To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
An intense ruby red in color, the aromas of the wine are characterized by a powerful varietal expressiveness, with ample notes of red fruit, raspberries, and liquorice. On the palate, the wine, still very young, immediately shows firm tannins with much polish and finesse as well, along with a balancing, tonic acidity and savory mineral notes which add length and persistence to the finish and aftertaste.
Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
"One of the best Tignanellos ever made. Aromas of currants and blueberries with hints of flowers. Full body, with fine tannins and a refined finish. A red that delivers balance and beauty. Rich and gorgeous. Best Tignanello in years."

James Suckling
"Antinori's 2010 Tignanello is stunning, as it has been since I started tasting the component wines in 2011. Firm yet sweet, silky tannins form the backbone for this gorgeous, vivid wine. Dark red cherries, plums, cloves, mint and sage inform a Tignanello that impresses for its delineation, nuance and power. Clean, saline notes support the mineral-drenched finish. The 2010 isn't huge, but rather is a vertical wine endowed with tremendous energy and vibrancy. I can't remember a Tignanello with this much crystalline tension and pure energy. Simply put, the 2010 Tignanello is a magnificent, towering wine from Antinori."
96 Points
Vinous / Antonio Galloni
"Black berry, plum, red currant and cedar aromas take center stage in this fantastic vintage of one of Italy's most iconic wines. The structured, poised palate delivers a great depth of flavors that include succulent black cherry, cracked black pepper and mocha that are energized by a flinty mineral note. Smooth and balanced with polished tannins and fresh acidity, this is already delicious but hold for complexity. Drink 2015–2030. "
95 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Humming with energy and life from the very moment you put your nose in the glass, Marchesi Antinori's 2010 Tignanello shows magnificent aromatic layering and an enormous capacity to peel back and reveal itself in beautiful slow motion. This is an articulate wine with a long story to tell about the quality of its profound 2010 fruit. This Tignanello has the elegance of 2004 and the structure of 2007. A brief note on the structure: The mouthfeel here is not broad and big. Instead, it shows a sharp and elegantly streamlined feel with impressive persistency. Compared to 2009, the Sangiovese component is slightly higher with 80% of the noble Tuscan variety followed by 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035.
94 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Marked by new oak, this red reveals cherry, currant, vanilla, smoke and chocolate flavors, backed by a powerful rear-guard of tannins. Stays fresh through the lingering finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. "

Wine Spectator
The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit.
One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia.

Dude, Dell's Got a Research Division
Dell's Research Division is new, but its commitment to R+D apparently has deeper roots.
Michael Saul Dell (born February 23, 1965, in Houston, Texas) is an American businessman and the founder and CEO of Dell, Inc.
Dell's Research Division is new, but its commitment to R+D apparently has deeper roots.
After a quarter century as a public company, Dell will go private again.
Activist-investor Carl Icahn threw in the towel on his fight over the go-private sale of Dell to company founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake Management — using the moment of concession to solicit more Twitter followers. Dell shareholders are scheduled to vote Thursday on the $24.9 billion offer to take the struggling computer maker private. In a letter Monday, Icahn maintained that the offer for the company — roughly 70% below Dell's 10-year high of $42.38 — remains too low.
Michael Dell and Silver Lake Management LLC sweetened their offer for Dell Inc. to about $24.6 billion, conditional upon new voting rules.
Michael Dell laid out his reasons for wanting to take Dell private as well as his vision for the company in a presentation filed with the SEC on Friday.
Dell has received two alternative acquisition offers in response to Michael Dell's proposal last month to take the company private.
Dell CEO Michael Dell has decided HP's recent move -- spinning off and possibly selling its PC division -- is a bad one. In August, HP stunned the IT world with the announcement that it plans to spin off its PC business and possibly even sell it, which would be a major change in strategy for the company. HP also discontinued the HP TouchPad and sold off the inventory for $99 a piece, and gave up on its mobile platform, webOS, which it acquired with the $1.2 billion acquisition of Palm in April 2011.
Update (1:31 p.m. ET): Dell has announced that it has agreed to acquire Boomi, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, for an undisclosed amount. Dell plans to launch several new tablets in 2011, Dell CEO Michael Dell said. Without giving any further details, he also announced an acquisition related to cloud computing later today.

UPDATED 1:27pm: Labour leader David Shearer has outlined his deep-felt opposition to the SkyCity Convention Centre deal.
Speaking on Radio Rhema, Mr Shearer said SkyCity has been given special privileges that other firms tendering for building the centre had missed out on.
He's also concerned about the 8,000 or more extra people who the Government estimates will have gambling problems as a result of the increase in gambling.
"Those people can't help themselves and SkyCity's making money off those and we have got a convention centre on the backs of those people and I just think that is so terribly wrong."
Mr Shearer wishes there was no such thing as pokie machines.
"I hate those pokie machines, I actually, if I was able to kind of wish them away I would in a moment.
"I think they add nothing to anybody's quality of life, nothing."

Sydney Opera House and Australian Ballet Dinner Package
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Sydney Opera House and Australian Ballet Dinner Package. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I was very impressed!! We flew in a day early for a cruise out of Sydney and I was hoping to take my wife to the Opera House. It was nearly impossible to get tickets. I was able to use this package and thought it was worth every penny. The tour group intimate (7); diner 5-star; seats excellent.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Tour interesting, ballet outstanding, meal in Aria restaurant excellent.
One problem - arriving at what we assumed was the correct part of the Opera House we were hurried on to a guided tour, presumably in error but Viator had left tickets etc so all worked out in the end.
Excellent we all enjoyed so much, the tour was so interesting, the meal really special and beautiful and the ballet was superb ..
The theatre, the setting and the whole thing will stay with me forever and would recommend to anyone....
Couldn't fault any of it..
This was a fantastic package. We enjoyed the whole experience. Only comment being we wished dinner was after the ballet so we could have had more time to savouring the fantastic food at Aria.
Donald B
An excellent evening which ticked all the boxes! The tour provided a wealth of information about the Opera House ; the meal was artistic as well as flavoursome while the Ballet was outstanding.THANK YOU for a great experience.
This package was the highlight of our trip. The tour of the Opera House was very informative and personal. Aria Restaraunt was amazing, excellent food and service. The ballet was everything we expected and more. Viator must have an excellent reputation because we felt like we were royality. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! If anyone has any hesitations in getting this package, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

The tour was wonderful, there were only four people including my daughter and myself so we received personalized attention. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The dinner at Aria was outstanding, world-class cuisine. There were many menu options to choose from. The Opera House can be seen from any table in the restaurant. The ballet performance was enchanting. This was our best night out on the town!
Glenniss I
Everything worked out perfectly.The value of the meal of the menu would have been equal to the entire package. I chose Aria for the view, but Bennalong is closer. I thought the seats might be a little better closer, but really there's not a bad seat in the house.
Janice K
United Kingdom
Was one of THE highlights of our trip.
Stephanie W
It was fantastic! Everything was perfect.
United Kingdom
A wonderful way to see the Sydney opera house. A beautiful meal followed by a ballet. What a way to spend a memorable evening!
The Tour was a bit superficial but the Food at the Bennelong Restaurant was absolutely outstanding and the seats for the performance were very good
The tour around the Opera House was informative and interesting.We had dinner at the Aria which was OK but not fantastic. The ballet was just wonderful, from Principles, Soloists, to the Corps de Ballet. All in all a great package which we would have awarded 5* had the first 2 courses of the meal been as good as the desert.
Tour guide told as if he has known everyone how build the Opera House. Tour was not so long, Diner with view at the stairs was amazing and the ballet also. Good chairs, enough space.

No, it's not a Word Salad Title, but neither does it actually describe what happens in the show.In 1979, Fred and Barney Meet the Thing was an hourlong Saturday morning cartoon on NBC in which, ironically, neither Fred Flintstone nor Barney Rubble ever met the Thing. It consisted of a half-hour of The Flintstones and a half-hour of The Thing. Eventually it was expanded to 90 minutes with the addition of a half-hour Shmoo segment, at which point the title of the show was changed to the equally inaccurate Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo (although it did happen in the "Bedrock Cops" shorts on The Flintstone Comedy Show).The Flintstones segment consisted of episodes of the late 1970s spinoff The New Fred and Barney Show, a series of new half-hour Flintstones stories told in a style somewhat closer to the original series versus the previous few spinoffs (i.e., Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were depicted as toddlers instead of as teenagers).The Thing, which was loosely based on the character of the same name from Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four series, followed the adventures of young Benjy Grimm. His magic ring would transform him into a rock-covered monster whenever he touched the two halves together and said, "Thing Ring, do your thing," a particularly cheesy example of By the Power of Grayskull!. This was quite a departure from the original character, Ben Grimm, an adult test pilot who was transformed permanently into the rocky-skinned Thing after having been exposed to cosmic rays.The New Shmoo stars the titular creature from Li'l Abner as the Team Pet of a trio of teenagers in yet another of Hanna-Barbera's own apings of the Scooby-Doo formula.Even the staff who worked on this barely believe this show existed.

It makes sense that Stanley Gale's favorite motto is: "It can be done."
Gale founded Gale & Wentworth, a diversified real estate investment and
services organization headquartered in Florham Park, NJ. "I'm proud of
the organization we've built, but it has never been a self-centered organization,"
says Gale.
As the firm's chairman and chief operating officer, Gale leads the organization
of a global real estate portfolio, concentrating on the sourcing of equity opportunities
and the establishment of joint venture partnerships with financial investors
and institutions. He relies on his senior staff, partners, the Internet, and
his financial partners to provide the market data necessary for his business.
Gale's involvement encompasses establishing policies and the overall strategic
direction of the organization that embraces quality service, total client satisfaction,
and community improvement.
Gale was deeply affected on a personal level by the attack on the World Trade
Center, losing his cousin and 15 business associates. His company has dramatically
changed the way it does business in response to recent security concerns. The
organization has re-examined its entire portfolio - 50 million square feet in
26 states - with a focus on life safety. For example, one of the projects under
construction is being re-evaluated for increased security. "We want to
be sure we have done everything we could have done to provide for safety,"
says Gale.
"My strongest tool, my strength, is strong visualization of the outcome.
I set the goal, rally the troops, be sure the goal is a team goal, build consensus,
and go after it with relentless pursuit," he explains. His determination,
positive attitude, and focus on others reflect the company's guiding principles
during these difficult times. "Accepting defeat; I hate that, it is not
my nature," says Gale.
Experience has taught him the importance of supporting the community and overcoming
adversity. Gale has been in the real estate industry since 1974 and has weathered
many economic cycles. "That's the challenge to try and measure [the current
financial situation] and adapt your business to the economic climate. We are
in uncharted territory," says Gale.
An industry leader, Gale is the member of several associations, including the
Urban Land Institute, the Industrial Development Research Council, and the National
Association of Corporate Real Estate Executives. He serves on the Board of Trustees
of Prosperity New Jersey. In addition to having ownership interest in the New
York Yankees and the New Jersey Nets and Devils, Gale is strongly committed
to revitalizing Newark through a development program that will bring a new sports
and entertainment complex to the area.
Adds Gale, "I always ask, 'How can we do a good job by doing good things?'
Up Close and Personal
Stan, what are some of the highlights of your career?
We have built a successful organization while doing exciting things that are
helpful to others.
What do you like least/most about your job?
What I love most is helping clients solve their problems and assisting the growth
of their companies through the facilities we build, manage, or invest in with
them. Least? I don't dislike anything I do.
What advice do you have for your peers?
My principle is fairness in everything you do.
What do you consider your most important resource?
I rely on my partners and my senior people to help me make the right decisions.
Looking ahead, what do you see as challenges in the coming year?
The world economic crisis that we are in has tremendous implication for the
future. We are only a reflection of our business clients that pay the rent in
our buildings
Any particular pastimes, hobbies, or hidden talents?
My favorite thing was when I was the coach of my children's teams. Watching
their games is my pastime. They are good athletes, better than I am!
How about favorite films?
Anything with Jim Carrey in it. I love comedy. The film, The Graduate, that's
my favorite.
What is your biggest strength?
My ability to make decisions and not waffle on them, to make decisions and move
What is your personal motto?
I use Ronald Reagan's slogan: It can be done.
If you weren't in this profession, what alternative occupation would you
I wanted to be a professional soccer player. Unfortunately, I'm 51 now, so that
has passed me by.

Laura Jane Grace - "Black Me Out"
I saw Against Me! back in 2007 at the first (and last) Tallyrand Music Festival in Jacksonville, but that was only because Spoon were going on right after them and I wanted a good spot.
I'd never heard any of their music, but I was aware of them. "New Wave" had just come out and with major label money behind it the record got prime end cap display space at every Target.
Since the band was based only a couple hours away in Gainesville, they had a lot of fans at the festival. Without having heard a note of music, I tried to deduce what they sounded like just from looking around at their fans, and at the band, and what I thought I knew about them: I thought they were going to sound like a hardcore punk band, which is to say, not my jam.
So I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked them. They had a lot of punk energy, lots of thrashing around the stage and spitting, but the tunes were catchy and even though the vocals were shouty, sure, it was still in a tuneful pop-punk way that I enjoy. After their set I made a mental note to pick up "New Wave" the next time I went record shopping. It never happened. I never did buy that album, or any other Against Me! album.
This is all a long way of saying that I'm glad I finally picked up "Transgender Dysphoria Blues" because even though it's only the fifth of February this is going to probably be my favorite record this year.
"Black Me Out" might be the last track on the album but it's already a favorite and should be the next single, but every song on the album is a punch in the gut. The acoustic version loses none of the spite of the original; in fact, without all the extra accompaniment it probably cuts even harder.
I haven't really done a formal favorites list in a couple of years, but after moving last year and with my entire music collection still in boxes in the garage, I set out this year with a goal to buy one new release every week. I pretty much shopped Amazon exclusively, because I also don't live 12 minutes from the Rhino in Claremont anymore, so with no record stores nearby, all the money I would have spent buying used CDs and shoring up my collection all went toward new releases. All told I wound up buying 55 new records, and there are a bunch more I wished I'd gotten around to, but isn't that always the case? Below are my 20 favorite, in alphabetical order. I also took this crappy picture of each CD layed out on the floor of our guest room because why not.
I will say that because I didn't have access to my music collection (and yes, I use Spotify, but it's just not the same y'know?) it forced me to spend a lot more time with each of the records I bought, so I feel like I really got to absorb all the stuff I listened to this year.
Okay, if you held a gun to my head and asked me which was my absolute favorite album of the year I'd say either Paramore or Arctic Monkeys. Oh now I'm dead because I still didn't choose, but I loved both of them a lot a lot.
I'll probably keep up the whole buy-a-new-record-a-week thing, but maybe aim for 75. STILL BUYING CDS IN 2014 WHERE'S MY MEDAL??

Recently got around to picking up the Coming Up & Head Music deluxe reissues and I haven't listened to anything else for a couple of weeks now. Obviously I've owned the original albums for over a decade but I wanted to hear a remastered Coming Up since the original started sounding dated almost immediately. Verdict: a slight improvement, but there's still hardly any low end. Head Music has aged extremely well and still sounds great and modern so the impetus for getting that one was for the b-sides.
In the liner notes Brett writes a few reflective paragraphs about what was going on with the band during recording and gives a little insight on how it all came together but it's not super revelatory. The best part is when he provides a "if I could do it all over again" re-envisioned track listing. For Head Music, and I'm paraphrasing here, he says "Fuckin' A I was off the rails while we were making this thing. Holy shit what's going on with "Head Music" and "Elephant Man", right guys? How much crack was I smoking? Oh yeah, a fuck ton! No but seriously I was doing a lot of crack. Anyway, I'd definitely axe those two because listening to them now I feel a deep sense of shame."
Almost all the b-sides to Coming Up were on Sci Fi Lullabies, but I'd never heard the Head Music-era b-sides so that was a treat. Even though they were a lesser band at that point (too much of the wrong kind of drugs!) and Brett had, lyrically at least, practically become a parody of himself, the b-sides were actually surprisingly decent.
But I can't overstate how bad some of Brett's lyrics are; just totally bereft of ideas. Besides every other song starting with "She….." and the comically simple rhyming schemes, he actually sings "We're the litter on the breeze" AGAIN on "Jubilee". I mean, they wrote tracks called "Crackhead" and "Heroin" and "Music Like Sex" (!!!) because of course they did!
It's also weird to think about how Brett was a year younger than I am now when that record came out.
I will say that "Leaving" and "Let Go" are really really great (and if I'm being honest "Music Like Sex" is an earworm even though it's a dumb song) and the thing I realized after listening to so much Suede is that even a terrible Suede song is still pretty great, so I'm hopeful their new album is going to be good. I mean, I even really liked A New Morning so I think I'll like it just fine.

Master Tibetan thangka painter opens new gallery in CA; visitors can watch creation of massive Buddhist scroll
Master Tibetan thangka painter Tashi Dargyal, about whose work we've reported here and here, has opened a new gallery and studio space at the Barlow, in Sebastopol, CA.
Visitors to the Tibetan Gallery & Studio will have the unusual opportunity to watch the creation of the first thanbochi — a massive ceremonial scroll unfurled at special Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies — painted outside of Tibet. Currently, Tashi is working on the 20' x 15' thanbochi with Mingmar Tsering, the primary teacher at the Institute of Tibetan Thangka Art, in Dharamsala, India. Both artists are adhering to exacting traditional methods of design, employing hand-ground pigments to render the immense image of Shakyamuni Buddha, his two foremost disciples, and the founders of the four principle Tibetan Buddhist lineages.
The Tibetan Gallery & Studio says it will also display a variety of other unique items, including art-quality prints of Tashi's thangkas, silk scarves responsibly sourced from India, and hand-strung prayer beads, as well as one-of-a-kind scripted art and painted stones for gardens.
If you won't find yourself traveling through west Sonoma County anytime soon, Tashi regularly posts images and video of the thanbochi's progress on his website and Facebook page.

Policies To Reduce Flood Damage Lloydminster
People incur gross losses caused by flood damage Lloydminster. Flooding is mostly a natural pandemic but is sometimes caused by human activities. However, the government has played a big role in providing a lasting solution for flood related problems. They have set up working polices that control occurrence of floods and landslides in the region. These policies are meant to reduce the effects of floods whenever they occur.
Floods cause severe damage to property and other structures. The effects are adverse when the flood occurs in a densely populated area. They cause death to people and animals, destroy crops and with time the affected areas become susceptible to water borne diseases. Building artificial levees along river banks has contributed greatly in reducing flood damage cold lake. They do this by reducing the chances of river water leaving its course and flowing on the land.
The government has a well organized and able rescue team that acts immediately to save people living in areas affected by floods. Other techniques have been implemented to control flood damage Lloydminster. These methods include construction of spill walls and building reservoirs. Reservoirs hold excess water and regulate the amount of water flowing in to the large water bodies. This has helped in saving the many lives that were initially lost in floods.

Our Victories
Since 2001, Oceana has achieved dozens of concrete policy victories for marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent a new hope for the world's oceans.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council took its final step in an effort to protect threatened sea turtles from the bottom longline sector of the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. Specifically, the Council voted to close all bottom longline fishing shoreward of 35 fathoms (approximately 210 feet) from June to August, a time when large numbers of loggerheads were caught in previous years, and to restrict longline fishing of all vessels that have a history of catching at least 40,000 lbs of reef fish each year.Read Press Release
Federal policymakers released the final regulations banning all fishing for krill in U.S. Pacific waters of California, Oregon and Washington. This action was led by Oceana and others and has had strong support from scientists, conservationists, fishermen, coastal businesses and local communities.Read Press Release
The Oregon state legislature passed a bill to establish Oregon's first two marine reserves and a protected area in its coastal waters, and defined a two year process to evaluate and implement additional areas to build a network of protected areas and reserves. Oceana worked to identify the Important Ecological Areas off the Oregon coast and with a coalition of conservationists, scientists, and local communities, advanced a statewide proposal to protect Oregon's coastal ocean ecosystem.Read Press Release
The federal Pacific Fishery Management Council voted to maintain a standing prohibition on a West Coast-based high seas longline fishery. The vote will prevent the opening of a new swordfish fishery that would threaten migrating loggerhead sea turtles and other marine wildlife on the high seas of the north Pacific Ocean.
After Oceana's advocacy work, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) put in place an emergency closure of the eastern Gulf of Mexico to bottom longline fishing gear from the reef fish fishery to protect sea turtles. The closure included all waters shallower than 50 fathoms for a period of six months. NMFS took this action after the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council voted (10-7) to ask them to do so. Oceana was instrumental in pushing both the Agency and the Council to take these actions to protect sea turtles.
The European Court of Justice condemned France for using illegal driftnets to catch bluefin tuna. Later in March, three owners of illegal driftnetting vessels in southern Italy were arrested after Oceana provided authorities with a variety of documentation and reported more than 150 vessels using this illegal fishing gear.
The government of Chile officially announced a plan for reducing the use of antibiotics in salmon aquaculture, which included four out of five relevant policy recommendations made by Oceana. The plan failed to prohibit the animal use of the quinolone family of antibiotics.

Well, Critical Hits is done. First draft is, anyway; now it's time to do revisions and such, as I gibbered* about last month. Since I haven't done any writing lately, I can't discuss the process thereof, and since I haven't edited, hunted for a publisher/agent, or any of the other shitwork you have to do to if you want to even pretend to be a "serious" (har!) writer, there'll be no discussion of said topics.
But I'm not get unpaid to twiddle my thumbs, am I? There's got to be something to write about, even if it's not writing. How about "things that Dave finds interesting and have at least a tangential relationship to his writing"? Sounds good to me, so sit back and let me throw random things at you. Verbally, of course.
Port of Ravens Bluff (TSR, 1991)
I loved this supplement when I bought it, and if it wasn't packed away somewhere, I'm sure I'd still read it at least once a month. Ravens Bluff, if you're not aware, was the official city of the RPGA, and was one of the few places in the Forgotten Realms that had a vein of humor running through it. My most memorable AD&D campaign was set here, consisting of myself and my buddy Brad. (Yeah, I DMed and played simultaneously.) If you can find this, buy it; I think you might be able to pay Wizards of the Coast to download it, too.
Probot (Southern Lord, 2004)
By the time you read this, this album will be on the shelves, and if you like heavy metal, you should buy it. Dave Grohl, of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame, wrote a bunch of metal songs and had his (and a lot of my) favorite '80s metal singers handle vocals. How can you go wrong when Cronos, Tom G. Warrior, Lee Dorrian, King Diamond, Wino, and others are all on the same album? Answer: you can't. When I write, I listen almost exclusively to metal, and this album is already in heavy rotation.
Ultima VII (Origins, 1992)
This is the best Ultima ever. I remember not being able to play it when it came out, since I had a Tandy 286 and the box had a sticker that said "386 power." The plots are cool, the graphics were amazing, and the level of interactivity with the environment was, and still is, unreal. To top it off, you can run amok with a freakin' Hoe of Destruction!
Call of Cthulhu (Chaosium)
I bought this in either 7th or 8th grade, and to this day, it's one of my favorite role-playing games. It also introduced me to the man hisself, H.P. Lovecraft, for which I am eternall grateful. One day I want to write a novel with HPL as a character.
Ficciones, Jorge Luis Borges (various editions; first American, 1962)
I can't write short stories to save my life, and while I think of myself as a fairly intellectual guy, Jorge Luis Borges crushes me on both accounts. Ficciones is a collection of disgustingly erudite, bizarre, mindblowing short stories about dense philosophical issues and literature. If I could find a copy in Spanish, the language the stories were originally written in, I'd finally have the motivation to reclaim my rotting grasp of that language.
Galaga (Namco, 1981)
I was two when this was released, and 19 when I started playing it. If I had every quarter I ever spent on Galaga in the Lowman Student Center at Sam Houston State, I'd be able to buy my own Galaga machine. During that year of friendlessness and retro gaming, I wrote a short story that, while never completed, ended up providing a couple characters for Critical Hits. One day, I might turn that short story into a novel.
College (Mary Washington College/Sam Houston State University, 1997-2001)
Ah, college. Four years of languor, constant internet and library access, classes, and general evasion of the so-called and much-loathed "real world." While I could complain about parts of the education I received in those four years, the good things about attending college outweigh the bad ones, and frankly, if I hadn't gone to college, I never would've decided to become a writer. Class wasn't much a stimulus, but everything outside of them was. You should go to college to avoid certain responsibilities for a few years and, as Minor Threat used to say, "flex your head"; if you're going to college to get a job, don't. Higher education is already going down the tubes, and if you're getting a four-year degree just to become a middle manager, you're not helping anything.
Brant Bjork (appearing on wax/CD since 1990)
Brant Bjork used to play drums for Kyuss and Fu Manchu. These days, he's makin' solo albums, all of which are essential. Jalamanta, Brant Bjork & the Operators, Keep Your Cool: testaments to takin' it easy (see below) and enjoying life. Mr. Bjork is also a musician of the highest caliber, playing all the instruments on the aforementioned albums and creating grooves that will make anyone bob their heads and give 'em an itch to either hop in the car and cruise through the neighborhood with their buddies or chill out with a cold drink on the porch and watch the sun set. An afternoon at the computer writing is well-rewarded by putting on one of Brant Bjork's albums and opening a beer.
The Suburbs (most of my life)
Sure, they can be boring, and they embody some of America's most banal aspects, but they're where I come from, and I like to write about them. Not as remote as the country and not as hectic as the city, suburbia is a great place to cruise, daydream, and practice deviant behavior in the privacy of your own home. Ultimately, I'd like to see hordes of cool, intelligent folks swarm into the burbs and claim them as their own. When "suburban" is no longer synonymous with "complacent," America will a better place.
Takin' It Easy (1979-present)
Nothing beats doing nothing. It's amazing how much I get done when I do nothing, though a lot of folks would argue otherwise. If they'd just do nothing for a while, they'd see that inactivity is as productive as they say it isn't. Case in point: I wrote two novels while not doing much of anything at all.
Critical Hits, and to a lesser extent, Axis Mundi Sum, is a step toward laying down some ideas I have about a lot of the ideas mentioned above. While I recommend everyone reading this to check out the albums, books, games, places, and (in)activities I've listed, I don't expect anyone to feel the same way I do about them. If you want to write, take your own life into account, and write about what you dig. Even if you don't write, figure out what means the most to you, and indulge in it. How's that for writerly wisdom? If I could expand platitudes like that into full-length books, I'd be a hit with the self-help crowd, and I could retire to the suburbs and become just like everyone else there. Wait, that's not the plan.
Seeing as how I've said what I wanted to say, I'm going to call it quits. As always, check out my first novel, enjoy your next gaming session, thanks for reading, and take it easy.

If you're just getting into photography, you will eventually stumble across Ken Rockwell.
Ken Rockwell's website is full of equipment reviews and (mis)information about photography, techniques, and settings. Members of the photography community, especially online, are constantly bombarded with questions or presented with "facts" from newbies who read something on his site.
Regardless of where we stand, the photography community at large does not take Ken Rockwell seriously, and neither should you. In fact, in his own words, Ken Rockwell doesn't take himself seriously either:
This website is [snip] a work of fiction, entirely the product of my own imagination…this site is my "aggressive personal opinion," and not a logical presentation of fact…I occasionally weave fiction and satire into my stories to keep them interesting…if you consider anything I say as an endorsement (God help you if you do, remember, I do this site as a goof)…
That really should say it all. His reviews are just one man's opinion, and should be taken with a grain of salt. If you're looking for photography-related tips and advice, there are plenty of more credible sources available than Ken Rockwell.
Rockwell's stance on other matters, such as RAW vs JPEG, the use of tripods, and general photography techniques, are often way off the mark.
There's a very good reason for that, and here's why:
Ken Rockwell is not a photographer
He is an affiliate marketer. Basically, affiliate marketing is an internet-based business where retailers pay affiliates (like Ken Rockwell) commissions when visitors click links that redirect to the retailer's website and/or make a purchase from the retailer.
Affiliate marketers typically blog about the products they're selling and offer up reviews in an effort to get more clicks.
Most large online retailers have an affiliate program, including the camera stores Rockwell includes in his articles:
Paid endorsements
While Ken Rockwell claims that he is "completely independent" and does not receive free gear from camera manufacturers, you need to understand one thing: Ken Rockwell is in this thing to make money.
There are currently just over 40,000 external links on his site, most of which point to camera stores and the gear that he is writing about. When you click those links, Ken Rockwell gets paid. He makes no bones about it, either:
I worked in broadcasting for decades, and saw how spending millions of dollars to make the best shows possible made billions of dollars for TV networks who gave them away free for the viewing. TV networks made these billions of dollars up in volume: advertising.
…I support my family from what this website brings in.
…The largest source of my family's income comes from when you use my links to these stores when you get your stuff.
Ken comes off as a lovable guy-next-door type who provides reviews and opinions from the Average Joe perspective. Surely you wouldn't mind helping him out with a small donation, or shell out $5 to print one of his pages, right?
When you donate to help support his growing family, you also help pay for an $800 wristwatch (above) and a $119,210 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (below):
I would argue that most of his site is a violation of the 2009 FTC Endorsement and Testimonial Guide which requires that websites fully disclose that visitors are about to click an affiliate (paid) link. You can see my compliance with this law on my About page.
Ken Rockwell acknowledges the law here:
I have no idea how to interpret the FTC Guidelines, but I think I've covered it here. I get paid from stores if you use my links to get your stuff, I accept donations and put up some ads, but I don't get paid to write anything and don't get free cameras. I don't even put up the ads; they're usually placed by third parties.
The above attempt is buried about half way down the enormous wall of text on his About page, which most readers are going to miss anyway. A site with 40,000+ attempts to sell you something should be required to let visitors know just how many times they're being panhandled.
According to web tracking site Cubestat, Ken Rockwell is generating nearly $500 per day from clicks on his website, which is likely a low estimate.
Inconsistent reviews
Here is what Rockwell has to say about the Nikon D300s on the camera's dedicated spec page, dated July 30 2009:
If I shot DX, this is Nikon's best camera ever, along with the much lighter and less expensive D90.
And here is what he says about the same camera on his Recommended Cameras page, last updated October 2011:
Nikon D300s: Not Recommended. Forget the old Nikon D300s. The newer D7000 costs less and is superior. Nikon still sells the old D300s for more money because it can, but don't you fall for it.
Rockwell bounces back and forth on other products as well, including the Nikon D3000. What was once good enough to be "carried around with him everywhere", he now labels as "Nikon's Worst DSLR – Ever". Still, there are no less than two dozen external links attempting to sell you the camera and related accessories on the D3000 spec page.
We're all entitled to change our opinions, especially if we believe something better has come along. But…
If you put stock in Ken's reviews, then why would you want to click a link to buy what he considers to be a horrible camera?
Why haven't those pages ever been updated if he has changed his mind? Is it because they contain paid links and he just doesn't care what you buy, as long as you click his links to make your purchase?
Quirky sense of humor, or liar?
Many photographers seem to dislike Rockwell for one reason or another. Those who do manage to tolerate him often cite his quirky and dry sense of humor as a source of amusement. But does it go further than that?
Rockwell claims to own a one of a kind, left-handed Nikon F100, which is shown on his home page. He also claims:
I even had a veterinarian friend in Africa who specializes in elephant care send me some phallus hide from the Loxodonta Africana (known for its flexibility and grip when wet) which I then had a local taxidermist apply to my camera in place of the original rubber. It took a lot of paperwork with the U.S. Dept. of Fish and Game but at least it doesn't peel off on my D1H as the rubber does.
Sounds completely ridiculous, right? An obvious goof. No one in their right mind would believe that he has a one of a kind camera with a grip made out of hide from an elephant penis. Then why would he go to the trouble of reversing this image (above right) to make it appear as though this left-handed camera actually existed?
On Rockwell's contact page, there is another image of this camera that is clearly edited. His hair is always parted on the other side, as documented in other photos on the site. The buttons on his shirt also indicate this image was reversed. If you look closely at the watch face, you can see that it is right-side up, showing that it was incorrectly pasted when the image was doctored.
In another prominent instance of fakery, Rockwell reviews the Tamron 10-24mm lens and claims this photo was taken at "Contract Flag Manufacturer's Display, World Trade Show, Shanghai, China".
Why then is the US flag featured in the center, surrounded by many state flags? In fact, this photo was taken at Sea World in San Diego, CA, which is near Rockwell's former home.
Is this another attempt at humor, or is he trying to trick the reader into believing he is a well-traveled photographer?
Ken Rockwell's site is riddled with nonsense like this. In his defense, he does come clean:
While often inspired by actual products and events, just like any other good news organization, I love to stretch the truth if it makes an article more fun. In the case of new products, rumors and just plain silly stuff, it's all pretend. If you lack a good BS detector or sense of humor, please treat this entire site as a work of fiction.
Ken Rockwell's site ranks #1 for photography-related tips and advice, and is often a first stop for newbies who don't know any better. If you're completely new to photography, it's best to avoid his site altogether, as you won't be able to sift through the nonsense and separate the good advice from the bad.
Rockwell claims that he has been "shooting seriously since he was 5 years old", which makes him one of the world's leading experts on photography, and that you should:
Always look at someone's portfolio before you ask their opinion. If the person spewing out advice hasn't made any great photos, you ought to ignore him.
…which is actually the best tidbit of advice on his site. After reviewing Rockwell's portfolio, many photographers agree that he has no idea what he's doing, and should be ignored.
Whether or not Ken Rockwell actually believes he gives good advice or makes controversial posts just for the sake of generating traffic to his site, one thing is certain: he is making money while doing it.
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that Rockwell designed his entire site from the start to establish himself as an authority on photography for the sole purpose of selling links. At best, he is a gear nut who discovered that he could make more money by selling links than selling his work.
One thing is certain: marketing comes first, photography second.
Those seeking information about equipment and photography in general would do well to simply skip Ken Rockwell's site and find more credible sources like the ones listed below:
Helpful Links
Equipment Reviews and General Photography – These are links to some of the more credible sources out there.
- Digital Photography Review - Probably the biggest photography gear site
- Popular Photography Magazine - Gear, how-tos, buyer's guides

One of the best sources for equipment reviews (and often the most overlooked) are the comments sections of online stores where gear is purchased. Many online retailers provide a comments or customer reviews section under individual product listings. Read those to see what actual buyers are saying!
Personalities – Here's a list of some good photographers with a large presence on the internet.
- Thom Hogan – Nikon guru (a must-stop for Nikon users)

Outside the Old City, this hotel offers a respite from the hustle and bustle and what it lacks in excitement, it makes up in hospitality and subdued charm—and children will enjoy the nightly puppet show. The modern rooms are tasteful and spacious but ordinary, though some overlook the pool and have a small balcony. The Chinese restaurant opens only for dinner, but a good multicuisine restaurant is open all day. For special occasions, ask for a demonstration of the elaborate

Even people habitually hostile to John Wayne movies tend to cast an indulgent eye on this rumbustious comedy-Western--partly because the Alaska gold rush setting seems more exotic than, say, Texas or Arizona, and because there are no Indians to discriminate against and no macho gunplay to fret about. As for John Wayne as all-purpose icon of male chauvinism, Big Sam McCord (the Duke) spends much of North to Alaska in a state of growing discombobulation because he has fallen in love with, and is thoroughly flummoxed by, "Angel" (Capucine), the woman he's brought back from Seattle to marry his heartsick partner George (Stewart Granger). Henry Hathaway directs in a broader vein than usual, but he hits pay dirt. Even Fabian, the latest pop music idol to be dragooned into supporting the elder roughnecks, is fun, and Ernie Kovacs is droll casting as chief "villain." --Richard T. Jameson

Imagine the web of people you have vicariously slept with through your other partners.
Imagine how it keeps extending, becoming more complicated and convoluted.
Imagine the moments when any of these lovers, out of passion, forgot protection.
Imagine the moments when they had their hearts broken by a partner that lied to them, or denied information, about sexual involvement with another person.
Imagine how long it would take for news of an STD somewhere in that web to reach you.
It take 5 minutes to get tested for HIV. 20 minutes to have a broad spectrum STD test. The majority of that time is spent waiting, filling out consent forms, or listening to the basic "we have to tell everyone this" stuff about test results and counseling. You wait 1-2 weeks for your results. You inform your partners. You get treated for anything you have (if anything).
STD testing is important for everyone regardless of race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. All forms of sexual contact can spread STDs. People involved with multiple partners increase their risk due to the development of this web of vicarious lovers. Especially in circumstances of non-penetrative sex contact where people normally don't even think about protection.
If you don't want to get testing done at the doctor's office because you're afraid of being judged/shamed, results being reported to insurance, or another personal reason, look into community testing resources in your area. Almost all are free, many provide the medications for treatment free or at a discounted cost, and you will not be judged. Almost all community testing resources are 100% confidential, except having to report numbers to Health Departments, and in some circumstance of particular STDs, report to your previous partners that they were exposed to someone with that STD. The reporting to previous partners often involves a phone call requesting they get themselves tested, and no name disclosure.
As a rule of thumb: Get tested prior to engaging in sexual activity with any new partner, and at minimum get tested once a year as part of a yearly health exam. Know what the warning signs of STDs look like. Know what they look like if your partners are affected.
Afraid of needles? The majority of STD tests are 98% accurate when non-needle, blood free, minimally invasive methods are used (urine sample, cervical swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab).
In order to prevent STDs, always use protection. If you think you're going to be in a circumstance where it would be inconvenient to use protection and you have a vagina or anus that's going to be used for sex, consider an internal condom (also known as a vaginal or "female" condom). These can be placed in the body cavity and left for up to 6-8 hours prior.
There have been recent reports of STD forms of bacterial necrotizing fasciitis infections in the San Francisco area of the United States, and new reports are popping up all over the country and world in previously unaffected areas.
Show your partners, your partners' partners, and everyone in your life that you may have sexual contact with that you care about the health of yourself and those around you. Please, take the time to get tested and protect those around us that we love.
One of the easiest ways to show people we love them is to respect our health and their own.
If you need help acquiring information on STD testing, no matter where you are, send us a message. If you have any questions about protecting yourself and your partners, please ask - L works in a health care facility and provides education and counseling on STDs as well as having a history of healthcare training. P has bachelors degree in Public Health and can provide help as well. Sadly, we cannot provide medical advice beyond very basic educational information.
Love Infinite and Best Wishes for the Health of Everyone in Our Community,
I don't need to imagine this. It happened to me. Please, get tested, as often as is sensible.
