by Loren Barstow Many movie buffs prefer plasma HDTVs because of their realistic colors, deep black levels, and remarkably smooth motion handling. And with the Samsung PN42B450, you can enjoy plasma's lifelike picture quality at a budget-friendly price. You'll also appreciate the stealthy touch-panel controls and red cabinet accent that give this model a clean, refined look. Enjoy a vivid picture that's not bogged down by motion blur The PN42B450's high picture contrast means you can turn your room lights a little lower and still enjoy bold black levels and fine shadow detail. Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer 2 delivers eye-catching images with true-to-life colors and natural skin tones. Plus, this HDTV employs sophisticated drive electronics that activate each pixel in a fraction of a millisecond, for motion that's consistently blur-free. And thanks to the FilterBright anti-glare filter, you needn't worry about being distracted by screen reflections during mid-afternoon ballgames. A wealth of connections expands your viewing options Samsung designed the PN42B450's "jack pack" with high-definition viewing in mind. It includes two component video inputs, plus three HDMI inputs for hooking up HD satellite receivers, cable boxes, video game consoles, and other components that use this digital connection. The HDMI inputs include Anynet+ control capability, so you can operate both the TV and compatible Samsung gear with a single remote. A composite video input on the side of the set makes it easy to connect your non-HD gear, too. Learn about the ins and outs of HDMI connections at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Great choice @ a great price-point Written By Shelby, Southern Maine on Sunday, February 21, 2010 My settings: CELL 10, CONTRAST 55, BRIGHTNESS 50, SHARPNESS 0, COLOR 40, TINT G50/R50 I was happy to find extra channels now accessible (I'm using regular expanded basic cable); most major networks have an HD channel alongside with the SD channel. It's like night & day - compared to the HD the SD is for me to poop on! Others have mentioned how the SD picture takes a hit from CRT and it does a little, but it's not bad and certainly watchable. I think it's more when you switch from an HD to SD channel that the quality differences are so easily noticeable. This was one of my main concerns as I don't want to shell out more $ for digital cable. Of course I'm comparing a 27" CRT with a 42" Plasma, so it's not exactly apples to apples here. Only CON that I can come up with is that the remote is oddly shaped and "bottom-heavy" as somebody else put it. I've now had the tv a couple weeks and have watched a few dvd movies and plenty of cable and am 100% happy with the set. I am sitting 9-10 feet away and this TV is PLENTY big enough! The image is so crisp I can't imagine 1080p being much of a difference. The internal speakers are adequate at best; I use them for regular tv and my stereo for movies. The SRS surround really doesn't do anything surround-wise, just sounds different. The TV has now shed light on how inadequate my cheap 20-year old tower speakers are. Time to start researching sound systems...
A 720P Winner !! Written By Truong-Ky, Walnut, CA on Sunday, February 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Plasmas have come a long way since they've first come out. The contrast ratio is something else and the high def images are amazing, even at 720P. This 720P plasma looks better than some of the 1080P LCDs I've seen out there. Upon setup and direct connect to my home cable feed (no cable box), the tuner (although slowy) found 100+ channels including all the HD local broadcasts which appear in incredible HD quality. The remote is basic and my only complaint is that the remote is bottom heavy and the numbers are near the top, so direct tuning with one hand is not so comfortable. The tuner is fast in terms of channel changing, especially among the HD channels (as compared to my 19" Toshiba 720P HD tv, which is a dog when it comes to this). My viewing distance is approximately 5 feet and the HD quality looks fine from this distance, but the TV clearly reveals the flaws of the SD channels. The TV, for a plasma, is not as heavy as I thought it would be, probably 10 pounds more than my 40 LCD. Overall, very satisfied with the produce and the quality and professionalism with which the shipper (CEVA) delivered the product. They opened the box for me and had me inspected everything before having me sign off. This is my second large flat panel Samsung and I think it's a brand I'll stick with, either plasma or LCD.
Best Bang For Your Plasma Buck Written By hawsco, Yonkers NY on Sunday, January 31, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We wanted a flat screen to watch from various parts of the room, not just from a "sweet spot", and not spend over $800. Of course, for viewing angles and black levels, plasma was the natural choice, as the same pic quality on an LED/LCD TV would cost 3 times as much. The B450 is amazing. No bells and whistles (we love that), very flexible user control, fantastic blacks, rich colors and swiveling pedestal make this unit an excellent value.. Picture a natural look, not that surreal, unrealistic look of 120 and 240HZ LCDs I compared it too. The 720p is not a limitation,( cable is 1080i, anyway) and at normal viewing distances you could never tell from 1080p. Superfine patterns have a moire' effect sometimes, but they do on any tv I have looked at, with programming not originally filmed in HD. Just a basic, versitile high quality plasma at a great price!
Very Pleased Written By clemshirlee, Hot Springs, AR on Sunday, November 29, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great picture and great price and Crutchfield service was excellent as usual. Bought this TV for my elderly mother who does not need all the bells and whistles. We set it up in her living room on Thanksgiving and all the visitors were oohing and aahing. She is very happy with it.
Nice TV Written By Robert, Texas on Friday, November 06, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this TV for a little over a month now and I have love it. Deep blacks make for a great picture. I have this TV in my bedroom, low light conditions mostly, and I have the brightness set at minimum and the picture is still plenty bright. I did unfortunately find 1 dead pixel on the screen. Crutchfield was willing to replace the set free of charge although I decided to keep it as the pixel isn't highly noticable. I wish the remote illuminated, I ended up switching remotes from my 52" Samsung because that remote does illuminate. Overall very pleased.

This just doesn't make sense but then what does these days. Could be that she purchased the pistol for someone else who wasn't able legally to own one then, reports that someone took it from her. The area where the event occured is rampant with crime and drugs so go figure.
http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/...-from-propertyLARCENY: A 30-year-old woman reported that she was showing someone a pistol she owns Tuesday evening in the Fairfield Area of Huntington when the person took the pistol and fled the area. The gun was valued at $500.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
My cousins wife (who I CANNOT stand anyway) declared this mixer a piece of junk when we bought it about 1 1/2 years ago. Naturally, she has a Kitchen-Aide, so I figured she was just being a snob. Sad to say, she may have been right.We've been using the mixer about once a week or so and it's done a good job with doughs, batters and whips. My wife has begun trying to perfect a multi-grain bread recipe for my sandwiches that I take to work. Yesterday, while working the heavy dough, the mixing stopped but the motor kept running making an unhappy grinding noise. I haven't disassembled it completey but I believe the gear box is stripped. Apparently the huge motor was too much for the drive train.So we've gone from very happy with it to very disappointed. I hope my wife registered for the warranty, but she almost never does so we may be shopping for a new mixer. I wouldn't recommend this one. The attractiveness of low price is long gone and the aggravation of poor quality remains. I had a Kitchen-Aide for years that was virtually bulletproof, but gave it to my step-son. Maybe it's time for a new one.
Amount Paid (US$): $99.

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung admits his form must improve
Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung has admitted that his performances haven't been good enough so far this season, but insisted he will improve after this international break. The Korean is currently with his national team for the friendly clash with Japan, but has his mind on club matters. He said: 'I know some people haven't been satisfied with my recent performances. United we stand: Park Ji-sung (right) in action against Valencia last month 'It is not a hangover from the World Cup, but perhaps I was not mentally fully prepared for the new season. 'I'm not worried. You have many ups and downs as a player and I'm sure I will get better. 'The friendly with Japan will be the first step. This international break will be the turning point for me and my performances will improve when I return to United.' On national duty: Park trains with Korea's squad ahead of their friendly clash with Japan United have had a strange start to their Premier League, with points dropped in every one of their away matches so far. The Reds will badly want to beat West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday. He's yours for £21m!

Chen's predicament — his improbable flight to hoped-for freedom — has thrilled the many Chinese who are savvy enough to get around Internet censorship to learn about it. And it has reaffirmed for his supporters the qualities they have long admired: Chen displays a determination for upholding the law while exuding a charisma that reassures those around him.
"He's just the most extraordinary person," said activist blogger He Peirong on Friday, four days after she picked up a bloodied Chen outside his village and sped toward Beijing and shortly before she was detained by police for helping him.
"He never gives up. He's very spirited, willful and optimistic," she said.
His principled steeliness was on display in a video statement recorded while he was in hiding last week. In it, he calmly catalogs the mistreatment of him, his wife, daughter and mother while under house arrest. He names the officials who took part in the abuse and then demands an investigation and the protection of his family members, whose whereabouts are not known.
"I also ask that the Chinese government safeguard the dignity of law and the interests of the people as well as guarantee the safety of my family members," said Chen.
The 40-year-old Chen is emblematic of a new breed of activists that the Communist Party finds threatening. Often from rural and working class families, these "rights defenders," as they are called, are unlike the students and intellectuals from the elite academies and major cities who led the Tiananmen Square democracy movement.
The backgrounds of these new activists have helped them tap into the simmering grievances about a rich-poor gap, farmland expropriations, corruption and unbridled official power that are fueling the 180,000 protests that experts estimate rock China every year.

Oh yeah, so I'm going to JACON (an Orlando anime convention) for all three days, starting tomorrow. May 21-23.
I'll be at Artist's Alley pretty much all day, running away only periodically to visit the dealer's room and to ease my biological functions (eating, killing, etc.)
Since I put up my "Commission time!" journal entry, I've gotten alot of commissions. I'm doing fine completing them, but I still have too much free time
Anyway, after JACON is over I'll put the Commission info back, with a few tweaks and changes. In the meantime, here's a link to the Commission info if you still want it:
Hopefully I'll have a more defined price for CGing. Just keep in mind that for a $15 CG you won't get very much--That is, if I work 3 hours on your CG and you only paid $15 for it, I'm making even less than minimum wage. It's still cheap even if I only work on it for 2 hours

Recent studies have revealed the intrinsic histone methyltransferase (HMTase) activity of the EED-EZH2 complex and its role in Hox gene silencing, X inactivation, and cancer metastasis. In this study, we focus on the function of individual components. We found that the HMTase activity requires a minimum of three components-EZH2, EED, and SUZ12-while AEBP2 is required for optimal enzymatic activity. Using a stable SUZ12 knockdown cell line, we show SUZ12 knockdown results in cell growth defects, which correlate with genome-wide alteration on H3-K27 methylation as well as upregulation of a number of Hox genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay identified a 500 bp region located 4 kb upstream of the HoxA9 transcription initiation site as a SUZ12 binding site, which responds to SUZ12 knockdown and might play an important role in regulating HoxA9 expression. Thus, our study establishes a critical role of SUZ12 in H3-lysine 27 methylation and Hox gene silencing.

I don't even have the nodes, apparently. > /dev/usb is empty Hi Declan, Just to add a bit to what others have already said. I recently tackled a similar problem, trying to get my Canon Digital Ixus 400 working with LFS 5.0. After a lot of tinkering, I came to the conclusion that the only way to get a direct connection is to install gphoto2. First I took the lazy way out: on my Knoppix / Debian partition, I just did apt-get install gphoto2. However, if you want to build gphoto2 from source, you'll need to build several libraries and a couple of installer programs. See www.gphoto.org: >> Nowadays, most people will want to use gphoto2 on the command line and the gtkam GUI with contemporary USB cameras delivering EXIF images. So you'll have to get and compile libexif, libusb, libgphoto2, gphoto2, and gtkam. ... All the software modules libusb, libexif, libexif-gtk, exif, gexif, libgphoto2, gphoto2, and gtkam use an automake-based build system. This build system has to be initialized before you can use it in the ./configure && make && make install manner you know. This initialization requires a few specialized build tools like libtoolize, gettextize and pkg-config. Make sure you have these installed. Then run the ./ autogen.sh script contained in each of the CVS modules which does the build system initialization for you. >> That sounded complicated. So instead I decided to install a USB card reader. That was relatively easy. Because I don't use modules, I compiled SCSI and USB support into the kernel and added this to /etc/fstab: usbdev /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,noauto,user,devmode=0666 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat noauto,user 0 0 As someone already mentioned, you don't need /dev/usb. And it worked - until a couple of days ago. Now all of a sudden the lights on my USB card reader don't come on any more. Back to the drawing board. Paul -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/paul.bailey/ --

Connecting Families to Senior Living
Call a Senior Living Advisor

Last Updated: March 29, 2014
By Jeannette Franks, PhD
Type 1 diabetes affects 5% of all people with diabetes and occurs mostly in people under the age of 20. In this condition, the pancreas produces insufficient insulin to maintain normal glucose (blood sugar) levels.
The vast majority of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by hyperglycemia (excess blood sugar) and insulin resistance. It can cause not only vision loss, but kidney failure, nerve damage, cardiovascular (heart and other artery blockage) disease, as well as increased infections and slowed healing, sometimes resulting in amputation. Type 2 diabetes in seniors is particularly problematic.
The most common initial symptoms of type 2 diabetes are increased thirst and frequent urination. Excess glucose in your bloodstream sucks water from tissues, forcing you to want to take in more liquid and consequently excrete more fluid.
Before an obvious symptom appears, type 2 diabetes is frequently asymptomatic for many years because it develops slowly. Often it seems like something else is going on. For example:
In order to understand what causes diabetes, it's helpful to first understand a little about how your body normally uses insulin. After you eat, your body breaks down carbohydrates from bread, rice, pasta, vegetables, fruits, and other foods into sugar molecules, especially glucose. However, glucose cannot enter your cells without the help of insulin, which the pancreas produces continuously in a healthy individual. As the blood sugar increases after a meal, insulin production also increases. The insulin unlocks cells so that glucose can enter them. When a person has diabetes either the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, or cells begin to resist the insulin. When that happens, sugar can build up in the blood and begin to cause the symptoms described above.
Just like heart disease or certain cancers, probably all these risk factors interact. Just because one of your parents may have died of a heart attack does not necessarily mean that you will. But it does increase the statistical probability. And conversely, just because your family may have instilled in you a lifestyle of healthy eating and abundant exercise doesn't mean that you will never have type 2 diabetes. But your chances of a longer, healthier life would be much better than for an obese person with a sedentary lifestyle.
Often we discover that we have type 2 diabetes after going to the doctor for something else altogether. Both the American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend a fasting glucose test after age 45, and if normal, every 3 years thereafter. You might want to begin screening earlier if you have any of the risk factors above.
Complications, if type 2 diabetes is not controlled
Gradual and permanent weight loss is probably the single most effective treatment, as well as the best prevention. The preferred and best way to do this is to slowly decrease your caloric intake and, at the same time, increase your level of exertion. It may sound simplistic, but the two major causes of type 2 diabetes in seniors really are eating too much and exercising too little. The best way to prevent it is to eat less and exercise more, but this is understandably more difficult than it sounds in today's modern world.
Food is often much more than mere sustenance, and can be a symbolic representation of love, comfort, family ties, and celebration, so it is much more challenging to diet than is usually acknowledged. In addition, with time consumed by work and commuting, we often turn to unhealthy processed and fast foods. It is far faster and easier to grab a ready-made pizza than create a healthier one from scratch.
Today most of us in North America rely heavily on automobiles for transportation and many of us live in areas where bicycles and pedestrians are not as safe as cars. Europeans often walk to the store, use public transportation a few blocks from home, and frequently stroll for enjoyment, while we in the US increasingly do not. And the fact that Americans typically spend significant hours in front of the television and computer only adds to our growing inactivity.
Start slowly with small but permanent changes. Cut out dessert except for small portions at very special occasions, or stick to sugar-free pudding with artificially-sweetened topping and fresh fruit. Walk around the block daily. Over a period of weeks and months add physical activities that you find easy to schedule on a regular basis. Gardening and housework both count as exercise, and walking briskly is the best of all. These activities need to be maintained for the rest of your life.
As an example of how dramatic an effect such changes can have, after my widowed father moved into assisted living and was presented with healthier meal choices and opportunities to walk more, his type 2 diabetes improved so much that he was able to stop his medication.
Working closely with your medical team is crucial. You will need regular medical check-ups and perhaps even self-administered blood tests daily. Technology now makes this relatively easy and painless.
A nutritionist may counsel you in making dietary changes. Generally speaking, people with diabetes are advised to increase intake of vegetables and whole grains and to decrease animal fats and sugars-just as we all should do. Those who drink should do so in extreme moderation-no more than two alcoholic beverages daily for men and half that for women.
Learn to de-stress your life. Try to schedule entire days where you do only things that you enjoy. Relaxing practices such as meditation, tai chi, yoga, and Nia (a dance form) can be very effective in reducing daily stresses, as can having regular massages.
Find trusted people you can talk to with confidence and confidentiality, whether they are friends, family, or a paid therapist. Studies have shown that people who meet with the same small group of friends on a regular basis live longer and get sick less often.
Consult your medical team about an exercise program. The recommendations may surprise you. Once-typical advice used to suggest an hour three times a week that included 5 minutes warm up, 20 minutes aerobics, 20 minutes upper and lower body weight training, and 5 minutes stretching. This is now considered the bare minimum. Current standards now urge exercising as much as 6 days a week vigorously for at least an hour.
Be sure to start slowly and gradually. Working with a trained, certified advisor-for example at a gym or senior center-may help to get you started safely and effectively.
Many malls offer special walking times for older people, enhancing exercise enjoyment with sociability and some shopping.
If diet and exercise are insufficient, numerous drug options help manage type 2 diabetes in seniors. These medications can be very expensive financially and can cause some potentially serious physiological side effects. Work closely with your medical team and contact your doctor immediately if you experience any nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, or yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.
Be especially alert for any negative drug interactions. Drugs that are safe taken alone may combine dangerously with other medications, including over-the-counter drugs. Be sure to inform your doctor ofeverythingyou take, including non-prescription drugs. Keep a close eye on all medications you take over a long period of time. Our bodies' reactions to drugs change over time, and as we age, even a drug that was safe for many years may produce a negative reaction when you are older. We also change our tolerance of recreational drugs such as alcohol and even caffeine.
Major commonly-used medications for type 2 diabetes:
There are many other medications as well, and often these drugs are used in combination. It is extremely important to find a health-care provider to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches to treatment so that you can fully understand your options.
Like many health conditions, prevention is the best cure. With or without diabetes, make a commitment to life-long healthy choices. If you have diabetes (and even if you don't, but are over 50):
It is one of the inequities of aging that as we get older, it becomes more difficult to reach our toes, but toenails keep getting thicker every year. Eventually a pedicure becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. Most senior centers offer low cost footcare from trained professionals. All this may sound overwhelming. But following these recommendations can significantly reduce the risk of premature death and unnecessary pain and suffering. Dealing with diabetes is a life-long commitment. Keep in mind that a healthy lifestyle is not only the best treatment; it's the best prevention.

Grygera blow strikes Juve
21 May 2009 - 07:37:13
Juventus defender Zdenek Grygera's season could be over after he picked up a thigh muscle injury during training.
The Czech Republic international was injured towards the end of new coach Ciro Ferrara's first training session.
"Grygera complained of a muscular problem on his left leg and he went back to the dressing room," read a club statement.
Grygera has already been ruled out of Sunday's encounter with Siena and is unlikely to figure in the season-ending game with Lazio.
Juve are currently one point clear of Fiorentina in the race for the final Champions League automatic qualifying place.

I'm preparing to bottle a batch tomorrow and giving some bottles a good oxy soak. However the labels from Dos XX bottles are not coming off as easily as the others. Seems like the labels are a foil like material. Has anyone else had this issue? Do i just need to soak longer or am i wasting time with these bottles? Thanks!
They will come off, but some just take longer than others due to the paper and/or glue used. Try using hot water and a little stronger concentration of oxi and more time and they should eventually come off.
Soak it a bit longer; I have found some champagne bottles have a foil label, but seem to use the same glue.
Dos Equis bottles are Da Debil! Use a chisel! Or a grinder...

What do you expect from the beer the most interesting man in the world drinks.
If you're planning to use a lever style wing-capper, better spend 2 minutes and try to cap an empty bottle before you go to the trouble of removing labels. What I found was that while I could get the cap to crimp on, the crimp wasn't tight enough, and the cap would easily spin on the top of the bottle. If you look at the ridge on Dos Equis bottles, it is rather small & higher up, compared to most pop-offs. Good luck with it. Maybe your combination will work better than mine.
Scratch the labels with a knife and they will come off faster after a soak. I don't like bottles with the smaller flange. I can cap them but I have to be more careful. Beside those bottles are the lightest I've used.
To echo what everyone else said, give them a longer soak. I have six of them and I let them soak overnight and while the labels didn't fall off, I could pull them off pretty easy. I think I had to scrub the glue off though.

barely any info. srsly. boring as hell to watch
TF ult range makes him garbage tier. now he has to run halfway to a sidelane to ult into it. doing that he cant ult to other lanes at all... way to break him riot
Senior Recruiter
Nerf to Galio's damage? Why? He never did any. Though I'm thankful for the buff to his durability, so I'll take it. Maybe I can finally start playing him more often.
So, I would think Gangplank nerfs would be notable enough for the patch preview what with all the crying about him being OP. Any hints/insight you can give as to what you nerfed about him?
tf and panths ults need more range.. they need to be able to ult to their outer turret from the pad.. its as simple as that. you have just with this update nerfed into the ground two semi viable champs. and one viable champ. would you get your ****ing act together and stop changing the game let your god dam players learn how to counter tactics like split pushing and support stacking with one carry. this game would actually then be what it is said to be a MOBA.
You guys all need to fix the weird ' = ? issue. It?s makin? all your posts difficult to follow, ?cause I feel like the sentence?s always ending on me.
Doesn't matter how much tankyness you give Galio, he can't tank unless his ultimate is up, which is usually never.

Alzheimer's Association Memories in the Making® is a creative art expression program for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Even after people with dementia have lost the ability to use words, they are often able to express thoughts and emotions and to share memories through painting with watercolors. The experience offers an opportunity for the essence of who they are and what they care about to shine through. The artist names and creates their piece; making it their own creation and story. Pieces are selected from the workshops that have taken place throughout local facilities in the Quad Cities area. The artwork is then professionally framed and auctioned at the Memories in the Making Art Auction.
Please check back for details regarding the 2015 event. If you'd like to sponsor the event or have questions, contact Bill Horrell (firstname.lastname@example.com) in the Quad Cities office at 563.324.1022.

Exactly, if someone leaves their wallet or cellphone around, then try to track that person down and give it back to them. If theres money less then a $5 on the floor, I'll take it, if it's more I'll try to find the owner. But if someone leaves money in my mailbox, which clearly shows that they want me to have it otherwise they wouldn't have put it in my mailbox in the first place, I'll keep it.
Hell I remember two years ago in school, in the morning. Some teacher I don't even know dropped about 4-5 $20 bills on the floor while talking on the phone, she didn't even notice she dropped it. I simply picked up the money, ran up to her, and handed it back.

A Vine Odyssey
If ever there were an example of how complex and intertwined the global wine village has become, it's Pinotage. The grape variety began life in South Africa in 1925, when Abraham Perold, a Stellenbosch University viticulturalist, crossed Burgundy's Pinot Noir with the Rhône Valley's Cinsault variety (then called Hermitage—thus the Pinotage tag). The cross created a grape intense in color, which, when aged in oak, produces a full-bodied red wine that can take on notes such as spice, ripe plum, red currant, leather, smoke and tar.
Traditionally, identifying a Pinotage was pretty straightforward. As a general rule of thumb, if you stumbled across an example on a restaurant wine list or in a wine bar, you could be pretty sure it came from South Africa. Not any more. Brazil and California both produce interesting examples of the grape variety, as does New Zealand—which made for an exciting find when I came across a Pinotage from Hawkes Bay at a tasting in early February.
Drinking Now
Sauvignon Blanc
Greywacke, Marlborough, New Zealand
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol: 13.6%
Price: About £12, or €14
Kevin Judd hasn't disappointed with his new venture Greywacke, his first since leaving Cloudy Bay after 25 years. He produces a number of wines, but if there is one in the portfolio that really excites, it is the Sauvignon Blanc, produced on soil that contains a high proportion of the greywacke stones from which the winery derives its name. A first sip and one is immediately reminded of what it was that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc did to transfix our palates all those years ago. On the nose and in the mouth, the wine meets you with a massive intensity of flavor, stimulating the taste buds with a grapefruit zestiness and following up with notes such as lemongrass, passion fruit and a noticeable green herbaceousness. The finish surprises with its restraint and dry, tangy, mineral length.
The wine in question, Kidnapper Cliffs' Pinotage, is the latest venture from Neil McCallum, a vintner who has built his reputation on making outstanding Pinot Noir in a very European style. Dr. McCallum first planted a vineyard on free-draining soils in Martinborough, a region to the south of Hawkes Bay on New Zealand's North Island, in 1979. Establishing a precise viticultural system (he famously introduced reflective sheeting placed under the vines to achieve optimum ripeness), Dr. McCallum named the project Dry River; its wines are now recognized as some of the finest Pinot Noirs outside of Burgundy. He has since sold the winery but retains a presence. His new project, Kidnapper Cliffs, is a partnership between Dry River and Te Awa, a Hawkes Bay winery known for the quality of its Merlot. The wines will be released this spring and they are worth hunting down. Their Pinotage leans heavily on the Hermitage influence and reminded me of a northern Rhône Syrah, with its graceful pepperiness and soft, ripe plum character. It was seriously impressive and, placed in a blind tasting, would be sure to flummox the unwitting taster. A grape variety that began life in South Africa, now finds a home in New Zealand and recalls a wine produced in France.
Another grape variety that made its name in France but has now found a new lease on life in New Zealand is, of course, Sauvignon Blanc. Before it was planted in Marlborough, on the northern tip of the South Island, it was associated with a bone-dry taste and Sancerre, France. In New Zealand, it has taken on a marked tropical-fruit character in the form of gooseberry, lychee and lime.
One of the early pioneers was Cloudy Bay, which in the late 1980s rapidly became the benchmark Sauvignon Blanc producer in the country. That was largely because of a young winemaker named Kevin Judd, who in 2009, after 25 years with the winery, left Cloudy Bay to go it alone as a photographer and winemaker at his own winery, Greywacke, on land he bought and planted in the mid-'80s. He has actually published two volumes of photographs: "The Color of Wine" and "The Landscape of New Zealand Wine." His first vintage at Greywacke, the 2010, has just been released and it marks a serious return to form for Mr. Judd, pulling off the old Marlborough trick of combining an intense explosion of fruit with a powerful, dry minerality on the palate. If anything, Greywacke characterizes the complexities of the modern wine world. It is made by a man who was born in England, grew up in Australia but makes wine in New Zealand from a grape variety that was made famous in a hilltop town in France, where it tasted of flint and nettles, but is now known for its tropical-fruit character and is produced on the slopes of Marlborough. Try and get your head around that.

Meet Pasi - the Husky Farm Owner
Fall in love with the winter wilderness and it could completely change your life.
Pasi Ikonen is a prime example of what the pull of Lapland can do. A nine-to-five working week in central London was left far behind when he moved with his English wife Anna to Enontekiö, on the edge of Finland's wilderness. Once they had settled, they bought dozens of dogs and started a husky farm. This is without either of them having local connections or any experience of sledge dogs. There was nothing else for it: the call of the Arctic was too much to resist.
Both Pasi and Anna have a background in extreme sports, competing over the years in challenging wilderness contests around the world. When their sporting careers came to an end, adventure was put on the back burner and ordinary life took over. However, it didn't take long before they realised that they were missing the wilderness and the north, especially during the winter when it really comes to life.
In Lapland, swapping the hustle and bustle of ski resorts and cities to the peace and quiet of the wilderness takes mere minutes.

Schröder Scores 7 Points, Germany Beats Finland
Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schröder scored seven points off the bench to help Germany beat Finland 74-67 in a tune-up game before the 2015 EuroBasket qualifying round in August.
Schröder, who only joined the team Wednesday after playing in the Las Vegas Summer League with Atlanta last week, figures to play a prominant role with the team but was not a starter Sunday.
Germany is automatically entered into the second round of qualifying because they did not qualify past the first round of EuroBasket last year. They are in Group C of the second qualifying round along with Austria, Poland and Luxembourg and will tip off Aug. 10. They will play each of their three group opponents twice and must finish at least second to have a chance at advancing to the final round.
Finland qualified for the 2014 FIBA World Cup and will participate in the tournament later this summer.

Safeway Announces Website Accessibility And Usability Enhancements To Its Online Grocery Delivery Website Benefitting Shoppers With Visual Impairments
PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway Inc. (NYSE: SWY) today announced a comprehensive initiative to make its online grocery shopping website more accessible and usable for Safeway shoppers with visual impairments. The site enhancements are the result of collaboration between Safeway and several visually impaired customers.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130625/SF38175LOGO)
Safeway has adopted the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 level AA as its accessibility standard and has already made significant enhancements to its online shopping website to meet this standard and will continue to do so over the next year.
The customers praised Safeway's announcement:
"I have been a Safeway customer for years, and with this initiative Safeway has assumed a leadership role in its industry," said Northern California resident Rebecca Welz-Griffith. "I love the convenience of Safeway's online grocery shopping, and have already seen significant improvements as a result of the commitment announced today." "I'm thrilled that Safeway is recognizing the needs of its customers with visual impairments like me," said Southern California resident Cindy Flerman. "The changes announced today will make it easier for so many of Vons' customers throughout Southern California." "Safeway has a long history of supporting our communities and people with disabilities. This decision is an important step towards helping our customers who are blind or visually impaired have a better shopping experience," said Larree Renda, Safeway Executive Vice President. About the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) The WCAG 2.0 Guidelines are promulgated by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and ensure that online content is more accessible and usable to persons with visual and other disabilities. The Guidelines do not affect the content or look and feel of a website. They are of particular benefit to blind computer users who use voice output or magnification technology on their computers and mobile devices and who, like some individuals with mobility impairments, rely on a keyboard instead of a mouse for navigation.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Please forgive my lack of instuctional ability.
*If you do this you do it at your own risk.*
First remove thr trigger guard assembly. Rermove the trigger from the triggergaurd.
Then remove the sear from the receiver.
That's it. Your ready to begin.
Polish the two little humps on the trigger that contact the sear.
Polish the area on the sear that the trigger contacts. While your at it polish the tip of the sear that contacts the hammer on the bolt. DO NOT REMOVE ANY METAL. Just lightly polish
That's the easy part. Now we move on to the hammer.
Be very careful not to remove to much metal here or you will have problems. .01" will do. It just needs to have a slight downward angle (like my horrible graphic indicates). Just do a little at a time till you get the desired release. Make sure it is even from side to side. Unfortunately it does require allot of disassembly and reassembly. Once you get the angle right polish it up to a mirror like finnish.
Now your done with the trigger pull. If you don't want to elliminate the two stage then do every thing the same except don't angle the hammer very much at all.
Next is the overtravel stop. There is a slot on the outter rear of the triggerguard. Drill a hole and Tap it. You now can run a screw through it . Tighten down to desired depth to elliminate overtravel. Use Loc-Tight to keep it in place. I also used a small clear rubber hose that barely fit over the screw to cover up the threads. Shrinktube would work well too.
I've done three rifles so far and they turned out really good. I tested my own by (EMPTY GUN) cocking the gun, leaving the safety off and slaming the butt on the floor repeatedly and the hammer never dropped. I also held the rifle about 7' off the floor and dropped it to see if the hammer would release. It did not. I don't usually treat my gun this way but it was the first one I did and I wanted to make sure it was safe to use.
This does require attention to detail and patience. Remember when removing metal from a gun part to fit it remove only a little at a time. It's lways easier to deal with needing to remove more than to have to buy a new part cause of to much metal being removed.
If you do this and your safety will almost engage but not quite don't freak out I can help with that. Again remove metel from the hammer slowly!
My trigger used to be a slightly gritty 6.3 lbs. Now it breaks clean ay 3 lbs. It made it allot eaier to make precise shots. My groups at 100 yards went from 1.75"-2" to .89"-1.5" averages depending on the load used.
I may have left out details. Like I said I'm no good at instruction. Ask as many questions as you would like. I'll be more than happy to help.

This difference has always bothered her, she says, because she believes that play is critical for children's developing emotions, creativity, and intelligence. But when she learned that her daughter's middle school had done away with recess, and even free time after lunch, she decided to start fighting for play.
"It seemed almost cruel," she says. "Play is important for children – it's something so obvious it's almost hard to articulate. How can you talk about childhood without talking about play? It's almost as if they are trying to get rid of childhood."
Taylor joined a group of parents pressuring the principal to let their children have a recess, citing experts such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends that all students have at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. They issued petitions and held meetings. And although the school has not yet agreed to change its curriculum, Taylor says she feels their message is getting more recognition.
She is not alone in her concerns. In recent years, child development experts, parents, and scientists have been sounding an increasingly urgent alarm about the decreasing amount of time that children – and adults, for that matter – spend playing. A combination of social forces, from a No Child Left Behind focus on test scores to the push for children to get ahead with programmed extracurricular activities, leaves less time for the roughhousing, fantasizing, and pretend worlds advocates say are crucial for development.

Gooseberrymoon is a small design studio based in North Wales run by Nicola Jones.
With a 'less is more' asthetic and a combination of my favourite design elements including print, pattern, colour, calligraphy and typography, I create beautifully simple paper goods for weddings and everyday. All designs are created from my original hand-drawn illustrations which are scanned and tweaked in photoshop to create patterns and motifs for greetings cards, notebooks, art prints and wedding stationery.
If you see something in my shop that you like but would like a different colour or personalising, please get in touch I'm more than happy to help create something perfect for you.
I'm inspired by the simple things in life, like shapes and sillouettes found in nature, and colour combinations and patterns in everyday surroundings. Berries, leaves and seedheads are just some of the things that spark my imagination.
