As the U.S. Navy modernizes information systems across the fleet, one organization is responsible for researching, developing and fielding the full range of technologies in the Asia-Pacific region, providing complete life cycle development and support for systems, from concept to fielded capability.
Spry Methods Incorporated, Arlington, Virginia (N65236-14-D-4158); Gateway Ventures Incorporated, Norfolk, Virginia (N65236-14-D-4159); Gemini Industries Incorporated, Burlington, Massachusetts (N65236-14-D-4160); and MH Harbor LLC, North Charleston, South Carolina (N65236-14-D-4161), are each being awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price, with provisions for cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders, performance-based multiple award contract for the procurement of Information Dominance Program and financial management support services. The cumulative, estimated value (ceiling) of the base year combined is $33,326,967. The contracts include options, which if exercised, would bring the cumulative value (ceiling) of these contracts to an estimated $99,980,901. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic, Charleston, South Carolina, is the contracting activity.
The realm of cyberspace, created by the United States, could be the undoing of its next major military operation unless the country regains control of its own creation. The virtual realm was let loose on the world where it was embraced by all manner of users, and some of them are counting on their expertise in it to overcome the overwhelming power of the U.S. military.
As conflicts become more complex and uncertain in the 21st century, quick pivots to new technologies will become increasingly important. The starting point for this rapid fielding must begin with more frequent, and more relational, lower level warfighter-technologist interaction.
The current system does this nominally, but the relationships usually are far removed from the waterfront or the front lines where many user-generated solutions could be discovered. Science advisers, often from places such as the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory or the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), are stationed regularly at critical commands throughout the services. They provide a useful link between incredibly intelligent technologists and seasoned veterans.
Unfortunately, many of the interactions are only with senior officers and not the muddy boot or deckplate warriors who know best what is giving them day-to-day headaches. Additionally, many of the officers dedicated to acquisition programs are years removed from being actual operators. With the accelerating pace of technological change, even a year away from operational status can leave noticeable knowledge gaps.
Experience certainly is valuable, but after spending a long period of time in the same profession, a person's creativity sometimes is lost. Even known innovators can get stuck in ruts when not exposed to different views of the world over sustained periods of time. Furthermore, as technology evolves, the quickest adopters usually are the younger generations. They often have better insights into how to integrate emerging, generationally ubiquitous trends to their professions than do their seniors who relied on legacy systems.
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, on behalf of the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Program Office, has awarded a $34 million dollar firm fixed price contract to ViaSat Inc., Carlsbad, Calif., for the design, development, and production of a cryptographic module for the MIDS Low Volume Terminal (MIDS-LVT) Block Upgrade 2.

Pool noodle is dead.
I saw it coming, we all saw it coming. Inner diameters/cores began getting thin, outside diameters began to shrink. The foam went from a robust 1 lbs. foam to something that you could fill a couch with.
To top it, the foam got flimsy and the Amtgard V8 rules got stringent. Companies like Warlord Sports stepped up and started supplying quality sticks and foam to the masses, making everything from speed sticks to heavier foamed weapons for the more physically active games.
But, what do you do if you want to just build yourself one of these sword instead of buy it from someone else?
When I first started playing Amtgard, I used a loaner weapon for the first two weeks I played. It wasn't great, but loaner weapons aren't supposed to be, they are made to get you hooked. From that moment on, I built my own weapons. I bought a supply of good noodle, went online to figure out the better ways of building them, and set out testing different designs.
After several years of play, I ran out of the old noodle and tried to build with the lesser brands that have been out. Using my old build methods, I went out to the park to play and proceeded to blow out my stick on the first swing.
This wasn't going to work.
One of the players at another park was marketing a sword based on similar designs that Warlord was putting out. Heavy foam made up the entire weapon. Taking it apart, I found that it was a single piece of foam, folded over the tip and down the other side. It was then contact cemented in place and taped. This sword lasted me about 4 months before I started to notice a problem. Taking it apart again, I found that the fold on the stabbing tip began to tear away at the tape line and the contact cement also began to degrade. I cut off the bad section of the foam and replaced it with cut pieces of what good foam I had left, fixed the contact cement and spiral wrapped it.
It worked, but I have to watch the tip for wear more than I like. Seeing my other weapons not made out of the same stuff starting to fizzle, I began looking for alternatives. Being told in every forum and group that I should buy the Duratube or Aethertube for my weapons, I began searching only to find out that these were brand names from Warlord.
I have nothing against Warlord, I plunked down the money for a Duratube tough stick and have enjoyed using it the last few times I played, but I am a crafter and I like making my own stuff and I really don't like buying premade. Yes, you can buy just the tube from Warlord, but I want variety in what I purchase instead of building what they already have for sale.
So, I began my search today for a foam supplier, local to saint Louis so that I can pick it up in a truck instead of paying shipping and amiable to working with a small buyer. I sent an email to a company with the spec's of what I was looking for and they wanted to quote me for a price with a minimum 25,000 piece purchase.
We haven't spoken again.
As my quest continues, I will update this blog with more info.

Josh Marrone
Received a Bachelor of Arts in History from the UMKC College of Arts and Science
"The first year of law school," reads the back cover of Scott Turow's "One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School," "is an intellectual and emotional ordeal so grueling that it ensures only the fittest survive."
"I remember my first year of law school – it's pretty rough," said Josh Marrone, now a 3L student at the UMKC School of Law. "Law school is just inherently stressful and competitive, because everything is graded on a curve. But the atmosphere at UMKC is very supportive."
As an antidote to the stresses of law school, student mentors encouraged him and walked him through demanding coursework.
Encouraged by that support, Josh mentors new students as a legal writing teaching assistant. He helps students adjust to the rigors of legal studies and the curved grading scale.
Another factor that has helped Josh through his law school experience is the Jack and Helen Miller Law Scholarship. Thanks to the scholarship, Josh and his wife felt financially prepared to have a baby.
"It has provided me with the funds for my tuition so that I was able to divert other funds to things like diapers and clothes for our son," Josh said. "I get to see my family, get to see my new son and still am able to be successful at UMKC."
In addition to serving as a teaching assistant, Josh serves as managing editor of "The Urban Lawyer: The National Quarterly on State and Local Government Law" – a national legal publication housed at UMKC; a staff member at the "UMKC Law Review"; a member of the Public Interest Law Association; and a research assistant.

Murder by Death – Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon
In Darkness, Light
For a band with a name like Murder by Death, an album name like Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon might create expectations of angry, raging guitars and harshly pounding drums. But Murder by Death is a band that trades in symbolism, in narratives and concepts, in a confluence of genres that's endearingly original. Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon is the Indiana quintet's sixth studio album, following 2010's Good Morning, Magpie. Unlike some of the band's previous records, this is not a concept album – but it's still laden with persistent themes of mortality, environmental change, and nostalgia as it blends punk rock sensibilities with alt-country flavor.
Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon begins with a metaphorical bitter pill on "My Hill," where vocalist and guitarist Adam Turla sings about the destruction of the landscape due to urban development. While it starts out with low vocals and simple guitar that sounds almost like a haunting electric banjo, the song picks up energy, the guitars getting louder and louder as Turla chants about how the "rich folks choke on billow and smoke." Several tracks on the album extrapolate on this theme of cynicism and destruction, like the jig "The Curse of Elkhart" where "the lakes are boiling, the rivers swell," or "No Oath, No Spell," where Turla sings "There's no hell but the one we made," his musings on mortality accompanied by rich blends of piano and cello melodies. The slow, jazzy lament "Oh, To Be an Animal" is a dirge for this "loneliest of times." But even on "No Oath, No Spell," there is a feeling of resiliency and hope.
This is clearest on the joyous "Lost River." Although it emerges from a series of eerie effects played over light, tinkling keys, the keys pick up speed and come charging in, supported by shaking maracas and warm guitar and cello melodies that create a comforting, folksy sound. Turla brings us into another narrative, about nostalgia for an idyllic spot (and perhaps a lost love), where "the croak of frogs will lead you true." "Lost River," the single "I Came Around," and the album's final track "Ghost Fields" comprise a coterie of bright, folksy tunes that exude a sense of happiness even as they expound on mortality and judgement. "Ghost Fields" features a warm, homey cello and accordion that waltz with rich guitar arpeggios as Turla spins a pastoral about "This girl, this boy / they were part of the land / what happens to the places we used to tend?" The band repeatedly evokes the loss of place, the loss of natural space and life throughout Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon, even at its most jovial moments. The fields Turla sings about in the last track are "ghost" fields, after all; pale shadows of what they used to be, the remnants of another time, before urban sprawl and development.
Murder by Death clearly has a knack for creating conceptually rich, lyrically dense albums, toying with a variety of styles. Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon feels most at home on the folksy, alt-country tracks, but the band veers to and fro, never committing to any one genre, dipping into formulaic pop-punk and beautiful, orchestral instrumentals, just as it shifts from cynicism to hope and back, inhabiting a space that's somewhere in between, fluid and always in transition.Search for Murder By Death albums on Amazon

Welcome to…
Who is Lawanda Lee Anderson?
I am the daughter of Larry and Wanda Lee and grew up a major tomboy with my three brothers. Although I was born in Norwood, NC (outside of Charlotte), I lived most of my life in Selma, NC. I graduated with honors from Smithfield-Selma High school and later received my B.A. in Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. On May 16, 2009, I received my Master's degree in Agency Counseling at NC Central University and was hired through Vocational Rehabilitation to assist individuals who have disabilities with finding employment opportunties. In 2010, I started a new chapter in my life when I married the love of my life, Mike Anderson and in 2011, we had our first child (Malachi Elijah Anderson).
How long have you been writing?
Tell us about your interests.
In my spare time I used to enjoy doing the following: Writing and performing poetry, singing, dancing, playing multiple sports, witnessing to the residents inside of the prison and challenging youth to walk in excellence through presentations on sexual abstinence, college preparation and leadership skills. Now that I am married, I still do a few of the things mentioned, but my time is more focused on family. I do enjoy going to the movies, travelling and spending time with my girlfriends
exactly is "The Aspiring Writers Info Session?"
With your poetry, how does
God fit into your writing?
I suddenly noticed that writing poems became a way that God could communicate and minister to me and others. Also, I was able to express my emotions, while addressing issues that were affecting other people. So, ultimately, I see the poems as a witnessing tool, which is my reason for distributing so many copies to people that I meet outside of church.
What is your most proud moment?
Who is your role model?

Hey Folks,
Fall is flying by, and yes there is snow on the summits of Lincoln Peak and Stark Mtn. this morning! Yikes, my skis are way dusty, and the firewood is not yet put up! What's a brewer to do? Brew more beer of course!
What a huge success! Thanks to Megan Schultz Events and Designs, and Mike W., F&B wizard at MRG for pulling off what some have already dubbed as the "best beer festival in Vermont!" And to think that it was only our first time around. Big thanks also to everyone who participated, as when the dollars are all counted, we will have likely raised nearly $1,000 for the Mad River Path Association. It was great to have the likes of the Alchemist, Bobcat, Trout River, Rock Art, Otter Creek (with a cask!), Zero Gravity, Long Trail, Magic Hat, Switchback and yours truly pouring up some fine brews outside on the deck of the lodge on what was the best weather day of the entire fall. Beautiful! I promise next year, I'll get the word out on the blog BEFORE the event. As it turns out, we didn't need it. The event sold out in only about 2 hours at the door thanks to the huge interest in great beer and a spectacular fall foliage day paired with scenic rides on our 'Old Faithful' at MRG - the single chair. Likely close to a thousand people cycled thru the place over the course of the day.
The single-batch edition of my Stony Hill 'Local Hop' Harvest Ale is just about gone. Get yourself over to American Flatbread in Waitsfield tonight 10/2 if you want a pint of what's left. Brewed with hops grown right at the brewery. My first batch of fall wheat beer - a German-style Dunkelweiss is ready and bottles will be headed to the Warren Store this weekend. You'll also find it on tap in General Starks Pub at Mad River Glen. At the Common Man, you can sample one of my latest hoppy creations - the Permagrin Rye Pale Ale. Rings in at 6.0% abv and has enough lupulin to chew on! The Pitcher Inn's cooler is down, so they do not have any beer on tap right now. Down at the Village Porch, you can sample the fall's first batch of my Hoptoberfest 292 Ale. Lots more of the 292, Dunkelweiss, and Permagrin are on the way along with BIG HAPI set to make a fall debut in another week or so. Looking ahead, I just brewed my second batch of Fayston Maple Imperial Stout for the cold months ahead. Mmmmm. The first batch has been in kegs for a month now and is aging beautifully! I'm going to try and get some bottles of it out there at the next Farmers Market...read on.
Exciting news to share with you....Another collaboration is in the works with the great peeps at Zero Gravity/Flatbread Burlington Hearth, Paul Sayler and Destiny Saxon. We are likely to brew a batch next week for our November gig - Lawson's Night at Flatbread on Nov. 10. Mark your calendars! We'll have 6-8 different Lawson's brews on tap, and some special bottles 'from the vault'. We'll be brewing up a 10bbl batch of Papelblonde Ale to be served at the event and well beyond.
An just a couple weeks away is the debut of Lawson's Finest at The Three Penny Taproom, a now renowned little beer bar in Montpelier, VT. We'll be tapping up a keg of double dry-hopped Hopzilla Double IPA that I created just for this event! Thursday, October 15 is the date, and the keg is not likely to last beyond the night, so boogie on over if you can make it.
On October 24, Lawson's will be participating in special one-day event called "Celebrate Vermont Beer" at the Two Brothers Tavern in Middlebury, VT. Come sample 25+ different Vermont beers and celebrate yourself.
Finally, on October 17, we'll be at the last official Waitsfield Farmer's Market for season, offering sample tastings and bottles for sale from 9 am to 1 pm.
Cheers! - Sean

International Society for the Study of Reformed Communities
2006 ISSRC Conference
"Reformed Communities
Three different trends are shaping and affecting the ways in which Reformed communities minister within their different social contexts as well as interrelate with each other: namely, the shifting demographics of Christianity and Reformed communities from the First World to the Third World; increasing globalization; and, at least in some contexts, increasing cultural pluralism within the social setting. Each trend offers different opportunities and challenges for the health and vitality of Reformed Christian communities.
The 2006 Conference of the ISSRC welcomed paper proposals that addressed either: one (or more) of such trends and the opportunities and challenges it (they) hold for Reformed communities; or, studies that addressed how particular Reformed congregations or communities may have sought to respond to any one of these trends confronting their community. Proposed papers were not required to adopt a particular approach or methodology nor reflect a particular field of study. Papers were allowed to be historical or more contemporary analyses of Reformed communities; primarily analytical and abstract in nature, or more empirical studies of particular communities; "theoretical" in nature, or more "practical" in terms of emphasis.

I have such a soft spot for this movie. As a child, I watched this movie, along with "Halloweentown" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" every Halloween (and pretty much all the time year round). It's so funny to watch them now, because I remember the smallest lines and details, and I get a lot of the jokes that I never used to understand as a kid. Don't get me wrong, I love scary movies too, but there's something so nice about watching this childhood favorite every year.
Click through the gallery for more awesome screencaps/GIFs! I was so upset that I couldn't find a GIF of the scene where they see the fire truck and they scream and run away, but it's not like the entire movie isn't etched into my memory anyway.
Did you watch this movie back in the '90's? What are your Halloween film staples? Image source, image source

New Models for Optimizing Mission Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
04/16/10 Engineers at Boston University are working on a theoretical approach to improve automated mission control and decision-making for fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Automating these functions would let UAVs adapt their actions more rapidly in response to unforeseen events and ultimately require less human supervision. With funding from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, engineers at Boston University are working on a theoretical approach to improve automated mission control and decision-making for fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles. While unmanned systems currently rely on the automation of low-level functions, such as navigation, stabilization and trajectory, operating these systems is…

India: Technology, Economy & Society: Academic Features
While the highlight of the course is the field trip to India, there will also be a mandatory pre-departure orientation and online coursework that will begin midway through the Fall semester to introduce students to India and to prepare them to understand issues related to doing business in emerging markets like India. Prior to departure, there will be up to 1 hour of online coursework per week, and during the winter week, this increases to 2-3 hours of coursework per week. This pre-program component will consist of lecture notes, movie videos, and book readings.
Program in India
The faculty-led program to India is part of a 4-credit course which is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in learning about the culture, society, and commerce in India. Undergraduate students can earn credit for either AAAS 397 (Harpur) or IBUS 480 (SOM). Graduate students can earn credit for IBUS 580. This program is open to students in all academic disciplines. In the past students from SOM, Watson, and Harpur, have participated and found it to be a fruitful experience. Students will be exposed to many different aspects of India, using an eclectic mix of lectures, writ-ten material, movies, meetings and interviews, and books. The course will help students learn historical and contemporary trends in India, develop an international perspective, understand the opportunities afforded by emerging economies like India, and become familiar with a geo-politically very important, culturally-diverse country. A major aspect of the course is that students will get to interact with Indian students, scholars, and leaders in diverse fields. The integrated course-work and travel component will give students a theoretical and experiential understanding of an Eastern country that is different from the United States in many ways, yet also similar in other ways.
The India-tour component will will last for 12-14 days and consist of lectures, business
and cultural site visits, meetings with local executives, and formal and informal
time with local students. Students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves
in the Indian culture to better understand the social, political, business, and economic
environment. Visits relevant for engineering and other majors are also arranged on
this program in accordance with student interest.
The course will be taught and directed by Professor Vishal Gupta. He has already led five successful India study programs for BU students in previous years. His area of expertise is corporate strategy and entrepreneurship; and his other area of interest is the study of cross-national issues related to history and culture. He has conducted several workshops and lectures for students at several Indian schools and universities, and is well-known for his motivational lectures and management talks for small business. Professor Surinder Kahai from the School of Management and Amanda Bailor, International Alumni and Career Connections Coordinator from the Watson School will both co-leading the program while in India.

The town called Imerintsiatosika, located some 12 miles west from the capital city, enjoys a quickly growing popularity, mostly because of the newly erected karting circuit nearby.
Fresh air away from urban pollution is a standard gift from remote towns like Imerintsiatosika. On both sides of the town's main street as well as further away scattered across a landscape of dozens of hills recovered with bush, do stand spots of traditional red clay walled homes roofed over with hay, just the way they used to stand several generations ago. This section of National Road 1 has however turned into a melting pot of antiquity and modernity, for several ranchers have chosen a more modern architecture ever since, and because of the highlight of modernity erected nearby, namely a karting circuit. Over the latest years, this entertainment facility and its racing tournaments have on their own been bringing Imerintsiatosika more and more often to people's lips. The flow of drivers and passionate spectators definitely introduced the vanguard of modernity in the midst of a piece of good old outback

Why Doesn't the Library Have This e-Book?
July 29, 2014 by Webmaster
While Lincoln City Libraries tries to maintain a varied collection of books in a variety of formats, not all titles have been published as e-Books, and some publishers so far do not allow libraries to provide access to their e-Books. At the present time, these major publishers either do not allow access to libraries, or do so on a very restricted basis:
Simon & Schuster (includes Free Press, Scribners, Pocket Books, and Atria; Simon & Schuster now makes some e-Books available to libraries, but with significant restrictions)
MacMillan (includes Bloomsbury USA, Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, Henry Holt, Rodale, Picador, St. Martins, Tom Doherty, Forge, and Tor; MacMillan is now making a limited selection of e-Books available to libraries)
Penguin (includes G.P. Putnam & Sons, Grosset & Dunlap, New American Library, Prentice Hall, and Viking Press; Penguin is now making a selection of e-Books available to libraries on a time-limited basis)

Changes in Watch/Warning Areas for Hurricane Earl
September 3, 2010
Concerns for high surf and rip currents continue
The National Hurricane Center and local National Weather Service Forecase Offices have changed the areas of Maine covered by Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings for areas of Maine. The track of Hurricane Earl and changes in intensity have resulted in watches being lifted in some areas.
Tropical Storm Warnings:
Boat owners and captains of small craft should rush to completion the securing of their crafts.
Tropical Storm Watches remain in place for:
Everyone in Watch and Warning areas should monitor weather forecasts closely, as conditions may change as the storm approaches and passes by.
Possibility of Inland Flooding
In the Gray Forecast area (York through Waldo), 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected, with pockets of 3 inches. No flooding problems are expected.
In Washington and Hancock Counties, 1 to 3 inches of rain are expected, with locally higher amounts. Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas, and if bands of heavy rain develop, more serious flooding possible.
High surf and rip currents remain a serious threat to safety along the coast.
Everyone should respect access restrictions at shoreline and beach locations.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm force winds (39 to 73 mph) are expected in the Warning areas within 24 hours.
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm force winds (39 to 73 mph) are possible along the coast within 36 hours.
Heavy rains may also accompany tropical systems; localized flooding is often a possibility.
The National Weather Service Forecast offices in Gray and Caribou will be issuing additional forecasts as Hurricane Earl approaches. You can monitor this important information, as well as learn about preparedness and safety precautions, at:
Although the storm has weakened somewhat, it still poses serious dangers for many parts of Maine. Maine Emergency Management Agency recommends:
Most important, again, is to stay informed. Stay tuned to news broadcasts, or listen to your NOAA Weather Radio to be sure of current forecasts, and how the storm will affect your area.
For more preparedness and safety information, the latest weather forecasts, and links to the latest advisories and tracks for Hurricane Earl, visit MainePrepares.com.

Local vineyard wins prestigious state award
Ever since Ken Craven decided to spend his retirement years operating a vineyard, there have been plenty of days he wondered whether he'd made the right decision.
Feb. 1 was not one of those days.
That's the day the N.C. Winegrowers Association awarded its annual Wine Grower of Excellence Award to Craven's small vineyard in the Wallburg community, which he calls Chart's Hill Vineyard.
"It means that evidently I have done something right since I got started," Craven says. "Childress (Vineyards) has won it, and Morgan Ridge (Vineyards). It puts me in the same category with a group of fairly prestigious vineyards and wineries in the state, so I'm honored and humbled by this award."
Chart's Hill was selected from more than 400 independent vineyards across the state, according to Mark Friszolowski, treasurer and past president of the N.C. Winegrowers Association, who is also the winemaker at Childress Vineyards.
"This award is given to somebody who really just shows excellence in their ability to grow wine grapes in North Carolina," Friszolowski says.
"Ken attends all the seminars and has been very active in the industry. He's come from being just a novice grower with very little experience to now having some of the most sought-after grapes in the state. Ten years ago, when there were only 30 to 40 vineyards, that wouldn't be as big a deal, but now with over 400 growers, that's pretty darned good."
Winning a prestigious award certainly wasn't what Craven had in mind in 2006, when he first planted Merlot grapes on his five-acre plot of land on Friendship Ledford Road.
"I was just looking for something to do after retirement," recalls Craven, 65, who worked in the airline industry.
"My youngest daughter's husband proposed to her at a winery and vineyard, and I started thinking that might be a good thing for me to get involved in. With the lay of my land — it's very hilly — I wouldn't have to till the land. So I took a couple of courses in viticulture at Surry Community College, and here I am."
Craven says he made the transition fairly smoothly, "but it's a lot more work than I had anticipated," he says. "I actually started harvesting before I officially retired, and I found out real quick I had taken on too much."
Craven and his wife, Marty, live on the property where the vineyards are located.
"We both grew up in the Wallburg area on tobacco farms," Craven says. "We love the outdoors and we wanted to keep our hands in the ground in some form or fashion, and this seemed like a good idea. We love it — I was out there this morning for two or three hours."
What would the owner of a vineyard be doing out there now, in the dead of winter?
Pruning — lots and lots of pruning.
"You have to handle every single vine individually — that's close to probably 2,500 or 3,000 grapevines, cutting every one of them back," Craven says. "And that's not just a single vine — it's all the different shoots coming out of it, too. It's very labor-intensive."
Thankfully, Craven has a friend and fellow retiree, Frank Cathey, who gives him a lot of help.
"If it weren't for Frank," Craven says, "I don't know whether I'd be able to make it or not."
The vineyard takes its name from the hilly land, which is known locally as Chart's Hill.
"Chart was a descendant of a slave of the Yokeley family of the late 1700s, and he lived on this hillside," Craven explains. "Everybody in this area knows this hill as Chart's Hill."
While Chart's Hill remains a small vineyard, Craven has expanded a little bit from those first Merlot grapes he planted more than seven years ago. In 2010, he added four more varieties — Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Golden Muscat and Muscadine.
Chart's Hill does not include a winery; instead, Craven has carved a niche by selling his grapes to other North Carolina wineries, such as Childress Vineyards, Westbend Vineyards, Weathervane Winery and SilkHope Winery.
The vineyard harvested about four tons of grapes last year, but it was a bit of a down year for Chart's Hill. Seven to eight tons annually is more typical, according to Craven.
The Wine Grower of Excellence Award is awarded to an association member that's been in existence for at least five years, produces consistently high-quality wine grapes, and shows an ongoing commitment to the betterment of the North Carolina wine and grape industry.
The award, which is voted on by viticulture experts at N.C. State University, was presented during the annual conference of the N.C. Winegrowers Association, held earlier this month in Winston-Salem. Judges look at such criteria as canopy management, quality of fruit and overall condition.
"What's unusual is that you've got a group of professional growers in the state ... and then there's Ken with his little vineyard, and he gets this award," Friszolowski says. "It just shows what you can do if you persevere and if you have a green thumb."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- Kerry Hammonds' baseline jump shot with 40 seconds remaining and late foul shots, and Middle Tennessee State handed Mississippi its first loss of the season with a 65-62 win on Saturday.

Ole Miss, which had the nation's best turnover margin, committed a season-high 18 turnovers against MTSU's swarming defense. And the Rebels, ranked second nationally in scoring (87-point average), never found an offensive rhythm.
Raymond Cintron had 10 points on 3-of-4 3-pointers for MTSU.
Ole Miss sharp-shooter Marshall Henderson was held to only two points in the first half, as MTSU went ahead 33-29 at intermission. Henderson finished with a game-high 17 points to for the Rebels (6-1), who played their first road game of the season.

Dream Dictionary ScorpionsOne of the most common dream interpretations of the scorpion is that of intense danger. In reality many scorpions are not actually harmful. Some have little poison in their stingers. These little guys usually use their poison for neutralizing small bugs and as a weapon to larger ones for stabbing and subduing them. The amount of poison in their stingers would surely not be enough to kill a person. In reality, though dangerous scorpions can be found all over, it is likely that as long as you dont get too close to the scorpion put at the zoo, you wont have to worry about them in your lifetime. But despite this, the meaning of dream about scorpions will usually always relate to danger. You might wonder why this is. The reality of this predicament is that the reason that the dream dictionary always tells you that dreams about scorpions carry negative connotations is because of the ways that we are conditioned to treat them.
Culture tells us that scorpions are dangerous, as well as instincts brought out from years of human development that are innately activated whenever we come across a scorpion. It is these warning signs that let us know when it is safe to deal with a scorpion or not. But it is also because of these instincts that we feel so intimidated by the scorpion as a dream symbol. When you see a scorpion in your dreams, this is a sign of fear, particularly fear for the new future, and the prediction of danger. Are you about to take part in an activity that you believe to be life threatening? Perhaps you are being pressured into doing something that has the potential to seriously hurt you. This could be why you are dreaming of scorpions.
Scorpions are also known to have a dream meaning related to self-destruction. Perhaps actions that you have been taking recently have put you in a situation in which you may be doing great damage to yourself. You could be drinking too much, or smoking too much, as these are the most common ways to be self destructive. But I could also be something different such as driving recklessly, or anything else that puts you at risk. The scorpion is there in your dreams to urge you to take better care of yourself.
A scorpion can also serve as a more subtle sign in some dream meanings especially if you are the type of person that thinks in astrological terms. Symbols such as this are often associated with their astrological counterparts in more traditional/mystic dream interpretation; therefore a scorpion can stand for someone that is born under the Scorpio sign. Have you done something with a Scorpio recently, or met someone that was a Scorpio? Possibly this isnt related to anything youve actually done recently and you just happen to have been thinking about a Scorpio for some time. A dream with scorpions can be indicative of that.

In my dream I was wearing a jacket and scorpions were all over my back. They would move and I would then grab them with my hands getting pinched and stung. I would break the pinchers and stingers off of them but the pain in my hands felt so real. My brother and best friend was there. What does this mean?

In my dream I saw a scorpion walking along until it got close to an ant hill. The ants then started swarming the scorpion, attacking it. The scorpion rolled itself up into a ball, as the ants so outnumbered it that it couldn't fend them off, so I bent down and quickly threw the scorpion a small distance to get it away in the process. I knew it didn't have time to sting me.

I saw a scorpion it was the same size as any other it was walking on top of little rocks then it all changed. If you have ever seen a heat sensored camera that is the color I was seeing on the scorpion. Except now the scorpion was huge with one tail I can feel how heavy it was it got on my back I rembered if it stings you you can die. I walked slowly I was hunched back I heared my cusions they were just talking I walked to them and they freaked. They said she has a scorpion I manage to take my shirt off and the scorpion fell off the stinger waz long it was touching my butt. I was hearing a noice and I see the same scorpion but now theres another one this was has two tails. There making noices and start chasing us I'm the last one to get in the house but the door nob falls off there right at my feet. I run around again and they follow me I manage to get in the house and all I can hear is the noice on the outside.
After reading this article I guess I'm in danger or a warning. I'm under the sighn of the scorpio but I haven't done or met anyone els that's a scorpio. I don't smoke or drink I think it's wrong so I don't do it . I don't have a driver linces so I'm not a wreck less driver. If you have any idea what the dream is trying to say please reply.

I dreamt last night that I befriended a rare green and white striped spider. Everyone was very interested in it and came to meet it, but when my grandmother came, the spider turned around and revealed a scorpions tail which it used to sting me before leaping off the table onto the floor. I loved the spider too much to hurt it for what it had done, and told everyone that hopefully I would be okay. A little bit later I felt tired and cold, and got very sick and could feel that I could slowly dying. I knew that there was an antivenin that I needed, that was sold in one very specific shop somewhere in the world, but I didn't know where it was and I was dying too quickly to get there... Eventually I passed out on the dream and woke up... Any idea what this could mean? I woke up feeling nauseous and shaky and shivering with cold.

I had a dream that a rather large scorpion was crawling on my living room wall and leaving marks on the wall. It dropped down to the floor and I was hoping it would turn the other way but came straight at me and for some reason I could hardly move. I reached for a shoe to smack it and missed. The scorpion stung me and I could feel the intense pain in my dream except it was my left foot not my hand. My left foot got all red and the mark went up my leg then the dream ended.

I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with random noname friends and I noticed something stinging my hand... a scorpion... from there I noticed scorpions everywhere... all over the floor, I tip toed my way out of the apartment and grabbed some bug spray and started fighting back. After being driven outside by so many scorpions I saw a huge burrow in the grass and looked inside and saw a giant dog sized scorpion with red eyes gleaming at me. I hosed whatever it was down with as much bug spray as I felt would kill it and it did... there was only a little more to this dream but... wow trying to interpret this one has proven tricky... that's for the ominous warning of danger that I must retaliate against.. I only check this page to try and get a better understanding of something I see in a dream that normally isn't there... if you want to contact me I'm on facebook or email firstname.lastname@example.com otherwise I may not check this site again until another strange occurance happens in my dreams.

Almond Cream Recipes
Cherry Almond Tart Recipe
I mentioned recently that my husband Lulu surprised me with a celebratory trip to the Napa Valley. We felt it was well deserved after completing the manuscript of my first cookbook (available for pre-order). We stayed at the Vintage Inn. We've been there before and we've never been disappointed. The hotel is located in the heart of Yountville, within 3 blocks of what seems like the highest concentration of Michelin Star Restaurants in the world. The service was exquisite as usual with complimentary champagne breakfast buffet daily and a lovely afternoon tea service to boot. It's by far the best hotel breakfast I've ever had, ranging from petite pastries, freshly-made omelets, goat cheese walnut puffs and chocolate tartlets. What truly caught my attention was the delicious almond tart with seasonal fruit. I couldn't resist making the same dessert today to remind us of our trip, and as a huge thank you to Lulu for such a fabulous, memorable vacation. Of course, the restaurants were out of this world and the scenery was beautiful; but the highlight of the trip was relaxing with my husband and baby at this lovely hotel. If you visit Yountville, without a doubt, stay at the Vintage Inn!
The tart is made with a dense, almond filling and a large quantity of fresh cherries and blueberries. I made the crust with powdered sugar, toasted rice flour and regular all-purpose flour. The result is a wonderful fruit tart oozing with sweet fruits and a crunchy crust.

Blueberry Almond Tart Recipe
I love blueberries. I usually serve them fresh with yogurt but this time, I made a change and baked them in a delicious almond cream tart. I filled puff pastry dough with homemade buttery almond cream and topped it with fresh blueberries.
When blueberries are baked, they release a beautiful deep blue color onto the almond cream. I didn't want the puff pastry to turn soggy, so instead of using regular tart molds, I placed them into brioche molds that could hold more cream as the cavity is much deeper. The tarts were not overly sweet; I really wanted the blueberries to shine in this wonderful French dessert.

Chocolate Orange King Cake (Galette des Rois)
La galette des Rois, or king's cake, is made every year to celebrate Epiphany. For those who don't know, epiphany is a Christian holiday that celebrates the Magi visiting baby Jesus. January 6th is the official day of Epiphany, but in France, we usually celebrate it on the Sunday between the 2nd and the 8th.
This delicious treat is a flaky puff pastry with a sweet filling. The traditional filling is a simple almond cream, or frangipane, but this year I felt like a change. To the basic frangipane recipe I added melted chocolate and Grand Marnier (or orange extract for the kids).
Before serving, it's customary to hide a small figurine in the galette. Whoever gets the piece with the figurine is king (or queen) for a day. In reality, the winner is anyone who gets to have a slice of this delicious dessert.

Frangipane Petit Four with Raspberry Mascarpone Frosting
We hosted another tea party yesterday and I made some polenta tartlets and individual apricot pies. I had some leftover dough and almond cream from each, so I combined the two and baked them until they became dry. The result was similar to a "petit four sec". I had made eggplant rollups for dinner as well, so I used the leftover mascarpone to make a butter cream frosting which I then smeared onto each petit four. It worked like magic.
If an almond cream tart and a polenta tartlet had a baby, my frangipane petit four would probably be the result. Improvising with leftovers is a lot of fun. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but when it does, the result is true culinary innovation. If you have no other use for the leftovers, it's the perfect time to experiment and be creative.

Apricot Tart with Almond Cream and Kaffir Lime Ginger Glaze
I was in the mood to bake today. I thought about making apple tartes amandines but everyone said they were bored with this flavor. So to please the whole house, I paired the almond cream with fresh ripe apricots. In France, you would order "une tarte amandine aux abricots, s'il vous plait!" in a patisserie (bakery). You probably won't learn this phrase in any French for tourists books, but I'm telling you, it's essential for your survival .
For the glaze, I had Laura's apricot pie jelly, a few kaffir lime leaves left that I did not used for my sweet and sour pineapple soup and some fresh ginger. It gave a nice kick to the apricot.
I know what you're going to say about my family. How spoiled are they?

RIM co-CEO: "our high-end products are aging", "a whole next generation" is coming
RIM's very own Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of the Canadian phone maker, shed light on the underlying reason behind the company's lowered sales and profit forecast in a rather unexpected way: "Our higher-end products are aging … and that's affecting … sell-through, particularly in the United States and Latin America."
RIM cut its earnings forecast down to between $1.30 and $1.37 per share in comparison to initial projections of $1.47 to $1.55 per share, all on the background of lower estimate for total shipments which were in recalculated in the range of between 13.5 million to 14.5 million units.
To cement the point about the aged 'Berries, Balsillie added:
"As we've said before we feel great about the BlackBerry Platform and the PlayBook and how they're doing. … We just need to have some newer, higher-end products in the market … This is a transition."
We can't agree more on the last part of the statement - transition is the key word for RIM. And while the previous statement might have sound pessimistic, RIM's chief executive finished on an optimistic note promising a new generation of BlackBerries next week:
"We are straight in the middle of the whole tablet mobile computing space. And we absolutely have a whole next generation of smartphones, so strategically we feel fantastic, but operationally this stuff is pushed out so you have this transition. … We'll have a very exciting BlackBerry World next week. You'll see."
We've heard whispers about the BlackBerry Dakota, Apollo and Torch 2, while just weeks ago promos for the Bold Touch 9900 (Dakota) and Touch 9860 (Monaco) leaked, so we have plenty of reasons to be excited. Check back around next week when BlackBerry World kicks off – we're sure to see more of those new 'Berries.

True story. "iPhones in the business world?...blasphemy! Wait, what? iPhones are in the business world?....ahh crap."

I've lost all hope in RIM. I just cannot believe they let Android and Apple kick them out of the market they dominated and for no reason other than RIM didn't want to innovate what so ever. They wanted to sit back and say, "We're secure, those are just toys..." but smartphones aren't just for businesses anymore and business are even trusting Apple and Google more.
Torch...underpowered POS
PlayBook...undercooked crap

Would love to see RIM still relevant five years from now. But they need a sense of urgency, and a focused plan. The next two years will show if they have either.

It would be great to see them actually start selling phones instead of just dumb terminals!
It took me 2 minutes to set up my iPhone for corporate mail and 2 hours to set up the Blackberry. Additionally, my iphone updates my mailbox better than my blackberry.
I constantly have mails that I already deleted on Outlook on my BB whereas I don't have that issue with my iphone!

The problem is, RIM's high-end stuff is already behind the curve when it comes out. The Bold series is proof of that, why pay more for a Bold when you can get a curve that does the same thing for cheap?

Current styling housings (codename: familiartoconsumers) + current to date of announcement hardware (codename: lessthanstellar) + end of next quarter release date with extended delays (codename: nokiasales) + a pinch of same old, same old qwerty ideals = outdated, old fashioned RIMM CEO's idea of next generation
9. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5954; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If the PlayBook is RIM's idea of how to compete with Android and iOS, they are going to be ...Too Little, Too Soon.... Which is just as bad as Too Little, Too Late. At least they seem to understand the Too Little part.

I'm an HTC Lover but I will tell ya, Blackberries are the safest phones out there for businesses. Can't trust WM/Crapple or Android for E-Mail Exchange.
Blackberries will be N1 in the business field for many years to come.
12. Goldeneye (Posts: 360; Member since: 22 Jan 2011)
Sure we all know that but RIM just can't afford to rely on "the best and safest for businesses" they need to attract consumers and get rid of the business stigma, that scare people off, and yes they need to launch their products faster, cause every time they launch a a new flagship is already behind the competition.
14. JML191 (unregistered)
You know it's weird, here in Canada I see at least 3 blackberrys for one of every other smartphone and all I hear about is declining market share. I'm waiting for the torch 2 because my entire family that sprawled all over the planet (Europe, south America, north America and Asia) has one and with my now Milestone/N8 Combo I get left out of the planning of family events.

RIM reminds me at PALM Inc, around 7 years ago. They were on the top and decide to not Innovate and You know the end result PALM went under ( HP took them over).

How to Take The Clear Coat Off of Your Rims and Polish Them
5SIZ Mar 31 2006 - 5:36pm
Are you tired of looking at those old, dull, dirty, clear coat chipped IROC-Z rims? Do you want to give them a new, fresh look? Well why don't you take the clear coat off, polish them, and have them look like new!
P.S. I am not responsible for anyone messing up their rims, this is an informative article to help you.
Materials Needed:
**Important! Please do not attempt to do this when you do not have the time, this is a time consuming process so set a date when you will have nothing to do when you begin this. It is also best to do this outdoors in the shade since you will be playing with a very hazardous stripper (paint stripping chemical :) ).
Ok, now what you have everything you need let the fun begin!
Step one:
Once you have the rim off, roll it over to a nice shady spot, put a rag or something of the sort under the tire to catch all of the Tal-Strip that falls through the gaps. Go ahead now and READ the instructions on the back of the can if you haven't done so already! Put on your safety gear and take the cap off of the can slowly, be careful of the can spiting because its under pressure and you don't want to get this stuff on your skin, trust me. Also take the center cap off of the rim.
Dip the 1" inch brush right into the can and begin spreading a generous amount on the rim, stroke the brush in ONE DIRECTION ONLY. Be very careful not to get any on the tire, if you do get a drop on it, very quickly wipe it off with a towel, it shouldn't hurt the tire if you take it off fast. Once you have the rim completely covered go ahead and let it sit for about 10 minutes, it should start bubbling and blistering the second you put it on, this shows you its working. While you are waiting, you can kill time by polishing your lug nuts to compliment your new rim :).
Step 2:
Once you are done and are satisfied with the results, dry the rim off pretty well, use the 400 grit sand paper to take most of the left over paint off. Then use the steel wool on the aluminum parts *note: when using the steel wool go with the machine lines on the rims, if you go against them, it will leave scratches.* Once you are done re-hose it to take off all of the dust and steel wool flakes off of the rim. Now it is time to tape the rim up!
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
You now have a freshly painted and polished rim, looks good doesn't it. There is nothing left to do now but put the rim back on the car and finish the other 3!
Soon you will have some great looking rims that will get nothing but compliments. Good luck and I hope my tech article has helped you out. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to e-mail me at: email@example.com, I will get back to you as soon as I can.
