Get ready for some 12-million-year-old "panda-monium!"
Spanish researchers have discovered fossils they say could be from the oldest identified relative of the giant panda. The specimens are from a species the scientists are calling Kretzoiarctos beatrix, and they are in the range of 11.5 million to 12.5 million years old, according to lead study author Juan Abella, at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Spain.
These fossils, described in the journal PLOS ONE, were found in northeast Spain, and come from two adult individuals. One set, which Abella and colleagues described last year in the journal Estudios Geológico, consists of two teeth. The other includes a broken mandible and incomplete upper carnassial (large tooth).
This new study takes into account the both sets of fossils, and compares them with more species, Abella said. The additional fossils allowed the scientists to come up with the genus Kretzoiarctos beatrix.
The oldest fossils in the panda lineage that have been found in China are significantly younger - they are thought to be between 7.2 and 8.2 million years old, said Abella.
However, the scientists are not claiming to know that pandas evolved in Spain and then migrated to China. There is not enough information to make this statement.
So, don't go around calling this the missing panda link, Abella said. It's certainly possible that there are other older panda relative fossils out there waiting to be found. Moreover, we don't know for sure what the panda family tree looked like.
"That fossil record is very fragmentary and so it is difficult to state 100% sure that one fossil species was the direct ancestor of an extant one," Abella said in an e-mail.
When this proto-panda roamed Spain, the climate was more humid and warm, Abella said. That means there fruits and plants were in greater abundance, which may have enabled the ancient panda to incorporate more plants in its diet.
Scientists aren't sure whether bamboo was present in their habitat at that time, but there may have been similar plants associated with humid climates, Abella said.
There are obviously still a lot of unknowns about the prehistoric pandas these fossils potentially came from. More specimens from the same place would be needed to determine the sex of the creatures and exactly how big they were, Abella said.
"The discovery is very important to understand the origin of the lineage that leads to the giant panda millions of years after," Abella said. "It may also help scientists to understand the adaptations in both the skull and jaw, that helps, this unique bear, to be able to feed on hard bamboo stems."
Bears have been living in the Iberian Peninsula for at least the last 11.5 million years, Abella said. There are still brown bears living in the mountains in the north of Spain.

I didn't post yesterday — the last day of convention — and I had a good reason.
I opened my tired eyes to a little voice that said, "Mommy, wake up. It's time to go outside."
By outside, my 3-year-old meant one of the lush atriums of the Gaylord Opryland. My husband had picked him up from the grandparents' the night before and spent the evening exploring the "outside that's inside" portions of the hotel.
I pried myself out of bed, relishing in the fact that for the first time in five days I wasn't in a hurry — and that my family was together once again.
I thought of the speech Larry Potterfield delivered the evening before at the MidwayUSA-sponsored Awards Banquet.
He said (in paraphrase) that out of a population of 300 million people in the United States, only 14 million are hunters. With a life expectancy of about 78, nearly 182,000 hunters go on "to the happy hunting grounds" each year.
Mr. Larry then posed these pointed questions to the audience:
Who's going to fill our shoes?
Who's going to fill your shoes?
He said that each of us must do our part for our children and grandchildren to ensure the adults in our society 30, 40 and 50 years from now WANT to conserve wild turkeys and turkey habitat.
Sunday morning, I traded my dress pants for jeans. I slipped on a pair of comfortable shoes and my name badge. But instead of heading to the Delta Ballroom, we took the stairs to the Exhibit Hall, specifically The Roost.
Here's me doing my part for the future of conservation…

Six Days of Christmas: Misplaced orange was a dead giveaway; Rochester mom recalls when curious son tampered with the stockings
Thursday, December 20, 2012
Editor's note: These are the second day of stories in Foster's Daily Democrat's annual Six Days of Christmas series. This year we asked readers to share with us their funniest kids' Christmas story.
Once she had a family of her own, Madeline followed her mother's Old World tradition of placing an orange and walnuts at the bottom of each stocking for a holiday treat. Little did she know, she would be making her own traditional memories.
When the children were young, Madeline knew their eldest son, Paul, was a very busy and curious boy.
"He was a little mischievous, as boys usually are," said Madeline through a wide-eyed smile.
While the presents were carefully placed under the tree, and the stockings were filled to the brim, Madeline's son, Paul, grew with anticipation of peeking through perhaps just one stocking.
"We leaned the stockings and presents carefully against the sofa, and then went to sleep. When we woke up my first thought was, 'Oh boy. What's wrong here?'"
Sure enough, his curiosity had gotten the better of him and Paul had gone through the stockings. His plan would have gone through seamlessly, if only he didn't leave the orange on the very top of the stocking.
"I knew immediately who had done it. He forgot the orange went in the toe!" Madeline said, beaming with joy as she reminisced about her past holidays.

Kingdoms of Camelot Full Review
By Ange Perdu
Kingdoms of Camelot is a 2D real-time empire building strategy game set in the time when King Arthur and his loyal knights of the round table ruled. Each player becomes one of Arthur's appointed Lords with the lofty task of constructing and managing a city from the ground up. Build an assortment of structures from cottages to barracks. Gather resources from local farms and mines to replenish the city's supplies. Upgrade, expand, and research new technologies to create a powerful empire. Kingdoms of Camelot is a challenging game that incorporates different aspects of social games like City of Wonder with traditional MMORTS such as Evony and Three Kingdoms Online. Train troops and join alliances with friends to win wars in the midst of the Dark Ages.
Building Your Empire, the Gameplay
Most of the gameplay in Kingdoms of Camelot involves building and strategizing attacks. Players start out with a medieval castle, empty city and outside field. They have to construct and upgrade various structures to build up their empire. There's a variety of functional buildings. Cottages raise population. Taverns like in real life boost happiness levels. Blacksmiths forge metal weapons. Barracks assemble and trains troops. Set up stables, workshops, rally points, watch towers, markets, embassy, and alchemy labs.
Resources are required in order to build, research, and train. They come in the form of food, wood, stone, and ore. Players earn them automatically through building or upgrading farms, a quarry, sawmill, and mines in the field area. Users can earn them through completing quests as well. All of the quests involve city or military expansion missions. Users have to accomplish tasks like building a relief station, researching logging, training 10 Pikemen, upgrading the wall, or increasing food base production to 5,000. The quests also serve as a guide notifying players of what needs to be done. The construction length for each structure varies. Some buildings can take hours to finish. The fact that players are restricted to one assembly process at a time makes the gameplay feel slow paced. Unlike construction research and the training of troops can be done simultaneously.
Strategizing Attacks & Conquering Lands
When the Alchemy Lab has been built users can start researching various topics to advance the overall technology of the city. Each research requires an allotted amount of resources, construction, or other level of study before being unlocked. Basic knowledge in fertilizer to smelting improves resource production. A higher level topic like metal alloys, magical mapping, or poisoned edge improves the troop's ability to attack. It also aids in the training process. Players can enter the barracks to create a diverse military. Train hundreds or even thousands of citizens in the art of war. Acquire heavy cavalry, ballista, battering rams, catapults, skilled archers, swordsmen, and resourceful Pikemen for strategized attacks. In Kingdoms of Camelot planning is everything. To create a worthy empire users have to form a strong military with capable knights and an impermeable fortress wall. Add buried ground traps, spiked barriers, mounted crossbows, and defensive trebuchets to the kingdom's wall for increased defense. Clicking the map tab gives an aerial view of the surrounding cities, wilderness, woods, mountains, and plains available for conquering. Players simply click on the area they want to scout or attack and choose the troops and desired knight to lead the battle. A report message is sent to the player's describing the outcome. There are no limits when it comes to battles. Players are free to attack any available land or city visible on the map.
Knights of the Round Table
The Knight system in Kingdoms of Camelot allows players to appoint their friends as knights and assign them special roles. It's a fee of 1,000 gold coins to hire your Facebook comrades. A single knight's salary consists of 20 gold coins an hour. This amount is taken automatically from the city's taxes. Once appointed players choose whether to place their buddy in the role of foreman, marshal, alchemystic, or steward. Each job focuses on a specific area of the kingdom from political to military. Knights are necessary because they serve as leaders during attacks. Troops can't be sent out to conquer without their head knight. Players are in control of their appointed leaders stats. As the knights in your court level up their skill points can be assigned in the category that the player sees fit. Friends also can help speed up the construction process of your buildings. Clicking the help from friends tab posts the request on profile wall and friends' walls. Due to the constant need for construction it can quickly become an annoying form of spamming. Kingdoms of Camelot also feature alliances and a nice chat option for players to communicate. Joining an alliance strengthens your defense against random invasions. At the bottom of the screen users have an open global and a private alliance chat box.
Shopping for Red Dragon Wings
In the Kingdoms of Camelot shop there is only special acceleration items and bundles for sale. Although theses items can be very beneficial they require the purchase of expensive gems. Gems are hard to come by. They usually have to be bought with real money. Players who splurge will find an assortment of tools that will give them a temporary boost. Enchanted hourglasses reduce building and research times. Mighty bark skin increases defense. Red dragon wings decreases the travel length of troops when attacking. Special prayers and blessings for resources are available as well as chest bundles offering a variety pack of themed acceleration tools to boost any player's productivity. There's also a mini-game called Merlin's Magical Boxes where players have the opportunity of winning some of these special items. Merlin has an assortment of boxes players have to guess and click on a box. They win whatever lies inside.
Final Verdict: Good
Kingdoms of Camelot is fun and addicting. Become a Lord for King Arthur appoint and your friends as knights to help lead your empire to greatness. Players can build multiple cities to rule. Manage every aspect of the construction process, resource production, control tax rates, citizens' happiness, train troops, and wage war. Use strategy to develop a powerful empire capable conquering others. It's a solid MMORTS on Facebook and that's rare. The nicely implemented social elements make it an entertaining game to play. Fans of Evony, Travian, Three Kingdoms Online, and City of Wonder should definitely give Kingdoms of Camelot a try.

Close your eyes, and imagine you've just stepped outside into a garden or forest on an early spring day -- moments after a heavy rain shower. Looking around, you see that every blade of grass, tree, flower and patch of earth has a dewy glow. You inhale deeply; the smell of wet, fertile earth fills your lungs. Instantly, your spirits lift. Ah, there's nothing quite like the scent of the outdoors on a spring day -- right after it rains.

Hounded does have a lot of deliberate humor and satire -- which is why it does look at modern culture and poke fun at particularly the New Agey western desert culture of the U.S. Underlying it, however, is a darker, deeper battle over the Earth and the right of humans to have their own agency and freedom, and of the Earth to also survive that. There are on-going battles over power and earth magic which will throw the human race and their habitat one way or another, which in that version of Earth is what the gods do. Hounded's protagonist has essentially dug himself a large hole and buried himself in it, trying to keep detached, hidden and calm, after several big traumas and losses over centuries. He's given up on trying to influence things, win battles -- he's a burned out veteran. He has taken on the persona of a young person for enough years that it does seep into his viewpoint, but the rest of his viewpoint is that of someone much older who has learned the pointlessness of battles.
And yet, he gets dragged back into the major battles again in classic noir suspense tradition when he's found by enough gods who still regard him as influential, and this is in part because he discovers he actually does care about various people and creatures he's let into his life and the Earth underneath his feet, and to some extent to his still liking being a powerful being you don't mess with. So he takes up the cockier role of his younger years (and of noir suspense fiction.) It also is an aspect of his being able to adapt, to adopt the culture that he is in, rather than stay in stasis like so many of the gods do. He keeps battling with the decision -- run or stay and fight -- even up to the end. He chooses the latter, which is rather necessary for conflict in many suspense stories, and in the tradition of epic story, he succeeds because of the connections he has made, because of teamwork, and because of how much he values life around him -- a value that gives him weaknesses and strengths compared to other powerful beings and that is expressed metaphorically in his magical power literally being drawn from the earth.
Translation: Nothing is ever a "light" story really.

I read the next in the series, Trapped. It's pretty much just like those that have come before, though I liked it better than the previous in the series, Tricked. Good stuff - I'll keep reading 'em as long as Hearne keeps writing 'em. A mini-review is up at the blog for those interested.

There are less, but they are not absent. There is not a ton time for eating and such in this one, but we do get a Norse Dwarf cooking a meal and there is always Oberon barking after sausage.

That's better. It just felt like there was WAY too much of that in the last one. Glad to hear he's tuned it down a bit. It was distracting.

I'm only just reading Hounded right now, but was pleased to see Hearne's announcement that Del Rey has contracted with him to write six more books!

It seems that a new ebook only novella came out yesterday called Grimoire of the Lamb.
Also, there will be a short story called "The Demon Barker of Wheat Street" in the Carniepunk anthology (July 23rd release date in the U.S.). Hearne describes it as "set during Granuailes training period with the highest body count of anything Ive written".

Laurent Blanc has played down the importance of Paris Saint-Germain's five-point lead over Monaco following their 3-1 win against Nice.
PSG cemented their place at the top of the Ligue 1 table with an easy victory on Saturday, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring a hat-trick in a superb performance.
The defending champions now have a commanding advantage over title rivals Monaco, who are third behind Lille and could only draw 1-1 at home with Evian on Friday.
But coach Blanc does not believe that recent results represent a turning point in the title race.
"No, this is not a turning point," the former Bordeaux manager said.
"Monaco dropped points but Lille are there also."
Ibrahimovic has now scored 14 goals in his last seven games for PSG, and Blanc admitted that he is fortunate to have the Sweden international and Edinson Cavani at the club.
"Players who score goals make their mark throughout their career," he added.
"We are lucky to have two players like that."

(CNN) -- One day after Fox News confirmed that it and Sarah Palin had parted ways, the former Alaska governor spoke out Saturday on why she decided to leave her gig as a paid contributor.
In an interview with the conservative news outlet Breitbart, Palin said she wants to share her values "more broadly" rather than "preach to the choir."
"The message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience," she said.
Palin's contract ended at the end of 2012, but a source close to Palin told CNN that the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee turned down a recent offer to renew it.
Palin said the 2014 mid-term elections will be "imperative" and advocated for who she described as anti-establishment conservatives.
"It's going to be like 2010, but this time around, we need to shake up the GOP machine that tries to orchestrate away too much of the will of constitutional conservatives who don't give a hoot how they do it in D.C.," she said.
Palin was not specific about her long-term plans, saying "the door is wide open." The three-question interview was published by Stephen K. Bannon, who directed a documentary about Palin called, "The Undefeated."
The Republican National Committee gathered last week for its winter meeting, where several GOP leaders argued the party needed to make serious changes in messaging and outreach to become more inclusive. Last year's presidential election results show that President Barack Obama overwhelmingly won African Americans, Asians and Latinos.
Palin, however, said some in the party are being "skittish" because of the election results.
"They shouldn't be. Conservatism didn't lose. A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working class Reagan Democrat and independent voters who didn't turn out for him as much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008," she said, adding the election was "defined by a biased media plus millions of voters who sat it out in disgust."
Asked for her reaction to the idea that she and the tea party no longer hold as much sway, Palin said the fight hasn't even begun.
"I was raised to never retreat and to pick battles wisely, and all in due season," she said. "When it comes to defending our republic, we haven't begun to fight! But we delight in those who underestimate us."
-- CNN's Ashley Killough, Gregory Wallace and Peter Hamby contributed to this report.

Too large
By Mikey
from Connecticut
The manufacturer recommends buying one size smaller, but Hammacher Schlemmer did not include this information in their ad. They also did not have my size, so I am returning it.
Jacket is HUGE
By Horse Lady
from near Tampa, Fl
This jacket is cut way too huge. My husband has always been an XL and wears a size 46 suit jacket. We have ordered and returned this jacket in XL, L and Med and they are all too large on him. We are waiting for the Sm. Then I will give up!
Nice Quality Jacket
By Rick
from Oklahoma City
I liked the quality of the jacket. I'll have to wear it a while to determine its durability.
Size is an issue
By Trackman
from Lake Tahoe NV
I bought a large, generally buy an XL. Large was too big, but nice quality, I gave it to a larger friend. Ordered a medium, fits well.

Decaf Sumatra Mandheling
Decaf Sumatra Mandheling
Hailing from the famous growing regions around Lake Tawar and Lake Toba in the northern provinces of Sumatra, we find this Mandheling lot to be particularly expressive of the classic herbal-toned flavors of coffee produced in the Lintong area. The word Mandheling refers to an ethnic group that has lived in northern Sumatra for centuries; in the coffee industry the name has come to represent the better Arabica coffee from the island.
This coffee has been decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process method, which does not involve use of solvents.
Cupping Notes:
Rich and syrupy with deep herbal notes, and hints of baker's chocolate, tobacco, and soft earthy-tones.

Local Level
At the local level, the Development Plan is made up of the following:
Over time, the 'Saved' policies of the Local Plan will be replaced by policies within Development Plan Documents (DPDs) of the .
County Level
In addition to the local elements, the Development Plan for Torridge also currently comprises of the following County level elements:
- Devon Structure Plan 2001-2016 ('Saved Policies')
- Devon Minerals Local Plan ('Saved Policies')
- Devon Waste Local Plan ('Saved Policies')
Over time the 'Saved Policies' of the Minerals Local Plan and the Waste Local Plan will be replaced by policies within the Development Plan Documents of the Devon Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework.
Regional Level
Abolition of Regional Spatial Strategies
On 27th May 2010, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government wrote to Council Leaders and Chief Planners reiterating the coalition government's intention to rapidly abolish Regional Spatial Strategies and stating that his letter is a 'material planning consideration in any decisions they are currently taking'.
On 6th July 2010 Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government announced that the Coalition Government had revoked all Regional Strategies under section 79(6) of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009. He stated that the legal basis for Regional Strategies will be abolished through the Localism Bill.
A High Court challenge was subsequently made against the announcement by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government that Regional Spatial Strategies had been abolished. It was announced on 10th November 2010 that the High Court Challenge was successful and that Section 79 powers could not be used to revoke Regional Strategies.
The Coalition Government's proposals to abolition Regional Strategies are now set out in the Localism Bill.
Until Regional Strategies are revoked regard should be given to:
Other Material Considerations
When determining planning applications it is possible to take account of other information that is not included within the Development Plan. There are many other documents that might be considered when determining a planning application. At the local level these include Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG), Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) and Development Briefs. At the national level there are a series of Planning Policy Guidance Notes and Planning Policy Statements covering different topic areas. All of these may be material considerations in determining a planning application.

I DRIVE A PICKUP TRUCK...WHAT DO YOU DRIVE (answer the poll at the bottom)?
Classic Sedan: If you drive a Honda Civic it shows that you care about the environment. This sedan gets 28/39 miles per gallon on the highway with its Eco-Assist fuel-optimizing technology. You're also a creative, savvy and a cost-conscious buyer. And don't think for a minute that the Civic is bland. On the 2012 Civic LX you can personalize how information is displayed on the screen, customize the screen's color and even choose you own wallpaper.
Luxury Sedan: You go for creature comforts and you're not shy about asking for what you want. You value elegant design and bespoke details. The Lexus LS sedan speaks your language. It offers climate-controlled seats, an all-LED interior lighting system that illuminates to greet the occupants and dims like theater lights, and an available Ottoman Seating Package with Shiatsu Massage for backseat passengers. The interior is offered in five color schemes from Ivory to Saddle Tan and wood choices include: Walnut, Shimamoku Espresso (a striped wood), Matte Brown Bird's Eye Maple and an eco-friendly Bamboo wood trim.
Minivan: You're the Mom who seems to manage family, career and home with grace and a sense of humor. You don't try to be super mom realizing that you just can't do it all. Your style is casual chic, and you don't want to worry about whether or not your car is safe for your family. That's why you picked the three-row, six-passenger Mazda5 crossover. It has a top safety rating, yet at the same time, doesn't skimp on the zoom zoom fun factor.
Pick-Up Truck: You're strong, feminine and enviably self-assured. You can muck out a stall, go to a PTA meeting and host a charity event all in the same day. The bottom line -- the Ford F-150 boasts three decades of being a pick-up truck leader. But we're talking luxury. The 2013 Ford F-150 Limited design sits on 22-inch polished aluminum wheels with a monochromatic exterior theme played out in metallic Ruby Red, Tuxedo Black or White Platinum. The cabin features cooled and heated red and black full-grain leather-trimmed seats with second row heated seats.
Luxury SUV: You just can't help it, style is everything to you. You like clean, simple, contemporary lines on almost everything. Black plays heavy in your sartorial choices, meaning you default to a black t-shirt over a cheerier chartreuse number. The BMW X5 is a capable off-road vehicle, but few owners have ever left pavement, except perhaps to meander over the gravel drive of an equestrian center. You're elegant and appreciate quality materials. And you can't deny you like BMW's snob appeal just a little.
Electric Car: You're a forward thinker, a technology whiz and strongly opinionated on anything eco. On top of all this, people like YOU. Your friends all want to ride in your LEAF because, after all, this high-tech car has a 100% electric motor which translates to no tailpipe emissions, not one drop of gas, no more oil changes, and up to 100 miles on a single charge.
Compact Car: You're fun, but not silly. You like cute, but not cutesie. You chose the Ford Focus because it seats five, has a practical and easy-to-load hatchback trunk, and is small enough to park just about anywhere. You're the kind of gal who saves her money and wants value in everything she buys.
Micro Sub-Compact Car: The world's smallest four seater is all about minimalist design. No doubt about it, you are a savvy city girl with a high IQ. Your blog features tidbits like where to get the best Chapchae (Korean noodles!), how to score vintage cowgirl boots, finding a tattoo parlor that gives pedicures and a nightclub that screens the latest indie movies.
Roomy Sedan: You're a no-nonsense, confident, conservative and sophisticated shopper who does her research. You think before you buy and acquire classic items that will last a lifetime. You want the best for your money and aren't willing to put up with shoddy quality. The Toyota Camry comes with armloads of accolades including Top Safety Pick 2012 (Insurance Institute of Highway Safety), the Best Selling Car in America and the Car with the best resale value. Needless to say the Camry sips 25/35 miles per gallon.
Economy Car: You're always looking for adventure and fun and appreciate funky style. You love to shop in consignment stores for furniture you can refurbish and you enjoy hiking on weekends. One of your favorite pastimes: sipping wine and laughing with your best girlfriends. The Beetle with its 19" alloy wheels, color matched dashboard, customized interior lighting and updated vintage shape is a match for you.

If I start then a business or something like "Freiberufler" and the difference between job and privat live gets fluid... I risk to get suid by microsoft? Thanx then I dont risk a law suit for hundret billions or so... I go with the 100% free 100% shure no law suit bought solution... Btw I just found some interesting latex packages where I can use fields and loops... so that becomes a good option.
Btw even if you like the WYSIWYG Thing (I dont, because I am no designer more a developer, so I will always fail to make a better design than some design gurus who wrote this latex desgins) one thing Libreoffice AND MS office really sucks... you cant just git add such a file and see diffs because its both more or less blobs. Thats the biggest problem with that formats... its just technicaly sad that you dont have git-power to this mostly "Text"-Dokuments. And it could be such simple just give a option to save as directory instead of a zip... and load from a directory and just dont zip the content and all would be great.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endbenutzer-Lizenzvertrag ). If you only buy a CD and see the EULA the first time you install it, it has no effect. And even if it is shown to you while buying, it has to comply with the German AGB norm (§§307 - 309 BGB) which is not the case most of the times. So you can just ignore EULA in Germany most of the time.

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
Over all a very good tire.They are great in dry conditions and excellent in hard cornering. Normal driving on wet roads is fine. However, when driving aggressive on wet roads they break traction a bit more than I think they should. My car is a FWD with about 215 HP. In snow they seems fine, this is the only car I have owned, I normally have SUVs, so my view on snow driving is a bit skewed. Treadware seems great, I have around 30k on them and they are still okay.

How to Select
How to Shop for Kitchen Faucets
How many times a day do you turn on the water faucet in the kitchen? Dozens? Hundreds? It is difficult to imagine what the average kitchen faucet has to endure over its lifetime, so it needs to be high quality to last through the years. This will minimize the possibility of leaky faucets and reduce your repair bills.
Although kitchen faucets come in numerous styles, there are few basic designs. Many faucets come with a hot and cold tap, but rather than getting a two-handle unit, choose a single-levered faucet. They are usually pricier than models with two handles and a spout between them but are convenient to grasp and adjust with one hand and can be easily used by children and arthritic sufferers.
Single-handle faucets use a ball, cartridge, or disc mechanism, while two-handle units are disk, cartridge, or compression. Out of these kinds of kitchen faucets, compression models are the most prone to dripping since they use seals or washers than can wear out. Disk-type units are usually the strongest and most trouble-free, and cartridge-type faucets with an easily replaceable cartridge allow for easy repairs.
It is typical to install a separate sprayer in addition to the main faucet but if you prefer your kitchen to be minimalist, there are modern combination units with a sprout that can be pulled out to become a sprayer. Such a model makes it easier to water plants, notably those in large pots, and can be used to rinse out the sink. And if you need to fill high pots, pans, and kettles, consider a traditional gooseneck faucet that can fill even lobster-cooking pots.
Kitchen faucets are available in different styles and finishes, including polished chrome, polished copper, brass, brushed nickel, brushed chrome, brushed bronze, black iron, powder enamel and antique brass. Most of these units have a contemporary appearance with polished chrome being the most common finish since it is durable and suits any kitchen décor. However, there are models with antique styling and finish that work especially well in a traditional kitchen. Moreover, brushed or patina finishes might be preferable to polished shiny surfaces since they do not show water spots.
With kitchen faucets, price is typically an accurate indicator of quality. Avoid faucets equipped with plastic handles or shells of dubious durability. Do not get lured by the price tag: high quality kitchen faucets will repay you in continued trouble-free operation, water savings and low maintenance.

When you taste thousands of wines each year, there are many painful moments, and you have to keep a sense of humor. There are days when we taste dozens of wines, but none are outstanding. And there are days when so many of the wines are so strange that it makes us wonder how anyone could possibly make a wine like that and how those wineries survive.

It's become an annual event with people attending like Lamberto Frescobaldi, Giacomo Neri of Casanova di Neri, Leonardo Raspini of Ornellaia, Enrico and Enrica Scavino, Luigi Scavino of Azelia, Carlo Revello…you get the idea.

The heat wave finally broke in most of California on Wednesday, so I'll give the global warming issue a rest for now. But be assured, this is a story that won't be going away anytime soon. As some readers have pointed out, climatic changes could (and may well) have a major impact on the kinds of wines we drink in the future.

Our brand loyalty has little to do with our desire to support a favored vintner. Usually we're driven away from our pet wines due to one of two factors (sometimes both), which have been bantered about in this space the past few days and weeks.

Before I arrived here in Aspen for my annual summer stay in Colorado, I asked everyone I knew in town what new restaurants I should try. Virtually everyone I asked said, "D19." Dena Moreno, who had pleased so many taste buds with her soulful Italian food (and white truffle fries) at Ajax Tavern, has joined up with the owners of The Wild Fig and the Popcorn Wagon to take over one of the prime corners in Aspen.

Ok, so a heat wave or two does not necessarily constitute global warning (or whatever you want to call it). Still, after eight days (or nine, or 10, or whatever) of scorching heat in California and much of the country, with no let-up in sight, it was easy to buy into the argument that indeed planet Earth is getting hotter.
