Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Talley Rincon 2009
Au Bon Climat - California - United States - San Luis Obispo - Arroyo Grande
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
Pinot Noir grapes have been cultivated in and around the Burgundy region of France for centuries, where they have long been favored by vintners for their wide range of flavors, their thin skins and for producing wines which have light, smooth tannins, and a beautiful garnet red color Whilst they remain one of the flagship varietals of this special region, their wide popularity and recent status as a fashionable 'romantic' varietal has led to them being planted in almost every wine producing country in the world. However, the Pinot Noir demands a huge amount of care and attention from the wineries that wish to grow it, as this varietal is particularly susceptible to various forms of mildew and rot. Despite this, the grape is otherwise a favorite with wineries for the fact that it requires little extra effort once it begins fermentation. Pinot Noir is also widely known for producing some of the world's most famous sparkling wines, being one of two key grapes for the production of Champagne, and several other sparkling varieties.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

Williams Frey says a demographic and cultural gap is emerging between the mostly white baby boomers and the mostly non-white upcoming generation, many of whom are recent immigrants to the U.S. He says a recent Pew survey found almost half of white boomers viewed the growing number of immigrants "a threat to traditional U.S. customs and values." Boomers would do well to remember their inextricable link to this diverse younger population, says Frey, who will be paying into Social Security and Medicare during the boomer generation's retirement years.

Spartan Motors Inc.
Spartan Motors Inc., headquartered in Charlotte, MI, is a world innovator of custom chassis, leading in the engineering and manufacturing of the foundations for the fire truck industry. What makes a Spartan custom chassis unique is that each one is engineered and built specifically for its intended end use, providing a perfect fit and balance to the body.
The company operates with approximately 500 full-time employees in nearly 300,000 square feet of manufacturing and office capacity at its corporate headquarters in Charlotte, MI.
The following six custom fire truck chassis series are offered through over 48 OEMs nationwide:
- The "Advantage" fire truck chassis and cab is priced to provide an alternative to a commercial chassis which typically features less standard features and available options. The Advantage chassis is Spartan's first product designed to compete directly with the commercial market without sacrificing the added flexibility, quality and end-user orientation of a custom-built fire truck.
Features include the Cummins C8.3 300-hp or 325-hp diesel engine coupled with a full range of MD3060 Allison transmissions.
- Spartan's custom engine forward "Metrostar" fire truck chassis offers several tilt cab options and features Cummins C8.3, 300-hp, 325-hp and up to the M-11 320 and 350-hp diesel engines. Your choice of power also includes the Detroit Diesel Series 40 330-hp engine. The Allison MD3060 and MD3066 transmissions are available on this premium chassis.
- Spartan's mid-engine custom "Baron" fire truck chassis and cab is powered by your choice of the Cummins M-11 320-hp to 450-hp diesel engines or the Detroit Diesel Series 60 430-hp diesel engine. Couple this with the wide range of Allison MD3060, MD3066 and HD4060 automatic transmission and you have a powerhouse of a vehicle.
- The custom rear-engine "Silent Knight" fire truck chassis and cab features Cummins C8.3 320-hp to 400-hp diesel engines or the Detroit Diesel Series 40 330-hp engine. The Allison MD3060, MD3066 or HD4060 transmissions are available on this premium chassis. One of the most unique features is the full air suspension adding to the life cycle of the vehicle and comfort for the driver and crew.
The rear engine together with a three-gear transfer case and air suspension front and rear produces the quietest, smoothest, best riding and handling fire truck chassis in the industry.
- Spartan's most popular custom fire truck chassis, the engine forward "Gladiator," has set world-class standards for over 20 years. This unit leads the Spartan chassis and cab line-up and features Cummins M-11 350-hp to the powerful 450-hp diesel engines with the option of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 350-hp to 500-hp engine. This coupled with the Allison HD 4060 or HD4060PR transmission provides the power that meets the most demanding call. The standard features and available options seem almost endless.

I have read all off the Twin Cities Press on the draft to date and frankly it surprises me on how complimentry they are with the Vikings draft picks. Frankly, it's out of their character, and that worries me. :lol:
They didn't say the Vikes did great, but they didn't say they were terrible either. It seems it's kind of a "wait and see" attitude.
I think Childress gave some great reasons why the Vikes did what they did and after reading them I am far more comfortable on the team's draft day decisions. Granted they made a mistake in hindsite, but those things happen to everyone.
I am still VERY HIGH on Childress and the TOA at this point. I think a lot of people who said this was the worst draft ever for the Vikes and are calling for Foley's head will look back on this year as a watershed year for the Vikes fortunes.
I like what the press has said about any draft..."If, after three years you can look back and have two good players out of the draft, it was a success." Well, I think there are going to be four players here who will shine. Two of them will make an immediate impact and two more in three years will be shining, too.
I hope I'm right.

Google Chrome Can Cut Your Mobile Data Usage—But There's A Catch
The latest Chrome for Mobile update could help lower your data usage, but there's a caveat—it will pass everything you browse through Google servers.
Google announced new Chrome data compression and bandwidth management that it says could cut your browsing data usage in half. This is an opt-in feature that you can turn on via the browser's settings.
The data compression feature is powered by an SPDY proxy connection running on Google's servers that reduces the latency of Web pages. For instance, when you use Chrome, the proxy is able to process multiple requests and responses over a single connection to your mobile device, and the proxy takes on the task of DNS lookups that would normally be handled by your phone or tablet. The proxy also optimizes images to a compressed WebP format, so less data is used when downloading images.
There's more background in this older Google Chrome blog post.
Chrome will bypass the Google proxy (and thus disable data compression) if you're on a secure (HTTPS) connection or browsing in "incognito" mode. Google takes some further steps to mollify privacy concerns:
Additionally, the content of proxied pages will be cached according to each page's cache policy as specified by its headers (Expires, Cache-Control, etc.) but not logged. These logs are not associated with your Google Account, and the entire log entry will be removed within 6 months. Google will use both the request and response data to improve the service; for example, more effective optimizations can be uncovered by analyzing timing data for pages loaded through the proxy service.
You'll be able to track how much bandwidth you save each month by visiting "Bandwidth Management" under "Settings."
In addition to the data saving update, Google also announced Google Translate in Chrome for iOS and application shortcuts on Android.

Middle Earth Comes To Life On Google Chrome
Editor's note: This post was originally published by our partners at PopSugar Tech.
From the elvish oasis of Rivendell to the abandoned kingdom of Erebor, director Peter Jackson spared no expense in re-creating J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastical world of lush greenery, terrifying forest lands, and creatures big and small. In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the trifecta of stunning backdrops, flawless costumes, and sweeping music comes together seamlessly on the big screen (and in eye-popping 3D).
Now imagine the difficulty in developing that same universe for small screens. A Journey to Middle-earth is a Google Chrome experiment that took the challenge head-on. The interactive Web feature for computers, phones, and tablets allows Hobbit fans to see the dwarves' journey in incredible detail.
Explore the Trollshaw Forest, Rivendell, Dol Guldur, Thranduil's Hall, Lake-Town, and Erebor in full-screen. You'll definitely want to pop on some over-ear headphones and experience the Chrome Experiment's immersive soundtrack. The narration provided in each area will provide background from Tolkien's novel and the first Peter Jackson-directed Hobbit film. Once you finish swiping through each area, you'll get a chance to play an interactive game. Try your hand at archery in Lake Town or avoid the wrath of Smaug by delivering only the cleverest response.
Creating the web-based multimedia was no small feat. Engineers used WebGL and Web Audio to produce the interactive's rich detail and optimize javascript performance. Adapting the experience for all screens was another challenge entirely. The team provided a case study of how they approached the front-end development for the site.
As fans of both Tolkien and Sherlock, we are very, very excited to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug again and again. The film, of course, stars our two favorites: Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Benedict Cumberbatch as the lethal Smaug. The banter between the two of them in the film is priceless.
After watching the film, dive into the Hobbit Chrome Experience at middle-earth.thehobbit.com, then let us know which section of the dwarves' adventure you'd like to participate in most.

One Great Dish: Roasted Eggplant and Wonton Napoleon At Arugula
Inspired chefs live by the motto "Been there; done that." Faced with a market basket of fresh, seasonal ingredients, chefs accept the challenge and create something new. Sometimes, however, their creations are so good that restaurant customers don't want to see a dish disappear from a menu.

Man Sentenced To Dinner Date At Red Lobster
This might possibly be the most awesome court sentence handed down by a judge in history. Joseph Bray of Plantation, Florida may be thanking his lucky stars that he had the brilliant Judge John Hurley presiding over his case, especially since Judge Hurley is sentencing him to mandatory Cheddar Bay Biscuits and all the shrimp he can eat.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Bray found himself in Judge Hurley's court on a domestic violence charge stemming from a skirmish with his wife, Sonia, during which he shoved her on to a couch. The skirmish started because Bray forgot his wife's birthday.
Upon hearing the story, Judge Hurley handed down the following sentence. Bray must buy flowers and a card for his wife, take her to dinner at Red Lobster, and then take her bowling.
This rather creative sentence came down as it was obvious that the couple still loved each other and were willing to patch things up in marriage counseling.

'American Idol' Recap: Janelle Arthur Is Out
American Idol's results show on Thursday revealed that country singer Janelle Arthur would be the latest contestant on the talent show to be eliminated.
Arthur, a 23-year-old Tennessee native, sang "When I Call Your Name," by Vince Gil from 1989, for the year she was born, and Dolly Parton's "Dumb Blonde" for her diva song selection. Neither performance managed to receive much praise from the judges, causing Arthur's elimination to come as not much of a surprise.
Going for the save, Arthur sang her inspiring arrangement of "Keep Me Hangin' On" that she performed during American Idol's Motown week. Although it was a noticeable improvement from her performances the previous night, the judges opted not to use their save on the first female finalist who would be departing the show this season.
"I'm sad because I wasn't ready to go," Arthur told Us Weekly after the show. "I was already thinking about songs for next week and I think it would've been really good." And although Wednesday's song selections proved to be her undoing, Arthur says that her favorite moment on American Idol was singing Parton's upbeat single.
"I had so much fun. That was the most fun I had on the stage, mainly because I brought that to life," she said. "That arrangement had been in my head, and just to know two days before that performance, I explained it to them and what came from that is cool."
With Janelle out of the running, the final four remaining Idol-hopefuls are Candace Glover, Angie Miller, Kree Harrison and Amber Holcomb.
American Idol will return Wednesday on Fox at 8/7c.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Announced
Blitzball is back! Square Enix has confirmed Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster for a 2013 release across PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in North America and Europe.
On PlayStation 3, the game will be released as Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster. Amazon currently has the bundle listed for $39.99, but that price has not been confirmed by Square Enix. On PlayStation Vita, each game will be released separately as Final Fantasy X HD Remaster and Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster.
Both games are the International versions. Final Fantasy X HD Remaster will include the Expert version of the Sphere Grid, Dark Aeons, and Penance, but we have to wait to find out what extras Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster will include.
"These games are classic fan-favorites, and we hope that new and old FINAL FANTASY fans can experience the world of Spira and the story of Tidus and Yuna in a brand-new light with these remastered editions," said Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2.
No official date has been set yet, but Square Enix has stated that the game will be released before the end of the year.

Producing and Manipulating Information
AbstractThis paper studies the selection of information collecting agents by policy makers in the light of two agency problems. First, it is often hard to ascertain how much effort agents have put in acquiring information. Second, when agents have an interest in the policy outcome, they may manipulate information. We show that unbiased advisers put highest effort in collecting information. Eliminating manipulation of information, however, requires that the preferences of the policy maker and the adviser be aligned. Therefore, policy makers appoint advisers with preferences that are less extreme than their own. Copyright 2005 Royal Economic Society.

"Leeah, let's try to take a cute picture together!"
My heart hurts so much because this afternoon, I lost my noble steed and dear friend, Mini Clee. My family rescued her in 2005 after we found her outside alone. She had kittens and they all went to good homes. She loved Fruit Loops, always slept on the same chair, only drank water out of a cup, was clumsy like me, got white hair all over me and liked it when the windows were open. She used to unplug my desktop computer when I wasn't paying attention to her and she played fetch. She was crazy but she was wonderful. She is no longer suffering but I will miss her more than words can say. Love you always, my Min. <3
(Source: larmoyante, via skittish-hands)
It was pouring when I took this. Amazing.
My wonderful friend @therobinbird sent me a little positive care package in the mail and made me this word search where all the words are some of my favorite things. Cutest thing ever! It made me sooo happy! Thank you so much, Robin! :)
