December 20, 2014 - I drink very seldom Port, but I do like it. Specially in winter or autumn nights. This is delicious, smooth, not overly sweet. Nice structure, quite big tannins, and some accidity. J`aime!

September 19, 2013 - Port always lasts forever at my place. I love it but don't often have it, and when I do the portions are small. But I love it, and this is an excellent Port. It's raisin-y, with some dark fruit and a little licorice as well. Velvety smooth, long finish, round and full. Delicious. Of course it's great with chocolate, but this one can be enjoyed thoroughly all by itself. Best Port I've had for under $25. Will restock! 90-91 pts.

Bugzilla – Bug 5279
Hang during activation
Last modified: 2008-08-11 15:19:39
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Background: In some thread implementations, pthread_once functions execute in a separate thread from the one that called it. Some GSSAPI functions call pthread_once to ensure that the GLOBUS_GSI_GSSAPI_MODULE is activated before doing their processing. The globus_module_activate function uses a recursive mutex so that it can keep track of dependencies between modules when doing deactivation. If a module (from it's activation function) calls a gssapi function, the application can deadlock. The threads deadlock like this: Thread 1: activate (lock module activation lock) gss_* pthread_once ---- Thread 2: once_function globus_module_activate: attempt to lock module activation lock This will only happen if the gss function is the first one which attempts to use the pthread_once control in GSSAPI.

According to a report from the Alzheimer's Association, women 60 years and older have a one in six chance of contracting Alzheimer's in their lifetime. They are also twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as compared with breast cancer.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/19/2014 (10 months ago)
Published in Health
Keywords: Alzheimer's, gender disparity, cancer, figures, report
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Men, by comparison, have a 1 in 11 chance of getting Alzheimer's, according to the 2014 Facts and Figures report.
Age has always been the greatest risk factor for gender differences among Alzheimer's patients. However, it's not the only reason. According to Maria Carrillo, vice president of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association, researchers are also looking at genetic and hormonal differences.
Prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
The disease affects more than five million Americans, two-thirds of them women. A survey of more than 3,000 women commissioned by the Alzheimer's Association shared the new details about this disease and its impact on women.
While two well-established risk factors for Alzheimer's are genetics and aging, "there is hope that adopting healthy brain life habits might delay or prevent the appearance of Alzheimer's disease," the association says.
Among doctor recommended suggestions is to stay physically active to maintain good blood flow to the brain and encourage new brain cells. Women should also eat a "brain-healthy diet" low in fat and cholesterol.
It's also highly important to stay social to reduce stress levels and maintain healthy brain cell connections. More importantly, stay mentally active to strengthen brain cells and the connections between them.
Women are also disproportionately affected when it comes to caring for people with Alzheimer's. Sixty percent of caregivers are women and the care they give is more intense physically and emotionally.
Women are also more likely to provide round-the-clock care, including feeding, clothing and diapering. The average length of time an Alzheimer's patient requires 24-hour care is four to seven years, but could be as long as 20 years. The cost of Alzheimer's care is estimated to be $214 billion for this year alone.
"We wish we had expensive treatments to brag about, but we don't, so it's important to highlight that research funding and research commitments are critical for us to change that balance," Carrillo says.
Carrillo hopes she'll be talking about the cost of treatments rather than the cost of care. Mortality rates for other diseases, like breast cancer, are dropping, but the rate of Alzheimer's deaths is on the rise.

While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have gone to the court to stop the publication of the topless pictures of Kate Middleton, the royal couple was welcomed by topless women from the Solomen Islands before they travel by boat to Tavanipupu, which is a part of the couple's Diamond Jubilee tour of South East Asia.

But the Duchess did her best to maintain her composure as she negotiated the highly awkward moment. The Rotal coupel were welcomed to the village of Marau by a group of topless women draped in the Island's traditional outfit. The couple was presented with garlands to wear during the visit.

"Also, "user-generated" implies that they do not intend to compensate their posters and increasingly, we have found, along with HuffPo, Mashable and others, that having quality content on a sustainable basis means you may have to pay for it."
Spot on. Content curation is an effective marketing strategy, but only when the content is high quality. That means brands must either invest resources in talented and knowledgeable writers, researchers and journalists, or invest a big chunk of time into building community. Maybe LinkedIn's latest dip in value was a catalyst? Thanks very much for your comment!
Thanks for the comment! I think LinkedIn is taking a calculated risk; the network has plenty of members who use it to discover and share content, but it's not as widely used as something like Twitter or Facebook. If LinkedIn can keep more eyeballs on its pages by inviting them to contribute, it could really blow up.

The Pirate Bay Puts Bit Torrent on Facebook
- By Eliot Van Buskirk
- 03.30.09
Bit torrent tracker site The Pirate Bay extended tendrils into Facebook as it awaits the verdict of its copyright infringement
A new link showed up on The Pirate Bay search results over the weekend called "Share on Facebook," as
reported. By clicking the link, users can share torrent tracker links — often used to download large music and movie files via the bit torrent protocol — via Facebook, by either posting it on their profile pages or sending the link to friends using Facebook's private messaging feature.
3/30 Update:
Facebook tells us, "We are looking into this and have contacted the developer, but have not taken any specific action." 5/7 Update:
Facebook later started blocking The Pirate Bay's torrent links, to the dismay of legal experts.
Clearly, many Facebook users will think twice about posting public links to copyrighted content without permission on their profile pages.
But as a way of thumbing its nose at the establishment once again while enabling quick and easy private file sharing between Facebook friends, the Pirate Bay's Facebook integration is quite effective.
It could also have the possibly unintended side effect of increasing legitimate use of The Pirate Bay and the bit torrent protocol. For instance, bands could use the new feature to distribute music videos to fans via Facebook, without paying any hosting costs.
Here's how it works. After searching for a file on The Pirate Bay and clicking the "Share" link pictured above, I can choose whether to share the torrent link with all my contacts or just specific ones:
The bit torrent link shows up as a "shared link" on my profile page.
Anyone with a bit torrent client installed can download the file from strangers around the world by clicking the link:
Anyone with a bit torrent client installed can download the file from strangers around the world by clicking the link:
This really couldn't be much simpler. Sharing a Pirate Bay torrent tracker link via Facebook takes three mouse clicks the first time you do it, and two clicks thereafter.
We've asked Facebook whether it has any comment on The Pirate Bay's integration with its social network, and whether it plans to to take any action to take the links down, and hope to post a response soon.

Review for: CSA Shares 2014 Season
from: Winding Road Farm
Winding Road Farm Rocks
By: Patricia Harris (Feb 16, 2012)
I would recommend the Winding Road Farms CSA to anyone. I love that in the summer I have fresh produce picked and delivered usually within 24 hours. I have gardened on my own for many years and cannot replicate the quality of produce I have received. Subscribing is a win-win situation. We receive fresh, high-quality produce and support the local farmers at the same time. We have also had good luck with communication and reliable deliveries for three straight years!

As others see it: Bridge collapse is wake-up call
The bridge collapse (May 23) in Washington state serves as a stark reminder that our nation's aging transportation infrastructure is approaching a critical point.
... Though much less serious, the situation is eerily reminiscent of the 2007 Interstate 35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis, which killed 13 people and injured more than 140 when it buckled and collapsed during rush hour.

Armin Mühsam Armin Mühsam's charcoal "Box Drawing" series has a mysterious, unfinished quality, thanks to roughed-in elements that are selectively completed. It's as though portions of the page have been brought into focus by a lens. Lacking backgrounds or true perspective, the bold lines and simple compositions intrigue without satisfying. Elsewhere, Mühsam's paintings include imagined landscapes built up from simple architectural forms. His stylized and deliberately architectural topologies, precisely rendered, contrast with the twitchy brushwork of exciting, impressionistic backgrounds — rolling plains and big, Midwestern skies dominate the machined smoothness of seemingly abandoned architectural forms. "Composition 5," an acrylic painting of a rectilinear industrial structure, and "Composition 7," a delicately rendered highway overpass, are outstanding variations on this theme. Mühsam's style also finds expression in the translucence of watercolor; indeed, with his "Watercolor on Grid Paper Series," ghostly penciled graphs (of precipitation per day over a crop year, apparently) are visible through characteristic juxtapositions of organic brushwork and fabricated precision. Through June 15 at the Mallin Gallery, 201 Wyandotte, 816-421-5222. (Chris Packham)
Picturing Artists: Photographs by Dan Budnik Beautiful art is sublime; art about art is an indulgence. This exhibition is a sublime indulgence: a collection of photographer Dan Budnik's dye-transfer photographic prints from the 1950s through the early '70s, starring some of the greatest artists to live in New York during that time. The Kemper pairs each of Budnik's shots with an original work by the portrayed artist. His picture of Robert Rauschenberg (looking directly at the camera, holding a car door) is accompanied by Rauschenberg's sizable mixed-media painting "Seminole Host." Budnik caught Willem de Kooning in action before a canvas in a far corner of his studio, with the floor covered by other unfinished paintings; next to this photo is de Kooning's "Untitled (Woman)." Other artists who met Budnik's camera: Roy Lichtenstein, Peter Krasnow and Jasper Johns. What they have in common is the intensity of their gazes. Through July 8 at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, 4420 Warwick, 816-753-5784. (Santiago Ramos)

Ratings & Reviews
Tracey did an excellent job. She was very accommodating and helpful. She answered all of our questions and was very knowledgable. She went above and beyond to help us find our home. We would definently reccomend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.
My wife and I contacted Tracey Ayers to show us houses in the Greenville NC area. After the first day we had not found anything we liked. Tracey asked more questions to try and redefine our search. The second day we found the home we wanted to buy. Tracey got our wish list and was able to negotiate almost all our wants. As we were getting ready to close the deal. family matter came up in NY and so for now we are unable to purchase the house. We would highly recommend Tracey she will do great by anyone who chooses to work with her. We will continue to work with her as our situation changes in NY.
She never called me back or in anyway tried to contact me on this property. I ended up contacting another agent and went through with the sale. sad for her as I hope to purchase more property for rentals in the future.
I have very high regards for Tracey's professionalism, responsiveness and willingness to meet & be available at all times. She demonstrated a great deal of knowledge about the local market, players, trends and responded to all inquiries and requests like any prospective customer would ask for. I very highly recommend Tracey and will call her next time I have any real estate needs; buying, selling, renting, etc. She is a professional and deserves to be seen and respected as such. Tracey will not let you down with your real estate needs.
Leavy Vicars
Tracey was very professional and effective. She was very helpful in checking on the property when needed, which was very much appreciated since I no longer lived in the area and could not take care of issues quickly. She even coordinated work on the property to expedite the sale. I strongly recommend Tracey for your real estate service needs.
If you never read another review - read this one! We found Tracey online through Zillow thinking, OK we will give this a try- One Word- AMAZING! Forget all the others that you will see when trying to find an agent to help. Tracey made this happen for us and we now own a fabulous home on lots of land- a dream come true for my family!- She was professional-knew her stuff and was so easy going. Even through my ridiculous questioning (I've never purchased before-was really nervous). She stayed in touch all through the process-jumped right on getting information and saw every detail through to the end. USE THIS AGENT. Tracey made a sale happen for us when others couldn't get the job done. I could go on and on but I think you have the picture...A Genuinely Great Lady! Matt & Amy McCarthy
Tracey did a fantastic job with the property management and ultimate sale of my home in Farmville. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a competent, professional realtor.
Tracey was always there to answer any questions I had. She made sure if I had owed anything to anyone that it would be paid before we closed any deal so I would not have to worry about anyone calling me for unpaid bills. She worked hard on getting the mortgage people to reduce the price so I could be able to sell my place. I will always recommend her to any and all of my friends & family.
Tracey sold our home for us. She turned every stone to find buyers in this tough market. We were very pleased with Tracey's knowledge of the market.

Town Square
Tonight: Portola Valley meets on food trucks

It's quite unclear to me why the interest of local fixed food vendors should trump the interest of regular citizens.
a resident of another community
on Aug 28, 2013 at 4:09 pm
When did town councils care about the needs of individual citizens? Why let people buy a three dollar burrito when they can get a six dollar one that will taste like cardboard? When food trucks start padding a few palms, then they will be allowed, but then they'll have to charge six dollars for a burrito. Kapeesh?
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Aug 28, 2013 at 4:17 pm
If there's a food truck that's selling burritos for $3 and is on the list for towns like Portola Valley, I'd like to know what its name is.
There is almost nothing inexpensive sold from a gourmet food truck, the kind that visit towns like Portola Valley. It's not a cheap meal. You pay through the nose for everything.
It is a different meal and it may even be a better tasting meal in general, given the pressure a food truck is under to do things rights. They do not have a captive clientele. Word probably gets around.
a resident of Portola Valley: Central Portola Valley
on Aug 28, 2013 at 4:45 pm
food trucks don't compete with parkside which is they only restaurant in the town proper. ladera restaurants don't really factor into the equation - at least they shouldn't for the town council.

Subject: | John Thomas Taylor, born Nov 11, 1844 | |

Forum URL: | http://genforum.genealogy.com/nc/rutherford/ |
John Thomas Taylor was born in Rutherford County Nov 11, 1844. In 1869 in Madison County, NC he married Lydia J. Scoggins. Lydia was born in Rutherford County and is the daughter of Joseph J. and Elvira Scoggins. They appear in the 1850 Census. There is a possibility that the Thomas Taylor in the 1850 Census in Montfords Cove with Mary, Susannah and Francis Taylor is my Great-grandfather John Thomas Taylor. The Thomas in the census is five which would be correct for one born in November 1844. I have recently received information that Mary and Susannah have children outside of marriage. Could John Thomas Taylor also be born outside of marriage? On the other hand, I have received information that my Taylor family is from five brothers who came from the British Islands. Does anyone have any record of five Taylor brothers coming from the British Islands and one of which ended up in western North Carolina by the mid 1800's? I have done a Y-DNA test and the Haplogroup is R1a1 and this does not closely match anyone in the Family Tree DNA Taylor Group. Can anyone help me with this brickwall? |

Aetheron is our first foray into card or RPG games. We've combined the two genres to create what we think is a compelling and unique game. If you like your RPGs or CCGs, then this is the game for you!
There's a long single player campaign spanning 25 levels, with lots of scope for customization and replay value. Choose from 3 classes to play, earn achievements, upgrade your cards or your gear. Find epic loot and slay dragons!
Its good!
This game is really fun but the health and energy regeneration system seems useless, I think it would be better with stronger enemies and no regeneration time.
Seems pretty good
I was enjoying it pretty well uo to level 5, but when I hit level 6, my health and energy regeneration decresed to 1 unit per 5 seconds. Is that suppose to happen?
Also, I encountered a glitch when I went from the duelling screen (from which there are apparently no 'worthy' opponents for me to fight) to the Moor in Tumblespar, I entered into a battle where I was fighting some Advanced Gaurd, I was level 30, yes 30 even though the cap is 25, but all I had was my fists, no cards, and neither I nor the enemy could attack and there was a bunch of elements flashing/cycling in the center of the screen. After that I just refreshed the page and everything was fine though.
I liked the idea of using the cards as skills rather than used as creature or iems like in most other games of this type.
Also, is it possible to sell equipment? I know how to sell cards, but I can't seem to see any button for equipment in either the store or at Home.

Cindy's Space
About Me
Heya! I'm Cindy. I'm 29 years old and married to Richard, 30. We were married April 30th, 2010! We decided to start trying for our first a couple month before our wedding, thinking it would take a while to get pregnant. Nope! I was 8 weeks pregnant with our daughter in this photo!
Our first child, Sophia Ann, was born on Thanksgiving Day (11/25/10). She's been the best thing to EVER happen to me and the greatest joy in my life!
My degree is in English Education and I taught Kindergarten before getting pregnant with my daughter, but I'm a stay at home Mommy for the next few years! I babysit a little boy my daughter's age a few days a week, which is lots of fun for both me and my daughter.
I'm so happy to be pregnant again and have my fingers crossed for a much easier pregnancy!

I'm Danielle. I'm 25 and I've been with Ed, who is also 25, since roughly October 7th 2002. There's a bit of a long story behind the start of our relationship so we don't know the day we officially became a couple but 10/7/02 was the day of our first kiss so we just go by that. We're coming up on 10 years but we've only been married since June of last year because we finally gave up on being able to afford the wedding of our dreams and just went to the local courthouse. We self officiated which means there was literally no ceremony whatsoever. I'm sad that I don't get a special day to be all fancy smancy but at least we're "officially" married. We have 3 kids already- Adam (10), Logan (nearly 6), and Xander (2.5). I miscarried between ds2 and ds3 so I was on edge in the beginning of my last pregnancy and I find that I'm a bit nervous this time too.
On a strange note, I went to highschool with my nurse at my mw/ob's office. She was thrilled to tell me to pee in a cup.
1st appt- 7/2/12
2nd appt- 8/1/12
1st u/s appt- 7/17/12 hp was 171
My BFP showed up in a fraction of a second after POAS. I was kind of shocked that the test reacted so quickly and the line was soooo dark.
I have some weight to lose so I won't be sharing bare belly shots until I actually look pregnant and not fluffy.

Hōki (伯耆町 Hōki-chō?) is a town in Saihaku District, Tottori Prefecture, Japan.
Hōki was formed on January 1, 2005 as the result of the merger of the town of Kishimoto, from Saihaku District, and the town of Mizokuchi, from Hino District.[1]
As of April 1, 2011, the town has an estimated population of 11,745 and a density of 84.2 persons per km². The total area is 139.5 square kilometres (53.9 sq mi).
Hōki is the birthplace of the photographer Shōji Ueda (1913 – 2000). The town is home to the Shōji Ueda Museum of Photography, which is dedicated to the Ueda's works.
On the west side of the train tracks just after leaving Hōki-Mizoguchi station, a very large green statue of an Oni is visible on the hill overlooking the town and the Hino River. Before the Kishimoto-Mizokuchi town merger which created Hōki, the oni was Mizokuchi's town mascot and as such is featured on manhole covers, phone booths, post boxes and even the town's highway rest stop (where the building housing the restrooms is shaped like a giant oni head).[1]
Neighboring municipalities[edit]
Hōki borders on five other municipalities, all in Tottori Prefecture.
The Hakubi Line train line of JR West from Yonago to Okayama passes through Hōki with both local and express service. There are train stops at Hōki-Mizoguchi Station as well as Kishimoto Station.
The major road through Hōki is Route 181 which winds through the mountains from Yonago all the way to Okayama prefecture in the south. For the majority of its length it's a two lane highway and features steep switchbacks and often abrupt vertical drops to the valleys below. It roughly parallels the course of the Hino River until it reaches neighboring Kōfu, where Route 181 continues south, and Route 183 continues west to Nichinan and eventually Hiroshima, the capital of the Chūgoku region.
There are two junior high schools in Hōki - Mizokuchi Junior High and Kishimoto Junior High. High school students typically take the train in to Yonago for class.
