Abstract: | Two concepts helped and hindered clinicians throughout the 20th Century: 1) the most important and legitimate use of physicians' time is in the diagnosis and cure of disease; and 2) patients are cured of illness through cognitive learning and compliance with rational prescriptions based on biomedical science. What has made these conceptions a hindrance is that they exclude most of what doctors and patients do together. |

Full of earthy and aromatic spices, this dish is simple to make and provides a hearty dinner or a side dish for fish or roasted meats. We used golden lentils in this recipe, but you're welcome to use any other kind that you like. Alternatively, if you lean on the salty side of things, you can always swap the goat cheese for some feta (preferably Bulgarian).

For the pumpkin:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients together, then place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until soft but not falling apart.
For the lentils:
Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a saucepan and warm over medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2, then add the lentils and the water and bring to a boil. Add the ginger and cumin and stir. Once boiling, lower the heat and bring them to a simmer and cover.
When most of the water is absorbed, add the lemon juice and serrano, stirring to combine. When finished, remove the lentils from the heat and place into a serving bowl. Add the goat cheese, salt, and pepper, to taste and top with the roasted pumpkin. Sprinkle with the mint and serve.

The new normal: San Francisco's 'crazy hot' housing market
- Mark Calvey
- Senior Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Here's another in the Business Times' ongoing "new normal" look at signs that the local economy is getting ahead of itself. Perhaps it's a postcard from the edge that I received this week touting the Bay Area's hot housing market, at least for those in the right location.
"The market is crazy hot!" Dan Hendel, a real estate agent from Coldwell Banker, says on his postcard to San Francisco residents. "I have so many buyers looking for homes!"
(Apparently the market is hot for both housing and exclamation points.)
In prospecting for potential sellers, Hendel says, "I'll pay you if your home doesn't sell."
We've seen this movie before, of course. At the height of the dot-com bubble, people were knocking on my door looking to buy.
That's not happening now. At least not yet.
No doubt the Bay Area's housing market is getting a lift from the region's hot tech sector. And from a national perspective, David Wessel declares in today's Wall Street Journal: "The housing bust is over."
Last week, I wrote about Wells Fargo's (NYSE: WFC) economists being cautiously optimistic on the national housing outlook.
Let's keep in mind that all the frenzy occurs against a backdrop of California Gov. Jerry Brown signing legislation to protect troubled homeowners today and San Bernardino joining Stockton in authorizing the cities hard hit in the foreclosure crisis to seek bankruptcy protection.
Bay Area real estate agents tell me that they're anticipating another wave of buyers hitting the market as Facebook (NYSE: FB) employees are allowed to sell their shares in the newly public company later this year.
The IPO of Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) and the acquisition of several other tech companies was already giving the Bay Area housing market a lift this year. Others point to the money flowing into the region's housing market from Asia. And then there are the central banks around the globe tripping over themselves to pump cash into the financial system, pushing down interest rates and whetting investors' risk appetite for the Bay Area's hot stocks and startups.

Home-Flippers Take Breather Even as Mortgage Rates Decline
NEW YORK (TheStreet) — With 30-year mortgage rates at a 2014 low of 4.25%, late summer buyers may want to step in now and buy a home while the deal makes more sense for their household budget.
But there's one group showing less and less interest in buying residential properties: so-called "home flippers" — investors and speculators who rush into real estate deals, buy up properties and fix them up to sell at a (hopefully) quick profit. Loosely defined, home flippers buy and sell a home within a year.
The numbers show a definite slowdown in home flipping. According to RealtyTrac and its Home Flipping Report, only 31,000 U.S. single-family homes were flipped in the second quarter of 2014. That's 4.6% of all U.S. home sales, down from 6.2% in the second quarter of 2013.
Read More: What It Means to Have Foreclosures at Six-Year Lows
Part of the problem is that flippers' return on investment is slipping. According to RealtyTrac, gross profit margins for home flips stands at $46,000, or a 21% return on investment. But that is down roughly a third from the second quarter of last year, when home flippers earned 31%. Yet just like homeowners who have had to learn a new normal in which home values grow at a slower pace than before the Great Recession, home flippers may have to settle for weaker profits on property deals. "Home flipping is settling back into a more historically normal pattern after a flurry of flipping during the recent run-up in home prices in 2012 and 2013," says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "Flippers no longer have the luxury of 20% to 30% annual price gains to pad their profits. As the market softens, successful flippers will need to focus on finding properties that they can buy at a discount and efficiently add value to." Read More: Despite Bad News on Housing Market, Outlook is Positive for 2014 Despite the slowdown, there are some U.S. metro areas that still fare well with investment-only home sales. RealtyTrac reports that Pittsburgh (with a 106% rate of return on home sales deals in Q2, 2014), New Orleans, Baltimore, Virginia Beach and Daytona Beach all have home flipping profit margins of over 50%. But home flippers are largely taking a breather as the residential property summer sales season draws to a close. Whether they return is anyone's guess, but industry professionals would likely view any extended break as a negative to the nation's real estate market. After all, if the investors don't see a big profit from the housing market, maybe some Main Street buyers feel the same way — even as mortgage rates continue to fall.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I found a this recipe in a church cookbook and tweaked it when I was religiously counting Weight Watchers points. It is low in fat and calories (just under 6 WW points/serving), but tastes much richer due to the gravy it makes. I usually serve it with rice, but it's good with potatoes too.

If things get out of hand, comments will be deleted, posters will be blocked and much-stricter controls will be put in place.
2012 Senior Bowl Blog
I asked Washington Redskins Head Coach Mike Shanahan what qualities he looks for in a quarterback and this was his answer:
"I'm asked that all the time and it is really hard to pinpoint it. Cause there is so many things you look for. A guy's gotta be competitive, very competitive. A guy's gotta be bright, extremely bright. You'd like a guy that is an athlete that can make plays on his own sometimes. Usually if he doesn't have that athletic ability he's got to be a little bit taller because he can see and be able to dump the ball off instead of using his feet. But at the end of the day there is so many things you look for and it's always hard to find the prototype guy and a lot of times you have to adjust your offense to the type of quarterback you do have."
'Tim Tebow homeschool law' gains momentum in Virginia
There are three bills in the Virginia legislature that are modeled after a Florida law informally known as the "Tim Tebow law," which was passed in 1996 and gave the homeschooled Tebow a chance to play for local private and public schools on his way to an NFL career. Similar legislation has failed in Virginia in previous years. But now Republicans control the governorship and the General Assembly; the recent change in control in the Senate makes it more likely that some form of this law could pass in the state. McDonnell said earlier this month that he would support it. He expressed the view of those who support it by saying on a radio show: "Home-school parents pay taxes like everybody else. It's just fair."
But opponents don't see it that way…The Virginia Association of School Superintendents is opposed, as is the Virginia Education Association, which represents more than 60,000 public school teachers. Another foe is the chairman of the House Education Committee, a Republican from Virginia Beach named Robert Tata, who was a successful high school coach and a University of Virginia athlete who played briefly for the NFL's Detroit Lions, the Associated Press reported. Tata opposes allowing homeschooled students to play on local sports teams in part because he worries that coaches will game the system by recruiting top players. Other opponents say that allowing homeschoolers to play for local teams would devastate eligibility and participation requirements and would be unfair to full-time students and teachers.
Homeschooling and sports is one of those gray and nuanced areas in which, depending on your standing, you can make a case either way. So, have at it.
John Fox in no rush to find Broncos defensive coordinator
"I don't really have a direction set, not yet," Fox said. "We'll sit down as a staff as we get away from the Senior Bowl and put a plan together."
"I guess I'd like to have someone in place some time before next season, that's the deadline," Fox said, laughing. "More than likely, we'll feel good about it when we make a move. But we'll do what think would be the best fit and we'll keep trying to make the kind of progress we want on that side of the ball."
That's what I like about The Marlboro Man: he's so cool, he's not on anyone's timeline but his own.
Tim Tebow backing out of AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am due to injury: report
It looks like America will have to wait to see if Tim Tebow's drives off the tee are as erratic as his throws on the football field.
The Denver Broncos quarterback has reportedly backed out of next month's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am due to injuries he suffered in the Broncos' AFC Divisional playoff loss to the New England Patriots a little over two weeks ago.
McKenzie to interview Denver's Allen tonight, could offer job
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said he will meet with Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen tonight to discuss the Raiders' coaching vacancy. McKenzie also told CSNCalifornia.com that no job has been offered to Allen, nor are they in any "negotiations," as reported elsewhere.
"I will meet with Dennis Allen tonight," McKenzie said during the South team's Senior Bowl workout at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. "And after tonight, depending on our conversation …that's when." Meaning, that's when McKenzie will decide whether or not to offer the job to Allen.
"There's no negotiations (right now)," he said. So Allen, who will be interviewing for the second time with McKenzie, could lock the job up tonight? "He could," McKenzie said. "Depends. He's got a lot of stuff he needs to answer. Nah, it's not a lock, irregardless of other people's reports."
The Raiders have narrowed their coaching search to three candidates— Winston Moss, Dennis Allen, and a third "mystery candidate," according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. are no longer in the running, according to the same source. Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice removed himself from consideration Monday night, according to reports out of Chicago.
Denver dodged a bullet when Miami passed over on Mike McCoy; will they do so again here? (via ESPN)
Raiders, Dennis Allen negotiating
The Oakland Raiders have identified Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as the leading candidate to become their next head coach, according to multiple league sources.
Other Raiders head coaching candidates, including Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice, already have been informed that Oakland has found its man and they are no longer under consideration, according to sources.
Allen is meeting Tuesday with Raiders officials to see whether the two sides can take the final steps they need to come to an agreement.
It appears the revolving door continues to spin for Denver at defensive coordinator, as Dennis Allen is reportedly nearing employment with the enemy. Allen's potential departure would mean the seventh different DC in as many seasons for the Broncos, although Allen would be the first to leave under happy circumstances (for him) following the ignominious exits of Larry Coyer, Jim Bates, Bob Slowik, Mike Nolan and Don Martindale.
That Allen's competition has already been notified they're out of the running says that whatever's left to decide between Oakland and Allen's reps is a mere formality.
Led by Allen's creative playcalling, the additions of Von Miller and Brodrick Bunkley, and the return to health of Elvis Dumervil, Denver' defense ranked 24th in points and 20th in yards a year after ranking 32nd (dead last) in both categories. This was Allen's first year as a coordinator after several years as an assistant with the Saints.
Giants DE Dave Tollefson Is A True Momma's Boy
Before every game, the Giants' defensive end heads to a secluded area of the locker room to call his mother. But this isn't your normal don't-get-hurt speech. Tollefson's mom gives him a loud, bombastic, fire-and-brimstone pep talk, reported the New York Times.
Tollefson has Giants equipment manager Ed Wagner scout out a quiet part of every locker room. Tollefson first calls his wife, Megan, before mom delivers her Al Pacino-like speech. Wagner says "she rips into him" and basically tells him not to be a "coward" while using "a lot of curse words."
What does Tollefson's mother have to say about all this? "I'm not going to talk to him like a mom and say, 'Be careful and don't hurt anybody,'" Debi Crocker told the Times. "That's not going to get him pumped up. I would say it's basically potty-mouth, smash-mouth-football-type talk."
Some men are born tough, some achieve toughness, and some have toughness thrust upon them by their mom through the use of f-bombs.
Joe Gibbs likes what he sees in Tim Tebow
So when the conversation Monday turned from racing to the popular Denver Broncos quarterback, the Hall of Fame coach couldn't say enough good things. It had nothing to do with Tebow's outward expression of his faith, something Gibbs doesn't hesitate to share with others. It wasn't an attempt to be a part of the so-called Tebow bandwagon.
Gibbs genuinely is impressed. "I think he's a player," Gibbs said of Tebow as he took a break from racing to talk football. "Everybody is talking about his throwing motion and all of that. I can't tell you how many guys up there have bad throwing motions."
Gibbs laughed at the suggestion that NFL coaches can change the Heisman Trophy winner's throwing motion. "Anybody that starts telling you they're going to change somebody's throwing motion when he spent 16 years playing football and throwing that way is kidding you," he said. "What you see is what you get."

Exquisitely captures the vulnerability not only of youth, but of the male identity.
When you are an adventure-seeker stuck in that odd transition between early youth and adolescence, few movies resonate more than "Stand by Me."
It is about the evolution of a writer, his relationship with his three closest friends and a situation that formed his talent -- and morbid fascination.
Stand by Me is a small, quiet film that walks tall and resonates long after.
Rob Reiner's bucolic, nostalgic drama is widely agreed to be one of the most successful adaptations of a story by horror master Stephen King.
Its perspective is that of a knowing adult, which is to say that though the film is frequently affectionate and funny, it contains a drop too much condescension to be entirely successful.
Gracefully blending raucous comedy with intense drama, the film is about the loss of innocence as well as the getting of wisdom.
Shawshank aside, this is the best non-horror Stephen King adaptation of the bunch.
It stands, sweet and strong, ribald, outrageous and funny, like its heroes themselves -- a bit gamy around the edges, perhaps, but pure and fine clear through. It's one of those treasures absolutely not to be missed.
Stand by Me is a film of honorable ambitions severely compromised by a creeping show-biz phoniness.
Stand By Me is a sentimental film that works because of its unsentimental moments -- in particular, its sometimes embarassingly honest portrayal of what interests boys and how they talk about it.
Well-crafted coming-of-age tale, now best remembered as the cornerstone of River Phoenix's scant legacy.
Reiner seems lost in his own cinematic wilderness -- button-down careful, almost afraid to move
...a timeless coming-of-age drama.
A near-perfect coming-of-age story peppered with regret, pain, nostalgia and love.
Good luck choking back the tears, folks.
A well-observed and executed little film.
Scripters have written inspired dialog for this quartet of plucky boys at that hard-to-capture age when they're still young enough to get scared and yet old enough to want to sneak smokes and cuss.
One of the best coming-of-age stories ever made.
Reiner's film, based on Stephen King's autobiographical novella, is suffused with the magic of childhood; the narrative is framed by a long flashback that brings distance to the remembered reality.
Audience Reviews for Stand by Me
Predominantly known for his horror stories, writer Stephen King released a book in 1982 called "Different Seasons". It contained four novellas, three of which, went on to become successful Hollywood movies which were very far from most other adaptations of his work. One was Bryan Singer's "Apt Pupil" another was Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption" and the third - originally entitled "The Body" - became Rob Reiner's "Stand By Me".
Four young friends, Gordie (Wil Wheaton), Chris (River Phoenix), Vern (Jerry O'Connell) and Teddy (Corey Feldman) go on an adventure together to find the dead body of a local boy who was supposedly hit by a train. By following the tracks, the friends' journey becomes more about them and their personal struggles and soon, the boyish adventure becomes about their experiences of entering adulthood.
Delivered with a wonderfully nostalgic narration by Richard Dreyfuss and a good feel for 1950's Americana, this inviting and honest, coming-of-age, tale captures the spirit of youth like very few others. Reiner's feel for the time and the material is pitched so perfectly that you are completely transported back to this era. It's imbued with a sublimely evocative soundtrack of classic 1950's songs, ranging from; Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" through Buddy Holly's "Everyday", The Chordettes' "Lollipop" and, of course, Ben E. King's "Stand By Me". It's this very attention to detail that truly brings this affectionate and sentimental film to life, while completely involving you in the trials and tribulations of the four, endearing, youths at it's centre. The four youths in question are embodied with charm and nuance by Wheaton, Feldman, O'Connell and, especially, Phoenix. They are so natural in their deliveries that the failed careers they would go on to have didn't merit the performances delivered here. Phoenix was the only one of the four who would receive critical praise, but sadly his life was cut short at the tender age of 23, making his performance all the more poignant.
Rarely has a film captured the innocence and growing pains of young boys on the road to manhood and rarely do you ever get such a rich and heartfelt delivery. It doesn't matter if you didn't experience the 1950's; stepped foot on an Americana front porch or played mailbox baseball. What matters, is that you identify with the characters' rite of passage and that it still perpetuates it's relevance.
A wonderfully rustic and nostalgic gem, that's still as inviting and honest as it was on it's release. This is one of those timeless cult-classic's that will always find an audience to resonate with.

For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life. But for everyone, it's the time that memories are made of.
Very good movie and story! Stand By Me is a story of how one event can unexpectedly change lives. It seems to be a story about friends and how important they are, but this possible theme is clearly dispelled in a line from the narration spoken at the end of the film - `As time went on, we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern, until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls. It happens sometimes, friends come in and out of your life like busboys at a restaurant.' Instead, the film is about learning from a life changing experience and actually making changes or modifying your life in some way because of it, and this is heavily emphasized at the end of the film. What Stand By Me does is brings you back to a time when friendship was more pure and innocent and meant more. You can't help but get caught up in the nostalgia. Perhaps this film means more to me for personal reasons but it is a wonderful film and it should be enjoyed by everyone.
Based on Stephen King's Short story "The Body", "Stand By Me" tells the tale of Gordie Lachance, a writer who looks back on his preteen days when he and three close friends went on their own adventure to find the body of a kid their age who had gone missing and presumed dead. The stakes are upped when the bad kids in town are closely tailing and it becomes a race to see who'll be able to recover the body first.

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
After the death of a friend, a writer recounts a boyhood journey to find the body of a missing boy.
The premise of "Stand By Me" is a rather simple one. A group of four tightly-knit friends living in a small Oregon town, circa 1959, set out on foot to find a dead body. What could easily have been a routine Stephen King horror show is instead an often touching and nostalgic story about the purity and innocence of friendship before the teenage years and adulthood sets in and sours the deal. Director Rob Reiner's best film by far, the subject matter will hit close to home to anyone who has ever had close friendships that crumbled before their time, regardless of what you went through together.
It helps that the actors who portray the foursome - Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell and the later River Phoenix - are about as natural as they come and have seemingly strong chemistry with one another. Watching the story pan out, you truly believe these friendships are real, and for such young actors, they manage to handle the tender and emotional moments of this 90 minute film quite well. The most notorious performance is that of Phoenix, whose budding career was tragically cut short when his life met an end eight years later at the hands of a drug overdose. While Phoenix manages to steal the show away from the lead, Wil Wheaton, it must be noted that the ensemble as a whole did an outstanding job. The film focuses strictly on these four, with minor characters popping in and out of the past and present, and if the cast wasn't so strong, the movie would have easily fallen apart at the seams.
With such a small running time, you'd think that the film is rather shallow, but such is not the case. Although more could have been expanded on (possibly this film's only true flaw), the story flows naturally as you share the ups and the downs with its characters. "Stand By Me" is a true classic in every sense of the word. It's got a significant amount of nostalgia, and it also has a bittersweet edge, both for its downbeat but true to life ending and for anyone who has lost similar bonds in their lives. The last lines of the writer in the film rings truest and sums up the film nicely: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
Super Reviewer
A real genius film (especially the storyline), that truly captures the real essence of a childhood. This film carries pretty much every emotion there is: from happiness to sadness, and from disappointment to satisfaction. It is a classic that every person young to old should definitely watch.

"Penarth" Top 5 Page for this destination Penarth by Balam
Penarth Travel Guide: 43 reviews and 132 photos
In Victorian times Penarth was a very popular holiday destination and was promoted as 'The Garden by the Sea' It would have been packed with visitors from the South Wales valleys as well as the Midlands and the West Country people all staying for a few days or just visiting for the day and all mostly arriving by train.
These days the town with its traditional seafront promanade and Victorian pier continues to be a regular holiday destination even though the number of visitors is much lower than were common from Victorian times untill the 1960's

I was just wondering, of all the older MCers, if you prefer
Napa Rose Lounge or Hearthstone as a place to kick back and have a couple of drinks in a romantic setting...or if you like just a stroll down DTD better....?

I enjoy the Lost Bar very much. It's chill and the drinks have light up ice cubes.

Another place I went to recently and enjoyed is the movie theatre across the street in the Anaheim GardenWalk. They have a wing of the theatre that is designated for 21+ only. It's a few screens playing various new movies, and a nice snack bar where you can purchase some adult beverages. I saw Twilight there on opening weekend and it was AWESOME not having to deal with tons of screaming kids like you do at most theatres on weekends. The screen we were in was modestly sized, not too overcrowded... and get this... QUIET! It was awesome
further to the Napa Rose, they have a patio with a fire ring (for the very occasional smoker) and, from my experience, is rarely used. my wife and I love it so much she hosted my 50th birthday on that patio with about 25 of our friends and family. We had awesome service, truly unforgettable!
I reject your reality and substitute my own
I personally am in LOVE with the Steakhouse 55 Bar, its small, intimate, and the service is top notch. Many of the staff there have worked in the resort for various decades and the service reflects that! Also the drinks are so good! A true cocktail lounge on Anaheim Disney Property if there ever was one! Also the appetizers are SO delicious! The Hearthstone on a bright sunny day is a close second! and Third I would say is the Cove Bar, is that what its called nowadays?, in the back of Ariel's Grotto the drinks are nice, you can get a cocktail and the Lobster Nachos can easily feed three to four people and are only 10.99!
I prefer the ESPN Zone on game nights...
if you would have asked me this question a year ago, than it's all about going to the gas station down the street and mixing your Gatorade or monster with your 21+ beverage and hitting the parks!
Uva is great for people watching and getting some sun.
Ariel's Grotto is great to hang and have a good time. The bartenders are THE BEST! (Hi Rosie, Rochelle, Danielle, Brian, and Jessica!). Downside is in the afternoon the sun is hard to get away from as it sets over Paradise Pier.
Like SHowardcpa said, the Cove Bar above Ariel's Grotto is my favorite place to be (except I haven't seen Brian in fo-r-ev-er!!!! If you see him please say hi for me!). Runners up would be Lost Bar (Ron the bartender is awesome, and Croc's Bites has some delicious nachos), Uva (pricier, but fancier), and Hearthstone (service is consistently on the slower side, but you get free munchies! Yay!).
Another good option is grabbing a glass of wine at the winery in DCA, grabbing a bench, and taking in the views.
My vote is for the Lost Bar too... but if I had to pic between Napa Rose and Hearthstone, I would pick the Rose as you can go outside and sit next to the fire pit while watching people in DCA!
Well if you want to go to a bar..there's the Lost bar at the DL Hotel, House of Blues, Rainforest Cafe has some good drinks. Or if you like wine the Tratorria in DCA has some really good ones, but there just a little pricey.
"If you can dream it, you can do it."-Walt Disney
I am enjoying the Anaheim GardenWalk more and more lately. Saw Star Trek in the 21+ theaters, Prices were reasonable.
Bar Louie has a beer of the month, and charges just $3 per pint 24/7.
Happy Hours, Bar Louie, Cheesecake Factory, Bubba Gump's all have great deals. Bubba Gump's also offers a late night Happy Hour.
Basically half the price of the Disneyland Resort or less.
Just a block away, and on busy days, Disney will offer free shuttle service from the Hotel tram Loading area, since Disney is using AGW for Theme Park Parking.

Clos La Chance Syrah 750ml$15.84
Clos La Chance Syrah
Clos La Chance

There are few red wine grape varietals in the world quite as versatile as that of the Shiraz/Syrah vine. These powerful darkly colored grapes are responsible for several wildly popular wines, and are used in the production of still, fortified and sparkling wines, all which carry its magnificent strong flavors very well indeed. This grape varietal is a robust one, easily adaptable to several different climates and terroirs, and yet has a strong ability to express the conditions it is grown in when it ferments and is drank. Most typically, Shiraz/Syrah wines are known for spicy flavors with a big fruity punch, and the fact that they can demonstrate the decisions made by the winemakers in their secondary flavors very clearly.
It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
California's Central Coast has grown over the past century or so to become one of the United States' most important wine regions, producing an impressive amount of wines each year made from the vast array of grape varietals which thrive there. The hot Californian sunshine and brisk Pacific winds are ideal for growing the imported French and Italian grapes which typify the region, and the fertile soils of Central Coast help give these grape varietals their distinctive character, and big, bold, juicy flavors. By far the most popular varietals grown in Central Coast are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but this region produces both red and white wines of exceptionally high quality, using the latest in viticultural techniques and technologies. The wineries of Central Coast are dedicated to raising their profile, and displaying to the world just how good their unique terroirs really are.

Click for Hotels.com Lowest Rates
Things to do / Travel Guide
Many of the Big Island's roads are scenic, offering views of inland volcanic peaks and wild coastline. In particular, three routes have been singled out as the best.
The Akoni Pule Highway (SR 270,) connecting at Hawi to the Kohala Mountains Road (SR 250), is 38 miles long and covers both the coastal and inland areas of North Kohala. The inland segment of the route cuts through the foothills of the Kohala mountains, offering broad vistas down to the sea, up to the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and, on a clear day, even to Maui.
The Chain of Craters Road in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 23 miles long. The road starts at the Crater Rim Drive, with many opportunities to peer into the Kilauea Caldera crater, and abruptly ends near the ocean, where the road has been cut off by recent lava flows. More specifically, the drive descends from the forests around the Kilauea Caldera crater, passing by several other easily accessible volcanic craters. After passing the Puu Loa Petroglyph trailhead, the road descends further down the lava covered slope until finally reaching the coast. The road ends at the lava flow from Puu Oo's 1983 eruption, which continues until today. A difficult hike from this point will take you to a place where you can get a closer look at the active lava flow. During daylight hours, a plume of steam is sometimes visible at the point where the lava meets the sea. At night, the red glow of lava can be seen higher up on the mountainside. For the best lava flow viewing experience, it is recommended that you arrive at dusk. Don't forget to bring a flashlight and binoculars.
The Pepeekeo 4-mile Scenic Drive is a short drive through the "jungle," located about 10 miles north of Hilo. Access to the drive is from Highway 19, between the 7 and 8 mile markers.

USDF Announces New Volunteer of the Year Award Dressage Press Release
The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new Volunteer of the Year award. Nominations are currently being accepted for this new award, which will be presented annually at the USDF Annual Convention. This is a prestigious award of national scope that recognizes one outstanding volunteer who has demonstrated exceptional commitment toward carrying out USDF's mission: "dedicated to education, the recognition of achievement, and the promotion of the sport of dressage."
Nominees must have volunteered at least 25 hours during the current year on any USDF-related project at the local, regional, or national level. They should have demonstrated consistent and cumulative volunteer activities over the past five years at USDF-recognized events, and have been a USDF group, intercollegiate/interscholastic, or participating member for at least five years.
"Our volunteer system is the backbone of USDF. We would not be able to achieve our goals without the tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers. Winning the new Volunteer of the Year award will be a very special honor," said USDF President Sam Barish.
The USDF Volunteer of the Year will be presented with a perpetual trophy at USDF's Annual Convention and Symposium, which will be held November 30-December 5, 2004 in Lexington, Kentucky. The award winner will also receive a "keeper" trophy and will be featured in USDF Connection.
Nominations may be made by any USDF member and are due August 31. Forms are available at www.usdf.org/Programs/awards/index.asp. Send nomination forms or questions to Cindy Vimont, 220 Lexington Green Circle, Suite 510, Lexington KY 40503; phone: (859) 271-7870; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

My league's been playing for 10 weeks already from week 7 to now. And here are my records in our 9 cat H2H league. Including this week... (the shortened one...)
Any players I should trade away or drop? And who are some players I can try aiming for? I'm currently 3rd place in the league, 6 1/2 games behind the leader and 1/2 game behind the 2nd placer. 1/2 game ahead of the 4th placer though. Had a rough All-Star shortened week.
Notable FA's: Danny Green, Okafor, Kawhi Leonard, Bynum, Pau Gasol, Bradley Beal, Javale Mcgee, Derrick Favors, Jason Kidd, MKG, Billups-
Well Gabe it's been alot of fun going down the stretch with you the past weeks. Really proud of you for taking the chance to totally change alot of your team and make it all work. That's why I play to see if you can meet the challenge of building a solid team. Seems like you'll be very successful at doing that in the future. I'm a computer idiot with no desire to get into Facebook,e-mail and all that other stuff. So when basketball season rolls around again just post something on the general/who to start and I'll catch up with you there,OK man!.Been a whole lotta fun and good luck to you over there and may everything be good for you!!! David
Well team did just enough well for me to win 7-2!!!! Everyone contributed and i was kinda surprised to win by that but his team didn't really show up today. So I'm real happy right now. Looks like Favors,TT,Conley and to some degree Drummond showed up also for you. Saw Dirk did squat and although JR scored 20+ I don't think his FG% was that high. Be interested to see how you did. Should have won FT%,Rb's,steals and blocks so I hope you squeezed out 5-4!
- 1 Reply to David Vest
What's up man! Really happy today!!! Thanks to my guys, I was able to squeeze out PTS, REBS, STLS, BLKS, TO's and FT%!!! Won 6-3! Great! Wasn't able to get FG, but caught up there anyways! I also won in my "Rose squad!" Awesome!!
I'm really super happy for you Gabe!!!!!!!! Big 3 came up LARGE today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 110 pts or so,5 blks. some steals,great FT%,good FG%,20+ RB's from Russell/Melo. Man it could'nt have gotton much better. Hope the rest of day goes as well. Some good Big Man FG%'s you could win that too.At least it will be close.
Looks like some of your Bigs had a good game,not JV though. Told you Drummond would come up LARGE,man. Had to roll with him for 2 days even with the poor FT(he was 1-2 tonight so that's great)!!! Let me know how you stand and your last moves OK! Guy I'm playing DID'NT pull away as JV,Rubio and several others did'nt have good nights and J.Smith sat. Bad news was so did Korver. So I'm down 2 RB's,12 dimes,4Blks and up 3- 3's. Need to really shoot for 2 but have a chance in all 4. This may sound stupid, after the above adulations,but thinking of adding drummond with 1 add and possibly R.Foye with other for his 3's and some dimes. Was hoping on news about J.Nelson cause he would be perfect for 3's/dimes(not to FG% reliable though)! Nothing yet and not to many other big/3's/assists options. If Harkless plays I might be fine but I'm up vs. Curry/K.Thompson/Udrih and M.James which could be alot of 3's/dimes. I have paul,Melo,Hayward,J.Green,Harkless and kyrie for 3's. Not sure if that's enough to pass muster if GS boys get hot again vs.Jazz and Udrih has been real good with 3's lately. RB's is going to be close as he has cousins,Zbo,R.Evans,Okafor and Splitter. I may have to go Drummond and another big for that or Foye and another 3's specialist if I can find one. 1) given those stats, behind/ahead: A) use foye and drummond B)go 2 Bigs or C) go 2 3's specialist?
- 1 Reply to David Vest
Yup, many double doubles in my team today! Which is always pleasant to have. West, Pek, JV, Okafor didn't do much for my Stls/Blks! But Jrue/Drummond came up big! So now I have a very good chance at winning... here's updated scoreboard.
.459 .764 27 596 257 99 39 25 62
.482 .718 50 657 228 150 38 27 70
Good chance at solidifying lead or taking the lead in Pts, Stls, Blks, FT. Not so much FG and TO's.... because of my guys tomorrow which are... Conley, Westbrook, J Butler, Durant, Favors, Zbo, Drummond, Okafor, A Davis!
versus these guys: Al jeff, Hayward, JR Smith, J Thompson, Dirk.
So because of my many games, I doubt I'll win to's! So it's imperative that I win Pts/Blks/Stls and possibly FG or who knows maybe TO's. with this... should I: A) Get Ariza B) Get TThompson. C) Get B. Wright. Let me know please!
As for your team, looking at it, I think you're better of getting Rebs/Blks maybe! So Foye and Drummond would be great. Or possibly, two bigs! I think that's the better choice. I think Melo will bring his A game again today against Durant/WB! (hoping for it!)
Okay, last decision! Added Favors already! It's either TT, Ariza, or B Wright! I need a good mix of FG/Stl/Blks! Big lead on Rebs already! Might lose out TO's though...
Okay, man! So Holiday only plays 4/6 so I decided to keep him. And hope that he steps up against a LBJ-DWadeless Miami Heat... I dropped D. Green (only plays 4/6 left) for D. West (4/6 also).. because D West gets more rebounds/more consistent FG. And then for 4/7, I'll just drop whoever doesn't play 4/7 for TT and one more guy! Ariza or Favors? Favors, right? Better reb/stl/blk/fg?
Gabe: I'm sorry man I screwed up. Butler play's 4/7,I'm real sorry there,man! 1) Keep Green for tommorrow then you can drop him for an add on 4/7 2) Nate,Brewer or Ariza would be good but adding ariza would mean dropping another player on 4/7 too. 2) Like McBob,West and Bismack for his blocks/RB's for 4/7. Sound better?
- 2 Replies to David Vest
Actually maybe Favors instead of Ariza! For 4/7.
Alright, my plan so far!
2 adds left: Dropped green, added West.
Then now I have 2 adds left for 4/7! For those 2 adds, T Thompson + Ariza maybe
Butler doesn't pay 4/6! Holiday plays 4/6, not 4/7! Playing on 4/7? I'm not so sure who is, everyone on 4/7 is pretty good at stls/blks! Anyways, who to drop? I don't think his steals are THAT important because D West can get the same number....
- 1 Reply to Gabe
Btw man, please help me come up with a final decision! Who to drop/add! Need to register the adds/drops so it'll be fixed by tomorrow! Esp the D. West and Ariza/Brewer ones! T Thompson can wait.
For D West AND Ariza/Brewer... will drop either green/butler/holiday (two of them)...
For T Thompson... anyone not playing 4/7!
Gabe you in the house, my man! Need to ask a few things! 1) Thinking of dropping Parker for a 2 for 1 player(just can't take the risk he sits(they play the hawks). Thinking i might as well get an extra game of cat's I can use. Possibilities: 1) M.Miller 4/5 and 4/7. With heat players out he'll play more PT---3's,Rb's,some dimes,FT% and possible blocks. 2) Take a chance on J.nelson? Says he could be ready for 4/5 and plays 4/7. 3's,dimes,FT%! Only problem I have here is if he doesn't play I've wasted 1 of my 3 adds/drops. 3)Korver 4/5 and 4/6. Need players for 4/6,3's,blocks potential,Rb's,FT%,FG% and some dimes. I would have to make move on Nelson/Korver/Miller tonight. Thoughts
- 2 Replies to David Vest
Hmm, I think Nelson might be your best bet! But Korver was hot last game! So... not sure! I think Korver and Miller are almost the same kind of player. But Nelson just came out of injury, so I'd roll with Miller or Korver maybe!!
Round 2! Big Man situation! Wright is good for 4/5 and 4/7 but all my bigs are playing then too. 1)Could drop wright for: 1)Okafor who plays 4/6 and 4/7. In my mind he might be my best option because he plays those days and can get some pts.,Rb's,blocks and not to bad on shooting %'s. 2) Butler,Mcbob,Drummond all will only be able to play 4/7 so those are my best adds for 4/7 only. So my best bet is to add Okafor ,roll with him for 4/6 and 4/7 and if I need another big for the 4/7 select 1 of the above. I will then still have 2 adds for 4/7 or 1 for the 4/6 and 1 for 4/7! Thoughts
No news reports as of 9:15 pm est! E.Brand is out tonight which means more PT for B.Wright so hopefully he can capitalize for me!

Bogislaw XIV, Duke of Pomerania
Bogislaw XIV | |
Duke of Pomerania | |
Spouse(s) | Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg |
Noble family | House of Griffins |
Father | Bogislaw XIII, Duke of Pomerania |
Mother | Clara of Brunswick-Lüneburg |
Born | Barth |
31 March 1580
Died | 10 March 1637 Stettin |
(aged 56)
Bogislaw XIV of Pomerania or Bogislavs XIV (Latin: Bogislaus XIV; Polish: Bogusław XIV) (31 March 1580 – 10 March 1637) was the last Duke of Pomerania. His titles included Duke of Stettin (Szczecin), Cassubiorum et Vandalorum; Prince of Rügen; and Lutheran Bishop of Cammin (Kamień).
Bogislaw was born in Barth as a member of the House of Pomerania. He was the third son of Duke Bogislaw XIII by his first wife Clara of Brunswick-Lüneburg. On the death of his father in 1606, he and his younger brother George II became joint Dukes of Rügenwalde (Darłowo). George II died in 1617, and Bogislaw became sole ruler. In 1620 his domain was incorporated into the Duchy of Stettin, which he inherited on the death of his elder brother Francis. Early in 1625 he became ruler of all West Pomerania on the death of the last Duke of Wolgast, Philipp Julius, and on the 19 February he was married to Elisabeth (24 September 1580 - 21 December 1653), fifth daughter of John II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg, by his first wife, Elisabeth of Brunswick-Grubenhagen.
Despite his attempts to avoid becoming embroiled in the Thirty Years' War, Bogislaw in the Capitulation of Franzburg was forced to allow imperial troops commanded by Albrecht von Wallenstein to use his territories as a base in 1627. In turn, his lands became embroiled in the war, with all its disastrous consequences. In the 1630s, many of the local nobility tried to lessen his power, and this problem occupied Bogislaw in the early 1630s, causing[citation needed] a stroke which left him partial paralyzed. In 1634 he abdicated without clear succession resulting in a constitutional power struggle between his relatives and the governing council. With the constitutional issues unresolved, no recognized male issue, and virtually all of Pomerania occupied by Swedish and imperial troops, Bogislaw died in 1637. The conflicts and issues surrounding the personal and constitutional succession and general future of Pomerania as a dukedom were of such gravity and complexity that they resulted in the postponement of the burial of Bogislaw's body for almost 20 years.
The succession to his lands was mainly between George William, Elector of Brandenburg, the heir under a pact between the two families in 1464, and his brother-in-law Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, who had occupied much of Pomerania on entering the Thirty Years' War in 1629. According to Bogislaw' last will, in case of no succession with the House of Pomerania, his lands were to pass to Sweden, not to Brandenburg-Prussia. Both, Sweden and Brandenburg, exploited not only their position as superior military and occupying powers but also the succession conflicts within the House of Pomerania itself. Therefore, when the allocation of territory was decided at the Peace of Westphalia which concluded the war in 1648, Pomerania was carved up and the territories were split between Sweden and Brandenburg. This meant that the Peace of Westphalia marked the end of Pomerania as an autonomous, political entity.
On 25 May 1654, almost seven years after Pomerania had lost her independence and only after Bogislaw's wife Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg had died, could Bogislaw's body finally be put to rest in Stettin.
