Starting a small business can be psychotherapy meets MBA. It is challenging on practically every front, including having to make tough decisions and have tough interactions. Reprimanding an employee, getting very specific about money and dealing with setbacks will all be part of your existence as a small businessperson.
Looking back at my own entrepreneurial career, I know the challenges I struggled with in the early days would amount to a minor blip in my day now. I learned the hard way how to enforce my boundaries, demand clients pay me what I'm worth (instead of trying to negotiate a better deal) and navigate the countless icky conversations you encounter as an entrepreneur. Here is my list of lessons and advice about what you'll need to do to survive and thrive in small business.
1. Feel comfortable talking about money. Obviously, the topic of money comes up a lot. You need to be able to talk frankly about money with your advisors, potential clients and most important, with the people who owe you money.
2. How to say "No" and mean it. Often we get ourselves in trouble when we say "Yes" or "Maybe" when we really want to say "No." Good boundaries make good business and saying "No" is how you maintain those boundaries.
3. Take (and filter) criticism. Everyone has an opinion, and sometimes criticism is helpful. You need to be able to not take feedback personally and learn from it. Other times it's not helpful, and that's when you need to filter it and forget it.
4. Talk angry customers down from the crazy tree. Stuff happens, and that often leads to angry customers. This is why all entrepreneurs should take lessons in diplomacy, because an angry customer is an opportunity to turn a tirade into a positive interaction if you handle it right.
5. How to sell anything. When it comes right down to it, business is all about selling. Whether you are selling an idea to investors, a product to your customers or a vision to your employees and shareholders, you are selling. Learn how to do it and do it well.
6. Swallow your pride and ask for help. Chances are you will need to reach out to your network for help. This is a tough one for many entrepreneurs who feel as if they have to do everything themselves. Don't be shy about asking for what you need.
7. Speak on camera, on stage or on cue. Public speaking is one of the most dreaded phobias, but for an entrepreneur, it's one of the most valuable assets. From networking meetings to television interviews, you need to be able to present your business with style and ease.
8. Manage your most valuable resource: your time. As your business grows, you time shrinks. You need to master time management and learn how to control and protect your time.
9. How to make the really tough decisions. It all comes back to you as the business leader and that means making the really hard decisions whether that's firing an employee or closing down an entire division of the business. You need to be able step back and make the decisions that are best for the long-term sustainability of the business.
10. Learn new skills quickly. The business environment changes fast, which means your entrepreneurial skill set must change with equal speed. Even if you don't plan on doing it yourself, you need to master it enough to manage it. Trust me, blindly outsourcing what you barely understand leads to more problems down the road!
What skills have you found essential when dealing with uncomfortable or difficult situations in business?

Final Score: Nevada 63, UNLV 28
Reno, NV (Sports Network) - Mike Ball ran for 184 yards and five touchdowns as the Nevada Wolf Pack torched the UNLV Rebels, 63-28, in the battle for the Fremont Cannon at Mackay Stadium.
Nevada (1-3), which retained the Fremont Cannon for the fifth straight year as it snapped a four-game slide dating back to last season, ran for a school- record 559 yards as Colin Kaepernick and Luke Lippincott registered 173 and 170 yards rushing, respectively. Kaepernick also converted 15-of-18 passing for an additional 208 yards and a score.
The Rebels (2-3) were led by Mike Clausen who, in place of an injured Omar Clayton, converted 26-of-50 passing for 276 yards and a score. Despite carrying the ball only three times and ending up with two net yards on the ground, Channing Trotter posted a pair of rushing TDs for the visitors as well.
Nevada moved out to a 14-0 advantage in the first quarter as Lippincott and Ball scored on runs of 12 and 10 yards, respectively.
Moments in the second quarter the Rebels cut their deficit in half as Trotter made it into the end zone on a two-yard run of his own.
Capping a nine-play, 80-yard drive on the ensuing possession, Ball posted a one-yard TD run to make the score 21-7.
Before the end of the first half UNLV rallied to knot the score at 21-21, thanks to a 39-yard TD pass from Clausen to Jerriman Robinson and a one-yard scoring run by Trotter.
The teams exchanged touchdowns in the third quarter as Ball found the end zone on a 32-yard run for the Pack and C.J. Cox had a 23-yard run of his own for the Rebels to again lock the score at 28-28.
From there the game belonged to Nevada, the home team ripping off 35 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.
The flurry began with a four-yard TD run by Ball with under a minute remaining in the third frame and continued with a 17-yard TD pass from Kaepernick to Virgil Green.
Taking a break from running the ball, Lippincott and Kaepernick traded positions as the running back hit the signal-caller for a six-yard TD score to give Nevada a 49-28 advantage with under seven minutes to play.
An 89-yard touchdown scamper by Ball and a 26-yard TD run for Courtney Randall put an end to the onslaught and gave Nevada the overwhelming 35-point win at home.
The Wolf Pack, which finished with an amazing 773 yards of total offense as it overcame four fumbles, did so without the services of running back Vai Taua who has been lost for the foreseeable future with a dislocated elbow. Nevada, which was a perfect 7-of-7 on third down plays, entered the week ranked 116th in the nation in scoring with just 13.7 ppg.
The previous single-game rushing record for the Wolf Pack was 545 yards against Sacramento State back in 1977. The five touchdowns rushing for Ball are tied for the second-most in school history, matching the five posted by Lippincott against Louisiana Tech back in 2007. Both players are one shy of the record set by Chance Kretschmer against UTEP in 2001.
Ironically, the Nevada team record for total yards in a single game also came against the Rebels, the Pack registering a staggering 794 yards on October 2, 1993, in a meeting that ended as a 49-14 triumph for Nevada at home in Reno.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what items you could possibly build given his skill set? I want to be slightly prepared for when he comes out. Probably going to buy him
watch the champion spotlight when it comes out, that should give all the info you need
I'm betting he's built like less like sejuani (hp+ap focused) than volibear (hp+ad focused.) His passive and W leads me to believe those benefit from armpen/ad/hp so i'd bet Frozen Mallet is going to be high on that list. Philo? mercs frozen mallet atma's FoN or Abyssal warmog Starks? is my guess with as much info as we have. Tankies tend to have such low ap ratios and higher mana costs, so it's hard to say if RoA is something to rush instead.
I'd just watch the Champion Spotlight, then that should give you a great idea on how to build him.
Jord Tron 5000
I've been building him like a Trinity tank, similar to Skarner but focusing more on HP. Wriggles, Merc Treads, Trinity Force. Add in HP items as you need them.
Bidorr the Great
I'm interested to see how he would do with a build that is more similar to Singed, rushing RoA, %HP yellows, solo top, the works. I've only played one game with him so far, and I can definitely say for jungling, he needs attack speed and CDR badly. Without those, your jungle is slow and your ganks are pretty dependent on your teammates dealing most of the dmg, since all your abilities have decently long cooldowns.

Named a Best Book of 2010 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway have demonstrated what many of us have long suspected: that the 'debate' over the climate crisis--and many other environmental issues--was manufactured by the same people who brought you 'safe' cigarettes. Anyone concerned about the state of democracy in America should read this book."—Former Vice President Al Gore, author of An Inconvenient Truth
"As the science of global warming has grown more certain over the last two decades, the attack on that science has grown more shrill; this volume helps explain that paradox, and not only for climate change. A fascinating account of a very thorny problem."—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
"Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway have written an important and timely book. Merchants of Doubt should finally put to rest the question of whether the science of climate change is settled. It is, and we ignore this message at our peril."—Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change
"There can be no science without doubt: brute dogma leaves no room for inquiry. But over the last half century, a tiny minority of scientists have wielded doubt as a political weapon to halt what they did not want said: that tobacco kills or that the climate is warming because of what we humans are doing. 'Doubt is our product' read a tobacco memo--and indeed, millions of dollars have gone into creating the impression of scientific controversy where there has not been one. This book about the politics of doubt by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explores the long, connected, and intentional obfuscation of science by manufactured controversy. It is clear, scientifically responsible, and historically compelling—it is an essential and passionate book about our times."—Peter Galison, Joseph Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University, author of Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps
"With the carefulness of historians and the skills of master storytellers, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway lay out the sordid history of tobacco industry protectionists, who framed the debate as scientifically 'unproven,' gaining decades of market share for those merchants of death—who knew all along the risks of their products. Merchants of Doubt shows that some of the very same individuals were part of the plans to frame the climate change debate as unproven, using the same tried and true tactics of misrepresentation of facts, non-representative scientists, and industry-friendly legislators. Again, tried and true public re-framing of reality worked. But now all this chicanery is exposed for the deception it has been in Oreskes and Conway's powerful and timely work."—Stephen H Schneider, Professor, Stanford University, author of Science as a Contact Sport: Inside the Battle to Save Earth's Climate
"A well-documented, pulls-no-punches account of how science works and how political motives can hijack the process by which scientific information is disseminated to the public."—Kirkus Reviews
"Sweeping and comprehensive… Oreskes and Conway do an excellent job of bringing to life a complex and important environmental battle… [a] darkly fascinating history… Merchants of Doubt is an important book. How important? If you read just one book on climate change this year, read Merchants of Doubt. And if you have time to read two, reread Merchants of Doubt." —Grist.org
"Oreskes and Conway tell an important story…This book deserves serious attention for the lessons it provides about the misuse of science for political and commercial ends."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway smoke out the Merchants of Doubt."—Vanity Fair
"In their impeccably researched genealogy of denialism Merchants of Doubt, Conway and Oreskes show that a key group of figures in global warming denial earned their spurs in tobacco-industry-funded attempts to discredit the links between smoking and cancer. "—New Humanist
"Brilliantly reported and written with brutal clarity… The real shocker of this book is that it takes us, in just 274 brisk pages, through seven scientific issues that called for decisive government regulation and didn't get it, sometimes for decades, because a few scientists sprinkled doubt-dust in the offices of regulators, politicians and journalists…Oreskes and Conway do a great public service."—Huffington Post
"In their fascinating and important study, Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway offer convincing evidence for a surprising and disturbing thesis. Opposition to scientifically well-supported claims about the dangers of cigarette smoking, the difficulties of the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars"), the effects of acid rain, the existence of the ozone hole, the problems caused by secondhand smoke, and—ultimately—the existence of anthropogenic climate change was used in "the service of political goals and commercial interests" to obstruct the transmission to the American public of important information…Because it is so thorough in disclosing how major policy decisions have been delayed or distorted, Merchants of Doubt deserves a wide readership. It is tempting to require that all those engaged in the business of conveying scientific information to the general public should read it."—Science
"Merchants of Doubt, by the science historian Naomi Oreskes and the writer Erik Conway, investigates a sort of reverse conspiracy theory: ecoterrorists and socialists are not the ones foisting dubious science upon us; rather it is deniers who are running their own well-funded and organized long-term hoax. Several previous works have ably illuminated similar themes, but this one hits bone…[Merchants of Doubt] provide[s] both the historical perspective and the current political insights needed to get a grip on what is happening now."—OnEarth
"All in all, Oreskes and Conway paint an unflattering picture of why some scientists continue to stand against the overwhelming scientific consensus on issues at the center of public discussion."—USA Today
"Ever wonder how the terms liberty and freedom got all tangled up in fake science, how industry friendly think-tanks got their start, or what motivates scientists to sell out beyond the obvious? Merchants of Doubt expertly follows the historical twists and turns to answer all those questions and more in exquisite detail translated into entertaining narratives easily digested by readers from all backgrounds… This book should be a staple for any scientist and progressive, especially those whose work intersects public policy. Merchants of Doubt will not only leave you better equipped to combat the propaganda now packaged and fed to an unsuspecting public as legitimate science on a daily basis, it is a meticulously researched and wonderfully written."—Daily Kos
"The disturbing tale of how some scientists sell their souls to advance political and economic agendas."—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Powerful."— Economist
"After enduring decades of inexplicably persistent news reports casting doubt on the fact that cigarettes cause lung cancer, pollution harms the planet, and nuclear weapons are extremely dangerous, one might be forgiven for wondering if the same mob of misguided mercenaries might be behind them all. As it turns out—according to the evidence assembled in Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming—they are." —Chronicle of Higher Education
"A devastating portrayal of organized scientific disinformation campaigns that makes clear just how gullible the press, scientific community and the public have been (and to a large extent, continue to be)."—Capital Weather Gang/WashingtonPost.com
"Well-researched and lucidly written."—Washington Times
"Excellent."—America Magazine
"An important book … The next time a friend or Fox News commentator or political candidate assaults you with the claim that 'climate change isn't happening or 'isn't caused by human activities,' you will recognize the source of their colossal misunderstanding. The good news is, honest science wins in the end. The bad news: The earth is heating up while this artificially heated debate rages, though Merchants of Doubt, if widely read, should help douse the media flames." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Merchants of Doubt might be one of the most important books of the year. Exhaustively researched and documented, it explains how over the past several decades mercenary scientists have partnered with tobacco companies and chemical corporations to help them convince the public that their products are safe – even when solid science proves otherwise…Merchants of Doubt is a hefty read, well-researched and comprehensive…I hope it sells, because what it has to say needs to be heard."—Christian Science Monitor...
Naomi Oreskes is Professor of History and Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego. Her essay "Beyond the Ivory Tower" was a milestone in the fight against global warming denial.
Erik Conway is the resident historian at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Indians Baseball Insider
Last updated 11/19/14
The fourth installment of my 2013 Cleveland Indians Key Player series will focus on Carlos Santana. After previously covering Justin Masterson, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Jason Kipnis, we'll be discussing the Indians' catcher and his importance to the upcoming season.
In the midst of a breakout minor league campaign, the Indians acquired Carlos Santana in the 2008 Casey Blake trade. They watched as he blossomed into the club's top hitting prospect since Manny Ramirez. Santana seemed to be the complete package, a switch-hitting power hitter with impressive plate discipline and high contact ability. If that wasn't enough, Santana was converted to catcher early in his minor league career allowing him to match his impressive offensive profile by playing a premium defensive position.
After being a regular in league-wide Top 10 prospect lists in the years following the trade, Santana would go on to make his debut with the Indians in 2010. With a .260/.401/.462 slash line in 192 at-bats, and ...

urnley have reported a record pre-tax profit of £14.4m to shareholders after the club's season in the Premier League.

"This has been used to good effect to correct the losses incurred over previous years, repaying debt and strengthening the balance sheet."

"Let me ask whom you intend to have the money for the straw sandals returned to?"
Zen monks use straw sandals, the same shape as my sandals, but they are made of straw, very beautiful, very aesthetic and very cheap. Nansen is saying, "Who has paid for your straw sandals? They look so new. You don't deserve these straw sandals; they are specially meant for Zen masters. And as for giving you water, I will not ask anything for it, but it has been wasted on a man who does not even know what samadhi is, what is prajna, and still has the guts and the nerve to give an absolutely irrelevant answer; an answer, too, that is not his own. Such a borrowed state is all of scholars, pundits, rabbis.
Nansen exposed Obaku completely to the very innermost core of his being just by asking a small question. But the question is not small, and it is a question which nobody has explained the way I am telling you, that the experiences are not two. Just, the paths leading to the experiences are very different, contrary paths.
One follows the darkness, goes deeper and deeper into the darkness of the mind and the unconscious, reaches to the very end of the mind and jumps out of it. And another tries every possible way to make the unconscious also conscious. And when everything becomes conscious in him, he also takes a jump.
Perhaps Buddha's method is more scientific. There is no question of right and wrong. Both lead to the same space, but Buddha's method of prajna is more scientific in the way that you cannot miss because you are aware. Ramakrishna's path is groping in the dark. He may reach to the dawn, he may not reach. And once he has gone into unconsciousness, all is darkness, he cannot see where he is going. It is just by chance that he finds the door out of the mind, just by chance.
Science does not believe in chance, it has to be a certainty. That's why you will not find more Ramakrishnas in the world, because it is just a coincidence that groping in the dark you find the door and get out of the mind. It happened to Ramakrishna but you will not find another parallel in the whole history of mankind.
Thousands of mystics have reached to the same point. But they have all followed the path of prajna, because when you have a light with you, you need not grope. When you have a light with you, a consciousness, like a torch showing the path, your reaching to the goal has more certainty.
And once you have known the path, then it is very easy. Only the first time are you going into the unknown. But the unknown is not dark; you keep a torch in your hand. Ramakrishna is going into the unknown without a torch. Ramakrishna's samadhi in a way is special. He is alone of that kind. He is a rare specimen who went into his depths without taking a single candle. It is more than probable that you will not find the door.

CHICAGO -- Aramis Ramirez shows no signs of cooling off just as Alfonso Soriano is starting to heat up.
Ramirez and Soriano both hit fifth-inning homers and the Chicago Cubs beat the Houston Astros 4-2 on Friday.Ramirez's 18th homer, a two-run shot, capped Chicago's four-run rally in the inning. He leads the majors with 13 homers since June 24."We were down 2-0 in that inning," Ramirez said. "It was a big inning for us. I'm glad I came through."Anytime you get men on base you should capitalize it, you should score some runs," he said.Soriano started the inning with his 15th of the season -- first since June 19."I hadn't homered in a month, so it was good for me and good for the team because we got the win," Soriano said. "I just feel like I was thinking too much."Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano (7-5) won for just the second time since May 26 and improved to 16-8 against Houston, the most wins against the Astros by an active pitcher.Zambrano went six innings, allowing nine hits and two runs. He struck out three and walked one. It was Zambrano's first win since he returned from a DL stint caused by lower back tightness."I feel 100 percent," Zambrano said. "My sinker was good. Nothing was bothering me. I'm back on track."The Cubs snapped Houston's five-game winning streak at Wrigley Field, beating the Astros at home for the first time in four games this season.Houston's Bud Norris (5-7) took the loss in his first career start at Wrigley Field. He gave up nine hits in 6 1/3 innings, allowing four runs and striking out five."I didn't execute that pitch to Ramirez," Norris said. "Trying to get a fastball up and in, definitely left it out and over, and that's what a good hitter does to it."Michael Bourn had three hits and two stolen bases.Five Cubs relievers combined to throw three scoreless innings."It's easy to manage when everybody comes in and does their job," Cubs manager Mike Quade said.Sean Marshall pitched a perfect ninth for his third save. Carlos Marmol, the Cubs' closer for most of the season, struck out the only two batters he faced in the eighth inning. After his sharp outing, Marmol is now slated to close again."Marmol was sharp," Quade said. "Maybe he's ready to finish up a game (Saturday), hopefully. He's a closer, and he pitched like it."Marmol said he is ready to return to ninth-inning duty."I thought (Quade) was going to put me in today," Marmol said, laughing. "He's the boss, he can do whatever he wants to do. I'm ready whenever."I feel very good right now. I'm getting my confidence back."The Astros failed to capitalize on some early opportunities and stranded eight runners."We weren't able to capitalize," Astros manager Brad Mills said. "We had 10 hits, but it seemed like they didn't come quite when we would have liked if we had our choice."The Astros loaded the bases with nobody out in the second on Carlos Lee's walk and back-to-back singles by Brett Wallace and Chris Johnson.Zambrano fell behind Clint Barmes 3-0 but induced a double-play grounder, scoring Lee to make it 1-0. Zambrano escaped further damage by getting Humberto Quintero to ground out.The Astros again loaded the bases with no outs in the third. Norris and Bourn singled and Zambrano hit Jose Altuve in the shoulder with a pitch.Zambrano fell behind Hunter Pence 3-0, but Pence lined sharply to shallow left. Lee flied out, leaving the bases loaded for Wallace, who was also retired on a fly ball."I got lucky on the pitch to Pence," Zambrano said. "He hit it hard but right at Soriano."The Cubs also struggled early. Soriano led off the third with a double into the left-field corner. With one out, he was caught in a rundown on a comebacker hit by Zambrano. Chicago also squandered Ramirez's leadoff double in the fourth.Houston went ahead 2-0 in the fourth when Bourn singled home Barmes.Soriano cut it to 2-1 with a leadoff homer in the fourth. Chicago tied it when Darwin Barney singled, went to second on Zambrano's bunt hit, stole third and scored on Starlin Castro's sacrifice fly.Ramirez then hit a two-run homer into the left-field bleachers, putting the Cubs up 4-2. The inning was kept alive by Zambrano's drag bunt, which skipped past Norris toward second baseman Altuve.A crowd of 39,855 showed up at Wrigley Field for the matchup between the teams with the National League's worst records.Game notes
Houston activated outfielder Jason Bourgeois from the 15-day disabled list and optioned outfielder Brian Bogusevic to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bourgeois was on the DL since June 29 because of a strained right quad. Bourgeois struck out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. ... Henry Sosa, acquired by the Astros from the San Francisco Giants for infielder Jeff Keppinger on Tuesday, threw seven shutout innings in his debut with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday night. ... Quade will wait to for this weekend series to unfold before naming a starting pitcher for Tuesday at Milwaukee. Rodrigo Lopez, who has three straight quality starts, is the likely choice. ... Ramirez hit his 231st homer with the Cubs, tying Gabby Hartnett for sixth on the club's career list. ... The Cubs snapped a nine-game streak with at least one error, their longest since June 4-13, 1987. The Cubs have 87 errors, 15 more than the Astros, who have the second most in the NL.

California-based Stephen H. Kanner, FAIA, has expanded his practice to another West coast—the one in Africa. Accra, the capital of Ghana, has captured both his attention and his creative passion.

On The Boards/Green In Accra
Kanner Architects
Deep overhangs along southern and western windows, coupled with large openings to the north and east, encourage cooling via Mother Nature. But solar panels stand by when air conditioning is needed.
California-based Stephen H. Kanner, FAIA, has expanded his practice to another West coast—the one in Africa. Accra, the capital of Ghana, has captured both his attention and his creative passion. "Ghana is on the coast and faces the same direction—southwest—as Los Angeles," he says, so its conditions are not entirely alien to him. But Kanner's chief lure was best friend and longtime collaborator Joe Addo, who moved back to his birthplace four years ago.
On his first visit there, Kanner was so impressed by Addo's efforts to revitalize his hometown, he offered the full support of his firm and his own financial investment. "Joe is really involved in political issues that will better the quality of life through roads, water systems, and schools," Kanner explains. Together they've formed a development group called Concept Ghana, with a focus on improving low-income housing, aiding in neighborhood and city planning, and designing upscale housing to help lure wealthy Ghanaians back home.
The Augustino Neto Condominiums, slated for completion in 2008, are among the for-profit projects. The 1,500-square-foot units will sell for about U.S. $300,000. All 25 condos have two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and two balconies opposite each other for unimpeded cross-ventilation. The ¾-acre site is on the airport road, which also houses the city's embassy row. "The town grew around the airport, and the wealthiest district happens to be right below the flight path," Kanner says. But the building's debut of Concept Ghana's soon-to-be-patented material, PozzoGhana, will help insulate against jet-engine noise. The green building product, which combines local sedimentous soils, waste palm kernels, and Portland cement, will form the exposed structure of the condo building.
The condos will showcase other sustainable materials easy to come by in Ghana: bamboo for the poolside cabana and balcony railing; adobe plasters for the walls; and recycled oil drums as large-format shingle siding. Responsibly harvested native woods in wide planks will lend clean, contemporary lines to wall panels. "The building's frame is our concrete product," Kanner says, "then we mixed in ancient local building materials in a modern way."

J.K. Carriere Pinot Noir Vespidae 2011
J.K. Carriere
- Oregon
- United States
- Willamette Valley
Professional Wine Reviews for J.K. Carriere Pinot Noir Vespidae 2011Additional information » |
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Whilst the Pinot Noir grape varietal has its origins in France, and is most closely associated with fine Burgundy wines, it is now grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are many reasons for this the densely packed, deep black bunches of fruits are responsible for making a wide variety of excellent wines, generally agreed to be amongst the most drinkable and accessible one can find. With flavors ranging from currants and red and black berries, to more earthy, spicy notes, Pinot Noir is a versatile varietal which is revered for its relatively light body and beautifully vivid red color However, the grapes themselves are notoriously susceptible to various diseases, and struggle in fluctuating climates. This has not stopped wineries planting and cultivating these vines, though, as Pinot Noir, when grown carefully and treated properly, is a grape with a wide and increasing fan-base, and more often than not produces wonderful wines.
The Oregon wine industry is continuing to go from strength to strength, with many of their Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines winning important international awards in recent years. Oregon has also become renowned as an important region for the production of organic and biodynamic wines, demonstrating the fact that the wineries which are dotted across the diverse regions of the state are keen to experiment with their methods and techniques. A wide range of grape varietals flourish in Oregon, including an impressive array of Old World classic grapes alongside American hybrid varietals. This, coupled with the cooler climate and the mix of traditional and excitingly modern wine production methods makes Oregon a fascinating region for wine lovers, particularly those looking for something unique and utterly delicious.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
Oregon is a fascinating state when it comes to United States' wines. Although not as famous as nearby California, Oregon has been consistently lauded for its dedication to quality, experimentation and innovation over recent decades, helping it establish a powerful wine industry with a great reputation. Within Oregon, we find the beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley, a lush a fertile region most commonly associated with the production of high quality Pinot Noir grapes, which are internationally recognized as being responsible for many of the New World's finest red wines. Whilst the Pinot Noir grape is the most commonly grown across the region, the climatic conditions and soil types in Willamette Valley make it an ideal location for the cultivation of many different varietals, making it a very interesting area to explore through wine.

††† (Crosses)' 'Telepathy' Gets Dark Dance Remix From DWNTWN
Chino Moreno, Shaun Lopez, and Chuck Doom surge and seethe on latest in remix series
Following a bout of silence that no doubt included much surreptitious spell-casting, ††† (Crosses) are back with a series of remixes that reimagine the witchy, ominous electronica found on the trio's eponymous February album. The Los Angeles-based group is, of course, Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno, Far guitarist Shaun Lopez, and a fella named Chuck Doom. Yesterday, Pure Volume rolled out Blaqk Audio's industrial take on "†elepa†hy" (remember that bizarre video?) and now we've got a dark dance version courtesy of L.A. indie-pop brooders DWNTWN. You can stream and download that below, and keep an eye on SPIN family Death and Taxes and BrooklynVegan for more unveilings to come. If you haven't, read our interview with Moreno about this very band.

Da Shamu
Junior Member
I was play a lot of games recently, and kept ending up against Draven. He would carry his team and win the game. I was wondering, who counters Draven??
Senior Member
It mostly depends on the support, but no one can go toe to toe with Draven.
Amélie Poulain
cc, armor, attack speed reduction in lane? taric, nunu, blitzcrank, leona (bursty hard cc or nunu and his slows) otherwise it's all about the outplays
Lord Angry
take someone with good easy to land harass, like urgot or twitch kill him before he gets his BF sword out itemise armor or lane with taric.
Don Dre
the support with the right cc can give Draven a hard time.
Leona and Blitz are both, in my mind, hard counters to Draven, or as close as you can get. His spinning axe gives away where he's moving to, and you just tag him as he grabs it.
Any support that can prevent him from catching axes helps. Alistar, Blitz, Taric, and Leona are the common supports that come to mind right away.
Psych over nine
Straight up trying to trade a few auto attacks with Draven is just playing his game. Either outrange and harrass (Kog,Cait) or have a support who can screw with his ax catching game (Taric, Blitz, Leona).
I counter Draven all day (at lesat in lane) with Lulu. Long range poke, if he gets close just morph into an exhaust and he gets shut down. True way is to just get him with e + q combo so he gets low enough where he can't engage as hard.

This dress has a lovely story. A couple weeks ago, before I went to Vegas, I saw this dress at JCPenneys. It was on sale for $42, originally $70. I didn't have the money, and I attempted to beg Justin to buy it for me, I just had to have it. He didn't really have the money for it either, so I left without it. I was majorly bummed. Last night we ended up in JCPenneys again, because Justin's mom called and said they were having a huge sale, and so the boys wanted to look at jeans. While they were busying themselves with those, I wandered over to the dresses. I didn't expect it to be there. I only remember seeing the one I tried on when I tried it on weeks ago. But I found it. I took it in the dressing room and tried it on again. It was a tiny bit big on me, but nothing I couldn't have fixed. I wanted it. I only had like $40 in the bank, so I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get imusic notes behind the ear tattoo

I didn't want my face painted, so I let Allie paint my shoulder. Naturally, I wanted music notes. And since Allie sings in treble clef, she didn't know what a bass clef looked like (which is why she painted it backwards haha). Unfortunately, we went swimming right after this so it got all smeared and nearly all my glitter washed off.

I must be the last soul in Fort Lauderdale to suck up a strand of spaghetti at Il Mulino. The joint has been around for two decades, providing heaps of homemade pasta as well as explaining why Tuscans and Milanese are getting as fat as New Brunswickians and Lauderdale Lakers. Il Mulino's famously piled platters of garlic rolls are an open casting call for the sequel to Supersize Me — Supersize Me Too. Eat here regularly and you'll get yourself girth and a couple of chins to rival the late, great Pavarotti. Now if only you could carry a tune...
I interviewed friends about Il Mulino before my first foray there, and everybody had an opinion: R. hated the place; he was still shuddering over the gigantic scoop of goat cheese that had been plopped on his noodles. E. didn't much like it either, but he found himself regularly and inexplicably carrying home styrofoam cartons of Mulino's fettuccine; in fact, the night we ate there, E. was spotted skulking through the parking lot, wearing dark glasses and carrying a plastic bag that smelled suspiciously of garlic. B. was hooked on the place's veal piccata; he had this monkey on his back so bad that he'd never ordered any other dish there since the time he'd first eaten it, at age 6, so he couldn't tell me a damned thing about the dozens and dozens of Mulino temptations he'd repeatedly scorned. J. was wild for the homemade bucatini and the sausage sauce. His brother-in-law had an enduring yen for Mulino's torta ripiena, a huge calzone filled with eggplant, chicken, mushrooms, and about 50 billion other ingredients.
Then there were the cyberspace contrarians: The place was hideously uneven and the service certainly the worst in Broward, they maintained. Or it had been so consistent over 20 years that so-and-so had never had a bad meal. The terrific, friendly waitresses couldn't do enough for you. The anelli, a coal-oven-baked dough stuffed with goodies like chicken, pine nuts, and cranberries, was a stroke of genius. Or the vodka sauce on the gnocchi was pathetic, and they bought it from somewhere else anyway. Thank God the kitchen wasn't afraid to use a lot of garlic! Try the pizza — it's suuuuper!

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
Category: Restaurant > Italian
Region: Fort Lauderdale
If there's another restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that has spawned this much dissension, I'd sure like to see it. The only thing anybody agrees on is that Mulino's prices somehow got stuck around 1988. For ten bucks, you can still get a dish of pasta there that would feed an African village.
I had to settle the question of Il Mulino once and for all. Here's my verdict (now shut up already):
Burrata ($14.95). I wouldn't trade Il Mulino's antipasti platter of imported burrata with prosciutto for all the tea-infused tartares on Top Chef. They don't make the cheese, which is a Puglian specialty, but they sure deserve credit for serving it at this price on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Cut open a whole burrata and it oozes pure cream with just the right bit of tang. Sliced, drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil, scattered with a frisson of fresh basil, and outfitted in frilly waves of prosciutto, a wedge or two of tomato, and a couple of puffy and crisp triangles of crostini, this is one dish I'd definitely want to have on a desert island, preferably served by comely boys in grass skirts. When the burrata ran out, I'd eat the boys. I hear they're delicious with a big Amarone.
Calamari fritti ($8.95). You can walk three paces in any direction in Fort Lauderdale and find better squid. A pale, soggy batter is helped not one whit by a messy dipping cup of lifeless marinara. Skip.
Shrimp with polenta ($12.95). A working example of everything going right and wrong at Il Mulino. The polenta, a traditional cornmeal cake, has an addictive, buttery flavor and soothing texture that nicely complements the grilled portobello cap that's served with it. They top the polenta with porcini-sausage cream (one of their stock sauces, which is good on pasta too; taken together, the polenta and sausage sauce resemble Southern grits with sausage gravy, particularly in their caloric load). But the cooks might as well leave off the couple of desiccated shrimp unless they plan to buy them fresher and turn down the heat.
Wait a sec — you're not going anywhere yet. That was just the antipasti.
An efficient, friendly waitress clears your plates. And then:
Walnut-encrusted sea bass with risotto (a special, $21.95). Boy, did we hit the jackpot with this one. I haven't eaten a piece of fish this moist and lively in a Florida restaurant for under $32 in years. I would have been thrilled even if they'd served it to me on an otherwise empty plate. Turns out, this yummy, fragrant flesh in its delicate walnut crust reclines on the downiest bed of lemony, parmesan-cheesy risotto, cooked "to the tooth." They drizzle the whole package with a perfectly respectable roasted red pepper cream sauce. But the half-dozen crumbled, sausage-crusted mussels, added as a garnish, are unnecessary and unappetizing.
Pass those icky mussels off to your partner, who may be pining for a little flair if she's digging into her plate of cheese ravioli with red sauce ($11.95). Beyond the fact that the ravioli, stuffed with ricotta, parm, Swiss, and mozz, is homemade and tasty, there's not much to recommend it, and I have serious issues with the tomato sauce. Somebody's been dipping into the sugar bowl; I don't think you'd be able to blind-taste much difference between Il Mulino's thin, long-suffering red sauce and Prego's. It's true, I've got a bias for fresh, tart, chunky marinara made with good tomatoes. So sue me.

The league hands out supplementary draft picks as compensation for losing players to free agency. NE has had its share of those. Have we ever selected any good players or even starters from our supplementary draft picks? Anyone able to do the research? It might be interesting.
Read the original post again. He is actually asking for compensatory, not supplemental, picks. Everything that could have gone wrong with this thread did.
Why not say Pass? Pass was a very good selection based on where we took him. He was a very late seventh round pick and he played a pretty decent size roll in our 2004 Super Bowl season. It was a great pick based on where he was selected. It was no Brady, but a great pick none the less.

Google Tasks Tray
Shawn Powers shows us how to use the program "alltray" to put applications up in the system tray, even if they're not designed to do so. Shawn demonstrates with Google Tasks and Prism, but you can use it for whatever program you like.
Made it to Lifehacker
Shawn, you made it to lifehacker! Congrats!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!
tech tips return
whoa! good thing that your back with the tech tips! :)
For Apps users..
For Google Apps users, the URL for Tasks is
Hi !
Shown Powers, you are newly in Linux Jornal ? Thats very good ! lool
I miss you, your tech tips of the day ... ! lool
Its good to see you can back ! lol
Maybe another example,
Maybe another example, non-prism, maybe, it would have been better for avoiding the complexity of messing up parameters for xulrunner and/or alltray...
But interesting nevertheless, I've never heard of this program.
You can do something similar
You can do something similar with python, webkit and gtk (or another gui widget tookit).
import gtk
import webkit
import gobject
def destroy(widget, data=None):
window = gtk.Window()
scroller = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
browser = webkit.WebView()
window.set_title("My WebApp") #sets the window title
window.resize(800, 600) #sets the window size
browser.open("http://mywebapp.com") #sets the url of the webapp
window.connect("destroy", destroy)
This should work with the default flavor of Ubuntu. If you are using something else, you just need to make sure python, webkit, and gtk are installed.
Sorry line 6
Sorry line 6 'gtk.main_quit()' should have been indented.
def destroy(widget, data=None): gtk.main_quit()
dude this is cool how it worked. but could you help if there's an easy way to set the icon that shows up in the taskbar? Cuz that'd be awesome. If not don't worry about it...thanks for the tip!
It looks like there is a way
It looks like there is a way to specify the icon alltray uses with the -i option.
This worked for me.
alltray python /path/to/script.py -i /path/to/icon.png -st -na
Loved the tip

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The term 'geek', once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn't satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject.

How People Watch TV in Freeman Spur
National trends have taught us at CableTV.com a lot about TV in Freeman Spur, IL. So we thought we'd share. For instance, 97% of the population tunes in to traditional television, even though 1/2 of Americans watch at least one program online every week. In addition to that, 1/3 of homes in America have 4 or more televisions. It is common to bundle cable and Internet subscriptions. In fact, almost 3/4 of Americans bundle. For Freeman Spur's population of 303, that's equal to:
- 100 with 4 or more TVs
- 145 streaming shows
- 218 bundlers of cable services
- 251 people with evenings free enough to watch TV as it happens.

Sasha Bonilova Video
If yesterday's post of Playboy babe Sasha Bonilova didn't convince you of her awesomeness then this video will!! If it doesn't, then there simply is no hope for you.
If yesterday's post of Playboy babe Sasha Bonilova didn't convince you of her awesomeness then this video will!! If it doesn't, then there simply is no hope for you.
Very nice! Thanks!
this is exactly my cup of tea ..eh…boooobs! jup! thank you man!
she's spectacular, but wtf is with playboy videos and the awful videos. the lighting is terrible, all the panning in and out. they really suck.
I think I just fell in love… again.
That slut's hot.
I agree with mjones. Playboy has always been really ADD with their vids. I just want to the camera to rest on a chick for more then 2 secs.
I am done. No need to look for boobs anymore. WOW and HOLY SHIT!!!
Ewa is going to be pissed at me now.
More oh her, Please!!!!
Is it me but does anyone think she reminds you of Katrina Cozy?
Yeah, shes like an enhanced Katrina Cozy.
Her boobs are real, and they are spectacular! Ever since her Playboy casting call in October I knew she would be Playmate. I am so happy she was chosen, it has been a long time since we have seen beautiful huge natural boobs like Sasha's in a Playboy Playmate.
all right folks,
the video editing is not of Playboy's. many, many good videos on DailyMotion are cut that way. i've tried researching it, but nothing to be found.
my theory is that users on DailyMotion are chopping up videos to avoid some sort of copyright infringement. can anybody weigh in?
oh btw when i said enhanced i did not mean her boobs are fake.
I think the original video probably has more scenes where the camera isn't on her.
This looks like it was edited to feature only the bits where the camera is focused on her, and not doing annoying shit like focusing on a colorful flower vase in the background or whatever the Hell Playboy's photographers feel is important enough to distract us from the real eyecandy.

Afghans concur with Congress that aid money is often misspent
A congressional report released Wednesday on the $18.8 billion that Congress appropriated for Afghan development says the aid often funds fruitless projects.
Gemunu Amarasinghe/AP
Kabul, Afghanistan
Afghans have long been vexed by what they see as often-ineffective use of US aid money in Afghanistan.
So a report that suggests the US government reevaluate how it invests in Afghanistan – with an eye toward ensuring that development spending create lasting solutions rather than long-term problems – is finding a welcome audience here.
"They should have made this [suggestion] years ago, even at the start of the war," says Nadir Khan Katawazai, a member of parliament from Paktika province. "Billions of dollars came to Afghanistan and except for some highways in the country and some other infrastructure projects we don't see any other benefits from that aid."
The report released Wednesday by US Congress goes so far as to say that Afghanistan may face an economic meltdown when international forces leave in 2014 if the US continues its current aid policy.
"Foreign aid, when misspent, can fuel corruption, distort labor and goods markets, undermine the host government's ability to exert control over resources, and contribute to insecurity," said the report by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Although the US has invested nearly $60 billion dollars in Afghanistan since the start of the war, the report examined only the $18.8 billion appropriated by Congress to the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Those two agencies alone spend $320 million each month on development in Afghanistan.
The sheer volume of cash invested into the impoverished country has reshaped the economy. Now 97 percent of Afghanistan's gross domestic product (GDP) comes from spending related to the international military and development community.
