The 2006 growing season started out with an unusually wet spring that pushed rains all the way into June (great for the health of the vines). This was followed by a relatively cool early summer period that was characterized by fog rolling up-valley almost every morning into July. We then experienced our normal pattern of heat spikes before a late July cool down. Heat resumed in earnest during August and September, accelerating the ripening of some of the cabernet blocks. We began the red harvest at a pace that quickly filled up the winery, keeping us at capacity for nearly 24 hours. The heat finally broke in early October, and with that retreat in temperatures the harvest came to a virtual halt for the first two weeks of October. Following that cool spell and benefiting from the extended hang-time, the last of the cabernet blocks were harvested before Halloween.
The effect of this was a split personality vintage with two distinct phases, each with markedly different characteristics. The early phase was dominated by heat and intensity, while the second phase was much cooler in character. The first phase gave us concentration and firm tannins, while the second phase provided the grapes longer hang time and delivered fruit with a softer more elegant profile. Essentially we experienced the best of both worlds all in one vintage, thus yielding a complex and beautifully balanced wine
Dark rich ruby in color, this wine offers rich, complex aromas
of ripe dark cherry, sweet chocolate, cinnamon, pie spice, and
leather, with top notes of rose and forest floor. In the mouth this
wine makes a full soft round entry, after which the acid builds
nicely to make it very juicy and inviting. Loads of fine grain
tannin completes the mouthfeel, with berry patch, fruit stand
flavors dominating. Nice notes of clove and toasted oak round out
the tremendous long finish that will keep you coming back for more.
This is a very well balanced wine that will age well and pair
beautifully with a wide array of foods

iPad with Retina display
Just as stunning. Twice as fast.
iPad features a stunning Retina display, iSight and FaceTime cameras, the all-new A6X chip and ultra-fast wireless. And with access to over 300,000 apps on the App Store, you can do more than ever.
Key features:
Please note: We will do our best to get your iPad to you as quickly as possible, but orders placed after 2pm may take a day longer than advertised.Colour: Black. APPLE helpline: 0844 209 0611.
Product Features
- The breakthrough Retina display
Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, rich color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels. That's four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can't discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can't see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.
- Twice the speed, twice the graphics performance
The A6X chip inside iPad is the most powerful mobile chip yet. It delivers up to twice the CPU and graphics performance of the A5X chip. And it makes iPad feel faster and even more responsive. Apps launch instantly and run smoothly. Graphics-intensive games are fluid and lifelike on the gorgeous Retina display. And with improved image signal processing built into the A6X chip, the photos and videos you take with the 5-megapixel iSight camera look sharper and even more Retina worthy.
- Wave hello with the FaceTime HD camera
FaceTime on iPad puts you face-to-face - even when you're miles apart. You can make a video call over Wi-Fi, so if you're out and about, your friends and family are never out of the loop. And now with the FaceTime HD camera, everyone can get an even better view of you and what's around you. You can also use it for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
- Shoot 5-megapixel still images
The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight. When you shoot photos, the big, beautiful Retina display becomes a big, beautiful viewfinder - giving you plenty of room to compose your shot. Autofocus, tap to focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take instantly becomes frameworthy. And with built-in face detection that automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces, there's more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad and say "Cheese."
- Advanced Wi-Fi technology
The Wi-Fi capabilities built into iPad keep you connected faster than ever - up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps. Translation: many of the things you do every day may start to feel a whole lot faster.
- A singular device carved from a single piece of aluminum
iPad is sleek, beautiful, and engineered to handle life on the go - thanks in large part to the aluminum unibody. By consolidating many parts into one, everything becomes less complex and far more precise. The result is an iPad that's thin, light, and durable enough for the ins and outs of everyday life.

Schneck to Host Retirement Teleconference Oct. 15
The Planned Gifts Committee of Schneck Medical Center Foundation is hosting a teleconference on Solving Frequently Encountered Problems with Retirement Assets on Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. It will be held in Suite 125 of the Jackson Medical Building.
Featured speakers will be Roy M. Adams and special guest of Cannon Financial Institute.
Disposition of retirement assets is a very common concern among our clients. Rich, poor or in between, just about everyone has an interest in an employer-provided plan or an IRA. Since this is an area in which our advice is so often in demand, we owe it to our clients to possess and maintain a high degree of expertise concerning these issues. Areas in which this level of expertise is required include beneficiary designations, design and optimal funding of trusts to receive retirement plan or IRA distributions, and rollover opportunities and hazards protection.
Early registration for this free teleconference is suggested as space is limited. Seats may be reserved by calling Cora Laymon at the Schneck Foundation at 812-524-4245.

Cold Sesame Noodles with Butter Pepper Shrimp
A couple of weeks ago, I had dinner with my good friends E and N at Crustacean Beverly Hills. As usual, we had our fix of the legendary garlic noodles, and opted for some butter black pepper shrimp instead of the Crustacean roasted crab. We had a wonderful time catching up, chatting about our future plans, and savoring everything we had ordered. It was a great night of dear friendships, wine, and dine. Ahhh, good times.
A few days ago, I had a sudden craving for the Crustacean garlic noodles and the black pepper shrimp but I don't have any butter and garlic at home. So I improvised what I had and made this cold sesame noodles instead, and the black pepper shrimp stayed on the menu. It was almost as satisfying as the garlic noodles, but fresher and healthier, and a perfect lunch combo for a nice spring afternoon.
For the noodles, I used some Japanese soba or buckwheat noodles, which I always have in my pantry. One roll of the soba noodles with some freshly julienned carrot and cucumber in a tangy sauce and a few perfectly cooked butter pepper shrimp were exactly what I needed that day.
Previously on Rasa Malaysia, I have shared a sesame noodles recipe, but this cold sesame noodle tastes different. What I really liked about this recipe is the cold fresh taste of the noodles. Chill the sesame noodles in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving. It makes a world of difference! Try it if you would like a refreshing spring recipe. Enjoy!

That looks awesome, thanks!
I really love your many noodle recipes here. It all appeals to me. I must have cold noodles everytime I have Japanese. It's just a must. Such an easy dish too. When I get some prawns tonight, I'll make some buttered salt & pepper prawns.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
News Release
Tampa Field Division
At The Frontline Against Violent Crime
For Immediate Release
January 30, 2009
Contact: William Filides
Office: (813) 202-7451
Cell: (904) 219-6254
Local Explosives Detection Canines Help Tampa Prepare for Super Bowl XLIII
New Orleans K-9 Teams Work With Security Team in Tampa for Super Bowl
TAMPA, Fla. — Not everyone participating in this year's Super Bowl is a football player. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has fielded its best players to help prepare for a safe and secure Super Bowl XLIII. These pros include ATF K-9 explosives detection teams that have been deployed to Tampa from around the country.
One K-9 team working in Tampa is ATF Special Agent Canine Handler Kathy Barton and her black Labrador retriever, Madison. Barton and Madison have been partners for 6 months and are detailed to Tampa from the ATF New Orleans Field Division. Barton and Madison routinely work together in criminal investigations and at high profile security events where their expertise is needed detecting the presence of explosives, firearms and ammunition. They were called to assist at this year's Super Bowl to help locate any type of explosives that might be in close proximity to the Raymond James Stadium or any other venues relating to the big game.
The K-9 teams are working side-by-side with other federal, state and local lawenforcement officers to keep the football teams and fans safe throughout this event.
The K-9 teams that are here in Tampa for the Super Bowl are the best of the best, said Virginia O'Brien, special agent in charge of the ATF Tampa Field Division.
Like the football teams that will be playing in the Super Bowl, these handlers and their K-9 partners have been training and preparing all year for this event.
ATF and our law enforcement partners have been working closely and planning for this event for two years, O'Brien further stated.
We are proud to say that the only thing the fans have to worry about is whether their team wins or loses.
ATF has used its explosives detecting canines at other special events including the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, the Presidential Inauguration, the G-8, the World Series, the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and of course, the Super Bowls.
ATF's canine program, which began in 1986, uses only Labrador retrievers. The dogs are supplied by the Guiding Eyes for the Blind, the Guide Dog Foundation, and Canine Companions for Independence. These specialty canines and their handlers attend a 10-week training program with their handlers that are conducted at the ATF Canine Training Center in Front Royal, Va. Upon completion of this course the canines are able to detect a variety of explosive compounds and materials that could be used in an explosive device. The canines can also detect firearms and ammunition and are used in the more traditional protective search and sweep operations. Once the canine and the handler complete the ATF basic training course they begin their field work but continue to train on a daily basis.
More information on ATF can be found at www.atf.gov.

En español | The food you eat may have a lot to do with the health of your brain as you age, according to the latest research. And don't think you can just pop a vitamin pill — real food contains micronutrients that also play an important role. To protect your gray matter, consider consuming more of these foods.
Getty Images
Beans and green peas provide a rich source of B-complex vitamins, which may play a role in protecting against brain shrinkage as well as in maintaining blood sugar levels and a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B-1 (thiamine) and folic acid are also found in enriched grain products and cereals.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, essential for healthy skin and blood vessel functioning, but some studies suggest it may protect against dementia-related brain plaque, too. Oranges, limes and lemons are a convenient source of ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C), as are sweet peppers, strawberries, cantaloupes, tomatoes, broccoli and leafy greens.
Vitamin E promotes healthy blood vessels, and studies have shown that people with high blood levels of the antioxidant have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin E may also slow the progression of Alzheimer's, a new study suggests. Add E to your diet with almonds, other nuts and avocado.

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish reduce inflammation in the body. UCLA scientists found that people with lower omega-3 blood levels had more brain shrinkage and poorer performance on memory tests. Aim for eating fatty, cold-water fish, such as salmon, cod, herring and mackerel, once or twice a week.
Getty Images
Spinach is packed with at least 15 different antioxidant compounds known as flavonoids, which have been shown to slow the formation of the beta-amyloid plaques that build up in those with Alzheimer's disease. What's more, spinach is rich in vitamins A and K, folic acid and iron.
About three cups of coffee a day may help protect against Alzheimer's, a 2012 University of South Florida study found. Older adults with mild cognitive impairment who drank that much java were far less likely to develop full-blown Alzheimer's over the following two to four years than those who had very little or no caffeine.
Getty Images
New research suggests that adults with low levels of vitamin D may have a higher risk of developing dementia, Alzheimer's or other cognitive problems. Exposing your sunscreen-free face, back, arms or legs to no more than 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine a few times a week could boost D levels.

Controlling Portion Sizes
Animation Copyright © Milner-Fenwick
In addition to paying attention to what we eat to help us lose weight, it's important to focus on how much we eat. Today, most portion sizes considered normal actually contain much more food than you need.
"Now I am more conscious about portions when I'm eating. I love pizza just like anybody else, but you can't down a whole pizza, and you can't do it on a daily basis."
Look at this plate. It might be considered a normal meal at home or in a restaurant. However, it has very large portions of meat and potato with very little vegetables.
A healthier meal would contain smaller portions of the high calorie meat and potatoes. For meat, the serving size is about the size and thickness of a deck of playing cards. If this meat portion seems small compared to your normal portion, cutting back a bit at a time will help.
The serving size of a potato is about the size of a computer mouse. In addition, add more nutrient rich low calorie vegetables to balance out this meal.
One of the best tools you can use when practicing portion control is the nutrition facts label that's on almost all packaged foods. It has what a serving size is, and how many calories are in that serving.
To do your own detective work for fresh foods, a scale, measuring cups and spoons, and a calorie-counting book are all you need.
Be mindful of how much you're eating. Distractions can lead to you eat more than you intend to, and often lead to overeating.
Turn off the TV. Enjoy a family dinner together or quiet time to yourself. This will help you enjoy the meal. Eat slowly, and when you are no longer hungry, stop. You might be surprised at how little food it takes to satisfy your hunger.
"Everybody likes to use food for celebration and occasionally for a reward, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's when it's habitual or eating mindlessly, and really we let other people feed us, without any idea of what's a good portion for us."
Now you don't have to say goodbye to everything you love. Just don't eat as big a piece or as many servings of that food. If you've been served a meal that is larger than one portion, split it with a friend, or take half of it home for later.
Managing portion size is an important part of long term, permanent weight loss success.

Midwest Living Review
Colorful mosaics on the columns and bright blue tablecloths with terra-cotta pitchers holding flatware are just two hints at the fun atmosphere of this bistro. A second-story balcony looks down on the main floor, like they expect some people-watching to go on here. On the other hand, along the front wall of windows are a couple of nooks for two, so privacy can be had. The food puts an exclamation mark after the message of have fun. Tapas, paellas, gazpacho, one-bite plates, seasonal features using fresh and local products, several tasting flights -- it's all about bold flavors. You can get everything from a wake-me-up breakfast (breakfast nachos are $5.99) to a cool-me-down dessert. For us, a tasting plate of tarts and sweets, including a peanut butter tart and chocolate-almond cupcakes, vied for attention with the whiskey-soaked cake and brownie sandwiching caramel-pecan ice cream (both $4.99). The heat of the day made the layered dessert a natural. And there were no regrets about biting into the frozen treat while chatting with the friendly bartender who made us a perfect pot of tea using a French press.

Comfortable, Flattering Pants
I really like these pants. They fit well, are flattering, and well made. They are comfortable.
Wayne, NJ
Never Disappointed
The quality of these pants are wonderful. I recently loss a lot of weight and could not fit my first pair. I had to get a second pair. There is no shrinking, and no fading when washed.
Dallas, Texas
Be Careful Washing & Drying!
I read the reviews and ordered size 6P even though I normally wear an 8. They fit perfectly everwhere but the length. They were a 28" length vs. the 30" they were supposed to be and were far too short - so disappointing. But the fabric and style were perfect so I sent back the petites and ordered the 6 regular and they were much too long. *sigh* That's the bad news, but the good news is that after putting them in the dryer, they shrunk to a perfect length. I wish the price was more reasonable because I would order another pair.
Love the fit and quality. I get compliments on them too, wanting to know where I got them. Didn't notice any shrinking when washed.
Hurricane, UT
Very Disapointed
Price-$39.99 over priced for quality--shrinks one whole size after washing. Would not buy another pair. Very disappointed.
Love 'Em
I ordered these in my size, 4p. I love the way they fit, especially across the butt. They are comfortable,& look nice. After reading everyone else's reviews about buying smaller I wondered what was wrong that mine fit. I decided that they must want tighter legs, but a smaller size for me would not have worked as I doubt if I could have gotten them around my waist. I will warn buyers, they do shrink up & where I was wearing a wedged heeled shoe before washing, I now wear flats so that the pant leg reaches the top of them. Otherwise,like someone else said, they become "high water" pants. :)This is not stopping me from buying another pair in a different color! Love 'em.
El Paso, Tx
I like my clothes somewhat roomy. I normally wear a 10 but have had some recently bought pants too fitted for my liking so bought a 12, washed them, dried them on high. They are still too big. I love these pants otherwise so am buying three pair in size 10. The material is very nice.
Give me comfort
San A, Texas
I read reviews before ordering as to the sizes running a bit large. I normally wear a 10 in jeans/pants so ordered one pair in 10 & one in 8. The 8 fit even a bit too large for my liking and the 10 felt like a 12 so returned those and ordered a size 6. Those just arrived and fit like a glove! I have not washed either size yet so cannot comment about how they fit afterward but overall, I LOVE these pants once I got the perfect size, so comfortable and a very flattering look. Now PLEASE offer them in black!
Connie B
Too Short After Washing
I have been wanting these pants for some time, always need a good pair of cargos. I ordered size 4. I was leery because I normally order Tall sizes but 6T would be too big. 32' inseam usually works. Well, I was wrong. After washing these pants, according to instructions, they shrunk so much that I am embarrassed to wear them (unless I wear boots) because I now have high waters. Eventually I may be able to get the 6T. As a mom with 3 children, I don't have the luxury to run out and purchase more pants. It is a shame because other that that, I LOVE the fit and the feel of the fabric. Very comfortable. I use all of the pockets with my job and they just look good. I ordered the olive and nickel. The olive didn't shrink up as much as the nickel. I would give these a 5 star if only....
Atlanta, Ga
Love These
I read all the reviews and even thought twice about ordering 1 size down because it was said that they run big. I did NOT order a size down. I am a 6 and ordered a 6. When they arrived and I tried them on, I was so bummed because they were too big. I was kicking myself. I really didn't want to send them back and wait for a new size, so I washed them in cold water and put them in the dryer on normal...and they fit PERFECT! I want to order more. I wish there were more colors to choose from. Very comfy.
Upstate NY
Great Casual Pants!
I just got these (in Stone) 2 weeks ago and have worn them 4 times already! They are very, very comfortable and stylish! I bought size 10 Tall because I was not sure of the fit, but will order a size 8 Tall next time. They do run a bit big, but I do not really mind the extra room in the first pair I purchased - These are for shopping weekends and running around... I wear them with my nice Travel Smith cargo jackets/utility style shirts. I do not think these should be TIGHT fitting... I want all of the colors! The length seems a bit shorter than the other "tall" pant items I have purchased on this site, but they are still better than typical regular lengths on me. I DO RECOMMEND!!!
Orange County, CA
Love these pants
Love these pants. The material is of good quality and I like the feel and stretch. I have ordered two more pair in nickel and stone which are currently on back order. Wish they came in brown and navy too! Great fit!
Lafayette, IN
These are so comfortable. I have to wear a rather bulky knee brace under my pants and these fit perfectly. Most jeans or slacks I try on do not fit over the brace. Love the fit!
Go down a size
I ordered a 12T and a 10T. The 12 is my usual size. It was roomy and with the stretch component I could tell I would be swimming in them if I wore them all day. The 10 fit snugly but comfortably.The only problem - the zipper was broken on the 10's. I was able to try them on by buttoning the fly top. I have returned both pairs. To exchange the 12's and to replace the 10's I hope this is not a quality problem with the pants. I really like them. They have a great weight and seem constructed nicely.It was VERY frustrating to have paid $$$$ extra for express shipping, only to have a faulty product that I had to return. Now, I don't have the pants for an upcoming trip and I paid a lot of extra money for nothing. Sigh
redding, ca
Quality, comfortable and cute pants.
I am so impressed with the quality of these pants. I ordered the nickel, and yes they do run BIG, I can deal with this first pair being very loose. When stocked up again I will order a size down. LOVE THESE PANTS!!
Hartford City
Best pants ever
Perfect for work, can be dressed up or down. Really slimming. I am 5'4" with hips. I don't like tight pants and am very picky. Normally an 8 - 10, tried the petite in 12. Love them, am always asked if I've lost weight. I'd buy 5 more pairs if they wold come back in stock!
New Orleans, LA
These pants are just what is pictured. I ordered a 10T. The length is great, the fit is great. I am ordering another pair today.
Great but run a little large.
I have been looking at these pants for awhile. I finally bought the stone, then later bought the black,which are on backorder. They are very comfortable but do run a size larger.
West Monroe, LA.
love these!
I'm so glad I read the reviews before buying these. These run big, so order a size smaller. Love the fit, and quality is very good too.......
Honey Brook, PA
Good and bad
The pants definitely run big. Mine were nice at first but quickly stretched out and were too big. Order a size smaller. Otherwise I like the pants a lot.
Orchard Park, NY
Nice but runs a size larger.
I ordered a size 4. I usually wear a size 4 or 6, however size 4 was swimming on me. These are really nice cargo pants and wish they came in a size 2, but alas, these will have to go back. I gave the pants a high rating for style, comfort and material, but be warned that the sizing runs at least 1 or 2 sizes larger than tagged.
Castro Valley, CA
Very comfortable
These pants are exactly as they are pictured. They are soft and comfortable to wear and can be dressed up or worn to a rock concert. I love them and also plan to order the stone-colored ones right away.

Auto-start at reboot
Main points to consider for auto-start applications
- By default, auto-start should not be on. It's allowed for certain types of applications, such as anti-virus and device management application.
- User can set auto-start on when installing the application and change the setting later on from the application settings.
- The option to on/off auto-start in settings can never be hidden and must not be protected by a security code.
- Auto-start feature has been implemented correctly; meaning that it is implemented using Startup List Management API in S60 3rd Edition. See article "How to autostart an application on boot up in 3rd- Startup List Management API" for details.
- Removing the memory card when application is auto-starting, does not cause anything unexpected and harmful (device to reboot itself, jam, etc.).
- In case the application marked auto-start earlier is set to off, the device boots up properly. Also if the auto start application is exited it does not impact the device functionality in any ways.
How to skip Auto-Start Applications
There are situations when we might want to skip the applications which load themselves automatically - which are generally called autostart applications.
These applications may be unwanted or may be taking much more time to load. Hence, to skip any auto-start applications that are normally run at startup:
Press the "pencil key" after turning on the phone and hold it down until the PIN code query is displayed.
This technique works on all the available S60 devices.
Note: I don't think this is true - Looking at 3 random S60 devices - N95, 6700 Slide and E71 none of them even has a pencil key
How to control auto-start
There are cases where you want to detect if the application auto-started or was it started manually by the user from the application's menu.
The link details how to find that out on Symbian C++ TSS000371 - How can I disable autostart if it is enabled? How can I make autostart /autoboot dynamic?.
You might also want to disable auto-start by default, it can be done as detailed on the wiki link Disabling autostart by default.
Limitations of managing autostart of other applications
3rd party applications can not control what applications are autostarted or not, see the link KIS001322 - Managing the autostart feature of 3rd party applications for more details.

Moore told the newspaper after Monday's 7-1 loss to the Orioles of his decision to have Tommy John ligament replacement surgery, saying the discomfort he felt during an afternoon throwing session made it clear he could not pitch with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament.
"What was coming out, it's a shame to be have to be shut down right now but it just wasn't comfortable," Moore said. "Being stuck in the position I am right now, where it's not exactly comfortable but it's not exactly completely broke, it's kind of one of those things where you know it's going to get worse."
Moore finishes 2014 with an 0-2 record and 2.70 ERA in 10 innings.
Moore has compiled a 29-17 and 3.53 ERA over 347 innings in the majors. He turns 25 in June.
Noted specialist Dr. James Andrews will perform the surgery on April 22.
Adding to the Rays' pitching woes, an MRI over the weekend revealed that Alex Cobb could miss up to six weeks with a strained oblique. And righty Jeremy Hellickson is still recovering from elbow surgery and has yet to make a start this season.
To compound the problems, righty Jake Odorizzi, who was supposed to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, came down with an illness prior to Monday's 7-1 loss to Baltimore. The Rays sent Odorizzi back to the hotel to get rest, but he is still expected to play.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon is ready to embrace the challenge.
"Sometimes adversity brings out the best in all of us," Maddon said. "We'll fight our way through this also. I don't get despondent. From our perspective, it's about being consistent. These are our 25 guys and I have a lot of confidence in them. Maybe it's about manipulating it a little bit differently. We feel good about our guys. I know we're going to start hitting. We might have to win that 7-6 game or that 5-4 or 8-7 game now, which we have not been doing to this point. It's a one-run game in a different form."
For the time, Maddon could go with Chris Archer, Odorizzi, David Price, Cesar Ramos and Erik Bedard in the starting rotation. If one of these pitchers struggles, the team could look for help with one of its minor league affiliates.
Maddon, however, has dealt with the injury bug before, and is ready to move forward.
"I believe we're fine, I believe we'll be able to work through," said Maddon. "We've done it in the past. But, of course, this is when you create conjecture. It's wonderful. It's a big part of our game. From my perspective, it's about the 25 guys that are here today. We have to win this game somehow."

Lamb Chops in Cherry and Port Sauce
I have been enjoying lamb a lot recently. The other day I came across this recipe for lamb chops in a dried cherry and port sauce that sounded so good that I just had to try it. I really liked the sound of the cherry sauce and mint with lamb. I picked up some lamb chops from a local butcher and they were well over an inch thick and they had a nice sized layer of fat around them. I was a bit worried that they would not cook up too well but it worked out for the best. The thickness meant that I was able to get a really nice sear and caramelization on the top and bottom of the lamb but it was still perfectly medium rare in the middle. I left the layer of fat on the lamb chops for cooking and it helped keep them perfectly moist and tender. These lamb chops were easily the most perfectly cooked lamb chops that I have ever had. I will have to remember to ask for thickly cut lamb chops from now on. The sauce came together quickly and was very tasty! The cherry and port flavours went really well with the strong flavour of the lamb. My only complaint would be that lamb chops in general are too small and they disappeared too quickly.
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 lamb chops
salt and pepper to taste
3 shallots (chopped)
1/2 cup ruby Port
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
3 tablespoons cherry jam
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon mint (chopped)
1. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Add the lamb chops and cook until they reach the desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side to get a thick chop to medium rare.
4. Set the lamb aside and drain the drippings from the pan.
5. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute.
6. Add the port, broth, cherries, cherry jam, balsamic vinegar and cardamom and deglaze the pan.
7. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until it thickens to form a sauce, about 6-10 minutes.
8. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Pour the sauce over the lamb and garnish with the chopped mint.

|The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization [PAHO/WHO] Representation for the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands Announces the Opening of its Newly Relocated Office
The Pan American Health Organization, regional office of the World Health Organization for the Americas announces the opening of its newly relocated office for The Bahamas and The Turks and Caicos Islands, which is located on the second floor, Grosvenor Medical Centre, situated at Grosvenor Close, Shirley Street in Nassau.
Dr. Gerarda Eijkemans, PAHO/WHO Representative Bahamas (and Turks and Caicos)
The opening ceremony will take place on Monday, 12th December, 2011, and will involve a high level of participation by officials of the Government, as well as PAHO's regional office in Washington, DC, USA. The Honourable T. Brent Symonette, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Foreign Affairs; will lead the official ribbon cutting ceremony of the refurbished office in downtown.
PAHO/WHO was first established in The Bahamas in 1978 as a sub-regional office of the Jamaica Office. By 1982, it was upgraded to a full Country Office Status.
Since then, an important and healthy relationship has evolved, and although the priorities have shifted, PAHO/WHO has contributed significantly to the health of the population of this nation.
In accordance with the Agreement that was signed in 1974, the Government and people of The Bahamas have certainly complied with and provided the necessary support to enable the Organization to achieve its mandate; and the beautifully refurbished office space is another example of this.
In its efforts to improve health, PAHO targets the most vulnerable groups such as mothers and children, workers, the poor, the elderly, and refugees and migrants.

The Organization strongly focuses on issues related to equity for those who lack access to health, and on a Pan-American approach, which encourages countries to work together on common issues.
Its core values are reflected in cross cutting issues such as gender equity, human rights and social protection, just to mention a few.
Dr. Gerarda Eijkemans, PAHO/WHO Representative Bahamas (and Turks and Caicos), presenting her credentials to The Hon. T. Brent Symonette, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Foreign Affairs on 15th November, 2011
The current endeavor of tackling the pending agenda of infectious and neglected diseases, the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and linking health to development, calls for a rigorous, up-to-date and strong response based on the best practices of health promotion and a true inter-sectorial approach.
PAHO/WHO, although working primarily with the health sector, actively advocates for the participation of all members of the society. PAHO/WHO strongly believes that measures needed for primary prevention on an adequate population-wide scale lie beyond the direct control of ministries of health. Making a difference will largely depend on action taken by non-health sectors.

The Thirty Years' War was a series of political and religious wars that lasted from 1618 until 1648. They were mainly caused by the political rivalry between Catholic and Protestant princes in Germany, and the interest of foreign powers in German affairs.More
Vienna, the political and cultural center of Europe, was host to a conference of the major European powers at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The negotiations at the Congress of Vienna, which lasted almost nine months during 1814 and 1815, had the formidable objective of partitioning the nations of Europe in the wake of Napoleon Bonaparte's turbulent military campaign. This task was accomplished on June 8, 1815, by the Treaty of Vienna. The dominant members in the conference were the major victors of the war: Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Britain. However, delegates from a host of other powers were present, including Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Bavaria, Saxony, and the Papacy, among others. Although a defeated power, France was still a powerful one that remained capable of quickly raising a large army and consequently, it was represented at the Congress.More
In 1152, the German princes elected as their king, Frederick Barbarossa, whose name means Red-Beard, and who was from the House of Hohenstaufen. Frederick considered it his mission to reconstruct the German monarchy, and aimed to harness the new feudal forces of the age to his advantage. Thus, Frederick encouraged the princes of the realm to expand their own power and privileges at the expense of lesser lords. At the same time, he forced the princes to recognize his lordship over the entire kingdom. In essence, Frederick made the ducal princes his tenants-in-chief or feudal vassals.More
The movement toward German unification began in the first half of the 19th century. Once completed, its impact on the course of European history was immeasurable. The trend toward unification began with a power struggle between the two most prominent German states, Prussia and Austria, each seeking to control a unified Germany. Prussia eventually emerged victorious and became the dominant state in the unified Germany.More
As far back as 500 BC, the north central region now known as Germany was once occupied by the Celts and at its northern reaches Teutonic tribes. By 113 BC, German tribes began to invade along the Mediterranean in 113 BC, the Romans started their campaigns to push these Germani back. Their efforts against the Germanic tribes included many successful campaigns under the Roman general Gaius Marius, and then later by Julius Caesar in 55 and 53 BC.More
Bavaria, which was a part of the Roman Empire until the 5th century, was named after the ancient tribe of the "Bajuvaren", who settled in the region after the period of Roman occupation. In the 6th century, the German territories were inhabited by Saxons in north central Germany, East Franks along the lower Rhine, Thuringians between them, Bavarians along the middle Danube, and Swabians between the upper Rhine and Upper Danube and along the Northern Alps. In the 9th century, the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne incorporated Bavaria into his Empire despite the heroic attempts at resistance made by the Bavarian Duke Tassilo.More
An area which surrounds the Rhine River, one of Germany's most vital waterways, the Rhineland is renowned for its agricultural and industrial wealth. The Rhur Valley in the North is one of the world's most heavily industrialized areas and the vineyards of Mosel in the South have produced wines that are internationally acclaimed. The "Romantic Rhineland" has been immortalized in numerous ancient folk songs and fables. The region was occupied by the Romans, who founded many of the region's beautiful and historic cities as Roman settlements. After the fall of the Roman Empire, barbarian tribes conquered the German provinces and the Franks dominated the Rhineland. Nevertheless, the Rhineland was again brought under Germanic rule when Charlemagne, the greatest of the medieval kings, brought the barbarian tribes under the central order of the Holy Roman Empire.More
Westphalia, which means western plain, is the contemporary Bundesland, or state, of Nordrhein-Westfalen. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, the Saxons inhabited the territories in north central Germany. Westphalia was a part of the old duchy of Saxony, which included most of the land between the Rhine and the Elbe between the 9th and 12th centuries. In the 9th century, the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne incorporated Saxony and the other German duchies into the Carolingian Empire. Charlemagne's conquest brought temporary unity to the duchies, but the collapse of the Carolingian Empire loosened these bonds of common order. Tribal consciousness and local particularism fought all centralizing influences until the late 19th century.More
Considered the Charlemagne of Germany, Otto I (936-73) was only twenty-four years old at the time of his accession, but he was already a king in conduct and facility. It was through his canny state-craft and iron will that Otto I became the first Holy Roman Emperor and earned the appellation Otto the Great.More
At the end of the 15th century, in the glorious period known as the Renaissance, the German states in the Holy Roman Empire lacked strong, unified central governments and local nobles or small political units fragmented political authority. Local powers, such as cities, nobles and princes, remained autonomous and prevented the Holy Roman Empire from utilizing its resources and organizing itself like the new monarchies in the other European states. At the same time, the population was rising and trade was increasing.More
The Protestant Reformation was a momentous event in human history. Initially, the Reformation was a 16th century religious movement aimed at reforming abuses in the Roman Catholic Church. During the late Middle Ages, people began to express their dissatisfaction with some of the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church. In particular, many people were against the selling of indulgences, which allowed people to "buy their way out" of being punished for their sins after death.More
Lower Saxony, which includes most of the land between the Rhine and the Elbe rivers and is composed of the regions of Brunswick, or Braunschweig, and Lueneburg, was originally part of the old duchy of Saxony. The duchy of Saxony was in existence between the 9th and 12th centuries.More
Switzerland was originally inhabited by a Celtic population, who were named Helvetians by the Romans. Between the 3rd and 5th centuries, the Alemannen tribes swept down from the north and conquered the northern and eastern part of Switzerland. The southwestern part of Switzerland was ruled by the Burgundians, who had settled in France. In the 6th century, theFranks took control of the part of Switzerland that was part of the duchy of Swabia. The smaller south-western portion of the country remained under Burgundian domination at this time. The Burgundian Swiss spoke French, a language division that remains today.More
The Teutonic Knights was a military and religious order that was founded in the late 12th century by German merchant crusaders. During the Third Crusade, in about 1190, German pilgrims to Palestine organized the Teutonic Knights for the defense of the roads to Palestine. They expanded their territories eastwards and supported their colonization by building fortresses as they moved. Except for some church territories, the Knight's Empire stretched from Prussia to Estonia on the Baltic coast. In 1198, the Teutonic Knights became an order of knights that was confined to Germans of noble birth. The style of the Order also became increasingly military. In 1229, the knights embarked on an extensive campaign in Prussia. After the conquest of this German territory, they transferred their headquarters from Transylvania (Rumania) to Prussia, where they became the armed vanguard of the German eastward expansion.More
West Prussia was situated on the Vistula River, between Brandenburg-Prussia and East Prussia. Similar to East Prussia, West Prussia was originally a Prussian territory under the duchy of Pomerelien, but it was incorporated into the Empire of the Teutonic Knights, in 1309. The Teutonic Knights, whose Empire stretched to the land of Estonia to on the Baltic coast, were a military and religious order of German nobles. The knights built several fortified castles, the most famous being Marienburg which was the seat of the Knights Hochmeister, or grand master. In the Teutonic Knight's Empire, the tribes were converted to Christianity.More
The German state of Silesia was named after the Silingers, who were a Germanic tribe that lived in Silesia between the 2nd and the 6th centuries. Silesia became a part of the Polish Kingdom at the end of the 11th century. In 1163, when a struggle for succession occurred, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa installed two Piast princes as the dukes of Upper and Lower Silesia. In 1335, Silesia became attached to the kingdom of Bohemia, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire. By the end of the 14th century, Silesia consisted of fourteen separate principalities and Breslau, reestablished in 1250 as a German city, became a trading center between East and West. The dukes of Silesia eventually exchanged their allegiance to Poland for that of their neighbor Bohemia, and as the Piast dynasty gradually died out, their lands became crown properties of Bohemia. As a result of its dependency on Bohemia, Silesia came under the control of the house of Hapsburg in 1526.More
Swabia, which was a medieval dukedom, was located in southwestern Germany. In the 1st century, Swabia was settled by the tribe of the Sueben who came from central Germany and drove the Celts to Gaul (France). After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Germanic Alemans from the north and the Bajuvaren from the east entered the region. These tribes were in turn defeated by the Franks under Clovis in 496.More
At present, Westphalia, which means western plain, is the contemporary Bundesland or state of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The state of Nordrhein-Westfalen was formed in 1945 largely from the Prussian provinces of the Rhine and Westphalia. Until the Napoleonic conquest, the area was divided among numerous small powers. After the Congress of Vienna ended the Napoleonic Wars, the region was granted to Prussia.More

10. 14 April, Early evening
Early evening of 14 April
Orders is orders, an' the Dark Lord's orders — well, I clawed my way up ter Captain 'cause I knew 'oo I could cross, an' he weren't one of 'em.
Orders is: drive the white-flag tarks down ter the stinkin' river, an' let the red-flag tarks — his snivellin' bootlickers — do all the killin'.
But this rabble o' stinkin' mountain maggots don't like them orders. Garn! Think they're gonna cross me?
There's benefits o' bein' the Captain... like givin' these stinkin' snagas a little discipline, all proper-like. Looks like my job is ter skewer a few, just ter show 'em 'oo's boss.
'Ang back an' 'and the white tarks ter the red 'uns for killin', just 'cause the reds're the Dark Lord's stinkin' tark-pets? They're gutless, an' they'll waste the best booty!
Us snagas know this, but the stinkin' captains — so scared o' their stinkin' Dark Lord — pricked the stupid swine as snarled it out loud. So we shut up....
But lots of us'll die in this battle, an' maybe some as dies first will be them captains. We'll see ter that. Then we'll make some sport!
Tarks is tarks, an' our victory feast'll taste sweeter with both red meat an' white.

RF Online
RF Online, or Rising Force Online, is a 3D Sci Fi MMORPG currently being published by CCR. Although the game's general theme is sci-fi there are a lot of generic fantasy themes built into the game. RF Online was originally released as a pay to play game by Codemasters, but has since became free to play. The game takes place in the distant future where the game's three factions are struggling for control over the universes natural resources.
Publisher: GamesCampus
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: High Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Open PvP / RvR /
Filesize: ~ 1700 MB
Pros: +Great original music. +Unique skill system. +Large player run economy. +Gorgeous graphics. +Good interface. +Good tutorial.
Cons: -Starting equipment absurdly powerful. -Repetitive combat. -Powerful monsters in newbie areas.
RF Online Overview
RF Online, or Rising Force Online, is an interesting 3D Sci-Fi MMORPG. The game is one of the only sci-fi MMORPGs out there, which is a shame as the genre has so much potential. The game's best aspects are its original music and gorgeous graphics. The game takes place in a distant planet in the 'novus' system where each of the game's three factions, Accretian Empire, Bellato Federation and The alliance of Cora fight it out to gain control of natural resources in the area. The game's four playable classes are:
Warrior -Warriors are the primary 'tank' class in RF Online. They have the most hit points and are effective at dealing heavy damage in melee range. They are capable of wearing the best armor and can use a variety of melee weapons.
Ranger - Rangers are specialized at using ranged weapons to deal damage. They are vulnerable in close quarters combat but
Specialist- Specialists are RF Online's hybrid class. They are capable of using all several types of weapons and armor, but they lack the strength of a a warrior, but are the only class in the game that can craft items.
Spiritualist- Spirtualists are the generic caster archetype. They are capable of dealing massive damage from a distance using their 'force' spells but have relatively low hit points compared to the other classes. The Accretians do not have access to the Spiritualist class.

RF Online Review
By, Omer Altay
RF Online is a beautifully animated 3D Sci-fi MMORPG currently being published by CCR (update: recently its publisher changed to GamesCampus). The game was originally released by Codemasters as a 'pay-to-play' game, but was since re-released as a free to play game once the player base started to dwindle. The best aspect of 'pay to play' games going 'free to play' is that they usually have a higher production value and just feel as if the developers put a lot of effort into the game. This is of course not true for all games, but is remarkably true for RF Online, as everything from the game's graphics to music to interface is top notch. If you're interested in Sci Fi themed MMOs, RF Online is one of the few, so well worth checking out.The premise of the game is simple; each of the game's three factions are competing for control of natural resources and whichever nation gains control of the special resources can physically mine the special ore and gain other faction wide bonuses.
Factions and Races
Character creation is pretty straight forward in RF Online; select one of the game's three factions and customize your character to your liking. Keep in mind each faction is its own race, but don't worry about which faction you pick because players are allowed to create multiple characters and are free to create characters on the other faction at anytime. Each of the game's three factions has their own strengths and weaknesses. The Cora Alliance for example has strong spell casters while the Accretia Empire has access to more powerful melee characters. In fact, the Accretia aren't even allowed to create 'Ritualists' which are RF Online's primary spell caster class. The Accretia are interesting in that they are the only faction that is made up of entirely mechs, as their faction is composed entirely of cyborgs. The game's third faction, the Bellato Federation, are an industrial nation capable of building large armored battle mechs that they can use in war against the other two factions.
Genuinely Fun Gameplay
Rf Online does something that a lot of MMORPGs don't do, innovate. The skill system in the game is extremely innovative and it works remarkably well. Instead of the traditional 'level up and get skill points' approach, RF Online has a system that rewards players as they use skills. Each skill in the game gains experience as the player uses it, and can level up multiple times. So the more often you use that double slash, the stronger it will get. I'm surprised other games haven't employed similar 'skill' progression systems as the generic skill point system is starting to get old, and it makes much more sense for skills to improve as players use them. Each skill can level up a certain amount of times, some more than others and as they level up the skills effectiveness increases. Hypothetically, players can level up all of their skills to maximum given that they spend enough time using them, which is certainly interesting because it adds a lot of playability to the game. RF Online's overall game mechanics are overall quite fluid and functional and it has an ample amount of quests to complete which are offered to players as soon as they level up, so no need to run back to town to look for quests!
This may kill the game…
The single biggest complaint I have with RF Online is the fact that game provides new players with ridiculously overpowered weapons that would normally be accessible only at level 40 or higher. I'm not sure what was going on when the folks over at CCR decided it was a good idea for newbies to start with an array of weapons that can pretty much '1 shot' anything that moves for the first 15 levels. When I first played RF Online when Codemasters published it, they didn't have any of this nonsense. Players are supposed to start out with a basic weapon that deals 10-20 damage, but instead they start out with dual plasma swords that deal 1054-1500 and a handful of other weapons. Just to emphasize how ridiculous this is, my character started out with a rocket launcher that fired 'Giga Nucleaur Warheads'. If that doesn't sound over powered, I don't know what does. The warheads can kill any group of enemies in a single hit in a small area. The fact that newbies start off with such powerful weapons totally kills a large portion of the game, as players will never need to purchase new weapons or try and complete quests that provide weapons as rewards. The reason I play MMORPGs is to try and make my character as powerful as possible, but if I start out ridiculously powerful, there's no reason to play. CCR, the game's publisher, better get their act together and address this issue, otherwise the game isn't going to go anywhere.
Other Features
RF Online has a lot of things to do and is certainly one of the best looking games out there. One interesting feature in the game is its political system which is similar to that of Archlord's. Each week, the player with the most contribution points on each faction becomes the leader of that faction. The leader of a faction is capable of speaking to all players and understanding the language of the game's other factions, which normal players cannot do. Contribution points are gained through completing quests and participating in the game's faction based PvP. Another positive aspect of RF Online is that game's job advancement system, as since every class can ascend to a new class at level 30 and once again at level 40, which spices up the game by adding variety to it. Perhaps the game's most impressive feature is one that a lot of players won't appreciate; the game's music. The only other game which has music that is on par with RF Online's is Sword of the New World. If you're a gamer that appreciates quality music, you certainly won't be disappointed with RF Online.
What the crap?
One aspect of RF Online that had me puzzled was the distribution of monsters across the game. You would imagine that the game's developers would place lower level monsters and NPCs near the starting areas and more powerful monsters in the game's later areas, but for some reason that's not how it works here. It's not uncommon to find high level monsters that are capable of 'one shotting' you near the newbie areas, so keep your guard up. Even with the ridiculously over powered starting weapons, newbies won't be able to kill higher level monsters as they are difficult to hit and usually have massive amounts of armor.
Final Verdict: Good
Even with RF Online's obvious flaws, the game is still incredibly polished and has a lot to offer. It's also one of the only Sci-Fi MMORPGs out there to, which in and of itself makes the game a bit more unique. The main drawback to the game is the fact that players start with ridiculously over powered weapons, but that's something I hope the publisher will quickly change. If RF Online wasn't your cup of tea though, I'd recommend checking out other Sci Fi MMOs like Anarchy Online, Ace Online and Zero Online.
