Here is Eric Koreen's guide to the Eastern Conference for this year's NBA preview.
Boston Celtics
2011-12 39-27, lost in East final to Miami.
The big question Is Rajon Rondo ready to be the unquestioned offensive leader of the Celtics?
The smaller question Can Jason Terry replace Ray Allen?
Strengths With Rondo and shut-down guard Avery Bradley, not to mention Kevin Garnett, the Celtics will be elite defensively.
Weaknesses The team still seems too slow and Earth-bound to run with Rondo.
In seven words or less Slightly changed core, same old goal.
New York Knicks
2011-12 36-30, lost in first round to Miami.
The big question Can Raymond Felton — really? — and an old Jason Kidd replace Jeremy Lin?
The smaller question Can the rapidly deteriorating Amar'e Stoudemire stay on the court?
Strengths Carmelo Anthony and Stoudemire, when healthy, are two of the best offensive players at their position.
Weaknesses Beyond point guard, they lack perimeter defenders given the injury to Iman Shumpert.
In seven words or less Melosanity.
Philadelphia 76ers
2011-12 35-31, lost in second round to Boston.
The big question Is Andrew Bynum capable of being the best player on a playoff team?
The smaller question Is Evan Turner ready to validate his second-overall selection in 2010?
Strengths Bynum is the league's second-best centre. The rest of the front court is smartly constructed.
Weaknesses A complete lack of perimeter scoring experience.
In seven words or less After L.A. apprenticeship, Bynum gets Philly's keys.
Toronto Raptors
2011-12 23-43, missed playoffs.
The big question Will Jonas Valanciunas fulfill the hopes of fans hoping for a draft home run?

Chicago Bulls
2011-12 50-16, lost in first round to Philadelphia.
The big question How will they survive without Derrick Rose?
The smaller question With an injured Rose and an overworked Luol Deng, who will Tom Thibodeau play for more than 40 minutes per game?
Strengths One of the league's elite defences to go along with one of the league's elite coaches.
Weaknesses Without Rose, there is no offensive game-changer here.
In seven words or less A wasted year without their superstar.
Indiana Pacers
2011-12 42-26, lost in second round to Miami.
The big question Solely through internal improvement, can the Pacers progress further in the playoffs?
The smaller question Is George Hill ready to be a full-time starting point guard?
Strengths Scoring (David West), size (Roy Hibbert) and depth (Tyler Hansbrough, Ian Mahinmi) up front.
Weaknesses No perimeter star, especially considering a drop in production from Danny Granger.
In seven words or less Internal improvement isn't flashy; is it smart?
Milwaukee Bucks
2011-12 31-35, missed playoffs.
The big question Monta Ellis. Brandon Jennings. One Basketball. Really?
The smaller question When will the Bucks officially tune out Scott Skiles?

The big question Can Kyrie Irving go from rookie of the year to superstar?
The smaller question Can controversial fourth-overall pick, Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiter, prove the Cavaliers right?

In seven words or less It's getting better, Cleveland, but not enough.
Miami Heat
2011-12 46-20, won NBA Finals.
The big question What can LeBron James do for an encore, after the Year of LeBron?
The smaller question How will Ray Allen fit in?
Strengths The best player in the world without the burden of unmet expectations, plus upper-tier secondary stars.
Weaknesses They are still missing an interior intimidator.
In seven words or less The team to beat, despite Dwight's move.
Atlanta Hawks
2011-12 40-26, lost in first round to Boston.
The big question After trading Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams, what is the plan?

The smaller question Is draft pick Bradley Beal the right backcourt-mate for Wall?
Strengths Okafor and Nene should give the Wizards size and leadership up front.
Weaknesses Elite perimeter scoring, with Beal hopefully the answer to that.
In seven words or less An experiment to resurrect Wall's career.
Charlotte Bobcats
2011-12 7-59, missed playoffs.
The big question Can the Bobcats be less historically awful than they were last year?
The smaller question Was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist worthy of the second-overall pick?

In seven words or less Last year was the nadir, right?

While we were getting all excited about the clothes at New York Fashion Week, some famous men were up in Toronto at some little film festival, walking red carpets and taking "photo opps" and wearing nice suits and all that.
Among these guys, many of whom looked quite nice, it was Colin Firth that caught our eye. Over and over, in fact. His hair is greying in a nice way an ashy, dusty color that looks great with his tan, but not too tan, skin. All week, he was wearing Tom Ford and other natty suits, often without a tie, always with a white shirt, the proportions just right. This is no skinny suit. The jacket is neither short nor trendy. The lapels are peaked. It's a man's suit. For a man. One who happens to looks excellent.

Landlord/Tenant Cases
Landlord/Tenant cases are scheduled for hearing on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. in the Civil Division of the General District Court. Most often, these cases are filed on an unlawful detainer (DC-421) form requesting possession of the property, plus any rent and/or damages that are due. It is very important to comply with the law when filing an unlawful detainer action, especially in regards to timeliness of service and any notice of termination that must be served prior to the filing of the unlawful detainer. The Court provides a handout on Landlord/Tenant Practice in the Fairfax County General District Court that may be requested at the Civil Clerk's Office in Room 211.
Cases involving foreclosure are heard on their own designated docket at 2:00 p.m., usually on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. A list of foreclosure docket dates is available in the Civil Clerk's Office in Room 211.

Striker magnetic LED light brightens tight places from a dozen angles
Friday, February 27, 2009 - 1:13pm
This golf-ball-sized flashlight is unlike any other, shaped like a underwater mine and
bristling with LEDs loaded with one particularly powerful LED. Its twelve points are tipped with powerful neodymium magnets, clinging to any steel surface and letting you aim it every which way.
That LED inside benefits from the recent advances in those high-efficiency light sources, so this little hotshot can blast out the light, and fits in tight places while doing its illuminating work. Such a deal at around $9.

Solar-powered shaving
January 27, 2012
Let's face it.The shaving aisle in your typical drug or grocery store has grown tired.
Close your eyes and picture it: 10 rows each of Barbasol, Gillette Foamy, 'Store Brand' on the bottom, then a couple full shelves all Edge and Fusion. It's like all other sections of the store evolved over time, leaving shaving stuck in the 70's and 80's.
Since that doesn't stop people from needing to shave, long-established brands continue to focus their marketing on the razors and blades; Innovation in the form of 'high performance' (and increasingly expensive) shaving systems – despite an evolving market.
Since 2003, Pacific Shaving has been quietly making noise with natural and eco-friendly shaving essentials that are aligned with the cultural shift, consumer motivation and macro trends that the leading brands are not delivering on:
- Affordable, high quality, natural and safe ingredients
- Sustainability
- Eco-friendly business practices
So you can imagine how excited we are to add this to our growing list of accomplishments:
Solar-powered shaving products.
That's right. Our longtime manufacturing facility has just completed a huge investment in solar and green technology with the installation of 100,000 watts of solar energy. The result? Maximized energy efficiency, minimal waste, reduced climate-damaging emissions and an overall positive effect on the environment. All packed into that small but mighty Pacific Shaving product.
Solar powered shaving products? That's right. Coming soon to stores everywhere.
Move over Barbasol.
PS: Don't tell the 'establishment', but the truth is that it's not that hard. Domestic sourcing & manufacturing. Minimal packaging. Sustainable packaging practices. It takes just as much effort to choose these options as to elect not to, so why not choose the former? To run a business and take it personally (as I do), why wouldn't you do these things?
Save Money on Bullets
January 27, 2012
For most razor companies it's all about "giving away the gun to make money on the bullets."
As anyone who has ever purchased shaving gear knows, blades are a pricey acquisition. Razor manufacturers are making big money on the bullets.
At Pacific Shaving Company, we want you to shave smoothly, comfortably and whenever possible, frugally. That your shave may also be eco-friendly is an added perk.
Applying Blade Oil after your daily shave can extend the life of your razor blade by up to 95 percent. Just think of the razor blades you won't have to buy! Think of all the things you can do with those extra dollars! And think of the blades that are not adding to our landfills (the eco-perk).
The formula is simple: when your razor sits unused between shaves it oxidizes, which can lead to corrosion, which leads to a dull blade, which leads to a jagged edge and ultimately nicks and cuts.
Blade Oil stops oxidation. Blade Oil saves you money.

Shaving Tip #97: "Never in a moving car."
January 23, 2012
One of the most interesting parts of running a personal care products company is speaking with customers and learning about their standard primping routine, especially when it comes to shaving. The advice I receive often varies—and even contradicts at times. But one thing is clear: there is no shortage of it. It seems that when it comes to shaving, everyone has at least one great tip or 'lesson-learned' to share.
So a few years ago, we set out to compile a world-class list (for shavers, by shavers) of how, when, where or with what to shave. We reached out online and the response was overwhelming. We received hundreds of responses from men and women and after months of reviewing and editing, we've narrowed it down (sort of) to this pdf guide: 125 Tips for a Better Shave.
As you'll see, standard tenets of shaving came through ("try to shave in or after the shower"), while others contradicted ("Shave against the grain for a closer shave"; "Never shave against the grain"). Still others, while odd, seemed to just make good, common sense ("never in a moving car.")
For some it's a chore. For others, it's an enjoyable morning routine. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, you're sure to find at least one practical gem in this report. After all, here at Pacific Shaving Company, we're all about practical. We don't believe that anyone really needs high-tech shaving systems. We promote practical products, simple packaging and quality ingredients that get the job done—and even make the process enjoyable.
Add the Perfect Shave to Your (ShopRite) Shopping List
January 18, 2012
There's nothing like streamlining your to-do list. Really, what's better than compressing your errands into one trip, ticking off your must-dos with one multi-tasking can-do?
Need milk? Bread? Eggs? Shaving cream?
That sweet spot where groceries meet the best in shaving products can now be found at ShopRite — the grocery emporium that's been around since 1951.
We are super proud that our All Natural Shaving Cream and Nick Stick are now available at your local ShopRite!
We invite you to take care of your shaving needs while stocking up on dinner supplies. It's never been so easy.

Ingredient Spotlight: Argan Oil
January 12, 2012
There are some botanicals that are just plain magical. Like argan oil.
This stuff is where it's at.
Born from the kernels of the argan tree — native to Moroco — argan oil is prized for its supreme moisturizing qualities. Packed with vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it breathes new life into dry skin and other parched body parts like cuticles and hair.
And it's safe for all skin types. Yes, even oily, acne-prone skin will benefit from this oil's lightweight touch.
I've used argan oil alone and found it to absorb quickly and easily, putting it at the top of my go-to moisturizers. So, I was super excited to learn that argan is part of the stellar list of ingredients that make up our new Daily Moisturizer.
Nothing like adding a shot of anti-aging, hyper-moisturizing goodness to your shaving routine.

My shave with Gillette Guard – the 9-cent razor blade.
January 1, 2012
About a year ago, I read an Article by Ellen Byron in the Wall Street Journal about Gillette's newest shaving system, just then being introduced into the Indian market. It wasn't the multi-bladed tool (is that a razor or a lawnmower?) that we've come to expect with each new product launch from the big razor manufacturers. In fact, it was just the opposite: a single blade razor that costs just $0.11 (now just $0.09 at today's exchange rate).
According to the article, the move was part of P&G's "push into emerging markets for new customers and growth…forcing P&G to be more modest on scale and more flexible on price. Gillette commands about 70% of the world's razor and blade sales, but it lags behind rivals in India and other developing markets, mainly because those consumers can't afford to buy its flagship products." (They aren't alone!)
So the company reverse-engineered the product for the market. It determined what the Indian market could afford to pay and then adjusted the product features to meet an acceptable COGs and necessary margin.
How did they do it?
Again, according to the article, "To cut costs, P&G eliminated the lubrication strip and colorful handle designs Indian men weren't willing to pay for. Though most men in the U.S. and Western Europe prefer a heavy razor handle, P&G found Indian men prefer a lighter weight, which also cut costs."
I had to wonder – if Gillette could manufacture a razor blade that sold for 9-cents, how could they justify a five blade razor blade selling for $5 here in the U.S. (instead of a more reasonable $0.45)? How different could the blades themselves actually be?
The curiosity was too much for me. I had to see for myself. Thanks to eBay member vishalmarketonline, it only took a few clicks (and about two weeks delivery time) until I had my chance. When the package finally arrived, I had a few days of stubble – perfect timing. I tore the razor open and went right to task. It was definitely a cheap-looking razor handle – maybe $0.02 of material – but the single blade looked legitimate as far as I could tell and I was willing to give it a shot.
Taking my time, I found that that the blade performed surprisingly well on the first pass. As a shaver who is prone to ingrown hair, particularly around my neck, I had already changed my shaving regimen to include fewer blades which helped tremendously. Given that, I pushed for a second pass directly against the grain – something I never do. In the end, I have to concede that it gave me a great shave.
The cheap handle aside, for 9-cents, it was about the best price-performer razor with which I've shaved. [Full disclosure, the price came closer to $0.48 by the time it got shipped to me, but still way ahead of this.] A little post-shave moisturizer and I was out the door. No nicks, no burn, no bumps. 2012 is already off to a good start! Namaste.
- Stan
Whoa! Now I think I know why they are 9-cent blades. I stand by my the earlier post above wrt shave #1. That said, shave #2 with the same blade was bru-tal! My neck has never burned more and even three days later still looks like I was dragged neck first across a gravel driveway. These are one-shave blades for sure.

Asus Eee PC X101ch - great disappointment
(I hope it'd right subforum.)
Well, I bought this netbook with Windows 7 Starter in it, which was one of 2 main reasons to buy it, the other being lightness, since i wanted to carry this netbook on short trips. Only later I found on various sites that experts were mocking our ("our" in meaning "you, poor suckesr that had purchased this eee pc"...) desire to have something light...
Anyway, I am writing on it now, and am regretting.
I should have waited for some Acer, real PC with 1.5 kg weight. Or some Toshiba.
Asus Ess PC X101ch is slow.
Ages before system is up.
I have Mozilla Firefox. I know now that I should expect short interruptions - Not responding pauses with the fox chasing its tail - every 5 minutes. It's better with IE.
I often get pop-info about some script running.
Keyboard is uncomfortable and i don't have meatball-fingers. It reminds on ancient mobile phones keyboards...
Surfing is slow, downloading and uploading of bigger files painfully slow or it remains unfinished after ages...
I find necessary to restart the system aftera while because of annoying Not responding and fox tails...
Is it about built-in shortcomings of this Asus Eee, or there are some adjustment??

with how you use it and what OS & program settings you can make.
1. Remove all start up applications & programs that have hungry ongoing processes.
2. Disable services that you don't need.
3. Ensure that you have updated and mature drivers and BIOS, especially chipset.
4. Forget about installing heavy AV applications or an Office suit. Get rid of them immediately
and go with just MSE/defender, and maybe one or two office readers.
5. Open only one or two browser windows at a time, and only run one browser at a time.
Increase your browser's cache so that you're not constantly downloading images of frequently browsed sites.
6. Stop & disable system restore & Remote Assistance.
7. Go into system properties and set it for performance, not best appearance.
8. Check your wifi.
9. Forget about multitasking.
Surfing is slow, downloading and uploading of bigger files painfully slow or it remains unfinished after ages...
Get updated drivers and turn off anything "phone home", like WU and AV.
(all this should be done by you manually)
Check task manager for a list of running processes and startup items with the intent of lessening the load on the processor.

The Asus Eee PC X101ch has only 1Gb (soldered!) RAM and cannot be upgraded (as you have already found out). I don't really care what Microsoft say but, in the real world, Windows 7 - even the Starter Edition - needs at least 2Gb RAM to even begin to work efficiently, let alone run programs on top.
As you can't upgrade the ram, you need to find ways around this limitation. Have a look at the comments in these Amazon reviews, particularly the one from Mr. P. Hoang "phunh" (london).
Hope this helps...

Clint gave you a pretty comprehensive list of things you can do to mitigate the issues you are facing. There are two main causes for that - a very low, non expandable, amount of RAM and a very underpowered CPU. I fear there is no way to overcome it, all you can do is try to minimize their effect.
If you can, try using Firefox instead of Chrome (or IE). It is the browser that uses the less amount of RAM: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Findin...ryBrowser.aspxRui

Few years previously, we by no means truly thought that storing memory cards would develop for you to one thing wonderful similar to directly into expensive credit cards which might be more popular today.

You know how some people dress fancy when they're feeling crappy? I definitely EAT fancy instead.
Mmm breakfast parfaits. Such a refreshing and well-rounded meal. They're so pretty too! Lately, I like making them in clear glasses or bowls, so I can enjoy the layers :-) Here are my four steps to morning happiness...
- Greek Yogurt - Some might think I'm weird, but I LOVE Trader Joe's uber-thick and tart Greek Yogurt (Blueberry and Pomegranate flavors). Also PLEASE try their organic vanilla greek yogurt!!! I used to think vanilla yogurt was against nature, similar to chocolate yogurt, but then I tried this one. There are real vanilla bean flecks and it tastes like awesome. I also love me some Chobani.
- Granola - Trader Joe's Mixed Berry Granola. Crunchy heaven. Right up there with Biscoff spread in my unhealthy-addiction book. Sometimes I'll pick Special K Low-Fat Granola if I want to be good. Still yummy, but it definitely tastes better for you. (One day I will make homemade!)
- Fruit(s) - It depends on my yogurt flavor and time of year, but its typically bananas, raspberries or blueberries. Mmmmmmm.
- Repeat!

Taggart - Louis L'Amour
Here's a book I read just for the Read Outside Your Comfort Zone Challenge. I was lucky and found a few westerns on the free book exchange shelves at the office, and I'll be honest, I chose the book with the fewest pages. This book wasn't bad, I can see why he is a best-selling author - this would be a good book for someone who is not a big reader. Like the characters in the book, it carefully rode through my mind and left no real trail behind it. It wasn't as bad as I was afraid it was going to be, but it wasn't a book I am likely to read again or think much about now that I've finished it. I enjoyed it for what it was and it satisfied my needs for both the challenge and as a reader.

BMW model names can be rather cryptic. While other companies give their models names that suggest types of horses, astronomical phenomena, mountain ranges, Indian Nations, or strange combinations of syllables that suggest personality traits or royal personages, BMW models always have numbers and letters. These have specific meanings, however; in the case of your BMW 330XI, it means that your vehicle is part of the 3 series with a 3.0 litre engine that has siX cylinders and runs on gasolIne – hence, BMW 330XI. Parts for these remarkable and popular vehicles can be expensive, but a little comparison shopping can turn up some good deals on discount BMW 330XI parts.
BMW parts that are frequently changed are of course the various filters for oil, air and fuel. The air filter is probably among the least expensive BMW 330XI parts, but is perhaps one of the most important when it comes to fuel efficiency. When an air filter gets dirty, less oxygen is available to the fuel injectors, which ultimately wind up injecting more liquid fuel into the cylinders than is necessary. Any vehicle with a dirty fuel filter may be wasting up to 5% of its fuel, which can really add up these days! The next most frequently changed BMW 330XI parts are safety items, primarily wiper blades and lamps. The former should be changed one or twice a year, depending on usage; lamps should be replaced as needed. By using quality BMW parts, you'll keep your vehicle in top form as long as you're driving it.
As soon as an item ships, we email your tracking number to you. Did you know most of the other BMW 330XI parts sites out there are all owned by the same company, we are one of the few independent BMW 330XI parts sites. Make sure to contact us with any questions about your BMW 330XI parts order. We carry all kinds of BMW 330XI replacement parts No delivery fee on any BMW 330XI parts orders over $75 smackaroos. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to help you find the auto parts you need for your vehicle. Call us toll-free.
Walter H. - Osborne Park, Australia: The pump arrived already today. I am pleasantly surprised how smooth this transaction was. My only comment: With a service like GLOBAL EXPRESS MAIL who needs UPS, FedEx or DHL etc. I am so impressed that I have just ordered another item.
Peter K. - Henderson, NV: I found you and I am very happy I did. Parts are great and the prices are great. I will be doing a lot of business with you. Thank You.

Fifty miles south of the city of Mendoza the valley of Tunuyan feels less like a valley and more like a vast, kneeling supplicant to the immediate, looming bulk of the Northern Andes mountains. Though the valley floor is massive -- sweeping away from the jagged, snow capped peaks in every possible direction as if it were trying to get out of the way of their falling bulk -- you never get the sense that it is very flat. No matter where you stand, the world seems to be constantly tipping up towards (or down away from, as the case may be) the peaks above, leaving the uneasy feeling that somehow if you stopped walking or closed your eyes for a moment, you'd fall over -- nudged off balance by a world pushed aside by the Andes.
The topological uneasiness caused by the very real angle of the alluvial plains of Tunuyan is accompanied by another phenomenon common to the world's most expansive landscapes. The ground seems nearer to the sky; and the two of them together -- the whole wide world -- contrive to make the human observer seem mouse-small in the face of its sheer grandeur.
In this landscape, it can be difficult to fully appreciate what is quite likely the most ambitious winery project on the surface the planet. In the shadow of great mountains, winemaker Michel Rolland, viticulturalist and managing director Carlos Mayer, and some of the world's most famous and influential winery families are building the crown jewel of Argentina's wine world. Clos de los Siete -- a partnership originally with seven investors (though some have subsequently pulled out) -- has become a semi-collective grouping of world-class wine estates who will each make their own wines while contributing some of their grapes to a single wine produced under the Clos de los Siete name.
Certainly the dirt and pothole-ridden pavement back roads that lead the visitor to the unmarked adobe-style gatehouse at the base of Clos de los Siete do not properly set the stage for the grandeur that lies in wait at the foot of the mountains. Driving past the gatehouse onto the lower roads of the property, which were beginning to show signs of their eventual groomed state when we visited about seven years ago, and even seeing the initial views of some of the vineyards and low-slung architectural forms of the wineries, it is difficult to get a handle on exactly what it is you are seeing.
For me, it took a short drive with Carlos Mayer to the top south-western corner of the property, the highest elevation point of the project, to fully understand the real scale of the numbers he was reeling off as we bumped along the dirt roads. 2092 acres of property at 1,200 meters above sea level planted, since 1999, with vines at 2500 plants per acre on a plot of land four kilometers long and two kilometers wide sounds like a lot of vineyard. Until you see it. And then you realize that it's a hell of a lot of vineyard.
As we bumped our way back down to the first of the winery buildings past the neighboring property overrun with head-high gorse and some sort of equally unattractive bush (which Mayer says indicates excellent soil infertility for grapes) I also got the sense of the unbelievable effort it must have taken to transform the landscape to the point at which grapevines (and irrigation pipes, and electrical wires) could be put into the ground. Clearly neither time, effort, nor expense were a barrier to success.
And it took only two steps into any one of the wineries on the property to fully understand how much expense we are really talking about.
Each winery on the property is an exercise in architectural expression as well as the stuff of winemakers' wet dreams. With a literal blank slate (and no doubt, blank checks from the owners) the wineries of Clos de los Siete are the most sophisticated custom winemaking facilities I have ever seen. Fully optimized for gravity flow, precise humidity and temperature control, workflow, cleanliness, and the exacting custom specifications of Mayer, Rolland, and the individual winemakers for each of the families, they would be impressive even without the stylish edifices in which they sit. The buildings themselves express the personalities of their owners, and no doubt their architects as well. From the postmodern Santa Fe visions of artist/illustrator Philippe Duillet (famous among other things for being the art director of the Star Wars films) at the Flecha de los Andes winery, to the low slung modernism-meets-Tuscan-castle of Cuvelier los Andes, to the majestic Boston-brick-warehouse monolith of Monteviejo.
It's all to easy to see only as far as the expression of massive wealth and ambition at play across the landscape here. These palaces here at the ends of the earth can, and likely will by some, be written off as an exercise of ego with no spending cap. But anyone who bothers to stay long enough to taste the wines being made here would have to be dead not to recognize that Rolland and Mayer and the individual winemakers of these properties are without question in the process of setting a new bar for Argentinean wine.
Perhaps the most wildly available product of this project is the wine that bears it's name: Clos de los Siete, a blend that Michel Rolland personally puts together each year from fruit provided by each of the partner wineries. I've tasted the wine for the past seven or eight vintages and have been interested in its evolution. What started out as a somewhat lush, accessible wine has become ever more serious, to the point that it now sports tannins that are built for aging, and a flavor profile that really needs a couple of years in the bottle before it will show its full potential.
While I didn't care so much for the 2007, and the 2008 was a bit more rustic, here in the 2009 vintage everything seems to have come together to represent one of the more substantial and profound wines from the New World with this kind of price tag.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Inky garnet in color, this wine smells of wet dirt, cassis, and dark dried cherries. In the mouth leathery tannins enclose earthy, cool flavors of cassis, black cherry, wet dirt, and wet wood. Wonderful acidity and a dark stony brooding quality make this quite a compelling wine. A blend of 57% Malbec, 15% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, and 3% Petite Verdot. 14.5% alcohol.
Food Pairing:
This is the kind of wine whose cork you want to pull out with your teeth, while holding a massive roast of meat skewered on a sword in your other hand. Gauchos rejoice.
Overall Score: around 9.
How Much?: $16

……The 100th episode of "Castle" on ABC dominated the 10 p.m. hour with a 7.9/13, which was just six percent below the 8.4/14 one year earlier (with stronger lead-in support from "Dancing With the Stars"). But competing "Revolution" on NBC, which trailed with a second-place 4.2/ 7, is still the drama to beat among adults 18-49 in the time period. Comparably, retention for "Castle" out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of "Dancing With the Stars" (10.1/15) was comfortable at 78 percent. But "Revolution" out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of "The Voice" (9.1/14) held only 46 percent. Regardless, you can expect a second season of "Revolution" next season…..

Identifying the Drivers of Breast Cancer
Identifying and validating new kinase targets to develop a rational therapy for invasive lobular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer
- Date: 25 Jun 2013
- Topic: Breast cancer / Translational research
The sooner breast cancer is found, the greater the chance of treatment and cure. But the situation becomes more complicated when patients are diagnosed with specific subtypes of breast cancer - invasive lobular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer - because there is no available treatment. Invasive lobular carcinoma accounts for 10 percent of breast cancer worldwide, and triple negative breast cancer for 15 percent. The EU-funded RATHER ("Rational therapy for breast cancer: individualised treatment for difficult-to-treat breast cancer subtypes") project is determined to identify and validate new kinase targets to treat both subtypes.
Backed with almost EUR 6 million in funding under the Health theme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the RATHER partners have put the subset of human proteins known as kinases under the microscope. Kinases play a key role in regulating how cells function. Past studies have suggested a link between cancer and changes to one or more of the 500 human kinases.
The consortium is investigating the kinase alternations specific to the two cancer types: invasive lobular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer, the latest is characterised by a lack of oestrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors.
The team got the ball rolling in 2011 by investigating 300 clinical samples from150 patients diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma and 150 with triple negative breast cancer. The researchers wanted to see whether the data would help them determine the key differences between normal and diseased breast tissue. The research team hope that some of these differences/alterations will be proved as drivers of disease, meaning that they are involved in causing the disease, as opposed to being random side-effects of the condition. Because driver alterations represent promising therapeutic targets, it is important to identify them.
As the changes that take place within the breast cancer subtypes can vary, the partners are also developing molecular diagnostic tests. These will allow doctors to select the best treatment option for patients.
When the team finds the promising kinase alterations and their corresponding kinase inhibitors, they will begin clinical trials to assess patient responses to the drugs. The molecular diagnostic tests will be used to determine which patients participate in the trial. This is to ensure the project involves the patients who will benefit most from the drugs.
The RATHER consortium is headed by University College Dublin, National University of Ireland, which is joined by research institutes, universities and companies from Spain, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.

USA Truck Board Chairman Robert A. Peiser 'Hopeful' He'll Be Retained
by Chris Bahn
Posted 5/16/2013 11:13 am
Updated 2 years ago
Robert A. Peiser, the USA Truck Inc. board chairman who submitted a conditional resignation Wednesday, told Arkansas Business on Thursday that he's "hopeful" he'll be retained by the publicly traded Van Buren trucking firm.
Peiser, who was named to the board in February 2012, technically received enough votes at the company's May 8 annual meeting to be re-elected. But those votes were outnumbered by a block of withheld votes that came at the urging of an advisory group unhappy with the executive.
Board members now have 60 days to decide on Peiser's status. USA Truck CFO Cliff Beckham said a decision — which will be made public via an 8K filing — was not expected to take the full two months.
"Now that Bob has tendered his resignation it's up to the board to deliberate whether or not to accept it," Beckham said. "... We have 60 days, but I don't think the board wants to drag it out that long. It will be sooner, rather than later."
Pesier said Thursday that he would not plead his case to the board. He said he would let what he viewed as progress made since November, including the hiring of new CEO John Simone, speak for itself.
"I couldn't tell you how they're going to come out," Peiser said. "I can tell you how I hope they come out, but it's totally up to them to decide what is in the best interest of the company."
According to a Wednesday SEC filing by USA Truck, a group called ISS Proxy Advisory Services "recommended that stockholders withhold votes from Mr. Peiser's election, citing as the sole reason for such recommendation that Mr. Peiser 'fail[ed] to submit the adoption of a poison pill to a shareholder vote at this year's annual meeting.'"
ISS held that such plans be put to a stockholder vote within 12 months of adoption. But it said the USA Truck board decided to submit the plan to to a stockholder vote in May 2014, "approximately 17 months after adoption." USA Truck was in regluatory compliance by delaying the vote, Beckham said.
Peiser said he was surprised that ISS took such a "strict view" of the 12-month window, considering recent changes to USA Truck leadership. In the past seven months, USA Truck has remade its board of directors, removed its CFO, added an interim COO and named a new CEO.
"It's awfully early for a stockholder to understand the full implications of the management change," Peiser said.
Peiser received 3.4 million "for" votes, but 4.9 million stockholders withheld their vote. Beckham said the board takes it "very seriously" when voters are "irritated enough to withold their votes."
USA Truck reported $2.5 million in losses for the first quarter of 2013. It's an improvement of last year's $4.9 million loss for the same period.

[adsenseyu1]What is Fellowship?
According to the dictionary, fellowship means the friendly association with others. Notice; the key word there is friendly. Some people may feel that just talking to someone is fellowshipping but if you're not talking to the person as a friend then all you're doing is talking-not fellowshipping.
How does People Fellowship?
If you look at the world today, you will see a lot of fellowshipping. If you go to those clubs on a weekend you will see a lot of young people fellowshipping? What it is that drives these young people to those clubs? Is it because of the cool music or those beers? I think the main reason why young people flock to those places is because of the wonderful opportunities to fellowship over there. I mean, think about it. You can meet new friends, hang with current friends, you can probably pick up a girlfriend, boyfriends etc. Imagine a club that may have the best music and the best alcohol but they don't allow you to speak to others. If you're caught speaking to someone they will throw you out. I'm sure you will realize that such a club won't last very long because they are taking away the fellowship from everyone.
Look at families that have lots of family gatherings with lots of alcohol, secular music etc. Some Christians may look at such families and criticize them for their way of celebrating but if we as Christians take a closer look at such families we will realize that even though they may be celebrating in the wrong way those families tend to have a lot of bonding, a lot of healthy relationships, they are united and where there is unity there is strength. I believe that such a family will be more effective than a Christian family in which no one really communicates with each other. So you can see that fellowshipping is a vital thing.
Why do people Fellowship?
As you can see there are lots of reason for fellowshipping? But why do we fellowship? Why don't we just keep to ourselves and let others keep to themselves? I thing the answer to that question can be found in the book on Genesis. When God created Adam, he gave him everything that he could possibly want. He had dominion over the animals, he had access to all the fruit trees, he had the rivers and seas to swim in but he was lacking one thing. God realized that Adam didn't have someone he could relate to. He didn't have someone he could fellowship with. Thus God created Eve. The reason why we love to fellowship is because we were created wanting someone we could relate to. Its only human nature. We all depend on each other. We are interdependent. So now when you see people flocking to the wrong places, know that they are just acting normal.
Look at how fellowshipping as changed over the years. We spend so much time fellowshipping in chat rooms, just by typing to someone who we're not sure if they are a boy, a girl, a killer etc and talk to them for hours. What about text messaging. There are some people who are always texting someone. What about the time we spend on the telephone. We spend hours talking to people on the telephone and when the phone bill comes well- we blame the telephone company for robbing us….lol
Christian Fellowship
As you can see, we all love to fellowship. God intended it to be so. But what does fellowship as to do with us as Christians. I believe that we should fellowship for 2 reasons.
1. To grow in our walk with God
2. To grow in our relationship with others
We grow in our relationship with God by going to church on a Sunday, by going to youth groups, to prayer meetings etc. when we go to such meeting we meet people just like us, who are going through the same thing as us, who are trying to live the same life we are trying to live and when we come together as a body our souls are strengthened because of this knowledge that we are not alone in our quest for reaching the promised land. We know that we aren't the only ones who are traveling the road less traveled. People who call themselves Christians and aren't in any local church usually don't have much strength to continue pressing on for the prize and when trouble comes their way it is easier for them to backslide than someone who is already involved in a church and has the support of its members.
How do we grow in our relationship with others? I believe that there are times when as young people we need to come together outside of church related stuff e.g. going on a field trip, having a cook, playing some games etc. When we do these kind of things we get to understand each other more, and when we understand each other more we can relate to each other more and when we can relate to each other more we can serve each other more. There is too much backbiting and gossiping among us Christians today that I believe it is hurting the church on the whole. If there is a certain youth who you do not like I would like to encourage you to start fellowshipping with that person and maybe you will begin to see that you had the wrong opinion of that person. Maybe there was a total misunderstanding between you and that person and you can resolve that and start a whole new relationship. There is nothing to gain by having an enemy but there are tremendous benefits in having a friend. Why not turn that enemy into your friend?
Those are the 2 reasons I believe we, as Christians ought to fellowship. The church today basically focuses on the 1st reason I gave you all but I believe that both are just as important as each other. If young people only see the pastor as the pastor and does not seem him as a friend who they can relate to then I think that defeats the whole purpose of the pastor, which is why I believe the second type of fellowshipping is just as important as the first. We need to stress on both. I believe that if we as young people start focusing on those 2 reasons for fellowshipping and start putting it into practice, we will achieve a lot of tremendous results in our lives. As someone once said- 'my popularity, my happiness and sense of well being depend to small extent on my ability to deal with people.'

Witnesses describe a run in with huge kangaroo-like, bipedal monster in the deserts of northern Chile. The sightings have occurred by people who were traveling by car on different days through the remote road that links the cities of Iquique and Arica through the Atacama desert, some 2,000 kilometers north of Santiago, Chile. The newspapers in those cities collected recent accounts from citizens who claim to have seen the rare creatures. In addition, a military officer named Hernan Cuevas says that he spotted two of the beasts while traveling with two other adults and two children in a vehicle. He was quoted as seeing, "a huge beast, much like a two-legged dinosaur, with huge thighs."
Josh and the team decide to try a touristy Vampire haunted house before the investigation and realize sometimes that's scarier than the real thing.
Josh talks about why sometimes slowing down during your travels is the best course of action.
Josh gives you a sneak peek as to what to expect from the Hanging Coffins investigation.

South Korea has rejected a Japanese proposal to hold bilateral talks on the status of a disputed group of islets in the Sea of Japan, roughly halfway between the two countries.
Japanese officials had suggested talks could be held on the sidelines of a regional security meeting scheduled for next week.
The offer followed escalating tensions over the island's following the recent publication of Japanese teaching manuals reiterating Japan's claim to the disputed territory.
On Thursday protesters in Seoul staged a bloody demonstration outside the Japanese embassy, slaughtering live pheasants – Japan's national bird – on the street.
Seoul's rejection of the proposed talks was confirmed by Nobutaka Machimura, the Japanese chief cabinet secretary, who said it was unlikely that the Japanese and South Korean foreign ministers would meet for talks.
"I think it is important for responsible people in charge of diplomacy to have candid discussions especially at a time like this," he said.
Japan had offered to hold a bilateral meeting at the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) regional forum in Singapore.
Envoy recalled
Seoul and Tokyo have long been at odds about who has sovereignty over the rocky outcrops, known as Dokdo to South Koreans and Takeshima in Japan.
On Thursday South Korean demonstrators clashed with police as they tried to push their way into the Japanese embassy.
Angry protesters battered, disembowelled and beheaded live pheasants, while dozens of war veterans in military fatigues shouted "Dokdo is our territory!" as they ate the birds' internal organs and dripped blood on Japanese flags and on pictures of present and former Japanese leaders.
There were also banners that read "Stop violating our territorial sovereignty!" and "Japan must stop distortion of history".
In April, Japan and South Korea held their first full-fledged bilateral summit in three years.
Ties were suspended after repeated visits by earlier Japanese leaders to a Tokyo shrine honouring the country's war dead including convicted war criminals.
'Corrective measures'
Kwon Chul-hyun, South Korea's ambassador in Tokyo, has called on Japan to "take corrective measures" to normalise what he called "the collapsed diplomatic relations" between the two countries.
"It's not long ago that we shook hands with each other to make a fresh start," he said.
"The most desirable measure is to delete the description from the teaching guidelines."
South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted Kwon as saying that the issue may also affect cooperation with Japan in six nation talks on disarming North Korea.
"If public opinion worsens at home or political circles strongly oppose such cooperation, we have no other choice but to take it into consideration," he was quoted as saying.
Last weekend, the two Koreas, China, Japan, the United States and Russia agreed to work towards the disablement of North Korea's nuclear plants by October.

Lafond's 2012 Chardonnay is 62% Lafond, 18% Hilltop Ranch, and 20% Melville vineyard fruit. It was barrel-fermented and aged in 16% new oak barrels and puncheons. Quoting Lafond: "The Santa Rita Hills is a small appellation at the western end of the Santa Ynez Valley that has gained national recognition for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Valley runs west to east, opening a gap in the coastal range, allowing the late afternoon ocean fog to roll in where it lingers until early morning. The surrounding hills trap the fog before it is dissipated in the wider Santa Ynez Valley. The fog cools the vines from the day's summer heat and it is this combination of warm days and cool nights that gives the wine its complexity as well as providing acidity to give it structure. Winemaker's comments: Our new blocks of Chardonnay are now in production. We now have four additional clones along with our original Wente clone, which was first planted over 25 years ago. The new clones in, addition to adding to the complexity of the wine, introduce subtle flavors which add to its enjoyment and underline the remarkable qualities of the Santa Rita Hills 'terroir'."
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.
