anyone know the undercard for cage warriors 53?
anyone know the undercard for cage warriors 53?
the trouble i've seen, nobody knows my sorrow
sorry mate, but for some reason the old song popped into my head, hopefully someone sensible replies
Well there are 8 fights announced...
Guessing just a couple more will come or a couple of Amateurs.
Richie Edgeworth is going to get handled big time by N'Doye.
There will be an amateur card as well, as always. When things are sorted I'll post it - a couple of injury withdrawals have held things up. Should be at least one more pro prelim as well, which will be out when contracts are back.
Obviously we would have had more Scottish-based guys on the card were it not for the fact that Paul McVeigh, Graham Turner and Dan Hope were added to last month's London card after their fights at On Top had been cancelled.

HmGreat Shower-detanglerI use this as a detangler in the shower, and to help dtstribute shampoo and balsam and cures. I used to use various large-toothed combs, but their teeth broke sooner or later. This one has fared much better, and is the best for its purpose that Ive found. Ive got very straight (doesnt perm easily), very thick (1.5 inches if collected at the neck when dry), very heavy (extreme amount of straws per centimeter, even some double straws, not even super glue can hold it in shape for long) and very long hair, so your mileage will definitely vary.posted Dec 17, 2008Link to this post

Region: | Sinnoh |
Family: | Unknown |
Friends: | Mars, Jupiter |
Class: | Commander |
First Appearance: | Diamond & Pearl |
Voice actor: | Marc Thompson (English) |
"You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though it's nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not. But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for your insulting me at the lake."- Saturn Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Saturn (Japanese: サターン Saturn) is one of the two male commanders out of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Charon. The player meets Saturn in Azelf's Cave.Later in the game the player meets Saturn again when he frees Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. After you beat the story mode you can see him when ever you want at their base in Veilstone City. He is now the boss of Team Galactic once Charon is in jail in Stark Mountain. He is on the first floor of the HQ. He talks about Cyrus, his old boss, and how he plans to do things differently than him.
In the anime
All the commanders are named after planets. Except Charon, which is named after a moon of Pluto.

Heterogeneous computing FTW!
Phoronix: OpenCL 1.0 Specification Released!
Khronos Group has today announced the ratification of the OpenCL 1.0 specification! The 1.0 specification of the Open Computing Language is backed by Apple, AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and other industry leaders as a new open standard to exploit graphics processors for general-purpose computational needs. What OpenCL 1.0 defines is a C99 programming language with extensions geared for parallel programming, an API for coordinating data and task-based parallel computation across a wide range of heterogeneous processors, numeric requirements based on the IEEE 754 standard, and efficient interoperability with OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and other graphics APIs. The press release announcing the release of the OpenCL 1.0 specification can be found in the Khronos news area. NVIDIA has already announced today as well that the OpenCL 1.0 specification will be added to their GPU computing toolkit...
Heterogeneous computing FTW!
According to Tim Sweeney, gpgpus will make graphics programming interfaces obsolete. So how does the adoption of openCL affect Linux's capabilities as a gaming platform?
I realize that it's all up to game developers, as to what middleware they pick up, and the linux standards base will probably be a factor too. But would anyone have insights to share about probable and possible outcomes?
Great the competitive companies use one standard. And this standard is open source, yeah, that's great!
Are they talking about Takumi Corporation, developer of e.g. Mars Matrix and Gigawing? I don't know of any other organization called "Takumi", let alone one that might have a compelling interest in OpenCL, but it's sort of strange seeing that name there without Taito, Capcom, Konami, or other such heavyweights of the Japanese arcade industry...Originally Posted by OpenCL press release
Well I don't know what Tim Sweeney said or whatever.
But on all modern video card acceleration it's all software. There isn't any real 'OpenGL hardware engine' or anything like that anymore. Now everything is 'GPUs'. GPUs are, more and more, just general purpose processors with their design very highly optimized for the sort of workloads you see with graphics. Highly parallel and that sort of thing.
So 'drivers' are a mixture of OpenGL or DirectX software rendering stack that is tailored for that specific GPU then the normal commands and controls to control settings in the video card (like mode setting).
Not like I am a expert or anything like that. This is just my understanding.
It's probably not quite like that today.. but this is the trend.
With things like Intel's Larrabee and AMD's Fusion your going to see GPUs be made more generalized and gain standardized interfaces.
Standardized interfaces fro hardware processing is called a 'ISA' (at least one term for it). There are x86 ISA, AMD64 ISA, PowerPC ISA, etc etc. And what this is a sort of standard sets of interfaces the processor must support in order to be compatible with software.
A modern Intel x86 processor, for example, is VERY different from the old CISC designs. The actual part of the CPU that does the processing is in fact a high speed RISC processor, but there is a great deal of hardware logic to turn the x86 CISC-style commands into something that the modern CPU can deal with.
This is how Intel is able to maintain machine code-level compatibility back into DOS days.
So the future seems to be a ISA for GPU hardware. Right now the code interfaces and whatnot is very specific to a particular generation of GPUs and particular manufacturer. Having a GPU ISA then that means code optimized to run on one generation of graphics acceleration will run on the next.
As you know there is dicussions underway about the scalability of proccessors and hardware. People are figuring out that the practical limit for the amount of processing cores on a single chip is going to be around 16 or so. Beyond that and you run into severe packaging issues... there simply isn't enough pins to provide enough memory bandwidth to a processor with 32 cores or whatever.
(sure there are Linux machines right now with 512 processors, but that is spread out over a NUMA architecture, not having 512 cores on a single processor)
So it seems to me the logical way is to have cores optimized for different workloads. So you have some cores for x86 compatibility, but other cores for doing Disk I/O and Network I/O and other cores for GPU-style workloads.
And that, seems to me, were OpenCL comes in.
I realize that it's all up to game developers, as to what middleware they pick up, and the linux standards base will probably be a factor too. But would anyone have insights to share about probable and possible outcomes?
Well hopefully if OpenCL takes off then Linux will have a standardized way to do graphics acceleration and accelerated video playback without resorting to vendor-specific APIs.
So lets say FFmpeg decides they want to have very fast encoding and decoding for media playback by taking advantage of GPUs. Right now there are specific APIs that differ based on if your using a VIA system vs Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel. (well it only really exists for Nvidia on Linux, but requires proprietary driver). With OpenCL they should be able to code it once and not worry to much about card-specifics.
This is what worries me a little about Larrabee. I'm certainly no expert, but what I've read about x86 is that it's not the most efficient architecture out there, yet Intel is pushing for it to become the standard ISA for graphics & stream processing as well as general computing. Even if x86 is easier to code for today, wouldn't it be better in the long run if a better architecture was chosen? If we're essentially starting fresh anyway, why waste valuable die space converting x86 commands to RISC when we can just code in RISC in the first place?
What I'm wondering about: how does this work exactly? Is there some kind of scheduler for these programs? Or will one OpenCL program 'claim' the entire GPU exclusively?
If there were some kind of scheduling, wouldn't the driver have to replicate a very large part of the linux kernel functions?
Well despite the baggage Intel and AMD are able to make their systems outperform PowerPC by a wide margin, price-wise. Most problems I see are with very low-power cpus like those systems which are now dominated by ARM-style CPUs.
So I don't think it's nearly a big of a deal as people try to make it out to be.
What I'm wondering about: how does this work exactly? Is there some kind of scheduler for these programs? Or will one OpenCL program 'claim' the entire GPU exclusively?
If there were some kind of scheduling, wouldn't the driver have to replicate a very large part of the linux kernel functions?
Well this is probably going to be driver specific for the time being, until the GPGPU folks figure out how to create a new architecture and standardized ISA so that Linux can simply treat it as a new type of computer.
A huge part of it, for Linux and open source, will be Gallium.
Gallium is, essentially, a modularized DRI2 driver. A Mesa-derived DRI-style driver currently only support OpenGL and are extremely complex. HOWEVER, only a relatively small part of a driver of that type is actually very hardware-specific. So Gallium's goal is to talk to the in-kernel DRM driver, via the DRI2 interfaces, and separate out the hardware-specific portions of the DRI2 driver into a Winsys (I think) portion and then add support for running many different types of APIs.
So how much of your GPU is consumed by running OpenCL would depend on the Linux kernel scheduling and the memory management facilities. Hence the need for GEM-type advanced memory management in the DRM driver.
The Linux kernel should be able to effectively manage application's time slices on the GPU and try to manage video memory access, trying to balance everything else.
This leads to quite a bit more overhead then just running a pure graphics or pure compute workload, but allows for multitasking and whatnot.
Somewhat perversely I expect that one of the reasons AMD and Intel have taken such a interest in making sure that Linux has open source drivers is to provide a effective clustering and workstation OS for taking advantage of their new GPGPU-style platforms.
Of course it's important to keep in mind that Nvidia and Apple are the ones that are spearheading this OpenCL stuff and Linux far behind. (and Nvidia has significant financial benefits from high-end graphics stuff on Linux).
I am hoping, however, that Linux devs should hopefully be able to take aggressive advantage of this sort of thing as soon as the Gallium stuff starts working out.

The eight students and one teacher shuffled into the center of what was left of the dining room of a red-brick ranch home on a canal in Long Beach's East End last Friday. There they received instructions from an All Hands Volunteers team leader on how to finish ripping out the home's appliances, floors and walls, after it was flooded with three feet of seawater during Hurricane Sandy. Safety was the team leader's overarching message.

2 if you are using a usb drive this must be fat32 .then make a directory called games or game
3 copy your game to your usb drive go into multman then click refresh ,make shore you have any game in your drive , choose your game load it scroll to the game click and play , all so if you click triangle then click game options some games will require bd selected and external drive. you do this under multiman
4 ftp load your multiman ,go back to your pc and install filezila .the ip adress is 192.168.0.7. there is no password to access your ps3 you will then need to copy the game to hd0 game. load up multiman and click refresh any questions please ask lol, i know its not the best guide but its 3.15 in the morning lol here in the uk
hi thx for having me join also.

Dyson recently announced a voluntary recall on their popular AM04 and AM05 heater fans. The recall announcement came after 4 products created "contained" fires, reportedly started by internal burn-outs in the heating element.
For more information or to register your Dyson AM04 or AM05 for the recall, visit the Dyson Recall Site.
An innovator in home appliances, Dyson first introduced their fans in 2009 and released the heater version in 2011. These unique fans and heater fans use air multiplier technology instead of traditional fan blades. Dyson's standard fans (without heat) aren't affected by the recall since they don't include the heating element.
Dyson suggests all owners of AM04 and AM05 models visit their recall site to get the ball rolling and receive directions on how to proceed. They're releasing new information soon, so check back here or visit their recall site for more information. You can also contact Dyson's helpline at 1-866-297-5303.

As usual, thaks for the responses. Any thoughts on whether they use a sourdough starter or cake yeast like Keste?
Off the top of my head, I can only think of two places that do: UPN in SF and Roberta's in Brooklyn.
Are you sure about Roberta's? I thought they were non-SD.
Chau and I asked them when we were all there, and I'm pretty sure they said they did.
Hmm... interesting. Did you taste any sourness? I wasn't really looking for it, but I don't recall the dough tasting sour at all.
I'm pretty sure that neither use SD. I did not taste it in either pizza. It's pretty unheard of to use SD in a commercial setting. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two places that do: UPN in SF and Roberta's in Brooklyn. I'm sure there are others, but not many relative to the number of pizzerias out there.
Dick Bessey talks about their pizza dough in this interview (fast forward to around the 12:20 mark)http://www.heritageradionetwork.org/archives?tag=keeping+yeast+fresh

(This is a fake edit: delete & repost. Please fix that, Michael!)
Cough cough, ahem, yeah right. Sun is a Linux company. Especially now that it's been acquired by Oracle.
I know, which is why I'm asking for a reason. Just trying to understand if there's a logic to this hate.I'm just saying I don't agree with that. I won't be running that application.
@kraftman: Mono's GC is pretty similar to the .Net GC used on XBox as far as performance is concerned. It doesn't suck but it also doesn't allow you to be lazy and expect good performance out of it. The new Mono GC (as well as the GCs found in desktop .Net and Java) perform better, which means developers can be more lazy if they wish. That's a good thing, by the way.
The Java runtime generally offers superior performance to .Net, by merit of more advanced optimizations. On the other hand, the .Net (and by extension Mono) runtime is generally thought to be better designed than Java, plus it allows for easier fallbacks to native code (assembly, C) for performance-sensitive code. Both perform better than most other managed runtimes, such as Python, Ruby, Haskell (duh), anyway. As far as I am aware, only Ocaml offers a runtime that is all-around faster than those two.
Fake edit: scratch that, both Mono and Java seem faster than Ocaml here. The only clean win is Lua, AFAICT.

This course teaches students the processes of close reading, analysis, and interpretation of literature and invites students to make connections between literature and their experiences. Students learn to distinguish between reading for comprehension and reading for pleasure, to recognize key principles of storytelling, and to distinguish types of literary works. Introducing students to texts that are international and multicultural in scope as well as to Western literature, the course focuses on works that treat the themes of initiation and development, especially coming of age.

General FAQs
With the right adapter, you can use your steering wheel controls with a new stereo
Q: If I install a new stereo, can I still use my steering wheel controls?
A: You sure can — if you install a special adapter. See our article about Steering Wheel Audio Control Adapters for more information.
Q: How can I connect my iPod®? And what's the difference between using an aux cable and a USB connector?
A: When you want to play your iPod in the car, the two most common options are running a cable from the iPod's headphone jack to your stereo's aux input, or using your iPod's cable and plugging into a USB input.
Aux connections tend to transmit background noise, plus you have to control the tunes from the iPod itself — not the safest thing when you're driving alone. The USB connection, on the other hand, transmits no background noise, gives you receiver-based control, and also charges your player. In many cases the receiver also processes the sound, something it's designed to do better than your iPod in an amplified system. Check out our article about the benefits of a USB input for more details.
Q: I can't see the display when the sun shines on it. Are there displays that are easier to read in direct sunlight?
A: We've found that displays that let you tilt the face, often found on DVD and navigation receivers, are the best solution. These receivers also give you large touchscreens, let you play movies while you're parked, and give you a slew of other fantastic features. If your receiver can do it, try changing the color of the display or adjusting the brightness and contrast to help cut through the glare. To see these suggestions in action, watch our video about avoiding glare on the display.
Another solution is a receiver with simple, well-thought-out controls. That way, you'll be able to make simple adjustments without even looking at the receiver.
A Bluetooth connection is a bridge between your smartphone and your stereo
Q: Can I use Bluetooth® to stream music and make phone calls?
A: Absolutely! And you can often do even more, like running and controlling Internet apps. Basically, a Bluetooth connection works as a bridge between your phone and your dash. Even if your receiver doesn't offer control over apps, you can stream the audio from your phone and play it in your car. Our video about Bluetooth in the car will give you all the details.
Q: Can my factory speakers handle a high-powered CD receiver?
A: Your factory speakers should be able to handle the output from an aftermarket CD receiver, but there are limits to their performance. Turn up your new radio with the car sitting still, make a note of the volume level at which your factory speakers start to distort, and avoid cranking the radio up past that point.
Speaker performance is critical to listening enjoyment, so we recommend adding quality, aftermarket speakers as soon as you can. A new set of speakers will let you take full advantage of the big, rich sound your new receiver has to offer.
Q: How much power does my factory system have?
A: While we don't have exact power ratings for the systems in specific vehicles, we can tell you that factory systems usually have less power than aftermarket units.
But bear in mind that, for example, the 100-watt factory system described by your car dealer probably consists of 4 channels of 25 watts peak power. This translates to roughly 10 watts RMS (continuous) x 4 — not bad, but a far cry from most current aftermarket receivers.
Even if your factory system seems relatively powerful, there are still benefits to going with an aftermarket receiver. These advantages typically include better specs, built-in Bluetooth® connectivity and iPod® controls, MP3/WMA/AAC file playback, USB input for media players and thumb drives, more extensive tone controls, easier (and less expensive) integration with other equipment, like amplifiers, and the enhanced reliability you can expect from a recognized audio brand name.
Q: How much power do I need to get optimum performance from my car's sound system?
A: Since every car stereo is different, there's no magic "wattage formula." As long as you stay within the recommended power range of your speakers, increasing power will always add richness and depth to your music. Compare a spinet piano to a concert grand. The small piano is good enough to play music clearly, but move up to a grand and you'll gain better tone, greater harmonic detail, and more volume. The larger instrument is simply more powerful.
Here are a couple things to consider, though:
- How efficient are your speakers? Your speakers have a direct influence on the overall "power" of your system. If you're planning on powering your speakers with your in-dash receiver, efficient speakers (sensitivity of 90 dB or higher) will give you more bang for the buck. If you're installing high-performance component speakers, an outboard amp will generate maximum performance.
- Are you adding a subwoofer? Subs need substantial amounts of power to reproduce the lowest tones, so it's essential to use an outboard amplifier with them. You should count on using more power for bass than you use to power all of your full-range speakers. If your receiver puts out 20 watts RMS x 4 channels (80 watts total), send at least 80 watts to your sub. Using a 50 watt x 4 amp to drive your components? Dedicate at least 200 watts for bass.
- How good is your wiring? Your system's chain of components is only as strong as its weakest link, so don't cheat your amps and speakers with substandard power cable and speaker wire.
- Before you buy, think about your vehicle and how you use it. If you drive a quiet sedan with the windows up, you'll need much less power than someone who goes off-roading in a pickup. Speaker location, extraneous road/car noise, noise damping material, and personal taste are factors that may affect how much power you'll need in your ride.
Q: How can I be sure the radio I want will fit into my dash?
A: You can count on Crutchfield to have stereo fit information for just about every car, truck and van on the road today. Our Vehicle Research team has gathered data on thousands of vehicles, and your car or truck is probably one of them.
When you call to place an order, we check our one-of-a-kind installation database to make sure what you want will fit. When you're visiting Crutchfield.com, you even get to check this info yourself (that's why we ask for your vehicle info). And for most car stereo orders (priced $119.99 and above), we include the installation kit, wiring harness, and installation instructions for free. You can see the specifics about this gear, and which stereos and speakers will fit your vehicle by entering your vehicle details into our Vehicle Selector.
This Ford radio looks like a double-DIN, but it's not quite that big (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Q: My car has an oversized factory radio. Why can't I replace it with an oversized aftermarket receiver?
A: "Oversized" receivers come in two different sizes:
- the 3" tall (or DIN-and-a-half) slot found in many GM/Chrysler vehicles.
- the 4" tall (or double-DIN) opening in many other vehicles.
If the dimensions of your car's dash opening differ by even a fraction of an inch from these standard oversized openings, you won't be able to install an oversized aftermarket radio without modifying your dash. Many Fords, for instance, look like they can handle a double-DIN radio with ease, but in reality, the opening is a little too small. In some other vehicles, the bracket system that holds the factory radio in place won't work with an oversized aftermarket receiver. In either case, we recommend installing a standard DIN-sized radio with a mounting kit.
Illustrated installation instructions (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Q: How difficult is it to install a new receiver?
A: Helping you install your own gear is our specialty. Since 1974, Crutchfield has helped hundreds of thousands of first-time installers put a new receiver in their dash, and get the job done right. With most new receivers, you'll receive our exclusive, free step-by-step instructions for your vehicle. We also have the wiring harness and installation kit that lets you plug right into your factory wiring, and mount the stereo in the dash with a professional look. (These items may not be available for older or unusual vehicles; they're often free with most purchases, but when not free, we'll discount them up to 50%.)
Plus, you're able to take advantage of our friendly, comprehensive tech support, seven days a week. It's like having a pro looking over your shoulder while you work! For additional installation information, read our Car Stereo Installation Guide.
Once you've attached the Crutchfield wiring harness to your new receiver, simply plug it in to your car's harness
Q: What's the best way to connect the free Crutchfield wiring harness to my new CD receiver's harness?
A: The most important factor here is getting a tight connection that won't come loose over time. Simply twisting the wires together and taping them with electrical tape won't give you a strong connection.
Soldering used to be the go-to method, but these days most people find crimping the wires to be much easier. Our favorite method is using Posi-Twist® connectors. They're even easier than crimping and provide a strong, secure connection. You'll find more Posi-Products, crimp tools, connectors and more in the car stereo installation tools section of our web site.
CD Receivers
Q: Will a CD receiver play MP3, WMA, or AAC files burned onto a CD-R or CD-RW?
A: Most CD receivers will play at least MP3 and WMA files, but be sure to check the receiver's "Details" tab to find out for sure.
Q: What if I want to listen to my iPod® or other MP3 player with a new CD receiver?
A: Most new CD receivers have built-in iPod controls, tied to a USB input on the front or rear of the receiver. Just plug in your iPod and you're ready to go. These USB inputs also let you play music stored on thumb drives or other USB devices. If your receiver is not iPod-ready, you can add an iPod adapter.
A majority of receivers also offer auxiliary inputs. You can plug almost any audio device into these receivers with a simple patch cord. Remember, with an "aux in" connection, you won't have control of your iPod or other player from the receiver, but it's a simple, easy way to enjoy your music library when you're on the road.
A growing number of CD receivers and digital media receivers are designed with smartphones in mind. If you have a recent iPhone, for example, some receivers work with Siri to give you eyes-free control over your iPhone's functions.
The Siri-friendly Pioneer SPH-DA110 AppRadio 3 receiver works with your iPhone
Cassette Receivers
Q: I still have a lot of old cassettes. Is there any point in buying a new cassette receiver?
A: That depends. New cassette receivers are still available, but they're increasingly hard to find. Look for a cassette receiver that has either an auxiliary input or changer controls. That way, you'll have the ability to add other listening sources — SiriusXM satellite radio, an iPod, or an MP3 player, for example.
If you can't find a new cassette deck that suits your needs, there are still ways to enjoy your cassette-based music on the road. If your home stereo includes a good cassette deck, you can connect the deck to your computer and digitize your music. Once that's done, you can copy the files onto a USB thumb drive. It takes a bit of work, but you'll be able to enjoy your music without worrying about jams, snags, and broken tapes.

Welcome back guest blogger Scott Harvey of Scott Harvey Wines, here revealing his origin story to the world.
When sitting around enjoying a glass of wine with a group of fellow wine people, the conversation invariably comes around to "How did you get bit by the wine bug?" or how did you get into the wine business? Drew Thurman aka WineDrew, a winedavid39 associate, was by the other day and after a few bottles of wine he asked. I told him over another bottle of wine and he goes, "You got to write it down so we can put it on the blog." So here it is.
Although my step-grandfather grew grapes, I did not grow up in the wine business, being the son of a high school teacher. While in high school, I was sent to Germany by AFS (American Field Service) on an eight week summer exchange program. I was placed with a family in the picturesque wine region, Rheinland Pfalz. The first day I was there they set me down and gave me a glass of Riesling. I'm thinking I'm going to like this. Looking out the window all you could see were hill after hill of beautifully manicured vineyards. My first sentence was, "Does this wine come from those grapes?" They said, "Sure it does, do you want to see where it is made?" They took me into the basement and pulled me another glass from the barrel. Ever since then, "I've been bitten by the wine bug!" Check out our YouTube video taken in the vineyard looking up at that window where I was sitting 38 years ago.
Having a real low draft number, I came back from that idyllic AFS experience, basically to go to Vietnam. Luckily, Nixon ended the draft and I didn't have to go. After going to college for a while, I set my sights on becoming a winemaker. What better place to learn than back in Germany. After working the 1974 harvest at Montevina for $1.25 an hour, I saved about $600 and set out. I had a full beard and long sun bleached blond hair down to the center of my back. With limited funds, I needed to get there as cheaply as possible. With a backpack and a five string Vega banjo in hand, a buddy and I started our trip by hopping a freight train down through the Central Valley of California and over the Tehachapi's to San Bernardino. Today, some of the wine I make is at a custom crush winery in Lodi right along those very same train tracks. I always smile as a train goes flying by, still drawn to look and see if there are any open box cars.
From San Bernardino we hopped another train to El Paso, Texas. In El Paso, we were caught by the railroad yard "Bull" detective and thrown out of the yard. So, we had to start hitchhiking our way across the longest driest state in the Union. The beard was lost along the way in San Antonio. Hitchhiking across the country, especially carrying a banjo in the south, you realize that this country is full of wonderful people, always willing to help you out with a warm meal and a roof over your head. Southern hospitality is alive and real. We did get stuck in Mobile, the local Sheriff wanting to take us to jail. I remember humming the Bob Dillon song "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again". The Sheriff didn't think it was funny.
On Christmas day we finally made it to Miami where we met up with friends. My buddy now staying behind, I made my way to Tampa Bay where I paid passage on a German phosphate freighter to Rotterdam. We left on New Year's Eve. Floating out of Tampa harbor at midnight with a Becks beer in hand, I remember looking at the lights of the city, thinking, it's going to be a long time before I see my home again. Knowing German, I got along well with the crew and spent two weeks steaming across the north Atlantic drinking my share of beer. When we came to port in Rotterdam, I had a hard time getting into the country. With little money, long hair, and no one knowing I was coming, they took me to be another young American hippy wanting to participate in the Amsterdam drug scene. As of yet, I had not told my German AFS exchange parents I was even coming.
I did get in, and started hitching my way across Europe. With $150 left in my pocket, I showed up at my AFS parents' doorstep. Totally surprising them, I claimed "I want to become a winemaker." They were so excited to see me and offered to let me stay there. My German father, a 6 ft plus ex SS officer from the war, said "First thing is, you need to cut off that hair." So, off to the barber I went. The barber cropped the ponytail against my head and cut it off, then proceeded with the haircut. I know some lady in Germany is wearing that hair today. I have never grown it out since.
Having been born to American parents in Germany, I have both an American and German birth certificate. With the German birth certificate I had minimal trouble finding an apprenticeship with K. Fitz Ritter in Bad Durkheim and dropping into the second year of a two year winemaking and vineyard management program at Weinbau Schule Neustadt. It was a wonderful experience. To this day my classmates are still great friends and I still call my German mother once a week. This month, the son of one of my classmates is coming to visit us to start an apprenticeship in the Napa Valley.
After completing the Weinbau Schule, I again hitchhiked to Luxemburg and flew to New York City. The city was on strike and there was garbage piled 6 feet high all over the streets - a shock after such an idyllic time in the Rheinland Pfalz. I bought a bus ticket all the way through New Jersey to the first town in Pennsylvania. I met a student on the bus who put me up, at the discomfort of his girlfriend. I got up early, leaving them a bottle of wine and a thank you note and walked out into a beautiful wooded landscape covered by a dusting of fresh snow. Seven days later and seven dollars poorer, I was home in Amador County starting my career as an assistant winemaker back at Montevina Winery.

You and WineDavid ...
Wonderful story! I've recently taken an interest in wine, and winemaking and stories like this are quite inspiring. Thanks!
Hi Scott - I remember some of this story from lunch - such a different time just being on your own and relying on the kindness of strangers. When I was in high school I was in Germany (near Freiburg) for two months and hitchhiked. It was rare that if it was not the very first car would stop to pick me up. How do you think your experience learning winemaking has informed the way you approach wine making today?
Great article, Scott. Germany is such a wonderful place. Time for another extended layover next trip home. BTW, with winter definitely set in a large part of the US, do you have any tips or special gluwein recipes you'd be willing to share? Thanks!
Wow, I'm glad I didn't miss this blog post. Thanks for sharing, what an amazing story!

The school I went to (Weinbau Schule Neustadt) was a Staatsweingut geared towards small family estate wineries. We had to grow the grapes, make the wine and sell it. I learned a lot about the business of wine production and sales. Also, winemaking is janitorial and I learned how to keep the winery clean.

Gluhwein is great on a cold winter day. I thought we had a recipe on our website, but could not find one. I found a good one at http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25534.asp.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like you can make a batch and reheat it as desired. We'll need it more here in Buffalo than you will in St. Helena. Best wishes for the holidays to you and Jana. Here's a live link for that Gluhwein site.
what wine do you reckon's best for making a good gluwein... without wasting your best ones! :D

Hey Scott, great story and thanks again for the cigars! Tried one the other night, really enjoyed it. Remind me to set aside some time next time though, I kinda pulled it out on a whim, but it takes a long time to get through one of those Hope you and Jana have a great holiday season!

So this sleeping bag is fantastic my only beef is that the zipper stops at the calf and your feet are stuck. I often get too hot in the mummy style bags which I love when it's really cold but can be frustrating when you get too hot. sticking my feet out of the bag will often do the trick to cool me off but this zipper stops at the calf so it's very difficult to do that. I wanted a warm bag and this bag definitely fits the bill and is well made and the hood is super nice as well however my feet ROAST and I will likely only use this bag if it's going to be VERY cold out.
This is a very comfortable and warm bag. I am 6'5" and the hood fits over my head as it should. I would give it 5 stars but I think the zipper could be a little more substantial and I worry about its longevity. With that said, the overall quality of this sleeping bag is amazing! I would recommend this product, especially at this price, unless you are looking for an utra-light sleeping bag for backpacking purposes. This one is not very light and does not compact down very well.
The day I got the bag it was 20 degrees that night, so I went out side and got in the bag on a pad with no tent (most bags are rated while in a tent) and I proceeded to build up enough warmth that there were no cold spots. I could have slept comfortably all night. My $200 down bag rated for 15 degrees did not do that. Most bags don't live up to their rating. It is roomy, warm and has all the features of an expensive bag..
I bought this bag for my 14 year old "linebacker" of a son. He loves it. It is big enough to fit his broad shoulders, and it is super warm. We went camping in sub freezing (28 degrees) temperatures, and he slept outside, with no tent (thought he was Bear Grylls), and said he wasn't cold at all. May be a bit heavy to hike in, but let's face it, if you are buying an XL sleeping bag, you ought to be able to handle a little more weight in your pack!
Purchased this for my 6'4" tall son. He loves it! He says it's comfortable and he fits into it easily. A very good value for the price. The silver color is more grey than silver, but it looks good anyway.
Poor quality. Fortunately we are not campers...so one use was all we needed it for...
This product was excellent value for the money, I was able to stay warm as the temperature dipped. The mummy cover keeps my head warm and the zipper allows for easy entrance and exit.
Okay, this thing is pretty warm. We bought the extra large sleeping bags (even though I'm 5'5 and 120 lbs). It's long enough where I don't feel crammed in, and you can even wrap yourself in a blanket underneath and still feel comfortable during those really cold nights. Absolutely love this product. I wish it unzipped fully at the bottom though, but either way I'd recommend this product.
We bought this for a 15 year old male nephew last year. Tonight at the Christmas exchange he was still raving about it and claims to have slept in it every night, even taking it to sleepovers and hotels. His mom said it washes like a dream. What a great feeling to have someone enjoy a gift every day of the year.
This was sent as a gift, but the recipient was thrilled. His dad said t was good quality for a cub scout :)

Anthony Rendon has 10 hits in his last 21 at-bats in the Arizona Fall League.
After a slow start to his Arizona Fall League season, top Nationals prospect Anthony Rendon has gone on a tear at the plate over the last week.
Rendon has 10 hits in his last 21 at-bats for the Salt River Rafters, with three doubles, five RBI and four walks, to raise his AFL season batting average to .317. His seven total doubles are tied for the league lead, while his .411 on-base percentage ranks ninth among all the upper-level prospects participating this fall.
Rendon, the sixth overall pick in the 2011 draft, is one of the least experienced players in the AFL, having appeared in only 43 professional games, only 21 of them above Class A. (He missed most of this season with a fractured ankle.)
The 22-year-old third baseman, who received a major-league contract from the Nationals before the new collective bargainingRead more »

Mark, this post will cause this comments section to explode. People will want this kid to bat leadoff through 8, play all nine positions, sing the national anthem and eliminate the national debt. All by Memorial Day.Myself, I'd like to see the kid stay healthy for, oh, say, 60 straight days.
- peric - Nov 7, 2012 at 5:56 PM
Myself, I'd like to see the kid stay healthy for, oh, say, 60 straight days.Yes, but the problem is that applies exponentially to Ryan Zimmerman. Who is more important? Zimmerman is he's the best hitter in the lineup. So, moving Zimmerman to first base looks very tempting given his recent injury history and number of games missed in addition to those where he really was ineffective at the plate. In the case of Rendon his injury was referred to as "freak". So, if he is completely healed he may be a better choice to man the hot corner to see what he can do. Starting right out of spring training. This would give the Nationals an infield where every player is under team control for the long haul. Every player is still under 30. Every player a bonafide gold glove candidate. Every player capable of hitting 20 home runs and driving in at least 50 or more RBI. Every player with decent speed. Three capable of stealing 20 bases. Every player with a great arm.
- SlowPitch63 - Nov 7, 2012 at 5:59 PM
Thanks for the update. It's easy to get excited. Our major league lineup is so sond we really don't NEED asny additions but it is so nice seeing our depth expanding.Let's Play Two!
- Clip&Store - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:15 PM
Talent-wise i don't think there is a question that he is capable, but he needs to stay healthy and get reps. I try not to get overexcited about prospects (right now, primarily Goodwin and Rendon).Remember all those phillies fans crowning Dominic Brown the next superstar just a few years ago? Yeah…
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:15 PM
I have been following Rendon and he seems to have more tools than what you see on the surface. Good baserunner who can steal a base if you aren't paying attention.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:17 PM
Most impressive is that .350 BA with RISP and the way he has been improving after a slow start.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Today is the start to the GM meetings in Palm Springs Cali. Good time for Rizzo to sit down with the SFX agents on LaRoche.Also have to believe Rizzo and Beane owe each other a beer.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:49 PM
Jason Bay is now a FA parting ways with the Mets.
- Tcostant - Nov 7, 2012 at 6:51 PM
Stop it – everyone.We are playoff team, we don't more our starters to new positions to make room for a rookie. I agree, lets see him stay in the lineup for a while, before we change our whole off-season approach. Let him go to the monors and hit and then maybe come up in mid summer if his production merits that. Than if he hits the cover off the ball in the bigs, then you can talk about how to find a spot for him. Zimm is on record of saying that he will move off 3B, if someone is better there; but he'll need to prove that in the bigs first.
- alexva - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:05 PM
Faraz, from the previous thread re Ichiro. If Laroche signs I think Morse is gone. If Laroche is gone Morse is at first. Either way LF is then open.
- Tcostant - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:17 PM
Faraz you asked about credits back for unplayed games.Today I got my last outstanding credit directly to my credit card for the public sale of the NLCS. Check you activity, I bet yours is there too.
- baseballswami - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:18 PM
Ichiro in left for a year or do? Hmmmmm. How old is he? Hasn 't he being doing some leading off? Ichiro in DC??? Hmmmmm, indeed. Intriguing .
- Tcostant - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:23 PM
Ichiro for a year while we wait for Goodwin to arrive is very interesting. While is game is not the same, he still me more than okay. I kind of like it too.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:38 PM
alexva, no doubt that LF is likely to be filled via FA or trade. For some reason, some NIs and most experts such as Dave Cameron think that Morse should be traded. I would like to keep the lineup as it is, i.e. sign ALR. However, if his defense were to be replaced with someone who is very good defensively such as Ichiro, pitching will be good as it is. What keeps Morse in the lineup and in that OF is his power which will be hard to replace. Ichiro is my top favorite player of all time (no Nats come close), but I don't see him a) coming to DC (no Japanese links whatsoever) and b) as an everyday player given his declining performance. I have gone over his stats multiple times over last two years and read a lot about him. I hope for a resurrection of old Ichiro and would be very glad to see him in Nats uniform, but I just don't think he is Davey's or Rizzo's type of guy.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:39 PM
Rendon is proving to be a quick learner. It will not take him long before he is ready. The Nats will find a place for him when he is. He is probably the most talented guy with the bat that the Nats have, and he is a plus defender. He does not strike out. His OBP will be among the league leaders, if not the best in the league.Rizzo will make sure the kid has had enough reps and enough time to get his timing back. The only real question is where he plays and who he replaces.
- blovy8 - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:46 PM
Ichiro for a year would be pretty damned cool.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 7:52 PM
On Desi, http://bit.ly/Subq9l
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:05 PM
For comparison sake, let us assume that Ichiro simply replaces Morse in our everyday lineup.Here is the comparison between the two hitters, http://bit.ly/UwYsaN.It is no secret that Ichiro can not replace Morse power-wise. OF defense will be thousand times better and Ichiro's capability of playing CF and RF gives flexibility to our OF if you want to rest other two OF. But offense will suffer. Desmond will likely replace Morse and Werth might be more suited back to #6 spot than lead-off.Actually if we do sign Ichiro, I would like to beef up our #5 significantly. Lannen will likely not cut it. I would want James Shields or Felix Hernandez to be our #5.Having said all that, I still fail to see Davey or Rizzo interested in Ichiro. I probably sign him in a second.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:12 PM
by the way Tcostant, I got most of it back. They kept $16 for processing I guess.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:15 PM
One more plus about Ichiro is his baserunning of course, which Davey does not use much. One other plus is he does not K as much as all of Nats hitters, then again he walked less than even Morse.
- Theophilus T. S. - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:17 PM
If we're really into aging 1-to-2/year rental OFs, I'd vote for Torii Hunter over Ichiro. Ichiro's OBP has fallen off alarmingly the last couple of years (fewer leg hits?), and so have his assists: I'm not sure he's considered more than an average outfielder these days.And I don't want the Nats caught up in a Pudge Rodriguez Races to 3,000 Hits situation.My preference is still to leave well enough alone.
- Theophilus T. S. - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:22 PM
Also Ichiro last year played CF for the first time since 2008 — 7 games. That does not him a CF make.
- blovy8 - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:27 PM
The idea of Ichiro is really just a fallback when Bourn, Upton, Pagan, and Victorino start getting crazy offers that are more than Rizzo/Lerners want to pay. He's just another guy in the outfield mix if you have to trade Morse to get the #5 SP you want, or if LaRoche walks and Morse replaces him.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:29 PM
Theo, Ichiro is still very much an OF arm not many runners run on. He is not a threat he used to be, but he is not just an average OF.
- blovy8 - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:31 PM
Hunter's a bad idea if the price is right, but I think last years' numbers give him a chance at more than one year.
- blovy8 - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:32 PM
Meant to say Hunter's not a bad idea, if an OF was open.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:45 PM
hunter's BABIP last season was .389. His career BABIP is .307 so I wouldn't base much on his last seasons's stats. Also his ISO has been declining for past four seasons. his walk/K ratio was worse than Ichiro's (better than Morse).
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 8:49 PM
- JD - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:03 PM
Faraz, You want king Felix for # 5? that's all?
- Don - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Theo, Seattle had Fraklin Gutierez playing CF for much of that time since 2008 that Ichiro was in RF. Gutierez might be the best defensive OF in the game, so it is likely not that the Ms did not have Ichiro in CF becasue he was below average at the position so much as he was not the best guy they had. And they had a doozey of a guy to play CF. Even at the advanced age, Ichiro has elite speed, and I am guessing he'd take beter routes to hte ball than Harper might (as he is a very experienced, multiple Gold Glove winning OF and Harper has played a total of maybe 200 games in any OF postion in the pros), and his arm may not be as strong as Harper's — though it might — he's deadly accurate.
- Faraz Shaikh - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:10 PM
JD, swap Ross with Price also?
- NatsLady - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Keith Law rates BJ higher than Josh Hamilton. FWIW.
- peric - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:19 PM
if someone is better there; but he'll need to prove that in the bigs first.That's NOT HOW it works Tconst. Else why play Harper everyday in CF? Why? He was a 19 YEAR OLD ROOKIE!!!???Rendon is older and is both a better hitter AND fielder than Harper. Harper's big advantage is the level of talent given his age. Of course you start Rendon at third base if he is ready. And you move Zim to first base. That's the National's way. Just ask Davey.
- peric - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:21 PM
And stop with the aging outfielders? The Nats aren't going there. They don't have to. They'll sign BJ Upton at age 29 before Ichiro or Torri Hunter. That's a fact.
- peric - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:22 PM
If Laroche is gone Morse is at first. Either way LF is then open.NO. Zimmerman moves to first base. Moore, Morse and Bernadina are still in left field. Top prospect Rendon gets third.I'll be here to say I told ya so.
- Don - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Rendon is likely a year away, and Zim may end up at 1B at some point soon, but it is not likely 2013. Morse either plays 1B or (I think more likely) he's going to be traded (he's terrible in LF, the running around out there makes his fragility worse, he's not a long term piece for the club and he's in a walk year). I'll also be here to say I told ya so.
- sjm308 - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:45 PM
Peric:even though I am not sure you are correct about it happening so soon, can I at least tell you how happy I am that you are not calling people idiots. Its great to hear the back and forth during this time and lord knows, with Rizzo, anything can happen. What I take out of the talk today is pretty much everything is win/win for our lads.If we go with Rendon (again, I don't think it will be to start the season), we will be adding youth and incredible talent. If we go with Ichiro, we add valuable experience. Can you imagine what Harper could learn from him about hitting, defense, and overall baseball sense?Anyway, gone are the days of moaning about how little talent we have. Go Nats!!
- TheManBearPig - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:46 PM
peric, I'm reluctantly agreeing with you for no reason other than I don't think the Nats would fail to get a deal done with LaRoche unless the Rendon/Zim move was the plan. That said, I still think they get the LaRoche deal done and keep Morse's bat in the lineup and Moore's on the bench in 2013, deferring the Rendon/Zim move until at least 2014.
- sjm308 - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:48 PM
Don: one point about a player in a "walk" year is that more times than not, they play way above what they have done the previous year. If that is the case and we are the beneficiaries of Morse having a career year, it certainly would not hurt. He will never be a good outfielder but if he hits say 40 HR next season (and that honestly is possible if he is healthy) then we would certainly gain from that.Again, its win/win for our boys!!
- sjm308 - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:50 PM
manbearpigcow etc:what you have described is just what I think/hope happens. Sign LaRoche, Morse plays well in LF, Zimm has a full year of health and Rendon and Moore continue to learn and grow. In 2014 I honestly think what Peric has been preaching for longer than anyone comes to fruition.
- TheManBearPig - Nov 7, 2012 at 9:53 PM
sjm, I'm with you regarding Morse and 2013. As I've said here before, he'll be 31 next season and will be running out of chances to earn a big payday, so a year like 2011 isn't too much to expect.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:08 PM
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/11/diamondbacks-will-listen-to-offers-for-trevor-bauer.htmlVery int-e-resting. Justin Upton trade talks ongoing. SteveM, when you mentioned this last week, did you know something? NatsJack, there's the Bauer connection!
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:11 PM
Here's the Justin Upton link:http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/11/dbacks-in-active-discussions-about-justin-upton.html
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:30 PM
Ghost Of Steve M. said… I think if LaRoche leaves that Rizzo could trade for Justin Upton. Upton would be an upgrade on corner outfield defense and provide a good middle of the lineup power and OBP. November 02, 2012 11:49 AM _____________________________________This is all crazy! SteveM, what do you know?
- Theophilus T. S. - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:49 PM
For sure, D-Backs don't want Morse in trade for Upton. They need players all around the infield except 1B. I'm not sure Upton is worth having, period, given how intent AZ seems to be on getting rid of him. He certainly isn't worth Desmond, and not worth Espinosa, either, unless the Nats were convinced Rendon was ready for that spot — and they're not, because he hasn't played an inning there yet as a pro.Neither do they especially want starting pitchers — the reason Bauer seems to be available is because he is surplus, and probably not yet ready for the majors.If the Nats were interested in Upton — and I really hope they aren't — I don't think they have/would give up what AZ is looking at. Texas is where he'll end up; they will need an OF and could give up Andrus to get him.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:53 PM
Teammate Mike Adams on Josh Hamilton: "He's a different guy sometimes. Every day you hope that Josh comes to the ballpark, shows up and plays like Josh Hamilton.""Sometimes he shows up and you don't know which Josh is going to show up at the ballpark. It's nothing to be negative about toward Josh; that's just the way it is. That's what you get with Josh."
- Don - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:55 PM
I love Morse's big upside, but I hate his big risk. He is a giant and fragile guy who can hit like mad but cannot field well at all — he's not good at 1B either. (And if ALR walks, the club could get Pena — who Rizzo has always wanted for some reason — on a 1 year deal to play 1B, or go for an Ishikawa kind of guy and bat either of them 7th, move Morse to another club and get a more top of the order type player into the mix for LF/CF. Zim, Harper, Werth and Desi should provide a lot of power.) Anyway, going into his age 31 year he's had 1 full MLB season. If Rizzo can get real SP value for him from an AL club (Texas maybe?) that sees him getting a bunch of ABs at DH, then I hope that Rizzo makes the deal.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:59 PM
Theo, Justin Upton soured with the team last season and the year before that he was the toast of the town.Mike Rizzo knows him well and if Mike goes for it, its because he is comfortable with Upton's clubhouse demeanor and the way he carries himself on the field.Yes, you can read through blogs how AZ fans thought JUpton was dogging it and not playing all out. They turned on him quickly. In 2011 he could do nothing wrong. Reminds me a little in that respect of Nyjer Morgan.

At 24 yo, Justin Upton is a game changer who played at less 100% physicaly last year.If Arizona is shopping him, Rizzo is definitely interested.

Gonat……absolutely. But it is a long shot. Rizzo will get a feel for the assets he'd have to give up. So will several others

Gonat, surely you know I have no inside info . DBacks want Clip, Espi, Rendon and Ramos.Can you just say NO! I wouldn't do that.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 11:34 PM
I can't believe how quickly this Justin Upton thing has come together.The Nats were 1 strike away from the NLCS and the DBacks weren't close.I wouldn't trade away key pieces of the future.
- Gonat - Nov 7, 2012 at 11:36 PM
Basically it looks like Arizona wants controllable pieces to fill in and they want a lot of players.

By the way, Davey, Bryce and Gio were all named Top 3 finalists in their award categories in Mgr of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Cy Young.

Here's a small issue with J. Upton, he has a limited no trade clause.He will be traded, just not sure if Rizzo goes all in.

Ghost….that package doesn't scare me off.I'd have to seriously consider it.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Nov 7, 2012 at 11:59 PM
NatsJack, that's a starting point. I would give them Espi and Clip and 2 Minor Leaguers not named Rendon, Goodwin, or Purke.Give them Flores. When you consider they can play Espi at SS or 2nd, he is better than what AZ has. They are weak up the middle. Build the deal around Espi.

Turn on MLB Network, they will lead into Justin Upton rumor.

I agree Ghost…..Rendon was the only name that made me wince in the group you named.

Pretty sure if Roethlisberger ran a Dog Fighting League it'd make the news.... It's not because he's black or white or whatever it's because he's an athleteI own 4 American Bullies. Bred through Pits. I can forgive the man. Why can't you? Is it bc he's black?
If it was a white man, it'd never hit the news.
You only hear of Dog Fighting leagues in your local news IF that unless you're famous
