Yeah Ummm No Thanks
As we have established in previous posts we see patients from all walks of life, ages, and areas. Sometimes we get patients that are very young and through major abuses of their bodies are dealing with health problems that people 3 times their age deal with.
The patient I will talk about today was a gentleman in his early adulthood who looked to be in his early 50's. He was a chronic drug abuser(cocaine), alcoholic, and had a history of tracheal cancer. Due to the cancer he had a tracheostomy(hole in the neck through which he breathed) and a g-tube(a tube that goes directly into the stomach since he could no longer eat by mouth). I had actually caught him many times smoking cigarettes through his trach. I went to visit him one day and he was pouring beer down his g-tube. I proceeded to give him a long lecture about why he should not be putting alcohol down his g-tube due to the large amounts of medications he was on and the dangers of mixing those medications with alcohol. He listened intently for a few minutes, then calmly said "Well I was going to ask you if you wanted to get high with me, I guess that is out of the question?".

The second half of Big East play picks up for the Hoyas on Wednesday, with a home tilt against South Florida. At 6-3, two-and-a-half games behind conference leader Villanova with Pitt, Syracuse, and West Virginia filling the second through fourth spots, it looks like Georgetown's dream of a conference title are fading fast. Look a little closer, though, and the idea of the Hoyas being in the thick of the race in late February doesn't seem so far-fetched. Because of the Big East's imbalanced conference scheduling, Georgetown has played an inordinately hard schedule, leaving them with what will be a much easier road down the stretch. Let's take a team-by-team look:
Four road games remain, but they are against Providence, Rutgers, Louisville, and West Virginia. It's more than reasonable to expect a 3-1 record in those games. The five remaining home games include two payback games (Syracuse, Nova), as well as some potentially challenging but very winnable games versus USF, Notre Dame, and Cincy. 5-0 is not unreasonable, even if 4-1 is probably more likely. I'm gonna say anything less than 13-5 is a pretty big disappointment, with 14-4 being a real possibility.
Villanova (nickname: the Scottie Reynolds)
Nova has cruised through an incredibly easy schedule thus far, having only had to play one of the other contenders (GU, in Philly). But in the second half of their season, the Wildcats will go through a brutal stretch, at one point playing on the road against each of the other four contenders in a three-week span. Throw in a tough final week (@ Cincy, vs. WVU), and it's hard to see how Nova will finish any better than 14-4.
Much like Nova, West Virginia loaded up on in-conference cupcakes and now actually has some tests coming up. Unlike Nova, they get most of them at home. They've got home-and-homes against both Pitt and Nova to complement trap road-games against Providence and UCONN and visits from the Hoyas and Bearcats. Managing splits in the home-and-homes would be a huge accomplishment, and getting through their other tests unscathed is highly unlikely. Looks like 12-6 or 13-5 for the 'Neers.
Pitt probably has the easiest remaining schedule of the five teams still in the race (and of course, as I type this they are getting completely outplayed by USF). The previously mentioned home-and-home against WVU looms large. A seven-day stretch that includes @Marquette, vs. Nova, @ ND will be tough, but you can expect them to come out of it 2-1. I'd be surprised if this team wasn't 13-5 or 14-4.
And this brings us to Syracuse. Apparently the Orange have been bribing the Big East schedule-maker. They play only one home-and-home against the other elite teams in the conference, and get two of the other three at home. So far they've gone 2-1 against that competition, with only a visit to Verizon and a visit from Villanova left. Games at Cincinnati and Louisville will also be challenging, but they should be able to get one of them. Don't expect them to lose at home again, though. This team is headed for 15-3, with 14-4 a remote possibility.
So there you have it: the Hoyas' chances are slim, but either second-place or a massive 14-4 tie at the top of the conference are both in play. Certainly, though, a bye in New York is very much in play if we can continue to be consistent. The next four games are key, as we should be favored in all four. If we manage to get through each of those unscathed, we'll head into the last five with a fighting chance.
(I apologize for the complete lack of cynicism in this FanPost. I hope the display of abundant, teenage delusion is acceptable to this global phenomenon's admins)

I have to confess, I eat at Tsunami at least twice a month – it's my favourite 'local' although it's not within walking distance. Not only do I eat here fortnightly, for the most part I eat nearly the same dishes each time: favourites include yellowtail jalapeno, duck and fois gras nigiri, beef with a truffle and terriyaki sauce, king crab tempura, tamago… The blackened cod is very good, though I usually find it too rich to eat often, both here and at Nobu…
Pretty much anything you'd expect to find in a good Japanese restaurant is here, including really fresh sashimi – there aren't many places I'd eat raw scallops, but I do here often.
The decor is 'dressed' regularly, though it could really do with the kind of overhaul that requires shutting it for a couple of weeks… We have our favourite staff, our water appears on our favourite table, they know which wine we like, they always accommodate us – what more could I ask? And as for the poor lady who complained about a lack of plates and attention, I can assure you that really must have been an exceptional event – I must have eaten here over a hundred times, and never experienced anything like that – genuinely!
There are times you want to get dressed up and head into town. Sometimes you just want to go local, wear your crappy cardigan and just enjoy the food. Don't expect this to be a particularly cheap option though – sashimi grade fish and shellfish is expensive wherever you go! I'll see you there…

As we close in on pitchers and catchers reporting, it seems like as good of time as any to ask, who on the current Reds roster will one day have a plaque in Cooperstown?
There is the obvious answer, Joey Votto. Votto better be in the Hall of Fame, and I am not trying to sound like an entitled fan, but if Votto is not in the Hall of Fame, there is a good chance his quarter of a billion dollar contract is a disaster (or he ends up being caught up in steroids or gambling, which seems unlikely).
Brandon Phillips? If he retired today, Phillips would need a ticket for the Hall of Fame, or maybe goes to hang out with Joey Votto when Votto gets in. But, lets say Phillips plays the next five seasons without a major drop off? He will than have been one of the best second baseman in the game for about a decade, and really is a well rounded player, and while his bat is nice (while nothing real special), he is one of the best defensive second baseman in the game today. I think you could make a case for Phillips, if he holds up for 4 or 5 more years.
Aroldis Chapman? He has done nothing yet to put him in the Hall of Fame, but having one of the best fastballs the game has ever seen gives him an obvious leg up.
Johnny Cueto? One of the best pitchers in the game today, but I don't think he will have the longevity. I don't see him being one of the best pitchers in the game in 2018.
Mat Latos? Maybe, he is doing great stuff at a young age and just looks like a horse out there. I could see him winning a few Cy Youngs, and putting up a Roy Halladay type of stretch, where he is one of the most dominant pitchers in the game, and he consistently pitches deep into games. Latos is one of the few pitchers I would take a gamble on and give a big contract.
Jay Bruce? He is going to have to take another step up, but it is possible. He is very good right now, and I think most agree that Bruce has not reached his potential.
Homer Bailey? The darkest of dark horses, right now, but Curt Schilling didn't do much before he turned 28, and I think he should be in the Hall of Fame. I don't know if Homer Bailey will quite turn that corner and become a late blooming ace or if he will simply become a decent number two or three who has flashes of greatness. If I had to bet, I would bet he remains and number two or three starter, but puts up a Cy Young caliber season as an outlier.
Billy Hamilton? I am nervous about a guy who is all speed, but he is doing things in the minors that really haven't been done before. Is he the next Ricky Henderson? It also isn't fair to put those expectations on anyone who has not played above AA.
Dusty Baker? If Dusty retired today, I don't see him making the Hall of Fame as a manager, but lets say the Reds go to the World Series three times in the next four seasons and win two of them. I think that is highly possible, given that most of the Reds players are young and/or under long term contract. His first year with the Reds was right around most of the Reds current greats MLB debut. He has watched Joey Votto, Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, Mike Leake, and Aroldis Chapman turn into very good to great MLB players. He has to get some credit for that.
Walt Jockety? He had a great run in St. Louis, a World Series ring, a winning record, many trips to the playoffs, in 2004 the Cardinals were the best team in baseball (even though the Red Sox buzz sawed them in the World Series), and he left the foundation in place for the Cards to continue to be a good team after he left. While, he did not lay the foundation for the Reds and owes a great debt to what he inherited from Dan O'Brien and Wayne Krivksy, he has made all the correct moves. There is nothing flashy about Walt, he is no Billy Beane, he did not revolutionize the game in any way, he just quietly makes good moves, and really limits crippling moves. His only embarrassing trade has been Mulder for Haren. He also has balls of steal, and is not afraid of the big moves and the big contracts (Votto, Latos, Chapman, Pujols contract, McGwire trade). I would put Walt in the Hall of Fame if he retired today, if the Reds win a World Series or two under his watch, he will be a no brainer. I worry about what happens after Walt retires, I hope somebody is being groomed in the organization to take over, because I would not be the least bit surprised if he retires after his contract ends in 2014.

Translate your website
WhiteBlack has no ready language files, but becomes a multilingual theme in few moments! You can translate it into German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish or any other language. It's RTL ready, so you may add a plugin and change the theme content to be shown as RTL.
This procedure needs some time and patience from you.
First thing you should do is create your own language file. To implement this you should install Poedit:
Then copy whiteblack.pot file to your computer.
Run Poedit and go to File/New catalog from POT file.
Choose the .pot file you've copied to use as a skeleton of your language. You'll get the list of messages and common phrases. Select a text you'd like to translate onto your language and enter changes in a lower field as shown on the screenshot:
You should enter new text to the field in the bottom of the window – it will be saved for each item automatically. Edit all the messages you need and save changes to the file before closing. Please, create, for instance the lg_LG file (or any other name by your suggestion). The program will create two files with similar names: .po and .mo.
When the translation is finished and saved, copy these two files to your server: wp-content/themes/whiteblack/theme/languages. Add the new file's name to your wp-config.php file inside of empty quotes in the line
define('WPLANG', ");
to make it look like this:
define('WPLANG', 'lg_LG');
In this line lg_LG is a sample code of any language you'd like to set.
Here is a list of language codes examples, which you can use:
de_DE means to translate your site into German
fr_FR means to translate into French
it_IT means Italian
pt_PT means to translate into Portuguese
es_ES means to translate your site into Spanish
ru_RU means to translate into Russian
and so on.
But the way your language is called is not that fundamental. Use letters or numbers – no matter. Just make sure you typed it correctly in wp-config.
You still can edit these files without a single problem! If you open a lg_LG.po with Poedit, you'll get the following list:
As about Contact Form texts, they are located in the language files of the Form Builder plugin, not the entire theme.
You can find them at: wp-content/plugins/contact-form-builder/languages

As Chattanooga television reporter Mike Costa tweeted this morning, the Chattanooga Times Free Press printed that Alabama, and not Atlanta, is facing San Francisco in Sunday's NFC Championship Game:
Bama is good @timesfreepress but I don't think they're in the NFC Championship game. twitter.com/JudeCostaNC9/s…— Mike Costa (@JudeCostaNC9) January 20, 2013
In accidentally putting the Crimson Tide in the NFC Championship, the Times Free Press managed to anger fans of both Atlanta and Alabama. Falcons fans are understandably angry at being compared to a college team on the eve of the franchise's first NFC Championship appearance since 2005, especially given the disrespect shown to their team by Vegas oddsmakers and the gambling public.
Alabama fans, on the other hand, are irate that the Times Free Press listed the Crimson Tide as 6-11 in the playoffs and 0-1 in the Super Bowl. Alabama has long claimed 23 Super Bowl wins, including the 1925, 1926, 1930, 1934, and 1941 Super Bowls. Those championships have long been disputed by other authorities, primarily because the Super Bowl was not played until 1967.

Brian as Good Cop: Saturday's individual display from beyond the arc was just awesome, and we still lost. What more can Rice do for this team? The fans have given up on this team this year, we are losing our two senior big men and no one plays defense. Why suffer through another 4-12 ACC season while receiving all sorts of individual accolades? Go get paid! Make some money in the pros.
Jeff as Bad Cop: Rice leave early? Why are we even talking about this? You know what the NBA likes? Big bodies. Look at Sean Williams and you see someone who got kicked out of school but still went in the first round because he had size, athletic ability and potential. The NBA doesn't want some overachieving College player from a bad team. Stay in school Rice, leaving would be a mistake.
Brian as Good Cop: Two words for you, Jeff. Chris. Paul. How'd leaving early work out for a fellow ACC guard? Also, Allen Iverson. Rice is an inch taller than both those dudes. So don't give me the size argument. Athletic ability? Well, if you saw the display on Saturday, you'd be singing a different tune on this one.
Suspect #2: Matt Ryan as #1 Draft Pick
Jeff as Good Cop: Ryan is going #1. This surprises even me but its true. When you have the number 1 pick in the draft you don't draft a defensive lineman the way the Texans passed up Reggie Bush, you draft an offensive stud. And as the second best quarterback to ever come out of BC (sorry Matt Hasselbeck) that is what Matt Ryan is, a stud. Girls love him more than Barack Obama and guys want to be him more than Tom Brady.
Brian as Bad Cop: #1 is a lot of pressure and I don't want that for my man Matty. It looks like the Dolphins are stuck with the #1 pick, but they need a lot more than just a QB. There are plenty of free agent QBs on the market. Sure up either the offensive or defensive lines by picking one of the Longs (OT Jake Long or DE Chris Long) with the #1 pick and go out and get a free agent QB.
Suspect #3: York not splitting time in net
Brian as Bad Cop: I started to wonder this on Friday night, but why isn't York at least giving a game or two to BC's backups (Margolin/Kremer)? For the 8 years that I've followed BC hockey, this is the first year York has gone with 1 netminder the entire season. In years past, we've had Schneider/Pearce, Kaltiainen/Schneider, Kaltiainen/Kelleher, and Clemmensen/Kelleher. But this year, its all on John Muse. His confidence seemed completely shot in our 3-2 loss to Providence. Seems to make sense to me to have thrown Kremer or Margolin in for at least a game or two.
Jeff as Good Cop: You are questioning Jerry York? The greatest college hockey coach of all time? What York sees that you don't is practice. Obviously these backups stink and have have no skill. Otherwise York would be playing them. How dare you question him.
Suspect #4: Red Sox beat down of the Eagles
Brian as Bad Cop: You are World Series champs and are beating down on a bunch of college kids ... by 24 runs. Did Big Papi use a metal bat in this game? How many runs give you a comfortable lead, here? This was a disgusting display and the Red Sox should be ashamed of themselves. I hope the Eagles are so disappointed that the Red Sox didn't let them hang with them that they defect and cheer for the Yankees this year.
Jeff as Good Cop: The Eagles have had some good baseball teams the last few years but this might not be one of them. The Eagles have played tight with the Sox before however this was sad, but also meaningless so BC just needs to shake it off before conference play.

Hi, guys! I'm off to San Francisco for the Foodbuzz Festival this morning! Wahoo! I'm SO excited to meet some of my "internet" friends! I'll be tweeting all weekend long, so be sure to follow me on Twitter!
Last night, I prepared the most delicious breakfast for this morning: Mom's Apple Crisp. It was heavenly!
I actually made two batches of apple crisp last night: one for me and one for Mal. I'm sure you can guess his & hers!
After breakfast, I finished packing my things into my carry-on suitcase. Surprisingly, it had plenty of room in it this time! Maybe I'm getting this packing thing down after all!
While packing-up this morning, I had to stop and take a photo of my pile of electronics. Ridiculous.
And then Murphy wanted to get his photo taken with Mom.
There were so many pug kisses!!!
And then a big pug yawn! So funny!
I'm rockin' my Health Living Summit t-shirt today!
Promptly at 6:15 AM, a Lincoln town car arrived at my apartment to take me to the airport. Pretty fancy, right? The Bertolli folks hooked me up! I traveled in style this morning!
Speaking of Bertolli… Thank you to the wonderful people at Bertolli for sponsoring my experience at the Foodbuzz Festival this weekend. I can't wait to meet the whole crew later today!
After a 5 minute ride, I arrived safely at the airport. I checked-in online last night and security took another 5 minutes, so now I have a couple of hours to kill before my flight departs.
I actually really like airports. It's sort of weird. When Mal and I travel together, we'll get to the airport like 3 hours before our flight departs. Usually, we eat a nice meal or get a cocktail, load-up on in-flight supplies (magazines, snacks, etc.) and people watch. We love it. I know, we're strange. I also need to write my Health post for this week, so I'm sure the time will fly!
I just grabbed a coffee and some water from Cosi to help propel me through my work.
I will have Wi-Fi on my flight, so be sure to check back for blogging and twitter updates!
See ya from the sky!

6 TV Showrunners Open Up About On-Screen Violence in an Emmy Roundtable Discussion
On-screen violence is a touchy and controversial topic — even for a veteran indie filmmaking maverick like Quentin Tarantino. However, 6 drama writer/creators, Alex Gansa, (Homeland), Aaron Sorkin (The Newsroom), D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones), Beau Willimon (House of Cards), Kevin Williamson (The Following), and Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) sit down for a roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter to talk openly and candidly about the subject of TV violence, as well as what it's like to run some of the most popular shows on television.

Sorkin on Sorkin: Learn Dialogue Techniques from the Man Himself
Speaking of Aaron Sorkin, if you haven't seen the first episode of The Newsroom, you should go check it out right now, or at least watch the first scene. In a recent GQ article, Sorkin writes about his own material, specifically how he arrives at the dialogue for the first scene in that episode of The Newsroom. Writing good dialogue is not easy, but knowing the real purpose of the scene and having a deep understanding of your characters will help the words flow out of you. Check out some excerpts from that GQ piece below. More »
Aaron Sorkin Gives a Lesson in Speedy Character Development in 'The Newsroom'
Not everyone can afford to pay for HBO — and there's a good number who just prefer not to watch it — but if you've been living under a rock for the past five or ten years, some of the best writing anywhere is happening on pay TV. If there has ever been a golden age for writers, it's right now, and it's on TV. For most movies the director is the auteur, but TV is the medium of the writer. They are allowed to take more chances and spread their wings over 10-12 hours of content in a pay TV season. Academy Award winner (The Social Network) Aaron Sorkin's new HBO show, The Newsroom, is pure Sorkinese (fast dialogue). Though that may not be everyone's cup of tea, his ability to sculpt characters with language cannot be understated. If you missed the first episode, it's now available online from the link below: More »

Another day, another fight announcement from ONE Fighting Championship although, in fairness, it's a good one.
Malaysia's number one mixed martial artist Adam Kayoom faces the fight of his life against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) legend Gregor Gracie in his hometown of Kuala Lumpur.
With 10,200 seats to fill in Stadium Negara, ONE FC needed to find a fighter the Malaysian crowd could really get behind and Kayoom could well be that man. He might not be famous internationally but his martial arts credentials are absolutely impeccable and he holds a black belt in both BJJ and Taekwondo and has won world titles in Muay Thai.
Coincidentally both fighters are coming off wins against the same opponent, Gracie fought his way to a lopsided decision win over Seok Mo Kim at ONE Fighting Championship: 'Champion vs Champion' last September while Kayoom took less than four minutes to drop the Korean and then submit him at DARE Championship 2/11 a few weeks later.
Gracie has a record of 6-1 and is rated by many as the most likely of the current crop of fighters to emerge from MMA's first family to make it to the top. Kayoom has only fought three times and is 2-1 but his only loss was by decision to an opponent who had 13 times as many fights as him.
It is Kayoom's achievements outside of MMA which are really remarkable, He is one of very few foreigners to have ever been ranked top ten at Rajadamnern Stadium, he has won world titles in both Muay Thai and Muay Khmer, is a three time Australian national BJJ champion, a South Brazilian BJJ champion and an Australian national Taekwondo champion.
While Kayoom will definitely be the underdog against a bigger and more experienced opponent there is no doubt that he has a more diverse skill set. Where Gracie should have the edge is on the ground because he is a two time BJJ world champion and one of the best grapplers in the entire MMA world.
Kayoom's stand up makes him a formidable opponent although Gracie will have the advantage in terms of both size and experience.One FC cannot be accused of giving the hometown fighter an easy ride and for me this is the most intriguing fight on the card so far.

As of Thursday, August 1, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- A "smash-and-grab" theft of a local convenience store, an individual accused of burglarizing four houses of worship, and a group charged with manufacturing methamphetamine have been true-billed by the Dougherty County grand jury Wednesday.
Curtis James Broner, Nicholas Alexander Davis, R.L. Davis Jr., Anthony Dawson and Albert Davis Wilson were each indicted by the grand jury for the May 14 "smash-and-grab" robbery of the BP No. 23 Food Mart at 3900 Gillionville Road. Each was charged with second degree burglary.
According to an earlier police report, officers of the Dougherty County Police Department had responded to the break-in call and followed the suspects' Chevrolet Malibu to a wooded area near Lockett Station and West Oakridge Roads, where the Malibu sustained damage and was abandoned by its occupants.
R.L. Davis, 20; Anthony Dawson, 17, and Nicholas Davis, 20, were later apprehended and charged with the break-in. Lottery tickets, cartons of cigarettes and other items which may have been taken from the convenience store were found in the car.
Greg Edwards, Dougherty County district attorney, said the suspects may also have been involved with another break-in at the Stop and Shop convenience store at 700 Cordele Road, which had taken place about an hour later. They were not indicted for that incident.
In the same case, Kevin Jamal Robinson was indicted for giving a false report of a crime to a law enforcement officer. Robinson, owner of the Malibu that police say was used in the break-in, falsely reported the car as stolen, authorities say.
In a separate case of theft, the grand jury indicted Willie James Hutto on four counts of burglary in the second degree, three counts of theft by taking and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony.
Hutto, 25 when arrested, is accused of burglarizing area churches from early February through late April -- specifically St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, 2605 Sylvester Road; Antioch Baptist Church, 3512 Moultrie Road; Berean Free Will Baptist Church, 512 Branch Road, and Albany Baptist Church, 3521 Sylvester Road. Hutto also is accused of taking a shopping cart belonging to Pic-N-Save.
In a case of drug manufacturing and possession, James Calvin Adam, Wyatt Adam Lastinger and Brenda Nicole Waller were each indicted on one count of manufacture of methamphetamine, one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, two counts of illegal substances near schools and one count of possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
In addition, Waller was indicted on one count of obstruction of an officer and one count of giving false information to a law enforcement officer. Adam also received an indictment on one count of window tint violation.

Response to
How do you know your watch was NEVER POLISHED ??
... you can't have a guarantee.
So it remains a matter of individual knowledge how Rolex delivered the original surface finish in the different parts.
Knowing the exact way of original polishing and phasing means you have handled a significant amount of unpolished cases of that specific aera which - especially for new collectors - is hard to achieve.
Even though reference stickers are available to buy for me a nice sign of most probably unpolished is an still existing reference sticker on the caseback in not too good condition
Happy hollidays,

Mmmm, case-back sticker is a good! >>

Nork is a popular Lobby problem, although I find it to be very height dependent. Start on the right side of the lobby, as for Willow, on the good rail. Nork goes up high with the left hand to a small crimper, above the arete hold on Willow. Now, cross through with the right hand all the way to the good crimp in the V-slot. This is painfully far unless you are super tall. Now, without matching, go directly up to a smallish crimper in the middle of the face, just left of the huge jug. Again, no matching, go way up high with the right hand to the Glue reinforced block with the two finger pocket hold. Bring the left hand up to a crimp, move the hands over the lip to more crimps, and finish by moving up to the top rail. Step up, move to the right and downclimb the easy route.

I stumbled across an good article with some interesting quotes. The whole article is here.
Tanny on how FAs effect draft:
Tannenbaum said their roster of impending free agents can become a tiebreaker on draft day.
"There's no magical answer, there's just the judgment of the best player on the board versus what's going to happen in free agency," Tannenbaum said. "Even if you don't get your first or second choice in free agency or the draft, there's going to be other opportunities. Again, those are great tiebreakers for us. If we feel like down the road we're going to have trouble getting a player back, that may break a tie in the draft room. Those are really hard judgment calls to make that you do when you're on the clock or formulating a strategy to go up a couple spots or move back."
Scouting Director Clinkscales on what Rex wants from OLBs:
Director of college scouting Joey Clinkscales acknowledged that projections can be tough, but outlined a specific set of criteria they look for when moving a guy who plays down to linebacker -- for instance, Arizona's Brooks Reed.
"The first thing we're looking for is can he rush the passer, because in the defense we want to play, Rex wants a guy that can rush the passer," Clinkscales said. "For a rush backer, dropping in coverages is probably only 15 percent of what he does. So he needs to be smart, he needs to have good hand use, he needs to have quick feet, and again have a demeanor to be hungry to get to the quarterback."
Clinkscales on Phil Taylor:
"He probably does have some feet issues," Clinkscales said. "You're talking about a guy that was once 380 pounds that's 335 ponds now. Phil's a good player; he's a 2-gap nose player. He's strong, he's physical. ... He's a good football player. I don't think in the long term if you're looking throughout a contract that the feet will be a big issue. But again, you're looking for a guy that can help you now, and he and many others have the chance to do that."

Who cares?November 5, 2010 at 6:02 a.m.
I have to question the election of the DA. The press meeting about the major arrest was the key in Tyler's reelection. I also wish someone would analyze the low turnout in this election and the makeup of the voters.November 4, 2010 at 3:07 a.m.
My apologies, I overlooked the first time you asked that. My answer is still genuine.
Please note that I said "not NEARLY as much" homework. I've done plenty of research on the other races, but as I said, Ocker was the only candidate I found who had common ideals that was running against someone with conflicting ideals. It was an inspiring situation. Frankly, I didn't see much choice in the other races. (I'll skip your subsequent references to me not doing my homework.)
You're right, there's no way to prove how many votes the article may have cost him, but I'm not hanging my hat on it costing the election because I'm sure there were opportunities missed to gain votes elsewhere. It doesn't change the absurdity of quoting a political rival and an ex-brother-in-law.
I'd like to have civil discussions that center more on the state of government and less on childish word games (as others play) that don't deal with the (de)merits my of opinions AS STATED. The election is over, and I'm not Matt Ocker. If you truly had some common ground with Matt before things soured, why can't you and I keep this about improving our government in a respectful way. If you don't think there's room for improvement, we probably can't have a fruitful discussion, but if you think it can be improved, I'd love to hear your ideas. I plan to engage the County government more directly as the needs of my 2-month-old son allow, much like I did in City government for a spell. Yes, I attended meetings, spoke on a few occasions, and engaged the Council members, and I enjoyed being a part of it. It's amazing how easy it is to be a part of the process when the meetings are in the evenings and are televised & hosted online and meeting minutes are put online.
So, if you're interested, please refrain from projecting your ill feelings for Matt onto me. I can handle the vitriol of the other guys because I know they have no interest in civil discourse, but if you care about YOUR government like I do and want to work toward optimizing it's effectiveness & efficiency in representing & working for us, then we can keep agreeing to disagree instead disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. We don't have to agree on the issues, but we can agree to act as if we're sitting across the table from each other. It's your call.November 3, 2010 at 9:52 p.m.
ViCad...your spiel towards Tyler was a little back handed, no? Was his race any closer than Pozzis? How do you explain his (Pozzi) close call with defeat? What caution should he exercise, to avoid a loss next election, since his campaign was won by less than 1,000 votes? Your comments towards Tyler vs the ones towards Pozzi are polar opposites. You are, in essence, not following your own advice that is spelled out in your headline.November 3, 2010 at 8:58 p.m.

spyderandfly said: "I even think the phone numbers are made public."
I've never said public officials are inaccessible. I've said accessibility could be improved through public-friendly meeting times. You're arguing with things I haven't said.November 3, 2010 at 7:01 p.m.
BS stated:"I've also made it clear that I'm not looking to improve transparency & accessibility for myself — it needs to be improved for the masses."
Wow, well that's a relief because I'm pretty sure that the staff, CC, etc. are available to more than just you. If I'm not mistaken, I think they'll talk to anyone who's interested (which now is obvious your genuinely not - too easy to bark and accuse without accountability, right?).
I even think the phone numbers are made public. Weird.November 3, 2010 at 5:38 p.m.
BS stated: "No, he didn't do himself any favors by having heated discussions on this website, and he knows how I feel about it."
hmmmm. "and he knows how I feel about it."
Awful intimate statement from someone who is simply an independent citizen with no connection to MO other than agreeing with his political views.
Perhaps it was one of those simple phone calls that are so easy to make to Matt for clarification but seemingly impossible to make to county staff to get other answers.
hmmmmmm.November 3, 2010 at 5:27 p.m.
I've been very clear on my position on waste, and it centers on the dishonest method used to increase revenue that likely results in unnecessary expenditures. Don Pozzi himself has said there was waste, so feel free to make a case against him.
I've also made it clear that I'm not looking to improve transparency & accessibility for myself — it needs to be improved for the masses.
I've never claimed that anyone has refused to answer my questions.
Do you not think these basic things should be features in our government?November 3, 2010 at 5:17 p.m.
BS stated: "Which facts am I ignoring?"
First off, I can't believe that I'm actually foolish enough to respond and AGAIN point this out for what the fifth or sixth time?
All of your hollow arguments and accusations are derived from some core belief that tax dollars are being wasted in some manner.
The FACT, sir, is that you refuse to educate yourself by contacting those who are responsible for creating the budget (county staff, court, etc.). FACT - You cry about accessibility yet refuse to access.
Perhaps because exposing the truth dispells the argument and makes you look foolish?
So, once again, who refused to provide you information when you requested to learn about their justifications for expenditures?????
Go ahead now, we know the routine . . . (will it be "a," "b" or "c" this time?)
A. Answer with a question (redirect)November 3, 2010 at 5:03 p.m.
B. Ignore
C. Respond and change topic to avoid question (redirect)
TxHunter said: "Have you done as much homework on opposing candidates in all the other races that you voted for?"
No, not nearly as much because I haven't found another candidate with ideals worth supporting in this election. If I had, I would have.
TxHunter said: "One of my problems with every election is all of the mud slinging that goes on."
I have not personally attacked Don Pozzi. I have only criticized his policies and political doublespeak. I've tried to focus on the issues.
TxHunter said: "I know the Advocate didn't do MO any favors but again he did enough to lose enough votes on his own. Still haven't heard you admit that."
I haven't been asked to admit that. No, he didn't do himself any favors by having heated discussions on this website, and he knows how I feel about it. I think he was drawn into discussions he should have avoided, but I don't think it cost him 322 net swing votes, though, because I think he also won votes on this website over time from voters with similar sensibilities. And no, the Advocate didn't do him any favors, which did cost him more than 322+ swing votes. I also know that 322+ votes could have been gained in ways that weren't tried. So, I'm not placing blame, just acknowledging that he would have won if that article hadn't been published, everything else being equal. Do you disagree?November 3, 2010 at 5:01 p.m.
TxHunter said: "Absolutely not because I do not have any personal ties with my candadate of choice."
I didn't say anything about having personal ties with a candidate. Again, if you thought your candidate of choice (how you choose is up to you) was being wrongfully injured by false statements, you wouldn't speak up about it? Why not?November 3, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
spyderandfly said: "... and facts remain facts no matter which ones you choose to ignore."
Which facts am I ignoring?
Please comment on these facts: www.tinyurl.com/Pozzi-RhetoricNovember 3, 2010 at 4:10 p.m.
To the Victoria Advocate, I thought your comment "your lack of teamwork was apparently why the race you fought hard was a close one" was totally unnecessary.November 3, 2010 at 3:06 p.m.
BS Stated: " As long as the facts don't change, my opinion of them won't change."
. . . and facts remain facts no matter which ones you choose to ignore.
hollow argument. *yawn*November 3, 2010 at 2:42 p.m.
I'm holding them accountable for disseminating false notions both before (publishing ads with false info) and after (this editorial) the election. (Would you not do the same if it injured your candidate of choice? They did what I'm doing now in a front-page article on Tyler & Branch.) I have no way of measuring what effect that had on Matt's campaign, but it's irrelevant in this context. It still stands: the Advocate is using political rhetoric in an editorial entitled, "Let's move past campaign rhetoric".November 3, 2010 at 2:27 p.m.
TxHunter said: "Could have fooled me."
Did you miss that I'm pointing out the Advocate's political rhetoric in an editorial entitled, "Let's move past campaign rhetoric"? That was not a randomly-placed comment.
Should I change my opinion of Don Pozzi now that the election is over? I've expressed repeatedly that I'm an autonomous citizen who's driven by my own concerns. You can expect more of the same for years to come, but at some point you'll need to get beyond dismissing my opinion as solely motivated by this election. As long as the facts don't change, my opinion of them won't change.
So there's no confusion:November 3, 2010 at 1:35 p.m.
I completely accept that "the people have spoken" and nothing I can say or do can change the results. That doesn't mean I'm going to give anyone a pass for this kind of political puffery.
TxHunter said: "You are right. THe people have spoken and Don Pozzi is still our county judge."
You totally missed my point, intentionally or not. Of course I'm struggling with this, but these are not sour grapes. I agree that the people have spoken, so naturally I disagree with the Advocate's application of the cited double standard. And I didn't initially say "the people have spoken" — the Advocate did. But I'm glad you got to throw in a jab anyway.November 3, 2010 at 1:02 p.m.
Mike said: "... we can't prove one way or the other."
We can't have it both ways either. Either the "people have spoken", or they haven't.November 3, 2010 at 12:14 p.m.
I don't want to beleaguer the point but we can't prove one way or the other, what the people thought..... They pushed that republican button and walked out of the voting booth.... You can go back and forth all day, using straw man arguments but that's all they are.... They could have been die-hard republicans, pushed the wrong button, or had a well meaning message to give.... It's all subjective.

Are you suggesting those voters didn't know what they were doing when they voted straight ticket GOP? Either "the people have spoken" or they haven't. Which is it?November 3, 2010 at 11:52 a.m.
But "the people have spoken."November 3, 2010 at 11:31 a.m.
I think republican straight line party voting had a lot to do with the results.November 3, 2010 at 11:20 a.m.
VicAd to Tyler:
"Your lack of teamwork was apparently why the race you fought hard in was a close one."
What does an even tighter race mean for the County Judge incumbent?
VicAd to Pozzi:
"The people have spoken, and they have determined they are satisfied with your leadership, fiscal management and forward thinking."
"We urge you to continue... working toward transparency for your constituents."
Continue? Let's move past campaign rhetoric? Pozzi's stance on transparency was nothing but rhetoric & lip service and wouldn't have been part of the discussion without a challenge!
Fiscal management? www.tinyurl.com/Pozzi-Rhetoric
Why is the County Judge race an indication the people are happy with the status quo while the DA race with a larger margin of victory is an indication that something needs to change?
How is it an indication of a job well-done when Pozzi narrowly defeated a guy who was assassinated in a lengthy front-page article (with a psych evaluation from a political rival) and raised (unsolicited) only a tiny fraction of Pozzi purse? One could say it lends credence to the challenger's ideas. This citizen thinks the challenger provided a public service by raising important questions about County government finances & operations. Time will tell.
Anyone else detecting a double standard here?November 3, 2010 at 11:07 a.m.

Cook County - A South Georgia park is offering frightful family fun this Halloween.
Reed Bingham State Park kicked off its annual fall festival last weekend. There are spooky hay rides through the forest, a haunted beach house, and everyone's favorite, "Eyes in the Dark" boat rides.
You're guaranteed to spot one of the park's huge alligators swimming in the Little River. "They were big and they had big, red scary eyes," said Nathan Johnson, Park Guest.
Last year, more than 4,000 people attended the Fall Festival and they're expecting a bigger crowd this year.
The events run on Friday and Saturday nights through Halloween.

DataDyne Video Interview: Stressing Affordable Technology
Joel Selanikio ON 15 October 2012
I was pleased to attend the recent USAID-funded Global Youth Economic Conference here in Washington, DC. After my session, I got to speak with the people at Microlinks (which "aims to extend and multiply the impact of the learning and innovation developed through microenterprise research and practice") about the impact of the mobile phone and the importance of truly affordable technology.
As I discuss in the video interview, if you have development technology that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions, that severely limits the number of "experiments" that development practitioners can do with that technology over time — compared with something like Facebook or Twitter or our own EpiSurveyor (soon to be Magpi) that is free.

Yongguk got a giant teddy bear and Zelo said he once had a dream that the bear was laughing and walking on the first floor while he was on the 2nd floor (of the bunk bed). Yongguk was a bit scared from Zelo's dream and he quietly said, "..I still have that bear." Himchan claims that he puts the bear under the bed but it comes back out.
A fan said to Yongguk one of his lines from his lyrics of his underground songs and after the performance ended, he was caught with his head down in the corner.
Fan: "Oppa, guess what my name is?"Yongguk: "Uh..hrm..I'm not sure."Fan: "Okay."Yongguk: "Why are you being like this..tell me.."
Whenever Himchan has worries, he goes to Yongguk to consult it over since he says he helps him solve out his problems well and that he learns a lot from him.
Fan: "Oppa, I can't look at you because you're so blinding!"Himchan: "What, you've been looking at me directly fine all this time."
At a fan signing, a pretty fan came and Himchan said, "Uh? Didn't you come in our last fan signing? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.." and the fan responded, "This is my first fan meetingㅡㅡ"
Another pretty fan came to a fan signing and Himchan asked, "How old are you?" The fan responded, "19~" and Himchan replied saying, "Do you want to marry oppa?" (T/N: 19 is the legal age in Korea…)
In their last performance for promotions, Himchan said, "If you cheat on us until we come back..you're all dead~" and the fans responded, "Then try killing us!"
A fan brought binoculars at a fan meet and Himchan imitated her.
When a fan said Himchan was good looking at a fan signing, he said Daehyun was better looking. Then Daehyun responded, "Ah..what are you talking about.."
Himchan and Daehyun watch and imitate dramas together so Daehyun will throw a line like, "Oppa, I need money" and Himchan will respond, "I'll fight them up front!" (T/N: "맞서싸울게, his line in Warrior)
Daehyun said in a couple of years, he's going to ask permission from their company CEO to get married.
Daehyun claims that he didn't cry during the recording of It's All Lies.
Daehyun really likes eating so a male fan bought him cheesecake one day. As he held onto the handle of the cheesecake box, he said "Chee~se↘Ca↗ke~" The next time he saw the same male fan, he told him, "Uh? It's cheesecake! ..I..like chocolate cake too.."
Daehyun says "Wow" when he sees Jongup's body, but sighs when he sees his own.
On their way out of Music Core, a fan had meant to hand to Daehyun a gift with a handwritten letter in a small shopping bag but due to so many fans crowding, she dropped the bag. However, Daehyun picked it up and smiled at the fan saying, "This was for me, right? Thank you."
A fan went to her third fan signing and she hasn't held hands with Himchan ever (T/N: normally it's a given to hold hands) and when she told Himchan this, he roughly took her hand and laced fingers with hers and said, "Then we can hold hands now."
At a fan signing, a fan said to Jongup, "Oppa! Wash my dishes please!" and he said he will when he has time.
Jongup claims that his ideals aren't older girls. He wrote that when he was really young and didn't know much. Now, he claims that he just likes them if he does.
A fan asked Jongup to draw one more heart at a fan signing and he said if he did, the fan would have to pay.
the pitiful life of an i-fan can only dream this

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - A formal dedication has been held for Grand Valley State University's L. William Seidman Center in downtown Grand Rapids.
Hundreds of donors who helped the Allendale school raise $40 million for construction attended an event on Wednesday.
The center is named for Bill Seidman, founding chairman of Grand Valley's Board of Trustees and former Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation chairman. The school says several members of the Seidman family attended the dedication event and toured the building.
The four-story center supports 142 faculty and staff in the Seidman College of Business and also houses a number of other offices. In its 40-year history, the Seidman College of Business has grown from 145 students to more than 3,000 students.

separating Fact from fiction in the wic/potato debate
Since USDA proposed its rule to allow all fresh fruits and vegetables – except white potatoes – to be included in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the U.S. potato industry has worked to educate federal decision makers about the benefits of also allowing nutritious potatoes into the program.
Some people point to a 2005 report by the Institute of Medicine, which used now-obsolete nutritional recommendations and outdated consumption data from the mid-1990s to justify excluding potatoes from the program. U.S. potato growers believe that USDA should base its nutritional policies on today's science and the most up-to-date consumption data.
Potatoes contain high amounts of potassium and dietary fiber – two vital nutrients that are under-consumed by WIC-participating mothers and their children – and, at $0.19 per serving, help participants stretch their WIC vouchers. Since WIC participants are not meeting their recommended intake levels of starchy vegetables, as identified in USDA's 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, adding potatoes to the program will help eliminate that consumption gap.
Given that WIC vouchers can be used to purchase potatoes at farmers markets but not at grocery stores, removing the ban on the purchase of fresh white potatoes in grocery stores adds consistency to the program and eliminates confusion.

2014 Potato Statistical yearbook now available online
NPC is pleased to announce that its 2014 Potato Statistical Yearbook – an invaluable and comprehensive resource for growers, industry members, academics, and policy makers – will be arriving in mailboxes over the next few weeks. In addition to the most recent data on potato production, disposition and value of U.S. potatoes, the yearbook includes NPC public policy briefs, a USPB domestic and international marketing update, and potato nutrition and data quick facts for easy reference throughout the year.
NPC would like to thank the industry advertisers and its 2014 Grower Supporters and Sustaining Members for once again making the printing and distribution of the yearbook possible.
A digital version of the 2014 Potato Statistical Yearbook can be found here.
The Commodity-Specific Food Safety Guidelines for the Production, Harvest, Storage, and Packing of Potatoes is available for industry members to help ensure the continued safety of U.S.-grown potatoes.
This document offers food safety guidance for all companies that produce, harvest, store, pack, and transport potatoes. It also serves as a basic guideline to harmonize all existing food safety programs in how they assess and address food safety hazards. The guidelines are broken down into four sections: I) General Practices, II) Production and Harvest Operations, III) Storage Unit Operations and IV) Packinghouse Unit Operations. Each section lists a set of best practices to address potential food safety issues associated with those specific operations.

COMANCHE CO., Okla_ Bethel Road
Volunteer firefighters have a new and improved way to put out fires.
They recently
bought a new truck that pumps out more than 1,200 gallons per minute. That's
three times more than their old truck could. The truck arrived Thursday, and
the plan is to get it in service within a week.
It gives them a
truck that is able to respond to structure fires. Their old trucks were more
suitable for small fires and brush fires. This truck means they will be able to
save more homes. Another advantage of the truck compared to the old one is accessibility.
Bethel Fire Chief
Guy Shipley said the crews will be able to start fighting fires faster than
"Our air packs
will be mounted in the seats to where we won't have to be digging them out of
the trucks," Shipley said. "They'll be mounted. You'll put them on, more or
less, backpack style while you're sitting on the way to a run. That way when
you get out of a truck, you got your air pack on. You're ready to go… From
leaving the station to being able to fight fire, I bet it'll save 7 to 8
The truck will
not respond just to fires. Shipley said half their calls are medical, whether
it is a call to a home or a wreck. He said they often get there before
ambulances do, many times at night. The new truck has a lighting system he said
will keep everyone safe.
dangerous out on the highway whenever you're running a truck that doesn't have
a lot of lights on it," Shipley said. "The more lit up you can be, the safer
you are."
60 percent of
the truck's price tag was covered by money generated by a county sales tax that
went into effect in 2007. The rest was raised by Bethel's own operating funds. He said it is
not the first time they have been helped by the county tax.
"We've got
a newer brush truck that the county tax helped fund," Shipley said. "I
know that's coming back up to vote, and I just wanted everybody to know without
that county tax, we wouldn't be able to buy new equipment like we are."
Shipley was
reluctant to disclose the cost of the truck, saying his volunteer fire
department board members would rather him not. All he would tell me was they
got it cheaper than he expected. He had to drive to Wisconsin to get it, but he said it was well
worth the drive. It needed no repairs and only had 30,000 miles.

Murder on the Rue Dauphine
A Strange Twist
Prosecutors quickly charged Chidester with first-degree murder. Under Louisiana law, the intentional killing of another person during the commission of certain violent felonies qualifies as first-degree murder and allows prosecutors to seek the death penalty.
Chidester had admitted to police that after stabbing Ramon Martinez to death he'd stolen the priest's wallet. Armed robbery is one of the felonies listed in the state's first-degree murder statute. Despite Chidester's claims, the cops and the district attorney saw Ramon's murder as part of an armed robbery, not some sordid arrangement to trade sex for money.
The DA announced he was seeking the death penalty.
In the spring of 1999, however, state district Judge Charles Elloie tossed a wrench into the DA's plans when he granted Chidester a lunacy hearing. After listening to testimony from more than one court-appointed psychiatrist, the judge ruled that Father Ramon Martinez's accused killer was not capable of understanding the proceedings against him or of assisting with his own defense, both legal requirements for standing trial in a criminal case.
On March 9, 1999, the judge ordered Chidester shipped off to the state's psychiatric hospital, a peaceful campus tucked away in the piney woods of East Feliciana Parish, 100 miles north of New Orleans.
After two years in the hospital, and a lot of medication, Chidester's doctors decided he was competent to stand trial. The state had not backed off during the intervening two years and announced it was still seeking the death penalty.
Then, on the Friday before the trial was scheduled to begin, Chidester withdrew his plea of not guilty to the first-degree murder charge and pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Almost immediately, Judge Elloie sentenced the then-22-year-old former street hustler to 25 years in prison. The judge wished Chidester luck and thanked him for sparing everyone what had promised to be a remarkably sordid trial.
Under Louisiana law, Chidester cannot be released until he serves at least 85 percent of his sentence, or 21 years. He will be eligible for parole sometime around 2019.

MCP Project 52 Week 19 Recap & Theme for Week 20!
So this week's theme has been "Window Light" It's been great watching all of the entries flood in! I've got to say everyone did a great job but seeing I have to pick ten to showcase, here are my top picks!!
By Sipeki

If you've been featured this week one of the moderators will be adding the I've Been Featured badge into the comments for your Flickr photo. Feel free to take this badge and use it on your blog, Facebook etc. And everyone who joins the MCP Project 52 is welcome to use the 'I'm a Participant' badge, grab the code and use as you like.
If you want your image to be considered for the blog you will have to upload your interpretations of the theme between Saturday, the 14th of May and Friday, the 20th of May. Make sure we can grab the HTML/BBC code on flickr so we can link directly to it. Otherwise there is a catch up 'grace' period on the weekend of May 21/22 after which that theme will be closed off as far as submissions to the group pool are concerned. Of course you are free to create your own Project 52 album following the themes (or not) for your own enjoyment to a time schedule that works for you.
Code – </center

Next weeks theme is Spring Fever! To start it off right, I thought I'd share my take on the theme! I always get home from work and sit on my love seat and edit photos or just watch some netflix reruns of MacGuyver with my boyfriend and stare off at the baby birds being fed by their mommy! I particularly like this shot, of the many I took, because it has a certain moment to it. The moment of patience. You can see the birds being (semi) patient as the mom goes off to get more food to feed them. But in this moment you can see the mother flying back in to feed them. Even though the mother isn't THERE, she's there.
This weeks blog post and photo compilation of the past weeks theme was done by Sarah! of Sarah Heppell Photography. She's a twenty-something Upstate New Yorker who enjoys capturing texture and color. She just opened her own photo space which she's beyond excited to meet with clients in her own space rather than a coffee shop!

Youth CAB
- Are you aged 18-25?
- Unemployed or in further education?
- Looking for a new challenge?
If so, then volunteer and get involved with an exciting new service from North Ayrshire Citizens Advice.
Youth CAB is a youth support service run by young people, for young people. By volunteering to the Youth CAB service you will:
- Make a contribution to your local community
- Learn new skills
- Build valuable work experience
- Add to your CV for future employers to see
- Access free training
- Deal with issues relating to young people
Because Youth Matter
Youth CAB aims to provide a range of services to meet the personal and social development needs of young people. There is evidence that young people are reluctant to use mainstream advice services, however, there is some evidence to suggest that where a mainstream organisation sets up a dedicated young people's service that is integrated with other local services for young people, it presents less of a barrier to access.
The problems young people face can be very complex, often requiring some level of support as well as practical or legal help. This is one of the reasons why we are developing information, advice and counselling services, aimed specifically at assisting young people, to help them deal with a range of issues specific to them.
Youth CAB aims to address the barriers they face and help young people to resolve the problems and issues that they may have. Youth CAB will develop a range of services to address problems that young people face, including:
- Bullying and harassment
- Anti-social behaviour
- Drugs and alcohol misuse
- Unemployment
- Domestic violence

Backpacker Magazine – November 2009
Wine making and hiking come together perfectly in the Sonoma Valley, where California meets the Mediterranean.
Sonoma Valley's Wine Country | Pacific Northwest's Salmon Run | Maui's Nakalele Blowhole
The Wonder
For 7,000 years, grapes–or more accurately, the wine they produce–have wowed humans worldwide. Winemaking and hiking come together perfectly in Northern California, where Russian colonists planted the area's first grapes in 1812. Vineyards flourished in Sonoma and Napa Valleys' hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters; the area now produces some of the world's best wines.
The Way
From Santa Rosa, take US 12 east past Glen Ellen to the Sonoma Valley Regional Park. From the gate at the end of the lot, pick up an unmarked trail for a four-mile out-and-back. During summer and fall, hike through sun-dried fields of prairie grasses (flowers in spring) into California oak woodlands. Pause a quarter-mile in for sweeping views of the B.R. Cohn Winery. Silvery-green olive trees grow alongside the neat rows of grape vines. Apres hike, head a mile farther down US 12 to the winery. Wander through the eight acres of cabernet sauvignon grapes and 140-year-old olive groves. Then visit the tasting room ($10 to sample current vintages). brcohn.com; sonoma-county.org/parks
You've got to be kidding me. The making of wine is now a wonder of nature? I can see the draw for some people, but to put this is in with natural phenomena just seems silly.
My wife and I have enjoyed hiking the trails of Armstrong Redwoods State Park which is very near the Russian River vineyards in Sonoma County.

My recommendation is to hike the Sonoma Ridge and Mt. Trail loop here:
Then take the biodynamic wine tour here:
The two are right next to each other just outside the town of Sonoma.
