Since the mid 1990s, over 100 nationalities have been drawn to Dublin UNESCO City of Literature. This diverse multicultural society has enriched Dublin's literature with multicultural books and new cultural influences which have been embraced with enthusiasm by Dubliners. Multicultural literature and multicultural society is very active in Dublin's creative community.
Significant actions and outcomes have resulted, some of which include:
- Women Writers in the New Ireland (WWINI), an initiative aimed at facilitating creative dialogue between women writers from migrant and multicultural communities.
- The New Faces New Voices programme of creative writing workshops exploring the richness of cross-cultural experience and multicultural society organised by Dublin City Libraries and aimed at Dublin residents whose first language is not English.
- The establishment in 2000 of the Dublin based Metro Eireann, a weekly multicultural newspaper. Roddy Doyle, one of Dublin's Man Booker prize winners, regularly contributes stories about members of the city's new immigrant communities.
- The establishment by Dublin City Council of the Office for Integration which takes an active role in promoting the participation of immigrant communities in the cultural life of the city.
- The presentation to Dublin City Libraries of a prestigious Metro Eireann Media & Multicultural Award (MAMA) for their 2008 Many Faces, Many Places inter-cultural programme of activities for children, many of which had a strong literary focus.
- The publication by iBbY Ireland of Changing Faces – Changing Places, designed to help Irish and immigrant children under-stand other cultures and to provide children of mixed cultural backgrounds with a range of literature with which they can identify.
- The founding of the Ireland-Poland Cultural Foundation, the patron of which is Dublin-based poet Seamus Heaney, and which represents one of the largest immigrant groups in the city.

Cash raised on Annual Honour Dog Walk in memory of soldiers, Capt Tom Sawyer, Cpl Chris Harrison and Pte Tom Lake, handed to Royal British Legion
8:56am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Frazer Ansell
Volunteers who joined the families of Capt Tom Sawyer, Cpl Chris Harrison and Pte Tom Lake on the Honour Dog Walk in November 2013, gathered at the Royal British Legion in Croxley Green to hand over funds raised in their memory.
All three soldiers were killed in action in Afghanistan and their parents, Sue and Martyn Sawyer, Gill and Martin Harrison and Carol Lake, having met through their losses, decided that as their sons all had a love of dogs, an annual fundraising dog walk in their memory would be a fitting tribute.
This year's walk attracted more than 30 dogs and 50 owners.
This was the third Annual Honour Dog Walk and the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal benefited to the tune of £1,632.
The three families thanked all those who joined the walk and helped to make it such a success.
Capt Sawyer's father, Martyn said: "While it is brilliant to raise so much for such a good cause, the overriding purpose of the annual event is to honour and remember three local lads who gave their lives for their country."
The next Honour Dog Walk will take place on the Sunday prior to Remembrance Sunday.

Litratong Pinoy : Love { Pagmamahal }Posted on Jan 26, 2012 under litratong pinoy | 4 Comments
Finally! I'm joining again this week after a long time of being offline due to some inevitable circumstances. Lol! Anyways, let's go down with my entry for this week.
I posted this on my one of my blog here and thought of posting this here and share to it all Litratong Pinoy participants.
My entry was taken last Christmas while we stayed for 2 days in my mom's house. My mom was carrying Zack on her lap when I thought of taking them a photo. My mom didn't know that I was about to click the camera for my purpose was to get a candid shot. But here's what I got…
~ A Grandmother's Love ~
So pure, so unconditional and unending…
Moments like this are definitely worth cherishing.

Will the world be facing a severe food shortage within the next few decades? According to a number of scientific studies, the answer is quite likely yes, unless conservation measures can be taken to reverse the over-pumping of groundwater. Much of the world food supply is grown by using groundwater for irrigation. Worldwide, aquifer levels are dropping rapidly because far more water is being withdrawn from them than rain and snow can replace. The highest rates of groundwater loss occur in China, India, California's Central Valley, and the southern high plains areas of Western Kansas and the Texas Panhandle.
A University of Texas study published in May, 2012, indicates that groundwater depletion in the high plains and in California's Central Valley threaten to cripple agricultural production in two of America's most important food producing regions. Between 2006 and 2009, farmers in the Central Valley pumped out enough groundwater to fill Lake Mead, or approximately 8 trillion gallons (approximately 25 billion cubic meters). This rate of withdrawal far exceeds nature's recharge rate. As a consequence, the water level in the underlying Central Valley Aquifer System has dropped 400 feet (120 meters) since the first half of the 20th Century.
The high plains states of South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas draw water from the huge Ogallala Aquifer. However, crop irrigation in the Texas Panhandle and Western Kansas, only 4% of the total high plains land area, accounts for one third of the aquifers water depletion. Since 1950, the level of the Ogallala has dropped 300 feet (90 meters). At the present rate of withdrawal, and with a low rate of replenishment due to local dry conditions, the southern high plains will not have enough water to support agriculture within 30 years.
The high plains and the Central Valley account for the much of the nation's food supply, producing fruits, vegetables, and grains worth $57 billion annually.
Worldwide groundwater depletion rose 230% from 33 trillion gallons (126 billion cubic meters) a year In 1960, to 75 trillion gallons (283 billion cubic meters) a year in 2000. With global warming bringing longer and hotter drought periods, the natural recharge rate is expected to keep dropping, along with the water levels in the underground aquifers. 70% of groundwater withdrawal is used to irrigate crops. One simple way to conserve water is the use of drip irrigation instead of the flooding method presently used by many farmers. Unless such strict groundwater conservation methods are strictly adhered to by farmers everywhere, world food supply will decline while world population continues to expand, creating an inevitable food shortage crisis.

Brinberg, who performed in numerous concerts with the A Chorus Line composer, will offer some Hamlisch rarities, including songs from The Fan and Imaginary Friends, as well as songs of his that Streisand made famous.
Brinberg follows Birdland with a run in London at the Crazy Coqs cabaret in Piccadilly Circus, Oct. 1-5.

Just after the Washington Demos, the NY Times, Washington Post, and many other mainstream media outlets did "evaluative" pieces on the events. The Seattle and DC demonstrators don't know what they want. The activists offer nothing beyond capitalism. The pundits sought to de-legitimate dissent, of course, but unfortunately that doesn't falsify their observation.
A couple of weeks ago, diverse local leftists gathered in
- Activists discussing prisons and police repression rarely explain how the problems of crime, anti-social behavior, adjudication, and incarceration ought to be dealt with differently.
- Activists lamenting subordination of women to men and violations of women's dignity, safety, or security rarely explain how socialization and nurturance could promote gender justice rather than gender hierarchy.
- Activists rejecting racism rarely reveal how race relations could/should be differently organized to honor diversity rather than subordinate some for the gain of others.
- Activists decrying poverty, alienation, and economic powerlessness rarely elaborate how production, consumption, and allocation could/should advance values we hold dear rather than subordinate most to the very few.
In other words, regardless of venue, activists rarely put forth even the barest hints of a vision, much less a compelling, well-worked out formulation that could inform strategy and provide hope and orientation.
And more, not only isn't there a widely-shared flexible and adaptable vision of what we are fighting for, for the critical sides of life we care about, for the most part there isn't even debate about such a thing, nor disagreement over it, nor notions bearing on it – beyond at most a very few folks. I live in the
We need to face facts:
(1) Critics of existing social relations most often lack shared aims for alternative social institutions beyond short-term reforms (and often we lack even that much).
(2) Even when there are attempts to get leftists to take this problem seriously, little happens. Even if there is an exemplary effort, as in the
Ask any average person what critics of male supremacy, racism, ageism, authoritarianism, capitalism, heterosexism, ecological destruction, or war want in the way of new institutions that would structurally ensure better outcomes, and you will get blank stares. Ask a leftist the same question, and when you pare away the admittedly admirable but nonetheless unsubstantial rhetoric, you won't get much more. In my experience this is widely true in the
Looking at it from the point of view of ideologies, if we discount attachments to dead visions that have been tried and failed, absence of serious shared vision also typifies socialists, anarchists, greens, feminists, nationalists, anti-imperialists, health activists, education activists, and pretty much any other left constituency you want to name, it seems to me.
Am I obsessing?
Am I exaggerating?
Have I lost perspective?
Maybe the above tirade is somewhat over stated due to obsession, exaggeration, or loss of perspective…but still, isn't the near universal absence of compelling shared social activist vision a clear-cut case of collective failure shrouded in mutually reinforcing self-denial? Regarding vision, are we any less naked then the fabled emperor? And are we any less oblivious to our uncovered state than he was, in the fable.
How can we organize our efforts to accord with our aims if we don't have aims? How can we choose our campaigns and demands to lead to aims we don't have? How can we discern problems by their contrast to aims we don't have? How can we sustain our hope much less inspire hope in others by the light of aims we don't have? We can't.
Among some, I should note, there is a rumor that aimlessness is somehow anarchist or otherwise a step forward. But aimlessness is the antithesis of the anarchist priority to modulate process to fit goals, and is certainly not a virtue.
Is aimlessness the only problem on the left?
No. Not at all. We have lots of other problems. For example:
· We don't build movements that retain people as well as they ought to, largely because our movements don't meet enough of people's needs to sustain their continued involvement.
· We don't build movements that are sufficiently welcoming and empowering to diverse constituencies to attract and hold them, particularly working people, largely because our movements tend to ignore and even denigrate working class norms, values, and culture.
· We don't handle money well: not only do we not have enough, but we also hide from the difficulties that money raising imposes and we share what exists insufficiently.
· We have made considerable important progress on being multi-issue, multi-tactic, and mutually supportive, yes, but we have more ground to cover.
And of course these and many other ills deserve attention at least as much as aimlessness does. But still, the ill of aimlessness is certainly also quite important, even if not singularly so.
Does our gaping absence of aims imply that every person on the left should concern themselves with generating proposed vision about some important side of life?
No. Of course not. But it surely implies that quite a few folks ought to do so, and that pretty much everyone else on the left ought to critically support the effort, trying to push whatever is proposed toward relevance, coherence, clarity, acceptability, and toward being convincing.
Consider any group of leftists you want. The core organizers on a campus or in a city, say, or the central figures across the country — writers, speakers, organizers, organizational staff and leaders or whoever else — and send them all a letter asking for their vision and their aims, or send them an invitation to do a panel at a conference about vision, or to give a talk in some public venue about structural institutional goals – whether economic, political, social, or cultural — and you will get back next to nothing of substantive relevance to the request, as in Chicago, mentioned earlier. Make the invitation even more explicit and simpler. Ask for how they would answer a normal citizen wondering what the hell demonstrators want in the way of new, seriously different institutional relations, whether about race, gender, power, economy, or whatever else, and still you will get almost nothing. In fact, it's a good bet that those who do answer will more likely provide analysis of what is wrong than provide long-term vision anyone else explicitly shares.
Even if this bald and extreme prediction is false, which I doubt, it is not so far from true as to negate the underlying concern. It would be bad enough if we asked, "what do you want?" to hundreds of leftists and got back dozens of coherent formulations, each different and in their own language. That wouldn't be useful diversity for a movement to have, but at least it wouldn't be a yawning emptiness, and it might lead toward shared aims.
But in fact, regarding vision, the pundits are largely right.
A yawning emptiness is what we now have.

Jester King Gotlandsdricka 750ml bottled poured into 1 liter Hofbrau stein. This beer is the result of research into the types of beer that the Vikings might have brewed. Jester King presents their interpretation.
Appearance: Hazy straw yellow color. Thick and fluffy two-finger head.
Aroma: Starts off with an spicy, herbal, and earthy aroma. It develops into fresh cut grass and lemon . Finally, it transforms into a type of berry (juniper?) with a touch of smoked malts.
Taste: It is like delicious, smoked ribs in liquid form. A strange type of bitterness that is hop-like in nature, but tastes as though it comes from a different source. Not unpleasant, but just different. I believe the "sweet gale" ingredient may play a role in that.
Mouthfeel: Very dry from start to finish. This is a highly carbonated beer, probably being the 1st or 2nd most carbonated beer I've ever had. Body is creamy and full with a chewy finish.
Overall: Definitely an intriguing beer. This will pair amazing with some BBQ and/or smoked rack of ribs. Will definitely buy again when I get the urge to pillage a neighboring city.

I knew once I saw the label on this beer, as happens with every Jester King offering I see, that I'd have to get it. It caught my eye, the evil-looking Viking, so I took a closer look. I was curious of what the style of beer it was. But while the label explains what the beer is like, it doesn't say what it is. That intrigued me further. I have to say, Gotlandsdricka did not disappoint.
If I could best describe the look (and other qualities) of Gotlandsdricka, it'd be that it looks similar to a Belgian golden ale. It has a bright golden color, is cloudy, and produces a fine bubbly and frothy white head. Lacing was not present.
A nice toasted breadiness hits the nose first. It's moderately smoky, just right so that it doesn't mask any other aromatic characteristics. That plus the juniper/gale gives the smell an earthiness. The juniper/gale, and I should say that I can only guess at the characteristics of the gale since this is the first beer I've had that uses it, add a peppery, coniferous spice, not to be confused with the pine resin-like coniferous character present in most pale ales. The farmhouse yeast keeps the beer seeming like a Belgian golden to me. I get a bit of lemon zest in there too.
The taste is much like the smell. Right off the bat there's the toasty light malts with the juniper/gale spiciness following. The smokiness, what Jester King told me via Twitter is birchwood-smoked malt, comes right after, blending in with the toasty malt and spiciness so that you get a nice variety of flavors one after the other but all in harmony. There's an excellent grassy sugar sweetness throughout too that balances perfectly with the rest. Once I let Gotlandsdricka warm up a little, I was greeted with an incredibly well-balanced beer. It's sweet, smoky, spicy, and none of it overpowers the others. This is definitely an interesting beer to the taste buds.
Gotlandsdricka is also very drinkable, lighter in body, and has a nice medium carbonation. It's smooth as silk going down.
I definitely recommend this to anyone. Jester King says it's giving the beer "additional fermentation with wild yeast and souring bacteria. We presently have a version of Gotlandsdricka that we inoculated with wild yeast and bacteria aging in oak barrels." I can't wait!

A-pours a straw orange color with a huge head that overflows
S-lots of smokey wood up front with some berry and pine
T-smoke flavor up front but not very intimidating. I honestly am not a big fan of this style but I do enjoy this beer. Slightly funky with a bitter juniper berry preesence with some resin in the background,
M-heavy carbonation with a heavy body...blends. Slightly odd with the smoke.
O-a very nice take on the smoked beer style but a little more sweetness would balance this one out better and it is rather bitter.

The World > Asia > Myanmar - Burma
Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, also known as the Golden Rock Pagoda, is located on top of Kyaikhtiyo Hill at about 3,600 Feet ( 1,100 meters ) above sea level in Mon State. The distance from Yangon via Bago is approximately 130 miles ( 210 km ). The Pagoda was built over a hair relic , more than 2,500 years ago , in the life time of Buddha. Legend has it that the hair relic was given to a hermit by Buddha himself. The hermit treasured the sacred hair in his hair knot until he found a boulder resembling his own head on which he could build a Pagoda to enshrine it. Although small in size ( The height of the Pagoda is 22'-8" or 6.9 meters , and that of the boulder on which the Pagoda was built is 22' or 6.7 meters ) it is one of the most revered and celebrated Pagodas in Myanmar. It could be qualified as one of the wonders of the world by virtue of the fact that it sits uniquely at the apex of a huge, almost egg shape granite boulder. This boulder ( now completely gilded ) is precariously perched on a projecting tabular rock. The gilded boulder and the rock table are two separate pieces, the boulder actually balancing off the extreme verge of the sloping surface of the rock and overhanging it by nearly half its length. The slope drops down perpendicularly into a valley below. On the other side the rock table is separated several feet from the rest of the hill by a deep chasm, now appended by a small bridge. By gently rocking the boulder a thread could be passed through between it and the rock table. When viewed from a certain angle, this separation can be appreciated by virtue of a thin beam of day light shining through. It is not known what freakish law has kept the boulder in its precarious position for many centuries and despite several violent earthquakes. Pilgrims used to trek 12 km up Mt Kyaikhtiyo from a base camp at Kinmon which consists largely of guesthouses, places to eat and souvenir shops. But in 1999 a paved mountain road linking the base camp and Ya-the-taung camp ( now bus station ) on the hill was built, thus leaving only 1.2 km hike to the Golden Rock. Most of the tourists coming to Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda use network of many kilometers of foot trails to go other parts of the mountains where there are other smaller lately built temples and pagodas, and many good vintage locations for photographing. Now there are a couple of decent hotels on the mountains within 3 km distance of Kyaikhtiyo pagoda serving local as well as international tourists.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Seeing Vertical get into shojo was a bit of a surprise. Princess Knight, a Tezuka classic, was a highly demanded piece of work from the Tezuka fan-base that Vertical has cultured, so it wasn't a surprise to see that published, but Limit is arguably their first attempt to break into a vampires, glitter, and flowers market (I say this endearingly, since the majority of manga I read is shojo).
Please note that this review may contain spoilers. Find out how to win the first two volumes of the series here!
Despite the genre it has been lumped into, Limit certainly follows Vertical's edgy, indie ethos. The story follows Mizuki Konno, a self-described "popular girl" who hangs with the right people in school and does the right things to stay popular. On the outside, she is bubbly, careless, but cute, hiding a calculating and stone-cold personality. Her clique picks on a few people, but none more than Morishige, a tarot otaku, making her the brunt of jokes and putting her in situations that embarrass her. The beginning of the book is very Mean Girls, but things suddenly change when the school trip to a week-long camp-out crashes deep into the Japanese forest. Suddenly, the matriarch of Konno's clan is dead, and the girl at the bottom of the heap, Morishge, now controls the group of survivors with social manipulation and by wielding a scythe (a "tool" brought a long to the camp to cut long grass).
The power twist and destruction of social order in Limit is very reminiscent of Lord of the Flies. Controlling the one weapon gives Morishige all the power, and her rage at being tormented by her peers corrupts her decision-making. There are survival things going on here too, like catching fish and collecting other food, but the real action is Morishige's maniacal leadership. Seeing how Konno and the other girls in the group react to Morishige is the strength of Limit, and its real draw for me in future volumes (plus a major plot twist I won't reveal here at the end of volume 2).
Keiko Suenobu has had another piece of work published in the USA (Life, which was published in 2006 by TOKYOPOP) and her art seems to have improved substantially since that time. Limit is gorgeous. Great shading, dynamic panels, and some of the best power and action lines I've seen in shojo manga (or any manga for that matter) to date. Suenobu's characters are well drawn and well conceived. Morishige as a tarot otaku is a great touch in the middle of volume one; the creepiness of the girl sitting in the middle of a pentagram performing tarot ritual is almost unbearable after seeing some of the proceeding scenes.
One thing that I don't understand about Limit is its proposed audience. While Vertical claims it is a shojo manga (Limit was published in Bessatsu Friend a manga anthology for teenage girls, and the original publication place of The Wallflower, My Heavenly Hockey Club, Othello, and Mars) it doesn't seem to fall in line with any of the shojo trends that are currently popular. This doesn't mean it's not good manga, just that I find it hard to accept that the target age group is going to really dig Limit. I expect that Limit is more likely to be read by horror fans, josei/seinen fans, and less by those looking for a standard rom-com.
For my money, Limit is one of the better series released in 2012. It has amazing art, really interesting social power interactions, and a riveting storyline. 2013 is going to be a great year of manga because of Limit.
For Fans Of: The Lord of the Flies, Mean Girls, revenge thrillers, any survival story ever
Final Verdict: Highly Recommended

LITTLETON, Colo. —
Call them Panera voters, a wide swath of caramel-latte-swilling, hormone-free-chicken-munching, WiFi-surfing suburban voters in a few swing states who have experienced the economic crisis mostly as anxiety, rather than panic.
They still eat out, but they don't eat junk food, and they are looking for a bargain. On any given day, they can be found flipping open their laptops alongside their roasted artichoke turkey paninis and bowls of French onion soup at Panera cafes that have emerged all across the country as a cultural and consumer touchstone of the new suburbia.
The St. Louis-based Panera Bread is a burgeoning part of the restaurant sector called fast-casual, which has boomed during the economic downturn as people sought to find quality for less. Like these suburban voters themselves, Panera has proven somewhat recession-proof, opening nearly 300 cafes since the end of 2008, including 50 in the battleground states of Virginia, Ohio, Florida and Colorado.
The chain has thrived on the idea that despite the recession, plenty of people are still able to pay $8 for the right kind of sandwich in warm, inviting surroundings.
People who study suburban voting patterns say change has made these areas more fluid in their political allegiances. These voters are more highly educated than average and influenced by their communities' growing diversity, a mixing of people that came with the last economic boom, as newcomers from cities pressed farther out into what was once the countryside and, in some areas, were lured from overseas by new jobs.
"These communities are places where you start to see the city gather," said Robert Lang, a demographer and professor of sociology at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. "It's where the highways go from four to six lanes. . . . If there's a giant movie theater with 14 theaters and cars wrapped around it, that used to be a solid space for Republicans. Not anymore, and that's what's different."

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A major winter storm will be impacting the Coulee Region this week. La Crosse could pick up anywhere from 5" to 10" inches of snow with higher accumulation possible to the east. Strong northwesterly winds will compound on the situation leading to blowing snow and possible white-out conditions.
With potentially dangerous conditions looming in the near future, now is the time to prepare.
Bring your pets inside. Livestock should be moved into sheltered areas with access to fresh water that will not freeze.
In the home, make sure you have plenty of food, water, and warm clothing. Have several days' worth of necessary medications on hand (take these with you if you have to travel!) and remember that if the electricity goes out it is dangerous to use fuel-burning heaters, grills, or generators indoors. These devices can cause deadly levels of carbon monoxide in unventilated areas.
Make sure your car has an emergency supply kit that contains plenty of food, water, and blankets. Travel with a shovel and some sand or kitty litter and have a battery powered weather radio, flashlight, and first aid kit. If at all possible, don't take the chance and avoid travel all together.
And last, but certainly not least, stay informed! On the WXOW homepage you can sign up for text alerts for school closings, severe weather alerts, monitor road conditions, and find the latest forecast information. Updates will also be posted on the WXOW facebook page and twitter feed and viewer pictures and reports are encouraged!
The new WXOW Weather App is another fantastic resource for staying up-to-date on the latest weather conditions. It's the only local weather app in the Coulee Region and has one of the best radar features on the market! It also has current conditions, extended forecasts, severe weather alerts, and best of all, it's free!

Even though I never watched The Sopranos, last month's shocking death of James Gandolfini grabbed my attention and it seems like I've been reading every article about it. I'm haunted by the image of a 13-year-old boy on a vacation alone with his famous father, finding his dad down and fighting for every breath. And the thought of the 9-month-old and young wife at home, grieving his death, pierces my soul.

Infinitely programmable for brightness (up to 10 different levels in 4 different programs). Produces a heck of a lot of light if needed (335 lumens). It is way more powerful, lasts longer and is half the weight of my wide angle petzl.

Rechargeable battery can be recharged an estimated 300 times. That equivalent to hundreds of alkaline batteries.

Ok im going to keep it short and sweet. Yes Mike Vick did do wrong but he served his time. Theres nothing he can do to ever make up what he did but at the same time nothing will ever remove the label of Mike Vick the Animal Hater. I love Mike and I think he is another great athlete that made a mistake. At least he wasn't on steroids. I honestly feel as if Mike Vick will take this as a lessoned learned and will never make a mistake like that again. Put yourself in his shoes, one day you have it all living on top of the world and just like that, BAM, u lose. You find yourself in a jail cell with none of life luxuries. Not knowing how your family is eating. Give him another chance before you say he is evil . He made this mistake but what else did he do Did he have a criminal record before this Just please if you feel me when i say LET VICK PLAY then plz sign my petition. Tell your friends, family, and loved ones to sign it and help VICK play again... Thank You.

2003 Merlot
"$70 Every wine tells a story. Michael Polenske's Blackbird Vineyard tells a story you've probably heard before. The grapes grown on the property have been sold to Behrens & Hitchcock, Lail, Shafer, Pride and Robert Foley Vineyards in the past, as well as to Mia Klein's private label, Selene, with a Blackbird Vineyard designated label. Sarah Gott shines as Polenske's winemaker of choice. She left Joseph Phelps and Quintessa to make a splash in a few smaller ponds. (She also makes the following wine). It is with wines like this that we never question why we are in this business."
Sommscore: 95
AROMA dark cherry, slate, mineral, licorice 14
"Heady aromas of dark cherry, a slate/lead minerality and a hint of anise introduce this brooding monster. Medium-bodied, the palate exhibits a great texture of medium tannins, with notes of red licorice, fennel and red cherry. Definitely not a cocktail wine, this Merlot blossomed with food, revealing its complexity and richness. While the wine opened up in the glass, five to ten years in the cellar will reward you with an exemplary drink."
98 Points
"There's rare, and then there's really rare... The stunning debut of Blackbird Vineyards"
"Beginning in 1999, Mia Klein, owner and winemaker of Selene Winery introduced a vineyard designate Merlot from Blackbird Vineyards, south of Yountville. This bottling quickly gained wide acclaim among the trade and I noted the 1999 vintage (95 points) as my recommendation over the much heralded 2001 Paloma Merlot (Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year in 2003). I very quietly sold dozens of cases of Selene's Blackbird to my clients who wanted to know what I was so excited about. It wasn't long until the mere mention of Blackbird stopped people in their tracks. It was the best Merlot nobody had ever heard of.
In 2003, the vineyard changed hands. While most of the fruit that year went to Shafer, Behrens & Hitchcock, Viader, and Lail, new owner Michael Polenske and winemaker Sarah Gott carved out a miniscule amount of fruit to begin his legacy. This wine not only follows in the footsteps of the string of the superb Blackbird Vineyards Merlot made by Klein, it sets a new standard unsurprisingly from the same source. An important note here is that as great as the Selene Blackbird was, it only contained 55% of Blackbird fruit. The 2003 is sourced 100% from the vineyard.
Michael and I tasted his 2003 Blackbird last Friday at my office in St. Helena, and I was left with an extremely solid impression of 94 + points. When finished with our meeting, I put the cork back in the bottle and left it on my desk to revisit Monday. The evolution left me speechless..."

[StateCollege.com] Penn State's Coaches Caravan kicks off Monday with a pair of events in the Philadelphia area. It is the first of 18 stops across seven states, spread out over the next three weeks.
Football coach Bill O'Brien will be joined by scores of other Penn State coaches along the way, touring various alumni hotbeds to meet them, greet them and, yes, solicit Nittany Lion Club memberships and season ticket sales.
B.O.B confirmed at their first stop in Philly that the team will sing the alma mater after home games. A fan also asked what he predicted the 2012 season to be and he answered, "We have 12 one game seasons." I love this guy already. Starting new traditions, respecting the old. He has a good mix of being open with the public and keeping things that are personal to the team private. He's getting his face out there and letting people get to know him, which is going to be great for the program and recruiting.
Chambers also announced that the team will play La Salle in the Palestra next year. He's really trying to get the PSU basketball program out there in the city and this is another step in the right direction. He has already grabbed Brandon Austin (4 star 2013 commit) and D.J. Newbill (transfer from Miss. St) from Philly.

Fantasy spins: Backup QBs Orton, Carr and Anderson
The Cowboys, Giants and Panthers have their backup QBs in place, but should fantasy owners even care? William Del Pilar breaks it down.
Giants re-sign QB Carr
The Giants have re-signed QB David Carr, keeping Eli Manning's backup in place. Terms and conditions of the deal were not announced.

Giants QB Eli Manning missed part of Wednesday's practice with a "stomach bug."
Carr suddenly in mix for Niners' starting QB job

49ers head coach Mike Singletary confirmed Friday that QB Troy Smith will start Sunday's game against the Rams.
49ers QB Smith gets shoulder checked in London
49ers QB Alex Smith had his injured left shoulder checked at a London hospital on Monday morning and is still unsure if he can play against the Broncos at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Carr could compete for Niners' starting QB job
If newly acquired Niners QB David Carr looks clearly better than Alex Smith in training camp, we hear the team could end up seriously considering Carr for a starting role.
Report: 49ers sign QB Carr
The 49ers have reached a contract agreement with QB David Carr, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger is reporting, quoting Carr's agent, Mike Sullivan.
The Giants have re-signed Carr.||||||| Carr, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, will again back up Eli Manning, as he has for four of the last five seasons. The backup role is somewhat ceremonial for the Giants. Manning has started 135 consecutive regular-season games, a run that started in the second half of the 2004 season.
Carr and the Giants tentatively reached their agreement last week but needed time before announcing it. It is for one year, and $925,000.||||||| Carr was Manning's backup quarterback in 2008 and `09. He played in three games the first season and in six games in 2009 and in those two seasons, he completed 33 of 42 passes (78.6 percent) for 340 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
The 49ers have signed Carr to a two-year deal. General manager Scot McCloughan said Monday that Carr will help provide depth at quarterback.||||||| Coach Mike Singletary has repeatedly said 2005 No. 1 pick Alex Smith is the starter, but didn't rule out signing an experienced quarterback who could push Smith and challenge for playing time. Carr, an eight-year NFL veteran, was the top draft pick in 2002 out of Fresno State. He spent the past two seasons as a backup to Eli Manning with the New York Giants.
Carr arrived in the Bay Area on Friday to visit with the San Francisco 49ers.||||||| While coach Mike Singletary has repeatedly said 2005 No. 1 pick Alex Smith is his starter going forward, Singletary didn't rule out signing an experienced quarterback who could push Smith and challenge for playing time.
The New York Giants re-signed Carr to back up Eli Manning at quarterback on Monday.||||||| Carr, the first overall pick by Houston in 2002, its first season in the NFL, threw only 12 passes last season, completing nine for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Most of his action came in the final game of the season in Minnesota after the Giants already had clinched the NFC's top seed.

Red Sox intrigued by Smoltz
Veteran right-hander could provide Boston with rotation depth
Somehow, some folks have identified the relationship between the Red Sox and Braves as a rivalry, Interleague and otherwise. Perhaps it began with Tom Glavine-for-Jim Rice trade talks in the late 1980s. Or maybe it goes back to the days of Braves franchise operating in Beantown. Anyway, now comes this from the Sports Illustrated Web site, something that suggests real competition between the two franchises.
Quite understandable. The Sox have designs on another postseason push, and Smoltz is the quintessential postseason power pitcher.
The site notes Smoltz, who is 42, has resumed throwing off a mound after undergoing right shoulder surgery in June and could be a midseason addition to the Sox's rotation.
Smoltz is Braves lifer, and the Braves remain the favorites in any pursuit of him. But SI.com says the Sox have been told that they are "one of the very few places" he would pitch if he decides the Braves can't afford him a realistic shot at one more postseason.
Stranger things have happened. Tom Seaver pitching against the Mets, Glavine against the Braves and Steve Garvey playing against the Dodgers. And more thing: Wouldn't Glavine, the New Englander, be delighted? He'd temporarily lose a golfing partner but he could root for his buddy and the beloved Sox.

Fulton County commissioners are delaying a vote on whether to spend $5 million to fix hundreds of faulty locks at a county jail, saying sheriff's officials need to do a better job of supervising inmates.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the board voted Monday to postpone the decision until Dec. 5.
Jailers told the newspaper the locks are so shoddy that inmates can open cell doors, leading to attacks on staff and inmates.
The locks are so old they have been discontinued and replacement parts are no longer available.
A lawsuit over the jail's deteriorating conditions forced county officials to operate the jail under federal oversight. A consent order requires the jail's locks to be in working condition.
Commissioners voted to discuss the issue at a meeting on Dec. 5.
