I wanted a windshield that allowed me to see over it so riding into the sun in the evening would not blind me. I found what I wanted with a 15" Memphis Shade. It was about 70% of what an OEM windshield would have cost from the dealer. Also, when I went to my local dealership after installing it, they were impressed by how much thicker it was than an OEM windshield. Needless to say, I was very satisfied with the product and the ordering experience from J&P.

The Memphis Shades replacement windshield was a perfect fit for the Harley hardware. The windshield is much clearer than the stock with zero visual distortion.

the windshield worked great, I had to drill 1 hole though.It is quite a bit thicker than the original shield from Harley. Perfect height for me, I am 5ft 4 inch.

• Some model years of OEM windshields used different kinds of plastic, please refer to the chart to determine if this will fit your model
• Windshields once mounted cannot be returned. Returned windshields must be like new condition with no evidence of wear or mount marks. Be careful to check fitment before mounting your new windshield

Political leanings do make a difference, but sometimes in subtle ways, the researchers found. Students feel less comfortable and give their professors lower ratings if they believe them to hold political views different from their own. But variables, such as the professor's level of caring and objectivity, can moderate the situation.
Mr. Woessner teaches at Penn State Harrisburg, and Ms. Kelly-Woessner at Elizabethtown College. After the 9/11 attacks, "the classroom environment became very politicized," she says. In discussions about war and antiterrorism measures, "you saw students really taking sides ... and you had to wonder to what extent your views on that were influencing your class."
She polled her students to make sure it wasn't obvious whether she was a Republican or Democrat (she's the latter). Her husband also took care to present various sides in class, but outside class, he dropped a policy of keeping his conservative views quiet. With so much liberal opposition being voiced on campus in advance of the Iraq war, he says, "being the political minority, I had a certain responsibility to be visible."

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Authors Note: This is one in series of reviews I am posting evaluating the hardware products I placed into my new home built computer. I am hopeful that this will help others make an informed choice when embarking on a similar adventure. My experimental, but thus far successful odyssey into the world of wireless networking continues. So far I have used equipment conforming to 802.11b, 11Mbps (megabytes per second), 22.5 Mbps and recently upgraded to 802.11g, 54 Mbps standard. My setup now consists of the Linksys Wireless-G WAP54G Wireless Access Point, 1 LinksysWireless-G WMP54G PCI Network Adapter (spouses PC), 1 Wireless-G WPC54G CardBus Adapter (notebook computer), and a newly acquired Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G (my new built workstation) **See below for a link to my review of these products.** Wireless-G is the next wave in wireless networking technology. Wireless-G Wireless Access Points (WAPs), and Network Interface Cards (NICs) are capable of transmitting and receiving data at speeds of up to 54Mbps, almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country, and indeed around the world. Wireless-G devices can utilize either the 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz band, and some can utilize both bands. Those Wireless-G devices that share the 2.4GHz radio band, can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment, while those which utilize the 5.0 GHz band will interoperate only with Wireless-G (802.11a, 54Mbps) equipment. Dual-band Wireless-G equipment are capable of interoperating with all three protocols; i.e. 802.11a (54Mbps), 802.11b (11 Mbps), and 802.11g (11Mbps & 54Mbps). When I recently rebuilt my primary workstation I found to my chagrin that my existing Linksys Wireless-G WMP54G PCI NIC would not work in my new AOpen A4C Max motherboard. Try as I might (a few BIOS upgrades and disabling the card) I could not get it to work, due to the integration of the Broadcom Gigabit PCI LAN Chip into the board. Enter the Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G. The Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and supports the following wireless protocols: 802.11b and 802.11g. The Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G can transmit and receive networking traffic in a range of 1 54Mbps. I choose the Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54Gfor three reasons; 1. The card operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz the same frequency band I currently use for my wireless communications; 2. The Linksys name is one I have come to trust for reliability and cutting edge technology; 3. The Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G is USB version. 2.0 compliant. Installation: The installation of the Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G is a very straight forward process: just plug it inwith the computer onand it starts working! My Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System (OS) found it and installed the necessary drivers, and made it ready for use. There is no software to install; thought Linksys does provide a utility to configure the card to work with your wireless setup, which I admit a non Windows XP user might need. However, Windows XP Professional is designedonce a wireless device is installedto seek out available wireless networks and configure the card accordingly; i.e. assign it an IP address, if DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used on the network. I use DHCP on my combined wired and wireless network, but I assigned the Linksys Wireless-G WUSB54G an IP address because my computer serves as my Internet gateway. If you do decide to install the software, good luck. Like a lot of Linksys software utilities of lateeven those downloaded directly from the Linksys websitethe software refuses to load; e.g. the autostart start, and then stops abruptly. So I opened Windows Explorer, browsed to the CD and double-clicked on the setup.exe under the Utility directory; no dice. Only a token portion of the software loaded, enough of a token to keep render the card useless. So I uninstalled the software and left it uninstall; as I pointed out above if you are using the Windows XP OS there will be no need for the software that ships with the card. Will it install under Windows 98/Me/Se/2000?, Perhaps, but no longer owing a computer with any of those OSs installed, I cannot credibility speak to it. First Impressions: I have mixed feelings about the Wireless-G WUSB54G Linksys surprisingly dropped the ball in the design of this card. While the Wireless-G WUSB54G occasionally transmits and receives at 54Mbps, the speed of the card fluctuates on a continual basis reaching as low as 1MBps, several times a minute! I have placed the card is various locations around my loft not more than 75 feet from the Wireless Access Point (WAP), but still the fluctuating carrier speed continues to my frustration. And while the antenna is small, it is larger than the one on the Linksys Wireless-G WPC54G CardBus Adapter installed in my notebook, which manages to maintains a consistent carrier speed of 54Mbps. This annoying pervasive fluctuating carrier speed has affected at times the speed at which I access the Internet and move file to and from my workstation and the rest of the network. Linksys offers no advice on how to fix this problem other then the usual move the adapter around and adjust the antenna pronouncements, which do little to fix the problem. My advice: dont but this card unless your computer will not support a PCI NIC. Features & Specifications: Compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b (2.4GHz) Standards Support USB 2.0 with up to 54Mbps, High-Speed Data Transfer Rate with Automatic Fallback Plug-and-Play Operation Provides Easy Setup Supports up to 128-bit WEP Encryption Security Compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP Standards: IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, USB 1.1, USB 2.0 Channels: 802.11b/802.11g; 11 Channels (US, Canada) LEDs: Power, Link Receive Sensitivity: 54Mbps @ -65dBm, 11Mbps @ -80dBm Antenna: 2dBi Security Features: WEP Encryption WEP key bits: 64, 128-bit Warranty: 3 Year Conclusion: The Wireless-G WUSB54G receives a C+ from me. While I give the card high marks for ease of installation and configurationthanks in part to Windows XP Professionalbut I give it low marks for overall performance. If you are looking to make the leap to the Wireless-G protocol, and leave far behind the vestiges of the now obsolete (in my mind anyway) 11Mps standard, shy away from the Wireless-G WUSB54G unless no other option is open to you.

Opening Theme-
"Haruka Kanata (遥か彼方)" by: Asian Kung-Fu Generation (Japan)
"Rise" by Jeremy Sweet and Ian Nickus (U.S. TV)
Naruto, Saskue, and Sakura have all made it the tower, and read what was on the billboard on the wall. Sakura figured that it wanted them to open the scrolls. When they opened both of them one said "person" while the other said "jin." Saskue told them to drop the scrolls because it was a summoning inscription. Once the scrolls dropped smoke started to rise from them and Iruka appeared. They wonder what he is doing here, and he tells them that they get to greet them once they made it to the tower, and give them a message. He tells them that they made it just in time, and congratulations on passing the second exam. He goes on to say he would like to treat them to Ichiraku ramen but, he gets cut off by Naruto being so excited about getting to eat ramen. He asks Naruto to let him finish but Naruto is to fired up about ramen to even care what he had to say. Sakura finally tells him to shut up, and Iruka can tell he is restless as ever. Saskue ends up asking Iruka what would have happened if they had opened the scrolls during the exam.
Iruka goes on to tell them that this test was to test their mission completion ability. If they had opened up the scrolls that would have been breaking the rules, and that they had the order to knock out any of the examiners until the second exam ended. Once hearing this Saskue asks Naruto and Sakura if they were glad they didn't open it. Of course they are both glad that they didn't open it. Sakura asks Iruka what does the text mean on the wall, because they didn't understand it. Naruto tells her who cares since they passed, but Iruka tells them that is the other message he is suppose to tell them. He tells them that it is a principal that the Hokage wrote and that they should keep it in mind as a Chuunin. He goes on to explain that "heaven" points to a head of a person, and "earth" points to the body. If they did not posses heaven they should gain knowledge and be prepared. He gives an example if Naruto is not using his brain then he should study and prepare for missions. And if they did not posses earth then they should run though the fields and seek strength. And he gives an example of Sakura, if her weakness is strength then she should train herself everyday. And if they posses heaven and earth then any dangerous mission would become a safe one. Sakura asks about the missing letter, and Iruka tells her that it is the letter symbolizing a Chuunin. And that the "human" letter goes in that spot.
He goes on to tell them that since they past the second exam they should not forget about the importance of having strength and knowledge in missions. And that they should not forget the Chuunin principal, and go on to the next step. He then says that is all he had to tell them. Naruto salutes him and says roger but yet Iruka has a worried look on his face. He tells them not to push themselves in the next exam. He was most worried about Naruto, but Naruto tells him that he has graduated from the academy and that he wasn't a kid anymore he was a ninja. Seeing that he was wrong Iruka apologizes to Naruto. He ends up thinking about all he did to make them stop from taking the exam, and realizes he doesn't know their abilities anymore. Back up in the tower, Anko is still feeling a little bit of pain from the cursed seal, but thanks to the third Hokage it was feeling better. They all beginning to talk about Orochimaru and wonder why he was back in the village again. Anko remembers why he was there, and Hokage speaks up and say Saskue right. They end up getting interpreted by another examiner telling them that 21 teams have passed the second exam. And that according to the Chuunin regulations they were going to have to do preliminary matches for the first time in five years. The third Hokage tells Anko that they will go on with the exam and also find out what Orochimaru is up to as well. All the ones that passed the exam are in a big arena type of building, Anko tells them congratulations on passing the exam. She notices that 78 people started the exam but only 21 passed, she wanted to make half of them drop out, and she was thinking that only less then 10 would be able to pass. Looking around Ino realizes that Saskue's team made it.
Shikamaru tells her it would have been trouble some to help them and have them not pass. Gai starts to tell Kakashi that his team must be lucky to pass, and that they were not going to get any father with his team around. Kakashi turns around and asks him if he said anything or not, Gai is shocked that he wasn't even listening to him. Rock Lee ends up telling himself that he will shine for Gai-sensei, and he starts to remember what had happen to him earlier. He tells himself that he never wants to see the tears of his important person again, and that he will not loose. Zaku vows that he is going to get his revenge on Saskue for breaking his arms. As everyone stands there each of the sensei realizes something about there teams. Sakura realizes that all of the Konoha ninjas have made it as well. Saskue though stilling feeling pain from his cursed mark doesn't think it is a good situation. Anko tells them that they will hear rules from the third Hokage about the third exam. The Hokage starts by telling them the true purpose of the exam. He tells them why they do this is exam with other villages. It is to "maintain good relations with the allied nations", and "heighten the level of the ninja."
He tells them not to let this deceive them, that this exam so to "speak" was the epitome of a war between the allied nations. He tells them that back in history nations use to fight all the time, so they decided to pick a place to where they could all fight, thus the Chunnin exam was made. In the third exam federal lords, and famous people from different countries who may be potential clients are invited here as guest, and that they would see their battles. If a country shows great strength then that country would get a lot of jobs, while the weaker ones would decrease. And at the same time countries can show how much they have grown and that they posses excellent military powers. And the greater countries could put pressure on the smaller countries. He also goes on to tell them that the exam was a place for them to show off the ninja power of one's country. And that since with this exam they put their lives on the line, it has a meaning because their predecessors have fought and dreamed of being in the Chunnin exam. And that this was a life or death battle for your dream and villages dignity. Gaara speaks up and tells the third Hokage that he doesn't care about any of that, he wants to hear about the life or death rules of the exam. The third Hokage gets ready to start to tell them the rules when Geekou, one of the judges tells him that he will explain the rules. The Hokage tells him to go ahead. Geekou tells everyone it is nice to meet them, and it seems that he has a really bad cough as well. He tells them that before he can explain the rules there is something he needs for them to do.

In Sandy's wake, Verizon stores offer free charging, domestic calls
(Read article summary)Verizon has also rolled out a fleet of mobile communications centers to West Virginia, Ohio, and New Jersey – all areas hit hard by the storm.
Verizon is rolling out a fleet of mobile charging stations to West Virginia, Ohio, and New Jersey residents affected by Hurricane Sandy. At each Wireless Emergency Communication Center, as Verizon calls the trucks, you can charge your phone or in some cases hop on a laptop to send relatives an email. You can find a full list of station locations here – and no, you don't need to be a Verizon customer to take advantage of the service.
Meanwhile, at least for the time being, charging and domestic calls are free at Verizon stores across the northeast.
As Marguerite Reardon of CNET notes today, compared to rival AT&T, Verizon – which saw its NYC headquarters flooded – seems to be doing pretty well.

Bi-Lo Holdings' public relations agency has confirmed that Aiken's York Street Bi-Lo will not close, but instead will move into the York Street Reid's location.
It will be Reid's that will close instead of Bi-Lo, contrary to what a press release by the stores' parent company reported last month.
In a Feb. 25 press release, Bi-Lo Holdings announced it was closing 13 Bi-Lo, Harveys, Reid's, Sweetbay and Winn Dixie stores across South Carolina, Florida and Georgia. The press release included the July 12 closing of the Bi-Lo located at 1149 York St. in Aiken, but there was no mention of the nearby Reid's store at 1048 York St.
The company's PR agency, St. John & Partners, elaborated on the move and said it is part of the company's effort to retire the Reid's banner name.
"In October, we announced our intention to retire the Reid's banner name and convert Reid's stores to Bi-Lo stores," said Kelly Bell, communications manager for the public relations agency. "Exact store schedules and timelines for conversions have not been released yet. We anticipate conversions will begin as early as March 22 and should be complete by May 31."
While conversions are scheduled to take place by May 31, the press release stated that Aiken's York Street Bi-Lo isn't scheduled to close until July 12.
Reid's stores on average employ 85 people.
"We cannot provide an estimate for the number of employees in the Reid's location; however, the 85 associates per store average for the Bi-Lo locations is an accurate number," Bell added. "Bi-Lo Holdings intends to retain all store-level associates within the stores being acquired and operated."
The upcoming conversions and closures are part of an approval process with the Federal Trade Commission. The commission has allowed Bi-Lo Holdings to acquire several other supermarket chains including Sweetbay, Harveys and Reid's from the Delhaize Group.

Definition of flotation tank in English:
A lightproof, soundproof tank of salt water in which a person floats as a form of deep relaxation.
Example sentences
- But there are few other places imaginable that are more conducive to complete relaxation than a flotation tank.
- Though the harmonic devices remain pretty much unchanged, the softer, recessed electronic textures and a greater use of silence offer a deep listening experience that rivals the best flotation tank.
- A flotation tank is like a huge bath, about the width and length of a king-size bed.

The History of Ethiopian Jewry
Piecing together legends and stories.
A Jewish community in Ethiopia—the Beta Israel (House of Israel)—has existed for at least 15 centuries.
Because of low literacy levels, a tendency to rely on oral traditions, and nomadic lifestyles among most Ethiopians prior to the 20th century, historic material about this community is scant and unreliable. However, a tentative story can be pieced together from written records of Ethiopian rulers as well as testimony from the Beta Israel themselves.
Origins of the Community
Most likely, the Beta Israel arrived in Ethiopia between the first and sixth centuries, coming as merchants or artisans from various countries in the region.
Scholars once believed that during the Middle Ages the Beta Israel were a homogeneous group living under unified, autonomous Jewish rule. Yet new discoveries have shown that the truth is far more complex. It seems the Ethiopian Jewish community was for the most part fragmented both physically and religiously, with each Beta Israel village appointing its own spiritual and secular leaders. There was little contact between Beta Israel communities, and usually no overarching leadership uniting them.
Sometimes the Beta Israel were treated well by the Ethiopian monarchy, but at other times they suffered persecution. Many fellow Ethiopians refer to the Beta Israel as falasha (a derogatory term meaning outsider), In 1624, the ruling king's army captured many Ethiopian Jews, forced them to be baptized, and denied them the right to own land. According to local legend, some members of the Beta Israel chose suicide over conversion.
Religious Life
Since the Beta Israel community existed in isolation from other Jewish communities around the world, they developed a unique set of religious practices--in some ways quite different from what is typically considered "Jewish."
For example, an order of Ethiopian Jewish monks was founded in the 15th century to strengthen the community's religious identity and resist Christian influence. This monastic movement introduced an organized approach to religious practice, creating new religious literature and prayers, and adopting laws of ritual purity.
Historians learned about the community's religious life in the 19th century from the writings of Joseph Halevy, a French Jew who visited the area in 1867. He provided the first eyewitness account of Beta Israel life from a European Jewish perspective.
Halevy described a community that followed legal sections in the Hebrew Bible and observed laws of purity surrounding menstruation, birth, and death. They observed Shabbat and believed in values such as respecting elders, receiving guests, and visiting mourners. They referred to the Torah as Orit (possibly from the Aramaic term for the Torah, Oraita), and kept their Torah scrolls covered in colorful cloths in houses of prayer or in the homes of one of the kessim (priests).
Like today in Israel, Ethiopian Jews celebrated Sigd, a festival which commemorates the giving of the Torah. On this holiday, community members would fast, climb the highest mountain in the area, and listen to the kessim chant passages of the Hebrew Bible, particularly the Book of Nehemiah. In the afternoon they would descend, break their fast, and rejoice in their renewed acceptance of the Orit.
Missionaries and Trying Times
At the time of Halevy's report, one of the biggest challenges facing the Ethiopian Jewish community was European missionary activity. Though the community had frequently been pressured to convert by Ethiopian authorities, missionaries from abroad--with large-scale, organized missions--presented an even stronger threat.
European missionaries, well-versed in the Old Testament, were educated and skilled in debate. The Beta Israel's clergy could not compete. By providing schools and bibles written in the local language, Amharic, the missionaries challenged the community's practice and faith.
On a number of occasions the Beta Israel's monastic clergy tried to escape the missionaries' influence by leading their communities to the Promised Land. By and large, these journeys were disastrous. One particular attempt in 1862 ended in large-scale starvation and death.
Between 1882 and 1892 the regions of Ethiopia where the Beta Israel lived suffered from a famine that killed an estimated one third to one half of the Beta Israel.
The World Jewish Community
Halevy's student, Jaques Faitlovitch, was the first Jewish foreigner to work in earnest on improving conditions for the Ethiopian Jewish community. Arriving for his first visit in 1904 and returning several times in subsequent years, Faitlovitch created tiny schools in Addis Ababa for Beta Israel members, hand-picked 25 young leaders for education abroad, and acted as an emissary on behalf of the world Jewish community.
Faitlovich secured two letters from rabbis abroad acknowledging the Beta Israel as fellow Jews. The first letter, written in 1906, called the Beta Israel "our brethren, sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who dwell in Abyssinia" and "our flesh and blood." The letter, which promised to help the community in its religious education, was signed by 44 world Jewish leaders including the chief rabbis of London and Vienna and the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem.
The second letter, from 1921, was written by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the revered Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Palestine. He called on the Jewish people worldwide to save the Beta Israel--"50,000 holy souls of the house of Israel"--from "extinction and contamination."
Faitlovich's work on behalf of the Beta Israel community came to a dramatic halt with the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in1935-6. Under fascist rule, it became forbidden to practice Judaism in Ethiopia.
Some of Faitlovitch's work was undeniably controversial--he created a schism dividing the young, westernized leaders he chose from the elders of the rural communities. But, until the 1960s, no one but Faitlovitch took such a dedicated interest in the community, invested in it financially and educationally, and visited with such regularity. Moreover, it was the letters that Faitlovitch brought to Ethiopia from Kook and other contemporary Jewish leaders that allowed the Beta Israel to cling to their hopes of returning to the Promised Land, and, decades later, for world Jewry to readily accept them.

Fall 2009 Trend Report: Over-The-Knee Please
Over-the-knee boots were all over the Fall 2009 catwalks, in styles that ranged from stocking-like to trouser-like in their appearance. Thanks to the height, clothing was a lot less substantial and it was hard not to make the connection between the brevity of fabric and the recession. Not that things would be that simple, of course--these boots will undoubtedly cost quite a bit when they hit the retail floor (merchandisers put on your thinking caps). Check out our trend report from the Fall 2009 shows below.

From Sunlen Miller:
President Obama thinks he might have "some connection" with Donald Trump, or so he said to a group of students today in London.
Along with British Prime Minister David Cameron, Mr. Obama today visited Globe Academy, a math and performing arts school with a high proportion of low-income students, in London today.
A group of students – aged 11, 12, and 13 years old – showed off the winning design of their school's design contest. The student's design, the "Dish Dash" is a multicolored cardboard box that folds out into a bowl or plate and then back again.
The teacher of the students said they are hoping for an investor for the children's project. President Obama had a suggestion.
"Donald Trump in the United States?" Obama quipped, offering up the businessman and former potential Republican opponent in 2012 as a possibility, "I have some — ah — connection with him."
There was some laughter in the room, but it was not clear if the students knew exactly what the president was joking about.
The president continued on with the visit, speaking to a group of younger children who were learning about the solar system. The president asked the students their stance on Pluto: planet or not.
"What do you think about the controversy about Pluto, because when I was young I always learned that Pluto was a planet," the president exclaimed, "And then somebody just decided it wasn't a planet."
"It's too small to be a planet," a student informed him.

Never gets mentioned during the London Marathon coverage, despite Paula's pitstop a few years ago.
I wish I had known that it could be such a good laxative! Could have avoided some close calls or pit stops.
I did come last in a fell race but I slipped on the descent and had really bad cramp. Limped on feeling that I had a huge bruise on my calf. However, there were 2 DNF and a DQ.
Results a bit slow. Before the bus left for the journey back to Newcastle, we were told they'd be up Sunday evening. Just a bit curious about how many ran and my position.

Roagna Barbaresco Paje 2005

Professional Wine Reviews for Roagna Barbaresco Paje 2005Additional information » |
Nebbiolo is not necessarily a particularly easy grape to cultivate. Indeed, its very late ripening time often means that yield is very low, and they are also quite susceptible to various diseases and forms of rot. However, in their native Italy and in many other countries around the world, wineries persevere with this varietal due to the fact that few other grapes can produce wines as wonderful, complex and flavorful as those made with the Nebbiolo grape. These grapes offer a beautifully pale red juice, packed full of intense flavors such as truffle, violet and prune, making them a real treat for serious wine drinkers looking for a sensory experience not to be forgotten. They are also renowned for their affinity for aging, which allows their strong tannins to mellow and compliment their stunning flavor.
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.

Concierge.com's insider take:
This is as local as local gets. There's not even a sign to this faded colonial-era building near the waterfront of Grenada's second-largest town (ask anybody though). The décor is—well, never mind—you're here for the Grenadian classics like callaloo soup and lambi (conch) stew and, for the more adventurous, a "hunter's catch" of manicou (possum) or tattoo (armadillo). All are served with "provisions" of rice and beans, cabbage, and carrots, and best washed down with ice-cold sorrel, a blood-red drink made from roselle flowers.

The risk of hunger is expected to grow 50 percent by 2015, while funding for food banks, senior programs and meal delivery is being slashed.
The effort is comprised of a comprehensive public information campaign through TV, radio, print and the web, three live Town Hall television programs on WGTE TV; and community events.

Coats are a winter wardrobe staple, but when it comes to choosing the right one it can be a challenge to find the perfect match that completes your check list.
Luckily, shopping online can be your best friend. You no longer need to move from that comfy worn out spot on the couch in order to find your new purchase. But if you decide to shop online for a new winter coat there are still plenty of things to think about.
Duffle coats – A warm coat that is usually fastened with toggles, they were heavily worn in the navy before being popularised by the likes of former Labour leader Michael Foot, Jonathan Creek and of course Paddington Bear!
Overcoats – These were once worn to symbolise a high social class and are simple in style. Traditionally, overcoats tended to be double breasted; however this is not as common now. Overcoats can come in a wide variety of materials and often have button and pocket detail on the front, but are always long in length.
Padded and quilted coats – This style of coat was made popular by UK designers such as Barbour and Burberry. They're thicker than many other winter coats, have simple patters, and are often worn as a fashion statement.
Parkas – If you need a coat that is going to protect you from cold weather, parkas are a good choice since they have a warm lining and usually a trademark fur-trimmed hood. This style of coat originates from Inuit tribes who made coats from seals in order to keep them warm in freezing temperatures.
Pea coats – Traditionally worn by sailors, these coats tend to be darker colors and made from heavy wool material. The main characteristics are double breasted fronts and broad lapels.
Rain coats – These originated from Mr. Macintosh who combined rubber and fabric into a wearable, waterproof material. The two most important factors to check when looking for a rain coat are absorption and penetration. Always check whether coats are rain proof or just shower proof!
Trench coats – Originating from military uniform, this loose style is long in length and made to look more fitted with a waist belt. Trench coats also tend to have deep pockets and some simple detailing on the front.
When buying a men's coat online, it's important to think about where you will primarily be wearing it. This should affect your style, material and color choice. If you are unsure about what styles will work for different events then why not take a look at the table below for some tips?

Naiman says he hopes the flotilla will show Palestinians that nonviolent struggle can work and to bolster nascent grass-roots Palestinian movements that have sought, with some success, to use nonviolent protests and passive resistance to press their demands.
"Never in the past 25 years has there been anything like this political moment, where half of Palestinian society is poised to go [toward nonviolence], and that's exciting to me," says Naiman, giving a rough estimate of the Palestinian mood. "The more nonviolence works, the more they will adopt it. That's why there's so much excitement about the flotilla."
Israel lobbying to stall flotilla
Last year's flotilla symbolically sought to break Israel's economic siege of the Gaza Strip, which includes a naval blockade. Gaza's port has been shut since 2006, and goods flow almost exclusively through a border crossing tightly controlled by Israel, leading to shortages of fuel, medicine, and construction materials in the territory.
But that flotilla was stopped by an Israeli assault that killed nine activists (one with American citizenship) in international waters, sparking international condemnation that led Israeli to ease, though not lift, its blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory.
This year, Israel has been furiously lobbying foreign governments and the United Nations to try to prevent boats from sailing. It has issued threats stating that all means will be used to stop the ships from reaching Gaza. The Government Press Office even warned that any journalists on board could – along with activists – be barred from the country for 10 years, although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office later said that the press would be exempt.

Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney - Hudson River Museum Through January 13, 2013 - Yonkers
In 100 books, Jerry Pinkney has turned his artist's eye and hand to the story - a classic, a folktale, a fable - and readers all over the world saw something new, something they wanted to read and to remember. Pinkney is the master of the American picture book. More than 120 watercolor illustrations by the artist, who lives in Westchester, will be on view in the first major overview of his career as a designer and illustrator in "Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney." The exhibition follows his 2010 award of the Randolph Caldecott Medal for "The Lion and the Mouse." The Hudson River Museum is the only New York showing for this exhibition on national tour, organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Pinkney has found it interesting to trace how the chapters of his life have knitted themselves into his art, touching on the cultural themes of the African-American experience. He uncovers, again and again, the energy in a small moment that surprisingly can change a life or turn an event in history. Most recently in his almost wordless adaptation of the Aesop fable, "The Lion and The Mouse," two creatures on a faraway African plain choose not the hard chase and bloody battle but, instead, exchange kindnesses. Fascinated with wildlife, Pinkney, in many books including "The Brer Rabbit" in "The Last Tales of Uncle Remus" shows us the human qualities of an animal as he shows us the animal in its natural setting. Pinkney, Philadelphia born and bred, and now a long-time New Yorker, has illustrated children's books since 1964, but it was not an easy path. Blacks were not expected to be able to forge careers in the art field. Trained as a commercial artist at a vocational school, he persisted and won a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art where his work took on the shading and detail for which he is now renowned, and he where he began to use color to convey mood and emotion. He has most often worked on children's books that celebrate multiculturalism and African-American heritage, as he took on the task of reshaping the perceptions of the stereotypes of blacks. He designed the first nine stamps of the US Postal Service's Black Heritage series. Art critics will look at the color of Pinkney's illustrations, the scarlet curve of Little Red Riding Hood's cloak, the golden blade of grass on the Serengeti plane. Sociologists will look at Pinkney the little boy, who without a visit to a museum or an art class, drew at home on the back of wallpaper samples. What the viewer will see though, in "The Art of Jerry Pinkney" is his wish: "It has always been my intent for my work to continue to breathe after publication. My hope is that (museum visitors) will believe that Jerry Pinkney cares deeply for people, making art, and visual storytelling." The exhibition includes a 96-page illustrated catalog that provides new scholarship into Pinkney's work in essays by the exhibition's co-curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, Dr. Gerald L. Early, and others. On view through January 13, 2013.

This unique interactive exhibition looks at the imaginative work of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Blue Sky Studios, a leader in the animation industry for over 20 years. Creator of such blockbuster films as the "Ice Age" series, "Robots," and "Rio," the studio prides itself on technical innovation, while retaining a strong narrative heart. '"Ice Age" to the Digital Age' will guide visitors through Blue Sky's entire process of creating computer-animated films: from initial concepts, storyboards, character design, background art, and three-dimensional modeling, to the highly technical work of animation, rigging, materials, lighting, special effects, and sound. In addition to final movie clips, the exhibition will feature rarely-seen original concept drawings, sculptural models, props, and digital stills. Interactive stations will allow visitors to sketch a scene or manipulate computer-generated images to better understand the innovative technology that brings the films to life. Katonah resident Chris Wedge, a co-founder of Blue Sky in 1987, believes that the secret to the studio's success is in its inventive process. In his view, the art challenges technology and technology inspires the art. The Museum will be turning all the galleries, including the Learning Center, over to this exhibit. There will be gallery talks with Blue Sky co-founder Chris Wedge and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, as well as a calendar of programming in partnership with the Jacob Burns Film Center.

Throwback Thursday- Avril Lavigne 'Girlfriend'
'Girlfriend' is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. The song was written by Lavigne with her producer Dr. Luke for Lavigne's third studio album, The Best Damn Thing.
'Girlfriend' was released as the lead single from The Best Damn Thing on February 27, 2007.
The song has been noted to have similarities to Toni Basil's 1982 single "Mickey", and The Rubinoos' 1979 single "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend". The songwriters of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" sued Lavigne and Dr. Luke for copyright infringement; the suit was later settled.
'Girlfriend' was certified multi-platinum in Australia and the United States. It was the top-selling song of 2007, with over 7.3 million worldwide sales. In 2008, the song became the most viewed video on YouTube, and was the first video on the site to reach 100 million views. Rolling Stone ranked the song number thirty-seven on their list of "Top 100 Songs of 2007″ list. Not too shabby.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Moyock /ˈmoʊjɒk/ is an unincorporated community in Currituck County, North Carolina.
It is located on NC 168 just south of the Virginia state line. The community sits at the end of the Chesapeake Expressway toll road, and is only a short drive from downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Because of this, Moyock has begun to witness an increase in residential development as an emerging commuter town for Hampton Roads.
Areas north of the N.C. state line are a short to medium distance away. Moyock is the closest of all North Carolina locales to these following places:
Originally located in Norfolk County in the 1930s when Virginia officials shutdown the Cavalier Kennel Club (CKC). The CKC moved their operations a half-mile south of the state line in Moyock on NC Highway 168 to a quarter-mile oval track. Prior to when they moved to Moyock, the CKC attracted gamblers and spectators from allover the Hampton Roads region from the late 1940s until the early 1950s. The track's primary market was the thousands of service men (mostly U.S. Navy personnel) that were stationed in Norfolk. Not long after its establishment in North Carolina, anti-gambling advocates & the North Carolina Supreme Court upheld the North Carolina State Legislature's anti-dog racing law in 1954. It was until 2009 that the CKC was able to claim that Paul Hartwell invented the greyhound letter rating system, which stood as the standard for all greyhound racing, which also led to the Composite Speed Rating system.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2014) |
After the Cavalier Kennel Club (CKC) was eliminated by the North Carolina General Assembly in the 1950s[citation needed], Moyock began to host auto racing which then renamed the track as the Dog Track Speedway (DTS)[citation needed]. Built on the former site of the CKC, the one-quarter mile oval dirt track was then paved and lengthened to one-third of a mile in 1964. At the DTS, it hosted seven NASCAR races from 1962 until 1966. The Moyock 300 was held there from 1964–1965 as well as the Tidewater 300 in 1965.[citation needed]
Ned Jarrett won the most races at the track with two wins in 1962 and 1964. Jarret's Ford raced and won all six times, totaling $4,631 in winnings. Richard Petty "The King" a North Carolina native from Randleman, also raced there six times driving a Chrysler Plymouth in every race. Despite being on The Pole twice (1965 & 1966), Petty never finished above 3rd place. His total winnings at the DTS were $1,700.[citation needed]
The final NASCAR race at the DTS ran on Sunday, May 29, 1966. It was 301 laps (99.9 miles) which David Pearson took the checkered flag in a 1964 Dodge with an average speed of 61.913 miles per hour in which, Pearson took home with $1,000. The track was closed later in 1966 due to declining attendance, poor revenues and larger tracks being built.[citation needed]
