From his first job as a bobbin boy at age thirteen to his status as the richest man in the world upon retirement, Carnegie was the embodiment of the American dream and the prototype of today's billionaire.

Heifer, whose environmental awareness is underscored by its eco-friendly home office in Little Rock, Arkansas, offers a wide range of ways to help. This year, the big ticket item is the Heifer Gift Ark, which (for $5,000) delivers 15 pair of animals. For a bit less ($1,500), you can go for the "Joy to the World" Gift Basket, which includes two sheep, four goats, one heifer and two llamas.
A heifer alone goes for $500, with an individual sheep or goat priced at $120. For those on a tighter budget, a gift of either chicks or ducks and geese can be had for $20. You also can purchase a "share" of most of the larger animals for about 10 percent of the full cost. And, for folks wanting to stay a little closer to a more traditional interpretation of "green," tree seedlings can be forwarded for a donation of $60.
Heifer is a good option, but hardly the only one to consider this season. Here are other organizations that can help you find gifts that are good fun and good for the planet:

I'm wondering where a Polaroid picture would meet a strip of negatives. Certainly not at a film developing store - those don't exist anymore.
Look for the silver nitrate lining ; )
The one thing I don't like about it is that it looks to me like the negatives aren't actual negatives.
I don't think it's appropriate for a rainbow to encourage people to be "positive"
8 colors. Is that a record? I know 7 is done on occasion but I've never seen 8. *hmms*
I am surprised that there are still people who remember what film/negatives are.
Love it! Very cute and creative!

"I bought lacewing larvae for a couple of years now and they've had a great affect on the aphids, so last autumn we put up a lacewing chamber too. Now I must admit that I was a little sceptical that it would actually work, but left it out and then stored it away for the winter. I put it out at the end of April (I only remembered when loads of aphids appeared on my roses) and I was pleasantly surprised to see little lacewing larvae just a couple of days later. Suffice to say the roses are now aphid free and the apple tree has stayed aphid free. Many thanks for bringing to my attention a great natural product that really works." Regards Duncan |
Ladybird, Bee and Butterfly Houses - A range of houses designed to encourage beneficial insects and wildlife to breed and over-winter in your garden. Positioning a ladybird house, bee house, lacewing chamber, frog box, etc will encourage beneficial insects / animals to feed, breed & over winter in YOUR garden. The range includes :-
ProductsLadybird Breeding KitThe kit contains everything you need to breed your own Ladybirds (Adalia Bipunctata) , which can then be released in the garden. Ideal for children, schools or a unique gift - perfect for the Green Gardener. Produce your own ladybirds to release in your garden to tackle your pest problems with this fascinating ladybird breeding kit. Read more... Butterfly Breeding KitsBreed butterflies and then release them in YOUR garden with these Butterfly Kits. These kits allow children and adults to enjoy watching all the stages of butterfly development from caterpillar to Painted Lady Butterflies. And once you have enjoyed studying them you can release these native butterflies straight into your garden. Read more... Paper Pots / Plant Plug MakersUse these new products to make plugs / pots out of newspaper. Paper plugs / pots are one of the best ways to get your plants off to the best start - simply sow your seeds directly into them and then once the plants are established, plant the whole thing out into the garden, baskets or pot on without disturbing the roots. Read more... Natural SpraysControl pests during with a NATURAL spray which will NOT harm beneficial insects. There are no harmful chemical residues left behind, so beneficial insects can be introduced AS SOON as the temperatures are warm enough. Read more... Natural Blackspot and Mildew ControlFor blemish free roses the natural way apply Sulphur Rose - Roses are a gardener's favourite, but often develop yellow leaves and black blotches i.e Blackspot & Mildew, which makes the plants unsightly. Sulphur rose is a brilliant plant tonic which is sprayed on and encourages healthy blemish-free growth and is safe for ladybirds and lacewings. Read more... Control Aphids with LadybirdsAphids (both greenfly and blackfly) are a big problem in gardens. Ladybirds love to eat aphids, but they can be scarce. Help nature by introducing extra ladybirds (available as adults and larvae) into your garden from May onwards. Over a period of time increasing the number of beneficial insects in the garden will lead to a permanent increase in the number of beneficial insects in your garden and a decrease in the number of aphids. Then, position a ladybird house to encourage the beneficial insects to feed, breed & over winter in YOUR garden. Read more... Slug and Snail Barriers and TrapsSlugs and snails don't just attack plants in borders so we have put together a range of copper tapes, mats, pot feet, rings and bands for protecting pots and containers. Our copper bands/rings and our best selling hosta halos will protect early young growth before Nemaslug can be applied. We also have a range of slug traps suitable for positioning both in borders or on hard surfaces i.e. for protecting plants on patios. Read more... The Worm Works WormeryA wormery is an easy and efficient system of converting kitchen waste into compost and liquid feed using a worm bin containing native British composting worms. Worms are fast, efficient, natural composters and each worm eats up to half its own body weight in waste each day, turning it into high quality compost and concentrated liquid feed. Read more... |

New Columbus, Ohio racetrack attracting NASCAR hopes? [w/video]
Michael Waltrip has announced that he and his race team will be investors in a new racetrack coming to Columbus, Ohio. The Sports Pavilion and Automotive Research Complex is currently being developed on the site of the city's Cooper Stadium and will include a half-mile track and seating for 8,500 spectators. A 50,000 square-foot office building will provide research space while an on-site hotel will serve up accommodations and a meeting center. The plan also calls for 1,900 parking spaces and several locations for restaurants. Of course, we're more excited to hear the SPARC facility will feature an outdoor karting track.
We're all for adding another paved oval to the world, but it seems unlikely the venue would attract any attention from NASCAR organisers. While the track itself could support a NASCAR event, Waltrip says the limited seating on hand would make it difficult to accommodate the sport's spectators. Instead, the SPARC track would possibly bring in smaller Nationwide Series races. More importantly, the track will offer NASCAR teams another viable testing facility since race rules prohibit testing on any track associated with a series race. You can check out the project's promotional video below.

As Phil has said, we shot Deathilating Machine (aka In The Flesh) a long time ago, yet for one reason or another it's never been completed. We got close last year, but Phil wanted to work on the visual effects some more, and I was never really happy with the edit. Then we completed ZombieZ, then came the Mirrors music video, and then came a much needed rest.
And now we're here.
Try as I may, I've been unable to export an AFF of the old project. Having spent some time messing around and achieving nothing on that, I decided I'd simply render it out and re-edit that way - messy but there aren't that many adjustments to make. As our continued run of luck would have it, it wouldn't even render out! You couldn't make it up.
Well, a bit more messing around and using my laptop instead of the tower, and finally I was able to render but only in uncompressed. Don't ask. It's a fraction under 110gig. Actually it may be a bit more as I'm not convinced it finished, as the external drive is completely full.....
Regardless, I've struggled on, created a new project, put the [2] huge uncompressed AVIs on a timeline and am now rendering to my favourite lossless codec. 33 minutes to go. But who's counting.
All being well, I'll re-edit tonight and implement the changes I've planned. There are one or two areas I need to play around to see if various ideas work. Then finally, we'll have a locked edit, and Phil and I can finalise the CG shots.
The trouble then will be the sound, with original soundman Piotr incredibly busy on Latest TV, I'm not quite sure how we'll work that out. Maybe I'll ask Phil really nicely, he done a grand job on ZombieZ.....

Royals announce new role for bullpen coach Steve Foster
Bullpen coach Steve Foster is leaving the Royals' Major League staff to become special assistant to general manager Dayton Moore and Minor League pitching coordinator.
Rick Knapp has been let go after less than one year of service.
Personally, I don't understand this move….I need to learn more about Foster and see where he stands on things I believe in. The comment about pitchers stalling seems a bit unfair to put blame on Knapp who had to clean up 5 years of lack of development from the previous regime.
Bill Fischer who never had a finger pointed at him still has a job …and will serve as bullpen coach this weekend until Larry Carter replaces him once NWA season ends.

I have a really beautiful large fennel plant in the veggie garden that attracted tons of beneficial insects in the summer. I'm not worried about it being a bad companion plant because I have an abundance of space in the vegetable garden so I can plant other plants elsewhere.
My question is, I know its a perennial so why not just cut it back and enjoy its beauty next spring? If I take it out this fall won't it take a long time to start from scratch (by seed) to grow another spectacular plant? I'm not growing it for the bulbs, just for looks and beneficial insects at this point. Thanks for any advice.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I you have the space I see no reason at all to dig it up. You wouldn't do that with the perennials in the flower garden would you? I have a clump of bronze fennel on my allotment which has been there for years. One tip. Fennel grows a long tap root so even quite small plants are hard to pull up. Your fennel will almost certainly self seed so you need to pull up the babies as soon as possible. |

"The Holy Father, deeply saddened to hear the painful news of the violent explosion that happened in Rosario … prays for the repose of the deceased, and raises fervent prayers to the Lord that he grant comfort to those affected by misfortune, inspiring in all feelings of Christian hope and fraternal solidarity," reads an Aug. 7 telegram sent to Archbishop José Luis Mollaghan of Rosario.
The message, which was sent in the Pope's name by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone was read in public during a Mass and procession for Tuesday's feast of Saint Gaetano, Argentina's most popular saint.
The cause of the Tuesday morning blast is under investigation, but according to interviews the local media conducted with residents, the massive explosion was happened when a repairman was trying to replace a gas valve.
Residents of the nine-story, three-tower complex had been complaining of leaks and low gas pressure for weeks and a July 26 repair by the company Litoral Gas SA did not resolve the issues.
"So the residents' committee consulted with gas repairmen, and they said the valve had to be changed. That was the work they were doing," resident Marcos Morales explained to La Capital newspaper.
Judge Juan Carlos Curto, who is investigating the incident, emphasized to reporters that the blast "isn't something that just happened yesterday, but rather it had been coming for days with different jobs by Litoral Gas and by repairmen, not just the detained one, and this resulted in yesterday's repair job that was directly linked to the explosion."
The strength of the morning blast severely damaged two buildings and collapsed a third. It also caused authorities to close a large part of downtown Rosario, which is home to 1.2 million people.
Search and rescue efforts have been going on since the explosion, with most of the work being done by hand and lightweight equipment, since several of the buildings affected by the blast seem near collapse.
The latest count of victims lists 11 fatalities, 60 wounded and 11 missing, according to the Associated Press.
Pope Francis finished his message by extending the victims and their families the consolation of his apostolic blessing.

Automating Web Site Builds with Team Build
Using Team Build to Build an ASP.NET Web Site
So – you're a web guy – good for you! – no – really – I mean it. You like ASP.NET – Excellent. You heard about this Team System hubbub and think to yourself "nice…" and dive into the automated build world that is provided with Team Foundation Server. You follow the rules by creating a Solution Structure that contains a web site – you add it to Team System's rocking new source code repository and jump into the Team Build Wizard to go and create a new automated build (after you install Team Build on a separate computer of course). You run through the create build definition wizard – and you can literally hear the villagers dancing in the streets! You go and kick off the build through the Visual Studio Team Explorer – and… it doesn't work.
Very common problem apparently. First of all, check out the properties of your solution file…specifically Configuration Properties->Configuration. Here you will see a list of your projects, their configurations and platform. Notice how your web app's platform is .NET. Hmm… did you even see that option when setting up the automated build? Nope – ya didn't. You only had the ability to select Debug and Release and to select from a platform list that included the Itanium, but not .NET.
So, is there a solution? Sure… I guess. What I've done to fix the problem is to remove the following section(s) from the TFSBuild.proj file that essentially helps to define the Build definition (this is stored in source control under "Team Build Types\><NAMEOFYOURBUILD>" in case you were wondering).
<ConfigurationToBuild Include="Debug|Any CPU">
<PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild>
This will force the Mr. Big Build to use the configuration defined in the solution file. You can alternatively change that section to the following:
<ConfigurationToBuild Include="Debug|Any CPU">
So, this get's better – suppose you have a solution that has a web site as well as a bunch of libraries. Well, in this case you have a mixed set of configurations and platform targets don't ya…
Try this:
<ConfigurationToBuild Include="Debug|Mixed Platforms">
<PlatformToBuild>Mixed Platforms</PlatformToBuild>
In truth, these options should appear in the Team Build creation wizard.. but for some reason that's not always the case. Also, don't discount the importance of the solution structure and your web site – you need to ensure your website is contained within the solution structure.
November 21 Release of the Team System Process Editor
Here is the latest release. What's changed? Well, we ripped out all of the Infragistics controls for one. We've also added lots more validation (when online) as well as user interface enhancements to help prevent you doing crazy things that is allowed in the resulting XML but you would never want to do in real life. We've also added Global List support. Our next release is next week where we will be rounding out more corners specifically around Global List support as well as Work Item Type field level support (not to mention making it look nicer - adding the missing Menu features, etc). You can get it from the GDN Workspace or from our web site... http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/releases/viewuploads.aspx?id=812a68af-5e74-48c6-9623-1a4469142a84 http://www.imaginets.com/Default.aspx?tabid=133 Note, I have completely opened up membership to the GDN Workspace... I kept running out of memberships to give out...
Get Ready Edmonton and Victoria...
.. because you are about to get rocked!!! The Visual Studio launch is hitting those cities on November 15th (Edmonton) and 17th (Victoria). I've been zip zagging across this tiny planet (literally) for the past year and haven't spend much time in Canada. Because of this I'm really stoked to say that I'm co-presenting along with the LEGENDARY John Bristowe who decided to take a ride on the wild side and go work for Microsoft Canada. John has recently delivered the launch event in Toronto and Ottawa - and let me tell ya - the man is on fire!!! I only guarantee two things. You will learn - and you will be entertained!!!
Visual Studio Launch and What it Means to Me
I've been playing this Software Development game for almost 15 years now yet I can't deny that I still get excited about new technology. This is the week of the Visual Studio 2005 Launch (along with its close cousins SQL Server and BizTalk 2006). I've been working with these products for more than a year now – traveling all over the world educating customers and helping them understand how these products can be adopted and leveraged in their world. Some customers simply can't wait for the next version of SQL Server; others believe Team System will be extremely valuable to their organization. If there is one thing I've found over the last year+ is that every customer truly has distinct and specific needs.
What do all of these new products mean to me? Well, for me these new products signify a new opportunity to innovate and grow. They symbolize another jump start on the global economy of software engineering and that excites me. On that note, I thought I would take this time to highlight some of the product features that I'm really pumped about. If you are attending any launch activities around the world you will undoubtedly see most of these:
NOTE: the following aren't all the new features of the products, simply the features that stand out in my mind.
- Team System: A new collaborative platform that provides us with the opportunity of truly focusing on the quality of our software and the processes we use to construct it. Specifically my favorite parts of Team System are:
- Team Foundation Work Items
- Team Foundation Team Build
- Team Foundation The Team System Data Warehouse and Reporting Services
- Team Foundation Process Templates (powered by my Process Template Editing software of course)
- Team Foundation Source Control (a must have in my opinion)
- VSTS for Software Testers: Load Testing
- VSTS for Software Testers: Web Testing
- VSTS for Software Developers: Unit Test and Code Coverage
- XML Data Types
- Try Catch Error Handling
- Common Table Expressions
- Native Support for Web Services
- Stored Procs as Managed Code (even though I think this can be dangerous)
- BizTalk
- WAY easier installation and initial configuration
- Much better Orchestration experience
- Better MOM Support
- HUGE Business Activity Monitoring Improvements (this stuff makes me warm and crazy inside)
- "WOW" style performance and scalability improvements
- Lots more operational and management features
- ASP.NET (I'm not a web developer, but using ASP.NET 2.0 makes me want to be one)
- Master Pages
- New data controls
- Membership, role management, and login controls (it couldn't get much easier)
- Amazing profile support
- Site maps
- Smart Clients
- Amazing improvements to VSTO
- Click Once
- Very cool designer support
- Language and Framework upgrades
- There are too many to list (My, Partial Types, and the list goes on)
For those out there who have been working with the Alphas and the Betas of these products you are probably as excited as I am about all of this. For those of you who are just getting into this new stuff – take a deep breath – because, here it comes!
See you at the launch activities.
VSTS Process Template Editor - October 31 Release
Visual Studio Team System Process Template Editor – October 31 Release
Version 0.5.2131.27160
As promised, here is the October 31 release of the Process Template Editor. The focus was on way more validation of the resulting templates
- WAY more validation for the Process Template and the Work Items
- Ability to work Online for even further validation
- Work Item Conditional Rules
We're still working on fine tuning many of the features including:
- Online WorkItem Editing
- SharePoint definition
- Better Work Item Form rendering
- Type Definition
- Initial Work Items
- Icons
- Work Item Query Editing
- Global List Management (online and template files)
Let me know if you have any problems.

It's that time of year when we can begin to lazily offer a GIF as a representation of a player or team's season. Take, for instance, the body language of Ricky Romero here to describe the left hander's disastrous 2012 campaign, or the self-serving approach of this Marlins fan as a portrayal of Jeffrey Loria.
Please allow Starlin Castro to exhibit his slide from a .307/.341/.432 2011 triple slash line to today's .283/.321/.431 totals and title of the National League leader in errors committed in GIF form. This is Stumblin' Castro.

It is fitting that on the day we arrived in Italy to drive the latest offering from Ferrari, Michael Schumacher took the checkered flag in the French Grand Prix at Magny Cours, bringing Ferrari's star driver his fifth FIA Formula One Drivers' World Championship and moving Ferrari closer to a fourth consecutive constructors' title.
Racing is, after all, the foundation upon which the temple of Ferrari is built. To own a Ferrari is to bask in some of the reflected glory of the company's racing heritage. In recent times, the Ferrari road cars that can most legitimately claim some of that glory for themselves are the "special series" cars, uncompromising sports cars utilizing the most advanced technology for ultimate performance.
F50, F40, 288GTO--these cars, more than any others, reinforce the storied Italian auto-maker's rich tradition of turning out road cars that are tantalizingly close to its competition cars. They are produced only every few years, in tiny batches, and each one is an event. With the turn of the century and Ferrari's return to prominence in Formula 1, it's time for another in this grand sequence, the Enzo Ferrari.
The what? The Ferrari Enzo Ferrari? Or just the Enzo Ferrari? With characteristic Italian clarity, the press kit explains: "The car is called the Enzo Ferrari, but it will be referred to simply as the Enzo."
"After I celebrated Maranello [with the 550 Maranello] and I celebrated Modena [with the 360 Modena], I was really looking for a way to celebrate Enzo Ferrari," explains Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo. Clearly, the founder's presence is still strongly felt fourteen years after his death at age ninety. We see the Enzo for the first time in a courtyard, behind which is a brilliant white stucco farmhouse with Ferrari-red shutters. Inside, Enzo Ferrari's first-floor corner office is preserved almost exactly as it was at the time of his death. There's the simple laminate desk, with a closed-circuit television to one side, which showed the Fiorano pit area. There are the low-slung brown leather sofas flanking the fireplace, in front of which was always a TV where Enzo watched races. The walls are adorned with large black-and-white photos marking great moments in Ferrari's competition history: Daytona 1967, when Ferrari took first-second-third; the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona with Lauda and Regazzoni; the Nrburgring with Fangio in 1956, the year he won the world championship for Ferrari; a 125S in Ferrari's first race in 1947.
Enzo Ferrari's passion for Formula 1 explains why this car should bear his (full) name. It is, in Montezemolo's words, "very close to Formula 1 in idea, in concept, and a little bit even in design."
That design was done by Pininfarina, with a directive to "do something outside the crowd." We'd say that goal was achieved, although you'll notice Montezemolo didn't say anything about doing something beautiful. But we can attest that in person the car is exotic and striking--you appreciate it more as a machine than as a work of art. The Enzo comes in red or yellow livery, although in the factory we also saw a particularly sinister-looking one in black, a color that may be added to the palette.
Another part of Montezemolo's design directive was "no showy wings," which necessarily placed additional importance on aerodynamics. Besides going wingless, a functional goal was to have increased downforce at medium to high speed (about 140 mph), so, for example, the Enzo could take a bend at 143 mph that the F50 could do only at 137 mph. This was to be done while preserving a top speed of at least 217 mph.

Hello , I have this saw and during storage (5-8 months) it loses half the oil and has from its tanks. Is this normal? I usually top off both tanks before storage. When I check it before using it, they are about half empty. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used to have the same problem until a person that logs for a living told me to lay them on their side with the oil and gas cap facing up and loose. Works for me. |
Yea, that figures it would work that way. It must be leaking from the caps. The problem is the case the saw came with keeps it in the upright 'correct' position. Whatever, its a Poulan. |

Anvil Picked for AC/DC Concerts
Canadian rockers Anvil, who spent years in obscurity before a film about their struggle became a hit, have been chosen as the support act for AC/DC.
The band will be the sole secondary act for the rock giants at two stadium concerts in the US next month. Their dogged determination to succeed was captured in rockumentary The Story of Anvil, a film festival hit.
The band has played a series of concerts across the US, and will play at the Download Festival this weekend. Anvil is due to return to the US after its visit to the UK with performances at the three-day Rocklahoma Festival next month.
The band is due to share the bill with rock acts including Anthrax and Twisted Sister. The DVD release of the Anvil documentary has been brought forward three months, while their next album - the 13th in their career - is set to come out later in the summer.
The band, who formed in Toronto some 30 years ago, failed to gain commercial success. But bands including Metallica and Motorhead cite them as an influence, and famous faces including actor Keanu Reeves and Coldplay's Chris Martin count themselves as fans.
The two concerts supporting AC/DC will take place at the Gillette Stadium in Boston on 28th July and New Jersey's Giants Stadium three days later.

Apr 28th 2011 3:47PM Q for the Q:
Do you think Blizzard will ever make an in-game item that would allow for the taming of critters into non-combat pets? I think it would be extremely cool if we could tame our own companion pets. They could even have several achievements in the vein of "To All the Squirrels I've Loved Before" and the like.

Yes, I Ice Lanced him into the sweet icy oblivion he was clearly asking for, but you cannot allow this kind of unabashed Warlockery go unpunished!
As a fellow mage, I DEMAND SATISFACTION!
Breakfast Topic: What's your favorite ability in WoW? {WoW}
Mar 9th 2011 10:36AM I was a misguided NE druid in my first week of playing WoW (now a Tauren. FOR THE HORDE!) and I was leveling in Westfall. I was minding my own business grinding through gnolls for a quest and I didn't even notice the priest come sauntering along. All of the sudden one of the gnolls In the pack I was headed for was struck by a gorgeous bolt of yellow lightning.
What?! That was SICK!!
To this day Holy Fire is still my favorite spell animation.
Breakfast Topic: Do character naming schemes help you or confuse you? {WoW}
Feb 19th 2011 11:15AM As an avid altohlolic, I find making up original, clever names for my alts to be the best part of starting over again. I try to avoid using the same combinations again and again. Instead I try to come up with original ideas for each new toon.
Sometimes compound words that aren't immediately recognizable as compund words.
Tauren Resto Druid = Oakenox. Warlock = Savantic. Female Fire Mage = Pyrotica
Sometimes a play on words just fits the race/class combo so well it simply must be used.
Undead Rogue = Blakstabbeth
And then there's the times that random TV shows lead to inspiration. I was watching a show about people who wake up at night and are still unable to move due to their brain still believing it's asleep. They stated that the Japanese term for this condition is Kanashibari. It means "bound in metal". It's also perfect for a Female Pally.

Feb 6th 2011 2:55PM It seems the gear you get from the goodie bags is only tailored to your armor type and the jewelry is all random. All my mage got last night were rings for melee classes. I've also gotten many neck pieces itemized for melee, dps and tanking.
True, I never got any leather, mail or plate gear, but those rings and necks are completely useless on cloth wearers.

I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child has grown. The dream is gone.
And I have become comfortably numb."

Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Fruit' Vieilles Vignes Sylvaner 2005
33 - 70-year old vines, two hectares of it. Lovely peach down and apple skin fruit. Delicate floral notes. The palate has a bit of real concentration, with a grippy note and a forceful character, with really nice fruit through a solidly packed mid palate with lemon skin and orange zest acidity in the finish. Delicious.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Fruit' Pinot Blanc 2005
Barrique fermented and aged 50/50 Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, in 10 per cent new oak. Oak is not too dominant, adding a little fat perhaps to very clean, crisp orchard fruits. The palate is dry and savoury, with clean, pure very mouthfilling but precise fruit character. Some spice comes through, in a lovely, rich wine with lovely balance.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Fruit' Pinot Gris 2004
25% new oak in a barrel-fermented and aged wine. Rich plummy, pear skin fruit with a depth and little smoothing overlay of vanilla. On the palate this has a rich, full texture and a certain creaminess, with fat textured pear and melon fruit, and a serious core of mineral and lime concentrated acidity.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Stone' Pinot Gris Zellberg 2004
40% new oak. Similar nose, with apple and pear skin qualities, and a certain waxy richness. Again, the oak influence is not overpowering. Lovely sense of sweetness of fruit, with a rich, rounded quite spicy character. Chalky, clay and sandstone character. 11 months in oak.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Stone' Heissenberg Riesling 2004
All stainless steel, the vineyard name means 'hot mountain'. Lovely lime and blossom-scented wine, with very pure, quite fat and ripe apple fruit. On the palate the purity and beautiful limpidity comes through. The acid is very mineral and has a pith lemon zest life about it. Lovely length and minerality.
Domaine Ostertag (France) "Stone" Muenchberg Grand Cru Riesling 2004
Lovely yellow colour. This has a glorious nose, with very fine Riesling character, with some herbal and nutty apple notes, a twist of citrus and a fine stony minerality. On the palate it has some richness and fat in the texture, with wonderfully ripe, almost tropical fruit notes, and a searing core of beautifully generous but firm and precise acidity. This has wonderful structure and wonderful complexity with sweet layers, wonderful juiciness and a lovely sour edge of grapefruit and underripe plum or greengage. Fabulous.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Temps' Muenchberg Grand Cru VT 2004
Picked only eight days later than the wine above in this vintage. There is fine honey and lemon lusciousness, very thick and limpid, with fantastic honeyed ripeness.
Domaine Ostertag (France) 'Temps' Gewürztraminer Frohholz VT 2004
Brilliant nose (picked third week November) with huge luscious, honeyed ripeness, but not masking the spice and lychee flavour of the Gewurz. Terrific quality. The palate is beautifully rich and ripe, with scintillating balance and precision to the flavours, with floral, spice and lychee and guava fruit, and beautiful definition of grapefruit flavour and acidity.

Professor Lynn Branham Serves SLU Spirit in Kenya
Going on a mission trip was nothing new for Professor Lynn Branham. "I've rolled up my sleeves to help people in my own country, including those considered the least of the least – prisoners," she said. But when she headed to Africa for the first time this summer, as one would expect, her experience was unlike any other she had been on. "I never served in a place where I had to use a bucket each day to bathe. And I've never served in a place where such generosity was the order of the day."
The story of how Branham, a visiting professor at SLU LAW since 2007, made her way to Kenya began in 2005. Her vacation didn't coincide with her family's, so she decided to treat herself to a three-day retreat. While originally envisioning somewhere with mud baths and massages, she discovered places offering spiritual retreats and ended up at a convent in northern Indiana.
Since then she has regularly attended private retreats there. When a nun friend at the convent told her about an orphanage in Mitingu, Kenya, she was emotionally drawn into its story. Sister Germaine, an 84-year-old "dynamo," as Branham describes her, from the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, founded the Caring Place orphanage 10 years ago, pulling homeless children off the streets into her shelter and care. Two years ago, she had to leave the country due to her health.
Looking at her busy schedule and the money needed to put her children through college, Branham never thought it'd be possible to travel there to serve.
"Then, with Lent approaching, I reflected on what I should give for my Lenten alms," she recalled. "The thought that cropped into my head was to escort Sister Germaine to the orphanage."
Branham called Sister Germaine, whom she had never met, and broached the idea with her. "To say she was ecstatic doesn't capture her response. I later learned that she had asked five times to return to Kenya, and her request had been denied. And I was told that if I hadn't offered to go with her to Kenya, she would not have been permitted to visit 'her boys,' whom she hadn't seen for two years."
In July Branham and Sister Germaine headed to Kenya, where Branham was able to see first-hand the mission and purpose of the orphanage. One of the highlights of each day was spending time with the kids after school.
"The material deprivations endured by the people living in this rural region of Kenya are stunning. The Catholic primary school, which has 300 students, has no running water. The mosquito nets that could stave off the rampant malaria are largely absent. The toothless smiles of people confirm not only their friendliness, but the palpable lack of dental care. The children attend school six days a week, but books are a luxury. One of the treasures in the school's 'library' is a set of encyclopedias. It was published in the 1960s. This long list of deprivations, including suffering endured stoically at a hospital bereft of basic equipment, goes on...and on...and on.
"I would be remiss, though, if I failed to mention what I also observed in the bush country of Kenya: unparalleled joy. The people of Kenya whom I met live faith-filled lives of simplicity. Though I served a bit as a teacher at the primary school, these people were my teacher. They impressed upon me that the mission field is not just Africa. It is America."

If there were a design award for packaging, CM Storm would get it for this panel. I mean, what is cooler than a mouse on fire? I am sure this will get your attention on the shelf. Both Cooler Master and CM Storm, along with the Havoc name and DPI abilities are all placed around an image of the Havoc from the top down, and the rest of the panel is flat black for high contrast.
The front panel is held on with Velcro, and once opened will show you features about the Havoc on the left. On the right side you get a clear view of the mouse you are buying, and again you can see the bit about this being a professional gaming mouse and the DPI scale.
The right side of the packaging continues to carry part of the red and grey logo from the front. Off to the left of it though you will find the Storm Tactics of Strength, Security and Control.
On the back there is another splash of red and grey, but the majority of this panel is dedicated to the features, and a brief description is given along with each of the features listed. At the bottom is regional information for addressed and site information for those in need of support.
The last panel of the packaging repeats the same information down the panel in 21 languages, before it shows the Windows support and various OS's that this will run with at the bottom.
Getting much closer to see just what Cooler Master was explaining in the last image, you can see that they inform buyers that this is a gaming mouse, the Havoc, and where to go for more information about the Havoc before purchasing one.
The inner packaging is a two piece plastic shell. There is one for the top that also adds the side supports that are taller than the mouse to take any impacts first and protect the mouse in the middle. The lower section fits into the bottom and has a bit of room for the cord. The red color in the middle is just a paper board insert to give the product some flash and hide the wiring and paperwork from view.

There are many books on helping boys grow up emotionally healthy. Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men (Rodale, $24.95), by Peggy F. Drexler, Ph.D., with Linden Gross, is the newest book on the shelf. The twist is it's a study on boys being raised by either single moms by choice or lesbian pairs. Dr. Drexler, assistant professor of psychology in psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and a former gender scholar at Stanford University, is a mother of two, married, and lives in Manhattan.
"This idea began as my doctoral thesis. In 1996, I recruited 16 boys being raised in traditional families and 16 boys being raised without men in the household. I wasn't sure how I would be received by these women whom I now call 'maverick moms', but they were enormously receptive. They consider themselves pioneers and they all wanted information on how they're doing. I got no resistance from the women or the boys."
Dr. Drexler hopes that her findings, which are expanded on in her book, will be informative and comforting to all-female-headed households and equally helpful to traditional mom-and-dad families. She concludes that some sons from single- and two-mom families are growing up emotionally stronger and more empathetic, independent-minded, and well-rounded than boys from some "traditional" two-parent families.
She found from her study, for example, that the sons of lesbians and single-by-choice moms tend to be more empathetic towards others, as well as more aware of the good and bad feelings within themselves. She reports that this emotional well-being stems from a childhood of openly sharing and discussing feelings, without flinching and without cover-up.
Dr. Drexler says, "These boys are in no way isolated from male role models. These role models may be an uncle, another family member, a pediatrician, a neighbor, a babysitter, or sports heroes. But the boys are very in tune to these choices. They will reject models that they find not appropriate."
Another point Dr. Drexler stresses is that boys being raised by lesbian parents are seemingly more aware of environmental concerns, more thoughtful about settling arguments with words, not violence, and more polite overall.
In the chapter titled 'Head-and-Heart Boys', Dr. Drexler asks readers to rethink certain ideas: "As a society, we automatically worry that unorthodox family arrangements will at best confuse or alienate kids and at worst cause irreversible damage. … I found that the boys from two-parent lesbian families and the boys from single-mom families exhibited an unusually high degree of emotional savvy. Some call that emotional intelligence."
Regardless of parenting, boys will still be boys. With the help of their mothers, Dr. Drexler writes, sons raised in woman-headed homes are astonishingly deft at figuring out for themselves how to be boys. These boys have an ability to get what they need to establish a strong and resilient sense of their own masculinity.
Early on, the author explains that, "The boys in my study were not sissies or mama's boys. Nor did they compensate for the lack of a father figure by becoming overly aggressive. Other studies have shown that sons raised in lesbian households are no more likely to become homosexual than they would if raised in heterosexual families.
"What I really want to stress is that good parenting goes beyond gender. Parenting is either good or deficient. Parenting isn't 'male' or 'female'. We have to let go of the 'ideal' or gold standard of the family unit. That's changing. I'm saying that whatever your situation is, a woman can raise a well-adjusted boy."
Dr. Drexler plans to continue to follow the lives and lifestyles of the boys in her study. "I got to know these boys when they were between 5 and 9 years old," she says. "I will stay in touch with them and their moms as they reach adolescence and enter high school. There will be a whole new atmosphere there, and there will be new issues for these boys to deal with. I want to know how they handle those issues." Dr. Drexler also plans to conduct a similar study of girls being raised by men.

I have had mine going for five weeks now and am ready to rack. Should I add the five c tabs? How long can I bulk store till it needs bottled? How long will it keep once bottled. Thanks Mike
If you are referring to skeeter pee, then you should be able to bulk store a while in a glass container. It is approximately 10% alcohol if you followed Lon's recipe, so it should be stable for quite some time once bottled. As for the additions to stop fermentation, follow the instruction in the recipe and you will be fine. Relevant portion:Allow the Pee to ferment dry and for fermentation to stop (SG between 0.998 and 0.995). Rack into a clean, sanitized carboy. Give the batch a quick degas (use agitation and vacuum if you have the equipment). Add 1/2 tsp Kmeta, 2 1/2 tsp sorbate, and Sparkolliod (follow directions on the package). After two weeks, the Skeeter Pee should be crystal clear. Rack into a clean, sanitized carboy, add 6 cups sugar, and stir to dissolve. Wait two weeks to be sure no new fermentation begins and bottle. Good Luck, Cody
Thanks I racked into a clean carboy and added the sorbate and kmeta. I will wait for it to clear on it's own. One question I ran into is when I racked I needed a little less than a half gallon to top off. Is that too much to top with plain water? Hydrometer read 0999 on the money. Tasted the test sample and itis just a shade sour but a couple teaspoons of sugar and two ice cubes made it pretty nice. Thinking about maybe doing part of it with a koolade berry of some sort. I can already see the carboy getting a repeat of this stuff. Mike
I don't top mine off when it is like yours. The lemon doesn't oxidize as fast as some other juices, and I like to leave room for the sugar addition when it is time to sweeten before bottling.
Cheers, Lonwww.skeeterpee.com Visit Skeeter Pee on facebook and click the like button
I flavored two gallons of mine with black cheery kool aid and it turned out great
Thanks for the help I topped off so it wil be a little weaker on the sour and the alcohol. Next time I will know not to. The black cherry sounds like it would be an easy drinker. I know there will be another batch going when this gets under corks. Mike

* Just Announced: Opening act is Chicano Batman. Chicano Batman is your sonic outlet from the monotonous back into the soul. Ethnomusicologists in their own right, they are students of rhythm, globe trotting on a quest to reclaim and represent the musical roots of their past generations. Drawing from a broad range of 60s and early 70s Brazilian bossa nova and samba, spacey psychedelia, slow-jam soul with a pinch of surf-rock cumbia, the quartet uniforms their act in retro ruffled-tuxedo shirts from a thrift store near you. Chicano Batman is more than a musical force but an adventurous and opinionated superhero who feeds off of community, afro-centricity and bolillos, on a mission to bring the overlooked to the forefront.

Help supply future mariners
Would you like to see your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews develop a love for ships and the sea? Maybe learn how to sail? Help rebuild an antique marine diesel engine? Or possibly join the Sea Scouts and learn seamanship, navigation and how to work well with others?
Yes you say? There's a way for you to help out and it won't cost you a cent.
I've been attending a lot of meetings and conferences this year that focused on the topic of maritime history and experiential learning. So over the last few weeks I've arrived at an undeniable conclusion: Our current way of life, and the seamanship practices of our predecessors will soon be completely forgotten unless the money starts rolling in.
Our maritime skills, culture and history are important.
Don't get me wrong. I think modern technology in the maritime industry is not only fascinating, but it's also absolutely invaluable. Hell, if I were 10 years younger I'd be going to school to become a DP operator or a captain of Z-drive tugs, and not solely for the money. We have some seriously awesome tools to work with in this industry.
We are part of a rich and ever-changing maritime culture here in the U.S. There was a time when local economies and social life was dictated by the comings and goings of ships. Today, the majority of U.S. citizens barely know that ports and mariners exist until something pops up in the news (usually accidents and deaths). Modern consumers are completely disconnected from how they get their goods, yet the shipping business continues to be a necessity for our modern way of life. We need to remind people of the bigger picture, the importance of shipping, where it all started and where it's going. Most importantly, we need to educate people that it's a lucrative and exciting career for the younger generations to pursue.
But let's get back to the money. I know that everyone needs it right now. Still, corporations make donations, be it for good PR or tax deductions or simply for good will toward others. A lot of them donate to organizations whose existence they may benefit from. This is simply good business. If your company helps support an organization that brings a love for all things maritime to youth ashore, many of these young people will eventually pursue jobs in the workboat industry.
It's not you and me that should be donating money to our favorite maritime preservation organizations (though it wouldn't hurt). But in order for these groups to survive and thrive, they have to be connected with money and the people that can find the money.
Find a program in your region that supports youth and families getting out on the water, and teaches them the basics of seamanship and navigation. Or maybe you have a favorite maritime museum. Next, email the people in charge of corporate charity donations and sing the praises of your preferred organization.
Whether you love them or not, each maritime company is like a family, and families work best when everyone is happy. Let them know that it's important to you to see current and retired mariners valued for their skills and time in service, and that we can only create a culture of mariner appreciation by supporting our community's efforts to preserve maritime history and teach seamanship to our youth.
Most Americans, especially our youth, don't realize that the start of a regular workday could mean stepping into the wheelhouse of a giant ship in the middle of the ocean or a tug towing a barge.
I recently heard a mariner say that youth today are only interested in video games and Facebook. But many of today's youth have brilliant, underused minds. They either don't know what opportunities are out there, or haven't had an inspiring hands-on experience to spark their interest. By supporting local groups that specialize in this will open up a whole new world to thousands of directionless young adults.
Robert & David, these sound like excellent opportunities. Robert is your offer still available? Where are you located? I might be able to help send some students your way.
I own a USCG Approved School and recently offered my school district free new hire training. Their response...not interested because it has nothing to do with coillege
I am on the Steering Committee of the Teaching With Small Boats Alliance. TWSBA represents and promotes the interests of approximately sixty organizations that provide hands-on experience with boats and boatbuilding on waterfronts around the United States and beyond. These organizations provide a range of opportunities and can serve as pathways to bigger opportunities. Volunteers, often from the maritime field, mentor students and can introduce them to career opportunities. You can learn more about TWSBA at www.teachingwithsmallboats.org Please support TWSBA and your local waterfront organization. Thanks. David A. Helgerson Technical Director CSC Advanced Marine Center Washington DC

READ THE REST »Cold, dry winter winds can remove moisture from plant tissue very quickly. Newly planted plants are especially susceptible to drying out. Dig a few inches into the soil around them and if the soil is dry, water them. During periods of cold, make sure your shrubs and trees have adequate moisture. You may have to water your shrubs and tree during predicted col temperatures to protect roots. Cold temperatures can damage roots that are in dry soil. Also, watering just before a cold snap will help plants survive bitter temperatures. Houseplants do not need as much water during the winter months as they do in the summer. It is a good idea to reduce your watering schedule and use little or no fertilizer as houseplants rest during the short days of winter and become semi-dormant. Your houseplants will ne ready for vigorous new growth in the comin spring. If you have a houseplants inside next to a window, make sur you give them extra care on cold nights. The cold temperature on the windowpanes can damage tender leaves and flowers. Pull your plants away from the glass or close curtains and blinds at night.
READ THE REST »Continue to order garden seed. When ordering annual seeds be sure to try a few varieties alongside your tried-and-true varieties. Experimenting is fun and the new varieties might work out. If you are planning to sew spring cole crops in the piedmont and coastal areas plan to have them in the ground by the end of the month. Grow cold-tolerant leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and collards. Some may be killed by frost, but it's worth having fresh greens for salads. Also, try planting greens with pansies for a pretty winter salad garden. You can also begin to prepare your vegetable garden for this year by adding compost and working into the soil. Asparagus crowns can be planted this month once the soil is dry enough to work. Beets, carrots, lettuce, mustard, radish, Irish potatoes and turnips in early February. This month you want to prune muscadine grapes. The warm weather may cause the sap to drip but it won't hurt the grape vine. Bunch grapes can also be pruned now or in February. In the piedmont and coastal areas, start pruning peaches and plums. February would work as well but you need to prune before they bloom. In the mountains, do not prune peaches and plum until March.
READ THE REST »Pine voles cause extensive damage to landscape plants in the winter. For infomation on managing voles see wildlife damage notes. Remove and destroy bagworms or tent caterpillars before they hatch in the spring. See management strategies. Scout for winter weeds growing in the lawn and control them now before they go to seed.
