The ancient Romans appreciated the favourable climate of this wild, romantic valley, and were the first to cultivate grapes there. As well as pinot noir, the queen of the red grapes, the region's specialities include the equally prized, early-ripening pinot madeleine. Great effort is required to product top wines on the steep slopes above the Ahr river, but it is more than repaid by the high quality of the wines.

Peralta faces Braves, aims to boost numbers at home
Atlanta embarks on road trip to Milwaukee with Teheran on mound
Oddly enough, his home ballpark is not a place of comfort for Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta. The Braves will certainly try to maintain that status quo this weekend.
The first game of the series is Friday in Milwaukee, where Peralta will take on Braves righty Julio Teheran. The Brewers as a team are 16-20 at home this year (4-7-1 in series play) while Peralta is 2-5 with a 7.34 ERA in eight starts. For his young career, he's 3-5 with a 5.60 ERA in 11 games at Miller Park.
Atlanta is coming off a 4-4 homestand that concluded Thursday night with a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Mets. The Brewers, meanwhile, just finished a nine-game, 11-day road trip with a 4-5 record.
Peralta has not won since June 1, and he has taken a loss in two of his last three outings. He gave up four earned runs on seven hits and two walks in his last outing on Sunday against the Reds.
He fell to 4-8 on the year with a 6.08 ERA -- second-highest among all Major League pitchers with enough innings to qualify.
"I think sometimes he tries to overthrow," said Peralta's catcher, Jonathan Lucroy. "It's a typical thing. You see it a lot in younger pitchers. They try to do too much. Hitters, too. I'm guilty of it as well; I try to do too much, and you press."
Teheran, meanwhile, tossed six scoreless frames against the Giants on Sunday, working his way out of two bases-loaded jams.
"Maturation, that's what it is," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Here's a guy that 12 starts ago, it might've blown up on him, and here's a guy that can compose himself. He's been through those situations, and he did a good job."
Braves: Hit 'em when it counts
• The Braves are 29-5 this year when scoring first in a game. Atlanta is 29-6 when it outhits opponents, while the club is 5-23 when it is outhit and 9-2 when the hits are equal.
• The Braves inked first-round pick Jason Hursh for $1.7 million on Wednesday. The hard throwing right-hander, who played collegiate ball at Oklahoma State, was the 31st overall selection in this month's Draft.
Brewers: Axford on a roll
• Reliever John Axford has not allowed a run in any of his last 18 appearances, spanning 16 1/3 innings.
In that span, opponents are batting .189 (11-for-58).
• Carlos Gomez and Jean Segura entered Thursday as two of just seven players in the Major Leagues with 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases this year.
Worth noting
• Craig Kimbrel is the first pitcher in Braves franchise history to record 20 saves in each of his first three seasons in the Majors. Gene Garber is the only Atlanta pitcher to record four 20-save seasons.
• Peralta faced the Braves once last season, a Sept. 10 start in Milwaukee in which he tossed six innings of one-run ball, scattering seven hits.
• Friday marks the first meeting in 2013 between the two clubs. The Brewers haven't won a season series against the Braves since 2008.

Kask K.10 Dieci Helmet
? Share a...
Perfect helmet!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First off this is a beautiful helmet. I bought the "Italy" color scheme and wouldn't change anything about it. Most importantly this helmet fits great! It's the most expensive helmet I've owned so I can't compare to anything similar but I can't. This is an EXCELLENT buy that I wouldn't have a problem paying full price for.

Walking in on a sexy teen girl naked and spread out in bed touching herself is something that most people would dream of. And for Lori and her girlfriend, that turned into the way that they can finally have some lesbian sex together! These babes took turns eating each other´s pussies and then spread their legs open for some fun lesbian scissoring.
These teen girls are always hanging out together, but this is the first time they´re testing the waters on having lesbian sex with one another. They strip partially out of each other´s schoolgirl outfits to feast on each other´s nipples before they taste their pussies. Their passionate kisses and deep fingering get each other off in a 69.
Lori and her schoolgirl friend had a whole night of studying planned for the big test. But really, you only live once, so why waste that time studying when you can have hot lesbian sex? And they´re not just playfully kissing and touching here; they´re all about making each other cum hard, as they strip naked and scissor until their pussies are dripping.

I've only just assembled this bed, so haven't had it a long time. Nevertheless, my first impression is that this is an excellent bed. Solid, easy to put together (took me about 45 mins). All holes lined up easliy, etc. The faux leather is very good quality - nice and soft to the touch (not the plasticky kind) with very dark brown color (not black, but almost). Love the stitching detail - I was debating buying this or a three-leather-panel one, and I'm glad I got this 5 panel one as the stitching breaks up the head board area very nicely. Few things: 1) The leather is quite thin - no problem, but I do worry that it will tear easily. I have kids who love jumping and messing around on the bed, but have all but banned them from doing this on the new bed precisely becuase of this! 2) Check the boxes when they arrive - two of mine had huge gashes that cut right through to the parts themselves that I missed when I took delivery, but thankfully there was just a scratch on the headboard leather when I upacked this that I can easily live with. 3) The only real negative thing I would say (and the caveat I referred to in the title) is that I didn't feel like there are enough mattress support slats supplied- they are rather thin (about 2 inch width?) and only 4 of them supplied, There are legs supplied to put in the middle of each that support the middle of the mattress (curiously, as normally a central beam from head to foot board would supprt this part - but probably one of the reasons why this bed is not hugely expensive), and this felt ok when I put the mattress on, but was worried about the slats coping over time with the weight and just not being able to do so longer term with my wife and I sleeping on this (we weigh about 310 pounds combined, by the way, so nothing crazy). So I ended up going to the local hardware shop, buying some 1 x 3 board and cutting them to size, then bolting new foot-blocks (also cut to size) in the middle just like the supplied ones did. I am glad I did as the bed feels sturdier now with the heavy mattress on top. Also, we went from a bed frame with boxes to this non-box platform type mattress only bed, and my mattress felt a little softer - the extra slats/legs I made feel like it is more firmer again. This is the reason I knocked 1 star off the rating - feels like the maufacturer skimmed a little on that part. However, overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would defintely recommend, with you making your mind up when you put it together if you need to make the extra slats too (very easy to do so, but a little time consuming).
The bed is good for the most part. Like everyone else said in their reviews the slats were very flimsy. My husband had to go purchase more wood in order for the mattress and box spring to hold it otherwise it would have for certain broken. If you are ordering this in the future make sure when you get the box spring for whichever mattress you should get a low profile box spring which is like 5 inches as opposed to the standard 9 inches. Right now the bed is so high that when we make the bed you can't really see the headbord part due to the pillows on the bed.
I was excited to get this bed, and after reading the reviews I thought it would be a good purchase. I was wrong! The first day my husband and I slept on the bed, the wooden support frame broke. They give you 4 thin wooden slats and 4 pegs to screw into the middle for support. My husband is 200 lbs. and I am 128 lbs., clearly not too heavy where the support should have snapped. We ended up calling overstock and they sent us additional support slats, but it still did not hold our matress and started to buckle with in days. We ended up purchasing a metal frame to fit within the outside frame and just threw out the wooden support slats. I would say you get what you pay for with this one.
We love the bed, it was quick and easy to set up and my husband was able to do it solo. We deceided to add a few additional braces to the king size frame just to make sure it was strong and sturdy.
Nice bed- arrived in 2 weeks and was fairly easy to put together. Other reviewers have mentioned the supplied slats being too flimsy. In my case they seem to have worked fine. One thing to point out is the bed came with no instructions and knowing where the different sized bolts would be going was very confusing. The bolts are all the same diameter, so they will fit in any spot- If you decide to choose this bed, I would make sure Overstock sends instructions.
I was a bit hesitant to order a bed on-line but am very pleased with this bed. It was easy to put together, and looks great. Great buy for the price.
Love it. Only thing to remember is the legs for the headboard are packaged IN the headboard. Took me a second to find them.
The bed arrived quickly and in perfect shape. My husband put it together in 35 minutes. I am really impressed with the faux leather. The look and feel are great. The only thing missing is the smell of leather. In any event, this looks good enough to me, and I'm a perfectionist at most things. I have the box springs and bought the Slumber Solutions Gel Memory Foam 12-inch King-size Mattress from Overstock. It was a perfect fit. I would highly recommend both.
Just like others, I was skeptical about buying a bed online. So my wife and I perused all of the furniture stores in our area (lots of stores in So. Cal.), and for our price range, everything was junk. So we decided to take a look at Overstock again and found this brown faux leather bed. And just like most other people, the great reviews prompted us to take the chance on this bed. What can I say? It is a beautiful bed. It's sturdy, well built, and rivals beds we looked at in brick and mortar stores that were upwards of $1000 and more. Now, the slats are flimsy, but we knew that going into the buy, so I also bought some plywood and layed it down. There is no way those slats will hold a memory foam mattress up. Other than that, I can honestly say that this is the most beautiful bed I've ever owned. If you're looking for a beautiful bed at a fraction of the cost of your hometown stores, this is the one to get.
Great quality bed and it looks alot more expensive then it was!

A real time-machine you maintain. Original box for the plugs and so. Wonderful! Many thanks! Teodor, Hungary 11/05/11

I'd be happier if you plotted these on an X-Y plot, with the x-axis being "number of pixels" and the Y-axis being FPS so we can get a sense of how the pixel fill rate is panning out. Maybe make it log-log rather than lin-lin.

Adidas Barricade 6.0 Women's Shoe Review
There are few tennis shoe models that can boast a legacy like the Barricade. Over the span of its 10-year existence the Barricade has become one of the best hard court shoes available, known for its stability, durability and traction.
In this review the Barricade story continues, and we pick it up in its sixth chapter. With this latest model, the Barricade 6.0, the shoe has the lightest profile in its history, weighing 13.6 ounces (size 8.5). It is also slimmer in design and dressier than its predecessors, with a women's specific design and metallic accents on the claws and heel decoration.
We sent out a team of women to see if this latest addition to the Barricade story is a page-turner worthy of the New York Times Bestseller List.
Comfort - Score: 4.4
This latest incarnation of the Barricade cradles the feet with some familiar cushioning systems, adiPRENE and adiPRENE+, and sports a softer upper than its immediate predecessor, the Barricade V. DeeDee could hardly contain her excitement, offering, "Wow! What a comfortable shoe! Nowhere are my feet being poked, pinched or rubbed. I didn't even have to wear a thick sock. This is a great shoe for narrow and wide feet. Every part of the shoe was padded to provide increased comfort, including the tongue."
Also singing the Barricade 6.0's praises was Eileen, who said, "I found perfect cushioning throughout the shoe. I'll wear this shoe for a long time. The shoe is very comfortable and light on the court, with great durability on the upper and lower part of the shoe. It looks as good as it feels."
Ilene sought out-of-the-box comfort, saying, "The Barricade 6.0 provided just average comfort. I certainly would not say it was uncomfortable, but I have definitely tried more comfortable sneakers. The shoe was roomy, so there was no pinching of toes, and I was able to wear these shoes for hours after playing in them. I have a medium foot width, and I needed to tie the laces tightly with this shoe. It was a bit wide for me and too stiff, but I did not experience any rolling of my ankles. The material was not as soft and flexible as I like out of the box and required some breaking in, but the shoe did have a bit of forefoot cushioning, making it easy to move forward and stay on the balls of my feet."
Kana said, "At first, because the shoe was stiff during break-in, I thought this was going to be another shoe that would just sit in my closet. After a break-in period of about a week, it actually became my go-to shoe because of the comfort. The cushioning was just right, and there weren't any awkward flex points. The material softened up after the first week, but still held its stability for hard training days."
Rachael noticed a change in fit over previous models. She said, "Overall, I found the Barricade 6.0 to be comfortable. However, I have a wide foot and found them to be slightly narrower than other Barricade models. There was some slight rubbing on the sides of my feet, but other than that they fit great and the cushioning was comfortable."
Tiffani compared them to the previous model, saying, "As a big fan of the Barricade V, I appreciated the shorter break-in period for the Barricade 6.0. I wore my shoes around for a couple of days before taking on them on the court. With the Barricade V, it took about a week of just wearing them around before I could play comfortably. The Barricade 6.0's upper is quite pliable, so it was comfortable. I felt stuck in between sizes and could have dropped a half-size down, but I was comfortable wearing my true size for the most part."
Ventilation - Score: 4.5
Perforations in the synthetic leather, a mesh tongue and an updated adiTUFF material with a mesh underlay provide the ventilation for the Barricade 6.0. The shoe struck a good balance for Kana, who said, "I feel most shoes that focus on ventilation sometimes lose stability, especially when it comes to lateral movements. There's either too much mesh or not enough. On the Barricade 6.0, the combination of mesh and perforations in the toe box gave plenty of ventilation, while still providing stability."
The other testers were happy as well, including Rachael. She said, "I found the shoes to be breathable, and I had little to no problems with them heating up while I was on court."
Tiffani said, "Heat wasn't really a factor for me, but as with most tennis shoes, my feet weren't cool. The ventilation is what I expected from a tennis shoe, and I was pleased that my feet didn't overheat."
"The shoe breathes well," Ilene said. "My feet were never too sweaty."
The same was true for DeeDee, who offered, "I loved the breathable mesh lining. It was a good idea to add the mesh on the tongue of the shoe to provide additional ventilation. I could wear this shoe all day, and my feet never felt hot."
Eileen said, "My feet stayed cool during play, and after I was off the court. I never felt like my feet or socks were damp."
Arch Support - Score: 4.6
The medium height arch support managed to please our testers' variety of foot types. Those with average height arches reported no problems. Eileen said, "The fit was right for my medium arch. Even after playing, my legs and feet felt great."
On the court, Rachael was pleased. She said, "My arches felt very supported, with no discomfort, even when playing for long periods of time. The only issue I had was off the court when I wore them on a run, but as a tennis shoe there were no problems."
Ilene offered, "Arch support is perfect for me. I have an average arch, and the shoe was always comfortable while playing. I could run and stop without any discomfort. However, the shoe felt a bit stiff, which made me feel a little less agile, especially moving side to side."
Also pleased was Kana, who has low arches. "It was perfect," said Kana. "It simply added to the overall comfort of the shoe."
Tiffani was the only dissenter, saying, "I'm not sure if it's because I felt I was in between sizes, but the arch was slightly uncomfortable. With my relatively flat feet I will sometimes feel a dull ache in my arches, and I did get that from these shoes. It would dissipate each time, but I felt much more comfortable after I installed my blue Superfeet insoles."
On the other end of the arch height spectrum, DeeDee said, "The arch support was just right for my narrow foot and high arch. The midfoot support cable that was incorporated into the lacing system helped customize midfoot support to my feet."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.5
A hallmark of the Barricade line has been the high level of support and stability it provides to players. This sixth edition was solid for Ilene, who said, "There was no rolling of the ankles or sliding of the feet. I generally prefer a snugger fit, and this shoe was a bit wide for me. However, I was able to stop and go often while playing without experiencing any instability on any part of my foot. My toes didn't hurt or feel pressure, and my ankles felt stable and secure within the shoe when stopping abruptly."
With ankle issues, stability is of the utmost importance to Rachael. She said, "I felt my feet were supported while playing tennis in the Barricade 6.0, and there was minimal movement while running around the court. Because I have weak ankles I pay close attention to a shoe's ankle support. I found that this Barricade model offered great support and protection from rolling my ankle."
Tiffani said, "As I would expect from anything with the name Barricade, the lateral stability was excellent. The fit on the foot felt more streamlined than the Barricade V, which is among my favorites. That feel initially made me more comfortable with my footwork on court. I was bothered by one thing, though. I felt I could never cinch down my heel. Again, I'm not sure if dropping a half size would have made a difference in securing my heel, but I did wish for one extra eyelet to lace up."
Longtime fan of the Barricade series Eileen said, "It was a perfect fit for my foot. The ankle support was great, with no sliding or slipping during play. I felt full ankle support, and the shoe felt solid when I stopped or changed direction."
"The overall foot support was excellent," said Kana. "The heel collar sat a little high for my liking, but if it was any lower it would have caused some heel slippage because of the elevated profile in the heel."
DeeDee, too, was impressed, saying, "I was thankful for the shoelaces that never loosened while playing. This feature helped me to concentrate on my game instead of worrying about rolling my foot because my feet were moving around in my shoe. My favorite part of the shoe was the increased heel support that provided comfort and helped with shock absorption. Because of the increased support in the forefoot and midfoot, the Barricade felt very stable and I never felt like my feet were going to roll over."
Sole Durability - Score: 4.7
The Barricade 6.0 is backed by a six-month durability guarantee, and the series has the reputation of being one of the most durable hard court shoes on the market. "I see no wear at all, and I've worn these for more than 20 hours!" Kana exclaimed.
The adiWEAR 6 outsole worked well for Rachael, who said, "The sole maintained itself well and when it did start wearing down it was more toward the toe, which is not surprising, seeing as I'm a severe toe dragger. I feel this model is another excellent example of the great sole durability Barricades offer!"
Ilene said, "The outsole is very durable and lasting. So far, I have not noticed the outsole wearing out on any area (unlike my Nike Mystify sneakers, which showed extensive wear on the ball of the toe within weeks). I sometimes wear my sneakers for hours after playing, and I have noticed that the sole does not show much wear."
Also pleased was DeeDee. She said, "I normally wear out my shoe on the outside of the heels, but there was no indication of any wear or tear on these."
Tiffani didn't worry about durability, saying, "Though I haven't been playing as much tennis lately because I'm in the second trimester, I was able to put in about 20 hours on the court. I estimate that this shoe is wearing as well as my Barricade Vs, which I didn't wear out before the six-month guarantee. There's not much wear to report at all."
"The sole shows a little wear in the ball of my foot," said Eileen. "I feel like this is normal wear. The sole durability is amazing considering how light they have kept the shoe."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.8
There's plenty of adiTUFF material on the upper and a built-up toe, and our toe-dragging playtesters were pleased. Tiffani said, "Again, my pregnancy has limited me a little bit, and I feel like I'm not playing as aggressively, so I'm dragging my toes less. That being said, I really didn't do any damage to the toe area."
Eileen said, "There's no wear showing at all! The toe still looks brand new."
Aggressive with her toe dragging, Rachael put the shoe to the test. She reported, "One of my favorite things about the Barricade 6.0 is the high toe bumper that has kept me from wearing through the shoes quickly. It allowed me to play confidently, without being concerned for the toe durability."
Traction - Score: 4.5
Our team plays primarily on hard courts and found the modified herringbone tread pattern to work well. Eileen said, "One of the best features of this shoe is the traction it provides. I could really take off after the ball and feel light on my feet."
Ilene sought volume control on the shoe, saying, "The shoe gripped the court very well, making it very easy to stop and start and change directions, even at a very fast speed. I did not experience any sliding on the court, however, the stiffness of the sneaker bothered me, and the shoe made a squeaky sound when I stopped abruptly."
For Kana, performance changed throughout the testing period. She said, "The traction was very good at the beginning. The shoe gripped the court well, making it easy to explode in the other direction. After 20 hours it didn't look like I'd worn the sole down, but the traction had dwindled. I noticed it on side-to-side movements, especially when I tried to stop. When I would run suicides I would slip trying to start and stop, and I was afraid to really take off on the court as the shoes became more slick. It's still decent, just not as good as before."
Rachael said, "The shoes had great traction and I felt they didn't slip out from underneath me when I changed direction quickly. It made lateral movements very easy, and they felt quick on the court."
Paying special attention to traction was Tiffani, who said, "I play exclusively on hard courts, and like previous Barricades the Barricade 6.0 gripped the court well. I didn't experience slipping at any point, which is of utmost importance to me in this stage of life. Being pregnant, I'm not as nimble as before, and falling on the court is my biggest fear while playing tennis. I'm totally confident when I step onto the court in these shoes."
DeeDee said adidas found the right formula. "Because of my age, I tend to play flat-footed, but the claw feature and heel support helped me to propel toward my shots, and the good grip of the outsole allowed me to move laterally and change directions quickly."
Weight - Score: 4.2
On paper, the Barricade has shed some weight. The Barricade 6.0 is more than an ounce lighter than the Barricade V (in a size 8.5). Tiffani noticed the difference, saying, "These aren't the lightest shoes in the stable, but the extra weight isn't something that bothers me. The shoes provide great stability and durability, and that generally means the shoe is going to weigh more. They are lighter than the Barricade V. I'm not sure whether the weight is that much lighter or if the shoe just feels more streamlined than its predecessor, but the Barricade 6.0 did play lighter to me."
DeeDee was pleasantly surprised. She said, "With all of the increases in protection and padding, I expected the Barricade 6 to be heavy. But no way, Jose. The shoe was surprisingly light."
The balance was good for Ilene, who said, "The shoe is a comfortable weight for my foot. I dislike a heavy shoe and would prefer a shoe a bit lighter than this."
Kana found it was a give-and-take situation, saying, "I love light shoes and this was one of the heavier shoes I've tried recently. It makes me feel a little slower on the court, but it makes up for it in other areas."
Rachael agreed, "I found these shoes to be slightly heavier than other pairs I have worn, however, the durability that they offered definitely made it worth it."
Pleased overall, Eileen said, "It was the perfect weight. It felt nice and light, but with lots of support and traction."
Overall - Score: 4.4
The plot line of the Barricade story has not wavered in this sixth chapter, or rather sixth edition of the shoe. The Barricade 6.0 is, according to our testers' feedback, one of the most reliable hard court tennis shoes available. The trademark durability and stability remain, even while shedding some weight. Though some of our testers noted a change in fit, none was disappointed with the overall performance of the shoe. The Barricade 6.0 did require some break-in, but it was worth it in the end. The Barricade 6.0 is among the best choices for competitive players.
DeeDee "The extra forefoot and heel support for stability. Besides being a fantastically comfortable shoe, the Barricade is fashionable and feminine looking. I wore the shoe regularly off the court."
Eileen "I love this shoe. I can play all day, feel like I can chase anything down but still feel support. I put them on and they felt great right away, with no break-in period. They feel like a glove every time I put them on and play. My feet feel great after the match and the rest of the day."
Ilene "The shoe is sturdy and provides stability. It is definitely a very durable shoe. I did get many comments and compliments on the look of the shoe."
Kana "I was surprised how comfortable these became. They're one of the better shoes I've playtested."
Rachael "Overall, I liked the great durability of the Barricade 6.0 in both the sole and the toe. These are very reliable shoes that can handle a lot of court time before wearing down. That, combined with the great ankle support, are my favorite attributes of these shoes."
Tiffani "The break-in time was shorter than the break-in time of the Barricade V, but I still got good stability and durability."
DeeDee "I didn't find anything I disliked."
Eileen "No dislikes. I will wear these shoes until they make a better one."
Ilene "I did not like the long break-in period. It felt a bit heavy (just a bit) and stiff. Also a bit too wide for my foot, so I did not enjoy running side to side in them."
Kana "I would never buy a shoe I have to break-in because I base my decision on the comfort right out of the box. The break-in period for this shoe was way too long."
Rachael "The only problem that I had with these shoes was that they were slightly narrower than other Barricade models. Besides the slight rubbing that this caused, I found the shoes to be great."
Tiffani "The heel was difficult for me to lock in because the opening was so long. I wanted one extra lacing hole."
Compared to other shoes or brands
DeeDee "The previous Barricades were comfortable, but adidas outdid itself with this shoe. Congratulations on celebrating 10 years, adidas!"
Eileen "I wear adidas Barricades as my court shoe already, so the Barricade 6.0 is just a better version of my favorite shoe. The comfort has improved and it feels lighter than the Barricades I've worn in the past. This is by far the best."
Ilene "I found the break-in period to be too long. Even after the shoe felt broken in, it remained a bit stiff. The Lacoste Repel is one of my favorite tennis shoes to date. The shoe is not as flexible."
Kana "This shoe is one of the better shoes I've playtested. It is currently my go-to shoe. In comparison to other ones, some have had too much mesh, which made them less stable for lateral movement, while some lacked in breathability, and some were just too narrow for me. What's sad about this one was wearing it right out of the box was uncomfortable because of the width and hard material. It wasn't until after the long break-in period that I ended up favoring the shoe."
Rachael "I found these shoes to have a little more cushion than some KSwiss models, a similar toe bumper to the Barricade IIs and a slightly narrower fit than other Barricades."
Tiffani "I'll make a comparison to the Barricade V. I prefer the less chunky fit of the Barricade 6.0 and the quicker break-in time. However, I found the Barricade V to have a better fit in the heel."

Psy has issued a formal apology for the anti-American statements he made at a protest concert in 2004.The South Korean rapper whose chart-topping song "Gangnam Style" became a pop culture phenomenon earlier this year, came under fire for performing a song several years ago that features such lyrics as "Kill those f---ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughter-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully."Photos: Everybody's posing nude! Check out Rihanna and other stars who've bared all"As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world," Psy said in a statement to E! News. "The song I was featured in - eight years ago - was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time. While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words."As of now, Psy is still scheduled to appear at the Christmas in Washington concert on Dec. 21, which President Barack Obama and his family plan to attend. The rapper says he hopes that with his apology, he can move forward.From Drew Barrymore to Lindsay Lohan, check out child stars gone bad"I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months - including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them - and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it's important that we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music, I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that thru music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology."What do you think of Psy's comments?

Here's the template we've been using for a while: DETAILS DATE: TIME: THEME: HOST: Information ATTENDEES: MAYBES: REGRETS: - anyone else who misses this one!!
Be sure to read through some of the current threads. You will see how they all evolve. If you would like to see one in New Orleans, start an "interest thread". Also, post in the weekly CyberPub, since there are a lot of lurkers in there. Good Luck!
If you start an interest thread, put me on the interested list. It has been far too long since I have been in New Orleans.

Nothing in Idaho so far. I recommend that you start an "Interest Thread" here in the Community Tab as well as make a few posts talking it up in the CyberPub and perhaps over in the main offering thread (as long as it's not on the first page. Those tend to be deleted since they aren't "on topic"). This is a bit of a process, since not everyone checks all tabs every day. It may take a couple of months. Don't get discouraged. Welcome to the club!

Two-time Olympian Stacey Cook of Mammoth congratulated Mackenzie Bachmeier, Danielle Brownell-Patty, Johanna Gur and Forrest Ferguson this week on winning the 2011 Stacey Cook/Sun Valley Ski Tools Scholarship (SVST). The four young racers will receive $500 worth of ski tools and $500 worth of ski wax to use throughout the entire alpine season.
Now in its fourth year, the scholarship recognizes four J2 (ages 15-16) or J3 (ages 13-14) level athletes who exemplify talent, a good attitude, community involvement and a commitment to alpine skiing
You can't win if you can' score. Just ask the Mammoth Huskies, who were shut out Friday night by the Vasquez Mustangs, 21-0.
The loss dropped Mammoth to 3-5 for the season and 1-3 in the conference.
Next week, the Huskies taken on Desert Christian at Gault-McClure Stadium.
The Mammoth Huskies volleyball team raised its record to 7-3 on the season with a victory in four games over Desert Christian on Friday.
After dropping the first game, 25-20, the Huskies reeled off three straight wins, 25-21, 25-18 and 25-15.
Coach Megan Duffey singled out Jenny Clark for kudos. Clark had 10 digs, one kill and "really played a great defensive game," she said.
In addition:
* Kate Desalvo: 2 aces, 7 digs, 22 kills, 1 block
* Aly Vanko: 1 ace, 10 digs, 2 kills, 28 assists
* Sam Knadler: 11 digs, 6 kills
* Arely Bramona-Fierro: 1 ace, 5 digs, 3 assists
The Mammoth Huskies dropped to 3-4 on the season Friday night when they lost, 29-9, at Mojave.
It was the final road game of the season for Mammoth, which returns home next week to face Vasquez.
Stacey Cook's road to redemption stretches out ahead, four years long.
She knows it is going to be a difficult journey, both physically and psychologically, but if all goes well, the road will end at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia.
The 26-year-old downhill racer, Mammoth's best hope on the U.S. Women's Ski team, said she enters the 2010-2011 ski season as determined as ever, in spite of her horrific crash at last February's Vancouver Games.
Coming off two difficult defeats on the road, the Mammoth Huskies rallied on Friday night and thumped Lucerne Valley, 38-10.
The victory brought the Huskies to 3-3 on on the season and 1-1 in the conference.
With the ski season just over the lip of the horizon, Mammoth's top junior skiers are on the snow, sharpening their edges, training hard and reaching for the stars.
First among the athletes was Bryce Eller, who this month returned from 14 days in Chile, where he joined eight members of the U.S. Development Team for on-snow training in La Parva.
It was, said Mammoth Mountain Ski Team coach Kevin Francis, more than just an enlightening experience. It was grueling, disciplined and technical, all rolled into a single two-week camp.

The Mammoth Husky volleyballers went the distance against Vasquez on Saturday, but fell short in a five-game match at Mammoth High School.
And it wasn't just in games – it was in the closeness of the scores.
The Huskies, coming off a quick, three-game victory over Desert Christian on Friday night, took the first game against Vasquez, 25-17 but dropped the next two, 22-25 and 12-25.
"I think we were surprised at how well Vasquez played," said coach Megan Guffy. "They've certainly improved since the last time we played them, and it caught us off guard."
The Mammoth Huskies return home tonight after what seems much longer than two weeks on the road. And this time, they play against a team whose name does not begin with "B."
That may not seem like a big deal, but after the Huskies lost to the Bishop Broncos, 59-6, two weeks ago, and 50-6 to the Boron Bobcats last week, a name like Lucerne Valley has a nice ring to it.
The Huskies, 2-3 on the year and 0-1 in conference, play the 1-4 Mustangs tonight in a 7 p.m. game at Gault/McClure Stadium, with the junior varsity game set for 4 o'clock.
Rumors that the endangered Lahontan cutthroat trout will not be stocked on the Mono County-owned Conway Ranch are just that, rumors, according to county economic development director Dan Lyster.
Lyster said plans to stock the ranch with 10,000 trout are still in place, even after rumors circulated throughout the fishing community that the ranch had been left off the list of state-approved stocking designations.
The rumors came from a Fish and Wildlife Service permit that mistakenly did not specifically state Conway as a destination for the fish.
Mammoth's Chris Lieto was turned back in his bid to win the grueling the 140.6-mile Ironman Triathlon World Championship on Saturday in Hawaii.
After leading through much of the bicycle ride, Lieto had opened a 4-minute lead before finishing sixth.
Australia's Chris McCormack rallied with a strong marathon run to win the race.
McCormack, known as Macca, was 11 minutes behind leader Torbjorn Sindballe of Denmark at the end of the 112-mile bicycle ride. But the Australian's fast run moved him to the front at the 15-mile mark of the 26.2-mile run.
The Huskies knew it was going to be tough. But who knew that it would be tough to the tune of 50-6 on Friday night?
The Huskies could not handle the Boron Bobcats on either side of the ball, and for the second straight week dropped a seriously lopsided contest.
One week earlier, in Bishop, the Huskies fell to the Broncos, 59-6.
In this one, neither quarterback Tyler Wormhoudt nor Huskies running back Coco Galvan could match the Bobocats' running back Reggie Heard, who dashed for 78 yards, nor quarterback Josh Core, who passed for 88 yards.
The Mammoth Huskies go on the road tonight in their first serious road game of the season.
The opponent, Boron (4-1), is one thing. But the biggest adjustment the Huskies (2-2) might face is the bus.
"You can't put a kid on a bus and expect him to ride for five hours," said Coach Tom Gault after a mid-week practice this week. "It's especially hard for the junior varsity," he said. "They have to ride the bus, jump off and be ready to play (at 4 o'clock)."
So how much is the "bus advantage?"
There was always a certain kind of charm to the old house trailer/rental hut at Mammoth's Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center. Wasn't there?
Um, no, actually, there wasn't.
It was cramped for space, the stairs somehow always seemed whopperjawed in ice and snow, and not even the enduring charm of cross-country ski director Ueli Luthi could mitigate the scene.
This season, the house trailer is history except as a storage space. In its place is the old cabin from Sam's Woods, and a new tent structure that is similar to the one at Little Eagle Lodge at Chair 15/Eagle Express.
The Friday Night Lights were not so kind to the Mammoth Huskies Friday night in Bishop. It was more like Friday Night Lights OUT.
The final was 59-6, Broncos, but it wasn't really that close.
The visiting Huskies (2-2) were inundated by eight Broncos touchdowns and another Bishop field goal. In the second half, the Broncos (4-0) scored 35 points without their superb starting quarterback, Chance Callahan, who was injured late in the second quarter and sat out the second half.

"This place card is just as beautiful and luxurious as the fanciful monogram invitation. The paper is thick, and the monogram and fonts match perfectly. This is a folding card, which would hold up nicely on its own on a table. We are putting the place cards in a slit at the top of a gavel we had made as a place card holder, and it looks great! We are so happy to keep the "fanciful monogram" theme going through our wedding - from our invitations to our place cards. Too bad they don't have a matching menu!"

Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
This post is by Mark Roithmayr, Autism Speaks' President.
Earlier this week I had the honor and privilege of traveling to Washington, D.C., for special ceremonies to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The term "landmark legislation" is greatly overused, but like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this law literally changed life for millions of people. The ADA has helped level the playing field for people with disabilities in this country, providing important civil rights protections and equal opportunities in the workplace and elsewhere.
As I took part in ceremonies at the Capitol Rotunda and, later, the White House, standing among other advocates for various causes, I found myself reflecting on those past two decades.
Twenty years ago, America barely recognized the word autism, nor understood what it meant for individuals to live with autism. Autism was absent from those founding moments two decades ago. Yet during the ceremonies this week, autism was acknowledged over and over again by elected officials, colleagues and advocates alike. From the floor of the House, Representative Patrick Kennedy referenced autism as one of two federal imperatives for increased funding. Later at the White House ceremonies, President Obama's Domestic Policy Director Melody Barnes cited the autism movement as a being the central part of today's disability movement. Next, actor Robert David Hall –himself a double amputee following a devastating car accident – took the opportunity to discuss his twin nephews, both on the autism spectrum, while introducing President Obama, poignantly telling the story of how his brother and sister-in-law have to "climb mountains every day."
Listening to the group of eloquent speakers, all I could think about was how incredibly far the autism advocacy movement has come in just a few short years. Not only was the day remarkable for the recognition of autism and its overwhelming prevalence in our society – our 1 in 110 children – our 1 in 70 boys, but that these numbers have climbed to new heights being diagnosed more often than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. There is no doubt that autism is now at the fore of the public's consciousness as a disorder that is recognized as a national health crisis and a top public health priority
But the ADA ceremonies were about something even larger than our autism movement. It was a day to recognize disability rights as a core civil rights issue and a cause not for partisanship, but for uniting humanity at large. The quotes ran from Thomas Jefferson to Martin Luther King. President Obama honored President George H. Bush who passed the original legislation. Representative John Boener (R, OH) applauded James Langevin (D, RI) – the first quadriplegic to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives – who served as Speaker of the House for the day, the first time that Congress was presided over from a wheelchair.
Reflecting, I truly believe the ADA commemoration was about building on our autism victories, small and large, toward our collective future. The abilities of our community, our children, our teens, our young adults and our adults, are extraordinary and we have the collective will and the moral imperative to create an even better future. The path is clear.
- Our autism community has the ability learn – but we need to ensure accessibility to education through the life span.
- Our autism community has the ability to work – but we need to ensure accessibility to jobs.
- Our autism community has the ability to live independently – but we need to ensure accessibility to housing; and not least,
- Our autism community has the ability to be part of the wonderful social fabric of America – but we need to ensure access to community resources.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "the pursuit of happiness is an inalienable American right" and the autism community deserves no less.
We also encourage you to read Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with Substance blog post by Kareem Dale.
