The NFL playoff picture is now officially set following the New York Giants victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The final regular season game of the season was perhaps the most important of the day as the NFC East's playoff berth was up for grabs between the divisional rivals.
The Giants were able to hold off a second half comeback from the Cowboys, spurred by a pair of touchdowns from Tony Romo to Laurent Robinson, as running back Ahmad Bradshaw and Eli Manning led the way to a win. It's the Giants first playoff berth since the 2008 season, following a two-year drought despite winning eight and ten games respectively.
The final seeding for the NFC playoff picture ended up as such:
No. 1:Green Bay Packers
No. 2: San Francisco 49ers.
No. 3: New Orleans Saints
No. 4: New York Giants
No. 5: Atlanta Falcons
No. 6:Detroit Lions
The Giants will face the Atlanta Falcons at home on Sunday, Jan. 8, in a game scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. on Fox.
For more, SB Nation has everyone covered with an NFL playoff schedule for the Wild Card games as well as the divisional games the following weekend.

How You Can Introduce Others to Christ
How You Can Witness Effectively: The Means
Booklets like the Four Spiritual Laws are useful in a variety of situations.
We don't claim that the Four Spiritual Laws message is the only way to introduce others to Christ or even the best way. But we do know that literally millions of men and women have received Christ through the direct, simple presentation of the gospel contained in this booklet. According to our estimate, more than one billion copies have been distributed in all of the major languages of the world.
Misunderstanding Leads to Woman Accepting Christ
Many stories have come to my attention of the effectiveness of the Four Spiritual Laws. I'm thinking, for example, of a church whose senior pastor had come to our headquarters for training and was very excited about using the Four Spiritual Laws. He went back to share his enthusiasm with his church and with his assistant minister. The assistant was not impressed by the booklet. He disliked tracts, and this looked like just another tract. He tossed it on his desk, not even bothering to read it.
A few days later a city official came by to inspect the church facilities. As she was about to leave after her inspection it suddenly occurred to the assistant minister that he had not talked to her about Christ. He looked around quickly, and the only thing he saw was the Four Spiritual Laws booklet, which he had tossed aside in disgust some days previously. He gave it to her, saying, "Read this," meaning that she should read it when she got home.
She misunderstood, however, and began to read it aloud in his presence. She read every word, and by the time she got to Law Four, tears were streaming down her cheeks. She came to the prayer and prayed aloud, leading herself to Christ. By this time the assistant minister was so impressed that he came to Arrowhead Springs to find out for himself how he could be a more effective witness for Christ through training and the use of Four Spiritual Laws.
Booklet Melts Skepticism
Another heartwarming experience demonstrates the effectiveness of the booklet. A man, who was greatly admired in his home town, was not a Christian. In fact, he was known as the town skeptic because he never responded positively to the many who witnessed to him personally.
He had befriended the parents of a Christian friend who felt especially concerned for his salvation. After obtaining a Four Spiritual Laws booklet, this friend decided to call on the skeptic and read it to him. As he finished reading, he asked, "Does this make sense?"
The skeptic replied, "Yes, it does."
"Is there anything that would keep you from receiving Christ?"
"No," he said.
The two men then knelt together and prayed, and the "Skeptic" invited Christ into his life as his Savior and Lord.
When they arose, the friend was rejoicing with the man, who then stunned him with this question, "Is this what you and all the other Christians have been trying to tell me for years?"
"Well," continued this new brother in Christ, "why didn't you tell me? Any man would be a fool not to receive Christ if he really understood what is involved."
The gospel as contained in the Four Spiritual Laws booklet had cut right through the barrier of skepticism and indifference so that this man received the Lord Jesus.
Suggestions for Evangelism as a Lifestyle
Now, permit me to share several simple suggestions that will help you to introduce others to Christ as a way of life.
First, begin every day with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to empower and lead you to those whose hearts He has prepared.
Second, relate to people in a loving, natural, personal way. Avoid being mechanical. Everyone responds to love. As you walk in love, the Spirit of God will confirm to those with whom you are sharing Christ that you are genuine; that you are not simply trying to win an argument or promote a cause; and that you have taken time to talk to them because you truly love them with God's love.
Not everyone will be prepared to receive Christ or even be positive in his response. Some may even be antagonistic. God may want you to sow the seed to use you as an instrument of harvest. Whatever the case, relax and let Him do what He wants to do through you.
Remember, just as all fruit in an orchard is not ripe at the same time, so some individuals will be ripe for harvest and others will still be green - not yet ready to respond to the gospel. Consider every gospel conversation a great privilege and opportunity, not a legalistic responsibility. Think of God's great love, of what knowing Him has meant to you and what it will mean to others when they receive Christ. Make sharing your faith in Christ a way of life.
Third, use a clear, simple presentation of the gospel. There are many benefits which result from using a tool such as the Four Spiritual Laws. Let me list some of them:
- It enables you to open your conversation easily and naturally.
- It begins with a positive statement - "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life."
- It presents the gospel and the claims of Christ clearly and simply.
- It gives you confidence in your witnessing because you know what you are going to say and how you are going to say it.
- It enables you to be prepared at all times and to stick to the subject without getting off on tangents.
- It makes it possible for you to be brief and to the point.
- It enables you to lead others to a personal decision through a suggested prayer.
- It offers suggestions for growth, including the importance of involvement in the church.
- And, of special importance, it is a "transferable tool" whereby those whom you introduce to Christ can be encouraged and trained to lead others to Christ also.

Funeral for first Sikh member of the House of Lords
More than a thousand people have attended the funeral of the first Sikh member of the House of Lords.
The service for Lord Tarsem King was held in West Bromwich this morning.
He was a Sandwell councillor and became a life peer in 1999.


text:
Let me start by saying I have no confidence in any of these picks. There's uncertainty surrounding even Kansas City's pick at No. 1 this year, and with as many as eight teams in the top 12 looking to trade down, the order of the first round could have a very different look by the end of Thursday night.
But, that being said, here's my best guess at how things might play out at Radio City Music Hall:
1. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
It's been reported that even Joeckel isn't sure he's the top target on the Chiefs' board. KC could just as easily turn to Central Michigan's Eric Fisher here and upset the apple cart right from the beginning. But, for the purposes of this exercise, I'll give the Chiefs the guy with the longer track record against better competition.
2. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
There is no consensus on who the best pass rusher in this draft class is. I'm going with Jordan in this spot primarily because I've seen his name linked to the Jaguars the longest. Again, Fisher is a possibility here. And Jacksonville could throw a curveball and take the draft's best CB in Alabama's Dee Milliner.
3. OAKLAND RAIDERS: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Word is the Raiders would like to trade out of this spot. NFL draft Godfather Gil Brandt projects the Jets to trade up here and nab Milliner. If Oakland stays put, I think they'll take Floyd to fill the void in the middle of their defensive line.
4. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
In a highly unpredictable draft, the Eagles might be the biggest wild card. Under new head coach Chip Kelly, Philly might be doing things differently than the other 31 teams in the league. But it stands to reason that o-line needs an upgrade. Again, a trade down is possible. If not, I'm giving the Eagles the best OL still on the board.
5. DETROIT LIONS: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
At the start of the offseason, Milliner almost appeared to be a lock in this spot. A pass rusher also remains a real possibility. But the Lions lost both starting tackles from 2012, and Johnson is soaring up draft boards. The thinking all three top OTs will be gone in the top five is a big part of the reason there could be so much trade activity at 2, 3 and 4.
6. CLEVELAND BROWNS: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The new Browns brain trust — GM Mike Lombardi and head coach Rob Chudzinski — reportedly are not sold on incumbent QB Branden Weeden. Cleveland would love to trade down and still take Smith. But if no deal emerges, I think the Browns will stay put and take their QB of the future.
7. ARIZONA CARDINALS: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Cardinals would love to get one of the three big OTs and could trade up to do just that. But if the board falls this way, former Colts OC Bruce Arians will go for the No. 1-rated guard — and perhaps the draft's best overall player — to shore up a leaky offensive line.
8. BUFFALO BILLS: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Some believe the Bills will pull the first big shocker and draft Southern Cal QB Matt Barkley or Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib in this spot. But they could just as easily wait until the second round — or trade back into the late first round — and get one of the two QBs. So why not take the player many consider to be the draft's most exciting offensive weapon here instead.
9. NEW YORK JETS: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The draft's best corner's slide ends here. After trading Darelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this week, the Jets waste little time turning in a card for the former Crimson Tide star.
10. TENNESSEE TITANS: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Two guards in the top 10? Why not? This draft isn't likely to follow many of the conventional wisdom "rules," and Titans head coach Mike Munchak — a Hall of Fame guard in his own right — appreciates the big uglies up front.
11. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Star Lotuleilei, DT, Utah
The Chargers badly need an OT here, and they'll likely try to trade up to get one of the big three. If that fails, I expect new GM Tom Telesco — who cut his teeth under Bill Polian in Indy and stayed on under Ryan Grigson last year — to take the best player available. That's Lotuleilei who was part of the early conversations about who might go No. 1 overall.
12. MIAMI DOLPHINS: Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU
The Fins reportedly would love to trade down here. Miami is trying to fill its OT need by dealing for Kansas City's Branden Albert, and they signed CB Brent Grimes in free agency to replace departed starter Sean Smith. That leaves pass rusher as the most glaring need, and Mingo could provide great value at No. 12.
13. NEW YORK JETS: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
By taking Milliner at No. 9, the Jets gamble that Mingo still will be on the board here. In my scenario, he's not. So Rex Ryan has to settle for the athletic freak with just nine career starts from BYU. Ansah's ceiling is as high as any player in this draft, but New York also could roll the dice on Georgia's Jarvis Jones if they are comfortable with his medical concerns.
14. CAROLINA PANTHERS: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
So many people have the monster d-lineman from Mizzou projected here that it's almost scary to jump onboard. The fit is tremendous, however. Carolina could also look for a CB to replace retired Chris Gamble or a wide receiver to pair with the aging Steve Smith.
15. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
This could be another home for Georgia's Jarvis Jones. But the Saints need help all over a defense that allowed the most yards in NFL history a year ago. When the draft's top-rated safety falls into your lap, that's a good place to start.
16. ST. LOUIS RAMS: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Rams need a safety and a wide receiver with their two first-round picks. With Vaccaro gone just one pick before them, St. Louis turns to the man rated as the draft's No. 1 receiver for much of the offseason. There reportedly are concerns about Patterson's work ethic and consistency, but his talent is too much for the Rams to pass up here.
17. PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Jones just seems like a Steelers kind of player. There are concerns about a spinal stenosis condition that ended his career at Southern Cal and forced him to transfer to Georgia. Some teams also might be scared off by his poor showing at the Bulldogs' pro day. But my guess is Pittsburgh will see the draft's best pass rusher on tape and take him off the board as James Harrison's replacement.
18. DALLAS COWBOYS: Jonathan Cyprien, S, Florida International
Add the Cowboys to the laundry list of teams that would love to have one of the draft's top OLs. They're all long gone here. So Dallas — transitioning to a Tampa 2 scheme under new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin — grabs the best available safety.
19. NEW YORK GIANTS: Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
There are other needs, and it's very possible this is the landing spot for Alabama OT D.J. Fluker. But the Giants rarely pass up the chance to add to their pass rush, and Carradine seems to have passed former teammate Bjoern Werner in recent weeks.
20. CHICAGO BEARS: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
This is where the Manti Te'o watch begins. The Bears could tab the Notre Dame LB as a replacement for Brian Urlacher. But I think, instead, they'll opt to add another piece to protect the new face of the franchise — QB Jay Cutler.
21. CINCINNATI BENGALS: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
This could be the spot for somebody coming up from the second round after a QB. But the Bengals reportedly love Lacy, and he likely represents the best value for them here.
22. ST. LOUIS RAMS: Eric Reid, S, LSU
The Rams got their WR at No. 16. They go with the best available safety here. There are also plenty of rumors St. Louis could package both of their picks to trade up, likely in pursuit of WR Tavon Austin.
23. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
The Vikings are desperate for help at middle linebacker. This is right in the heart of where Te'o is expected to go off the board. Seems like a perfect fit.
24. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
It's likely somebody — perhaps Miami at No. 12 — will take the former FSU star off the board before the Colts get on the clock. The Falcons also would love to trade up in pursuit of a CB, and they'll likely try to get ahead of Indy to assure Rhodes is there. But if the board falls this way, I don't think Ryan Grigson will hesitate to turn in Rhodes' name.
25. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
With Rhodes gone, the Vikings turn to Trufant — who has two brothers playing CB in the NFL — to replace departed Antoine Winfield. Count Minnesota, with two first-rounders, among the teams that could grant one of the earlier teams' wishes to trade down.
26. GREEN BAY PACKERS: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
WR Greg Jennings signed with Minnesota in free agency, and TE JerMichael Finley's future with the team is uncertain. So why not take the top-rated TE, a Fort Wayne native who provides Aaron Rodgers with another target in the passing game?
27. HOUSTON TEXANS: Robert Woods, WR, Southern Cal
The Texans desperately need another option to take some pressure off No. 1 receiver Andre Johnson. Cal's Keenan Allen and Clemson's DeAndre Hopkins are among the possibilities, but Woods is a fast riser with sure hands who provides the kind of safe option GMs love.
28. DENVER BRONCOS: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Once considered among the draft's elite pass rushers, the German native's stock has fallen in recent weeks. Denver finds itself in need of a replacement for Elvis Dumervil. however, and could be more than happy to stop the former Seminoles' slide.
29. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
Who knows what is going on in the inner recesses of Bill Belichick's mind? The Pats desperately need a WR, but I think they can wait until Round 2. Instead, I'm giving them this underrated Tar Heel. Williams can help take some of the double teams off of Vince Wilfork while serving as his heir apparent.
30. ATLANTA FALCONS: D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
My guess is the Falcons won't stay here. They'd like to move up and grab either Milliner or Rhodes, and if they're willing to pay the price they should have plenty of opportunity. If they remain at 30, I'll give them NFL Network draft czar Mike Mayock's top-rated CB.
31. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: Margus Hunt, DE, SMU
The reigning NFC champs have 14 picks and very few holes to fill. They could go for a safety here or package picks to trade up for Vaccaro much earlier. But San Fran has thin depth along the defensive line and is in perfect position to take a flier on the 6-foot-8 former shot put champion from Estonia with freakish athletic ability and one of the highest upsides in the draft.
32. BALTIMORE RAVENS: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State
The Ravens reportedly are smitten with Oklahoma's Lane Johnson. But it's going to take a lot to move up high enough to grab him. If they stay here, the fast-rising Seminole is not a bad consolation prize.

Emission Sources
Title V Annual Emissions Fee On-line Information Center
The Department of Environmental Protection has amended subsection 62-213.205, F.A.C., to conform with 403.0872 FS, as amended by the Legislature in 2013, so that annual emissions fees collected by the Department from major sources of air pollution (Title V sources) will now be based on the actual amount of regulated air pollutants emitted, instead of being based on the amount of regulated air pollutants allowed to be emitted by permit, as in the past. The Department also repealed subsection 62-213.900(1), F.A.C., Major Air Pollution Source Annual Emissions Fee Form (DEP Form No. 62-213.900(1)), and, therefore, has amended subsection 62-210.900(5), F.A.C., Annual Operating Report (AOR) for Air Pollutant Emitting Facility, Form and Instructions (DEP Form No. 62-210.900(5)), to address the major air pollution source annual emissions fees. The new AOR form and instructions (effective December 31, 2013) are available at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/air/rules/rules.htm.
Resources to help you complete your 2013 AOR are available on the electronic AOR (EAOR) website at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/eaor. If you have questions or need assistance after reviewing the information posted on the EAOR website, please contact us by phone at (850) 717-9000 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On April 19, 2011 from 12-1 pm Dr. James C. Nieh spoke about "The Decline and Fall of Bees: Pollinators in Peril" in the Events Room at the Biomedical Library.
Honey bees face multiple natural and manmade dangers in their environment. Ironically, they are highly successful because of their use in modern agriculture, yet are suffering because modern agriculture imposes stresses from pesticides, diseases, parasites, and management practices such as mobile beekeeping. The research in Dr. Nieh's laboratory explores natural threats and, more recently, the effects of pesticides on honey bee foraging. Come learn about the amazing solutions that bees have evolved in response to natural perils and how our use of pesticides may be contributing to their decline.
Dr. Nieh was born in Taiwan, but grew up in Southern California. He received his B.A. at Harvard in 1991 and his PhD from Cornell University in 1997. He subsequently received a NSF-NATO Postdoctoral fellowship to study at the University of Würzburg in Germany after which he received the prestigious Harvard Junior Fellowship. In 2000, he joined the faculty in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of California San Diego where he is currently a professor in the Section of Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution. Dr. Nieh's interests focus on bee communication and cognition. He studies many types of social bees, including honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees. Currently, his laboratory is interested in exploring the evolution of bee language, how bees communicate and recruit nestmates to food, and how pesticides and disease affect bee behavior, navigation, and communication. More information about his laboratory's research on bees can be found at http://www-biology.ucsd.edu/labs/nieh

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Louisville couple was arrested Wednesday after allegedly dragging a man down the street.
According to an arrest warrant, Ian Trover, 28, and Elizabeth Allen, 25, broke into the victim's home by forcing open a rear door on September 20. The victim said he returned home to find Trover and Allen inside with a backpack full of his property.
The two apparently fled and the victim chased after them. When he reached their car, the victim's arm got caught in a seatbelt.
According to police, Trover and Allen drove off with the victim hanging from the car and then drug him down the street. They eventually stopped the car and pushed the victim out.
The victim said Allen was a former tenant who moved out a few days prior to the incident. The arrest warrant states two guns, a laptop and a camera were stolen from the victim's home. The victim positively identified the two from a photo pack.
Louisville Metro Police said Trover and Allen were arrested at their home on October 2. Upon searching Trover, police found a prescription bottle containing Adderall and the bottle also contained marijuana. A baggie of marijuana was also in plain sight in Trover's car. He stated the marijuana was 'ours' referring to Allen.
According to a police report, Allen had a small, pink breast cancer pill holder in her purse with Adderall in it, which she did not have a prescription for. Officers also noticed a security tag wrapped in foil which appeared to have been taken off the purse. Also in the car was a large amount of clothing with the tags still on and more security tags wrapped in foil.
Trover is being charged with first degree burglary, first degree wanton endangerment, prescription controlled substance not in original container, possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
Allen is being charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and three other unspecified charges.

Rapson sale featured in New York Times
Posted January 13, 2014
The Rapson Line at Loll Designs is on sale through January 16. Shop now: And here's the NYT article highlighting the sale.
Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted July 05, 2012
The very hip Mod Livin' in Denver has recently signed on as a retailer of Rapson-Inc. designs. Mod Livin' was started by husband and wife team, Erick & Jill, with the intent to provide the Rocky Mountain area with a resource of modern design. Their selection ranges from things within reach to the college student to the high-end pieces that would appeal to the avid collector. I have such a fun time browsing their website, which sells all the classics and great new pieces by up-and-coming designers. Store Manager, Amanda Lezan, was kind enough to fill out a short Q & A with thoughtful replies that reflect the personable nature of their company. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with them!
1. I see you opened your doors in 2001. Congratulations on over 10 years in the business! What initially drove Erick & Jill to open Mod Livin'?
Jill first started out over 20 years ago entirely because she's loved furniture and home design for as long as she can remember. The first iteration was with a small shop on the other side of Denver selling vintage exclusively, this seemed like a nice side project and a great excuse for both she & Erick to get out of town regularly on their scouting trips to & fro across the country. They were received amazingly well by Denver and saw the opportunity to parlay the small operation into something bigger. Not a pair to walk away from a good thing (it also helps that they are two of the hardest working people you will ever meet), they began the search for a bigger piece of real estate. Mod Livin' opened its doors on East Colfax in 2001 with the 'infant' version (as Erick likes to call it) of the website first launching in 2002.
2. Mod Livin' has such a wonderful selection of home accessories. How do you keep up with all the new designers? Do you have your eye on anyone new to the scene?
Thank you! It can be tricky (which I realize is a lovely complaint to have). I recently returned from a trip to NYC & Brooklyn with a laundry list of addresses to call on in my pocket; for five days I couldn't quit smiling. There are some fantastic minds out there adding to the foundation which greats like Ralph Rapson established. I also think there's been a revival in people calibrating their lives and patterns around modern design, once again we're embracing that less is more and it's plain to see that thinking is funneling energy into the design community.
Aside from that, I think we probably do what everyone else does; try to get to both ICFF and the Milan Furniture Show and lurk around online (Design*Sponge, Apartment Therapy, and MoCo Loco are permanently bookmarked).
As for new to the scene, we're thrilled we get to be a part of the reintroduction of Rapson. It's a beautiful thing when you can introduce a classic to a new generation.
3. Being surrounded by beautiful objects day in and day out, I imagine it would be tough to pick a favourite, but if you had to pick a favourite designer, who would it be and why?
This question is why my answers are late to you. It is impossible to choose one. Of course everyone at Mod Livin' loves the legends who initially introduced modern to America in a way that made it entirely accessible, and in a way, friendly. The names we all know, Eero Saarinen, George Nelson, Harry Bertoia, Charles & Ray Eames, Florence Knoll, Russel Wright, and of course Ralph Rapson. I wouldn't have this job if it weren't for those names, they're our Rushmore.
Personally, the last year or so I've wanted to buy every piece of Adrianne Pearsall that comes within arm's length. I love the exaggerated lines. The designs are simultaneously whimsical and elegant.
4. The Rapson Greenbelt line of lounge chairs is a fairly new addition to your inventory. If I may ask a leading question, what is it you like about the collection?
I think Rason Inc's description of the line summed up my feelings perfectly, "…heirloom quality built with a conscience." That's what we're all after today. We want heirloom pieces and we refuse to turn a blind eye to the materials and the hands that create them.
Amanda, Cinder & the Rapson Rocker
5. Lastly, what do you enjoy most about your career with Mod Livin'?
The amazing people I get to work with. I respect & appreciate everyone here more than I can explain. Being in an environment that revolves around creativity, design, art, & history while constantly learning from people who have seen all of the ins & outs of this industry is absolutely as good as it gets in my book. I learn something (usually several things) every single day.

But you came to the DJ promotion thread and posed like that was your mix..we are not stupid, "I made a mix but don't know the names of the tracks"
P.S - Housers say trance is dead. And trance is the new hip=hop? lol I hope not..I've been listening to it since the mid-90s so it ain't new to me...and I could say it's people liek you who kill music period- theft!

dude u didnt even listen 2 the mix 2 say it was stolen u assumed, and u know who assumes things, if i had the song names i would post them i dont get it over it i got a cdr with songs labeled track 1 2 etc. Trance is the new Hip Hop ignorant fans who would rather poke fun at some1 cause they dont have a tracklist rather than help the person understand the sound. if u been listening to Trance since the mid 90's be a teacher to ppl who have just got into the sound, not some 1 who says the songs r cc music factory and bang a boys
Just please tell me how trance is the new hip-hop..maybe you should teach me ...also if you bought the CD it would've been labeled..sounds like it wasns't an original CD

it was cd-r from a friend with the tracks. both genres are filled with close minded fans who r music elitest, who decided to make fun of new ppl to the genre instead of teaching the new ppl about the genre. U must not know alot about hip hop but hip hop and trance started the same way, by kids who wnated 2 hear new sounds and created a culture around the sounds, different colour ppl but same shit.
for starters hiphop is not a type of music, it is a culture based on rap music..but anyways what do you want to know about trance?? There are many people that will "teach" about it in the main thread, not DJ promotion..you can ask anything you want in there...but why are you DJing a type of music you don't know anything about?

Powers That Be
In a life marked by one great love and a staggering loss, Stefanie Powers emerges as a woman of uncommon strength.
Paul Chutkow
From the Print Edition:
Michael Richards, Sep/Oct 97
Stefanie Powers is sitting in her cozy little home office in Beverly Hills, looking through one of her photo albums from Africa.
"Here's me with an 18-foot snake," she says. "And here I am with Bill..."
For the past two hours, Powers has been talking about her taste for fine cigars and telling stories about growing up as a tomboy in Southern California, about the zany way she broke into Hollywood, and about the role that made her one of America's most popular actresses: starring alongside Robert Wagner in the hit TV series "Hart to Hart." Powers is a bright, articulate and very worldly woman, and while many of her stories are marvelous, few shed much light into the interior corridors of the real Stefanie Powers. Only one subject betrays her, only one subject penetrates her carefully constructed facade: "Bill."
"Bill" is William Holden, the charismatic, iconoclastic leading man who left a deep and lasting imprint on Hollywood and American culture via his riveting performances in such legendary films as Sunset Boulevard, Stalag 17, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Sabrina and Network. Holden also left a deep and lasting imprint on Stefanie Powers. When they met in 1972, Holden became more than her lover; he became the center of her existence. They were together nine years, intertwined in a romantic adventure that took them from Hollywood to the South Pacific, China and the game ranches of Holden's beloved Africa. Holden died 16 years ago in a tragic accident at his home in Santa Monica. Four years ago, Powers married a Frenchman who lives and works in Burgundy. But some wounds never fully heal. When Powers talks now of her years with Holden, you can still sense the depth of her loss.
"He was certainly the most significant human being in my life," Powers says. "Our relationship was based on a lot of mutual respect and affection. There was tremendous harmony in the way we did things. We were ready at the time. We got our gear together in the same way. We relished in a headline of some interesting activity going on and then we'd rush to purchase tickets. Our focus was on the same thing. We were soul mates."
Powers today comes across as a woman who, stunned by life's cruelest truth, has managed both to survive and come away with a rock-hard understanding of her own priorities, of what's important and what's not. Her house suggests that. Located on a quiet street in a part of Beverly Hills known as Benedict Canyon, her house is cheery and tasteful, with a ranch feel and no hint of anything garish or designer- fashioned. When she's not at her house in Kenya, or seeing her husband in France, she lives here with her mother, her two Jack Russell terriers and a pet parrot. Powers has owned the house for many years; sometimes she's rented it out, now it's definitely home. The den has comfy leather sofas and a set of handsome, long-legged barstools that Powers personally designed; you get the feeling that Holden would have loved them. The bathroom off Powers' home office is cluttered with bridles and muddy riding gear; horses have been one of Powers' lifelong passions.
In her dress and manner, Powers is also without frills or pretense. Today she wears no makeup. She's dressed in simple black flats, faded jeans and a plain black sweater that accentuates the red in her reddish-blonde mane. In this lamentable era of trashy tabloids and trendy magazines that feed on celebrities and love to dish the dirt, most Hollywood stars tend to view all reporters as a single species, a group of low-lifes akin to the cockroach--with scruples to match. Powers is no exception. For instance, as soon as she greets her interviewer she wants to get right down to business, with no prefatory chitchat or even a moment's politesse, as if to say, "In my line of work, publicity is a necessary evil; let's get this noxious invasion of my privacy over with as quickly as possible."
The subject of cigars, though, helps break the ice. She was introduced to them when she was 14. Born Nov. 2, 1942, Powers is of Polish ancestry--her given name is Stefania Zofia Federkiewicz--and she grew up in Southern California. (Insisting on a degree of privacy, Powers refuses to specify where; only later does she allude to childhood homes in Bel Air and Malibu. Nor will she specify where she went to school, even though published reports have said she went to Hollywood High, with such classmates as Tuesday Weld and Yvette Mimieux.) Powers says she was introduced to cigars by a man she will identify only as "Uncle Reader." By way of further identification, she would say only that "Uncle Reader" for a long time worked for Fred Astaire, and that he and his wife were close friends of her parents.
"Everyone has favorite friends of your parents, and they were my favorite friends of my parents," Powers says. "So on occasion I would spend weekends with them or a week during the summer. She clipped poodles as a hobby and I learned to clip poodles. Uncle Reader lived life in a very stylish way and from him I learned how to play backgammon, drink brandy and smoke cigars. Very good cigars. Because in those days you could still get Cuban cigars. He also had these Montecristo No. 5s, which he would use as a short smoke. I didn't know very much, but I thought what I was doing was really rather sensational."
At that time in America, smoking cigars was a luxury reserved for men, and that gave it a special cachet for Powers; at heart she was a tomboy. She loved ballet, and worked hard at her dancing, but the rest of her interests were anything but typically girlish. "I always hung out with the boys," she says with a laugh. "I was always keen on what the boys were doing: riding, racing, roping, doing all that stuff. It was always more fun than what the girls were doing. The girls were doing things that weren't terribly interesting to me. I like adventure. Which became my life."

Mayor Lee supports PG&E's monopoly
After watching Mayor Ed Lee and his appointees subvert the launch of CleanPowerSF and support PG&E's illegal monopoly control of local energy users -- and PG&E's regular attempts to greenwash its dirty power portfolio -- artist Michael Ortlieb developed and submitted this editorial cartoon. Enjoy.
voted down a public option. The only reason this clean option is around is because a few activists found a loophole enabling some form of public power to be implemented without a popular vote.
The people are angry about that sleight of hand, and Ed Lee knows that. Lee has the people on his side. the clean power lobby only has ideology on their side.
I support Lee's fight for democracy over ideology.
so let me get this straight
the mayor's is blocking a program that is about to strongly compete with PG&E's monopoly on clean energy delivery and rates
and you think that is good for democracy?
how exactly does that work?
competition for exactly the reasons you cite. What I am opposed to, however, is unfair competition, and a city-subsidized system that consumers have to opt out of, rather than opt into, is not a level playing field.
Moreover I believe that the costs of clean power are being massaged in a "bait and switch" move, and the entire purpose of this initiative is to drive out PG&E, whereupon we will have no choice gain.
but if Duke Energy, Southern, Dominion, Con-Ed, AEP, Excelon or one of the other major US utilities want to compete here, I'm all for it.
FYI, I also support the tearing down of Hetch-Hetchy dam. See how green and groovy I am?
The city won't be subsidizing CleanPowerSF's rates, although taxpayers have subsidized PG&E, including its construction of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant and several of its hydroelectric projects. And we certainly don't have the ability to opt-out of PG&E power, although it would be simple to opt-out of CleanPowerSF and there would be repeated outreach efforts reminding people of that opportunity. So how exactly is that "unfair competition"?
CleanPowerSF is entirely self funded by revenue bonds based on clean energy installation and purchases paid for (but at the same billed rate) by the customers themselves. No tax or rate subsidies are involved at all.
It is the customers themselves who will fund their own competition with PG&E, and the beauty of the whole process is that it will be cheaper, for a far better product, because clean energy is cheaper over its full life time and the small higher up front cost can be spread out over a long repayment period - essentially in a clean energy mortgage.
This is the -ultimate- in consumer self empowerment to combat anti-competitive monopoly.
Do you think it is bad for consumers to collaborate together in this way to compete with corporate monopolies?
Every nation in Europe has rejected a similar plan to give Oil companies centralized control of solar energy.
What 69 nations around the world have done is just require Utilities (PG&E) to pay home owners $0.49 kwh for feeding solar onto the grid.
Why? Because they want solar democracy.
Giving Shell Oil $1 billion is a dumb idea.
SF wants a DECENTRALIZED solar energy system of
roof top solar panels on each home.
CPSF is a Shell Oil scam to build a giant solar farm in Nevada.
That is the opposite of decentralization.
Decentralization is a Green Party key value.
There is no Shell deal anymore. Ask the SFPUC. Shell is no longer likely to be any part of CleanPowerSF
nice subtle morph on the mustache ;)
The cartoonist Michael Ortlieb has done a yeomanlike job of integrating details of the story into a familiar tableau in the manner which produces humor. I mean extra compliment by saying the cartoon is surpisingly good. Well done all. Regular feature?
I am not "troll barrier" and have only twice posted such messages -- perhaps questionably in hopes of having an improvement to offer. The first occasion I committed the major faux pas of leaving my alias in the name field. I did not mean to give the troll a chance to make the anti-troll device an excuse to talk about me instead of the issue of trolling, but it probably made no practical difference anyway.
I suspect in the end, the troll either wants to be the center of attention, or is simply taking glee at being a trouble to other people.
(Trolling is when a person continues to make the same arguments which have been disproven by pretending to not understand the proof, then constantly brings up red herrings to distract from how their arguments have been defeated; which they ultimately claim to have won... as, plainly, nobody believes -- and a number of other similarly bankrupt rhetorical gimmicks.)
No matter the proximate reason behind the trolling, at heart the troll is probably a fundamentally sad person who others should look upon with solemn pity and hopes for them finding a truer meaning in life than acting in a senselessly destructive manner towards their fellows.
In the meantime, the troll barrier is a great idea and people should refrain from reading -- and certainly posting -- responses to comments which follow them.
A troll barrier is probably in order right now, prophylactically.
I feel sure these alleged "trolls" will recede quaking in fear.
Fortunately for them, it has never happened yet.
this is simply a troll barrier
it is a signpost to indicate to the reader that other anonymous posters on this thread are beginning to purposely diminish the conversation into reactionary hyperbole and/or petty, mean spirited, personal attacks and irrelevant bickering
the barrier is put in place to signal that there is probably little point in reading more replies in the thread past this point
proceed at your own risk
like Hitler for a while now. Godwin's Law is alive and well here, evidently.

I love Troll Barrier, now can you also do an uneducated post barrier?
Only an uneducated person would repeat the same thing over and over again in a hopelessly doomed attempt to stifle and suppress free speech on the internet.
The fact that he is having to do it over and over shows it is not effective for, if it were, just once would be enough.
Great cartoon of Shell Oil shill Eric Brooks in a top hat.
"Forgive him, for he knows not what he does." -- Jesus.
I have been the CleanPowerSF organizer in San Francisco who has most vociferously opposed the Shell deal and have continuously asked that Shell be dumped from the CleanPowerSF program, even when that alienated me from other CleanPowerSF supporters.
Thankfully, because of pressure from myself and others, that has now become the reality, and the SFPUC has admitted that it can take on the role that was once proposed for Shell.
Shell is no longer necessary in CleanPowerSF and so is not likely to play any role in the program whatsoever.
Wait...politics and power generation aside...there is nothing either remotely funny or clever or insightful in that cartoon.
Is that really the best you got for sharing? No wonder you don't have a lot of Twitter followers and you posts get maybe 5 shares on Facebook.
By now they are as bitter as all hell.

Fresno, CA (Sports Network) - Wendell McKines registered another double-double as he tallied 20 points and a career-high 18 rebounds to lead the New Mexico State Aggies to an 83-78 overtime win against the Fresno State Bulldogs in Western Athletic Conference action at the Save Mart Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Aggies (23-9, 10-4 WAC) were Bandja Sy and Tyrone Watson with 22 and 11 points, respectively, as they closed the regular season with six wins in the last seven outings.
The Bulldogs (13-19, 3-11) were paced by Kevin Olekaibe who tallied a game- high 23 points as he shot 5-of-8 behind the three-point line, but just 6-of-17 from the floor overall. Kevin Foster pitched in with 20 points, nine boards and four blocked shots off the bench, followed by Tyler Johnson with 16 points in the setback.
NMSU was rather cold shooting the ball in the first half as the team made just eight total field goals, allowing the hosts to post a 41-25 lead at the break. The Bulldogs shot an impressive 53.6 percent from the field through the first 20 minutes of action.
In the second half the Aggies came storming back on the strength of 50.0 percent shooting from the floor and it wasn't until the last minute of regulation that the first tie of the game took place thanks to a three-pointer by FSU's Jonathan Wills. McKines had a chance to give the victory to the visitors, but he missed a late jumper and that sent the meeting into overtime tied at 67-67.
In the extra session NMSU drilled 3-of-4 shots behind the three-point line and 5-of-6 at the free-throw line in order to claim the win.
New Mexico State turned the ball over 15 times on the night, but made up for those miscues by outscoring Fresno State by a margin of 22-11 at the free- throw line.

Fast cars and foot traffic are two things that don't mix, especially at busy intersections like Southwest Boulevard and US-41 in East Naples.
"It's just a congested mess. It's horrible for vehicles and drivers," says Jan Jackson.
Jackson almost lost her 16-year-old grandson to an accident at the intersection on December 1st.
"He's not a risk taker. He's not out there dodging cars for fun. He was crossing 41 and almost made it to the median and was struck by a car," Jackson said.
The crash left her grandson with a brain injury and several bumps and bruises, but it left her with a mission.
"Enough is enough. Something has got to be done at this intersection," she says.
Jackson wants a red light installed at the crossroads.
"There have been other accidents and fatalities at that intersection. One was a two-year-old boy from Whistler's Cove a few years ago and that was terrible. But when it strikes close to home, like it did me, it's a ball and I'm going to run with it," Jackson says.
County leaders have heard the call for action loud and clear. A new red light is being installed at the intersection, but it's not where Jackson wants it. It's in front of Eagle Lakes Park.
"There's definitely a problem here. We should've had a light here a long time ago," says county commissioner Donna Fiala.
Fiala says she's been fighting to get a red light near the busiest park in the county for six years.
"You see all day long, women with their babies in their strollers running across this traffic and it scares you to death to see it happen," she says.
And now on the heels of Jackson's grandson getting hit, Fiala says she'll start fighting to get another red light installed.
The Department of Transportation says they just gave the county the go-ahead to install the red lights in front of Eagle Lakes Park. A local developer is footing the bill as a part of an agreement with the county.
As for the fate of the Southwest Boulevard and US-41 intersection, Commissioner Fiala says that could take a while.

Nature Deficit Disorder: Saving our urban youth
by Sister Stephanie Hughes
The day to day violence and lack of opportunity to be outside their normal environment has subjected our community to Nature Deficit Disorder – children spending less time outdoors, resulting in a wide range of behavioral problems
Lazarus House has been able to engage over 120 youth and families on first-time outdoor experiences. Our youth and families have had the opportunity to go camping and hiking, with the occasional trip to the San Francisco Ballet. These opportunities have helped youth and families step outside their environment and experience something new and beautiful and fight Nature Deficit Disorder.
Our campaign
In order to continue our work, we are currently in a fundraising drive to buy a 12-passenger van. This van can help facilitate more opportunities for our youth and families. To make this happen, it's going to take people like you to help!
Please help us in our Campaign to Save our Youth and fight against Nature Deficit Disorder. Donate and make a difference in a child's life.
Donations go to Lazarus House Healing by Faith Ministry, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donate online at http://apps.facebook.com/causes/beneficiaries/82061/info, or mail a check or money order to Lazarus House, 5 Cameron Way, San Francisco CA 94124.
Sister Stephanie Hughes, founder and director of Lazarus House, can be reached at email@example.com.
One thought on "Nature Deficit Disorder: Saving our urban youth"

The Saints have agreed to deals to re-sign WR Lance Moore and add OLB Will Herring.
In an ode to NBA star LeBron James, Moore tweeted on Wednesday afternoon that "this process has been pretty crazy. The Decision coming shortly." Eleven minutes later, he posted again, this time writing "Welp, its been real New Orleans........But let's make the next five years even more real. I'm coming back baby!"
Moore, one of Drew Brees' favorite targets, has caught 20 touchdowns total over the past three years. After a rough 2009, the receiver caught 66 passes last season for 763 yards.
The team also will sign former Seahawks OLB Will Herring to a three-year contract, PFW correspondent Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on Wednesday. Herring's agent, George Mavrikes, confirmed the deal to Triplett.
Mostly a special-teams player in Seattle, Herring has 109 career tackles in four professional seasons. The 27-year-old has started seven career games.

---- — Connecting the dots is one way to make a regional trail system come to life.
With Derry's rail group working on the community's trail system Londonderry trail supporters now hope voters may spend money to get that town's system moving along.
At a recent town budget hearing, Londonderry resident Polly Ann Winslow told officials she hoped voters might approve funding to pave a portion of the town's trail system.
"We feel it would be an appropriate time to propose a warrant article," Winslow said, "to see if citizens are interested in seeing the trail get paved and operational."
The cost to pave would not be more than $187,000, Winslow said.
Residents can also support the trail project with donations and other sponsorships.
Federal transportation stimulus money could also support the project.
The Londonderry Trailways group spent time in November doing a major cleanup of the property, cutting down about 2,000 feet of overgrowth on railroad tracks from Mammoth Road to Little Cohas Brook.
"That part is completely cleaned and ready to go," Winslow said.
Derry rail trail officials are happy to hear that.
"It's one more piece of the old Manchester and Lawrence line moving us that much closer to the dream of having a continuous rail trail from Salem to Concord — actually over the border into Methuen all the way to Concord," Derry Rail Trail Alliance president Erich Whitney said.
Derry officially dedicated its newest portion of the trail this year leading from the downtown to the Windham town line.
An informational kiosk marks the beginning of the trail behind Sabatino's restaurant.
"It's been almost five years in the making to this point," Whitney said. "It's pretty clear it's something the community responded to positively."
Whitney expressed his hopes that Londonderry, too, would continue its trail work as part of the overall regional system.
"We still have the last section through Derry to meet Londonderry but it's our hope that we can make that happen if more of the corridor is completed, putting public pressure on the people holding up the land," Whitney said.
He said Derry's trail group is working with Londonderry to offer any help and advice it needs as it's trail project moves forward.
"I would consider Derry a success today but it will be even a greater success once the entire corridor is open to the public and accessible as a multi-use public trail," Whitney said. "It's important that we connect the dots."

I will try reproducing your problem, but before I sit and send (and pay for!) 40 text messages, I'd like to be sure you've tried it already and that you can reproduce the problem.
Sorry to say but you didn't get my question, I am not talking about SENDING messages but RECEIVING, as my application receives messages from server side. And the issue produces during that process so there is no other way to produce such thing to see if it works that way. Your code is to send messages and it already worked for me.

Should Charly be booted out too
Emily was kicked out of the big brother house for using a term that could have been deemed offensive to other people in the house, and the viewers. Charly also used the same word, and therefore could have caused the same offence. The colour of either girls skin is irrelevant here, the fact is they both used the term, so surely it should be one out, both out If not then surely this is being racist towards white people by saying they cannot say a word that a black person can!

News: Ray J Admits Losing Control Over Fabolous Rant, Issues Apology
Tuesday, Sep 20, 2011 1:10PM
R&B singer Ray J has come forward to issue an open apology over remarks he made yesterday (September 19) regarding an alleged physical altercation he had with rapper Fabolous in Las Vegas.
Hitting up Twitter to give his mea culpa, Ray J admitted he lost control of himself.
"I want to apologize to my fans that might have been offended by the things I said on the radio today. I lost control.," he tweeted Tuesday (September 20). (Ray J's Twitter)
Monday night, Fab called up Power 105.1 radio host DJ Clue to address Ray J's remarks.
"Who called in, Tupac?" Fab said sarcastically referring to Ray J's initial Monday morning rant. "Tupac called in? That wasn't Ray J. You can't be serious. That wasn't Ray J. That wasn't him. That wasn't Willy Norwood Jr. That wasn't him. That wasn't Brandy brother...It was no fight, it was no swing -- This whole story that he made up, that Tupac rant about him swinging on somebody and all of that sh*t is all lies. It's all, high on coke, on that Whitney. That's all on that Whitney last night. Ain't no swings take place. You can ask the Money Team. The Money Team was standing right there. Ask the Money Team that hes probably the water boy for -- There's nothing to squash. We can progress in our own ways. He can go his way and I can go my way. He can continue playing the piano at Floyd's crib if he wants and I'll continue to do what I do and he can continue to do concerts in n*ggas living rooms all he wants." (Power 105.1)
Monday morning, Ray J phoned into the Power 105.1 "Breakfast Club" show to give his take on what went down.
"I'ma smack you up again, fool! 'Ray J got beat up?' I'll sock that n*gga in the face, my n*gga," Ray J told DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God. "All I'm saying is if you got Fab's number, tell that n*gga to send you a picture of his face right now...I'm with the Money Team right now. I swear to God he's running from me right now...[After I hit him,] he fell back because he's a sucker -- Fab ain't no comedian. My homie saved his life when he was in LA so how dare you even speak disrespectful to me. So when I seen him, I was with Floyd [Mayweather] and 50 [Cent] and he tried to say 'Don't touch me' and I [punched] that n*gga -- If you disrespect me, don't come to the West Coast. So he in Las Vegas and he tried to disrespect me?" ("The Breakfast Club")
Rumors of the one-on-one fight hit the Internet early Monday.
It seems Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz wasn't the only two shooting the fair one on Saturday night. According to various fans, R&B singer Ray J and Brooklyn rapper Fabolous got into a fight this weekend backstage at a concert. The hear say first started on Twitter after a fan wrote: "Just saw Ray J and Fabolous throw blows backstage at the concert in Vegas," while another tweets, "So @RayJ just punched @myfabolouslife about some dumb stuff but Fab whooped his a** backstage." Unlike the Mayweather bout, fans won't get to see the alleged fight on video. Reports have it that security guards forced all onlookers to delete any footage. (Singersroom)

Over the last year, I've been reviewing the rounds of the Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project. While many have been skeptical of this project, I have defended it as I didn't see it as any more or less crassly commercial than the rest of the industry's various projects and exclusives. I still think it's a long way from collections that are as vulgar as the Dalmore Constellation collection, for that matter.
However, over the last few months, my tasting group has had participants drop out. I didn't think this was a problem at the time – I know tons and ton of whiskey aficionados, surely replacing the drop-outs wouldn't be a huge effort. And yet it was. For every replacement seat secured, another participant dropped out. While most of it was covered, it ended up being one short on a rolling basis.
Unfortunately, that's where I have to know when to fold my hand.
Even if I did secure every seat, that's for one round. The most die-hard whiskey fans I know couldn't sustain interest past four releases. The prospect of chasing down willing participants seemingly endlessly for three years on a quarterly basis doesn't sound like a fun time to me.
So, I am forced to revisit the question of the Single Oak Project. Yes, it's interesting. Yes, it's audacious. But if it's not possible to drum up sustained interest among the nerdiest and most passionate of bourbon lovers, how will the project sustain interest for the next three years? As a casual consumer, you're picking blind. The only guy who seems to be continuing to have coverage is Christopher Null over at Drinkhacker - and that's just one opinion out there. I know I will not be buying individual bottles blind; it misses the point of the project.
So the project adds one more unaccounted-for variable: inconsistency among palates. Maybe Buffalo Trace thought this through and there will be separate cohorts analyzed, but I doubt it. Maybe Buffalo Trace is happy to roll the dice based on near-random consumer input with very little control data, but a one in 192 shot is utterly awful odds at finding "The Perfect Bourbon". It's better than the lottery by a fair shot, but it's about 6 times worse odds than roulette tables.
For me, this seems to be the end of the project. I would have been interested to follow it through, but the economics are prohibitive – $600 a case every four months? I'm not going to pay close to $2500 a year for bourbon I only need about 60mL of to understand in the context of SIngle Oak, and I don't have the space to store such a huge amount of whiskey for such an ongoing time. 54 liters of bourbon remaining in 3 years is too tall an order – to say nothing of the $7500 buy-in it would require.
So, unfortunately, this is the end for the Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project coverage here, as far as I can see it. Managing a group buy and filling minis, photographing bottles and so on – I'm not going to miss that one bit. I will miss the bit-by-bit experimentation, but $100 a quarter was as high as I would go on it.
Your best bet for future coverage is at Drinkhacker as linked above, and it seems like a few liquor store owners are quietly making their way through the flights.
Good luck, Buffalo Trace. If a release for the aficionados can't generate and sustain aficionado interest, those three years of remaining inventory have to be looking slightly larger.
