Upside Down
The new semester, my second one at William & Mary, started with some big changes that pretty much turned my world upside down. Last semester, I worked as a tutor and took a couple of classes. That was nice. I got to know lots of nice W&M students, learned many new things, and felt that

The Colonials' victory over La Salle on Wednesday was mostly forgettable. GW steamrolled a weaker opponent and cruised to their 17th victory.
However, the last two minutes of the game were worth reliving.
Colonials fans were practically begging head coach Mike Lonergan to put in forward Skyler White – a walk-on freshman who endeared himself after stopping mid-play to tie his shoe earlier in the season.
And with a minute and 38 seconds left on the clock, Lonergan relented. In came White.
From my seat under the hoop, I heard White made the boldest of predictions: "If I get the ball, I'm gonna make a three," he told his teammate Paris Maragkos.
And if you can excuse my poor camerawork, you can see what happens next. From a dish from freshman Miguel Cartagena, White hits a three.
The entire Smith Center (including the GW bench) erupted, and kept celebrating when White grabs a defensive rebound on the other side of the court. Fittingly, the game's last play is a second White rebound.
White called his shot, cementing himself as GW's Babe Ruth.

This article is from my documentation pages on UC Berkeley network services that lack official GNU/Linux documentation:
Linux instructions for UC Berkeley network services
The campus VPN service can be used to gain access to the UC Berkeley network outside of campus using an encrypted connection. In particular, it can be used with the campus library to gain access to journal articles and databases that are restricted otherwise. While the UC Berkeley library website has instructions for connecting to the VPN service using the Cisco VPN client, instructions for GNU/Linux machines do not exist, although the GUI on the Cisco client for GNU/Linux is pretty much identical to the Mac and Windows versions.
It is not recommended to use the Cisco client, and these instructions will explain how to use openconnect to connect to the campus VPN service. The reasons to avoid the Cisco client include, but are not limited to the following:
- The Cisco client is not packaged for any GNU/Linux distribution. While the client comes with an installation script, this is not a substitute for proper packaging, as the install script cannot be guaranteed to conform to the standards set by the various GNU/Linux distributions that one might use. Openconnect, however, is properly packaged and is supplied in the repositories for mainstream GNU/Linux distributions, which means that installing, updating, and possibly removing the software are both easy and standardized.
- The Cisco client is closed-source, which means that the security of the software cannot be independently verified. This reason alone is important enough to reject the Cisco software, as security is highly important for networking, and it is always a bad idea to rely on security software programs that cannot be verified though any independent source (i.e. closed-source software). Openconnect is open source under the LGPL and the source code is freely available for independent researchers to verify the security and for the general public to view/modify.
- The openconnect website lists several other deficiencies of the official Cisco client that openconnect fixes.
Openconnect is a command-line program, but for those who need/want a GUI, there is an openconnect plugin for NetworkManager (the network manager for most desktop environments). I have not attempted to test this, as I do not use NetworkManager. Alternatively, one is free to attempt to use the official Cisco client at their own risk (not recommended).
Basic Usage Instructions:
- Install the openconnect software from your package manager. On Debian/Ubuntu, the command to install openconnect is:
$ sudo apt-get install openconnect
and on Fedora, the command should be:
$ sudo yum install openconnect - Run the openconnect client as root to connect to the UC Berkeley VPN Service:
$ sudo openconnect ucbvpn.berkeley.edu - You should now see the following, or something similar:
GROUP: [1-Campus_VPN|2-Campus_VPN_Full_Tunnel|3-Library_VPN|4-Campus_VPN_Split_Tunnel_v4_v6|5-Campus_VPN_Full_Tunnel_v4_v6|900-test]
To select a network, type the group that you want (example: 3-Library_VPN) and hit Enter. Information on the various groups available can be found here. - You will now be prompted for a username and password and you can now log in with your Calnet ID. Once you do that, you will be connected to the UC Berkeley VPN service until you close openconnect.
- To disconnect from the campus VPN, simply stop the openconnect process that you started to connect. This can be done by entering the key combination of Ctrl-C in the terminal window used to launchopenconnect.
Have fun!

...not sure if I should post this in the OT-Part or if it is ok here (anyway feel free to move it):
http://www.blick.ch/sport/eishockey/nla ... 78925.html
We have discussions over here, if the guy should be suspended, and if yes for how many games.
The guy who makes the check is not "known" for such things, so it actually is his "first" check, which is under investigation. The guy who took the hit has a light concussion.
My opinion would be 8-10 games (we have 50 games a season), I somehow was shocked when I saw it the first time on TV.

Im not a Photoshop expert but I got a sneaky suspicion that this Denise Milani nipple shot is a fake-a-roo. Its just a little too blurry around her nipple. On the other hand, consider how close she is to showing nipple in all of her sets. There is bound to be tons of pics of her with nipples exposed, they just choose to be assholes and not put them in the released sets.
To prove my point, check out the set of Denise as a cowgirl. Im convinced the photographer got a whole bunch of nipple slips during the shoot! What do you think? is it her real nipple or is it a fake? Thanks to Chris for the picture.

Wolverine Traveler: Chapter 5
Our adventure through the UP reached its pinnacle on Isle Royale, but we still had a few days left till our flight out of Rockford and we figured it was just enough time for a few quick stops along the way. It seemed wrong to leave the UP without doing a little exploring on an ATV since the entire peninsula is crisscrossed with trails, and I'm sure most folks up there would claim it's the national pastime, at least when there's no snow to be on a snowmobile. Luckily enough you can rent one just about anywhere up there, including the Super 8 Motel on the edge of the Hiawatha National Forest in the town of Wetmore which is where we found ourselves for the night.
A solid 8 hours the next day of tearing down the dirt tracks through the trees, making our way out to the shore of Lake Superior left us exhausted and covered in dust. Mid-day on the trails we stopped for lunch on the shore of Lake Superior when I received a message from an old friend, Michigan-born folk-singer Dana Falconberry. Dana was back in Michigan for a family reunion and she insisted that we stop by on our way home for a tour of some of her favorite spots she'd been visiting since she was a kid. Dana was staying up near Sleeping Bear dunes in a town called Leelanau so we veered a little off our route home up through Traverse City to Lake Leelanau, where we met her on the front porch of a little cottage her family rented. As Blaine and I drove towards Dana's house I put on her latest album, aptly named "Leelanau", only to realize that the tracks were all named after all places we had just seen: Muskegon, Tahquamenon, Pictured Rocks. Having been listening to the album for months and having no idea what any of the names meant, we had now wound our way through each place she sang about. The track list was a road map to our past nine days.
Dana took us out for a walk on the Shores of Lake Michigan as the sun set, explaining to us the marvel of Petoskey Stones that only exist in this one place in the world and all the little treasures she had gathered as a kid on these shores. We stood on top of the dunes watching locals clamber up and down the slopes to jump in the clear water of the lake. As the sun finally set, the top of dune became packed with locals and toursist hiking up to watch the last glimmer of light over the water. As dusk settled in we dropped off Dana and her folks, promising to visit her in Texas where she lives now should we find ourselves down that way soon. We headed back south one last time towards our flight home, saying goodbye to Michigan for the time being.

You want Awesome? You get Awesome. Here's Rep. John Yarmuth on the House floor today, explaining that the Republicans' idea of Women's History Month is re-enacting the women's equality fights of 100 years ago:
Yes, calling out a party that worships at the feet of Rush Limbaugh is like shooting fish in a barrel, but sometimes those fish just have it coming.
In a surprise move, Rep. Ben Chandler followed Yarmuth on the House floor with a stirring defense of federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and all that they do for women's health:
Yes, I know. That didn't fool anyone.

Naramake Elementary School and Nathan Hale Middle School are located on Strawberry Hill Avenue, a minor arterial street in Norwalk, Connecticut. Many of the children live within walking distance of the schools, but only a few children currently walk or bicycle to school because the lack of infrastructure makes the road unsafe. Strawberry Hill Avenue is a busy road, averaging 1,200 motor vehicles a day with an 85th percentile speed of 42 miles per hour and an average speed of 35 mph, both of which are higher than the posted speed limit. Residents and parents have expressed concerns about the high travel speeds and the need for additional traffic signals and pedestrian crossings along Strawberry Hill Avenue to increase safety for residents and children walking along the road.
In 2006, the Connecticut Department of Transportation granted Naramake Elementary and Nathan Hale Middle $350,000 through the Federal Safe Routes to School program to apply to engineering, education, enforcement, encouragement and evaluation programs at the two schools. The city plans to dedicate an additional $100,000 toward engineering improvements along Strawberry Hill Avenue.
Engineering projects along Strawberry Hill Avenue include the installation of a new traffic signal, a new pedestrian crossing, curb ramps, bicycle lanes, raised intersections and lane stripping.
Pedestrian and bicycle education is provided by the police department on an as-request basis; this service will continue for both schools. Each summer, the police department also teams up with a local bicycle organization to sponsor an annual bicycle rodeo for school-age children throughout the community.
The police department also supports annual 'Norwalk Slow-Down Days,' which is a week-long effort that enforces and rewards drivers for good traffic behavior. This program began in 2002 and occurs twice a year at both the beginning and end of the school year. Along with this event, enforcement along Strawberry Hill is increased with mobile speed display signs and permanent flashing speeding signs. The police department will continue to use and expand on these types of enforcement measures.
Both schools occasionally have participated in encouragement activities such as bicycle rodeos and Annual Walk to School Week, but with the grant money these programs will become part of the school's annual schedule.
The engineering improvements are to be completed in summer 2008, and it is expected that evaluations will reveal an increase in children walking and bicycling to and from school, a decrease in traffic congestion around the school and an increase in air quality for the community. Results will be evaluated by parent and classroom surveys conducted in fall 2007 and spring 2008 and will show any change in the number of children walking and bicycling to school.

To the first anchor feels pretty easy compared to other gorge 10a's. The extensions offered me a whopping one piece of gear and some pretty tricky face climbing above it. |
By Andy Laakmann Site Landlord From: Bend, OR May 6, 2013 |
Went straight up from the ground and I was pleased to have a purple C3, green alien, and blue mastercam. Sustained climbing above. Largest piece I place was green camalot. Personally, I think this is harder climbing than Cruel Sister. |

Agree with the comments above. The section between the lower and upper anchor involved some rock climbing above your last piece. |
By 1Eric Rhicard Aug 28, 2014 |
Bomber small stopper for the final moves to the upper anchors but isn't above your head the whole time. Helps to have done a bit of balancy face climbing for this finish. |

Update October 2014: The first anchor was just replaced. The old thin SMC hangars had cut pretty deep grooves into the bolts and they were definitely sketchy. Now there are some really nice fat new bolts. This is definitely one of the hardest 10a's in the gorge. Heading to the second anchor makes this really full value. |

"...if it wasn't that I needed a good night's sleep I would have read this book in one sitting. IT IS TRULY EXCELLENT. I never thought I would be so enchanted by a book on blood pressure ... I hope every doctor and patient reads it." C. E. Mills PhD. | ||
Blood pressure is the pressure produced when your heart pumps blood into the arteries of the body. Your blood needs to be under pressure to move it forward so that the arteries can carry it to the organs, tissues and cells of the body (arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins generally carry blood towards the heart). As the heart beats, the pressure rises to a maximum level, called the systolic blood pressure, and as it relaxes, it falls to a minimum level called the diastolic blood pressure. When your doctor tells you that you have a blood pressure of 120 over 80 (written 120/80) it means your systolic blood pressure is 120 and your diastolic blood pressure is 80 millimetres of mercury; that is, your blood pressure is rising to a maximum of 120 millimetres of mercury as the heart beats, and falling to a minimum of 80 millimeters of mercury as the heart relaxes. Why does the pressure not fall to zero when the heart relaxes? This is because of the elasticity of the arterial walls. Imagine you are blowing up a rubber balloon. You force air into the balloon. When you stop blowing and take your mouth away the air is forced back as the balloon deflates, because of the elastic nature of the rubber. If you close the opening with your fingers, the air remains under pressure inside. The great arteries of the body behave somewhat like the balloon. They are stretched when the heart contracts, and by 'springing back' after the heartbeat, they cause the blood to remain under pressure. This residual pressure is what we call the diastolic pressure. What is the significance of systolic and diastolic blood pressure?When you are exercising, or under mental stress, it is your systolic blood pressure which changes first. Changes in diastolic blood pressure occur more gradually and more evenly. Doctors have therefore assumed that a series of diastolic blood pressure readings will give a better indication of your average blood pressure, than a series of systolic readings. They have put more emphasis on diastolic blood pressure when evaluating your risk of stroke or heart disease. Recently however, some studies have suggested systolic blood pressure is important too, and it is now generally agreed that 'systolic hypertension' (a series of readings in which systolic blood pressure is found to be raised most of the time, diastolic being normal) should be treated. Keeping the blood pressure at appropriate levels is an exquisite example of the body's ability to maintain its internal constancy (homeostasis). In the great vessels of the body, the aorta and the carotid arteries, are tiny pressure receptors, called baroreceptors, which monitor, second by second, the pressure within the artery walls. These send messages to a part of the brain, the brain stem. There the messages are processed and result in nerve impulses being sent to the heart, telling it either to speed up or slow down, or increase or decrease its force of contraction. Other messages are also sent to the smooth muscles of arterioles telling them to contract or relax, while still others are received from and sent back to the kidneys which have a part to play in the control of blood pressure through the secretion of a hormone called renin. This is a simplified picture only. Cardiac peptides and hormones within the blood vessel wall are among numerous other checks and balances in a complex neural and hormonal interplay. The common final pathway is our blood pressure being at the right level for the moment, every minute of the day. |

Kevin Na Shot A 16 On A Par-4 Yesterday (Video)
The Daily Gambling Fix 4/15/11 — Mayra Veronica
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Nashville Predators vs. Anaheim Ducks
The Reason: The Predators proved that they wont have much problems scoring against Dan Ellis in this series, as they recorded four goals in Game One. They shouldn't have any issues finding the back of the net in Game 2 tonight, and I would also expect to see Anaheim do the same as you can only silence their big line of Perry, Getzlaf and Ryan for so long. Look for some goals to be scored in a game that should go over the 5-goal total.
The Game: Tampa Bay Lightning @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Reason: They couldn't get it done in the first game of the series, but the Lightning had several chances to record the game's opening goal against Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Look for them to finally solve Fleury and tighten up in their own defensive zone as they even the series tonight in Pittsburgh.

Guns N' Roses may be in the middle of a new residency in Las Vegas, but the band's first Vegas residency that took place back in 2012 forms the basis for a new 3D concert film titled "Appetite for Democracy 3D: Live at the Hard Rock Casino – Las Vegas".
Before the disc drops in stores and online, fans will get a chance to see it in movie theatres, as Rock Fuel Media has selected DRK Productions to distribute the theatrical premiere of the concert film. Screenings will take place in 100 cities across the US on June 14.
The film includes performances of such longtime GN'R staples as "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Patience", "Don't Cry", "November Rain" and more. The band also incorporates some of their newer tracks like "This I Love", "Street of Dreams" and the title track from the "Chinese Democracy" album.
"Appetite for Democracy 3D: Live From the Hard Rock Casino – Las Vegas" will be released on Blu-Ray on July 1. The offering provides viewers with both 2D and 3D versions, as well as bonus interviews.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
X Group Sex is a groupsex hardcore site with a collection of a few hundred downloadable video scenes. The site is part of the All Porn Sites Pass network so lots of more niche sites with similar collections are included with membership. The guest tour is sort of a collage of hardcore group scenes and that's what the member's area is like as well. It's groupsex of all varieties with pornstar pro models and studio style content.
Hardcore Groupsex Studio Scenes, Decent Amount/Variety. Content is all about the video scenes as they do have photo sets on most shoots but those are actually video stills rather than dedicated images. The hardcore videos are threesomes and moresomes with a wide range of action and pornstars along with some amateur looking performers. It's sort of a cross-section of groupsex porn. There are hundreds of total scenes in the collection.
Other Good Stuff:
Mix of Newer & Older Scenes, Some Repeat on Network. The content doesn't have much focus and it's sort of just a grab bag of groupsex stuff. Some of it looks to be from the past few years and other scenes are pretty dated from ten or more years back. They don't give much source info at all. Also, the network repeats some of the content on other niche sites where it also applies. Other groupsex sites in the network have much of the same scenes as X Group Sex.
Video Options Vary, Average to Low Level Specs. Three is a slot for HD level and I think some network sites may have those but X Group Sex tops out at 640x480 1500k with the HD field always not available. Mid-range and older content have specs of 320x240 so the quality definitely leaves something to be desired.
Static Collection, Not Updating Much Any Longer. Videos are date-stamped with update info and the most recent ones here are from about six months prior to this review. Even before that things had slowed down so really the content collection isn't growing or changing here.
Minor Negatives:
A decent sized collection of groupsex scenes that are a mix of newer & older stuff.
X Group Sex is a network site however unlike a lot of other reality/video networks with exclusive content and dedicated collections this is more of a mixed bag of studio group scenes. The content actually is used on more sites on the network than just X Group Sex. The quality levels are below what we're used to seeing nowadays too. The site needs to be looked at as part of the network since it really is more of a section within that network more than a standalone site.

Bills' Manuel deemed 'poor starter' by grading website
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 15 2014 10:52AM
During the 2013 regular season, Buffalo Bills starting quarterback EJ Manuel had a first year that was full of injuries, inconsistencies and glimpses of promise for the future. Basically, he was a rookie that played like one.
Appearing in a total of 10 games last season, Manuel did not provide the answer to the question that every Bills fan wants: is he going to be the franchise quarterback the Bills think he can be? A multitude of pros and cons could be justified after his performance for Buffalo in 2013, but Manuel still lacks a true answer to that very, very important question.
In the minds of one highly respected website, they are not all that impressed with Manuel after one season. Going through all their depth charts and adding in the rookies to each team, Pro Football Focus did the same with the Bills. Each player is qualified with a coordinating color that signifies any of the following: "elite," "high quality," "good starter," "average starter," "below average starter," "poor starter," "not enough information," or "rookie."
To them
Manuel grades out as a "poor starter,"
while his backup Thad Lewis was a notch above last year's first round pick. Lewis was described as a "below average starter."
The important thing to point out is that these are not projections for the upcoming season and beyond. Pro Football Focus goes through every game in the NFL and grades every player on every team, so their findings are based purely on a player's history in the league.
The analysis of the Bills' starting lineup, as currently constructed, yielded a large amount of "average starter" types. In their opinion, Buffalo has one "elite" player in Kyle Williams, and two "high quality" players in C.J. Spiller and Marcell Dareus.

MEDFORD, Ore. — More fake currency is flowing through Southern Oregon compared to last year. Access to sophisticated printers and ink is making it easier for criminals to make counterfeits.
Five dollar bills, or any other small bills like 10's or 20s, are the most common counterfeit bills law enforcement comes across. There are several ways to detect fake money. The easiest way is the way the bill feels. Counterfeit bills are printed on paper, but real currency is on cloth and even has thread weaved into it.
Already this year in Medford, police have seen a nearly 51% increase of counterfeit currency. So far this year in Grants Pass, police reported about 144 cases of forgery. They estimate about 60 to 70% of those cases involve counterfeit money.
Law enforcement say criminals take the smaller bills, like those 5's, 10's, and 20's, to fast-food restaurants or mini-marts, purchase some items, and then get real cash back. They'll do this several times in different locations, until they have enough money to purchase drugs. Police find out about this by talking with suspects they arrest.
"And also through records that they have on them, or that we recover during the case, and interviews with the people that we are taking into custody, but people associated with them and say, 'yeah we know they were doing this because they bragged about it,'" explained Grants Pass Police Lt. Jim Hamilton.
Ultimately, it's businesses who lose in the end and eat up the costs. Store owners will go to the bank to deposit the cash and not realize the money is fake.
Police say there are a few ways to tell if money is fake. On the twenty dollar bill, for example, you should see a watermark of the president's face when you hold it up to the light, or check for a security strip on the side, or see if there's color-shifting ink; if it has all that, then the bill is real.

Repeater's Lament
- Posted by Johanna on September 22, 2011 at 7:55 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
It's not my usual kind of thing, but I found myself drawn in anyway. Repeater's Lament is a long-form webcomic (that began life as a screenplay) that posts a page every other Tuesday. It's the story of Devin Drake, who's somehow released from Death Row only to find his daughter Caitlyn doing drugs with his old compatriots. He encounters a preacher who used to be an angel, and things get weirder from there.
It's written by Joannie Cheng. Part 1, the first 22 pages, is illustrated by Jhomar Soriano (Liar's Kiss). Part 2 and following changes to J.M. Ringuet. The comic is also available to buy from Graphicly at 99 cents an issue.
So far as I've read, the shot choices are creative and the figure work is strong. Part 2 becomes more stylized with a change from dark blue to khaki undertone. Warning: strong language and adult concepts, so maybe NSFW.

TEMPE, Ariz. – Police are searching for a driver in a hit-and-run collision in Tempe.
A vehicle struck Justin Devalk, 21, while he was pushing his bicycle along Broadway Road just east of College Avenue shortly before 9 p.m. Monday, according to the Tempe Police Department.
There's not a sidewalk in the area.
Police said the suspect vehicle fled the scene without stopping to help the victim or notifying police of the incident.
"I remember just trying to go home after because I had no idea what happened," Devalk said.
Another driver stopped and called 911.
Devalk was hospitalized with very serious injuries to his head and arm. He underwent surgery and is recovering.
"That easily could have been fatal," Sgt. Steve Carbajal said.
Devalk is a student at Mesa Community College and has lived in Tempe for two years.
"He's got his whole life ahead of him, trying to better himself by going to school, and now he's got some major obstacles to overcome and who knows what that's going to do with schooling, what is that going to do to his job prospects for a while so he's got a lot of things ahead of him," Carbajal said.
Investigators have determined the suspect vehicle is likely a dark-colored 2001 to 2006 Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Stratus. Police said the vehicle would have sustained damage to the passenger-side mirror and possibly to the passenger side.
Police are asking for the public's help identifying and locating the driver and vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS, 1-800-343-TIPS. Anonymous tips can be left on the Silent Witness website, www.silentwitness.org. A cash reward is available for information leading to the arrest/indictment of the suspect.

Fire departments across the United States frequently respond to vehicle fires, and just like responses to fire alarm system activations, this frequency can lead to complacent behavior on the part of firefighters and officers.
Car fires involving modern automobiles — constructed of high-tech composite materials and plastics — present fires that demand that personnel are properly equipped and that sound tactics are employed. The intense heat and noxious smoke produced by these fire present significant radiant heat and inhalation risks to firefighters and civilians alike.

It appears that President Bush has found a way to dismiss the dismal reports about Iraq, due to be issued by the General Accounting Office within a matter of days. White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino explained it all: "A bar was set so high, that it was almost not to be able to be met."
Grammatical criticisms aside, that statement seems to open the door for Mr. Bush to discount the reports that Congress required and continue with his disastrous 'stay the course' policy in Iraq. The report is just that: information about Iraq's progress toward pre-set benchmarks. It is intended to assist Congress in directing U.S. involvement in the war, but there is nothing in it that mandates any action. Mr. Bush can read it or not, and is certainly free to ignore it. One fears that that is exactly what he plans to do.
The objections that Mr. Bush has begun to raise include the fact that the benchmarks are, in essence, 'pass-fail' grades: either they have been met, or they have not. The president says that they do not allow for any demonstration of progress.
A benchmark is an achieved milestone: either it has or hasn't been accomplished. If 90% of the steps required to achieve a particular benchmark have been accomplished, that benchmark has not been met. One of the preset benchmarks was passage of a law concerning use of Iraq's oil; that law has not been passed. It does not matter how much debate has been held, how many drafts of such a law have been written, or even if some of the diverse and disagreeing groups have begun to move toward consensus. The benchmark is passage of the law; that has not been achieved, so the benchmark has not been met.
Because of this inherent quality of benchmarks, Mr. Bush appears dubious about the report, even before it is issued. An internal White House memo says that the GAO report will not present a true picture of conditions in Iraq. It further states that the established standards (benchmarks) were "designed to lock in failure."
The various benchmarks were established for a reason: they have been deemed necessary steps toward achieving peace in Iraq and there was a desire and expectation that they could and would be met in time to be included in the long-planned and anticipated September report. If Mr. Bush felt they were 'designed to lock in failure,' he could have raised that objection before this point. That he is doing so now is disingenuous.
In a pre-emptive move of his own, the president went to Iraq to personally assess the war. This supposedly dramatic visit will, he seems to hope, deflate the already weak Democratic Congress when it gets the report. That the spineless Democrats can be any further weakened is unlikely; they will probably read the report, make a wide variety of statements decrying the continuing loss of U.S. and Iraqi life, express fury over the millions of people displaced by America's imperial war of choice, and then vote for whatever war funding Mr. Bush requests, all in the name of 'supporting the troops.' They will then, by some inexplicable logic, point to it all as a victory.
Mr. Bush further attempted to pre-empt any possible Congressional calls for real action in Iraq (sorry, Mr. Kucinich; it seems no one is listening), by saying that troop cuts are possible at some point in the future. This apparently is dependent on whether or not security in Iraq improves. Hopefully no one thinks this is anything new. Mr. Bush has said all along that once security improves to some undefined level, and when Iraqi forces can maintain it, U.S. troops can start coming home. He apparently wants security levels in Iraq to be what they were before his war. Iraqi citizens should be able, at a bare minimum, to live in their houses without fear of foreign soldiers breaking in. Mr. Bush seems to miss the fact that the people of Iraq will not be safe in their homes until U.S. soldiers go home. It is their presence that is keeping security levels so low.
Proponents of the president's escalation policies will proudly point out the fact that in some areas where thousands of U.S. soldiers have been added, the death rate for Iraq's people has dropped. They do not look at the cost to the people of Iraq: a foreign nation occupying their country, with free access to their homes at any time of the day or night; millions of people fleeing their homes in numbers that have increased dramatically since the much-vaunted 'surge;' limited or no electricity or running water. This, according to Mr. Bush, is what liberation is all about.
The president, while making the most of his photo-op in Iraq, said this: "[W]hen we begin to draw down troops from Iraq, it will be from a position of strength and success, not from a position of fear and failure." High sounding words, indeed, but like much of what is uttered by Mr. Bush, they are without reasonable meaning. A 'position of strength' can only be interpreted as additional U.S. soldiers occupying America's newest colony. The president has never realistically defined 'Success;' his desire to force Iraq to follow a democratic model that the Iraqi people have never expressed an interest in can hardly be described as success. "Fear" describes the condition the Iraqi people have lived in since the U.S. invasion. Certainly there was fear of Saddam Hussein, but his atrocities pale in comparison to the constant random violence that has wracked Iraq since the American invasion. Mr. Bush seems to see failure as the inability to break Iraq's people and subjugate them to America's oil lust.
Last spring, when the Democratic-controlled Congress first caved into White House rhetoric about 'supporting the troops,' its members looked to the September report as the defining moment for war funding. Even many Republicans, hesitant then to oppose Mr. Bush, said that progress must be shown by September or some action must be taken. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Who among the Democrats will actually oppose continuing the war by voting against funding? Who will simply continue spouting empty words and meaningless phrases, and then ensure that dedicated U.S. soldiers and victimized Iraqi citizens will continue to be fed into the meat grinder of this war? Which Republicans will either recognize that hitching their wagon to the falling star of Mr. Bush's war policies is a career disaster, or will see that the Iraqi people must be allowed to resolve their issues by themselves, and vote against further funding? Which will continue to blather on about 'victory' without ever defining, much less understanding, what that means?
No one with any knowledge of the situation in, and history of, Iraq can feel any optimism that the civil war there will not continue with horrifically tragic consequences for an extended period of time. This situation was caused by Mr. Bush's imperial designs on that nation, but it cannot be ended by the U.S. without a level of carnage not seen in generations. The withdrawal of U.S. soldiers, as quickly as can be safely accomplished, will be a major step toward ending the war. It will allow the Iraq people to determine their own course, whether that results in the partitioning of the country, or some kind of unified government. Whatever the outcome, it must belong to the citizens of Iraq. The alternative is a long, deadly war, that will only end when the people of Iraq, with tremendous loss of life, finally submit to America's designs for them. This will increase the threat to the U.S. from Iraq's neighbors who will have watched Iraq's demise at the hands of Mr. Bush. Their desire to avoid the same fate may result in them using the president's own model of 'pre-emption,' with tragic consequences. The result of the successful conquest by the U.S. of Iraq will cause wounds to the world that will take decades to heal.
Because of this, Congress must heed the words of the forthcoming Petraeus report, even as Mr. Bush dismisses, or gives some bizarre interpretation, to them. It must be remembered that, following the 2006 elections when the American voters demanded a change, the president announced his 'new way forward:' escalation of the war. More of the same was to be something new. The members of Congress on both sides of the aisle must put aside partisan considerations and do what is best for the United States, Iraq and the world. A new way forward is indeed needed, one that takes U.S. soldiers out of a civil war zone as quickly as possible.

Congress will cave in to Bush. Republicans in this Congress have no fear of the next election -- or the one after that or the one after that or the one. . . . They know they are safe because the Democrats have betrayed their anti-war, anti-Bush constituency, and their constituency now has nobody to vote for. They can re-elect the Democrats, who aren't worth a shit, or they can vote for Republicans, who aren't worth a shit. The two major parties have iron-fisted control of the electoral process. Third parties and mavericks such as Mike Gravel and Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are shut off from the money and the media coverage necessary to run a credible campaign. People like Greg Palast and Bobby Kennedy, who are crying that the 2008 election will be stolen from the Democrats are Waaaaaaaay late to the party. In fact, the party has been over for years. |

Vinos Blancos de Castilla Marqués de Riscal Limousin 2005
Winemaker's Notes:
Marqués de Riscal, the oldest Rioja house, has for many years been a leading and pioneering company in the wine producing sector. As far back as 1858, it became the first winery in Rioja to produce wines following the Bordeaux method, and in 1972 it was the first winery to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin, where it produced its famous Marqués de Riscal white wines. Marqués de Riscal sells its products in 80 countries and its wines enjoy the highest international distinctions as well as numerous awards and mentions in the media. Marqués de Riscal Reserva wines are predominantly made from grapes from Tempranillo vines over 15 years of age, grown in the best clay-limestone soils of the Rioja Alavesa. Riscal Reservas spend around two years in American-oak casks, producing a wine which corresponds to the classic Rioja style: fresh, fine, elegant and very suitable for laying down for many years. This 'Rioja Reserva' shows a dark cherry colour with good depth. Balsamic aromas with hints of ripe fruit on the nose and a fresh and light attack, with soft, rounded tannins. This Rioja is spicy and complex, the finish is persistent with subtle toasted oak character. It is elegant, fresh and easy to drink. Try with ham, mild cheeses, casseroles which are not too spicy, pulse dishes, poultry, red meat, grilled and roast meat.

Add your reviewevery bit as good as the aclaimed 2004, if this gets better as suggested by the experts it will be the bargain of the year.
musty earth-like characteristics on the nose combined with sour cherry fruit intertwined with subtle black tea leaves
mushroom, tea leaves, some dried cherry notes layered with black fruit, very sophisticated, nicely balanced, tremendous age-ability
Here you immediately notice the roots that fine rioja has in the Bordeaux trade. An elegant reminder of past, present and future. Soft, elegant with warm fruit and integrated oak. Intensity provided by grapes from old vines but without the excess of some modern winemaking. The 15% cabernet sauvignon adds to the Bordeaux feeling. Excellent vintage.
Faint, sour cherries, with some wood shavings on the nose. Strong vanilla character on the palate with sour pomegranate, cherries, and mild oak. Light to medium in texture. Nice medium finish shows off its robust acidity. 90 points.
Incredibly balanced. Wonderful fruit, but not overwhelming. Medium bodied with notes of raspberry and a bit of coca. Superb, long tannic finish. Wine displays amazing structure and really opened up after about an hour. Must be decanted to fully appreciate the complexity and balance in this wine. Stands up to even $100+ Bordeaux.

A dark cherry colour with good depth. Balsamic aromas with hints of ripe fruit, complex and spicy. The attack is fresh and light, with soft, rounded tannins. The finish proves persistent with some reminders of toasted oak. Its passage through the mouth is pleasant and elegant, fresh and easy to drink.
Cherry-red color with good robe. Spicy, balsamic aromas of great complexity, with notes of ripe dark berries and light toasted nuances. On the palate it is full and tasty, with good structure and rounded, elegant tannins. The finish is long and fresh, with a slight reminder of the fine oak.

Bright ruby-red. Complex, aromatic bouquet of red berries, dried cherry, sassafras, tobacco and cedary oak. On the palate, dark fruits are joined by mounting vanilla and oak spice character. Packs a solid punch and finishes with very good spicy persi... Stephen Tanzers IWC. A Tempranillo wine from Rioja in Spain. 2005 Marques de Riscal Rioja Reserva 750ml
Scents of blackberries, coffee and spicy oak jump out at you from the start. Medium to full-bodied, this wine is loaded with mouthcoating tannins that are balanced by lush fruit flavors.
A more refined style of Spanish wine, this offering possesses aromas of dried berries and earth. The midpalate is filled with dense flavors of fig and dark roots, contained within a rich, full body. As a result of prolonged barrel aging, the finish has flavors of vanilla and toasty oak.

Marwell Hall was built in the early 14th century (around 1320) by Walter Woodlock, a relative of the Bishop of Winchester. It was a timber-framed structure of the type known as a base cruck, in size about 8 metres by 13 metres. Over the centuries many alterations have been made, but the original medieval hall remains as the core of the building.
In the mid 1500s ownership passed to the Seymour family. Henry VIII is said to have been a frequent visitor. Local legend likes us to believe that he and his third wife, Jane Seymour, were married here. Jane Seymour's son, Edward VI, is said to have visited the Hall, and the Royal arms and the initials E.R. can be seen carved over the fireplace in the Hall.
There are many stories of ghostly happenings in and around the Hall. Probably the most famous is the story of the 'Mistletoe Bride'. On her wedding day, while playing hide and seek with her groom and guests, the bride hid in an oak chest in a remote corner of the hall. She was unable to get out of the self-locking chest. The groom and guests searched high and low, but her cries were not heard and her remains were found many years later. It is the wedding guests who can be heard frantically rushing around the corridors searching for the missing bride.
In 1644 Marwell Hall was the scene of a skirmish between Roundheads and Cavaliers. A newsletter of the time relates that a party of about 200 Cavaliers, having spent much of the day drinking in Winchester, rode out to Marwell to engage a troop of sixty of Sir William Waller's men. In spite of outnumbering the Roundheads by more than three to one, they were routed, and fled back to Winchester.
In the middle of the nineteenth century (1841 to 1852) Marwell Hall was owned by a gentleman by the name of John Gully. He survived, but lost, a 64 round boxing match (before the days of the Queensberry rules), trained racehorses at Danebury (but not, it seems at Marwell), had two wives, twenty -four children, and became MP for Pontefract.
For some forty years, from 1798 onwards, the Hall was occupied by the Long family. William Long, in about 1816, made considerable alterations to the Hall during this time, resulting in the building that stands here today.
The massive Cedar that stands on the lawn at the back of the Hall was probably planted by William Long, and is about two hundred years old. Its girth is now five-and-a-half metres.
