One Lesson You Must Learn to Collect Wine
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Wine experts insist that even the rarest vintages are meant to be drunk. Collectors who ignore that advice could end up with six-figure vinegar if they choose poorly.
Wine collection can be a tough, unforgiving process if you're in it for value and not for the wine itself. Great wines that survive frost, drought and Nazi occupation such as the 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild can sell for as much as $57,500 a bottle, as a case did at Christie's six years ago. Then again, an $85 1991 Pinot Noir that just happened to be bottled during a warm vintage can taste absolutely repugnant if a buyer lets it sit for nine years.
The latter happened to Ryan Sharp, winemaker and co-owner of Enso Winery and wine shop in Portland, Ore. He'd bought the bottle from an Oregon winery he'd known and enjoyed for years, but lacked some essential background information on that year's vintage. Normally, the tannins and other acidic/phenolic compounds found in the stems, seeds and skin of pinot noir grapes would preserve it, but a warm weather vintage throws off the acid and fruit balance or "structure" of a wine and leaves it ill-equipped for aging:
"It's just like with anything else: Oxygen is going to eventually spoil it," Sharp says. "That's just how our world works."It's also evidence that generalities suggesting red wines always age better than white, old world wines always age better than new or that sweet wines always age more poorly than their drier counterparts don't hold much water when you get down to specifics. Large winemakers including Constellation Brands (STZ), Diageo (DEO), Altria (MO), Brown-Forman (BF.B) and even smaller vintners such as Willamette Valley (WVVI) can balance out a bad vintage by adding acids or create vintages specifically designed for immediate drinking. Still, with only a small fraction of the world's wines capable of improving with age, there are plenty of warning signs to look for and spots to avoid if you're looking to invest in a wine with flavor and value that only improves with age. With help from Sharp, we came up with five wines that don't age particularly well and don't give the buyer any return on their investment unless enjoyed with some urgency:

'True Detective' Season 2 to Premiere Summer 2015, Casting Details Confirmed
HBO's 'True Detective' has kept details of of the second season more in mystery than that of the show's own investigations, but before any casting announcements are confirmed, we at last have some real info. HBO has confirmed that season 2 will begin shooting soon, aiming for a summer 2015 premiere date, while shoring up the identities of its three leading characters.
HBO's 'The Leftovers': Watch the Full Series Premiere Right Now
Reviews of Damon Lindelof's rapturous new HBO drama 'The Leftovers have been uniformly across the board, but few would argue that a new series from one of the more controversial voices behind 'LOST' was at least worth a look. Now, HBO has put the full pilot online, along with a brand-new trailer teasing the dour drama ahead!
'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Finale Spoilers: "Unexpected Visitors, Big Challenges and Harsh Realities!"
It's hard to believe we're already approaching the 'Game of Thrones' season 4 finale, but 6 episodes in, all of Westeros is ready to blow now that Tyrion's trial has taken a dramatic turn, and the Wildlings remain a threat to the Wall. So, how does it all end? Get a clue to the final three episodes of 'Game of Thrones' season 4 with the latest episode synopses for "The Mountain and the Viper," "The Watchers on the Wall," and "The Children!"
'Last Week Tonight': Watch the Premiere of John Oliver's New HBO Sunday News Series
HBOThe late-night landscape isn't quite done shifting after Letterman's retirement, now that Craig Ferguson has followed suit by retiring from 'The Late Late Show,' but at least 'The Daily Show' alum John Oliver has officially settled into his new home. Watch the premiere of HBO's new Sunday news series 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' right now!
HBO and Amazon Prime Strike Major Streaming Deal: Which Series Made the Cut?
HBO has long been a thorn in the side of streaming media enthusiasts, only licensing its content to be accessed through HBO GO, unlike the Netflix and Amazon Prime models that have become so commonplace in recent years. Now, the pay-cable network struck a surprising Amazon Prime deal to deliver streams of a variety of shows past and present, but don't expect to start that 'Game of Thrones' marathon just yet.
'Game of Thrones' Seasons 5 and 6: HBO Renews for Two More Years!
We wish this news had been more surprising than it actually is, considering Sunday's 'Game of Thrones' season 4 premiere, "Two Swords," once gain shattered HBO ratings records, while showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss already signed on for seasons 5 and 6. Still, because the sky is blue and obvious things are obvious, HBO officially opted to renew 'Game of Thrones' for a fifth and sixth season, carrying the war for Westeros all the way through 2016.
Mike Judge's 'Silicon Valley': Watch the Entire HBO Premiere Right Now
We've said it before, and we'll say it again. 'Game of Thrones' season 4 dominated the conversation this past Sunday (and apparently enough of HBOGo to cause another overload), but amid all the brand-new trailers, another HBO series deserves a bit of exposure. Check out Mike Judge's TV return with the full premiere episode of tech comedy 'Silicon Valley' right now!
'Veep' Season 3 Trailer: Operation Lady POTUS Is Go!
On the heels of the first new trailer for HBO's third season of 'Veep,' we've got a brand new trailer for the upcoming season of the hilarious series, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus returning as Selina Meyer, everyone's favorite Vice President. And this time around, with the President declining to run for a second term, it looks like it's Selina's time to make a run for the Oval Office -- but she may need to trim the fat, first. That's where new recurring star Diedrich Bader comes in.
'True Detective' Season 2 Eyes Brad Pitt, Says Totally Real Internet Rumor, Maybe
Only one week removed from the "Form and Void" of 'True Detective''s first season finale, and HBO has yet to formally confirm that Nic Pizzolatto's anthology drama will return for a second season in 2015. Smart money tells us that the network may wait for Pizzolatto's first scripts and locked-down casting to officially move forward, while the latest name supposedly put forth for 'True Detective' season 2 is none other than Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt. Maybe.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide exited the freight payment services business by selling its T-Chek subsidiary for $302.5 million in cash to Electronic Funds Source.
The sale helps hone C.H. Robinson's logistics, forwarding and brokerage portfolio as it expands overseas and gives EFS a profitable freight-payment business.
C.H. Robinson in early October acquired freight forwarder Phoenix International for $635 million, increasing the $10.3 billion company's international reach.
In September, C.H. Robinson acquired Apreo Logistics, a $100 million international freight forwarder based in Warsaw, Poland.
The growth strategy is gaining support on Wall Street. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised its position on C.H. Robinson stock from "neutral" to "buy" Oct. 17.
Wall Street analysts expect the Minneapolis-based logistics company's third-quarter earnings, to be released Oct. 23, to be 4.3 percent higher year-over-year.
T-Chek, a part of C.H. Robinson since 1984, provides freight payment services to truckload, less-than-truckload and private carriers and truck stop chains.
The division has been expanding into financial services, including funds transfer and expense management, for a broader range of industries, said C.H. Robinson.
In the 12 months that ended Sept. 30, T-Chek had about $52 million in operating revenue, about 4 percent of C.H. Robinson's total revenue, the company said.
The division's operating profit was approximately $26 million, according to C.H. Robinson. T-Chek employed about 190 people, primarily in Minnesota.
The acquisition will expand payment services for EFS, which works with transportation customers such as Knight Transportation and TransAm Trucking.
The company will serve C.H. Robinson as well, providing the third-party logistics company with employee expense cards and funds transfer services.

IStar Financial's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Our progress will take time with low interest rates and slowing improving macro backdrop, we believe each of these businesses can begin to move forward and position themselves for making attractive investments as we continue to strengthen the overall corporate balance sheet. And with that quick update let me turn it over to Dave for more of the details. Dave?
David DiStaso
Thanks, Jay, and good morning everyone. I will begin by discussing our financial results for the first quarter and fiscal year 2011 before moving to investment activity and credit quality. And I will end up with an update on liquidity, including the launch of the new financing that we announced this morning.
For the quarter we reported a net loss of $35 million, or a loss of $0.43 per diluted common share compared to a net loss of $67 million or a loss of $0.73 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2010. The year-over-year improvement was due to lower loan loss provisions of $16 million versus $54 million for the same period last year, as well as increased earnings for equity method investments as a result of the sales of our interest in Oak Hill Advisors. This was partially offset by lower revenues from a smaller overall asset base and increased interest expense.Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $100 million compared to $103 million for the same period last year. The year-over-year results included lower revenue from a smaller asset base, offset by increased earnings from equity method investments and lower general and administrative costs. For the full year 2011, we reported a net loss of $62 million or a loss of $0.70 per diluted common share, compared to income of $36 million or $0.39 per diluted common share in 2010.

SSL Cert for site
How can I set up a site to use an SSL cert on a different port like 444. Right now, every time I try to add a self signed cert to a site it complains that there already is a cert for the server IP. Do I have to add another IP in order to use a cert on one of my sites. It seems that once the cert is in use for ISPConfig itself, I can no longer use a self signed cert on any other sites.
If ISPConfig does not use any cert then how does it use https on port 81? It is using a self signed cert in the name of my server (I am trying ISPConfig out on my staging server). You can, and I have done this, add SSL service on the same IP but on a different port. However, I can add another another IP if I have to but how does doing this affect my current install of ISPConfig?
Thanks for your reply.
If you want to use a different port for SSL, then you won't be able to manage that https site through ISPConfig because it assumes port 443 for https. You'd have to configure Apache manually then.
Adding another IP is simple: after you've configured the IP on your OS, you can add it under Management > Server > Settings.

Yamaha reveals the remaining models of its 2014 lineup, with the FJR1300 sport-touring platform now offering electronic suspension. Yamaha also debuts a new version of its zippy 50cc Zuma, the
Zuma 50FX
, and a
limited-edition Raider SCL
from its Star cruiser line. Also of note is what hasn't changed for 2014, as the Tuning Fork brand's R1 Superbike and R6 Supersport platforms will go untouched for yet another model year. MSRP hasn't changed either, as Yamaha freezes pricing on its returning 2013 models.
The FJR1300ES gets its moniker from the new electronic suspension package. The ES system adjusts damping in the fork, and the damping and preload setting in the rear shock. Four preload settings are available: One Up, One Up with Luggage, Two Up and Two Up with Luggage. Within each preload setting, three preset damping settings are offered: Soft, Standard and Hard. Additionally, riders can further adjust the damping – three firmer and three softer from the base setting. ES adjustment is operated via handlebar-mounted switch, with the setting displayed on the FJR's right-side LCD display.
At $16,890 the ES model packs a $1000 premium on the base FJR1300, which returns following a 2013 redesign that included an overhaul of the 1298cc Inline Four, the addition of ride-by-wire, traction control and switchable engine maps, as well as significant chassis updates (Read more in the
2013 Yamaha FJR1300 First Ride
). The FJR base model does get one tweak for 2014 as Candy Red colorway replaces last year's Stone Gray.
Coloring was also the news for the much-anticipated FZ-09, as the Blazing Orange paint scheme will be offered alongside the Liquid Graphite and Rapid Red options already revealed when the new mount broke cover earlier this summer. Yamaha says it added the new color option because of the enthusiastic response to the new design. Read more on the all-new naked standard and its Inline Triple in the
FZ-09 First Look article
and stay tuned for a First Ride report after we sample it later this month.
Yamaha's Superbike and Supersport platforms are unaltered for 2014. The R1 got its last ground-up redesign in 2009, premiering its signature crossplane Inline Four, while 2012 marked the addition of traction control. The R6 has gone even longer since a major overhaul, way back in 2008. But, as mentioned before, the pricing is unchanged for the new year – making the $10,990 R6 the most affordable bike in its class. Yamaha also returns its FZ-1 standard for 2014, as well as the fully-faired FZ6R.

Thanks Bart. I really love this bike and certainly would consider buying one. I hope that Yamaha has tightened the handling with the ES. Keep us posted!

Good question sloppy. Won't know until we get a chance to ride one. The older FJR (pre-2013 model year redesign) is one of my all-time favorite handling bikes. On the 2013 revamped FJR, which I tested last year, I appreciated all of the changes to the engine, including the improved fueling and addition of ride by wire and variable engines maps. The one question mark I had were the changes to the front fork. But the limited riding time didnt allow us to fiddle too much with the suspension settings. I imagine the electronic suspension will improve the ride, or at least make it more versatile to rider tastes. But we won't know until we try one... I imagine MotoUSA will get the opportunity later this year.

That FZ-09 looks awesome without those awful blue wheels.
September 9, 2013 06:17 AM
Bart, how is the ES supposed to handle as compared to the 1300A. With inverted forks, I assume it will be much more firm and sporty.

Bulgaria CensusEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Back to Bulgaria Page►
The first national census was conducted in 1880 just after liberation from Ottoman rule. Additional censuses were conducted in 1884, 1887, 1892, 1900, 1905, 1910, 1926, 1934, 1946, 1956, 1965 and other more recent years. The name lists for the censuses from 1880-1892 have not been preserved. The disposition of the census name lists for the 20th century is not known.
Ottoman census records for the period 1831-1872 were enumerations of males compiled not as population counts but for fiscal and military purposes. They contain the name of the head of household, male family members, ages, occupation, and property. Ottoman census records are located at the Oriental Department of the Cyril and Methodius National Library, Sofia. Some may be preserved among the archives of the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul.
Records at the Family History Library
The Family History Library does not have census records from Bulgaria.

A jack-o'-lantern does not a pumpkin puree make. I guess I should amend the previous statement to say: Pumpkin puree does always not come from a can. Now that it's fall, you may be seeing pumpkins of all sorts at the market. Roasting and mashing a pumpkin makes a rich, delicious puree that can be used in many different ways. Go ahead—throw out your can openers this fall!
When you're at the market, make sure to pick the correct kind of pumpkin. There may be options galore; it is important, however, not to pick the decorative sort of pumpkin. That means no jack-o'-lanterns! As festive as this type of squash is, it will make a horribly stringy, watery puree—not tasty. You want a sugar pumpkin.
This type of pumpkin usually runs between 2.5 to 5 pounds. They are smaller than the Halloween variety (except the mini-pumpkins, which are strictly decorative) and are packed with nutrients such as beta-carotene and vitamins C and E.
Pumpkin puree is a great autumnal addition to many savory or sweet dishes. On the savory side, try it as an addition to a smooth and luxurious soup, spooned into risotto or added to a pasta sauce. And though you can never forget about pumpkin pie, try other pumpkin recipes like muffins, quick breads or pancakes for a festive treat.
Pumpkin Puree
1 3- to 5-pound sugar pumpkin (may also be called a pie pumpkin)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of the pumpkin. Slice the pumpkin in half. Scrape the interior of seeds and pulp. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 70 minutes, depending on size. Pumpkin should be soft and easily poked with a fork. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
Scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Place the pulp in a food processer and process until smooth. This should take about one minute.
Pumpkin contains a lot of liquid. Place the pulp in a cheesecloth-lined colander, and then place the colander over a bowl. Refrigerate overnight. The pulp will have exuded up to a cup of liquid; discard this liquid. Sealed puree will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, or in a freezer bag in the freezer for a few months.
One 3-pound pumpkin makes approximately 1.5 cups of puree.
Have you ever cooked the wrong kind of pumpkin? Chime in below!

This response is directed not to his wife and children but to Mr. Presberg, who holds (appointed) public office and should know better than to expose his "progressive" worldview for Fayette voters to examine.
Mr. Presberg essentially makes three points:
1. How dare any student report such negative information about Sandy Creek High School to a parent?
2. How dare the parent write a letter based on that information to a newspaper?
3. And — most egregiously, in Mr. Presberg's opinion — how dare this newspaper print such a letter? Read More»

I sure have been to a lot of funerals in the past year. I guess when you become older than dirt, that happens.
One funeral was conducted by a preacher who loved to sing. Not only did he lead the congregation in song, but when he followed the deceased up the aisle, he was belting out a song with all he had. And yes, he was good at it.
At another funeral, the deceased for decades had always sat in the same seat. If you're a church-goer, you know that the faithful will always sit in the same spot, and woe be to those who dare to occupy that spot. Read More»

The title atop the column in this space two decades ago was, "The rollercoaster ride begins."
It was my first column in the first issue of this newspaper — Feb. 10, 1993.
Most of the names on that first masthead are gone, including one signally important one — Dave Hamrick, the first managing editor of what was then called The Fayette Citizen.

I moved to Fayetteville in April 1966. While in the process of moving boxes in, my 6-year-old son fell off his tricycle onto the concrete driveway, causing a few gashes on his forehead.
I don't remember who we called to find a doctor, but we were led to a small white clinic that sat beside the Fayetteville Methodist Church.
Forty-eight years later, my son still has a couple of thin scars from that event.
This was my first introduction to Dr. Ferrol Aubrey Sams, Jr. For the next 40 years I or my children were a patient of his. Read More»

There is a lot of talk today about reviving the idea from a few decades ago to ban some of the guns held by U.S. citizens. Remember those days in the '70s and '80s? Gun control became a hot-button political topic, complete with rants from the left and accompanying news stories from their faithful minions in the media. But the push withered away. A few decades later, it's back. Read More»

As the weather gets nicer, people flock to their porches and yards. Unfortunately, so do bugs. If you're looking to reduce the bugs around your outdoor lights but don't like the look of yellow bug lights, LED might just be the perfect solution.
Traditional bug lights tend to be identifiable by their yellow color. The reason for this is that traditional bulbs emit light across a wide spectrum, including ultraviolet (UV) light. This light is invisible to humans but is highly attractive to insects. The yellow coating of a bug light is designed to filter out most of this ultraviolet light; they're not designed to repel insects but to simply be less attractive to them.
In addition to the other benefits LED bulbs offer, most LEDs emit light in a very narrow spectrum and do not emit UV light, and are therefore not attractive to bugs. Many bulbs in our LED lineup are also damp location rated, so they're ideal for outdoor use as long as they're not directly exposed to the weather or completely enclosed.
If you want to save energy, increase life, and reduce bugs in your outdoor spaces, LED might just be the right light for you.

General | Tips and Tricks
When shopping around for LED bulbs, it doesn't take long to run into huge variances in price, wattage, and guarantees. Lots of people ask about the differences between them. The fact is, while the number of high-quality and high performance LED products is increasing every day, there are quite a few products out there that just aren't built to perform or to last.
In terms of technology, an LED bulb shares a lot more in common with a consumer electronics device than it does with a typical filament based light bulb. You wouldn't have the same expectations of a $30 camera as you would a $300 camera, and that's a good mindset to have when looking for an LED bulb as well. There are a number of components that are critical to a viable LED lighting product, and any bulb is only as good as its weakest link.

Eric Cole is Bulbs.com's Category Manager for LED lighting products.
I know that many of our customers are trying to educate themselves about LED technology. In a sense, most of us in the industry are doing the same thing. LED technology has been around for some time and we at Bulbs.com have been following its progress very closely, but what LED is going to look like as a widespread, effective, and reliable everyday lighting solution is still evolving. Here are some thoughts on what to look for, and what to look out for, when considering a transition to LEDs.
LEDs are most well known for their extremely long life and energy efficiency. LED useful life is based on the number of operating hours until the LED is emitting 70% of its initial light output. Top quality LEDs in well-designed fixtures are expected to have a useful life of 30,000 to 50,000 hours, significantly higher than the 1,000 hours for a typical incandescent bulb and 8,000 to 10,000 hours for a comparable CFL. LEDs usually don't "burn out" like incandescent bulbs do. Instead, they get progressively dimmer over time. This can be helpful in critical lighting areas. They also tend to use less than one-sixth as much energy as their incandescent or halogen counterparts, and 2-3 times less than most CFLs. More...

I have an Imperial Stout which has been in a secondary for almost a year. I am getting ready to bottle. I have some dry yeast I was going to rehydrate and add to the bottling bucket with the priming sugar. Should I add all of it, part of it? Thanks for any advice.
My first thought would be none. But then I've never conditioned one that long in a secondary.

You will want to add some yeast at bottling. I think the calculator on www.mrmalty.com will calculate bottling pitching rate.
There is probably enough yeast left to carb the beer, but it will be slow.
I add yeast to anything over 6 months. About a half pack of dry yeast to 7 gallons. I really don't think it matters if you add too much or too little; it will carb in the end.
Definitely add some fresh yeast though. After a year, the viability is less than 1%, and the alcohol content will be very stressful for the small amount of yeast left.
Keg & force carb!
Sorry, someone had to say it!
Thanks, I would like to force carb, but I don't have the gear. Plus I am giving it away to the people I was deployed with. A little welcome home gift. Even if it turns out bD, it is the best they have had in a year, plus free beer.

Disney Breezes Past Earnings Estimates
Walt Disney (DIS) easily surpassed analysts' earnings expectations for the latest second quarter, even as revenue fell 4% from the same period a year ago.
The broadcasting and entertainment concern posted earnings, excluding charges and accounting changes, of $391 million, or 19 cents a share. Analysts expected the company to earn 13 cents, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. Disney earned $294 million, or 14 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31 fell to $6.05 billion from $6.29 billion last year.The Burbank, Calif., company said parks and resorts revenue for the quarter increased 5% to $1.6 billion, while operating income remained flat at $331 million. Revenue for Disney's media networks fell 8% to $2.2 billion, and operating income dropped 9% to $489 million. Revenue for the studio entertainment division fell 5% to $1.6 billion, but operating income rose to $164 million from $46 million a year ago. "Economic downturns are never good news, but historically, our company has always emerged from them stronger than ever," Disney said in a press release. "With this in mind, we remain confident in meeting or exceeding our fiscal goals for this year and about the long-term prospects for the Walt Disney Company.''

Does the constant misuse of the word 'football' by our American brothers make you regularly clench your teeth like a rabid pit bull?
Have you banned the word 'soccer' in your household and do you annually stare in complete confusion at your TV screen when it's announced that 'it's time for the Superbowl!'
Or like fictional Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ted Lasson, in the video above, do you think that the beautiful game could actually benefit from taking a little guidance from our pals across the pond?
The NBC Sports skit starring SNL's Jason Sudeikis is a fricking awesome parody of everything everyone hates about America's often confused outlook on the greatest sport in the history of the world. But, despite it's tongue being very firmly in it's cheek, it does still raise a few questions.
Sure, after three months of a footie-drought (no, the Confederations Cu doesn't count), we're frothing at the mouth as much as the next man, at the mere thought of a new footie season. But, as much as we love it and constantly praise it as the best thing since someone invented oxygen, we do admit there could be room for improvement.
Sacrilage, we know, but could football be better if we got rid of things like 'draws' and introduced harder tackles? Would the game be all together more progressive if our players weren't allowed to go backwards during play and would more people understand the offside trap?
Or would it simply just be miles better if we introduced more cheerleaders at half time?
We want to know in the comments below, how would you make the beautiful game even prettier?
To see what the FHM team reckon, check out our Football Manifesto in the new issue, in shops now and available on your iPad, right bloody now.

Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Hyundai Sonata
Ever since Hyundai introduced the Sonata, the car has been slowly snatching up small chunks of the luxury market from much more expensive brands. Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to drive the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo for review. The car surprised a member of Bullz-Eye's staff with its upscale features and impressive performance.
Here's an excerpt from his review:
The interior of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo is loaded with options. The design is as far from conservative as one could imagine. I liked the wine leather interior seats, which worked well with the dark dashboard and carpet. The panorama moon roof was awesome and, with features like push button start, heated front and rear seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel mounted cruise, audio and phone controls I was looking forward to spending time in the 2011 Sonata. Also in our Limited package was an Infinity am/fm/XM audio with a popping subwoofer, HD radio with multicasting, iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks. To round out the package, Hyundai included an integrated bluetooth hands free phone system, electrochromic auto dimming rearview mirror with compass, navigation with high resolution touchscreen display and rear back up camera. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo is loaded but that only gets you so far if the interior isn't a place that you want to spend time. Thankfully, the look and feel of the interior is again something you would expect from a much more expensive vehicle. At times I did see some sun reflection from the shiny plastic finishing in the interior but that was a minor negative in what is overall a very well thought out cabin.
For more info about the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, head over to the Bullz-Eye Cars channel.
Bullz-Eye reviews the Suzuki Kizashi
Just because you haven't heard of the Suzuki Kizashi doesn't mean you should write it off. Suzuki has been a bit of a sleeper brand in the US, but the 2011 Kizashi SLS Sport was enough to surprise our staff member while he test drove it for Bullz-Eye.
Here's an excerpt from his review:
The interior of the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS felt like it belonged to a much higher priced vehicle. Our test model included push button ignition, 10-way power driver seat with memory, dual zone auto climate control, 425W Rockford Fosgate CD Audio with booming 10 speakers, iPod and MP3 USB Port. The Kizashi also had Bluetooth hands free calling, a leather steering wheel, power moon roof and heated mirrors. I also want to mention the upscale black appointed leather seats as they were some of the most comfortable and stylish seats I have seen in a vehicle with a 20k sticker price. Suzuki used the same leather to accent the door panels. That's a detail normally used in much more expensive sedans than the Kizashi Sport. The dashboard is sleek with a very clean center stack, featuring quality dials and buttons that also give that feel of "affordable luxury".
To read more about the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi, including our staff's take on the car's performance, head over to Bullz-Eye.com.
Classic Drinks: The Old Fashioned
Sunday morning may seem like a strange time to suggest cocktail recipes, but chances are you had your fair share of average drinks last night. Just as every man should know how to tie a tie, how to shoot pool, and of course how to get a good shave, every man should also know how to make a good drink – the more the better. For classy gents, the Old Fashioned is a perfect drink, and Bullz-Eye's got a perfect recipe:
2 ounces of whiskey (bourbon, rye or Canadian)
1 teaspoon of superfine sugar and 1/2 ounce water, or 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
Angostura or Regan's orange bitters
Orange wedge and/or maraschino cheery (optional)
Dissolve superfine sugar — regular table sugar or cubes will also work but are harder to dissolve — in water or pour 1/2 ounce of simple syrup (i.e., sugar water) into a wide mouth Old Fashioned glass. If you like, muddle (smash) an orange slice in the bottom of the glass. Add ice cubes, whiskey and bitters — again, we personally prefer Angostura for bourbon or rye or Regan's orange for Canadian, but it's your call. Stir vigorously with a swizzle stick or club spoon. Sip away.
Variations: The Old Fashioned engenders as much controversy and variations as the martini. Sometimes, we like to prepare it in a shaker and serve either on the rocks or "up" into a chilled glass. The Brandy Old Fashioned is also an honorable drink, especially beloved in Wisconsin.
Don't: Use powdered sugar, unless that's all you've got. This is not the same as superfine sugar and contains cornstarch.
Don't: Use soda water. Some recipes call for it and many bartenders will automatically make it this way. Every time we've tried it, it ruins the flavor of the slightly sweetened whiskey.
Do: Add the muddled orange slice and/or maraschino cherry. Many cocktail devotees get fussy over matters like orange pulp on the bottom of the glass. Oddly, this doesn't bother us.
Man cannot sip on an Old Fashioned alone, which is why Bullz-Eye put together a list of classic drinks with great recipes for each. Head over to the Bullz-Eye Get Real Guide for Men for more recipes.
Bullz-Eye's 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T Photo Gallery
Bullz-Eye is currently behind the wheel of a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T. Hyundai's taken a lot of time to liven up the design of this affordable sedan. Head over to the Bullz-Eye Sonata gallery to see pics of the new model and, as always, keep an eye out for the upcoming review.
Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Volvo S60 T6
One of our staff recently got behind the wheel of a Volvo S60 T6 for Bullz-Eye.com. His review highlights the way Volvo is operating under new leadership and how the design has changed over the last several models.
Here's a quick look at what he had to say:
Volvo is known for safety innovation but over the past few years it seems like their interiors are receiving as much attention, if not more. The soft, black leather sport seats in the front and rear were some of the most comfortable seats I have experienced in any car I've driven as of late. The dashboard is crisp and precise without clutter and the center console is tilted slightly towards the driver for better views and execution. Our model had a 7-inch color LCD monitor, 8-way power driver seat, a thick and sturdy leather sport steering wheel, dual zone electronic climate control and Bluetooth hands free interface. The interior also has luxury details like its leather trimmed door panels and the high performance Volvo Premium Sound System with Dolby Pro. Going into spring in Ohio I was able to enjoy the power moon roof on some decent days.
For the rest of the Volvo S60 T6 review, including performance impressions, head over to the Bullz-Eye Cars channel.
