlawfully: fail to respond to a jury summons; respond to the summons but then fail to appear at the courthouse as scheduled, or; fail to fully complete juror service. The procedural aspects of this Program were established by the JMAC in 1996 to ensure compliance with due process and statutory requirements. The consistent, persistent, yet gentle enforcement of this law is undertaken in order to ensure that all prospective jurors fulfill their duty and obligation under the law. This program is gradually expanding to include all of the judicial districts. The Legal Department of the OJC is responsible for initiating the prosecution of delinquent jurors and employers who fail to pay an employee-juror for the first three days of service, or harass an employee-juror.
In the section below entitled "Statistics," the top pie chart reflects the 24,446 delinquent juror notices issued by the OJC from December 4, 1996 through February 17, 1999, and the current status of each. The second pie chart reflects the percentage of delinquencies that are resolved at each step of the process.
Please note that under the current system no exemptions
exist; every citizen must perform juror service if called. However, a juror may be
disqualified under the law from performing juror service.

About the Program DEFINITION OF A DELINQUENT JUROR IF YOU HAVE RECIEVED AN "APPLICATION FOR CRIMINAL COMPLAINT" IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A "FAILURE TO APPEAR" POSTCARD STEPS TAKEN IN PURSUING DELINQUENT JURORS IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A "NOTICE OF DELINQUENCY" LETTER STATISTICS
DEFINITION of a DELINQUENT JUROR:
- one who unlawfully fails to respond to a summons for juror service;
- one who responds to the summons, but fails to appear as scheduled, or;
- one who appears as scheduled, but leaves the courthouse before being dismissed.
THE PROCESS: The following is a chronological table of the steps taken in pursuing delinquent jurors:
TIME LINE ACTION TAKEN On or after 30 days from the date the juror failed to appear as scheduled, or appeared and left without being dismissed: a letter entitled "DELINQUENCY NOTICE: Failure to Appear for Juror Service" is sent via first-class mail to the juror. The juror has 30 days from the letter's issuance to explain his/her absence and reschedule another appearance date, or provide evidence in support of a request for disqualification from juror service, as they were instructed to do when they were summonsed. On or after 30 days from the "DELINQUENCY NOTICE" being mailed, and the juror has not been removed from delinquency status: the OJC Legal Counsel will seek the issuance of a Criminal Complaint. The allegedly delinquent juror is notified via first-class mail to appear for a show cause hearing. Until the date of that hearing, the juror may serve or provide evidence in support of a request for disqualification from juror service. On or after two and one half weeks of the issuance of the notice for the show cause hearing, and the juror has not been removed from delinquency status: the show cause hearing is held at the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction. At said hearing, the juror is given further opportunity to fulfill his/her obligation, or provide evidence of disqualification. The juror is granted a continuance of a limited number of days to allow this to occur. If the service is performed, the Application for Criminal Complaint is withdrawn. If the juror fails to appear or the continuance expires without the juror having served: the Clerk Magistrate issues the Criminal Complaint and the juror will be summonsed for arraignment before the court. If the juror appears in response to the summons, the court will usually: (1) accept evidence of disqualification; (2) allow the juror to serve and present evidence of completion of service within a specific time, or; (3) accept a plea of not guilty and schedule the case for a pretrial conference. The juror fails to appear in court in response to the arraignment summons: a warrant for the arrest of the juror is issued. Upon conviction, a fine of not more than $2,000, a term of community service and/or court costs may be imposed by the court.

A serving of sweet green garden (or English) peas, which are really legumes, contains more protein than an egg—with less than
a gram of fat and no cholesterol.
Season: Year-round; peak spring and fall.
How to Choose Peas
Look for pods that are firm, unblemished, glossy, crunchy, and full of medium-size peas. -
How to Store Peas
Keep peas unwashed (moisture speeds decay) and loosely wrapped in the refrigerator's vegetable drawer for up to 4 days. For maximum sweetness they should be eaten as soon as possible (the sugars begin converting to starch the minute they're picked). Leave them in their pods until you're ready to use them. Frozen peas keep for up to 8 months.
How to Prepare Peas
Garden peas should be shelled and blanched in boiling water just until they turn bright green (1 to 2 minutes).
Find out what's in season in your area right now, then locate a farmers' market near you.

This model interpolates from a grid of neutron star (NS) atmosphere spectra to produce a final spectrum that depends on the parameters listed below. The atmosphere spectra are obtained using the latest equation of state and opacity results for a partially ionized, strongly magnetized hydrogen or mid-Z element plasma. The models are constructed by solving the coupled radiative transfer equations for the two photon polarization modes in a magnetized medium, and the atmosphere is in radiative and hydrostatic equilibrium. The atmosphere models mainly depend on the surface effective temperature Teff and magnetic field strength B and inclination ΘB; there is also a dependence on the surface gravity g=(1+zg)GM/R2, where 1+zg=(1-2GM/R)-1/2 is the gravitational redshift and M and R are the NS mass and radius, respectively.
Two sets of models are given: one set with a single surface B and Teff and a set which is constructed with B and Teff varying across the surface according to the magnetic dipole model (for the latter, θm is the angle between the direction to the observer and the magnetic axis). The effective temperatures span the range log Teff=5.5-6.8 for hydrogen and log Teff.=5.8-6.9 for mid-Z elements(note: for the latter, change temperature range in nsmax_lmodel.dat) The models with single (B,Teff) cover the energy range 0.05-10 keV, while the models with (B,Teff)-distributions cover the range 0.09-5 keV.
par1 = logTeff, surface (unredshifted) effective temperature
par2 = 1+zg, gravitational redshift
par3 = switch indicating model to use (see nsmax.dat or model list)
A = (Rem/d)2, normalization, where Rem is the size (in km) of the emission region and d is the distance (kpc) to the object Note: A is added automatically by XSPEC.
Please send your comments/questions to Wynn Ho (email@example.com). If you publish results obtained using NSMAX, please reference Ho, W.C.G., Potekhin, A.Y., & Chabrier, G. (2008, ApJS, 178, 102) and also Mori, K. & Ho, W.C.G. (2007, MNRAS, 377, 905) if using the mid-Z models.

Not anything like it's advertised. Shrimp boats and 18wheelers running their engines all night. If the wind comes from the southwest you smell diesel and paint from the shipyards. During the day the sound of sandblasting is deafening. They have a nice pool but not heated. Activities are very limited. We found a nice place on Lavaca Bay and at least the managers were nice when you had a complaint, which were few.

Audio giant Behringer has announced this week that it is launching three premium small format mixers with iPad docking stations at the 2012 NAMM Show in California. The XENYX iX Series mixers are designed to handle live performance and provide state-of-the-art tools to create professional recordings. Performances can also be synced to video by using the iPads video out capability.
The new XENYX iX Series, which includes the XENYX iX3242USB, iX2442USB and iX1642USB, features a built-in iPad docking station designed to send signal to and from the iPad with a wide range of routing options. The innovative feature set included in the mixers enables the user to record and mix on a professional level, thanks to the built-in stereo USB audio interface. Connect these mixers directly to a PC or Mac via a single USB cable to record any signal source connected to the mixer.
All iX mixers include the new dual-engine KLARK-TEKNIK FX processor with 32 editable, studio-grade presets such as reverb, chorus, flange, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. In addition to literally thousands of apps, the iX mixers use the iPad to control the new KLARK-TEKNIK FX Processor app, enhancing the mix by allowing the user deep control of EQs, compressors and reverbs and a full spectrum analyser.
The mixers also feature high-performance XENYX mic pre amps, which represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology. Comparable to far more expensive, stand-alone mic preamps, XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to 200 kHz for transparent, crystal-clear performance.
Source: Behringer via Engadget"The new XENYX iX mixers demonstrate the innovation that stems from our massive investment in Research and Development," says Mark Wilder, VP of Marketing Communications. "These are the first of many more ground-breaking products to be announced at NAMM 2012."

Absolutely ridiculous. They've been playing .500 ball while dealing with injuries to most all of their starters and incorporating new key players. Anyone who came into this season thinking "NBA Finals or Bust" for the Nets was fooling themselves. They've got a lot of high-priced talent, some legit All-Stars, but no one who's proven capable of carrying a team/elevating talent around them to the highest level. I don't think any of their best players have ever made it out of the second round of the playoffs when playing a leading role on a team. Williams is a PG who can make guys better, but he's also having one of the worst seasons of his career.
You think he'd have learned his lesson after what happened in Utah. Yeah, he got the coach fired, but he also got himself traded to NJ. Be careful what you wish for.

Different sport, different physical demands.
Besides, no one is saying he can't return to form. The question is will he be ab;e to return to form in whatever is left of the season when he does come back. If he can't both he and the Bulls are probably better off with him sitting out for the season, giving him the extra time to work on his knee and his conditioning, and start fresh out o the gates next season.
Wasn't Avery Coach of the Month last month? They are a. 500 team this is kinda hysterical and premature.
This is what, 2 Coaches in a row that D-Will has gotten fired?
All of a sudden, the gig as Nets Coach may have become the worst job in the NBA.
Their Center is an oft-injured softy who can barely manage 5 rebounds a game the Shooting Guard is the overrated Joe Johnson and the Point Guard is D-Will, the Coach Killa.
The only guy aside from PJ that I could see wanting that job is Larry Brown.
Coaching seems like it's going to be getting a lot tougher. Organizations are wanting success right out of the gate and with a fresh team.

If you are the Nets, I stick with PJ. This team was assemble with those under radar stars like Wallace and Johnson, and its sad. The team needs a big man in the post, who can kick the ball out to Johnson. If I were the Nets , I would be on the phone with the Sixers or the Lakers and trying hard to get their centers. I take a bad contract. I give up Lopez,Humphries, and Wallace, if I had to.
Well if the Lakers still suck at the end of the year, Dwight can go to Brooklyn.

Dont diss Wallace, he is more impressive than Johnson so far. He isnt a fake allstar shooter like Johnson. He is a hard working player, who is very good at his role. I was impressed he was attacking, crashing against Boston on his own when his team mates had given up.
I would not give up a good player like Wallace, you cant have only 3 point shooters like Johnson to a make top NBA team. Give up Lopes sure but you need good one and one defender,rebounders,decent scorers like Gerald Wallace.

Thanksgiving - Your Liver Needs Thanking Too!
There's nothing more sad than an elaborately planned meal with hastally served drinks.You agonized over those recipes, so why would you allow the drinks to clash with your culinary triumphs? This year is especially celebratory considering many of us will be enjoying the meal by the light of the menorah. Holy sequined yarmulkes! Wasn't pairing stuff with turkey and stuffing hard enough?
Yes, it can be tough to pair a meal that manages to hit almost every note on the flavor spectrum between savory and sweet, yet there are ways to make it work with hardly any effort.
Why not start by offering your guests a fine sherry? An Amontillado awakens the palate without the summery brine of a Manzanilla or Fino, and is an elegant way to begin the festivities. It's delicious with cheeses, nuts and patés as well as those cute little savory muffins your friend brought over. Also, it's fantastic with butternut squash soup - you might even want to drizzle some in it!
You could also begin with a hard cider. On its own, it's certainly festive enough, but it's also a fine base for sparkling punch! Buy a few bottles, empty them into a pretty bowl, add some cranberry, plum, blood orange, pear or apple liqueur (or a combination thereof), and maybe a little whiskey or brandy, cut up some orange wheels, plonk in some cinnamon sticks and grate a little nutmeg over it. Et voilà! You have yourself a sparkling treat that will keep everyone busy while you figure out what to do about the pan of brussel sprouts you just accidentally dropped on the kitchen floor. Move along, nothing to see here…
As for wine, there are several styles that are a natural match with the roastiness of the turkey, the herbs and vegetal flavors or other dishes, but also light enough to tackle the sweetness of sauces and side dishes, and if you're eating for two holidays, the latkes! Red Zinfandel is a big, fruity favorite, plus for a traditional American holiday, you might want to stay 'Merican with your wine choices. Just keep in mind that many zins have a higher ABV, which can bring on that feeling of Big Meal Bluch (™) pretty fast.
Grenache is what I like to call a wine "shape-shifter," because it can have a way of matching almost anything along the meal, especially in a good blend like a Gigondas or other Rhone blends, or a Spanish Priorat. Another solid choice is something in the Cabernet Franc family, with an earthy backbone and fruit up front, like a Chinon. Then of course, Thanksgiving coincides with that time of year - Les Beaujolais Nouveaus est arrivée! Though if that is too light and fruity for your tastes, a Beaujolais Village is always an excellent choice for this type of meal, and can be served with a slight chill. A bonus for an overheated apartment filled with extra guests.
Finally, what to serve with all those desserts? Coffee, of course! Give your guests a little shot of coffee liqueur, or if that's not your thing, there's always pumpkin liqueur or some fine pear or apple brandy. It's also good to have these on hand to bake right into your recipes! Besides, during cleanup, you're going to need a good quaff to reward yourself.
Cheers, and happy Thanksgiving, everyone! And a merry Gobble Tov!

#SFBatKid and the Clever Girls Collective
Every once in a while, it's nice to get a real honest feel good story. For us here in the San Francisco Bay Area, last week was largely centered on the story of Bat Kid. The story's pretty simple-a five year old little boy has effectively beat Cancer after close to a four year struggle. How the city of San Francisco came together to celebrate became just as important and I think offered a nice beginning to the holiday season. Oh did I mention that the kid loves, like really LOVES Batman, so the city set up an entire day long of capers for him to stop while wearing a batsuit and driving around in a batmobile. It's the kind of thing that every adult kid would want to do if given the chance and this little boy is certainly deserving and a good reminder of what's possible. As the father of a toddler myself, I can also appreciate the many things a sick kid might miss, especially as my son seems to think two daily park trips is an essential part of life, raining or not these days.
Of course, this story went well beyond local interest, showing up on every major national and international news outlet available, even receiving President Obama's first Vine message, in large part because of the social media work of the Clever Girls Collective.
While this isn't necessarily a wine related blog post, I thought a social media startup doing something this intense and this well, for free deserves a mention and our respect.
If you're looking for a social media company to work with, I'd say one that enticed the President to respond to their pitch, would be worth a phone call don't you think?
#Winechat 11/20 We Host with Wesley Ashley Wine Sample
We're happy to be hosting #winechat tonight with a group of bloggers who received two bottles from Wesley Ashley Wines. We're featuring these two wines, along with an Oregon Pinot Noir in our Special Selections Wine Club this month.
Instead of including newsletters in our sample shipments, we thought that simply adding our newsletter online....would make more sense as well as making the entire event more accessible for anyone who chooses to take part.
About Wesley Ashley: Only the grandson of two Baptist ministers could be brave enough to explore the question; does wine have a soul? Is the science of wine the most important aspect, or is there something intrinsic to specific wines, the sense of place that it comes from and some other incalculable quality that leads to some being better than others. In this space, we don't typically spend a ton of time talking about the people behind the brands but in this case Wesley Ashley is being pushed forward first and foremost by proprietor James Sloate who comes from an influential and successful background in real estate, into the wine industry for the first time. Wesley Ashley is named after his son (whose first name is his middle name) as well as his daughter and takes an interesting look at building a wine brand. What you have in your glass are two interesting and unique looks into the Rhone varietals from Santa Barbara County, both of which should pair incredibly well with food. Secondly, Wesley Ashley is making a series of keg wines, at lower price points, in compostable or recyclable containers, which are starting to make significant headway into restaurants in the east bay area of San Francisco. I met Sloate at his urban warehouse which contains both the Wesley Ashley offices, as well as some of their storage and production facilities and came away impressed with both his passion for wine and his brand, while noticing immediately that this is a better funded winery operation than many startups we run into. In any case, the wine is extemporary and deserves a space on your dinner table here in the near future.
Tasting Notes Cuvee Blanc: Stereotypical and enjoyable extremely aromatic Rhone white, only 250 cases of total production shows notes of pear, apricot and slight floral accents. Creamy and silky texture, but enough backbone to give your mouth some warmth (one of the reasons we liked it with turkey). Satisfying without length on the finish.
Tasting Notes Cuvee: Largely Grenache (75%), the classic strawberry flavors from that varietal are evident from the nose, to the palate. There is also plenty of spice imparted from the Syrah and an innovative winemaking technique of fermenting the Syrah (20% of the final blend) and Petite Sirah (5%) together and allowing that fermentation to end while already in barrel, has left a nice mouth feel and some oak and vanilla flavors from the wood that you don't normally have in Grenache. If you're someone wanting a Grenache with some more weight, this is a good bet and a good combo.
New Zealand Pinot-Where to Learn More
Over the past few weeks and months I've seen an increasing number of wine blogs and industry sources that I know espouse the utter greatness that is New Zealand wine, especially their Pinot Noir. I agree that the Pinot from New Zealand is extemporary and is likely to see a huge uptick in consumer acceptance here in American in the coming years for the simple reason that an increasing number of consumers are looking for higher acidity in their Pinot-a trait that New Zealand is almost uniquely situated to provide.
Of course, finding information on New Zealand Pinot Noir can sometimes be easier said than done. Unlike other English speaking wine regions, there simply isn't an inordinate amount of information out there, even about the relatively small number of New Zealand Pinot's which are imported into California.
Here's a great place to look:
Wine of the Week: Written by Sue Courtney, who is undoubtedly more qualified to review wine than I am, writes a site which is unique within the world of online wine writing in 2013 because it is set up more as an ezine or online magazine than a traditional blog. What will keep bringing you back though is a thorough look into the world of New Zealand wine and an author who hasn't forgotten that the goal of sites like hers, should be to educate consumers and not become a shrill for any specific growing region.
There's a lot to like and I appreciate Sue's willingness to share her personal experiences and perspectives. I enjoy working in the wine industry because of the vast number of different perspectives and styles we're introduced to over time. Sue spends more time writing about the aromas of wine than most, that's something that makes her tasting notes unique and frankly will challenge your own ability to pinpoint these scents if you can track down these same wines.
She has also taken the time to write a bit about the inherent challenges we're faced as both consumers and wine educators or writers to discern if wine shows and the many Gold Medals they produce, hold any real value as an insight into the quality of a wine. I've been dubious about medals awarded here in California by country fairs and others since I know wineries often continue submitting until they find the right mix of medals, but she gives an insightful look at what she considers important, and not. It's worth a read if you've ever bought a wine based on a medal.
Oh and lastly, if you're looking for the biggest and best collections of New Zealand Pinot tasting notes online-try and top this.
The Passionate Foodie, Emerson Brown Drink Local & More
With the state legislature in Massachusetts set to vote on a direct shipping bill sponsored by Free the Grapes (among others of course) which would bring the state largely into compliance with an increasing number of states allowing competition, abiding by the commerce clause (if you believe it actually exists, or has gone way of the Dodo bird) and most importantly, giving consumers a wider set of choices when it comes to the wine they drink.
For me, no state has been quite as frustrating as Massachusetts. I think a lot of the frustration stems both from our inability to compete for customers in a state that, based on demographics would be good for us and receptive to our message of better wine, from smaller vintners. Also, I've seen one of my favorite winemakers and a true star of the industry in Napa Valley struggle with a law that is either simply unfair, certainly politically motivated and quite possibly unconstitutional. Keith Emerson who spends his days making wine at Vineyard 29 under Phillipe Melka, but who also makes a personal brand called Emerson Brown has roots and strong family ties in and around Boston.
Emerson is an interesting case because he comes with a family background where his family owned high end restaurants in an around Boston. The current shipping and regulations do not allow Emerson's family to buy and serve his own wine at their restaurants. Based on my experiences as a kid and my dad owning a Dairy Queen (and more importantly the relationships that was created by simply being around the restaurant as a kid), I don't think it is a stretch to think these world class wines, would be warmly received at locations where the family is well known.
Another great example is Drew Bledsoe who has returned to live in the Northwest where he grew up and then attended college. He's since founded a winery called Doubleback. Bledsoe as you might expect, has become the perfect spokesperson for the wine industry when it comes to Massachusetts shipping. He's known and after years have healed some wounds, well liked almost universally within the state. It doesn't hurt that his winery cannot legally ship wine into the state either.
That's probably a longer introduction than I intended, but when it comes to Massachusets based wine writers, there's a relatively short list of memorable writers. With perhaps a handful of exceptions, I think that list begins and ends with Richard Auffrey ie the Passionate Foodie.
Auffrey is an interesting case, even in the world of wine writing which seems to bring out a nice range of personalities. The guy has written a series of books called the Tipsy Sensi, which includes zombies, ninjas and cats. Seriously. I'll admit, I'm slightly intrigued by anyone who may be able to weave those elements into an interesting novel. My personally favorite aspect of the Passionate Foodie blog is his Monday Rant series which is where you see (IMO at least) his best writing and personality shine through. From a rebuff of a Kansas couple that refused to tip a waiter who provided excellent service, but whom they believed to be gay (seriously, this exists still?) to his continued reminders that drinking and driving is preventable and pointless, to a request that we all stop eating shitty fast food hamburgers from major chains he offers a varied set of tastes and statements. Among my favorite, a request that we stop spoiling our kids when it comes to food, in a family where my soon to be 3 year has never seen a chicken mcnugget and thinks it's "silly" when kids at other homes get something different to eat than the parents, I couldn't agree more.
A practicing attorney he also is well versed and certified when it comes to Spanish wine and Sake while most interestingly, is a board member of the Drink Local Wine organization. Drink Local has a singular purpose, to provide a set of resources for people looking to drink wine (that we don't sell!) that doesn't come from the west coast.
I've expressed support for these type of sites and organizations before, only to have customers and readers ask "Why?" The answer is really simple, wine like food is best from local sources. Admittedly, a wine drinker who starts drinking $10 local wine often times grows into someone who wants single vineyard, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir as well-at least to try and we're frankly a really good source for that. That's just to say that these type of organizations help to grow the industry and some of my own favorite tasting experiences have taken place well outside of Napa Valley, like Wilcox Arizona where I found a group of established, interesting, insightful and exceedingly gracious vintners making wine better than anyone in California might otherwise give them credit for.
I also think these organizations say something important about the wine industry in general. In France there are stringent laws, rules and regulations about what grapes can be planted in each region and what wines can be made (and even how they can be made). That lack of experimentation and improvement has allowed California to grab a dramatic amount of market share in little less than a generation. New wine regions will continue to push local vintners here in California to not only keep prices reasonable (a very real concern when it comes to not only Cabernet Sauvignon but Chardonnay and Pinto Noir as well) but continue to try new grapes, new planting locations and generally speaking to not rest of their laurels.
Just like direct shipping in Massachusetts, competition from new and lesser known wine regions should help everyone continue to grow this industry over the long term.

OK, apologies to everyone for that.
iShares has just listed an ETF that tracks mortgage backed securities with ticker MBB.
I just found out this ETF a few minutes ago so I don't know much about it. It obviously has merit at different points in the interest cycle and pre-payment would not seem to be an issue like with individual GNMA pools (but we'll see if that is right or not).
I also wonder if there will be utility in tracking the spread between this ETF and one of the treasury products.

Sure is hard to keep up with all the new products - good catch, but no style points for the jingle, LOL! MBB is worth keeping an eye on, depending on what happens to rates down the road.

There is something very wrong about the issuance of all these ETFs. It resembles the last days of the S&L collapse when a bank that was teetering on the brink of collapse offered the bank's own higher interest paying non-FDIC insured bonds to depositors with maturing FDIC insured CDs. Depositors were deceptively assured that FDIC insurance was not necessary based on the representation that their bank wouldn't fail.
Today everyone is being encouraged to buy ETFs in lieu of stocks, bonds, currencies, etc. But, there is no custodial insurance as there is if a bank or broker should fail. How do we know the custodians of these ETF funds are substantial enough not to fail. If they fail, what happens to the ETF and those who own its shares? Does the ETF lose all its value as an ETF and become part of the estate in bankruptcy? - 12:38 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
I don't think it is anything like the S&L crisis. When a new fund lists it is seeded with a couple of $ million from the fund company and they buy the stocks in the index. From there assets either come in or they don't.
The total dollars in ETFs is about the same as the market cap of XOM with what I believe is 2/3 of those assets being in Barclays and State Street, reasonable I think that neither will fail and loot the funds on the way down.
The rest of the providers are too small to domino in the way you fear but candidly there is no talking someone down off of a position like the one you are taking.
You clearly should not own ETFs but why aren't you concerned with the $10 trillion in mutual funds? - 12:50 PM

Back in the late 1960's one of LBJ's campaign financial guys looted a mutual fund and ran off to Cuba with the dough. I forget his name, he had a very colorful, criminal sounding name. Castro offered him asylum. He may sill be there, if he is still alive.
Afterwards, laws where passed to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. One was the separation of the financial advisors and the actual possession of the fund's assets. I believe the asset holder is always a bank, called the "custodian" in the prospectus.
How this works with a ETF, I don't know. I would assume it's somewhat similar, ETF's are mutual funds, after all.
This, from The Investment Company Institute, the mutual funds industry group:
Protecting Investors: Not only are mutual funds subject to compliance with their self-imposed restrictions and limitations, they are also highly regulated by the federal government through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As part of this government regulation, all funds must meet certain operating standards, observe strict antifraud rules, and disclose complete information to current and potential investors. These laws are strictly enforced and designed to protect investors from fraud and abuse. - 4:34 PM

Check this out. This is the 2nd time I've seen Google Finance do this.
MBB Industries, not the bond ETF. - 6:37 PM

"Today everyone is being encouraged to buy ETFs in lieu of stocks, bonds, currencies, etc."
Actually, that's flat out not true. The only writer I really see recommend ETFs might be Timothy Middleton on Moneycentral. Look at Nusbaum's writings on Realmoney - he doesn't even outright recommend them. Almost every writer specifically points out the negative - that you have to pay a commission every time you buy an ETF. - 6:43 PM

Rydex is coming out with a managed
futures product.
Jay Charles
"the latest entry comes from Rydex, which is in the process of launching a new managed futures mutual fund focused on commodities and currencies markets. The fund – named, simply, the Managed Futures Fund – will track the performance of Standard and Poor's Diversified Trends Indicator (S&P DTI), a simple index that applies a momentum strategy to alternative assets.
The DTI methodology is simple. First, it divides its exposure to 50 percent financials (currencies and bonds) and 50 percent commodities. Then, within each category, it goes long- or short different products based on momentum trends: if prices are heading up, it goes long; if prices are heading down, it goes short. The result is a portfolio that has, historically, had a low correlation to stocks, providing fairly steady returns without the large-scale draw-downs that afflict both equity and commodity positions." - 6:37 AM
- Joel said...
There is a problem with many ETFs and I believe there is also a similar problem with many mutual funds, which is that a buyer doesn't know the real risk he/she is buying.
There was a time when a fund's performance was achieved primarily through holdings of stocks, bonds and options.
Today, many ETFs start off with a couple of million dollars in seed money and hope to attract a few hundred million by performing in the manner they in which they are represented. They probably use exotic derivatives to achieve such desired performance. Thus, these are mini hedge funds.
Because the risk includes the risk on derivatives, if the derivative fails, there may not be any opportunity to exit a winning trade with an expected profit or a losing trade within the limits of a stop loss. A failed derivative can create a liability that will exceed the assets of the fund. - 9:01 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
are you saying the funds are mis-representing what they own?
If so do you have some evidence? - 9:05 AM
- Joel said...
I make no claim of misrepresentation. I am relying on representations. For example, in the post above mine there is a reference to a new Rydex futures fund that "...within each category, it goes long- or short different products based on momentum trends..." This is in effect a representation that derivatives are used.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
OK, I'm with you now-the commodity funds.
They are all fully collateralized with cash. If they were not collateralized I would give greater weight to what you are saying but if one spends $5000 on $100,000 worth of a commodity contract and puts the other $95,000 in the account with the contract I don;t see the problem.
That is what the funds do.
You can only lose more than you put up when you are on margin. - 9:29 AM
- Joel said...
Not to be argumentative here, but my comment that ETFs use derivatives has much broaderapplication that to just some commodity funds. Here is the published profile for SDS: "The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The fund will take positions in financial instruments (including derivatives) have similar daily return characteristics as twice the inverse performance of the S&P 500 Index. It will employ leveraged investment techniques to achieve the objective. The fund is nondiversified".
If it is not an imposition, would you indicate what you mean when you state that the derivatives are "fully collateralized." I really do not know, because I have never operated in your business. - 12:34 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i don't know every last detail so you may want to research elsewhere to the extent you care about exact mechanics.
One futures contract can be purchased for something like 5% margin (anyone feel free to give the correct number if I am wrong. So for example $7000 might be able to control one S&P contract which is worth $140,000. If you have the other $133,000 in the account with the one contract you are not really on margin, not conceptually any way.
The ETFs you seem to concerned with are 90-95% invested in t-bills with the rest in futures contracts that allow them to create whatever exposure they are supposed to have. - 2:20 PM
- Market Participant said...
The MBB etf is weak because it is dominated by various passive RMBS investor REITs such as CMO,MFA,ANH,NLY.
In the long run, the reason to invest in RMBS is that you capture the time value of the embedded call option in the mortgage. That's why RMBS tend to yeild ~1%-2% more than treasuries with equal credit risk. - 3:43 PM

My daughter, home from college, made the dish and it was fantastic! We substituted canned San Marzano tomatoes, but it was delicious! Great recipe and so fresh.
This was wonderful. I loved how creamy it was without the addition of cream! I had tons of grape tomatoes to use so I didn't boil and skin them.

•A marker
•Hot glue gun
Step 2: Prepare the Box
It works pretty well... If your movie doesn't have subtitles. If your movie has subtitles, you better be able to understand the language without them! It is pretty hard to read in mirror.
Can someone who tried this and got at least a decent picture quality please let me know what strength their magnifying glass was. Thanks
I wonder if a shipping/poster tube would work? Try and focus as much of that photon goodness in to a smaller area. Maybe i'll give it a trt since I tend to watch videos on my phone before bed now.
I tried it just by holding lenses before the phone and increasing the brightness of the phone to max! If you use a video player that allows you to increase the phone brightness beyond the 100% (like QQplayer for android) one can achieve even more brightness than 100% while watching the video. It works perfect!
Pretty good images with low light and at extra large magnification.....
Thanks for the idea pal I loved it and will make a box!!
I can now watch stuff at night without a TV. IN MY ROOM! :D
Long story short: build it and see. The darker the room the better, but that is true of nearly any projection display.

50 Movie Bad Guys (With A Couple Ladies)
Note: Full-res version HERE and a cheat-sheet for your low-down dirty cheaters HERE.
This is a stylized portrait of 50 notable bad guys throughout movie history by artist Robert Ball. I'd argue that some of them aren't so much bad as they are just misunderstood, but I'd say the same thing about myself despite the majority of friends agreeing I'm "a real jerk". As opposed to what, you stupid kegels -- a "fake" jerk? I swear, I really need to stop hanging out with these morons.
Fifty Baddies [drawtheline] (Robert's Website)
Giclée Print of the Day [thedailywh.at]
Thanks to adrian and Romeo, who agree "bad" is relative. Wait -- like uncles and cousins?!
This is baby Magneto as imagined by artist Victor Hugo in the style of a Pixar movie (read: Toy Story). He looks...evil. Like the kind of kid your mom would make you go play with even though you don't like him and he's always doing really creepy shit like pulling the legs off... / Continue →
This are two drawings by artist Jake Parker showing the imagined anatomy of Lightning Steve McQueen and his low-level IQ tow truck buddy, uh...what's his name? *IMDB's* Mater, his name's Mater. God, why did I even bother looking that up? Also, not to nit-pick or anything, b... / Continue →
