Cellar Smarts
American consumers from construction workers to bank executives are having a love affair with wine. While many collectors are long-time wine connoisseurs, others have begun collecting wine for reasons you might never have thought of. As one Napa Valley winery executive recently commented, "You designers must realize that collecting wine is about much more than drinking it!
In addition to the pleasure of a fine glass of wine, Americans are fascinated with collections assembling categorized objects is a way they express themselves. Therefore, joy of 'collecting' is one of the primary reasons many consumers search out special wines!"
So, what does that mean for these new collectors who suddenly have no place to store their precious bottles of wine and for kitchen designers accustomed to meeting clients' various storage needs? For the majority of wine lovers, a wine storage appliance may be the best solution. Fortunately, most kitchen designers are already familiar with and currently specify such units. These appliances are well engineered and self contained, and can be an elegant addition to a custom-planned kitchen.
At times, though, a designer is called upon to plan a "wine cellar" adjacent to the kitchen, in an unneeded closet, or in a lower level location in the home. Planning such a space requires a unique knowledge base and skill set. Let me share with you some key design details I gathered this past fall as I prepared for a presentation to wine connoisseurs at "The Food and Wine Event" held at The American Club in Kohler, WI.
Before you think about the wine, focus on the collector. In The Philadelphia House and Garden Magazine, Mike Donaldson, sales director for Baltic Leisure, a Pennsylvania-based builder of wine racking systems (www.balticleisure.com/catalogs/wine), identified three different types of wine connoisseurs:
1. The Look-at-Me Collector: "That's a person who wants a wine space that's part of the overall design of their home. They want a chance to store their wine as they drink it, so the room is a showcase for their collection. For them, their main concern is the appearance of the rack system, so they often place it off the dining room and they want a lot of glass."
2. The Wine-as-an-Investment Collector: "The second kind of wine aficionado is the one who is building a collection of investment-grade wine. For such a collection, a room in a separate part of the house is preferable, and should include a racking plan, a dedicated cooling system and controlled lighting all in a draft-free, windowless room everything that it takes to enhance the value of the wine."
3. The Accidental Collector: "This might be a client who brings home hundreds of bottles of wine during trips to Europe and simply needs a place to store them. Depending on the client's entertaining style, they might like the collection hidden away or want it 'center stage.' "
Such clients offer new opportunities and challenges to kitchen designers. Just as finding out how many people cook in the kitchen is a priority, we need to identify what type of collector the client is before counting bottles or surveying the glass collection.
Learning how and when the wine is to be served is the next piece of information you need to gather. My experience has taught me that, in addition to the type of collector, the second "people" information you should seek out is "What part of an entertaining event does the actual wine serving/drinking play?" For many gourmet cooks, the wine is selected to enhance dinner presentations; therefore, a hard-working wine cellar is the best solution.
However, for other wine collectors, the ambiance of the cellar may be part of the entertaining event. For example, appetizers might be served in the cellar. The host and his/her guests might sample tastings (if a table is provided) in the cellar. Perhaps after-dinner wines (such as an elegant Canadian ice wine) might be offered in the cellar as the evening concludes.
So, if you're planning a wine cellar, a key space allocation question is, "Will the host/hostess be the only one scurrying to the cellar to retrieve the proper wines, or will the collector share the cellar with invited guests?"
Once you've thought through the collector's preference, you can finally focus on the actual wine collection. If you have never designed a wine storage area before, I suggest that you visit the Internet for information gathering: One excellent resource is Vigilant, Inc., a manufacturer of custom cabinets for special collections (http://www.vigilantinc.com)
I also recommend that kitchen designers partner with a wine cellar specialist if a really serious wine connoisseur is including such a special space in their project. These specialists understand how to make the wine room airtight and humid, what type of insulation is right and what's wrong. For example, proper door hinges (refrigerator type) are needed to seal the room. They will also have a better idea of your racking options and sizes.
Following are some key questions to help you build a wine cellar that's appropriate to your client's needs and tastes.
--- What type of wine does the family enjoy?
Because there's no tannin in white wines, they generally reach their peak within three years of the vintage. Dry white wines are generally drunk even younger. Rose wines and light bodied reds are consumed before they reach three years of age. Full bodied reds need extensive aging six years at least, and many wine experts feel they really need 10 years. Therefore, in addition to knowing the number of bottles the family has now, the "turn-over" plan will be used to calculate the number of bottles to be stored as the collection grows.
--- What size bottles are normally stored, how will they be identified and opened, and is there a wish for a display area for prized bottles?
Be aware that German wines are bottled in taller, skinnier bottles than domestic or other international wines. This can be a key point if you're installing hanging racking systems that store the bottles in a sideways position.
For a client who buys cases of wine, plan deeper shelving (26") for wine that will stay in original containers. If wine is purchased in quantity yet removed from the original case and space is limited create bins, not individual cradles.
Create some shelving for big bottles, such as magnums (twice as large as standard bottles, a large wine bottle holding about 1.5 liters) or jeroboams (four times as large, an oversize wine bottle holding about 3.08 liters).
Again, Food & Wine Magazine tells us that collectors buy these larger bottles partly for show and partly because wine ages slower in large bottles. Their suggestion is that oversized bottles always be laid sideways with their labels facing out on 5-1/2" deep shelving. (I have to chuckle I always thought just cheap wine came in big bottles!)
Display prized bottles by creating a tilted shelf on top of a lower cabinet so the labels face forward. This type of storage is also recommended by Food & Wine Magazine for wines the consumer wants to keep accessible for tasting.
Consider hanging plastic tags marked with the winery and vintage on bottlenecks so the consumer doesn't have to remove wine from the shelf to read labels. (The Web site www.iwawine.com International Wine Accessories is a good site for many wine cellar items.)
Also ask the customer what type of wine bottle opener is used. One popular opener must be attached to an extended countertop overhang.
--- What type of wine glass collection does the family have?
A true wine lover will use very large (8 oz. or larger) glasses, which allows them to "open the bouquet" as they swirl the wine around the inside of the bowl, enjoy the aroma as they smell the wine through the large opening in the glass, and "inspect the legs" as they study how the wine slides down the side of the glass.
Traditional red and white wine glasses and champagne flutes are all different sizes. These differences will impact the shelving spacing and any hanging racking you are considering and becomes critical when planning a dishwasher for these glasses. Adjustable racking systems within the dishwasher are very important! By the way, the newest wine glass craze is stemless versions of traditional glassware.
To keep it simple, I agree with Scott Ziskind, owner of a firm that designs and installs residential and commercial wine cellars, when he says, "If you want wine to mature, it requires a few basic conditions: you need cool, you need low vibration, you need darkness, and, if at all possible, you need humidity."
--- Temperature: Although many people think light causes wine to deteriorate, it's the heat that accompanies light that's truly the culprit. That's why many wine specialists recommend low levels of lighting in a cellar, with no direct light fixtures shining on the wine bottles: it's the heat!
The best temperature for wine storage is 55 degrees. Although gradual temperature changes are not nearly as dangerous to sleeping wine than sudden temperature changes, wine should never be exposed to temperatures above 70 degrees.
--- Humidity: Humidity is our second concern. Humidity should be maintained at 60% to 70% within the room. We Americans maintain our homes at "room temperature" which is too warm and too dry for storing wine properly. And air conditioning is not the solution. Room and central air conditioners suck the humidity out of the house and are constantly shifting on and off. Experts agree that if you plan on holding 10 cases of wine for more than one season, a dedicated refrigeration system is important.
Why all of the concern about humidity? The cork needs to remain damp so that it doesn't shrink, exposing the wine tooutside air. Proper humidity within the storage area prevents the exposed portion of the cork from becoming excessively dry. Laying away good wines on their side, slightly tilted, with the wine touching the cork keeps the cork moist on the inside. Currently, there's a great debate in the wine industry about man-made synthetic stoppers replacing natural cork -- stay tuned!
--- Vibration: Wine should be allowed to sleep peacefully. This is especially critical for red wines. One of the major differences between the red and white wine-making process is that fine red wines are fermented with the grape leaves, skins and stems in the vat with the grape liquid. As the wine ages, it throws off sediment. The sediment needs to settle to the bottle side and then to the bottom of the container when it is stood upright.
This is the reason why red wines are often decanted (poured from the original bottle into another container). The clear wine is separated from the sediment before serving. This is also why storage for glass decanters and a decanting table may be requested in a wine cellar used for entertaining as much as for storage.
There is a wide selection of custom-built rack systems available on the market manufactured by specialist firms. The companies will work with you to create a cellar after you fax them dimensions and talk with them about the type of room you're planning ("functional room," "statement room" or somewhere in between).
These companies provide modular rack kits, cooling systems, and have some amenities such as redwood doors and cellar art. They also can give you an idea of the cost something that's good to share with your client before spending a lot of design time.
If you opt to build custom racks on your own, the specialists' recommendations are very specific about the type to be used:
--- Clear, kiln-dried Western Red Cedar that is non-aromatic is considered critical for the storage of collectible-grade wines. Soft woods, such as cedar, are the standard for storage because they absorb moisture and are resistant to rot, unlike hardwoods such as oak. Mahogany modular racking systems are also available (www.vintagecellars.com).
--- Food & Wine Magazine expands the type of woods to include heart redwood again, because it won't warp from humidity, nor deteriorate from moisture. Pine is used in less expensive rack offerings.
During my research, I found three sources willing to talk about approximate costs. Although any discussion about "averages" is dangerous, I believe it may be useful for you to be exposed to these industry experts' comments.
When it comes to creating a wine cellar budget, one manufacturer of custom systems suggested the following breakdown of expenses: 40% to 50% should be invested in the racking, 15% to 25% should be invested in the cooling, and 25% to 45% should be allotted for the balance (door, lighting, room preparation, etc.)
In Philadelphia Home & Garden Magazine, an additional range was suggested by a specialist based on a per bottle cost when he said, "Installed racking systems typically cost $2 to $10 per bottle."
Lastly, another specialist gave this overall budget: "The framing and installation of a 10'x15', 1,500-bottle capacity room, for example, would run approximately $40 per square foot (or $6,000). A cooling unit would run about $1 per BTU (or $4,000). The installed racking system is best figured at about $10 per bottle." This equals a $25,000 budget.
A talented designer Peter R. Salerno, CMKBD, recently designed a wine cellar that incorporates the key points we've discussed.
The space includes a variety of bottle storage systems reflecting a collector's focus on an area to display prized bottles, as well as case storage for wines from favorite vineyards or excellent vintages.
In addition to the tasting table, storage to hold corkscrews, tasting cups, decanters, the cellar book and candles is provided along with shelving for wine glasses.
Wall space for vineyard maps, vintage charts, wine-oriented artwork or shelf space to save favorite empty bottles are all enhancements a wine collector will surely enjoy.
Clearly, planning a wine cellar is not a simple process. During the Kohler Food & Wine Event, I spoke with homeowners who were carefully planning 400- to 600-bottle cellars as "a start." Just observing the seriousness of the various tasting during the weekend demonstrated to me a person who enjoys wine but who's not a serious collector how important this space can be to a focused wine collector. I hope the sources quoted and the ideas presented in this article will help you create a great wine cellar for your client.

And you can try that right now Bastion works great under Chromium 18/Linux 64-bit: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...lmicpokoefkgid
Who needs steam anyway
Google nabs Square Enix and other game developers to do native client Chrome games
Google announced today that its three-year effort to create a muscular browser technology that can run heavy duty apps such as console-like games is now ready for prime time.
Google has provided the platform to allow games to run in the Chrome browser and make use of the computers 3D graphics hardware. That makes it possible to run games with high-end console-like graphics in a web browser.
Square Enix chief executive Yoichi Wada attended the event at the GooglePlex headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., and said his company has been waiting for this day for a long time. The company created a version of its Mini Ninjas game for Chrome as a native client game.
Let us begin this new era together, Wada said. Googles native client will be welcomed worldwide as a truly innovative technology for the information technology industry and game industry as well.
He said that high-end games require high-end hardware, but by making those games available on the web via native client, a wider audience will be able to enjoy them. To date, web browsers have been too weak to run games well.
Googles native client solves this problem, he said. It is an excellent solution for browser gaming.
A dozen other game companies were at the event to show their support for the Chrome native client. They said the benefits of running a game natively in the Chrome browser is high performance, security, and the ability to port to the system easily. The games include Bastion, an award-winning title from Super Giant Gamesthat debuted on Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 game console.
Google said it would be easy to port existing PC and console games to the Chrome native client, partly because developers can use a varity of familiar programming tools. The Unity 3D game engine will now include a check box that a developer can click in order to make a Unity-based game run on the Chrome browser. Thats pretty darn simple. It means developers dont have to waste a lot of time rewriting games and other apps for the web, only to see them crawl in slow motion. Besides games, photo and video apps will also benefit from the native client technology.
For game developers, this is a chance for a much wider audience, as Chrome has been downloaded more than 200 million times. Unity reaches 90 million gamers. Oren Tversky, vice president of business development at Unity, said that the experience is much easier for consumers, who dont have to wait for a long installation. They are less likely to quit a long download and so they are more likely to become paying customers.
Five Unity-based games will be available in the Chrome web store. Google is working on improving portability for future operating systems and architectures. It will add features such as support for gamepads, memory mapped files, and web sockets as well.
These examples show the support for the native client, said Christian Stevanson, Google product manager for native client. Games are a category that push the boundaries of what is possible on a platform.
Ian Ellison Taylor of Google said that the project started three years ago with the question, What if we could run native code inside the browser, but have it be secure and portable?
And you can try that right now Bastion works great under Chromium 18/Linux 64-bit: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...lmicpokoefkgid
This NaCl stuff sounds fishy to me. It doesn't belong in a browser.
TBH, if this is what it takes to bring gaming to Linux, then I'm all for it. And we do have viable solutions for the security/sandboxing problem.

02.04.2013 /
Following a great start to Moto3 in 2012, KTM is powered up and 'READY TO RACE' the second year of the new class of MotoGP when races begin on Sunday, April 7 under lights at the Losail Racing Circuit in Qatar.
The company's official factory team, Red Bull KTM Ajo will be looking to repeat the success it had in the inaugural season when German rider Sandro Cortese won the title on the newly developed KTM Moto3 racing machine in a tightly fought battle with Luis Salom on the KaLEX-KTM and Maverick Viñales.
Lining up on the grid in 2013 there will be no less than 16 KTM-driven bikes: eight of the latest KTM RC250 GP Moto3 machines, the essence of the expertise, experience and passion of KTM's Racing Department and the company's Research and Development and eight KALEX-KTMs from the German chassis specialist KALEX, which are driven by the latest KTM M33 Moto3 engines.
The rider list is no less impressive. With Cortese moving up to Moto2 in 2013, Luis Salom of Spain is now the lead rider in Red Bull KTM Ajo together with Malaysia's Fahmi Khairuddin and Australian Arthur Sissis. Khairuddin wound up his season very strongly in 2012 with his first career podium at home in Malaysia and finishing seventh in the overall standings. Sissis, who moved up from the Red Bull Rookies MotoGP Cup in 2012 has, according to team boss Aki Ajo, matured as a rider and is set to move up the order this season.
Aki Ajo speaking after the final tests in Jerez: "We have all been working very hard over the past two months and many thanks to KTM who have done a great job and have come up with many new parts. The new bike was already good but we have managed to make even more improvements to it. We were able to give our riders some free test time on the track and I think we've got a good basic setup for all our riders."
While Salom is a definite title contender Spanish talent Maverick Viñales is also in the title hunt. In 2013 he is riding a KTM Moto3 bike and competing for Team Calvo of Spain. Viñales was injured in the final round of pre-season official tests at Jerez, Spain, and underwent surgery for a skin graft after losing the tip of one of his fingers. He is cleared as fit for the opening round in Qatar but may be hampered by the injury in the early races. Viñales has Ana Carrasco as his teammate, the only woman on the starting grid, but one who has a proven record in the Spanish National Championships.
Two KTM riders who have been consistently been among the fastest in pre-season tests are Spaniards Alex Rins and Alex Marquez, the younger brother of Marc Marquez, who also started his MotoGP career racing KTMs in the small class. Rins and Marquez are racing for Spanish outfit Estrella Galicia and all indications are that they will play a prominent role in this year's competition.
Not to be overlooked is Germany's Jonas Folger of Mapfre Aspar of Spain on the KALEX-KTM. Folger, who had a very strong second half of the 2012 season after switching teams at the half way mark has been constantly among the fastest in pre-season tests. He is another graduate of the Red Bull Rookies and is joined in the team by Brazilian rider Eric Granado who has also been recording fast times in tests.
Other riders to watch carefully are Niklas Ajo of Finland, riding KTM for Avant Tecno, and Moto3 rookie Livio Loi of Belgium. Both have shown good form in tests and Loi, who finished the 2013 Red Bull Rookies season on a high note has also already picked up a win in the opening round of the 2013 French Moto3 championships.
Other riders on KTM-driven bikes are Jakub Kornfeil of the Czech Republic and Dutch rider Jasper Iwema of RW Racing on the KALEX-KTM and German riders Toni Finsterbusch, Florian Alt (Kiefer Racing, KALEX-KTM) and Philipp Oettl (Paddock TT Motions Events, KALEX-KTM).

All other games would require a Windows computer that's capable of running the game on the same network. The PC would then run the game sandboxed and stream everything to the console in an OnLive style gaming setup without the OnLive style input lag.

There is no such thing as an 'exploitive corporation'. Corporations are non-entities. The people that run, work for, and own corporations can be exploitive, but not the non-entity.
I wonder if he would have looked on with a little love if the hikers had ripped down something he had hung up on his property.
He brings up a lot of thought provoking questions, but there are no answers that fit everyone.
I reside in beautiful Western Colorado and had five Turkey Vultures circle and soar above my head, while hiking, a few years ago. They are ugly as sin up close but impressive from a distance. Regrading the author's sighting/close encounter, the vulture in question chose wisely not to sample its potential prey as the aftertase would have been unpleasant and likely lingered for several days. In response to the original piece, I would like to be the first to apply for the "Walker's/Hiker's Rights Identity Card". I like the idea. I have always been respectful on public land, not to mention any private land, where only footprints were left behind. I would gladly meet some set standard to be allowed access to otherwise inaccessable lands to revel in some remote destination or vista.. No lingering, loitering, thievery, or destruction as hidden agenda, just the opportunity to appreciate hidden treasures for the eye and digital record. Thanks for your thoughts and words Allan.
I have no problem with people walking across my property as long as a few things are observed:
1. They close any gates that they open.
2. They leave any gates open that were open before.
3. They leave things as they were not not change things or damage anything.
4. They take their trash with them when they leave.
5. They don't sue me if they get injured on my property (since I didn't invite them), either by an animal or by falling or whatever.
My personal feeling is that a good fence with plenty of "No Trespassing" signs work well. Some people don't like them, but I feel that in today's society, we have to have them because of people who sue and/or have no respect for other peoples' property and/or feelings.
Earth Home Project:www.freewebs.com/stocktonunderground
I agree that in a perfect world with perfect people anyone should be able to go anywhere, and I used to welcome them.
As someone who more than once has had to go out and round up his cattle, goats, sheep and horses after someone "took a walk" across my property and didn't close livestock gates behind them. Even though when they left the gates open there were polite signs that said "Please close the gate after you", but they still left that gates open. This lead me to put up "No Trespassing" signs all around my property
After one said fiasco I had to pay for damage done by my livestock to other's property because some clueless walker left my gates open. I can't afford to keep doing that both in monetarty terms and neighbourly good will terms
So until the world and its people become perfected, I guess my no trespassing signs will stay up and I don't blame anyone else for doing the same.
This is a topic that Burns my bottom. I've lived on this farm forever, my Great great uncle built this house in 1900. So I'm no transplant. People move up this way from Philly or NJ becouse they like the idea of rural life, but just like people who pick and choose parts and bits of diffrant religons that suit them, so do the wann-be country boys. I live in a place that is great becouse all of the farmers get along and work together. You want to hunt here, fine I have work do to, good luck..I could give a hoot if you or anyone walks across the pasture. Just be a respectful guest. But the other great parts or rural life are in danger when people put up the yellow posted sighns and act like they own the world. Yip Yip yahoo...ya sold your 2 acres in the city and moved out here to buy 12, I have 300, my kin have another 900. then the next step that the flatlander will take is onto our farm. Hey, you can't come here if I can't come over that way. Don't tell me you won't help and then ask me for help in the same breath....If folks want to replicate this lifestyle they need to replicate all of it. Be a Christian 7 days a week if you know what I mean.
mike if someone left the gate open, go find him and ask him not to come back. When our stock got out and walked over the lawn next door, I told the man next door I was thinking it was time to hang it up. I said "the price is always good, we could subdevide and make a million bucks". His home is in the middle of our farm..he is now more polite. It's part of the life, somethimes stuff happens. The earthy life has it's set backs like cow pies at every crossing point. Don't like it? Move. I was told the other day that our way of life here, is a lot like that of the native people. When white fellows came and found this land cheif said...you found it? we were always here white man...what's wrong with you? The earthy movement is great. but just canning, gardening and getting off the grid is not enough. For the person who wants the next step, it's time to get back to the way we used to treat each other. This area never changed, we've always been green, but we used to call it POVERTY! You had to live this way to live.
One can't pick and choose what they want to do if they truly want to get back. If your friend needs help, you help him, but you should be to proud to ask for it...if your fellow man would like to hunt on your farm, or fish your stream...what will that hurt? Nothing, if your saving that spot for your son to hunt on this afternoon, that's diffrant. On opening day of deer season here, I have "My Rock" to hunt from. I'll pass that spot to my son or my Nef some day. If someone wants to sit on my rock on the 3rd day of deer season, I'll let them...but opening day that rock is the only place you can't be...but the other 299.8 acres, you can hunt till your blue.
It's like every single flatlander that moves here to live the country life builds a pond....why? Why did they all need a pond if the guy next door has one? If every single person grew corn, and no one grew peas..what would you have? you'd have 20 bags of corn on the front step every time you came home. What a waste of recorces we have here? Think about what it takes to own one of everything. The farmer up the road takes our bulldozer each year, and brings his brush hog down to mow. Why should we both have one of each? Talk about carbon Footprint. if we are all a little more relaxed about our land, we'd conserve.
Here in Pa, if your land is open, not posted (and you still have the right to reject folks who litter ect) your coverd, they can't take you to court as easy if they step in a ground hog hole or whatever. The idea is to keep people from posting everything. Hunting is a major part of our state revenue we need hunters to have an econemy. And why encorage people to do more basic things and put down the remote controle when you can't find a place to hike, bike or fish?
i have put signs on my land now. to many thieves and people that are irresponsible hunters. id like for it not to be this way but it has shown me that it is and i will react to it .
Well, I see your point if you still have good neighbors and live in a close knit farmer community.
But, In my world down here in the south. We have to chain the gates close so people dont just 'drive right on thru' The only reason my family decided to purchase this farm was the fact that it came up for sale and it's notthing like being able to safe the burial ground of your forefathers. So unless you understand the reason I don't want you walking and destroying the tree grave markers, and that I let the tree die before I even think about cutting it down, and that if you aren't watching the way you go you may find yourself up against a widow maker dead tree limb. just go back to the public road that we all helped pay for and noone will be sued if you fall down and hurt your knee.
Down here there was a case were a friend of the family was sued because a young kid decided to ride his 3 wheeler on his land and got killed and he lost the case. Even though he did not give permission nor did he even know the kid. His land was posted with store bought keep out and no tresspass sign, but since he didn't post the information at the courthouse and in all the local papers he lost and lost the farm which is now making the ex-farm next door into a trailer park for people like that kid that got himself killed. Everybody on a quarter ac. of land and buy things that have they have no where to use. And they think we live in the country so we can let the kids run around without being watch.
All I have to say is no farms no food, and what I grow is what I eat and when you get hungry grow your own.
Most likely something to do with your State's property laws...
I think the author may have been looking at the Lockean philosophy under which the Union was founded, but more likely doing so from a personal perspective rather than the broader altruistic version.
I'm surprised that he didn't feel that the buzzard had every natural right to eat his puppy. This seems inconsistent with his philosophy.
Actually the buzzard did have the natural right to eat the puppy...
Natural law derives property by the act of possession.
Here's a P.S. from the author of the original piece (Allan Stellar). I'm not sure if this will prompt further discussion or bring things to a close. But, as always, we hope you'll express your views and share your thoughts.
Troy GriepentrogAssociate EditorMother Earth News
Last Saturday I was at our little solar homestead by myself. Well, I did have my new puppy with me. By late afternoon, I'd completed a couple of projects that my wife had asked me to do. I'd watered the apricot tree. And also the newly planted olive trees that my spouse had replanted a few days ago (their third move). I could have started laying the new bamboo floor in the cabin, but I didn't have the correct nails. I could have pulled off the old molding in the cabin, but I couldn't find the blue iron (OK, I didn't look too hard). I could have put some new cabinets together, but you should see how complicated those instructions are! So, instead, I did what I do best: nothing. I did manage to take the puppy to the swimming hole. And we took a walk (still no new "no trespassing" signs). Time to celebrate the day's accomplishments (and nonaccomplishments) with dinner: a sandwich and a six-dollar bottle of pinot noir that is quite excellent. After dinner, I sat on our concrete slab that within two months will hold a new post and beam family room (along with a straw-bale addition next to it.) The posts will be digger pine (from our property). I watched the treetops sway in the wind. Content. Above, very far above, there were 12 (yes, I counted them) turkey vultures swirling around, riding the thermals. The shadow came first. Seemed like the shadow of a 747 landing at O'Hare. Then I felt the whoosh of the wind and glanced up to see a huge turkey vulture passing by my head as I sat in my camp chair. I could have reached out and grabbed him! I watched him fly down the property at eye level. This is curious. He flew up above the trees, circled around and strafed me again. Flying a mere five or six feet above my head. How unusual. What the heck is he doing? The new puppy was asleep at my feet. I quickly placed him under our picnic table (that I was sitting quite close to) and tied him to the seat. I'd never heard of a turkey vulture taking live prey — and he surely wasn't gonna' get my new 9-week-old yellow lab. I thought buzzards were only interested in dead things? I sat back in my chair to enjoy the show. And sure enough, the vulture did it again, strafing my head by a few feet. What did he want? Was it that, having not showered for a couple of days, he thought I was dead? Or was it the pinot noir? After a few more passes, I watched the scavenger fly off — only to hear a car behind me. I watched the car turn into our driveway. A newish station wagon. The vehicle was filled with people, and I watched them stop. Then they piled out. First four sixty-something people emerged out of the car. Three men and one woman. And I watched the back hatch go up as two (I assume) husbands pulled their wives, with great effort, out of the seatless back of the station wagon. They were a mere thirty yards away, and I could hear them talk. "Did you bring the binoculars?" An acquiescent gentleman reached into the car and retrieved them. The six unlikely, gray-haired visitors were decked out in hiking clothes. Hiking shorts. Crisp, clean, short-sleeved shirts. They gathered water bottles. Cinched up hip packs. And the women pulled out three of the longest hiking sticks I've ever seen. Gandalfian in nature, they were as tall as the ladies were. The whole ensemble looked as if they were all retired accountants who had been given a $1,000 gift certificate to Patagonia, rather than a gift watch. "We are going to hike to the end of the canyon to enjoy the view." they called to me. "We want to walk!" Did I really hear that? I'd never seen a hiker on my property before. I watched in awe, maybe even a little bit of love, as they ambled off. One husband then got in the car and drove on ahead of the rest. Amazed by the synchronicity of these two events, the curious turkey vulture and the six geriatric hikers ... it hit me. Yes, I know ... one mustn't read too much into two separate events. There is a fine line between Jungian, Scarabian synchronicity and psychosis. And the difference between mysticism and delusional belief systems are in the eye of the beholder. After all, I am a psychiatric RN by trade and have met more reincarnated messiahs and saints than I can number. Dangerous territory to be a mystic. Yet, I'd written this piece for Mother Earth News in the spirit of Ed Abbey. Abbey said he wanted to be reincarnated as a turkey vulture. This curious behavior of the vulture, was that Ed? Was Ed trying to get my attention (or my wine) by strafing me because impending tourists were arriving? Was this Ed's stamp of approval (or disapproval?) on my little essay? Was it his way to get my attention that I was about to reap what I had sown? And the Patagonia-clad hikers? Was this a test to live what I wrote? To share with others the wonders we have around us? Surely part of the responsibility of being a property owner is to share the beauty of such with others (including our relations who are nonhuman). Does anyone really own the Earth? What's the difference between a property owner and an exploitive corporation, if all the former wants to do is take the treasures of the land for themselves. And only themselves? I'll never see a turkey vulture in quite the same way again. Let the walkers pass. Read Abbey. Allan Stellar

But... the cat doesn't exist! Math does! Wait... wasn't that the point? ARGH!
Is that the formula for what's in a cheezburger?
Is it a cat or an equation? Perhaps it is both at the same time? O__O
Oh gooooooodness I'm glad this made it. You have no idea.
There's nothing I love more than a dead cat. At the same time, there's nothing I love more than a live cat
Been waiting for this one!
I demand that we have derby about Reasoning and that someone designs a shirt displaying Occam's razor! Excellent design ramyb, very nerdy.
Yes, this is awesome. I'm glad they let ramyb fix the equation to have h-bar instead of h.
Will there be a shirt in the bag when it arrives at my apartment? Will I be home? Will it still be 2011 when it finally arrives by SmartPost?
I was really hoping for Fun with Fibonacci, but at least now I have a Christmas present for my friend.

good thing the cat can exist in two states simultaneously!
I'll pretend to hug myself for a bit.
When I can understand this shirt I can begin my plans to take over the world...I think.......
imsaborda wrote:good thing the cat can exist in two states simultaneously!
Thanks for explaining my joke to me.
I'm not a math nerd. Is there an actual equation in there, or is it just a bunch of mathy symbols strung together? I'm trying to figure out how Schrodinger applies to this, besides it being math as a cat. Is the equation an equation AND not an equation at the same time?
I would prefer the shirt in binary, but that is just me.
That's gunna be the most confused cat ever!
DaveD1420 wrote:Thanks for explaining my joke to me.

Verschränkung (entanglement) a word Schrödinger coined while developing this thought experiment.

The don't wear this shirt should also include the warning that math nerds may stare at your chest while checking the math.
This design, definitely alive. Also, nice reference to The Office shirt.woot didn't think I'd catch that but think again! :D
Yes!! I was hoping more than anything that this shirt made it!!!
imsaborda wrote:...im sorry i ever had anything to do with it
Don't worry, you didn't.
Mandatory related youtube link. - The shirt reminds me of Nevermore... except it's mathematical rather than poetic... and it's a cat. Glad this shirt made it.
I want it because it's by far the one of nerdiest things I've ever seen, and I don't want it because trying to explain the concept of the quantum anything would take longer than I ever want to talk to someone who would be asking me "Why does the cat have all those weird letters in it?" Shirt.woot uncertainty principle?
Shirts have been weak last few days.
Poor Schrödinger... forever associated with supporting and postulating what was meant to mock the crazies.
Schrödinger's Cat - AWESOME design. A must buy for any Stargate SG-1 fan (remember when Samantha Carter gave her pet cat named Schrödinger to the Tollan Narim as a gift?) This is an awesome LAN party shirt too. Thanks to the artist for design, everyone who voted for it in the Derby, and shirt.woot! for being awesome. I'm in for 1 and you should be too.
I didn't go through everything on the shirt, but it looks like it's legit Schrodinger Equation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodinger_equation
This reminds me of two other shirts....one had a bird...one haze a skull...
I love cats and math/geeky stuff. Today's my birthday and that means I HAVE to buy this for myself. lol

The groups of symbols are not random but the cat is made up of a bunch of random equations related to solving the Schrodinger equation. The Schrodinger equation is the one under the cat.
Draithy wrote:Poor Schrödinger... forever associated with supporting and postulating what was meant to mock the crazies.
Cats, and math nerdery (and making up words) are a sampling of my favorite things. I will marry the first man who comes up to me while I'm wearing this shirt and either laughs while pointing at my chest saying, "I've gotta have that!" (double entendre intended) or rips it off me. :-) Edited to add: I liked (as a literature/Poe fan), but never bought (and won't), "Nevermore". This is different in its own way. It grabbed me and caused my fingers to hit the I want one button before my brain knew what was going on. Go to any gift shop and you'll see ceramic mugs, etc. with designs of this type. Besides, whatever happened to "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"? I applaud the designer. Well done!!!!!
Buying this shirt has made me go to... an excited state :D I just bought three of them! My quickest purchase ever! Congrats Ramyb and thanks for the awesome shirt! I can't wait to wear it.

The Occasional IndulgenceSo cute! I'm missing the sunshine, too. x
www.TheFancyTeacup.comThis lipstick color reminds me of MAC Ruby Woo. This is how it looks on me, anyway. LOVE the red lip. Rock it, girl!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because sometimes I find myself saying the opposite, haha. Too much warmth it's a bit boring. But I'm glad you have enjoyed some sunny days.
ReplyDeleteLove the chunky/sparkly shoes - Nailed it! Happy new year!
www.w-t-fab.comP.S. How in the HECK do you get your lipstick to look like that--so bright and bold? Primer? Photoshop? MAGIC? =)
www.w-t-fab.comHey Keiko,
I am an obsessive reader of your blog and I had a little question (not sure if you will have time to respond...)
I need to get new (prescription) glasses (because I actually can't see, lol) and all of yours are so fabulous, I wanted to ask where I should shop for new frames? I see that BonLook is on here-have you tried Warby Parker? I have not but I have heard good things about them...
Of course I am saying this because it is timely for me, but it would be awesome if you did a post just on some of your fav sizes/shapes and where to shop. ;)
Thanks for being a constant inspiration!
RepliesHey! I have a post with some of my favorites here, but I have since acquired many new ones:) http://www.keikolynn.com/2012/06/makeup-monday-girls-who-wear-glasses.html
I love both Bonlook and Warby Parker. I also love my Ray-Bans, but they're more expensive - and I recently got two pairs from Lookmatic that are awesome. I think they all have around the same prices, and they're all great companies with high quality eyewear. It just depends on what you're looking for! Do you know what shape you're looking for?Yay! Thanks for all the ideas!
I have a very loooong face, so I try to get pairs that are width-accentuating to balance everything out. Another challenge I find is that (since I am fair skinned and have red hair, freckles, the works) I need frames that aren't black, since that tends to look really harsh/dramatic with my coloring.
One of the things I liked about your Bonlook picks is that there are a lot of turtle-color options.
You have definitely given me lots to think about, though. Thanks so much!
YOUR lips are da bomb. (No homo.)
xoxo Britt
www.PardonMyFashion.comWhat beautiful photos you take!! Yeah some of Florida's warmth would be amazing up here in New York!! =)

Synopsis: "Bunheads" tells the fish-out-of-water story of Michelle Simms, a once-promising classically trained professional dancer who was drawn to the lights of Las Vegas, where she became a showgirl. After she impulsively marries her persistent suitor, she moves to his sleepy California coastal town, where he lives with his mother, Fanny, herself a former dancer. Fanny now runs a local dance studio. Michelle ends up bonding with some of Fanny's students after meeting them. Among the students are sweet Boo, who struggles with her body type; rebellious Sasha, who has the talent to be a ballet dancer but doesn't have her heart in it because of family issues; shapely Ginny, who's not comfortable in her own skin; and fun-loving Melanie, ready for whatever life throws at her. The students benefit from Michelle's knowledge, but she also benefits from them as they help her adapt to small-town life.

The vacuum's control panel has a power switch, four-color bag debris level display, two-color service indicator, and a service reset button. The power unit's permanent Teflon HEPA fabric filter provides filtration down to .1 micron diameter. The slide-gate collar dust collection bag mounts inside the debris bucket on the bottom of the power unit and holds up to 5.2 gallons of dust and dirt. Two easy-to-access swing-down latches secure the debris bucket and are used to access the dust bag. When its time for bag replacement, the slide-gate collar on the bag closes to keep the dust and dirt sealed inside.
A foam-filled muffler is included for installation in the exhaust system piping. The muffler substantially reduces operating noise. Routing the vacuum's exhaust through piping to outside the residence assures all remaining dust vents outside of the building. Mounting bracket included.
