Kessler looked pretty good. Haussler was a stiff and was shorter so Kessler lit him up with jabs. He outboxed Haussler and knocked him out with a jab it seemed...He threw a combo and finished it up with the jab witch made Haussler fall flat on his back and he didnt beat the count.

168 is a wasteland. Arum should move Pavlik there...

Who the fuck is Haussler?

Who the fuck is Haussler?
a perennial euro-level contender... he actually fought in the us once (and lost to some bum I think). He had never been stopped before, and he fought decent punchers (Rudy Markussen, Mads Larsen....yes Danes are his curse).
Oct 26 2008, 08:08 AM
Haussler is a stiff from Europe...
I noticed the defense problems too Fitz. Kessler is not as quick in his feet and he's not elusive and has his defensive flaws. He's not ready for the elite YET.

Isn't he the elite at 168? I admit that at first glance Kessler seems robotic and he is. But he's not as mechanical as he seems. Just look at his outboxing Andrade compared to what Bute did.

Taylor-Kessler could be a very good fight!

Well he isn't a defensive genius, but I think he is ready for the elite. He may not beat all of the top guys but will beat some. He already gave Calazghe a good and tough fight.
He is there to be hit, but he isn't a bad all round fighter. I have liked Kessler for a while.
he fought Calzaghe with an injured right hand. Kessler is similar to Pavlik, actually better in some respects. I see him beating Taylor.
Oct 26 2008, 02:49 PM
I'd pick Kessler to beat Taylor and Pavlik. He's not a great fighter but he's certainly amongst the elite of the 168 division.
Oct 26 2008, 07:15 PM
When I said I elite I meant the P4Pers....Hopkins, Calzaghe, Dawson....he might beat Taylor but Taylor is a pretty damn good fighter who could look good vs. Kessler's somewhat robotic style. And of course he is elite in HIS division. Only Taylor can give him a good fight (and Winky too but I'm not sure where he is right now). Kessler can beat Bootay and all the others.
Oct 26 2008, 07:46 PM
Fitz, I know you think Kessler's the shit because he beat Mundine, and for some reason you've also thought highly of Mundine..
Hopkins shook up Calzgahe and dropped him and almost dropped him again in round 7. He held his own against Calzgahe but faded so badly and was hurt by body shots. But he held his own the first 7 rounds. I have the Kessler-Calzaghe fight but I really don't remember my scoring. I believe I had it 4-2 Kessler after 6 then Calzgahe swept the last 5/6 or 6/6
Oct 27 2008, 04:48 AM
I have to admit Kessler doesnt look that impressive to me when I see him fighting guys like Haussler or Sartison who just arent close to their level. Kessler clearly beats them with ease, but he doesnt look special. You wouldnt think he could keep his distance against Andrade as great as he did in that fight, but he could. You wouldnt think he could handle Mundines speed that great, but he could. You wouldnt think he could get off against Calzaghes agility and defense, but he could. Right now Kessler is definitely the number 1 at 168 for me. Based on both his resume and how he would look against the other top fighters.
I think he would clearly beat Pavlik and Id also pick him against Taylor, although Taylor is always dangerous with his handspeed and power behind his combinations. But just like when Taylor fights Pavlik, I think he doesnt catch Kessler perfectly, he loses a decision or even gets stopped late. Although Bute pretty much got KOd against Andrade, I think he would be a very difficult fight for Kessler also, but because Kessler was so competitive against Calzaghe, I think hed be able to land some more shots than Bute. Froch and Lacy always have that punchers chance, Inkin isnt anything special and probably wont fight any other top guy anyway and of course Ward and Dirrell are on their way up, also Abraham might join 168 in the future. Im excited about the division.
Oct 27 2008, 06:37 AM
Kessler isn't a top10 p4p but he is the man at 168 and would pick him over most in his division!
I don't think Kessler gets too much appriciation from many which is a shame because I think he is quite a good fighter! Yes he lacks a little in the defense department, but not every boxer has to have Mayweather/Hopkins defense, he is not exactly a human punching bag either!
IMO I think Kessler is much better than Pavlik! They are both heavy punches who come foward, yes! But I think difference is Pavlik only knows how to come foward where as Kessler can also box a little and has a very nice jab on him! I would take Kessler by UD or possibly a late KO!

Word on the street is that Kessler will fight another bum....making it his 3rd in a row.
The CEO
Oct 27 2008, 07:36 PM
but seriously....you know Miguel Kessler has developed a taste for bums...I can see him feasting on bums in Denmark 'til he's 35....
Oct 27 2008, 08:28 PM
That list of opponents tells me that he isn't fighting bums but the divison he's in is NOTHING special.
Calzgahe is obviously an elite top fighter.
Manny Siaca? Mundine? Nothing special. Andrade is okay...Beyer was another protected champion.
Kessler is obviously a level above all those guys but not yet at the level of a BHOP or Calzgahe
And I don't think him beating Pavlik is a sure thing. Please don't compare Kessler's experience and skillset to a legend like BHOP. I think Hopkins hits just as hard and is just as quick handspeed wise but it's easy to tell who the better fighter is between the two. Just cuz Pavlik got dominated (badly) doesn't mean everyone with a decent amount of skill can beat him.
Oct 27 2008, 08:37 PM
Fitz, I know your big on Mundine but to me he seems like a POOR MANS Zab Judah.....
He does have talent..but Mundine can't seem to win the big one...and P4P his chin might be wrose..
And don't get me wrong, that's a good thing considering how great Zab is.

I'm pretty sure it's got more to do with him being euro. I'm picking up a certain trend from you, lol.
You know it's not that.....lol....I'll go ahead and tell you what's behind me goin' after him a little....he is overrated by many Calzaghe fans, and I hate Calzaghe....
That being said....how am I being OVERLY critical when I've always said he was a B, B+ fighter and has fought 2 bums in a row after Calzaghe....it's just the truth....
and for the record...I never said Pavlik was an A either....
Oct 27 2008, 08:50 PM
Well to Zab's credit, he did win the big one once and won the 3 titles..
I agree Mundine has talent but like you said, hes wasting away his career fighting former 154 pounders like Crazy Kim and fighting Soliman for the 3rd or 4th time. Why not try to fight Bute?
And well Zab did get knocked silly against Tszyu but Money May beat the man who beat the man...and beat Zab.
Oct 27 2008, 09:09 PM
I dont think Kessler is overrated either! His only loss was to Joe Calzaghe! What is so bad about that!
Kessler-Taylor early 2009
Oct 28 2008, 03:26 AM
I see some people a knocking Mundine lol! His resume could be better but who ever wants to knock this guy for not being a good fighter or his skills..I want to ask how many minutes of footage have you guys seen of him?? have you guys even seen a full fight or 2 of him?? I think Mundine is an extremely good boxer who is a natural..and would also pick him over some top fighters...only if he grew a set of balls!! I have really lost alot of respect for Mundine..he is the biggest waste of talent and has thrown some pretty shit comments and statements which has lead me to think he is a bit of a cockhead!
People think if a boxer is not a top 10-20 fighter or not fighting in America they are automatically shit! I get the impression that many Americans are turned off by European fighters based on bad ref or judging in Europe which has left a bad taste which reflects on the fighters them selves!
Think about all the hundreds and thousands of boxer all around the world who fight! There has to be tons of great fighters who either still coming up, not fighting the best (Mundine is very guilty of this), shit management, or has not fought out of their country!!
Both Kessler/Pavlik are B level fighters (pavlik..possibly B- lol) I think the big difference with Kessler and Pavlik is Kessler is very under appriciated & Pavlik has got to be one of the most overrated fighters in the last 5 years or more!!! How did this guy get soo much respect from the fans and media?? based on what??? seriously..massive hype job!!
For the record I would favour Kessler over Lacy, Taylor, Miranda, Pavlik & Bute!
Oct 28 2008, 05:26 AM
I've seen a couple of Mundine fights. His 2nd fight with Soliman, Echols, Green and clips of his fights with Kessler, Manny Siaca, and other fights.
You know, with his cocky personality and talent (yes he does have good talent) he could've been a player at 168. I liked how he look vs. Sam Soliman in their rematch he looked really strong in that fight. But theres onlY SO many times you can keep beating Sam Soliman and he should've stepped up by now. Like I said, he is a poor mans Zab Judah or maybe a poor mans version of todays RJJ..
He could probably give Bute a run for his money...Bute should fight him if he isn't giving Andrade a rematch..
And I personally think Kessler is a level above everyone at SMW right now except for Taylor who I think can give him a good fight.

Looking at your coin collection, you might wonder what the 1922 silver dollar value is. The simple answer is that it is worth, $1. That's the face value of the coin as agreed by the US Government when they minted the coin.
On the other hand, the average 1922 Peace Dollar is made up of 90% pure silver and therefore contains 0.77oz of silver. When melted down and separated out into its constituent metals, the 1992 silver dollar value is about $27 at today's silver prices.
The coin also has a numismatic value of about $900 if it were in absolute MS/PR-65 condition. That means the coin would be in a "mint state" and just about perfect, in every way. This quality type of coin is generally only held by serious collectors or by accident by amateurs.
The rarity of this coin is the result of a couple of differing factors at the time. First of all, outside of collectors very few people were using silver dollar coins. The majority of dollar usage had switched to the much cheaper to produce and less "valuable" paper dollar bill.
Secondly, due to a lack of consumer interest and the preciousness of silver due to the war, there hadn't been any silver dollars minted for over a decade prior to 1921. The American people wanted to use a coin to commemorate the war so the issuance of the Peace Dollar coins satisfied that need, but also generated more interest in these particular coins.
Finally, the Pittman Act made sure that these coins had some historical significance. The Act called for older silver coins to be melted down into silver bullion and used to mint new coins. The idea was the minting new silver coins would increase the fortunes of the silver mining industry. By melting down the old under used silver coins, the American government would have excess silver that it could use to take pressure of it's gold reserves.
When you look at the variety of factors that can play a part in assessing the value of a coin, you gain a significant appreciation for coin valuers. So many factors can play a role in determining the value of a coin which obviously means to do the job well, the valuer needs to be across the context upon which the coin was minted and how that context works in favor or against the value of the actual coin.

It's Carnival!
Today Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie proposes you a typical recipe of Carnival time: delicious sweets called "Cenci" … yummi!!
In the Christian's tradition Carnival marks the moment of celebration before Lent, a period marked by fasting and penance; and like any respectable holiday …. it couldn't come without sweet!
Here is the recipe for the fabulous cenci: (from the book: I quaderni di cucina senese " Con Poco o Niente" by Andrea Maestri).
Make a dough enough firm with 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 10 gr (2,38 tsp or 0,35 oz) of butter and 100 gr (0,43 cup or 3,53 oz) of flour. Work the mixture well and roll out the dough about 3 mm ( 0,118 inches) high.
Cut the dough (you can use a small wheel for pasta or a jagged knife) into strips two fingers high and about 6/7 cm (2,75 inches) long.
Fry in hot oil, let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
P.s.: you can add to the mix (as my grandmother did) some grated orange peel or a small glass of 'vin santo" (or dry white wine).

THE DAYS OF THE BLACKBIRD – January 29TH/30TH/31ST
Hello everyone!
Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie is curious to know how you will spend the next few days (January 29th/30th/31st ) called the "days of the blackbird".Surely you know that by tradition these three days are considered to be the coldest of the year,but do you know why?
The legend tells that once January had only 28 days and every year it enjoyed to harass a beautiful white plumage blackbird. Indeed, it seems that whenever the little bird came out of the nest to find food,January sent on Earth icy weather and storms of snow.
One day,before the arrival of January,the cunning blackbird collected so many food that it was never needed to go out and could stay warm in the nest for all 28days of the month.January started feeling teased and asked February for three of its days so when the blackbird had came out,January would have been in time to send on Earth cold and frost. When the blackbird came out sure that icy weather was ended, January sent a storm of snow that the bird was no longer able to reach its nest and it was forced to shelter in a chimney pot. The poor bird remained there for three days and when it came out, its white feathers had become dark because of the soot….since then it is said that all blackbirds born with black plumage.
Here at Borgo Grondaie we have a beautiful fire place….you may visit us and check our blackbirds!
An old proverb says that when theese days are really cold, spring is not so far away…. So we hope and for now we wish you good freezing !!!

Hello everybody! Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie wants to share with you a simple but very tasty recipe directly from the Tuscan tradition i.e. "pici or spaghetti with cheese and pepper" (from the book "I Quaderni di Cucina Senese" by Andrea Maestri).
First, we explain what is pici: it's nothing more than a kind of pasta like fat spaghetti made with flour and water. Mix the flour with warm water and a pinch of salt to make a paste quite firm. Remove from mixing small pieces of paste and extend them quickly with your hands until they take form of spaghetti. The diameter should be about 3 mm. However, for those who do not want to engage in the production of home-made pasta, we recommend using the spaghetti of a measure rather large.
For the sauce: after cooking pici or spaghetti in salted water, drain the pasta "al dente"( neither overdone nor uncooked) and add extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, oregano, parmesan or pecorino and a spoon of cooking water. Mix well and … Enjoy your pasta !!!

After the recipe for Ricciarelli, Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie is happy to share with you the recipe for Panforte, the symbol of pastry of Siena. (From the book "I luoghi del gusto di Siena").
The history of Panforte refers back to medieval times when the trade of spices started and this cake can be considered a direct descendant of another kind of cake called " panpepato". The name of panforte (strong bread), refers to those sweets made from bread and honey, which were enriched with dried fruit and the moisture in it combined with sugars resulted in an acidic strong taste. With the introduction of spices coming from Asia, the preservation of the gingerbread was improved and extended. The spices spread to monasteries where religious experts prepared the first spiced bread in their fully equipped pharmaceutical laboratories. Over time, the tradition of the production of panforte by pharmaceutical plants was strongly maintained so that, starting from 'nineteenth century, from the oldest pharmacies in Siena derive the confectionery industry today.
The recipe has remained almost unchanged over the centuries, with some nice variation that gave birth to the black panforte that includes cocoa and panforte Margherita with a more delicate taste and covered with powdered sugar instead of pepper; this one is dedicated to the Queen Margaret of Savoia on a visit to Siena in 1879.
Here's the recipe for 10 people:
- 60 g of flour
- 150 g of honey
- 100 g of sugar
- 200 g of peeled and lightly toasted nuts (almonds and hazelnuts)
- Spices: an abundant sprinkling of cinnamon, a pinch of pepper, a sprinkling of nutmeg
- 200 g of candied citron
- 100 g candied orange peel
Cook together sugar and honey with a little 'of water, when the sugar is melted add the candied fruit (cut into small cubes) and bring to a boiling point, then pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the flour, a little sugar, spices and chopped nuts. Mix well and pour the mixture into a round baking pan lined with flour. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Allow to cool and dust the surface with icing sugar.

At Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie we like ricciarelli cookies, a typical Sienese delicacy made of almonds to be enjoyed especially during the Christmas season, but still very good all year round!
These delicious cookies seem to have origins in the Middle Ages, related to the production of marzipan that people from Siena certainly knew by the Crusaders returned from the East, and even the name seems to derive from "arricciatelli" to remember the shape of the slippers of the sultans of Orient.
This excellence got, in 2010, by the European Community , the IGP certification according to which the production phase must take place in a limited geographical area, in this case the territory of Siena.
Hoping to please all food lovers or just curious, here are the recipe for Ricciarelli (directly from the book "The places of taste in Siena"). Enjoy your cookies !!!
- 1 kg sweet almonds
- A small amount of bitter almonds, according to taste.
- 1,5 kg sugar baking powder
- Ammonium bicarbonate (3 g for every kg of dough) or baking powder (5 g for every kg of dough)
Grind the almonds, mix together all ingredients and knead until the paste is smooth and uniform. Weigh the paste and add baking powder as indicated. Shape into small lozenges and dust with powdered sugar. Bake on wafer or waxed paper for about 10 minutes in a 200°C oven.

Soon it will be Christmas and we are all accustomed to the image of the tree decorated with shimmering lights and many gifts at its feet. However, who really knows the origin of this tradition? At Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie we want to learn more about it.
We know that the image of the tree as a sacred symbol of life is a pagan theme known to all cultures in the ancient world, in the Middle Ages and only later assimilated by Christianity.
Christmas coincides with the period of the winter solstice and many civilizations of the ancient world considered this a prodigious event as in Egypt and Syria, where the victory of light over darkness was celebrated (in fact during the solstice the days get longer and announce the return of spring and therefore of life). In some traditions of northern Europe it was usual to burn a tree (a pine or fir tree) and the sparks represented the light of the days to come. Even the druids, ancient priests of the Celts, began to worship the trees during the winter solstice, and especially the fir, an evergreen tree, became a symbol of perpetual life. During the Middle Ages, on December 24th in Germany there was a game of Adam and Eve, a religious game where large fruit trees (symbol of abundance) were hoisted in the squares and asked to recreate the image of Paradise, just later the trees fruit were replaced with fir trees and it was also in Germany that instead of the fruit the first decorations in blown glass appeared. For a long time the tree tradition was typical of the north European areas. In 1816, this tradition began in Vienna at the behest of Princess Henrietta von Nassau-Weilburg, while in France it was thanks to the Duchess of Orleans in 1840. In Italy, the practice is widespread thanks to Queen Margaret in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Nowadays, during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II a new tradition has been started, the tradition of setting up a large Christmas tree in the heart of Catholicism that is St. Peter's Square in Rome. A Catholic interpretation is the one who wants the decoration of the tree as the celebration in remembrance of the wood of the Cross that saved the world … the lights symbolize the light that Jesus brings into the world and the gifts are the representation of Jesus 'generosity.
This is what history tells us…. then the legends are quite different:
- The first legend positions the tree in the Garden of Eden as the tree of life, and when Eve plucked the forbidden fruit the tree leaves withered and became pine needles until the birth of Jesus.
- A second one tells about Adam who, running away from Paradise, brought with him a small branch which later became the fir tree that was used for the Holy Cross.
- And even a story of a child who was lost in the forest and not knowing how to get home, took refuge at the foot of a fir tree that lowered its branches to protect it. In the morning, he realized that the snow and ice, fallen on the branches during the nights, had created many decorations shining to the sun.
- Another legend is connected to the miracle of S. Boniface, who came across some heathens, worshiping an oak tree; they were preparing the sacrifice of a little prince. St. Boniface felled the oak and in its place an evergreen fir, symbol of eternal life, appeared by miracle.

THE MARKET IN THE CAMPO SQUARE (Piazza del Campo). December, 15TH and 16th 2012. SIENA.
On December, 15th and 16th in Siena and more precisely in the heart of the city, in the beautiful Piazza del Campo, an extraordinary event will come back: "the market in the Campo Square," a real modern market that, both in terms of products or the arrangement of the sales counters (which will be a copy of those of the past), will propose an image of what the city market at the time of the Republic of Siena was. Two whole days to admire and taste the tradition of Siena with the quality of today.
In the thirteenth century, the "big market", which took place once a week in the square, was the main source of supply but also a place of social relations and important area of trade. The small farmers from the countryside and craftsmen were so numerous that at some point it became necessary to reorganize the market to make it less chaotic adopting a specific placement that will be reproduced during the event, in fact there will be a food area (once the queen of the market was the "treccola" , she who sold fruits and vegetables, legumes as well as milk and cheese, poultry and game) and another area dedicated to crafts (among the most known craftsmen were tanners, baskets makers, cobblers, sellers of barrels). In today's market it will be possible to find other excellence of the territory as producers of wine, saffron, bakers, goldsmiths, bookbinders and many others. Some craftsmen will perform live their creations and, as once part of the square was reserved for entertainment, games and activities will be organized to involve also the children.
On the occasion of the event it will be possible take guided tours at a cost of € 5.00 (free for children up to 11 years) to discover places of taste which ,over time, have distinguished Siena. Departure for the visits is scheduled at 11a.m. and 4p.m. from the information desk.
Some restaurants in the city will take part in the event offering typical food:
- ALL'ORTO DE PECCI ("pici" with garlic) pici, gnocchi and pappardelle are typical kind of pasta

THE FIFTH CENTENARY OF THE SISTINA CHAPEL. ROMA.Vatican Museum.
Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie makes best wishes to the Sistina Chapel for its wonderful 500 years! Five centuries later, this masterpiece is still admired by 5 millions people a year with peaks of 20.000 tourists a day. The Chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary of the Assumption, owes its name to the Pope Sisto IV who wanted to build an opulent room to accommodate the meetings of thePapal Court. When, in 1481, the architectonic structure was completed, famous artists such as Perugino, Pinturicchio, Sandro Botticelli, started painting the side walls of the Chapel where, from the bottom to top, it is possible to admire frescoes that look like tapestries, Moses and Jesus' life stories (Old and New Testament) and representations of the martyred Popes. It was up to the successor of Sisto IV, Pope Giulio II, to complete the decorations for which he called Michelangelo Buonarroti . At first Michelangelo, who already had produced at that time very important works like "The David" and "The Piety", was hesitant because he considered himself a sculptor and not a painter, but then he agreed to fresco the Vault of the Chapel. He started his masterpiece in 1508 working on a scaffold 20 meters(65 feet) high. He painted a 40 meters(131 feet) long and 13 meters(42 feet) wide surface always having his head facing upward. On October, 31st 1512 Michelangelo "gave his work back" to the Pope Giulio II who inaugurated the Chapel during the Vespers dedicated to the All Saints Day. All the frescoes painted by Michelangelo reproduce stories from the Old Testament as the "Genesis" , the "Creation of Adam and Eve", the "Original Sin", the "Fall fromParadise". The most famous is without doubt the Creation of Adam (who does not have in mind the image of the hand of God that lets the Adam's one going of ?). From 1536 to 1541 Michelangelo also completed the decoration of the wall behind the Altar representing the "Last Judgement". The Sistina Chapel has undergone an important renovation completed in 1994 which has brought to light very bright colours so much to completely change the idea (which once thought) that Michelangelo was interested in drawing than in colours.
Mr. Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums, reminds us that this place so full of charm, both for the magnificence and for what it represents ( it's the place where cardinals elect Pope), is nevertheless exposed to hazards such as dusts, temperature and the carbon dioxide emitted by the millions of visitors. That's the reason why it is hoped that in 2013 the dream of using a new air conditioning system (that allows to break down polluting agents, dusts and controls humidity) becomes reality.
We really hope so…..at least for the next 500 years!!!

Oneglass is an Italian company that has had a wonderful idea: a single-dose pocket size pack of wine (100 ml).
Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie was intrigued and wanted to know more about this novelty.
For the first time a 100 ml innovative packaging: lightweight, unbreakable and pocket-size…easy to use and to carry wherever you go.
This kind of packaging, that maintains all the organoleptic characteristics of the wine, is made of paper (75%), polyethylene (20%) and aluminium (5%); that's why it can be entirely recycled after use.
Considering the lower weight and reduced risk of breaking compared to a classic bottle, there are many possibilities of use: large shipments, special occasions such as day-trips or picnic; lunch break, canteen, self-service, wine tasting.
It also avoids waste because 100 ml is the right amount for tasting wine without having to open a bottle.
Oneglass sells four kinds of wine: two types of white ( Pinot Grigio and Vermentino) and two types of red ( Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese ).
At the Wine Business Summit ( platform for the exchange of new ideas and business for people in the wine industry coming from different backgrounds) at the Palais du Vin in Bruxelles on January 19th, 2013, Oneglass is in competition for the best innovative company in the wine industry. The winners will have the opportunity to raise their profile and give more visibility to their product.

Along the freeway Florence-Siena, one wonders what that new and futuristic building, that we find in Bargino village (near San Casciano Val di Pesa), could be.
It's the new Antinori's winary, the result of an ambitious project strongly wanted by Antinori's Family, who produces wine from 26 generations and, after five centuries, moves its headquarters from the center of Florence to the heart of "Chianti Classico".The cellar was built excavating in a hill and then covering the building with the ground.
On the roof, for didactic purposes, a vineyard was planted that brings together all the varieties of the Chianti vineyards, even those almost forgotten.
Inside the building there are three aisles 75 meters long, where, at a constant temperature of 17 degrees, barriques and barrels rest for a potential production of two and a half million bottles per year.
In addition to the winery and bottling area, the building consists of a museum, wine tasting areas, one restaurant, 250-seat auditorium, offices, and one wine store.
The project of the new winery (that has great respect for the Tuscan environment and landscape) is unique because combines architectural innovations and modern technologies of wine making with the Antinori's family tradition.
Opening is scheduled for February 2013.

Advice for a Successful Job Interview
I don't do well on job interviews because of anxiety and poor social skills. How can I improve?
Have your spouse or a friend ask typical job-interview questions—"What have you enjoyed most about your past positions? What strengths would you bring to this job?"—and videotape the "interview." Once you see yourself on tape, identify areas in which you need to improve. Meanwhile, you may consider a few sessions with an ADHD coach who specializes in social skills or career planning.
Dr. Michele Novotni is an internationally recognized expert in the field of ADHD. She is the former president and CEO of the national Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA), an inspiring speaker, best selling author, psychologist, coach and parent of a young adult with AD/HD. She is the author of Adult AD/HD and What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't?.

It's that spooky time again, when adults become kids. What a great excuse to play dress up and eat Snickers bars. But if you're not the type that likes wearing masks for Halloween, makeup can transfer your face into any look you desire – vampire, ghoul, zombie, princess or even one of your favorite celebrities. Wouldn't it be fun to be Nicki Minaj or Lady Gaga?
Novelty or Regular Makeup?
There are two popular options for your Halloween makeup. One is to use the real deal face paint that you can find at craft, costume or drug stores. If you want to go all out and need special effects like vampire blood dripping from your mouth or a gory vampire bite on your neck for example, face paint or special Halloween makeup kits would probably be the way to go.
Is It FDA Approved?
Some face paints and other items shouldn't be used near the eyes, so it's better to use eye makeup. Other products like glitter might not be made for use on the face. If you decide to use face paint, make sure it is safe to use on your skin and that it is made in the United States. The FDA has guidelines for ingredients that are safe for consumers. Color additives have to be approved by the FDA for use in cosmetics, including face paints and other cosmetics used around Halloween.
Do A Skin Patch Test
Just because a product is FDA-approved, it doesn't mean that your own skin will approve its usage. If you have never used a product before, test it out on your arm, like the bend of your elbow, two days before using it on your face. Certain ingredients can cause irritation to the skin, skin rashes, and sometimes minor swelling, depending on the individual.
Even if you used the product in the past, there could be a possibility that it could cause a reaction—ingredients could be different or the condition of your skin or body could be different. So it's always best to be on the safe side.
Keep An Eye on Your Eyes
Make sure that any products used near the eyes will not harm them. Particles can flake off and get into the eyes. Be gentle and careful when removing the makeup from around the eye area.
Allergic Reactions
When you appear at the party in your fierce Halloween costume and makeup, you definitely want to get a positive reaction. Just make sure it's the right reaction! To be on the safe side, have an antihistamine like Benadryl or a hydrocortisone cream on hand in case of a possible allerigc reaction. If you have a severe reaction, don't self-medicate. Consult your doctor immediately.
Safe Makeup Removal
Remove face paint according to the manufacturer's instructions on the package. Otherwise use a good makeup remover for the face and an eye makeup remover for around the eyes. These products are formulated to dissolve makeup ingredients. Removers that work for waterproof or long-lasting products would be good choices. Using an actual remover made for this purpose will also prevent you from having to rub too hard to remove the makeup and further irritate the skin. Thoroughly cleanse the skin to make sure all traces of makeup are removed to avoid clogging the pores and causing breakouts.
Visit the FDA site for more information on novelty makeup and safety tips.
Dip Into Your Makeup Bag
If this is a one-time event, though, you could end up with more novelty makeup than you'll use. So to save money you might want to dip into your makeup drawer.
Some products that you might have on hand that could work for your Halloween makeup look are glitters and shimmer gels and powders, metallic eye shadows, black kohl eyeliner and black nail polish. You can use this time to try out those over-the-top makeup looks from the runway or use that dreadful foundation that was way too light for your skin tone for the ghoul effect! Kidding aside, you can create a pasty ghost look with a foundation four to six shades lighter than what you normally use.
Consult How-To Videos, Then Do a Trial Run
Practice applying the makeup a night or two beforehand to perfect your look. There are some great You Tube videos that show how to apply Halloween makeup or how to look like certain celebrities. You Tube favorite Michelle Phan has created Elegant Masquerade, a great video for Lancôme that teaches you how to applying makeup under a masquerade mask.
The Finishing Touch
To set your look, use a barrier spray like Mehron Barrier Spray to keep your makeup from smearing or fading. And even though it's regular makeup, make sure you thoroughly cleanse your face before retiring for the night.
Have fun boo-tiful.

Seems like a very interesting, incentive based signing. I never loved him when he was with Florida but I guess he could be an average acquisition. I would rather spend a little more and get an injury prone guy like Sheets.
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Indians are in serious discussions with free agent starter Carl Pavano. Pavano will visit Cleveland soon and a deal could be wrapped up quickly. We'll have to see if Pavano can come close to the $2MM guaranteed Mike Hampton received from the Astros.

Gingrich's 'Apocalyptic...Fierceness' Over the Iran Threat Seen as 'Simplistic' by NYTimes
After trashing his warnings of a potential nuclear-based EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's policy prescriptions are once again in the sights of the New York Times. Campaign reporter Trip Gabriel suggested Gingrich had a simplistic vision of the Iran threat in Thursday's "Gingrich's Foreign Policy Words Summon the Cold War, but Enemy Is Iran."
Should Newt Gingrich become president, his foreign policy vision might remind many people of the cold war. But this time the threat would be from a nuclear-armed Iran rather than the Soviet Union.
Mr. Gingrich, who is fond of big overarching ideas, has yet to give a major foreign policy speech, but he has staked out positions while campaigning that suggest a nascent Gingrich Doctrine, one that looks to decades of struggle against radical Islam.
And just as during the cold war, Mr. Gingrich frames the challenges in stark terms that can have an apocalyptic ring, as when he described Palestinians as an "invented" people whose leadership seeks the destruction of Israel.
The fierceness of Mr. Gingrich's language, which has struck a chord with the Republican rank and file and fueled his rise to the top of the polls, also raises questions about the temperament he would bring to the White House when dealing with allies and adversaries.
Earlier in the nominating race it seemed that the Tea Party, with its call to eliminate foreign aid, might nudge Republicans in a more isolationist direction. But the emergence of Mr. Romney and Mr. Gingrich as the top candidates suggests the resurgence of neoconservative thinking, with its staunch support of Israel and unilateralist impulses abroad.
"It's very clear the speaker thinks of this as a long ideological struggle, a defining battle," said Ilan I. Berman, a vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council, whom Mr. Gingrich recently named one of 11 national security advisers.
But critics said the cold war analogy was simplistic. Daniel W. Drezner, a professor of international politics at Tufts University, said that in the last Republican debate, Mr. Gingrich hyperbolically overstated the threat from Iran, which has yet to acquire a nuclear weapon, by using the phrase "if we do survive" in discussing Iran's intentions.
Gabriel did some mind-reading in favor of Obama's re-election:
One reason Republican candidates are devoting so much attention to Iran and Israel is that Mr. Obama is not perceived as vulnerable in other parts of his foreign policy record. Osama bin Laden and the Libyan dictator Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi have been killed, and the president recently returned from an Asian trip that expanded trade and the American military footprint in the region.
Gabriel concluded with criticism from a Romney adviser who accused Gingrich of "calling people names."

The Rock Bottoms', The Stunners', The Tomb Stones' – I am sure these words are sufficient to attract your attention. I used to be (frankly, I still am) a big fan of the wrestling matches, and considered it as a source of entertainment rather than a sport. Hats off the think-tank whose vision and efforts transformed a classic sport into not only a popular entertainment source but also a money-minting Business.
Today we are witnessing that more and more sports are following the wresting way. I am sure that the model of IPL in our country is also not very different. Sports news is now a vital component of all the News related media. A number of channels, magazines, journals are dedicated to provide the latest updates of sports events going on over the globe. Stories about players, teams, dressing rooms and words form coaches are now making sport news a fully entertaining stuff.

Would pin 4 on the PQ12RF21 be the input from the turn signal?Originally Posted by luai78664
No. In this case pin #4 is not connected. The power cycling on the normal turn signal feed wire is fed into the Sharp regulator (PQ12RD21, PQ12RF21) and each time power goes off the circuit resets and starts over again.Originally Posted by wrenchturner1980
Do you need an adjustable rate turn signal flasher to leave power on long enough to get the speed of the sequence you want?Originally Posted by azdave
Most people try to work within the blinking pattern they get from their OEM blinker. I customized my OEM blinker so that I could have the exact sequence timing I was after so it looks perfect.Originally Posted by wrenchturner1980
that's why the 5k pot is put in. you turn the dial to set the speed desired.Originally Posted by wrenchturner1980
I don't mean the speed of the sequential LED, I mean the amount of time the vehicle provides power to light the signal. Say your car turn signal applies power for 2 seconds. Does that mean you have 2 seconds for all the LED to go threw their entire sequence?Originally Posted by luai78664
YeahOriginally Posted by wrenchturner1980
I build the circuit on a bread board and it works...kind of. The led's don't stay lit. They just keep going over and over in a sequence. Anyone have any idea what I did wrong?
Thank you for all the help guys, without it I couldn't even get close to this far!!!

To understand the personal baggage that Pope Benedict XVI brought to the Holy Land this week, it is worth looking at his most accessible book, "Jesus of Nazareth", published two years ago. With a mixture of intense piety and arcane scholarship, he reflects on the Jewish origins of Christianity's dogmas and rites in a way that shows deep interest in the religion of ancient Israel--yet total conviction that the older faith's true meaning is to be found only in Christ. Both in its rigour and in its devotion, the pope's writing reflects the enclosed places in which he has spent most of his 82 years. First, the formal atmosphere of German academia, where charisma is a dirty word; and then the upper echelons of the Vatican, a world whose ethos, reasoning and vocabulary are utterly remote from the lives of most lay Catholics, let alone everyone else.
No surprise, then, that he lacked the street sense to send the right signals on a trip to the front line: the Middle Eastern confrontation zone of the three monotheistic faiths, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, a region that tests the skills of the savviest statesman. In the event, he deeply upset his Israeli hosts, and to a much milder extent his Palestinian ones too, both mainly through sins of omission.
Read it all.

Katherine nailed it.
Heh—this article bespeaks the fond fantasies of a man who desperately wants to see the conservative fail. And Ratzinger is a conservative who is a threat to the progressive Roman Catholics who took Vatican II and ran with it, along with the progressives everywhere who cheered them on.
I'm cheering for Ratzinger.May 17, 6:54 am | [comment link]

Welcome back to my regular scheduled posts that explore the fine line between optimism and depression in baseball. While regular subscribers are familiar with the format, this time we're going to change it up a little and I will actually post something.
This week we'll focus on a struggling DH,
David Ortiz Jason Kubel. Most of you are familiar with the roller coaster of a career that has had us on a 'laugh or cry' track nearly every season; flashes of promise and power (laugh) with inconsistent performance at the plate and poor D in the field (cry). Last year we were all lucky enough to witness a serious 'laugh out loud like an evil supervillain' type of performance from Kubel. And while it is still only the end of May, this season Jason Kubel's performance has been pitiful enough to cause Deepak Chopra to drown his rice based cereal cornflakes in tears of frustration.
In 151 AB Kubel has amassed an offensive line of .215 .340 .314 .654 and a defensive UZR rating of -1.5 and a UZR/150 of -22.5 good for a total WAR of -0.2. According to fangraphs, Jason Kubel has been worth about $700,000 in salary this year which is slightly less than the $4 million or so that we are paying him.
Of course the optimistic side of the coin states that the Twins are still winning even with a contribution from our primary DH which (as Jesse pointed out) is worse than Alexi Casilla's and as bad as Ortiz in 2009. Kubel is a professional hitter and he will bounce back. Kubel has started slow before and/or has had significant slumps. He'll right the ship soon and is capable of carrying our offense.
Normally, I would count myself in the 'laugh' category by realizing that Kubel's lack of production so far is just a slump and it is pretty well timed because Morneau is so hot. As Morneau starts to cool down a little it is likely that Kubel will start heating up and our offense will continue to chug along.
Unfortunately there are at least a couple of reasons why this Kubel slump is more painful than slumps past and why I find myself in the 'cry' category (I know, big surprise right?):
Young and Thome. Young has shrugged off the criticism this year (or more accurately has responded to it) by shedding excess weight, playing passable defense, and has provided some serious offense this Spring. Thome ... well enough said. When you have a DH the likes of HOF Thome sitting on the bench so that Jason Kubel can slg .314 even optimistic 14 year old girl Punto fans can get so frustrated that they end the month of May looking like 'Fish' from Barney Miller.
Bonus Content 'Laugh or Cry': Prince Fielder
Man that guy can hit. Some people don't care how fat their first baseman or pitcher gets because overweight players in those positions continue to get it done season after season.
Then again, Fielder is so fat he has lost what little flexibility and dexterity that he needs to be a productive fielder at any position. It's one thing to be 50lbs overweight, or even 150lbs if you are an offensive lineman battling head to head against a strong opponent. Its a whole 'nother thing when your only opponent is gravity; and you are losing.

Thanks for your quick response. But I would like to style it the way it is done with the shortcode "Latest from the blog". What style tags should I use (and where)?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Regards, Raven
If you are good in php you can see how it was made in functions/futures/shortcodes.php, lines 331-377.
How do I edit the global footer? Categories and tags show up in there and I can't find a place to remove them.
1) http://cloud.evgenyfireform.com/image/3q2V092F1e2E
2) http://cloud.evgenyfireform.com/image/1n1M3E0C3Z1V Make sure you do not override Theme Options settings by individual page options.
Hi there, So I asked this question earlier and it seemed to work. I managed to highlight a piece of text on the homepage (that was months ago now) and it remains highlighted. However, I'm editing again and the tags don't work.
1. I've been trying to highlight text just like in the homepage of the demo. Highlight short code doesn't seem to be working anywhere I try to use it.
2. Is there no way to use html tags in the slider descriptions?
3. Am I able to highlight heading tags also Thanks
1) Sorry for that, our dev replaced correct file again. Download shortcodes.css
2) Unfortunately no.
3) Yes. After downloading css from item 1.
Hey thanks for your reply. Uploaded new shortcodes.css to path mask/css/shortcodes.css Nothings changed….have I uploaded to the right place?
Maybe css is cached by browser. Try to clean browser cach. If it doesn't help can I see your website?
Works well in the demo http://themes.evgenyfireform.com/wp-mask/features/test/
Also, I would like the extras posts on the homepage to link to corresponding "Pages" from the home page. example; http://mysite/extras/one will go to http://mysite/one instead. So, I'd like to cut out "extras" all together.
Possible? thanks
Thanks for that info. Seems we should improve it soon.
Have pm'd you Thanks!
Not sure how to reply to your reply, so sorry for duplicate messages. I've Uploaded new shortcodes.css to path mask/css/shortcodes.css Nothings changed….have I uploaded to the right place?
I want to upgrade wordpress to 3.5. Is the theme compatible or will I have problems??
Good Evening,
I trying to install your theme with wordpress but it is giving me a fail message saying.
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Any help would be appreciated.
- 1. Download the final zip file from your downloads page.
- 2. Unzip the final zip file; you should now have a final download folder.
- 3. Do NOT upload the final download folder. Open up the final download folder.
- 4. Browse the contents and find the actual theme folder. If you look inside the theme folder, you will see a "style.css" file. This is how you know you have found the theme folder.
- 5. Upload ONLY the theme folder to your "wp-content/themes" folder.
- 6. Login to your WordPress admin panel and activate the theme.
Hello The Slider Images in the article resize 100% of width the images. It possible don't resized but take the original image size?
Try this:
.post .proj-img img { width: auto; max-width: 100%; }
You need to past it into Dashboard > Appearance > Editor (after "*/")
Hello! in which file should I enter it?
Hey, in the root style.css (mask/style.css)
Hey I just purhcased this theme and ilove it i was just wondering is there a way to add instagram to the social media icons in the header?
You can't do this via Theme Options but you can replace flickr image (mask/images/social/flckr.png) for example and paste your url in the flickr field.
i want to load the images of portfolio in scale, without crop,
can you help me to do this?
You can control croppping here mask/functions/apperance/init.php, lines #30-38.
add_image_size('sg_post', 977, 477, true);Change 477 to 99999 to skip vertical cropping. Also you need to re-upload images to apply changes.
Hi fireform, I have a few questions.
1) Is there a way to get a category link for my portfolio filters. So i have a filter like website. But when i try to make a link yourwebsite.com/portfolio/website/ i get a 404 page. I would love to have a category link filter portfolio and its also great for google.
2) When I gonna update to the latest version is my style.css where i add a few things gonna change and can i start all over again ?
- this is my account. But i bought the theme with my boss his account
And this theme is really great !
1) This is a worpress permalink issues, not a theme. This causes if you change permalink type for posts. Try this http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Sivel/FAQ
2) To avoid losing you need to insert your styles in mask/style.css instead of modifiyng theme styles. But if time is gone you can replace style.css by your own when unzip updated theme, then upload it on your ftp.
Thank you very much for your quick reply! Keep up the good work
You're welcome Thanks for kind words!
Hi, I want to upgrade wordpress to 3.5. Is the theme compatible or will I have problems?? Thanks.
Yes. If you will have any problems, write me via my profile page.
I upgraded to 3.5 Wordpress and now when I add a photo thumbnail to the portfolio post it would add it cropped for some reason although the dimensions are exactly like the previous portfolio thumbnails. What can I do?
Yes, because init.php was replaced. You need to set diminsions again.
I don't know how. Can you assist please or send the modified init.php please?
You have been modified it by yourself in the past. Just find my answer to you about modifying.
I never modified this by myself by the way. I tried and everything is exactly the same and the dimensions are right. This is really frustrating. Any extra help?
I would really appreciate your help because I need to update the portfolio and not it's messing everything up.
You asked me about this before Not a problem.
You need to change dimensions in mask/functions/apperance/init.php, line #35.
Hi Evgeny,
I would like to remove from the contact form (quick contact bar & contact page) the "Website" field.
Could you please tell me in which places (files) I need to make these changes.
Best regards.
You can use Contact Form 7 plugin instead of our contact form. But there is no option to hide form in the topbar. We should add this ability in next update.
The tabs keep appearing below each other when clicked. They do not switch place like in the demo. What's wrong?
On load: http://i.imgur.com/Fz9eajs.png 1st click: http://i.imgur.com/NnL5kJF.png 2nd click: http://i.imgur.com/VuCpwgH.png
Will be fixed in an update. If you need to fix it asap just delete this part of code in custom.js http://cloud.evgenyfireform.com/image/2F2z0P3L2x2t to get this:
Thank you! But this doesn't work in IE8 and (IE7)?
Example: http://tinyurl.com/ayb3kmo
Forgot something. Just download and replace old one by this script http://cloud.evgenyfireform.com/0b2f2L1c451T
Hi! Thanks, but it didn't work. The tabs and accordions still break in IE. Did you send the right file? It says "scrollTo"..
Yes, it's the right file. Hm.. I need to take a look more detailed. In any case we'll fix it in a new update soon.
Is there a way to access the editor function that is normally under appearances >?
I want to make a few basic changes without downloading files with FTP client?
Also, I noticed the email form requires the visitor to enter: http://www. In front of the website or it won't let them send an email. I'd like to make it so they can just enter, e.g. (aol.com)
Thank you. Great theme, love the documentation.
Yes, you can write your css rules in Appearance > Editor. It was connected after all stylesheets and you are able to override our styles.
Yes, contact form has this field. If you need custom form you can use Contact Form 7 plugin.
Please let me know you replied here to the comment above so I can be alerted. Thank you.
Hello! Replied
Thank you. Actually what I want is to show the editor function so I can see files from wp backend. I don't want to have to download all the files edit and upload. Like header.php for instance, I disabled the mobile site by taking out a line of code but I had to download file from server and re upload. I just want to click on editor.
If I can't, no big deal. I just wanted to see.
I also want to make it so I don't have to enter http://www. Before a domain name. Its not a required field but if you don't enter the domain exactly right the visitor can't send the email
For some reason my quick contact form isn't functioning properly
It says it was sent successfully but I don't get anything
It won't override wp email but if I leave email blank on your admin its fine

358 students are now starting a new chapter after graduating from Wartburg College in Waverly Sunday.
But many of the graduates now face a harsh reality: finding a job, and beginning to pay off student loans, and loan repayment could get more costly for some of them.
Members of Wartburg College's class of 2013 are thrilled to finally be getting their hard-earned degrees.
"It's really exciting. You work hard for four years, and it's finally here," said graduate Kelsi Sawatzky.
For many graduates, graduation is the end of years of schooling. But Sawatzky still has a lot of education left to pursue.
"In August, I'll start optometry school," she said.
Those are classes that, as many of the graduates know, don't come cheap!
"I will have to take out a lot more loans. So hopefully I'll be able to pay those back!" said Sawatzky.
Students in this year's graduating class with federally subsidized loans will be able to repay them at a low interest rate of just three percent. But for those furthering their education, those rates are set to double, to over six percent on loans taken out after July 1st.
"I'm not too nervous. I haven't really thought that far ahead yet!" Sawatzky said.
But for many students yet to get their diploma, the thought of higher loan repayment rates is a concern.
"It's a pretty scary thing, especially considering how quickly we have to pay student loans after graduation. So not only do you have to worry about finding a job right away, but also paying the loans right away," said Wartburg student Kyle Scobee.
Scobee's had the smarts to start saving money for it now, but he knows his concerns are shared by a lot of students, all who are hoping Congress acts to avoid the loan rate spike.
"We want our students to be educated, to pursue education. If we get heftier student loan payments, it's going to stop students from going to college, and we want to keep pursuing education and bettering ourselves. So if we can do anything to continue that growth, we definitely want to keep doing it," Scobee said.
Even with a lot of loan debt, Scobee and the graduates are proud of their accomplishments, and hope the cost of their degree will be worth it in the long run.
A vote on the first bill to prevent student loan interest rates from rising failed to pass in the US House last week. But talks of a compromise deal are ongoing.
You may recall student loan rates almost doubled last summer during the "debt ceiling" debate, but a last minute deal prevented that from happening.

In Effort To Rebrand, Salafi-jihadi Movement Adopts New Name: 'Ansar Al-Shari'a'
Special Dispatch Series No. 5004, October 16, 2012
The upheaval in the Arab world and the change of regime in several Arab countries brought with it new opportunities for the extremist Salafi-jihadi movement. Until recently, this movement operated mostly underground, but the rise of Islamic governments in many Arab countries has enabled it to come out into the open. As part of this new phase, several Salafi groups have adopted the name "Ansar Al-Shari'a" (meaning "Supporters of the Shari'a"), or similar names, thus re-branding themselves as a single movement dedicated to spreading the message and promoting the goals of the Salafi-jihadi groups.

COLONIE, N.Y. - Last year some of the big stores opened at midnight for the first time ever, but this year some are opening on Thanksgiving Day.
NEWS10 spoke with shoppers Sunday to not talk about Black Friday, but what has now become Black Thursday.
"I personally wouldn't. It's too early. At that time I'm still sitting on the couch relaxing," said Josh Vallee of Troy.
It's that decision millions of shoppers will face on Thanksgiving Day; to shop or stay home with their family with that second helping of turkey.
"I felt that Thanksgiving should be spent with the family and it's taking away from the family. Opening up at 8 o'clock is pushing it a little bit. Maybe midnight is fine but eight, I don't agree with that," said John Godson, of Waterford.
"I guess times have changed though, from Thanksgiving being more of a family holiday and people are now coming out to shop. I guess it's a little ridiculous. We could leave that for Friday," said Raymond Gonzalez, of Troy.
Walmart, Sears and Toys R Us are set to open at 8 p.m. and Target at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. It's become a competition for stores to see who can get the customer first.
"It seems like every year they're getting earlier and earlier. Pretty soon they're going to be open all day on Thanksgiving," said Angeli Quehaughney of Troy.
Many shoppers will be heading out earlier than ever to cash in on the Black Thursday deals.
"You know if there's something out there that you really want and you can get a better deal on it. I don't see the problem going out a day early for it absolutely. I think with the economy it helps a lot of people out to get those deals," said Denise Davella of Albany.
Macy's, Best Buy and Kohl's will be opening at midnight.

Honestly, I've had League Pass for a couple of seasons now, and I've had the opportunity / misfortune to listen to a lot of bad announcers. I mean, I'll be the first to admit that the Mikes aren't always great. In fact, even some Blazer fans can sometimes struggle with them.
But seriously???!! The Houston commentators have to be hands down the biggest pair of homer announcers I've ever had to sit through. They would not stop moaning about every call that didn't go their way, and they just could not shut up about the Blazers "flopping." I completely agree that Joel is very good at drawing charges, and he definitely flops on occasion, but come on...these guys just would not stop. Even after they won the game, they were interviewing Luis Scola and asking him about the Blazers' flops and the refs' bad calls.
Ummmm...Luis Scola? Foremost authority on how NOT to flop?
Good Lord that was painful listening.

A 38-year-old Bismarck man faces two charges after contacting a minor.
Shane Michael Walter is charged with luring minors by computer and promoting obscenity to minors.
A Bismarck police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl began chatting with Walter online in January.
The two then exchanged text messages, and Walter sent a photo his private parts.
The officer also says Walter spoke of sexual contact during texts and asked for naked photos of the girl.
Walter was arrested Thursday. He is being held on $7500 cash bond.
The luring charge is a class 'b' felony. The promoting obscenity charge is a class 'c' felony.

President Obama has made the digitization of medical records a national priority. In theory, digitization allows doctors to more easily coordinate care and avoid duplication of tests. But as the American Medical Association (AMA) warned in 2010, electronic records can result in medical errors. The AMA suggests there should be more safeguards in place and that the medical profession implement electronic systems gradually.
Despite these concerns, the government has not changed its policy. Universal electronic medical records are one of the pillars of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The first regulation requiring electronic records took effect on October 1, 2012. At the same time, the government decided not to put electronic records under the purview of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA involvement would allow a federal agency to establish uniform practices for hospitals and other providers to follow, as they do in other areas.
This is disturbing enough already, but it gets worse. Under another provision in the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid may not have to pay for a patient's care if the condition was caused by a medical error. This is true even if the injury was the result of a hospital mistake while setting up its recordkeeping system or whether a hospital employee made a mistake entering data.
Overworked and exhausted employees are more likely to make mistakes. The requirement to learn a new system makes overwork and exhaustion more likely. If one's doctor or hospital recently switched to electronic medical records and a mistake was made, it is important for the patient to know the implications. One should be aware that the hospital itself, not just the individuals who made the mistake, might be liable if the error can be traced in any way to the hospital's recordkeeping system.

It is freezing cold here! For the past few days, we have been waking up to thick frost, icy roads and below freezing level temp. Thankfully there has no moisture otherwise I am very sure that they would have turned to snow! Anyway, with all these cold weather, all I want for dinner is something really warm and spicy tortilla soup is one hot dish that we ate recently. If you looked on the web, there are probably many different recipe version for this soup. It got confusing after a while but then I realized that basically one basic common factor between these recipes is a tomato-based chicken soup. Once you have that, just add in any vegetables that you like. I added in potato, carrot, kidney beans and celery. Topped it off with tortilla chips, sour cream , and cubed avocado before serving.

Bull head end of T rules/codesWhat is code for entering bull side of T on potable water and hydronics?

Mikey...Que pasa mi amigo:-)
To the best of my knowledge, and as it pertains to the plumbing code, that focus is very blurry due to the lack of using it on a regular basis, but it USE to be legal to do so. You have 70 PSI of driving force behind the water, and it WILL go where you want it to, and KEEP going there.
In a closed loop system, it USE to be illegal, but when modcon boilers were introduced, the AHJ's were SO confused, that instead of trying to educate themselves so they could tell the difference between an illegal BH tee and a primary secondary connection, they did away with the whole section in the code that addressed the BH tee situation.... Sad day in codesville in my humble opinion.
As for your next anticipated question, YES, it absolutely DOES make a difference. If bull headed, the flows will constantly keep changing, because as you remember from class, water is like my ex brother in law. Wet lazy and stupid. He MUST be show what direction to go, because if he has to make up his simple mind, it will keep changing because the pressure drops related to the circuits keeps changing as well.
The ONLY exception I allow to this rule, is in situations where the BH tee is being used to determine wether the flow goes to a DHW indirect tank, or to a space heating load. Under this scenario, the flow WILL be locked into the load (forced by dedicated prioritized pumps) and will not deviate.
To all of my friends here on the Wall, my apologies for being so thin as of late. My new positions with IAPMO/RPA is consuming my every waking hour. I knew I was in for a rough ride initially when I took this position. Hopefully, things will smooth out now.
The good news is, that we are making some fantastic progress in assembling the 8 committees that I will be charged with keeping busy and productive. We have a GREAT stable of guys (and gals) and are marching forward. This NEW RPA is going to make some indelible marks on life, good beneficial marks. Come join us won't you?
Visit the site at www.radiantprofessionalsalliance.org and click on the Committee's button and see if there a place for you at one of the tables. This group is BY the members, FOR the members. Our annual conference/meeting/education track is coming together for September 18 thru the 20th and I think it is going to knock your socks off.
Mark your calendar now and see us in Philadelphia.
MEIt's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.

Gheorghe Speaks at High-Level Energy Policy Meeting in Brussels
Adrian Gheorghe, the Old Dominion University faculty member who is an expert on infrastructure security, was one of three speakers invited to address a select group of officials and intellectuals at a symposium in Brussels titled "Is Europe's Energy Security Policy a Reality or an Ambition?"
The event on May 26 was part of the Policymakers' Dinner series sponsored by the Security and Defence Agenda (SDA), a think tank based in Brussels. The sponsoring organization published a full account of the symposium in a June issue of the A Security & Defense Agenda Report.
Gheorghe introduced to his symposium audience a new term, "infranomics," which is a system of systems engineering approach to tackling the very complex issue of energy security.
"In discussions about the European energy system architecture, we need to talk about issues beyond pipelines," he told the group. "We must approach the question of energy security holistically."
Later in the program, he added, "When speaking about energy systems and security, we primarily speak about tangible things. It is essential to consider intangible elements in the equation, geopolitics, for example. There is a vector of tangibles and intangibles which we must use to define a strategy to secure energy supply in the European Union."
Gheorghe defined infranomics as a system of systems approach wherein the hugely complex issues of energy infrastructure and security - including vulnerability, resilience, risk, reliability and sustainability - can be addressed in a larger framework, taking into account the various political, scientific, technical and practical elements that make it up.
At ODU, Gheorghe is associated with the National Centers for System of Systems Engineering, which has pioneered new ways of helping governments and private industries tackle complex problems in areas ranging from energy to transportation. He holds the university's Batten Endowed Chair in Systems Engineering.
He also works with ODU's Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) to create computer models of infrastructures and simulations of disasters that threaten infrastructures.
The other panelists at the SDA symposium were Julijus Grubliauskas, an analyst with NATO's Security and Policy Division, and Heinz Hilbrecht, director for security supply, energy markets and networks for the European Commission's Directorate General for Energy.
SDA partnered with the organizations Friends of Europe and the European Institute for Risk and Communication Management (EURISC) to present the symposium. Gheorghe joined ODU in 2005 after holding risk analysis positions in Europe, and he is still senior scientist for EURISIC, which is based in Bucharest, Romania.
