As MBTA fares stand now, one-third of Boston-area youth between the ages of 12 and 21 can't afford to pay their way to work, school, healthcare, sports and extra curricular activities, according to organizers behind an escalating push for a $10 monthly MBTA youth pass.
"We polled the youth population and this is the figure young people feel they can afford," said YAC Coordinator Caroline Casey, 23.
The coalition is not the first to call on an extremely discounted youth pass. For the past eight years, activists from the Boston-area Youth Organizing Project, Youth Way on the MBTA Boston Student Advisory Council and more have called for the pass, Casey said.
The group's voice is getting louder, with an online petition collecting nearly 500 signatures, and a paper petition collecting hundreds more. Next Wednesday, activists are expected to embark on a Boston Youth Power March from Park Street to MassDOT, where they will stage a die-in, sometimes known as a lie-in, and deliver testimonials.
Organizers are using Facebook and Twitter to collect supporters, and are rallying followers with the hashtags "#YOUTHPASS" and "#NOHIKES."
When asked whether the T would consider a $10 youth pass, a spokeswoman pointed to the already discounted youth pass and said transit officials maintain an active dialogue with activists.
"'Active dialogue' is an interesting way of putting it," Casey said. "The MBTA is fully aware of the suffering… This line that their hands are tied is a myth."
Organizers haven't lost hope, Casey said, but with little to show after years of campaigning, the frustration is nearly tangible.
"They're really angry," she said. "They're tired of being told there is no money, then reading in the paper that $20 million will go toward late night service because a few yuppies want to get drunk and go home late."

Youth action spurs MBTA and MassDOT to develop Youth Pass pilot
"Following our Youth Affordabili(T) Coalition's (YAC) sit-in in June, which ended in arrests of Youth Pass supporters, the MBTA agreed to set up a working group to develop a pilot program for our Youth Pass. YAC members will participate in the project planning and research, preparing for a trial period beginning July 2015." Read more...

("Forest River"), filed a motion for extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's, Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC ("Heartland"), motion to dismiss. This Court notes that it is difficult to determine the exact reasons for Forest River's requested extension of time.

Look out! Here come the Extreme Radio-Controlled Southern Belles!
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 - 8:22am
This commercial is so convincing, we just want to go out and get us some Turbo Heather Xtreme Radio Controlled Southern Belles. Too bad these antebellum babes weren't available back in the early 1860s, when we really needed them.
This brilliant video appeared late yesterday (6/1/09), and makes us wonder, is there such thing as June Fool's Day?

There's good news for riders of the L and M subway lines.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it plans to increase service in the fall because of a growth in ridership.
One of the major changes will be an increase in L weekend service, which the MTA hopes will lower wait times.
The MTA will also increase weekday evening L service by three additional round trips.
This is in addition to the service increases that go in effect in June.
The L has shown the most growth of any line in the subway system.
On the M line, there will be one additional round trip on weekday trains. That's in addition to a weekend extension from Myrtle Avenue to Delancey Street-Essex Street that starts in June.
The additional service will cost the MTA $1.7 million annually.
The exact start date has not been released.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
You can see a brief history of the Pledge HERE.
In the "reception history" of the Pledge of Allegiance, I would like to note two interesting changes of practice. First, during World War II, even though the tradition had been to give a salute during the pledge, because it resembled the Nazi salute, it was changed to a more devotional right hand over the heart. Second, "under God" was added within the first decade of the Cold War, by President Eisenhower, to differentiate ourselves from the "godless" Communists. Catch that? The pledge of allegiance is not an oath of loyalty to the government (it does not mention the Constitution, which is the highest authority in the land), but rather it is actually is a de facto secular doxology to the g*d of civil religion, thanking g*d we are not like our enemies. That is the lasting legacy of the Pledge of Allegiance: it keeps us blind to how much similar we are to our enemies, and thus we maintain double standards, especially in the area of foreign policy.
When it comes to prayer, should not a person know which g*d she/he is praying to? I just am not sure which God America is under. If one takes a look at its practices, one can hardly say its a god who works for "liberty and justice for all." As a child in elementary school, I really enjoyed citing the last part of the pledge more any of the others, because liberty and justice sounded like such good things. Yet, I had confused these secular ideas with notions of freedom and righteousness one reads in Scripture. Is liberty primarily about individual rights (as suggested by American tradition) or it liberty about being free to serve and work towards the liberation of others (a Christian understanding)? If it is the latter, the secular doxology that we call only "the Pledge" is the very anti-thesis.
Lastly, the original Pledge's practice of a military salute normalizes proves that the Pledge's goal was to make war as THE mode of ethical formation in U.S. American education. In other words, WAR is the great teacher of what a society should look like. This is why nowadays, even though civilian and military culture are separated politically, Presidential candidates are always questioned for their masculinity, and how far they would be willing to go when it comes to defending the country (i.e., pre-emptive attacks, neo-conservativism, bringing democracy to the Middle East). If one recalls in the 1990s, there was this grassroots movement by parents to censor violent movies and videogames, but you don't hear about such activities anymore; why? Because WAR is that great pedagogue that we receive our morality from. One has to look no further than John Kerry's campaign as well as George W. Bush's 1st campaign to see that military records, while having nothing to do with policy making, do matter. While I will deal with the issue of the Presidency in a later post this weekend, for now, I will say that saying the Pledge is an idolatrous act of worship, and we,as Christians, should not feel compelled to recite it.

Treat your ears to classical sounds in the city's most beautiful concert halls.

Join in and win a trip to Vienna!
Your apple strudel and ring cake will taste even better when accompanied by music - mostly on the piano, sometimes with soloists as well. Here, we present you with a selection of concert cafés that offer a regular program of music
(see café address for precise times):
Café Schwarzenberg is the oldest café on the Ringstraße, having been founded in around 1860. Piano concerts are played here in the vicinity of the Musikverien, Konzerthaus and Ronacher. Almost opposite, the Hotel Imperial opened its doors for the first time in 1873 - also for regular coffee house guests, such as Sigmund Freud and Anton Bruckner. For example, the Imperial Cake, a popular souvenir, can be enjoyed here to the music played on the Bösendorfer grand. Café Landtmann was also established in 1873 - guests such as Gustav Mahler, Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider, Burt Lancaster and Sir Paul McCartney listened to the piano here. Also on the Ringstraße, opposite the Museum for Applied Art, is Café Prückel. Its interior from the 1950s inspires coffee house and design fans. Piano concerts are as much a part of the Prückel as newspapers and coffee.
The concert café Weimar near the Volksoper has existed since 1900 and remains a popular meeting place for audiences and artists alike. There is live piano in the historic ambience, with operettas, swing and jazz evergreens. At Café Sperl, which opened in 1880, Thonet chairs, marble tables and crystal chandeliers create a timelessly elegant ambience that opera lovers appreciate as a way to get in the mood for a performance at the nearby Theater an der Wien.
Schönbrunn Palace is the imperial setting of the Café-Restaurant Residenz. The music plays in the coffee house room upstairs, while the imperial bakery in the basement offers the opportunity to dive into the secrets of Viennese baking art during the Apfel Strudel show. The café-restaurant Meierei Schönbrunn in Schönbrunn Palace Park was originally built as a games pavilion for Emperor Franz Joseph and his siblings - today, you can feast on delicious pastries here, accompanied by music.
The former regular café of Thomas Bernhard, Café Bräunerhof, lies in the heart of the Old City antiques district between the Imperial Palace and Graben. The Bräunerhof Trio (violin, cello, piano) plays a pot pourris of Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmán, Robert Stolz and the "Strausses". Around 1900, the poet, Peter Altenberg, frequented the legendary literati meeting place Café Central - music was offered here daily. The imperial shine of old Austria - with musical entertainment on Sundays - is brought to life in Café Hofburg, with its neighbors, the Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, Spanish Riding School, Treasuries and Imperial Silver Collection.
The concert café Schmid Hansl is home to Wienerlied (Viennese Songs), Jazz, blues, musicals and operetta, folk and brass music, whether national or international, classical or modern - everything finds its stage here.
Café Cobenzl on a hill in the Vienna Woods, high above the wine town of Grinzing, affords great views: not only of the city - which makes a visit here worthwhile on its own - but also in culinary and musical terms.

Is 4GW magnifique?
Summary: FM writer Chet Richards (Colonel, USAF, retired) describes what our military refuses to see, that 4GW has become the dominate form of warfare in our age. That others are mastering it, while we spend vast sums preparing for wars that will not occur again during our lives. And, like all war, 4GW is Hell. See the links at the end for more information.
We therefore repeat our proposition, that War is an act of violence pushed to its utmost bounds; as one side dictates the law to the other, there arises a sort of reciprocal action, which logically must lead to an extreme. This is the first reciprocal action, and the first extreme with which we meet (first reciprocal action).
— A warning by Clausewitz. From On War, Book I – On the Nature of War, Chapter I – What is War? #3 Utmost Use of Force.
Clausewitz's observation was made in the context of state-vs-state warfare, where, as he notes, the aim is to "disarm the enemy." In the form of warfare common today (called fourth generation or non-trinitarian warfare) that conclusion may not be so straightforward. For example, in the original paper on the subject, which introduced the term "fourth generation warfare," Bill Lind and his colleagues noted that:
First generation warfare focused tactically and operationally (when operational art was practiced) on the enemy's front, his combat forces. Second generation warfare remained frontal tactically, but at least in Prussian practice it focused operationally on the enemy's rear through the emphasis on encirclement. The third generation shifted the tactical as well as the operational focus to the enemy's rear.
Fourth generation warfare, like terrorism, might well move the operational focus back even further:
Terrorism takes this a major step further. It attempts to bypass the enemy's military entirely and strike directly at his homeland at civilian targets. Ideally, the enemy's military is simply irrelevant to the terrorist.
In fact, the will of the enemy population might become the "operational focus," as it was for the North Vietnamese.
So what does this suggest for the role of violence, and in particular, the tendency of the level of violence to escalate? Difficult to say. On the one hand, 4GW opponents, like the insurgents, terrorists, and narcotrafficking organizations from whence they sprang, see violence as a tool for influencing civilian (another term that needs to be reexamined in this type of conflict) populations. More may not necessarily be better, as one may awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve, to coin a phrase.
Looking at 4GW from the perspective of a state participant is also complex. Just killing more members of a non-state 4GW organization may not be an optimal strategy because for one thing, there is the well-known phenomenon of creating enemies faster than you can kill them, and for another, it is, as has been observed many times, difficult to carry out an attrition strategy against groups that espouse martyrdom. It is also possible — van Creveld would say inevitable, given enough time — that indiscriminate violence will alienate your own population, doing the enemy's job for him, as it were.
Another point, as Martin van Creveld has noted, is the strange fact, as apparently fact it is, that in these types of conflicts, the side that is more willing to die for its cause wins:
Compared with the willingness (or lack of it) , in men (and women) to die for their cause, virtually all questions of policy, organization, doctrine, training and equipment pale into insignificance. (The Changing Face of War, 228)
(which, if it is true at all, does not bode well in the long run for our strategy of drone warfare.) By escalating the level of violence, you may simply be playing into their hands.
Balancing all this is the human tendency of wanting to hit back as hard as possible. Consider, for example, the 9/11 attack, which bin Laden considered, and sold to his organization, as retaliation for US actions in the Muslim Middle East: If he had had a nuclear device on that day, would he have used it?
And then there is the prognosis by van Creveld himself, on the probable course of future, non-trinitarian warfare:
- The true, the beautiful, and the sacred will be its first victims (The Transformation of War, 204)
- It will be protracted, bloody, and horrible (212)
So I would not bet on the future of conflict being less violent than it is today. In fact, what has kept World War III from breaking out was not the existence of less violent alternatives, like "cyberwar," but the threat of immediate and assured destruction by the most violent weapons the world has ever known. It may be, as hinted at by Lind and his coauthors, that the world is groping for a way around this impasse analogous to how maneuver warfare/3GW provided a way out (Boyd's term) from the terrible increase in destructiveness brought on by the industrial revolution in the 19th century.
Note: There is no agreement on the term "fourth generation warfare." In addition to Lind, et al., and van Creveld, interested readers should consult T. X. Hammes' The Sling and the Sword. There is also a lot of reference material on the archived Defense & the National Interest website, and scroll down the right-hand column.

Could one remove the state from the state vs non-state conflict. At least in the publics awardness?
The state buys the services of non-state entity A to fight non-state entity B.
Problems with atrocities by non-state entity A could be drowned in the legal system or just ignored.
22 June 2012 8:05 pm
Rune Kramer writes: "Could one remove the state from the state vs non-state conflict. At least in the publics awardness? The state buys the services of non-state entity A to fight non-state entity B."
The Romans tried this. They hired mercenaries to fight their wars. As always happens, the mercs who conquer foreign lands for a pittance from the emperor grew tired of fighting for pennies and chose to cash in by conquering their paymasters. In 476 A.D., after being refused lands in Italy, German mercenaries under the leadership of the chieftain Odoacer captured and executed Roman magister militum Orestes and sacked Ravenna, the Western Roman capital at the time, deposing then-emperor Romulus Augustus. This was the final fall of the Roman Empire.
When a state prefers to hire mercenaries to fight its war rather than sacrificing the blood of its citizens for its sacred principles, its end is nigh.
Foolish American lawmakers and perfumed princes of the Pentagon, grotesquely ignorant of history, now toy with the same folly: see "U.S. Military Will Offer Path to Citizenship,"The New York Times, 14 February 2009.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. (Wikipedia) is a modern (fictional) example of what this sort of foolishness can lead to.
22 June 2012 7:54 pm
Chet's "generations of war" graphic is superb. In the best tradition of those great 19th century infographics (and the 19th century truly was the Great Age of infographics, not the 20th!).
basileunathco remarks: "The US should be very careful about engaging in 4GW at all."
4GW by definition has been waged by non-state actors against nation-states. As Martin van Creveld points out, the essential purpose of 4GW is to destroy the moral and political legitimacy of the state, so the weakness of the perpetrator of 4GW is an essential part of the equation of 4GW warfare.
"On the one hand there was the American Army, complete with helicopters, an air force, armor, electronic communications, artillery, and mind-boggling riches; to say nothing of ammunition, fuel, spare parts, and equipment of all kinds. On the other there were the [insurgents] who had been walking on foot for four months, carrying some artillery rounds on their backs and using a tin spoon to eat a little ground rice from a tin plate."
"That, of course, was precisely the problem. In private life, an adult who keeps beating down on a five year old – even such a one as originally attacked him with a knife – will be perceived as committing a crime; therefore he will lose the support of bystanders and end up by being arrested, tried and convicted. In international life, an armed force that keeps beating down on a weaker opponent will be seen as committing a series of crimes; therefore it will end up by losing the support of its allies, its own people, and its own troops. Depending on the quality of the forces – whether they are draftees or professionals, the effectiveness of the propaganda machine, the nature of the political process, and so on – things may happen quickly or take a long time to mature. However, the outcome is always the same. He (or she) who does not understand this does not understand anything about war; or, indeed, human nature.
"In other words, he who fights against the weak – and the rag-tag [insurgent] militias are very weak indeed – and loses, loses. He who fights against the weak and wins also loses. To kill an opponent who is much weaker than yourself is unnecessary and therefore cruel; to let that opponent kill you is unnecessary and therefore foolish."
Source: "Why Iraq Will End As Vietnam Did," Martin van Creveld, 2004 (!)
It is therefore unlikely-to-impossible for a nation-state to engage in 4GW, since the nation-state is by definition large and powerful and has political legitimacy by means of its size and power. In order to wage true 4GW, a group must consist of non-state actors and be weak and lack the perceived legitimacy of a nation-state.
If the current United States were to disintegrate into many different impoverished principalities run by local warlords, each with, say, an 18th-century GDP and economic level, then each of those fiefdoms might conceivably wage 4GW. But as long as the USA remains a group of united states and stays wealthy, with a large politically unified population who elect representatives as a whole people every 2/4/6 years (house, president,senate), it cannot by definition wage 4GW. It can only engage in the mass mechanized violence characteristic of the modern nation-state.
As drone warfare strikes increase in frequency and technology, the strikes will increase in payload and area coverage, soon converging on WW II/Vietnam/Iraw-style carpet bombing albeit done by UAVs. That's mass violence on a nation-state scale, not 4GW.
Or so it seems to me. But Chet is the real expert on 4GW here, so perhaps he can correct me if I'm mistaken.
Fred permalink22 June 2012 11:31 pm
"FM writer Chet Richards (Colonel, USAF, retired) describes what our military refuses to see, that 4GW has become the dominate form of warfare in our age."
Acuanny not . . . but maybe it has become the domiNANT force. "Dominate" is a verb, while "dominant" is an adjective. Perhaps a part of the American indifference to whatever it is that those who dominate us do these days, until it is too late, is that a good education is no longer a dominant priority, the above being only one tiny example of how ignorant many of us have become as education has been dumbed down to the point of boredom, so that schools can turn out more and more docile workers rather than critical thinkers.
24 June 2012 1:08 am
It seems like poor form to criticize people for typos. Especially when the critic types something like "Acuanny not." Chet has got a lot more authority and much better credentials and far more education on the topics he discusses than anyone else on this forum, IMHO. John Boyd did not pick people to carry on his work at random.

2012 Taken Napa Valley Red Blend
Review Date: 12-8-2014
When I first read the label "Taken" on this rather substantial bottle of wine I swallowed air, hesitated and looked around to see if Liam Neeson was watching from the shadows, waiting to gauge my reaction before throttling me. Fortunately no lurking Liam, but the uncorked wine was quite capable of seizing and transporting me anywhere it desired with its dazzling aromatics of fresh-picked blueberries, blackberry compote, dense mineral earth and rich Belgian chocolate. And to say my palate was held hostage for more than a few tense, spellbinding moments is an understatement, as this bold and beautifully supple Cab/Merlot blend continued to interrogate me with theatrical outbursts of expressive black fruits, lovely vanilla, wreathed tannins and savory espresso.... do yourself a huge favor and procure a case or more of this seductive wine for the holidays and beyond, I promise you will be quite captured, I mean, captivated by it....Happiest of Holidays!

2012 Textbook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-9-2014
Mention the word "textbook" and aside from the "textbook" definition, I flashback a decade or so to my poor niece Emily having to lug the equivalent of twenty pounds of school books in her beast of a backpack during the seventh grade. Fortunately times have changed, and today, with handheld tablets no one needs to be a human pack mule to get a decent education. Of course the best education for a student of wine is an uncorked bottle and a sparkling glass, allowing the winemaking talents of folks like Jonathan and Susan Pey to shine forth. With extensive experience in Bordeaux, Burgundy and the restaurant culture, they bring true sense and sensibility to their passion for wine, and their "newly published" Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon is defined by lovely aromas of ripe, juicy plums, succulent blackberries, licorice and camphor framed by subtly spicy oak, elegant tannins and scrumptious, mouthwatering acidity. An incredible Cabernet value, serve this throughout the holidays and into 2015. No homework required!

2013 Charles Smith "Kung Fu Girl" Columbia Valley Riesling
Review Date: 10-28-2014
True Kungfession: I get a real kick out of this super-smooth, fun and funkadelic wine from our talented neighbor to the north, Charles Smith, who somehow conjures up a domestic Riesling releasing zingy flavors of Fuji apple, Asian pear, ripe apricot and citrus blossom that manages to hit me smack dab right in the center field of my price to quality comfort zone, and easily scores big on the home palate. Blame it on playoff fever mixed with the need to take in plenty of essential stress-quenching liquids during this nailbiter Fall Classic, but this pure and luscious, slightly off dry beauty with the krazy name remains a world-serious wine and a surefire winner. Don't miss it!

2013 Rutherford Ranch Napa Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 10-22-2014
While this attractive charmer may not quite qualify as the "Hunter Pence" of Chardonnays, it does express his buoyant, infectiously-engaging personality and ability to generate hits with its unabashed aromatics and "give-it-your-all" flavors of ripe, luscious peach, glistening apple, creamy pineapple and mouthwatering citrus. It even manages a kiss of oak to balance the vibrant array of orchard fruits. A surefire hit with your base, and one to keep around for all your post-game and holiday celebrations......

2012 Ponzi "Tavola" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 9-28-2014
For anyone interested in reading more about West Coast Pinot Noirs, I'd strongly recommend Pacific Pinot Noir by John Winthrop Haeger, an exhaustively rich tome guaranteed to enhance your pleasure while delighting in a favorite bottle. I discovered, for instance, that Dick Ponzi of Ponzi Vineyards started out as an aeronautical engineer and once designed rides for Disneyland before re-venturing into his first love, winemaking, way back in 1969. His vibrantly talented and energetic daughter Luisa has been the winemaker since 1993, and her mastery of the nuances of their various vineyards in Willamette Valley is evident in this balanced, artfully-blended Pinot Noir. Bright fruits scintillate in the glass, revealing generous aromas and flavors of lush plums, black cherries, fresh violets and cola, with supple tannins and a touch of spice on the finish. A wonderful, generously mouthwatering everyday Pinot for sharing with fine friends and family. Drink up!

2012 Joseph Jewell Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 9-21-2014
Nothing exists in isolation. I was just listening to Tom Waits' hilarious cryptic dirge from Mule Variations, "What's He Building In There?" about a strange guy hammering "what the hell?" in his garage when I flashed on not just Jobs and Wozniak but a few of the famed California winemakersthink Burt Williams and Ed Selyemwho started out finicking, blending and canoodling with stuff in their garage. It comes as no surprise that two young "garagistes," Micah Joseph Wirth and Adrian Jewell Manspeaker, also finessed their first Pinot from such economies of scale, by realizing that measured growth, savvy inspiration and the right fruit go a long way in the creation of a well-crafted wine. Their latest cuveé, gathering fruit from three primarily cooler sites in the Russian River Valley, is a deft expression nothing overstated or overblown just pure, delicate aromas of black cherry, gentle spice, a kiss of rose petals and oolong tea leaves, sleekly stylish yet savory, touched by sultry tannins and warm earth. Now put down that hammer, turn up the music, sit back and enjoy a glass of great Pinot!

2012 Eyrie Vineyards "Estate Grown" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 9-8-2014
David Lett was barely twenty-five in 1965, fresh out of UC Davis, with a smart detour in Burgundy under his boots and a strong, irrepressible passion to make great wine. So the next year he and his wife Diana transported a few thousand Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other varietal cuttings up to northern Oregon and christened them on a few acres of pristine, southern-exposed slopes in the Red Hills of Dundee, thirty miles south of Portland. These were the very first Pinot vineyards in the Willamette Valley, and David Lett remained an outspoken, influential and wise presence in the region until his untimely death in 2008, affectionately nicknamed "Papa Pinot" by those who knew, respected and treasured him. I visited Eyrie this spring with several K&L staffers, and was met by David Lett's son Jason, who took over the winery in 2005 and was shepherding it through yet another growing season. Having grown up in the vineyards, he spoke with gentle ease about the sense of bestowed responsibility and challengesalways small production, a distinctive sense of place, uncompromising ethicsthat faced the winery as it entered its fifth decade, and of the importance of maintaining the Eyrie style of natural, lithely-textured, aromatically pure, age-worthy wines. A superb example that expressed the magnificent 2012 vintage, the Eyrie "Estate" Pinot was both rounder and riper than in 2011, with more lavish spice, silky red and black cherries and raspberry on the palate, pleasant acidity and a touch of iron earth and bramble on the fine, flavorful finish. A marriage of suave and sensual, and although age-worthy, this promises considerable charm now, as the tannins are well-integrated and impressively smooth. Lett it be!

2012 Eyrie Vineyards "Estate Grown" Dundee Hills Chardonnay
Review Date: 9-8-2014
Please note that our inventory of Eyrie wines is always rather scarce, as they just don't make very much wine, but what they do make, well this latest Chardonnay reflects what has been described by many as an epic vintagethe warmest summer in years, a long growing season allowing for perfectly balanced ripeness and acidity levels. But as with everything Eyrie, it's in the raw materialthe Burgundian clonal varieties scrupulously hand-chosen by David Lett over forty years ago that sets this delicately straw-colored Chardonnay apart, imbuing it with refined elegance and lingering aromatic complexity. Liminal notes of poached pear, quince, lees, apple and spice play upon the palate in a stunning wine that will continue to evolve for at least a decade, probably two.

2013 Michel Delhommeau "Harmonie" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
Review Date: 9-3-2014
Rocks. So much truth lies in rocks. And these particular ancient volcanic rocks named for a famous Swedish actress (or haven't you ever heard of Greta...Gabbro?), when married harmoniously to the right vines and gently cultivated sensibilities of a magnificent winemaking couple, will turn out splendid, finely-cut wines like the Harmonie, aptly named for both the lovely, leesy richness and tropical fruits that embrace and embellish the palate. These have always been personal favorites and I look forward to their return year after year after year. Enjoy!

2013 Michel Delhommeau "Symbiose" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
Review Date: 9-3-2014
Every time I taste these magnificent Muscadets from Michel Delhommeau I cannot but reflect upon the manifest destiny of the wondrous grape- Melon de Bourgogne, from which they're created. Although it originated in Burgundy, it eventually managed to migrate, swim or magically rediscover its true and lasting home beside the rapturous sea in Muscadet. Imbued with sublime, effortlessly clean, lime pith and minerally-precise flavors, the Symbiose is a slightly weightier, glycerin-textured, richer companion to the excellent Harmonie. Remember, don't be shellfish, and share it with special friends!

Once knew a very fine fisherman who generously invited us over for fresh-caught salmon, so fresh in fact that it tasted like it leapt from the cold Pacific waters right onto the hot coals. Looking back, I wish I'd had of bottle or two of this beautifully-delineated, expressively-textured, citrus and mineral-enhanced Sancerre at the time to complement the astronomically-gastronomic flavors of the grilled salmon. What a feast!

2012 Viña Robles "Estate" Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 7-23-2014
With its alluvial sandy loam soil, good drainage and excellent exposure, the Jardine Vineyard possesses ideal conditions for growing crisp and flavorful Sauvignon Blanc, and this affordably tasty version reveals why Paso Robles has become the new California hotspot for fine wine cultivation. Tropical fruits from guava to passionfruit, highlighted by lemon and grapefruit "citricality" and a touch of minerality perform a lively dance number upon the palate. A lovely, versatile wine for parties and summer picnics with family and friends. Cheers!

Sometimes I just have to scratch my head in wonder. Foucher-Lebrun made only 250 cases of this little bejeweled bijoux of a wine, all from select parcels grown on the magical mineral border between Touraine and Haut Poitu. We're somehow (scratch, scratch) able to pass it on to your discerning palate for a song, and yes, rest assured, this little Sauvignon songbird sings~ a melodious lemony tweet, followed by a tympanic flourish of white peaches, pineapples and delicate floral notes, with an enticingly crisp, delicious finish! What a delight!

2011 Fossil Point Edna Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 6-23-2014
Because of its proximity to the ocean, Edna Valley has always been an excellent showcase for reliable, deliciously well-made Central Coast Chardonnays, often promising luscious, full-flavored fruit and balanced acidity. Fossil Point has fulfilled this tradition in an expressive wine brimming with flavors of orange rind, dried pineapple, and comice pear, complemented by a delicate creme brulee note and welcome acidity. A good match for slow-roasted chicken, baked fennel casserole or picnic ham.

2010 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 4-18-2014
In 2010, a lingering cool spring in the Southern Rhône severely reduced crop yields and extended the harvest well into October, allowing the happy grapes to reach sublimely intense levels of both richness and structure - the result one of the greatest vintages ever in the Rhône Valley. And who reaps the rewards? Enter E. Guigal, perhaps the Rhone's chief exponent of excellence, delivering an amazing spectrum of quality wines year after year. Their entry-level Côtes du Rhône, with redolent aromas and flavors of cherry, black plum, wood smoke and spice possesses astonishing degrees of balance, complexity and mouthwatering texture for a very modest price. Most definitely a "win-win(e)"...Enjoy!

The following situation is typical for many production plants: After a routine quality check, the production process is stopped or an already produced batch is suspended, because the analysis results were not within the relevant critical values. But does the tested product really deviate from the specifications? The quality control managers are convinced of this because modern analysis instruments provide results with very low tolerances. The sample in question was tested several times and the result was confirmed. The question is why the product does not match the specifications although the production parameters have not been changed in any way. In this white paper read why milling is an important stage in sample preparation to ensure reliable and reproducible results.

Be Yourself: The 7th Secret to Fearless Speaking
May 3, 2012 By Doreen Hamilton Leave a Comment
You can be yourself and speak without fear
The confidence to express yourself and speak in any situation is liberating. When you know who you are, then a strength from within guides and supports you as you face life's daily challenges. You can be more genuine in all of your communications. Not only can you accept a new promotion that requires you to give presentations to large audiences, you can also share more of your tender vulnerability with your loved ones. Whether in business or in intimate settings, your communications can be delivered in a more genuine and powerful way.
Fearless speaking is the key to happiness
It is no secret that being comfortable with who you are are is one key to happiness. But what is the relationship between being yourself and fearless speaking? Well, in creating happiness that is authentic and sustainable, you will continually need to
- Speak up
- Make requests
- Articulate your needs
- Reveal your feelings in an honest manner
In other words, it is your interactions with others and how you speak to them that either opens doors to a happier and more fulfilling existence or blocks you from moving forward in your life and accomplishing your dreams.
Fearless speaking gets results
Fearless speaking is being able to step into any interaction and say the words that are needed in order for you to be heard and get the results you desire. But if you are afraid that you will be judged or criticized, and you hold yourself back from expressing your true beliefs, desires, and feelings, then the real you is hiding in the shadows of your own making. When you can speak without fear, you will be able to
- Confront those who might otherwise intimidate you
- Give any kind of presentation to any kind of audience
- Ask for a deserved promotion or raise in your salary
- Offer your point of view during a project meeting
- Let your friends know how much you need them
- Tell your loved ones how precious they are to you
Doreen's Fearless Speaking Tip: You can continue this list with examples from your own life. Ask yourself how it is that being yourself could lead you to speaking without fear. What changes could be made in your life if you were not afraid to speak? Imagine the most amazing results that will take place in your every day life when you are a fearless speaker and ask yourself if you truly desire these results?

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
This article provides an expert explanation of the various kinds of patents, including utility patents and design patents, along with a practical description of the complete patenting process.
This article is a primer for entrepreneurs who need to understand the basics of intellectual property law as a precursor to selecting how to protect their intangible assets, trade secrets and know-how, trademarks and trade names, patents and patent applications, and copyrights.
Business conflicts are inevitable, which means you need legal counsel to guide you through potential litigation. This article is a comprehensive review of alternative courses to litigation, including arbitration, mediation, and private judging.
This legal expert provides ten tried and tested bootstrapping techniques.
Many entrepreneurs assume IP protection is part of the entrepreneurial process, and often don't ask the right questions to determine if it's the right path for them. In this story, the author shows how his team first identified a market need and a product solution, then considered patenting their product.
Carving a niche in a specialty business entails listening to customers for specific needs and becoming known in the industry as an expert or insider, says the cofounder of a broker-dealer that serves credit unions.
By 2015 there will be 500 million people under age 30 in China--roughly the population of the entire European Union. And they aren't idolizing Lei Feng, a devoted follower of Mao. They are looking to figures such as Bill Gates and Michael Dell, says Ge Dingkun, a professor of entrepreneurship at China Europe International Business School in Shanghai.
Young people, barely a generation removed from Chairman Mao's strict communism, are embracing entrepreneurship. The incomes of twenty-somethings in China grew 34% in the past three years, the largest growth of any age group, according to a survey by Credit Suisse. While large industries in China--such as banking, steel, telecommunications and electricity generation--are still essentially state-owned, a growing chunk of new wealth being created comes from the hard work and vision of scrappy upstarts.
The founder of a junk-removal franchiser advises seeking support and information from peers in small group networks sponsored by entrepreneurial peer organizations.
A strong knowledge of markets and values and knowing up front what you want to achieve are keys to successful negotiations. This entrepreneur tells the story of how the creative structuring of a unique deal became a success for all parties involved.
Entrepreneurs who outsource assignments must choose contractors who know their industry and specify what they expect from them, says the founder of a consultancy.

I have two black tin boxes like the white ones~~they're pharmacy reciept boxes. I have a friend who opened a vintage/thrift store in an old drugstore and she has been gracious enough to put aside all the drugstore/pharmacy related items that where in the building when she purchased it, for me to have 1st dibbs! I've been lucky enough to get old bottles,beakers,finger scales with the weights,a pill counting tray complete with the silver 'stick thingy' used as not to touch the pills with the fingers and even the pharmacist's diploma! This building had not been used since the late 60s, but had been maintained by the late owner's family. The treasures it contained where of no interest to them, lucky me!

Gold Rush Showdown is a wild west themed video slot from WagerWorks. The slot uses a fairly uniform five reels with 20 paylines with everything else being anything but standard. This is one of the most energetic, feature rich video slots around at the moment as it includes five features. Two of these require user interaction and all payout handsomely.
Jackpot hunters won't be disappointed either because Gold Rush Showdown includes a 10,000 coin top payout. Finally a slot which lives up to its name, Gold Rush Showdown is here!
Using the Gold Rush Showdown Slot
Before hitting the spin button you will want to take a look at the stake options and lines. Both of these will alter your total stake which is shown on the righthand side of the screen.
Stakes range from 0.10 to £/€/$1 and can be toggled up or down using the respective buttons.
You may choose to reduce the default maximum of lines from twenty to any number with a minimum of one. These lines will then use one coin, the value of which is chosen using the stake buttons (see above).
You will notice that a yellow gamble button has been included. You can use this if you want to gamble any win during normal play or after a bonus game.
Gold Rush Showdown Video Slot Features Explained
Wild Bull icons appear on any reel and act as a substitute icon for all others barring scatters.
The Showdown Bonus game is awarded when a cowboy appears on the first reel combined with a bandito. You can take the position of cowboy yourself or opt for auto shoot mode. You are faced with an impressive backdrop where bandits appear from every position. An instant cash reward is paid for every bandit shot and you receive a larger bonus if you defeat the boss at the end of the round.
Another automatic in-reel shootout is triggered when one or more bandits appear. This requires no user involvement.
Three or more prospector icons transforms the screen into a treasure map. You receive three chances to find the prospectors gold.
As you can see Gold Rush Showdown is very feature rich, carries a 10,000 coin jackpot and is great value. Try it yourself for free above.

Race, real estate on collision course
|Melle Powers and LeRoy McClain star in 'Clybourne Park.' Credit: T. Charles Erickson
Allow one "colored" family to move into "Clybourne Park" and the real estate value of all the lovely homes in this pearly white region will go down the tubes.
That's what playwright Bruce Norris' character Karl (Alex Moggridge) maintains in the first act, of "Clybourne Park" which takes place in 1959. The second act is a fast forward to 2009, and the same home that was sold to a black family is now for sale. This time, a white couple wants to buy it.
They envision the whole black neighborhood renovated into an upscale "gentrified" area. However, the black couple that now owns this home is reluctant to sell it because of its black history. The dialogue that came out of the white man's mouth is now, 50 years later, the same dialogue that the black man utters.
During the first act, Bev (Alice Ripley), who is selling her house to a black family, asks Karl "In principle, don't we all deserve to — Shouldn't we all have the opportunity to, to, to —?
Karl responds with: "But you can't live in a principle, can you? Gotta live in a house."
Thanks to director Eric Ting, who directs with clarity and insight, this play becomes the point of where "race and real estate collide." A Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the inspiration for it came from Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun." However, the characters in this play are not as believable as the characters in Hansberry's work.
For starters, none of these characters engages the audience. Even the first white couple, Bev and Russ (Daniel Jenkins), grieving for the loss of their adult son, don't bring a tear to the eye.
The actors are all top-notch and the direction is good, so the fault lies with the play itself. It's a good play and it cleverly turns the real estate table upside down, but it has its problems, most especially with cardboard stereotypical characters.
Because of its clever format, the actors all play double roles. The cast pulls this off well. Jimmy Davis, Leroy McClain, Lucy Owen and Melle Powers make up the rest of the cast and all manage to switch in and out of roles convincingly.
There are as many funny lines in this play as there are provocative lines. What is sad is that "A Raisin in the Sun" opened in 1959 and "Clybourne Park" opened in 2010. Some progress has been made, but not enough to make this work a history play.
The Long Wharf set, designed by Frank Alberino, is quite amazing with its long staircase and multiple rooms. Truth be told, it's pretty exciting to watch the set change. The interior of the once-stately home turns into a run down, graffiti decorated house for the second act. During intermission, the stage crew disassembled the set by knocking down walls, pulling out carpeting and creating magic right in front the audience. Linda Cho's costumes were appropriate with Tyler Micoleau's lighting and Elizabeth Rhodes' sound designs, accenting the set well.

BEARPAW Women's Abigail Winter Boots 21 21
Great Boots I have owned these boots for a year now. I read a few reviews saying they had issues with theirs, but not me. Soles have held up. Material has held up. Super warm and comfy. A lady said the area up to the calves is to wide/loose for her, looks perfect with my skinny jeans tucked in them! November 14, 2014
Better than Uggs Why pay $200 for Uggs... These are great. Holding up great and comfy!! November 11, 2014
Wonderful boots! Bots were just what I wanted and expected. I am thinking about getinf another pair in a different style December 15, 2014
very durable These boots were just as advertised. They are very durable and fashionable without the competitor's price tag December 13, 2014
The boots came with a broken strap! I returned the boots because after a couple of months of wear the soles split in half. I got my replacement boots and they came with a broken strap. So, kinda disappointed! March 30, 2014
had ro return 2 times since jan 19 2014 for falling apart Would not have bought this product not once but twice if not my daughter favorite boot. there poorly made March 6, 2014
Awkward sizes Usually a 10 or 10 1/2, the 10's were too small and the 11 fit in my foot, but not in the ankle area. There was too much space in leg/ankle portion. Also I found all of the boots I tried were too narrow. 1/2 sizes might have helped, but they don't make half sizes. February 10, 2014
Very comfy snow boots! I didn't purchase the Bearpaw cleaning kit for $20.; just the orange & green can of weather protector, and these boots are so nice and comfy, as I haven't felt any cold or wetness wearing them outside in midwestern semi-harsh weather with regular socks. January 15, 2014
Do not waste your money! Warm and comfortable until you walk in them. I wore for about one hour and ended up with a blister on my ankle from the material rubbing. January 14, 2014
HORRIABLE AFTER TWO TIMES OF WEARING ALL THE FUR CAME OFF IN THE INSIDE HORRIABLE BOOTS ! NOW LOOKS LIKE I AM WALKING ON CARDBOARD AND SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!! December 16, 2013

According to People, the 19-year-old Frances Bean Cobain, who made some serious Internet noise earlier this summer in a photoshoot with Heidi Slimane, has gotten engaged to her boyfriend, Isaiah Silva. Silva, who is the lead singer of L.A. rock group the Rambles, and Cobain have been going out about a year and recently posted engagement-related Facebook status updates. Courtney Love's go-to stationary guy must be pissed!
