60% Merlot 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc.
The Musset family has been on this estate for several generations. Serge Musset took over in 1966. With all the savoir-faire of his ancestors, he grows the vines in the traditional way and makes his wine slowly and patiently.
The founders purchased the St. Andrews winery, located at the foot of the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley, and set out to produce Italian varietal wines - Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese and Merlot.
In 1996, after 20 years experience with other wineries, the last 13 at Newton Vineyards where he established himself in the forefront of Napa Valley winemakers, Winemaster John Kongsgaard joined Luna as Vice President and partner. John is particularly noted for his outstanding Merlots and spent seven years in collaboration with Michel Rolland from Bordeaux perfecting winemaking techniques in the Napa region.
With a passion for Italian wines combined with a desire to live slightly on the edge, John happily joined Luna. He was excited by the opportunity to travel to the "Old World" and learn how to adapt their traditional and new techniques for growing grapes and making wine from Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio.
Ripe fruit bouquet, soft sharpness and freshness are the features of this variety that can be kept in casks. In Casillero del Diablo we have created an exclusive Chardonnay. Its grapes from the Casablanca Valley receive the fresh breezes from the South Pacific Ocean, while develop a mineral style obtained from the unique composition of its soils.
Great with fish, seafood and creamy pasta dishes.
This unique, non-traditional white wine blend was created to offer full-flavored fruit and enough complexity to match the creative dishes being offered by today's generation of chefs. Conundrum can be served with every course from appetizer to dessert and pairs beautifully with spicy foods and full-flavored Asian cuisine. The "conundrum," or puzzle, of this wine is in guessing which grapes make up the blend.
The "conundrum", or puzzle, of this wine is in guessing which grapes make up the blend; a combination that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Semillon and Viognier. Conundrum is a true California wine, with grapes sourced from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Winemaker Jon Bolta began to craft the style for Conundrum in 1988.
The twist cap closure protects the fine aromas and flavors of this distinctive blend, allowing the bottle to be easily re-closed and refrigerated. The airtight cap also eliminates the possibility of cork taint.
Conundrum is owned by the Wagner family of Caymus Vineyards, but stands on its own as a separate brand. The Conundrum winery in Monterey County is close to the sources for most of the grape varietals that make up the wine.

Strategy of the MMA
In the MMA there are two basic strategies of warfare: shock technique – when the soldier tends to win by punches, elbowing, knees and kicks, and wrestling – when a fighter uses throws, grabs and pain / chokes. However, to improve the skills of warfare the martial arts are traditionally used.
* To improve the shock technique in the rack the most popular are boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, various forms of karate.
* To improve the control in clinch the most popular disciplines are freestyle wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling, Judo, and Sambo, while Muay Thai is practically indispensable for mastering the technique of strikes in clinch.
* Finally, the pit is improved by studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Shoot wrestling, judo and sambo.
These martial arts are effective to learn how to be in a dominant position on the floor, and protection from it.
Particular attention is paid to the study of pain and strangling techniques. On the initial stages of the MMA, as a modern sport, pain and strangling techniques were extremely effective and allowed the men with unimpressive physical characteristics to win the victories over much larger opponents.
It should be noted that the limitations of the traditional form of many martial arts inevitably led to an adaptation to the conditions of the battle on mixed rules.
For example, traditional boxing stance is ineffective to counter-attack after a low-Kicks, Muay Thai because of its static nature it makes the fighter vulnerable to the passage in the legs, while in judo considerable emphasis is made on the use of ghee. As a result, many of the fighters train with the coaches of different styles under the auspices of a fight club.
* Approaches to the workouts vary to some extent in every club, however, they are invariably a combination of aerobic exercises and high-speed exercises, and strength training.

My child has
Whether it is the correct use of a child passenger seat, drowning prevention education in the schools, or providing a better awareness of poison hazards to new moms, we are working to create safe homes and communities for children.
Safe Kids Tarrant CountySafe Kids Tarrant County (SKTC) is a local coalition led by Cook Children's Community Health Outreach department and is a nationally recognized community partnership. SKTC is dedicated to preventing unintentional childhood injuries which is the number one killer of children ages 14 and under.
Bicycle safety Did you know that more children ages 5 to 14 are seen in emergency rooms for injuries related to biking than any other sport? According to Safe Kids Worldwide, helmets can reduce the risk of severe brain injuries by 88 percent – yet only 45 percent of children 14 and under usually wear a bike helmet.
Care Team Child abuse is one of the most uncomfortable topics to discuss. But it is certainly one of the most important. Prevention begins with awareness, and that means understanding what abuse is, what the signs of abuse are, and what actions to take.
Child car safetyThe combination of children and cars can result in many dangerous situations. Buckling up the right way on every ride is the single most important thing a family can do to stay safe in the car. It is also important to be aware of other important hazards cars can pose to kids. Preventing backover and frontover incidents, heat stroke and trunk entrapment are also important to keeping your kids safe in and around vehicles.
Drowning preventionDrowning is the third leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 14 and under. Learn steps you can take to prevent drownings or near drownings in your pool, the lake or other areas where there is water.
Human trafficking Every year, thousands of children become victims of human traffickers. Many of them are right here in our own backyard. There are things that each of us can do to help these children and to prevent this tragedy from happening.
Oral health preventionIn addition to cars, water and potential poisons, there are many other things in and around the house that can be a danger to children.
Poison preventionPoisons are in every household. Learn how you can prevent accidental poisonings from household medications and other products such as cosmetics, cleaning substances, plants, toys, pesticides, art supplies and alcohol.
Safe infant sleep Any parent of a 0-12 month old infant may be concerned about SIDS. Are there ways to prevent SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths like suffocation or strangulation? Yes.
Sexting Sexting is the sending of sexually explicit messages and or pictures via cell phone or instant messenger. These days sexting seems to be a rite of passage for most teens, yet sexting could have devastating consequences on their future.
TV and furniture tip-overs Top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances can be unsteady, and if pulled or climbed on, they can tip over and seriously injure young children. These injuries can be prevented by taking a few simple precautions. Much like childproofing with a toddler gate or electrical socket cover, TV mounts and furniture straps are important steps to keeping your family safe.

Struck by the tilting light,
The dandelions flare,
A fire in a match-stick
So stop,
Watch it burn,
Even that tame
A patch of flame teaches something.
Maybe that night
won't puite put the embers out,
Or maybe you learn to forget,
The field flares up in stars.
Do you remember it?

For those that wish to find a good buy go to craigslist.com for your local cities and take a look.
I'm finding a lot of Allante cars there .. at well below the eBay prices. The supply is now exceeding the demand in a big way.
Many of these cars are reaching the critical low end of prices, this is the time to buy. There is a point of low pricing on any car where it makes no sense to sell as a car, when the value of just a few parts far exceeds the market value of the whole car .. THAT critical low price has been reached on dozens, if not hundreds of these cars.
These past week I have seen over a dozen Allante cars, running in nice condition, for under $2,500. A few even under $2,000.
Before the winter ends, BUY BUY BUY !
What the market will do when spring arrives, no one knows.

Joe Burger Head Coach
Joe Burger, who was the assistant coach at Drake University in Iowa, brings not only experience in establishing a new soccer program, but also determination and desire to develop the Hardrocker program from scratch and turn it into a consistent and competitive team.
"This is an exciting day for Hardrocker Athletics," said South Dakota Mines Athletics Director Dick Kaiser. "It is the first addition of a men's sport in over 30 years and it couldn't come at a better time for our institution."
Burger, a 1995 graduate of the University of Missouri – Kansas City (BA), has spent the last 16 years in the world of soccer. He has a United States Federation National 'A' Coaching License --- which is the highest license available.
"I am excited to have this opportunity at South Dakota Mines. The potential of this institution and the chance to build a program from scratch again is exciting," Burger said. "Not a lot of coaches get to do that in their career but to be asked to do it twice is a great opportunity."
Burger was the assistant men's soccer coach at Drake for the past five years. During that time, his duties included: assisting in the oversight of all aspects of the men's soccer program (travel, team training, recruiting, game preparation, budget management, fundraising, marketing, team strength and conditioning as well as team academic progress).
While at Drake, Burger earned the College Soccer News Top Assistant Coach of the Year (2008) and helped guide the men's team to a 62-40-16 overall won-loss record and earned the Bulldogs an initial NCAA Tournament berth in 2008 and Drake's run to the Elite Eight in 2009. Drake received 36 All-Missouri Valley Conference and 25 All-MVC Scholar-Athlete selections, respectively while Burger was there. Nine times Bulldogs were chosen NSCAA Academic All-Americans.
Before that, Burger was the head coach at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kan., from 2001-06, where he established new men's and women's programs. At Barton County, he was in charge of all aspects of the soccer programs including: team selection, assistant coach selection, team training, recruiting, team travel, game preparation, budget management and academic progress. While at Barton County, Berger established a men's record of 63-30-11 and a conference mark of 39-8-4.
Burger was a finalist for the National Soccer Coaches Adidas NJCAA Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005 and received the Regional and Conference Coach of the Year Award in 2001, 2002 and 2005.
"Joe is an outstanding individual and a quality coach. He has proven collegiate experience as a head coach and as an assistant at a high level NCAA Div. I program. There is no question in my mind he is the right individual to get this program off the ground," Kaiser said. "Coach Burger brings with him a complete understanding of our need to attract student-athletes with high academic qualifications. His experiences at Drake University as a recruiter were a very attractive part of the resume he presented to us."
By adding soccer Kaiser feels it will fulfill multiple needs to the SD Mines Athletics Dept. There has always been a strong club emphasis in soccer on SD Mines campus as well as a strong interest from the student body. It also provides the Hardrockers with a nature of compliance with Title IX as well as makes the Hardrockers more desirable as they seek NCAA Div. II conference affiliation.
"The opportunity to help grow the game in this part of the country was too good to pass up, "Burger said. "I think I will be able to help do good things, not just at the college level, but also help promote soccer in the community and give the area's soccer fans a good product that they can enjoy to watch and support. I want to give them a hometown team that they can follow.

Erectile dysfunction is more common in young, middle-aged HIV-infected men
Thursday, 3 May 2012- Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common among elderly men and patients suffering from chronic diseases, the latter probably including also HIV infection. No studies, however, compared the prevalence of ED in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15).
S. Zona and colleagues conducted a study to compare ED prevalence in young to middle-aged men with and without HIV infection using the IIEF-15 questionnaire. They published their results in an online edition of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The researchers conducted a cross-sectional, observational, controlled study on 444 HIV-infected men and 71 HIV-uninfected men. The IIEF-15 questionnaire was used to assess ED. A cutoff score of ≤25 of the erectile domain was used to diagnose ED. Serum testosterone, demographic, and anthropometric (weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]) characteristics were obtained from all participants.
Statistics included the T-test, the Fisher's test, univariable and multivariable logistic regression, and univariate and multivariate Spearman's correlation analysis.
The results showed that the HIV-uninfected group was significantly younger than the HIV-infected group and presented a higher BMI (P < 0.001). The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe ED was higher in HIV-infected men than in HIV-uninfected men of all decades of age. In univariate analysis, HIV infection was associated with ED (odds ratio [OR] = 34.19, P < 0.001).
In multivariable logistic regression analysis, HIV infection remained the strongest predictors of ED (OR = 42.26, P < 0.001) followed by hypogonadism, after adjusting for age and BMI.
"This study demonstrates a clear association between ED and HIV infection, after adjusting for age and BMI. Other than HIV infection, hypogonadism was associated with ED.," the researchers said.
They added: "In addition, the prevalence of ED was higher in HIV-infected men than in HIV-uninfected men, in all decades of age. The early onset of ED in HIV-infected men could be considered a peculiar clinical hallmark of HIV and confirms precocious aging in these patients. ED should be of concern to clinicians when managing HIV-infected men even if the latter are young or middle aged."

Click Here For Our Interview with Natalie Portman
I won't lie, I expected Brothers to be oscar-bait. From its intense premise to its emotional acting, it seemed as though the filmmakers were fishing for awards and rave reviews. The film is actually a remake of the 2004 Danish movie Brødre, written and directed by Susanne Bier. Brødre was very well received, winning various festival awards and critical praise across Europe. It was never as big in America, mostly due to it's not being selected as the Danish entry for 'best foreign film' at the 2004 oscars. For this reason, the film was redesigned to take place in the U.S., and director Jim Sheridan was brought on board to direct. Although I haven't seen the original, general consensus is that a lot was lost in translation.
The film rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning, with its heavy handed and cliché expositional scenes. Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) is clearly a great dad, just look at how he ruffhouses with his kids! Stuff like that, despite the performances, brought the film down and out of oscar contention. The first half of the film especially has a habit of spelling out exactly what it wants you to take from it. But after a while, the film finds it's footing and does in fact take off.
The story focuses on the Cahill family, of which Sam is the head of house. Sam has a wife, Grace (Natalie Portman), and two daughters, Isabelle and Maggie (Bailee Madison and Taylor Geare respectively). His mother and father live nearby, and often join the family for dinner. The film really begins with Sam's brother Tommy (Jake Gylenhaal) is being released from prison. As he comes to live with the family, we are repeatedly hit over the head with a sign reading "He's the bad egg!" Not long after, Sam's platoon is called back to Afghanistan, where his helicopter is shot down and he is taken prisoner, presumed dead by his country. When the family learns of Sam's 'death,' Tommy steps up to support Grace and the kids. Thinking her husband dead, Grace allows herself to become affectionate towards Tommy. Sam is eventually rescued, and returns home, both physically and mentally scarred. The ensuing love triangle is what drives the rest of the film.
The performances in Brothers are first rate. Jake, Tobey, and Natalie all play their parts to the 't', delivering the best performances that the often shaky script will allow. All three are so compelling that I found it very difficult to take sides during scenes of conflict. As a character driven story, Brothers delivers on the merit of the acting. There are some very powerful scenes, one of my favorite being
Even the youngsters put in some great performances. Bailee Madison especially is a name to remember, whereas with a lot of child actors it is clear that they are acting, Bailee is able to channel her character to an impressive degree. She stands her ground against some very talented, adult actors.
I was disappointed with the film's resolution, as it was strangely ambiguous. There is such a clear conflict, this intense triangle, that I would have liked to see an equally intense resolution. And while we see how Sam's character arc ends, we are left guessing as to the relationship of Tommy and Grace. Since all three were given equal importance throughout the film, it seemed odd that only one deserved an ending.
The DVD includes a handful of special features, including a director's commentary, a featurette on the process of remaking the film, and a discussion of film and family with Jim Sheridan. Nothing out of the ordinary, but as always hearing the directors view of his film helped me understand it in a new light. And it was nice to hear about Sheridan's background, and his own trouble with family growing up.
Brothers gains momentum as it progresses, and by the end it is quite riveting. All three leads do their danish counterparts proud, bringing life to some pretty stock characters. And though it starts out looking like the oscar bait shown in the trailer, the film rises above that level. But it's still overly dramatized, overly expositional, and under conclusive.

Mariachi Hero is an awesome name. It's the kind of name that entices you into giving it a whirl, hoping for a Mexican themed Guitar Hero. This isn't really the case though. Instead you get a game that's all about gaining the best high score. The music is incidental.
The aim is to keep in time with the music by squashing cockroaches as they wander over the red dots surrounding the Mexican bandit. Keeping in time with the music isn't really essential though, it's more to do with tapping the cockroaches as and when they appear. Bombs and bottles emerge too, each of which invoking extra points if you shoot them. There's no huge progression here, just a matter of seeing how long you can last without failing. Much like Guitar Hero, you're given a few chances to screw up as it's all down to a meter at the top of the screen which you need to keep happy.
There's no multi touch support to be seen which would have really helped. In fact Mariachi Hero doesn't feel as responsive to touch as I would have liked, instead feeling a little patchy at times. It's a shame as Mariachi Hero is kind of fun even with all its limitations (it only offers one difficulty level and one level). There are mini games to play too but these are pretty simplistic – they just consist of swiping bugs away from the screen or shooting them.
Game Center support offers leaderboards but no achievements which feels like an oversight.
That's the problem with Mariachi Hero. It's fine but that's all it is. It's fun to play in short doses but even at only a dollar in price, there are so many better games you could be playing for that short play session. It's a great idea but it needs developing. More levels would be cool, more music and an array of difficulty levels too. As it stands though, unless you're crazy about rhythm based games, you're best off giving this a miss for a while.

More reviews by xoslshopaholic
I was never one for drying drops, I always just thought it would be better to allow my nails to dry naturally, but this product changed my mind. I got it on sale at a dollar store, and it was one of the best nail purchases I've ever made. My nails are completely dry to the touch a minute after applying this, and solves my problem of constantly smudging my nail polish after applying it. My nails were perfect for an entire week and a half, with only a top coat (Revlon) and this over it. I'm thoroughly impressed and will be purchasing this again!
I got this on sale for 3 euros (usually about 11 euros) because I had run out of my beloved essence drying spray. The direction advises to let the polish dry for one minute and then allow for 5 minutes drying time. I already found that a bit strange, as the nailpolish I use is usually dry within 5 minutes anyway (note that I rarely do anything beyond 2 coats). I'm not a huge fan of dripping the oil on the nail, it seems uneven at first though it spreads out and I find it a bit messy. I do like that it moisturizes the cuticles in one go. Not too fond of the smell, it reminds me of a very artificial almond smell.
Won't repurchase next time but go back to the spray from essence.

I got this at the dollar store for $2 and was very excited. To date this is the only drying drops I have tried to date so I can't compare it to any. However, this just did not work for it. First of all, it didn't dry my nail polish at all. It just made my nails really oily and messy, and when I tried to wash it off, the polish would get bumpy and smudged.
Will not buy again...
I've always used quick-dry sprays but discovered this little gem last year and I love it! I have a habit of painting my nails a little before I go to bed because that's the only time I'm not moving around and grabbing things. In the past, 9 out of 10 times I would get sheet marks in the morning, even if I've waited an hour before going to bed. However, with these drops I only need to wait about 20 minutes and there are no sheet marks in the morning! I also don't have problems with chipping and the polish easily lasts 5 days before it needs re-doing (unless the polish is infamous for chipping). I also constantly wash my wands too! The only reason I gave it 4/5 is because the application is a bit messy but I don't think I could do my nails without this!

I have both these insta-dry drops and the insta-dry top coat, and I will choose the latter from here on out. I've used these drops on my nails for the past 5 or so times I've done my nails(base coat, 2 polish coats, top coat) and I've still experienced chips or smudges within the hour. I can imagine if you only have one coat of polish to dry, this stuff might be your best bet, but for several coats it's blah. The one benefit however is that it really moisturizes my cuticles, but that's what cuticle creams are for.
This was pretty good. It did seem to dry my nails faster as after my manicure I was up and about doing stuff and I never once dented or ruined the polish.
The drops are easy to apply which I loved. Yes they are oily, but it's an oil dropper formula so I was expecting it. Your fingers will get coated in the stuff but its easy to wash off with water.
I waited about a minute or two before applying the drops after my polish went on. Then I waited 5 mins for the drops to work. Washed it off, and it really was dry!
The only problem I found was chip wear was almost immediate (less than 24 hours). Which I can only assume was the drops, as I was wearing Zoya's Trixie (which has great wear). I guess that's why I won't buy this again, *BUT*, I will enjoy using the rest of the drops!

I choose not to live without this product. I usually apply a base coat, 2 to three coats of polish and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, let it cure for about 5 minutes and then I put two drops of this on every nail (tips or toes). It works marvelously at just giving the nail enough slip and extra drying to withstand any dents and scuffs. Love, love, love this stuff.

When I ran out of my Insta-Dri Top Coat, I was going to pick up another bottle but grabbed this one instead since it was on sale. It's not a bad product, it does dry your nails pretty quickly. It smells great, but since it's an oil it makes a mess! Be sure to put a tissue under your nails when using the dropper. I only used 2 coats of polish + this product, and hours later I went to bed and woke up with some polish wrinkles. Not a huge deal, but this never happened to me with the Top Coat. This stuff works pretty well, but if you're looking for a faster dry, NO smudges whatsoever, and a skipped step (no top coat) -- buy the Insta-Dri Top Coat instead. You end up throwing away about 1/4 of the bottle because you can't reach the bottom, but the pros of the product outweigh that.
I use this every time I polish my nails. However, if the polish is thick and I have time, I typically apply the drops after each coat of polish, wait a little while and then wash my hands with soap and move on to the next coat. I really think that's the most effective way to use it (if you have that kind of time). I like the smell of it. Also, I have bumped my nails many time after using these drops and was seriously scared to look at the damage, but I have been pleasantly surprised every time. I would definitely buy this again and I probably wouldn't bother painting my nails if I didn't have this to help speed the drying. It does drip onto your fingertips, so if you plan on touching anything you will want some newspaper or something to blot your fingertips with.

I love having painted nails, but I've always despised actually painting them, because the process seems to take up a good hour or two of the day at least.
I just used this for the first time today. I painted a base coat, two coats of nailpolish, then a top coat, waited about a minute then used these drops. They sort of get all over the tips of your fingers and make them very greasy, but wait 5 minutes and it's safe to wash them off without smudges. I would say my nails dried to the touch in about 10 minutes. It seems to take a little longer to dry completely hard, maybe half an hour but that's a lot quicker that how long it usually takes for my nails to completely dry.
It isn't a miracle product but it seems to work. I might try the Sally Hansen insta-dry topcoat before repurchasing to see if that works quicker.

At least five Pennsylvania state-owned universities are now allowing guns onto campus after students complained they weren't permitted to pack their firearms, and a subsequent legal analysis by the state's lawyers concluded that an outright ban on weapons was likely unconstitutional. Kutztown, Shippensburg, Edinboro, Slippery Rock and Millersville universities have all changed their policies over the past year to reflect the advice of lawyers in the governor's office and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

Cheers! to 30 years of the most fun in music
Any get-together with the Wilton Singers is an orchestration of energy, enthusiasm, fun and laughter. It's a quality that you can feel in their concerts and, if anything, it's grown deeper and better over the past 30 years. It's because every one of the Singers, from the pure young voices of the newest members (in their 20's) to the sure, mellow voices of those in their 70's, simply loves to sing.
Two of the couples, Jan and Ed MacEwen and Al and Jan Galletly, who established the group back in 1983 are still going strong. Ed has been set and lighting designer for every production. He says that singing with others "opens the door to your soul. With solos, you're right out there, but in a group like the Singers, you have to blend, you're a part of a much bigger sound."
The 30th Anniversary concert on May 10 and 11 will be a program of songs from the last three decades, popular ballads, classical music, Broadway show tunes, a musical retrospective that looks ahead to at least 30 more years of beautifully blended choral singing. The Singers credit most of this, not to their amazing talents, but to the skillful, sensitive teaching of their musical director, Patrick Taylor.
Beth Mason, who's been with the group since 1991, feels that "learning the music is as exciting as the performances. Patrick Taylor hears everything and when we're rehearsing, we're totally engaged in what we're learning from him." Mr. Taylor's background includes a degree in music education at the Hartt School of Music, a master's degree in Conducting from the Eastman School of Music. He was choral director at Wilton High School for 10 years and is director of choirs at Greenwich High School. Among many awards and appearances, he was guest conductor at Avery Fisher Hall.
Patrick Taylor says that he knows of no other group that has such a great range, from the most serious music to pop tunes. "Rehearsals are exciting because they're all striving for excellence and there's true bonding. They all care for each other."
Being a Wilton Singer is a total commitment. First, there are auditions and two-hour rehearsals every week. If you miss two rehearsals, you can't be in the show. For the concerts, which are usually in the WEPCO complex, off New Canaan Road, singers do everything besides sing. The spring and Christmas concerts are cabaret-style. There's dining beforehand, and the tables must be set, the room decorated, all the preparations and details of production are done by the Singers.
The fact that it all turns out to be fun goes back to the original concept of the founders. "We said we were going to sing and party, " Al Galletly recalls. Sure enough, after every rehearsal, the singers eat, drink, joke, and laugh. Singer Annbeth Lattimer says: "Someone in the audience told me 'You look like you're having so much fun!.' 'We are!,' I said. And even though there's a big diversity of ages and we come from 11 different towns, we're like a family. When I think about it, I realize this is one of the most important parts of my life."
Jean Caffey has been president of the Singers for 11 years. She emphasizes that every singer has an additional responsibility to make each concert a success. "Besides singing, I'm the overall operational manager and put all the pieces together." Her daughter Sarah and son David are among the youngest Singers. "Everyone except our music director, is a volunteer. "We're sustained by sponsors, the community's generosity and ticket sales."
One of their proudest traditions is that they offer two $1500 scholarships every year to graduating Wilton High School Seniors who have demonstrated music leadership in the a Wilton High School choral department.
Even the newest Singers quickly appreciate the unusual camaraderie of the group. Rick Franchella, 23, teaches second grade in Greenwich. He says: "It's an amazing experience. I've sung all my life, but since I've been teaching, I've had very little time, and it's so much fun being around singers again, especially since Patrick Taylor was choral director when I was at Greenwich High School. Though I'm new, it doesn't feel like that. Once you start singing, it feels like everyone is the same age."
The May 10-11 Spring concert: "Cheers to the 30 Years" is at the WEPCO Complex, 48 New Canaan Road, Wilton. The invitation says: "Bring a picnic dinner. Doors open at 7 p.m., Concert begins at 8. For more information, see www.wiltonsingers.com.

text: Another thing that works great is rinsing your eye in cold water (to make sure nothing is still irritating it) then put a slice of tomato on your eye for half an hour to an hour (or more if you want). The nutrients in it help swelling and redness to go down. Also, don't wear contacts for about a day to avoid more irritation.

Hunter the fan company needed an animation to showcase their new top of the line air purifier. The goal was to show how the air purifier can destroy airborne bacteria, mold, and even dust mites. The challenge with this animation was the amount of particles I had to create. I think there was over 10000 particles. I turned out pretty well and the Hunter company was very pleased.

A Matter of Antimatter
By Matthew Burnside on November 30, 2010
We are a major step closer to having insanely powerful energy sources thanks to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. They've contained antimatter! I know! Calm down and collect yourself; we are far away from being able to use it. But it's still awesome!
I like to think of antimatter as the Bizarro version of matter. It's like matter, but not like it at the same time. As you know, a normal proton is positively charged and an electron is negatively charged. In antimatter, it is reversed. An antiproton is negative and an antielectron, called a positron, is positive.
Eight years ago, CERN began creating large numbers of antihydrogen during an experiment named ATRAP. The problem being that they couldn't keep the antiatoms from contacting the containment walls and thus reacting. Now, in the ALPHA experiments, CERN has successfully trapped antihydrogen at 9 degrees Kelvin (-443.47 degrees Fahrenheit, -264.15 degrees Celsius) in a magnetic field, allowing them to really get their hands dirty. Once the antihydrogen were trapped, which lasted less than a second, they were released and smashed into hydrogen, annihilating each other. By using silicon sensors to witness the reaction, we know to congratulate them.
To simplify that, if an antiatom touches stuff, everything basically disappears into light and energy. Now they've figured out a way for antiatoms to not touch stuff.
Buh Miff, wif shuf wheh cungrifulafe fim?
Don't talk with food in your mouth. It's rude.
Sorry. But Matt, why should we congratulate them?
Well, for one, CERN has been working towards this in a variety of experiments since 1995 and a ton of hyper-brainiacs have combined their efforts to make a major step forward in one of the largest physics quandaries ever. Scientists have more-or-less scratched their heads when it comes to antimatter. Now, for the first time, they'll be able to study it.
It's believed that the Big Bang produced equal parts antimatter as it did matter, but for some zany reason, the universe seems to have said, "to hell with antimatter." No one really knows why. Maybe it disappeared. Maybe we can't find it. Maybe there exists a separate universe made up of antimatter that can't be in contact with ours. There are a ton of ideas floating around out there. Explore on Google and see what you can find. Or Bing. Whatever. I don't care. Fuck it. Stroll on over to the site that Jeeves built and ask away!
For two, if we could harness this artificially made antimatter, or find and collect natural antimatter, the resulting reaction with matter would yield super-nuclear power. Also, using antihydrogen as fuel is extremely low in weight, as opposed to regular nuclear power, which is extremely high in weight. The resulting possibilities are incredibly exciting!
I've made a list of great ideas for you.
This is what science fiction has been preparing us for: rip-your-face-off-fast space travel. I hope to hop on a ship and haul ass to Gliese 581 g, leaving behind all the racists, violence, tea partiers, polluters, terrorists, people who don't say "thank you" when you hold a door open for them, Glee, AT&T, bad parkers, my crazy neighbor, my other neighbor's dogs, my other, other neighbor's morning time techno sessions, clearly too small ketchup packets, toilet paper facing the wrong direction, and people with a sexually transmitted disease.
If you are a great person and have an STD, my apologies for leaving you behind. You not coming is a safety measure that should be taken for the sake of Gliese 581 g. That makes you a hero.
We could build the lives we've always wanted on G581 g. Peace and love and shit. It may be idealistic, but go ahead, call me a dreamer. I'm not the only one. I know some guy sang about that. I think his band's music is on iTunes.
2. Hoverboards
I'm not a scientist, but I am constantly angry that with every new step in technology we still don't get hoverboards. THIS HAS TO COME NEXT! You hear me, lab coats?
3. Not a bomb. Please, not a bomb.
Seriously, please don't make a bomb out of this.
4. Laser guns
I am cool with a laser gun, though.
5. Magic tricks
By annihilating matter, things will really disappear. No more trap doors or mirrors. If those tigers act up again, poof, gone.
6. The most advanced Pop Rocks Candy ever made.
Hopefully the radiation wouldn't kill us too quickly.
[Any antimatter and ALPHA knowledge my nerdy brain didn't already know was found via CERN, Gizmodo, Wikipedia, and ZME Science.]
[Images via ZME Science and Skate and Annoy]
Are you on Twitter? So am I. Follow me for jokes and cool thingys.
Ah finally…..
Warp drive would be a step to a better life for all.
This totally reminds me of a joke you made on Shipmates. Something about "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Date". I almost peed myself when I heard that. To celebrate the antimatter trapping I came up with this extremely ludicrous expression:
The integral of exp(-matter^2) * d(Chris) from 0 to infinitely funny = Impossibly Awesome!
(OK, cheesy reference here.)
You had me cracking up at the laser comment. Well done!
I know the latter half of this post is mostly in jest, but I have to point out a couple of things:
First, hoverboards are highly unlikely, because of the fact that skateboards rely on friction and deceleration for balance. Imagine how utterly impossible it would be to balance on an object that possesses a quality of anti-friction (similar to a magnet against another magnet pole-to-pole). Every move you make is destined to become a complete disaster.
Second, I love the *idea* of Warp Drive, but seriously. In reality, what with "wisdom" of crowds and such, this is more akin to Warp Disaster.
What's with all the hype about anti-matter, anyway? Weren't we taught enough in Sunday-school (or philosophy class) to realise that something and nothing (good and evil) can't (ultimately) co-exist? I'm all for the world's hyper-braniac atheists to keep studying every increasingly miniscule quasi-particles existing in each ever-so-ephemeral heyday (existences prolonged by our increasingly high-resolution cameras, high-powered microscopes, and deeply-speculating professors), but they still haven't figured out the nature of existence, mostly because they fail to acknowledge the fact that this was all DESIGNED. By a CREATOR.
OF COURSE the universe said "to hell with anti-matter". The job's already been done. Why are we still trying to capture it with math? Answer: because we're a damned curious human race.
To him to has an ear, may he listen.
@booradley – Saying "God did it, stop asking questions," does the universe a disservice. It deserves better than that. It should be looked upon with awe and wonder, studied, figured out, and inspire ever more amazing creations by humanity. Writing off scientists as "those atheists" with a shrug may as well be you closing the door on your own understanding of the world you live in. If you believe it was created by someone, and He made it as intricate and complex as this, and gave us the brains to understand it, wouldn't He want you to?
I can't help but let out a shriek of maniacal laughter when I see scientific breakthroughs like this. I can't wait to be a terrific evil overlord.
*shifty eyes- I mean, yeah! Hoverboards! Awesome!!!!!!
Since 1968 the unit is called kelvin, not degree Kelvin. Pedantic, I know, but it bugs me somehow.
Regardless, it's still a big break through.
I can't disagree more. Many of the things I learned in Sunday school were wrong. Outdated ideas for a world long gone by.Simply stating "they fail to acknowledge the fact" doesn't a make your statements any more factual. I'm not going to attack your beliefs. I just don't think putting your fingers in your ears and yelling "the earth is flat and is the center of the solar system!" is going to work for you in this day and age.
The nature of existence will always be a mystery. There will always be a [Before What We Know] for religion to fill in. There's no need to fear new thoughts, just because they may disagree with some old thinking.
Embrace science. Let it be a building block for your faith, not a wrecking ball.
This is a brilliant development, and one that has the potential to launch humankind into a whole new era of discovery.
"miracles are not contrary to nature, but contrary to what we know of nature." – Saint Augustine
Just a small point of contention: the radiation produced by a particle and antiparticle annihilating is non-ionizing (photonic, if my understanding is correct). So, it wouldn't kill us like radiation from a nuclear bomb going off would. Blind us, yes, but not kill us.
It's truly very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV, thus I simply use web for that reason, and obtain the newest information.

The newsroom rumor mill is often annoying. Today, though, it was kind of fun.
Tex came back from vacation today. I was kind of bummed, because I've really been digging working with fill-in Sandy. The newscast was fine today, though. He wished me a Happy New Year, and then it was down to business. No muss, no fuss.
Post-newscast is when things got interesting. Around 9:30, a woman in a suit came in. She looked a little older than me, long dark hair in a ponytail, pretty but very hard looking. The newsroom was quiet enough that we could all hear everything she said to Nancy, Mel's assistant. And everyone was listening.
"Hi, I'm Serena. I have a 9:30 appointment with Mel."
Appointment for what? As far as I knew, we weren't hiring anyone. She looked like she could be a reporter. Hmm. Then the IMs started rolling in:
brad: are we hiring?
meg: who is this chick?
I didn't know, obvi. Then things got even more interesting. Nancy's pone rang.
"Sure Mel," she said. "I'll send him right in."
She hung up the phone. "Tex!" she called. "Mel would like to see you in his office."
Tex nodded, rose, and walked in. More IMs.
meg: wtf?
brad: what do you suppose that means?
I decided to do a little reporting of my own. I approached Nancy's desk.
"Hey Nance," I began. "That woman looks so familiar." (Total lie.) "What's her name?"
That was much easier than I thought. She just gave up the name. Serena Stahl. Sounded like a reporter or anchor name. I IMd Meg and Brad and told them I had a name was going to commence Googling.
meg: i'm coming over
brad: brt
My gossip-hungry pals pulled up a couple of chairs and we got to work. First we found her name listed on an affiliate site in Memphis. Director. Director? Were we hiring a new Director? Well, it would explain why Mel wanted Tex to meet with her. Tex is the most experienced Director we have on staff.
"See if she's on MySpace," Meg whispered.
Indeed she was! 32, single, originally from Topeka, Kansas. Currently lives in Memphis. Went to Princeton. Doesn't look half bad in a bikini. Doesn't want kids. Likes Coldplay.
Well, it left us with more questions than answers, that's for sure.
"Ask Tex when he gets out," Meg said.
"Why don't you ask him?" I said.
Meg rolled her eyes. "Because I can't stand him and he knows it. He's not going to tell me anything."
I looked at Brad.
"I barely talk to the guy," He shrugged. "All you, K."
I said maybe and they went back to their desks, no doubt to continue the Googleathon. After much deliberation, I decided that I liked the professional space between Tex and me and wasn't going to jeopardize that for some juicy gossip. But it was really hard not to.

Universal Preheaters
For Pre-heating Water, Engine Oil, Hydraulics, Gear Boxes, Transmissions and more.
What is a Universal Preheater?
The Universal Preheater is a new kind of pre heater. It is a thin, flexible heating pad that provides even, gentle heating to engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission oil, water, etc.
- Heat from Pre-Heater conducts quickly through the metal body of a fluid vessel to provide a wide heating area and rapidly heat the fluid supply without burning it.
- The preheater mounts to the outside of an oil pan (or storage tank, reservoir...) And it has no coils to clog or fail.
- It warms and holds engine oil at summer-like (LWD) or near engine operating temperatures (HWD) for easier starting and instant oil pressure even in sub-zero weather.
- The pre-heater uses less power when compared to conventional block heaters. Often, from one to two-thirds less!
- Simple installation - does not invade any systems, nor does it require cutting any holes, welding, etc. Most installations are completed in less than an hour. Permanently mounts to the outside of a engine oil pan (or storage tank, hydraulic reservoir, transmission housing, gearbox, water tank, etc). Ideally, the preheater is installed at the bottom of the fluid vessel to be heated because heat rises, however, the preheater can also be installed on the side of the fluid vessel (below the level of the fluid).
- Every LWD Universal preheater carries a three year warranty. Every HWD Universal pre heater carries a six month warranty.
Which Universal Preheater should I use?
Just use the convenient chart below to find the Universal heater specified for your application. Be sure to check that there is enough open space on your fluid vessel for the heater to fit easily. Learn about high-watt density (HWD) and low-watt density (LWD) heaters.
Can more than one Universal be used on a vessel?
Yes. If only one Universal does not provide enough heat, and as long as there is enough open area on the vessels surface. Also keep in mind that the Universal operates best on the bottom of a vessel.
What do I get when I order a Universal Preheater?
Universal LWD & HWD Preheater kits include a 7 foot, three conductor electrical cord with grounded plug, flexible ceramic insulation pad and RTV Adhesive. The 100LWD & LWD 12vdc Preheaters come with pigtail electrical leads, only. Ceramic Insulation Pads and RTV Adhesive are available as options for the 100LWD & LWD 12vdc models.
Universal Fuel Filter Preheater
The Universal Fuel Filter Pre heater is a thin, flexible, silicone/fiberglass heating pad, that easily wraps around the filter housing to maintain full contact and to evenly transmit heat to the filter housing helping to avoid the risk of diesel fuel gelling.
Why choose Universal Preheaters?
The Universal is the preheater of choice.
- UL approved (#E95403)
- The HWD Preheaters allow rapid heating (to 76 degrees F from 0 degrees F or to 24 degrees C from -17 degrees C) in the first hour without burning the oil and near operating temperatures (150 degrees F to 200 degrees F or 65 degrees C to 94 degrees C) after 6 to 8 hours when sized as recommended. Please note: HWD Preheaters will burnout if an airpocket is trapped between the preheater and the fluid vessel housing (The LWD preheaters do not experience the same condition).
- The LWD Preheaters offer easier installation and slightly lower temperatures in the same time period as the HWD Preheaters. The LWD Preheaters allow heating from 0 degrees F (ambient temperature), to 50 degrees F in the first 60 minutes, and a maximum temperature of 100 degrees F - 120 degrees F after 6 - 8 hours of heating, when sized as recommended.
- Does not invade any systems, therefore: no leaks
- An energy saver ceramic insulation pad enables the Universal to transfer 20% more heat while using 10% less electrical energy, and it helps protect the heater in rough environments.
- PEEL N' STICK adhesive backing permits faster installation and instant use.
- Specifications are available for all applications.

- 1 bag(s) (5-ounce) baby spinach
- 2 slice(s) white sandwich bread, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon(s) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 tablespoon(s) pine nuts
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped red onion
- 1 pound(s) sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 small (or 4 large) Italian frying peppers, halved lengthwise and cored, stems left intact
- 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup(s) canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup(s) low-sodium chicken broth
- In a very large skillet, cook the spinach over high heat just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and press out all of the water. Coarsely chop the spinach. Rinse out and dry the pan.
- In a large bowl, knead the chopped bread with the milk, egg, and cheese to form a paste. Knead in the pine nuts, onion, sausage, and spinach, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using lightly moistened hands, divide the mixture among the pepper halves and lightly pack it in.
- In the skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the stuffed peppers, filling side down, and cook over high heat until well-browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the peppers and cook until the skins are browned and blistered, about 4 minutes longer.
- Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth, cover, and simmer until the sausage filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve right away.

Norma, why do you think I show up every Tuesday?
Craig,Kelly posted first he blew me a kiss, then posted if I didn't turn up the oven, he would have to come to Pa. to spank me. Men sure are changeable in a moments notice, just like pizzas! I have seen and experienced that before about men and their behaviors. Don't tell me you are also one of those men. Norma
Norma, I've spent some time researching the specs of your oven, and, after some consideration, I don't think it can do a fast baked pizza. At least not without some modification, and, since you don't own the oven, I don't think that's feasible. You might be able to modify it without altering the oven at all, perhaps by adding some sort of shelf that raises the pizza closer to the ceiling, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.The biggest potential achilles heel for bottom heat only gas ovens, as Kelly will fully attest to, because of his extensive LBE research/experience, is getting enough top heat going down onto the top of the pizza. You've got to have lot of BTUs coming up from the burner below and you've got to deflect/re-direct this massive heat up, around and down onto the pizza, masterfully. In your oven, the deflection/re-direction isn't too bad (it's the standard deflection for all commercial gas deck ovens), but the BTU output is far too weak to achieve really good top browning during shorter bakes.Some gas decks will add a firebrick ceiling to add thermal mass and bolster the top heat, but, with your burner, it's still not going help much, and, like I said before, because you don't own the oven, welding in any kind of support for the firebricks is out of the question.This all being said, I would still like you to be able to see, with the right oven setup, how easy it is to make a Best style pizza. Just because you can't hit their magic bake time at the market, doesn't mean you can't do it home. Could you refresh my memory on your home oven? Gas or electric? Peak temp?
Happy Birthday, Norma! I loved the pictures of the Rizzo slices. They remind me of Grandma slices. Maybe they make them the same way, with a lot of oil.
Happy Birthday Norma! Don't get drunk on pizza tonight!Chau
I researched Rizzos pizza on Slice. It seems like both styles of their pizzas are first baked in a pan then put onto the stone. http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/12/rizzos-fine-pizza-astoria.html Now wondering if any oil is used in the pan. Norma
Happy B-day Norma. I always enjoy your posts and pics. Patrick
I think that you're going to need at least some oil when you par-bake it in a pan. You'd also need to dock it to get rid of air bubbles to keep it thin.
