DEFINITION of 'IRS Publication 51 '
A document published by the Internal Revenue Service that provides the employers of agricultural workers with guidance on how to comply with tax withholdings. Farm employers are sometimes required to register with the U.S. Department of Labor, and are not allowed to label farm employees as independent contractors. Agricultural employers are to report each individual employee's Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes on Form 943, and Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) on Form 940. Both forms are due by January 31.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'IRS Publication 51 '
Most farm workers pay Social Security and other federal taxes, just like non-agricultural employees. Foreign agricultural workers in the United States with H-2A visas are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes. Payments made to foreign workers are not considered wages and thus do not have income taxes withheld, but are reported on Form 1099-MISC and still are taxed.
More information about taxes for agricultural workers can be found in Publication 225 (Farmer's Tax Guide). Employers of non-agricultural workers should refer to Publication 15 (Employer's Tax Guide), Publication 15-A (Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide) and Publication 15-B (Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits).

My only complaint is that the product photo depicts the green as a pastel but the actual color of the card is an apple green. Not a deal breaker but I would have preferred the pastel green. For this reason I am only giving it 4 stars."

Asia Tanker, VLCC Rates Could Climb
Charterers to release 30 Middle East VLCC cargoes next week. VLCC market buoyed by upbeat Suezmax, Aframax sectors. Rates for very large crude carriers (VLCCs) on key Asian routes are set to continue the rebound that started on Wednesday with a raft of new cargo requirements and upbeat sentiment, brokers said. Brokers anticipated charterers would ramp up the number of VLCC cargoes from the Middle East to be loaded in the first 10 days of December. "There will be the best part of 30 cargoes to fix next week which is going to change everything," said a Singapore-based VLCC broker on Friday. "The market will certainly be firm if it doesn't run away with itself," the broker said. Charterers have drip-fed cargoes over the last three weeks, pushing rates lower. But the smaller Suezmax and Aframax tanker sectors had become busier this week, with Suezmax rates from West Africa rising to their highest level since January, Norwegian broker Fearnley said in a note on Wednesday. This had buoyed sentiment among VLCC owners. Singapore Petroleum Corp paid 51.50 on the Worldscale measure to fix the 301,045 dwt (deadweight tonne) Koho 1 for a voyage from the Middle East to Singapore, which was slightly above the market rate, according to Reuters chartering data. "When the tanker markets are all aligned like that it's a strong story for owners," the broker said.
BWTS Fitting on Japanese VLCC a First
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) plan to install a ballast water treatment system on an in-service very large crude oil carrier (VLCC). This will be the first such onboard system installed by any Japanese shipowner on an existing VLCC. The company chose the JFE Ballast Ace system developed by JFE Engineering Corporation. The installation will take place while the vessel is docked from March through April. Ballast water discharged while loading/discharging cargo carries marine organisms
Gulf Navigation to Buy Supertanker
According to a January 3 report from Gulf News, Gulf Navigation Holding confirmed its acquisition of a very large crude carrier (VLCC). The vessel, built in 2006 and with a 300,000 deadweight tonne capacity, can carry up to two million barrels of oil.The Gulf Eyadah will join the operator's other VLCC, Gulf Sheba, which was delivered in late 2007. (Source: Gulf News)
Chinese Petroleum Corp. Exercises VLCC Tender
Taiwan's state-owned Chinese Petroleum Corp (CPC) has bought two very large crude carriers (VLCC) of West African crudes via its September tender, a company official said on Thursday. The volumes were below CPC's usual purchase of three to four VLCCs per month. Each VLCC can load up to two million barrels each. "We have high inventories and not so much requirement," the CPC official said. The details of the tender, which closed on Monday, were still unclear.
VLCC Rates
Eastbound VLCC freight that nearly topped W200 in November is now firmly mired beneath W100. "The market's really lost its way, but much of that is just down to sentiment," said one London tanker broker. Wednesday's fixture lists showed a number of deals hovering around the W100 mark, and even the very modern New Circassia accepted W101 from Stasco for an eastbound trip. Friday's fixture list however, showed the slightly older Musashi Spirit had been fixed at W90 to Japan
TEN Acquires VLCC
Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (TEN) recently acquired the 299,700 dwt double hull VLCC M/T Maersk Estelle, built in Denmark in 1994, from the AP Moller / Maersk Group.

Hellespont Places Order With Samsung
Piraeus-based Hellespont Shipping Corp. has contracted Samsung Heavy Industries for the first two vessels in a new class of VLCC's. The contract also calls for the option to build two optional ships - with delivery beginning in the last quarter 2001. With a lightweight of 46,500-tons, the vessels will form a new standard for large tanker strength and speed - while equipped with various features. The ABS and LR-approved structures and scantlings will be 10 percent in excess of both rules.
MISC Buys Aframax Tankers
MISC Bhd has bought four Aframax tankers from Japan's Tsuneishi Corp for $260m. The first unit of the 107,500-deadweight tonnage (DWT) tankers will be delivered in 2009, while the rest in 2010, MISC said in a statement. It added that the continuous expansion of MISC's petroleum fleet under American Eagle Tankers (AET), supported by regional offices in London, Singapore and Houston will provide it with the critical mass to better serve its customers globally.
Norway's DHT Holdings Orders One More VLCC
DHT Holdings, Inc. says it has taken up its option to construct another VLCC at Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea on the same terms as for two others ordered earlier. The contract price of US$92.7-million, includes certain additions and upgrades to the standard specification. The company's current orderbook thus consists of three VLCCs ordered at HHI that are scheduled for delivery in April, July and September 2016. About DHT Holdings, Inc.
Asia VLCC Rates: Ample Tonnage, Few Cargoes
Owners resist charterers moves to force rates under W50; West Africa cargo volumes remain steady. Rates for very large crude carriers (VLCCs) on key Asian routes will face further pressure next week even as owners resist attempts to push rates lower, brokers said.
DHT Holdings Time Charters 4 Vessels
Announcing a term chartering update, DHT Holdings, Inc. has chartered out a VLCC, two Aframax vessels and a Suezmax vessel. The VLCC DHT Chris has been chartered to a major commodity house for a period of about 10 months from February 2015 at a rate of $45,000 per day.

Larger Tankers May Offer Better Return Chances
Investors looking for returns in the tanker markets can invest their capital in a variety of ways. Should an owner invest in a VLCC or an Aframax? How about an LR2 or an MR2? What is the historical rate of return for these tankers? Which tanker class is the riskiest? These questions face owners
Asia VLCC Rates Could Could Climb Even More

Peter Jones 2: "do your damn job."
As a parent and step-parent, I can hardly express how much I endorse this. The main thing that kids need to avoid is - having kids. Parenthood is intensely rewarding but frustrating, onerous and serious. *THAT* is what children need to be taught. By teaching them that sharp things cut; hot things burn; that all drugs - from weed to crack - are (implicitly equally) dangerous; you are really teaching them that it is the school's place to teach this --- and that, years later, school will also shoulder the burden of it when *they* become parents.
The story of King Cnut is applicable in either case: either the informal version where a stupid king cannot stop the tide, or the probably more correct version where a wise king demonstrated to obsequious courtiers that even he could not stop the tide. The point is simply that no-one can stop the tide.
Cnut, ironically, appears one of the names likely to be filtered ...
A "mere" 3 million years? The Himalayas were not around until the dinosaurs weren't: Everest is probably only about 60MY old (~20 times older than this) and it is now over 8.8km above sea level (~250 times more movement). Almost all human development has happened in the last 10% of this time, so just because you can say it quickly, don't forget to really think about how long it is.
It is not useful to say that there is no such thing as analogue simply because things are, or may be, discrete at the Planck level.
In your example, there is such a scale difference between water as a stream of drops and a stream of molecules (which may have different masseses, due to having different isotopes of H or O), that the fact that the reality may be digital at the very smallest level is essentially irrelevant.
Might be in a tiny minority here, but (despite loathing Murdoch) I've never had a problem with SKY. Broadband often a bit sluggish in peak periods, but never any problem with Customer Service or the Engineers. That may be in part because the house has 3 boxes and everything-but-the-porn subscription, so my monthly bill is substantial, or perhaps I've just been very lucky.

Mystic Megabyte: "Big Bang" should always be followed by the word "hypothesis".
Or Theory?
I think @TheOtherHobbes might be right: the most effective stock picks are random, then psychics (slightly less random), then bankers (much less random). If the claim had been that the psychics could beat random, then I would absolutely agree with you that the claim is rubbish, but I can see a mechanism where the more people think they know about stocks, the worse they do (because they exercise the least randomness when choosing).
As I understand it (from doing a PhD back when Noah was a lad), a PhD is not a "course". I was explaining to my kids the other day why, in in general, only felons and weirdos have more than one PhD. Once you have one you have established yourself as someone who can do research - there would be no need to do another one, you could just do another 3 years post-doctoral study, doing research, attending conferences, publishing papers, and maybe teaching students, without writing another thesis (quite often the least valuable form of academic writing). Of course there are honourable exceptions ...
If this were a postgraduate course, I would be sorely tempted. I have always wanted to work in this area, but my career seems to have wanted to go in a different direction.
What is this? Some kind of one-handed shorthand? Or are we talking about SteGAno-pornography?
Great Bu: "Wait - people go on here from home ? Really ? Wow."
Erm, this is 2013. We *work* from home :-)
... I'm just amazed that these were in use without people realizing they were divining rods. Not only in the swinging action of the rod but in the extravagant claims (they could detect *anything*; they worked from the air; they worked on tiny amounts; they worked at enormous range; they worked through shielding and deep underground. Indeed, the only missing claims that a standard dowser would make is that worked even over maps).
No purchaser can have bought them without knowing either that (a) they knew enough science themselves to see it was bogus or that or (b) they knew so little science they needed to consult with someone who could do (a). Buyers were, at the very best, criminally negligent, and at worst, part of the conspiracy.
Further (though not that far) down the chain of command it is clear that many people knew these 'detectors' were total bullshit (I believe that was the word used by an Iraqi Lt) and yet more blame must lie with all those who ignored the shouts that the emperor was in fact naked, whether involved in the purchase or not.
Facebook's policy might look inconsistent to us, and it may be internally inconsistent, but it is entirely consistent with Hollywood mores.
Daniel Voyce: "... use tools to increase my productivity (such as MVC Frameworks) ..."
What is MVC in this context, Model-View-Controller? As written about extensively in Smalltalk-80 about thirty years ago? Despite what the recruiters and the managers think, most of the abilities one needs to be a good developer, and to stay up to date with new trends, would have been familiar to the Ancient Greeks: mathematics, logical reasoning, and a life dedicated to continuous learning and intellectual development.
... isn't this sort of keyword matching recruitment part of the problem?
Maybe if recruiters (not just the agents, but the employers themselves) used people who actually had some technical nouse to decide who gets to do what, we would solve not only the recruitment problem but the software crisis, where we are drowning in absolute rubbish.
But I never submit my CV to recruiting agents, simply because I have never found one that can apply the simple filter of never asking me to do a job whose salary is less than my current one.
"Reader, Flash and Air are - alongside Oracle's Java browser plugin - the screen door through which the raw unfiltered sewage of the internet oozes into the homes of netizens. These products are awful, the security is worse and the management of them over the years beggars belief."

Wife dictated a shopping list of 11 items whilst I was hands free on mobile. I stopped at the shop - it's only a walk from the house but it was on the way home. Bought 11 items. Was sure I'd forgotten something but wife went through shopping and confirmed that my memory was indeed excellent. About 2 hours later I looked out of the window and wondered where the f*** the car was. Had to walk back to the shop so I could drive it home.

A similar argument applies to Time Travel - if it were possible, they'd already have visited.
There are no stupid questions :-) But this might be a stupid answer...
Compress your thought experiment back down to a hundred meters ... You hold one end and tap it - I hold the other and listen. What you are doing is (slightly) moving the rod and transmitting a wave - this travels at the speed of sound (albeit in metal - I think that's around 10x faster than in air) but it's a lot slower than light, never mind instantaneous.
Eadon "I am a master (literally) of physics, mathematics and software engineering"
Does the use of "literally" mean you have a master's degree? Or that you really are a master of all these things? If the latter, who is writing most of your El Reg comments?
Apologies - I intended to be rude about the paper, which is worthless, rather than to yourself.
Firstly. I think it needs to be made clear that Arxiv.org does not have any automatic status. Things that appear here may be e-prints of articles that have appeared in reputable refereed journals, or they may be nothing more than blog posts. And some of those are distinctively cranky - you can easily find proofs of the Riemann Hypothesis or the Goldbach conjecture here.
Secondly, the paper takes an observation (that some trend is near-enough exponential) and applies it to another field as if it were a 'law' - Moore's Law is a misnomer in this regard. Of course, very many natural and artificial processes are logarithmic in nature. But there is no evidence of a mechanism that genetic complexity would increase in a strictly exponential manner. So the evidence is quite weak.
Thirdly the claim is a very strong one. It is one thing to do a little thought experiment and come up with an interesting conclusion (wow, if genetic complexity progression were strictly exponential, there isn't enough time for life to evolve). But the sensible conclusion is that genetic complexity is very unlikely to have progressed in this way - not that life must have come from outer space. They might as well have said that this gives them evidence that the earth is a lot older than they we thought!
Perhaps I was overly irritated because I miss being a scientist (unfortunately other life circumstances ejected me from a world I loved and always wanted to be a part of) and I now spend my time looking at very poor code developed by offshore coders and being told by my managers that it is now too late to do things properly. I can only offer this as an explanation rather than an excuse, but my rudeness was meant to be directed mainly towards the paper, somewhat towards the authors, and not at all towards you.
It's a couple of decades since I got my degree in genetics, and a bit less since I got my PhD in Biochemistry. Interestingly, I was still able to tell that this was utter bollocks within a couple of minutes simply by reading the abstract. I suggest you tweak your bullshit detector.
Whilst I'm unhappy with the idea of 24/7 surveillance, you can't just attack people who are making video-recordings in a public place. Are you going to ram me off the road because I have a dashboard camera?
Anyway, people who want to take hidden video have far better options than Google Glasses, as a quick search on your favourite search engine will confirm. And those wanting to use such facilities for perving would, I guess, prefer to record straight to SD card than risk storing evidence against themselves in the cloud!
... I expected the article to have a guess, but maybe the commentards will be braver?
I agree. Best way to control the 'make phone calls' permission might be to pop a user prompt before every short-code SMS or non geographic number unless a specific permission is given in advance.
I'm safe because I use PAYG - as soon as I top up 15 quid on Three I buy their 500min, 5000 text, AYCE data bundle, which uses the whole amount. The phone will then not make any calls to non-geo numbers, or send premium texts because "your account balance is too low" .
But the telcos could help here by letting you set contractual terms such as requiring additional confirmation to control cost incurred, number of premium SMS that can be sent or number of mins of premium calls that can be made per month.

I presume it is not possible to patent the use of the phrase "Turn Off!" to turn off a television? So why should it be possible to patent a gesture that means the same thing? Sure you can patent the technology that interprets the gesture, but the gesture itself - what's the difference between that and a verbal command?
Anti-drone drones. Pestered by nosey neighbours drones? We'll hunt it down and you can have the DVD of the engagement to cherish and keep ...
Sanitize your fracking inputs! When will companies realise that coders with a clue cost money?
14kWh is 50MJ - is a couple of pounds / dollars worth of energy: a few micrograms of uranium or a couple of litres of diesel. But this is a third of a tonne! Why are we, in the 21st century, so short of ideas for sensible energy storage that we are considering massive flywheels?
"We get to about 5000 copies, which is important for the author, but so irrelevant that it isn't worth Amazon employing someone to add the extra lines of code in their database."
As someone who has been involved in i18n projects, I think it's very unlikely that the effort involved here is that considerable. Amazon only have to add a small premium to Welsh language books to cover it, so - whilst I agree that Welsh should not have any special subsidies, it isn't unreasonable for it to be a supported language.
As for those people who found Welsh language programmes on the telly annoying, a performance of La Traviata I once saw was utterly ruined for me by the near-stage-right presence of a signer, waving their arms and grimacing dramatically, presumably for the benefit of the small proportion of deaf people who (a) go to the opera and (b) are unable to read the surtitles. Now *that's* PC gone mad.

Whether a noob made a mistake or not is largely irrelevant ... if a single person can do this, whether accidentally or deliberately, whether remote or inside the datacentre, the system is already a failure.
... the research also suggests that the preference for bigger members was more marked in women with a bigger BMI. This may be obvious, but I expected some commentards to have something to say about it ...

From XFEL: "Major Chinese research centre signs collaboration agreement"

On 26 March, representatives of the China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP) signed a framework collaboration agreement with European XFEL at the Consulate of the People's Republic of China in Hamburg.
The agreement formalizes CAEP's future involvement in the X-ray free-electron laser facility and is intended to provide the basis for future exchange of staff and students and the development of instrumentation for European XFEL. CAEP is a major research centre that operates 12 research institutes and 15 national laboratories across China. In many scientific institutes across China, there is a rising interest in doing research with X-ray free-electron lasers, and CAEP looks to spearhead Chinese involvement with these facilities.
"As time goes by, I hope we will be able to estimate material properties with ever decreasing uncertainties. One of the significant issues here might be the poor understanding of the phenomena at meso-scale", says CAEP Vice Director Liu Cangli. "We see a powerful XFEL, such as this one under construction in Hamburg, as being the most important tool in terms of taking on this very challenging task."
European XFEL Managing Director Massimo Altarelli says: "We are very happy about the involvement of the CAEP, and we greatly appreciate their interest in the European XFEL. Their expertise across many areas of physics and engineering will be of considerable value to the research at this facility."
See the full article here.
Please help promote STEM in your local schools.
The Hamburg area will soon boast a research facility of superlatives: The European XFEL will generate ultrashort X-ray flashes—27 000 times per second and with a brilliance that is a billion times higher than that of the best conventional X-ray radiation sources.
The outstanding characteristics of the facility are unique worldwide. Starting in 2017, it will open up completely new research opportunities for scientists and industrial users.

|Play Type: Top Premium
5* WISEGUY NBA *BEST BET* on Spurs/Mavs OVER 206.5
Bottom Line: These two teams played in Dallas on Tuesday and combined for just 195 points with a total set at 207. The fact that the books have came right back with essentially the same number, lets us know they aren't concerned about the low-scoring game last time out. Spurs are averaging 107.4 ppg at home on the season and 118.0 ppg over their last 8 home games. Mavs have scored 100+ in 5 of their last 6. OVER is 20-8 in Spurs last 28 home games when listed as a favorite of 9.5 to 12 points and 8-1 in their last 9 home games against teams that are outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game. Pound the OVER 206.5!
Jeff Alexander is truly one of the best shot callers the industry has to offer. He was the No. 1 Ranked NFL Handicapper in the 2006-07 season behind an Insane 63-28 (69%) mark. He also finished as the No. 4 Ranked NFL Handicapper in 2008-09. Jeff finished as the No. 1 Ranked NBA Handicapper in the 2007-08 season, the No. 4 Ranked NBA Capper in the 2008-09 season and the No. 2 Ranked NBA Capper in the 2009-10 season. He has also gotten the job done on the bases and really shined in 2008 when he finished as the No. 2 Ranked MLB Handicapper.
There isn't anyone who is going to outwork Jeff, and the result has been one winning season after another. He uses situational and statistical analysis to handicap games and also studies injury reports, weather reports, motivation, current form, and coaching strategy.
Jeff shies away from no team and holds no biases in his handicapping as he feels that every team has its time to shine as a money maker.
Jeff's 5* Wiseguy Plays have been known to hit as high as 70.0 percent for a season and have earned him the title as "the best big play handicapper on the planet." He'll tackle T.V. matchups and he'll play teams you've never heard of before, if he sees a clear opportunity to win.
If you are looking for a proven winner with experience who is going to work his tail off day in and day out in order to ensure you the best plays in the industry, then you have come to the right place.

The Constitution would have
The Constitution would have never been ratified without the Bill of Rights; which are the ``Among These" defined in the Declaration of Independence defining ``Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
One of many inalienable rights abuses listed against King George in the Declaration of Independence was:
"He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power."
If having a military power superior to civil power was an abuse of an unalienable right then, it is an abuse of an unaleinable right now. They established the second amendment to prevent that abuse from ever reoccurring.
The People nor the Government have the power to change or abolish inalienable rights. They cannot be given away, taken away, sold or transferred.

My college kid comes home for one week. She has one task assigned to her...
Get the dog to a groomer to get a trim...
And...there we have...
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
Don't let you kids drink your home brew before they do the chores around house!!!
Or maybe they gave a few to the groomer.... That would explain it!
That looks says "Are you happy now?, you SOB"
Priceless photo.
EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
LOL, damn Bier, poor little bugger looks like "WTF?"
Are you sure this wasn't some kind of plot to NOT have to take the dog back to the groomer for a long long time?
Great looking dog tho!
haha, how cute!
If I can find it, i'll post a picture of our Sheltie, Sinjun (RIP ole girl ) when my sister cut all of her hair off. She looked like a little dingo!
Nah, I bet the dog is way more comfortable without all that hair. Just think of it as a summer cut.
we have shaved our shelty a few times, she gets soooo soft and I think she likes it in the summer.
A guy I used to know had a Himalayan cat- one of those long-haired white ones, ya know? I know that's kinda froo-froo, but he's an artist and likes Volkswagen Beetles, so he has that kind of gene, I suppose. But, anyway, his apartment was un-airconditioned so every summer he would give his cat a buzzcut to help keep him cool.
And every summer, after the buzzcut, the cat would run into a closet and wouldn't come out for 2 weeks! If you opened the closet, you'd just hear a Hissssssssss coming from the darkness.... it was spooky.
Bonsai cats get used to being uniquely trimmed.
I had my wire-haired doxie shaved one summer. Didn't make any difference in his attitude, but with a doxie, how would you know?
Watch out for sunburn.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

monogram software
Hi! I recently purchased the Brother PE750 machine. I now need to get a software program. Suggestions?
I personally love Embird. I found the program easy to use. There are tons of yahoo groups. Embirdtime is great. I have no affiliation with them.
I used the Singer software, and found it impossible to deal with. I have also tried some others (demos), but always come back to Embird. They are coming out with an upgrade this week.
Another great embroidery editing software to consider is SewWhat-Pro. It's about half the price of Embird and in my opinion, much more user friendly. Their customer service is great as well. There is a Yahoo group that you can join and whatever problems or questions you have with the software are almost immediately answered. You can go to www.sandscomputer.com to get a 30 day free trial and see how you like it. I'm not at all affiliated with them even though this sounds like a commercial for the product! I just love using their software and happen to be one of their very satisfied customers.

Henry's Drive Pillar Box Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2010
Henry's Drive - Limestone Coast - Australia - Padthaway
Professional Wine Reviews for Henry's Drive Pillar Box Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2010Additional information »
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
For most of us, when we look for red wines in a wine store or supermarket, the name Cabernet Sauvignon stands out as a mark of quality and reliability. The same can be said for the way those who cultivate the grapevines see them, too, as part of the reason Cabernet Sauvignon varietal grapes have had so much success all over the world is due to their hardiness against frost, reliability in regards to yield and quality, and great resistance to rot. As such, Cabernet Sauvignon is a winemaker's dream of a grape, consistently delivering excellence alongside a few pleasant surprises. Despite the fact that the grape on its own in a young wine can often be a bit overpowering, too astringent and challenging for many tastes, it is the perfect grape varietal for blending and aging in oak. Such a truth has been displayed for centuries now in some of the finest wineries on earth, for whom Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the grape which adds the punch to their world-beating blended wines.
The Limestone Coast in Southern Australia has long since been an important wine producing region for the country, with almost one third of all Australian wines being produced there. The region benefits enormously from its coastal position, enjoying a cool maritime climate for much of the year, complete with brisk ocean breezes which help the grapes ripen slowly and fully. Many of the highest quality wines of Australia are made in this special region, most notably the excellent Cabernet Sauvignon wines made from Limestone Coast grapes. However, grapes of both colors grow exceptionally well in the mineral rich soils of Limestone Coast, and wineries have for many decades experimented successfully with a range of grape varietals, making it an interesting and exciting region for wine makers and drinkers alike.
Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

Gift of Anger: Seven Steps to Uncover the Meaning of Anger and Gain Awareness, True Strength, and Peaceby Marcia Cannon
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Anger is a natural response to feelings of hurt, betrayal, and embarrassment, and a reliable outlet when we feel just plain stressed out. Yet many of us see anger as a negative, potentially dangerous emotion that should be suppressed.
But the truth is, anger is a gift—a natural, internal signal that unfailingly identifies an opportunity for healing and growth. The Gift of Anger shows you how to recognize this signal, discover the deeper meaning behind your anger, and change the relationships and situations in your life that frustrate you. In seven simple and effective steps, this book guides you past any level of anger, from mild irritation to rage, and toward a balanced approach to using anger for greater understanding and well-being.
By learning to see anger as a gift, you'll be able to:
"Using anger-resolution techniques learned from other therapists and refined for her own clients, psychotherapist Cannon offers a seven-step blueprint for utilizing the positive potential of anger while dissolving its negative impulse. Cannon's process includes recognizing physical symptoms and mental patterns of anger and using a safe method, such as breathing deeply, to discharge one's initial rush of emotion; describing feelings about the anger-provoking experience by writing a self-discovery letter; and writing an affirmation statement that one's feelings and actions during the anger-provoking experience were correct. The other steps are identifying one's unmet need; deciding how to fill this need and taking manageable steps to do so, congratulating oneself after each step; exploring the other person's frame of reference during the angering incident; and freeing oneself by offering forgiveness to the person who angered one. If you're angry with yourself, Cannon offers a twist on the original with a nine-step gift-of-anger process, but this feels confusing and tacked on. The writing is pedestrian throughout, and although Cannon's process provides many helpful tools for self-knowledge and the harnessing of one's emotional turmoil, her anger-resolution techniques are best suited to accompany professional therapy or anger management sessions. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
The Gift of Anger presents a radical approach to the concept of anger: instead of viewing anger as a problem, therapist and anger expert Marcia Cannon explains how it can be used as a gift and a cue for personal growth. Appropriately used, anger can help readers explore their core beliefs, strengthen their relationships with others, and fulfill their unmet needs.
About the Author
Marcia Cannon, Ph.D., MFT, is a marriage and family therapist who has taught people how to use their anger positively for more than fifteen years. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and conducts talks and workshops on the gift of anger process for organizations and groups nationwide. For a current schedule of talks and workshops, or to have Cannon speak at your event, please e-mail email@example.com or visit www.giftofanger.com.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners are becoming an increasingly useful medical tool. However, they produce very loud noise that may pose a hazard to both participants and scanner operators. Acoustical researchers are devising various approaches to making the machines quieter. A UK team (including Deborah Hall, MRC Institute of Hearing Research, Nottingham, email@example.com) will present an active noise control system that cancels out some of the sound from the machines. The system takes into account known properties of the MRI machine sound and counteracts them. When tested with human listeners, the system reduced noise levels and improved audibility conditions for sounds, without interfering with the MRI's scanner's image quality (4pPP16).
Drawing from knowledge of acoustics and human anatomy, researchers in session 2pMUa will discuss the latest ideas for teaching voice students to improve their singing. California-based master voice instructor Lisa Popeil (firstname.lastname@example.com) will explain how a singer can hear and produce three important frequency bands of harmonics: ring (2500-3500 Hz), which helps singers to project their voices in an unamplified setting; brightness (5-15 kHz), important for conveying certain emotions such as happiness; and nasality (200-2000 Hz), which is becoming used as a popular commercial style for enhancing emotion. Brian Monson of the University of Arizona (email@example.com) will discuss the idea of teaching voice students to reach vocal resonances by training them to achieve a 1:6 ratio in the areas of two anatomical regions: the
