Lotto's latest: Retiree P132M richer
He will be paying an P80 debt to his best friend a million times over.
A 72-year-old retiree from Cainta, Rizal, came forward on Tuesday and claimed the P132,004,796.40 jackpot of the Grand Lotto 6/55 draw last April 20.
The sole winner told Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office General Manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II that he would be sharing his winnings with his family of six children—and with his best friend.
He explained the reason, in Filipino: "Every Saturday, my friends and I go jogging. But that day, I forgot my wallet, so I borrowed P80 from my friend to be able to place that lotto bet."
He said he began betting in the national lottery in 1995, but started concentrating on the Grand Lotto game because of the bigger prizes. He added that even if he only got five of six digits, he would still get a P150,000 consolation prize. But in last Saturday's draw, he hit six numbers: 07-27-48-53-11-31.
He said he was planning to also use his winnings to renovate his house and build a row of apartment units.

Staff Reporter
PUDUKOTTAI: The district administration will initiate action for the provision of additional amenities to the fishermen of coastal villages in and around Manamelkudi, the Collector D. Uthirakkumaran said.
Presiding over the special mass contact day programme at Vichoor near Manamelkudi on Tuesday, the Collector said that steps would be taken for the supply of additional assistances of a bi-cycle, First-aid kit and a lantern to all the fishermen without omission.
Replying to a complaint that there was delay in issuing the family cards to fresh applicants, the Collector directed the Revenue officials to ensure its expeditious distribution to the eligible applicants without delay and also to monitor the distribution of kerosene to the family card-holders. When a few villagers said that they were yet to get the Old Age Pension (OAP), Mr. Uthirakkumaran assured them that their applications would be processed shortly and the assistance be sanctioned.
Priority areas
He advised the officials to give priority for processing the OAP applications and sanction the same within a fortnight's time.
Mr. Uthirakkumaran distributed assistance to the tune of about Rs.6.77 lakh to the villagers on the occasion.
He gave away house-site pattas to 160 persons and marriage assistance to the tune of Rs.95,000 to 21 beneficiaries under the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Labourers Social Security Scheme.
MLA Udhayam Sanmugam, president of District Panchayat C. Muthusamy, were among those who spoke.

Quick Tomato & Lentil Dahl
This is a low-fat, aromatic treat. It's a boon for busy days as it can be made well in advance - and it is great if you want to eat well but are trying to lose weight. Serve with brown rice or quinoa, add lots of shredded dark green veg - and serve with a dollop of plain vegan yoghurt for a healthy but feel-good meal. It also freezes well.

Quinoa & Smoked Tofu Salad with Fresh Herbs
A simple and lovely recipe - quinoa and smoked tofu are a good taste combo, as well as being very nutritious. All the vegetable chopping and other preparation can be done while the quinoa is cooking. Taifun Smoked Tofu is available from health food shops and Waitrose. Quinoa is quick to cook - or can be bought ready-cooked in sachets, eg Merchant Gourmet brand.
Black Bean, Courgette & Olive Chilli Wraps
A quick, easy chilli with the addition of olives - not traditionally a South American ingredient, but it works very well indeed. The dish is adapted from Appetite for Reduction, Isa Chandra Moskowitz's inspiring and healthy cookbook - which also features a really useful nutrition section as well as nice recipes. If you haven't tried black beans before, give them a go - they are also known as turtle beans, but don't mistake them for the black-eyed variety!
Beetroot and Carrot Salad with Toasted Sesame Seeds
This is good - the earthy tones of the beetroot go well with the sweetness of carrots and dried fruit and it's a riot of colour too as well as nutritious. Try replacing the raisins with apricots for a change - either unsulphured (dark brown and sweeter) or the orange variety!
Did you know that sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium? Tahini - sesame seed butter - is used in hummus but is also great on toast or in sauces.
Quick Cream of Watercress Soup
African Sweet Potato Stew with Red Beans and Peanut Sauce
A simple, hearty stew that is full of rich flavour - and with three possible cooking methods! Like all stews, it is even nicer the next day.
Good with brown or white rice; quinoa; bulghur; warm flatbread
Tofu Frittata with Curly Kale
This delicious and easy frittata uses protein and calcium-packed tofu instead of the traditional eggs. Not only does it taste good but it is cholesterol-free and low-fat, as well as being a cool way to eat your greens! We made it with kale but it works equally well with spinach or Swiss chard.
This would work with lots of side dishes, but we particularly liked it served with baked or microwaved sweet potato wedges and a dip made from soya yoghurt mixed with a couple of teaspoons of wholegrain mustard.
Cucumber Salad
A tasty and quick way to dress cucumber.
Want to see the different ways of chopping a cucumber? click through the pictures to see.
Moroccan Style Carrot Dip
Eazy Cheesey Sauce (tofu based)
This deliciously vegan, creamy cheezy sauce is a quick whizz of a dish! Get the ingredients and your kit ready and just go.
It's very nice served with any dish that needs a cheese sauce. However, we particularly enjoy it with big macaroni or shell pasta, topped with thinly-sliced tomatoes, a sprinkling of paprika and black pepper then shoved under a hot grill for 10 minutes.

12 million Zim Dollars
or 6 US Dollars - or 3 Pounds Sterling
But first a re-cap
A while back, just after New Year we crossed to the Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls. The falls themselves were just as great from this side as the other, but the spray was stronger so the view wasn't as clear. The town of Victoria Falls was a sad sight really. We had prepared ourselves for the situation in Zim and expected to see empty shelves in shops, but what we weren't ready for was the way the whole town was falling apart. While we were there we saw a helicopter doing tours over the falls make an emergency landing with smoke pouring out of the tail, a car break down on the way to a sunset cruise (and by the way it rained constantly for 3 days) and the winch break on a boat while someone was parasailing over crocodile infested waters, leading to the whole trip being cancelled. The problem is that there is a massive brain drain from Zim to neighbouring countries like South Africa and there simply aren't enough mechanics to fix everything!
The situation explained
To put it simply Zimbabwe has no money. We're not just saying the
We're going to need a bigger pocket
Dave works out how to fit the evening's spending money in his wallet
people are poor, there is actually no physical cash available. This means several things.
1. The supermarkets are empty of all but the most basic food so while you may be able to buy bread, tomatoes and onions there is virtually no chance of getting your hands on any eggs, fresh fruit or dairy products. If you do come across cheese or meat it is so overpriced that no one can afford to buy it. The other things in the shop are items that are considered too much of a luxury to spend money on like tins of tuna, chocolate bars and cereal. This situation has occurred partly due to the fact most of the farms are not functioning as they used to any more but mostly because of the huge shortage of any foreign currency in the country to buy and import goods. Because the Zim Dollar is worthless outside the country businesses need US Dollars, SA Rand, British Pounds or Botswana Pula or just about any other currency they can get their hands on just to keep trading.
2. Inflation has gone through the roof. While we were there a new 750,000 dollar bill had
Supermarket Sweep?
This is one of the better stocked shops in the 2nd largest city in Zimbabwe
just been released and now a 10 million dollar note is on its way. Imagine trying to pay for things in shops in multiples of 750,000 - it messes with your brain! To give you an idea of prices a can of coke costs 3 million, a traditional meal of mealie meal, spinach and meat stew about 4 million and bus tickets anywhere from 10 million upwards. The official government exchange rate is 1USD for 30,000Zim Dollars which is just ridiculous when you consider the black market rate for us was 1USD for 2.3million Zim Dollars and rising every week.
3. There is a thriving, though totally illegal black market. We had no trouble changing money every day with people on the street and even shop keepers. They told us their businesses were going down hill so fast that they had to risk selling Zim money in exchange for dollars so that they can save up in case they have to up and leave overnight. Penalties if they get caught are high which is ironic as it is claimed it is government officials that are helping all the available currency on to the black market for their own profit,
Queueing for the cash machine
A daily chore for most Zimbabweans
rather than channeling it through the correct lines so that regular people can get it out of the bank.
4. While supermarkets allow customers to pay via their bank cards people are stuck when it comes to buying material and produce from the markets, buying a bus ticket or paying rent because they simply don't have the cash. This leads to long queues outside banks every single day. Why daily? There is a limit to the amount of money people can take out of their own bank accounts every day and even then machines run out long before the end of the day. We passed people in the line at 4am hoping to be close enough to the front to actually get their daily quota. When we took a photo of the queues we almost got arrested by police officers who materialised out of nowhere and accused us of trying to humiliate Zimbabwe by showing the rest of the world what was happening. We're still not sure if they were genuine police or supporters of Mugabe, but either way it was a bit hairy for a few minutes!
The situation has led to everyday regular people having to resort
The mood in Zimbabwe
Art reflects life in Zim
to almost begging from foreigners and you can see it is highly embarrassing for them. They have also had to develop new ways of getting their hands on cash and while we were there we were approached by several people who could see we had cash (it's hard to hide because of the huge bundles necessary to buy even a packet of rice.) They wanted to pay for our shopping on their bank cards in exchange for our money - a kind of three way cash-back system. We were more than happy to help.
5. There is a huge daily cross border migration of people in search of jobs but also just to buy necessities like cooking oil, soap, coffee and sugar. Our bus from Francistown in Botswana to Bulawayo in Zim was loaded to the rafters with more bags of shopping than you have ever seen in your life . The bus next to us going to Harare had a huge tarpaulin on the roof covering a stack of goods about 2 metres high along the entire length of the bus. The bus companies are making a fortune charging for luggage as well as passengers but people
If you think the underground is packed
Licensed to carry 70. Stuffed with around 100 and all their luggage - dead and alive!
are prepared to pay because it is the only way. Much of the shopping is for personal use, but there are also the black market stalls in towns selling hugely expensive goods that have been brought over the border. The number of people crossing each day also means HUGE queues at immigration. We queued for an hour to exit Botswana and another hour to enter Zim. Then we had to queue at customs as everyone's bags were checked. We're not entirely sure what happened but the 'innocent' looking woman and baby with a smartly dressed young son were pulled out of the line and marched off to an office after the customs official spotted what we think were several new pairs of shoes that had not been declared. We thought it would hold up our bus while fines etc were paid. Oh no, the bus just left without them and two of the people who'd been standing filled their seats!
Still smiling
Despite all these challenges the people of Zimbabwe were amazing. Shop staff were friendly and smiling even when it took them 5 minutes to count out the vast amount of notes needed for each transaction. Locals

were helpful and genuinely interested in what we were doing and where we were going and we felt safer than we had felt in many other countries in Africa.
We're not saying this won't change if the situation continues to go down hill, but there seems to be an unwritten rule that because everyone is so poor that it is almost unforgiveable to think of stealing from anyone else because they are in the same situation.
So in Bulawayo we walked around until after dark with no problem at all. We were sad to see many of the cafes and restaurants have closed and just empty shells remain. The Mazda showroom was a vast expanse of windows and floor space with a lonely receptionist sitting behind a desk. No cars to sell and no customers interested in buying anyway. That's the other problem - there is no fuel. Not officially anyway. Petrol stations that do have stock only sell for foreign currency while we saw dozens of pick-ups driving down side streets loaded with barrels of fuel, decanting it direct to people's cars or in to smaller containers like coke bottles. Of course they are charging a fortune

for this black market fuel, so again it is the small man on the street that suffers.
We spent a few days there soaking up the atmosphere and trying to spend money in ways that wouldn't make it to government hands before heading off to Masvingo. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and quickly realised that the situation here was even worse than in Bulawayo. There was no running water because the chemicals used by cleaning plants had been held up at the border in South Africa and there was no Coca-Cola!! This is an indication of just how bad things have become. Even Coke, with its global marketing that means even tiny villages with no electricity proudly display coca-cola signs in their shop windows, can not manage to keep producing and supplying Coke because of the lack of sugar and fuel!
What did not seem to be in short supply though was beer! All the local men were totally hammered and lying around in the afternoon sun! We managed to find somewhere to stay and headed out to look for Tracey's grandfather's grave. Her mother was born there when it was still called Fort Victoria and her
The famous tower
No one knows why this solid stone tower was built!
grandfather was buried there in 1960. We caused mild amusement when the heavens suddenly opened and we used the run off from a roof to wash our hands and face. It was the only way. We'd already tried the posh hotel as a means of cleaning up after our sticky bus trip to no avail. They had already resorted to scooping water out of the swimming pool just to flush their loos and use for cleaning.
We found the grave and David set about stomping on the head high grasses that had grown up across the whole cemetery. At that point a lovely chap called Bafu passed by and offered to come back the following day with his machete to help us out. He actually did come back the next day and did an amazing job clearing everything up for us. He did it without asking what we were going to pay him and without any kind of pressure to even be paid. His attitude sums up most of the people we met while we were in Zimbabwe and we really hope that the situation changes for the better while they are still managing to live some kind of semblance of normal life. The worrying thing was that everyone we met acknowledged how awful things were but when we suggested things could change with the next election we got comments like "No, Mugabe has his tricks" as they made punching gestures with their hands.
The effect all these problems are having on tourism was obvious when we went to 'Great Zimbabwe' the largest and most important ruins in Africa after the Pyramids. It is a huge, fascinating complex built into the hills and rocks just outside Masvingo and gives the country its name. We were the only people to have visited all day. In the previous week just 15 people had passed through the gates and it is one of the only places we have encountered where prices have gone down compared to those listed in guide books.
After that we headed for Mutare and the border with Mozambique. We left feeling really happy to have helped individuals along the way who all seemed genuinely happy to have visitors in their towns, but sad for a people who are clearly struggling to get by with a smile on their faces that is getting harder to keep every week.

Pope Francis urges protection of creation, weak
In a gesture to Christians in the East, the pope prayed with Eastern rite Catholic patriarchs and archbishops before the tomb of St. Peter at the start of the Mass and the Gospel was chanted in Greek rather than the traditional Latin.
But it is Francis' history of living with the poor and working for them while archbishop of Buenos Aires that seems to have resonated with ordinary Catholics who say they are hopeful that Francis can inspire a new generation of faithful who have fallen away from the church.
"I think he'll revive the sentiments of Catholics who received the sacraments but don't go to Mass anymore, and awaken the sentiments of people who don't believe anymore in the church, for good reason," said Judith Teloni, an Argentine tourist guide who lives in Rome and attended the Mass with a friend.
"As an Argentine, he was our cardinal. It's a great joy for us," said Edoardo Fernandez Mendia, from the Argentine Pampas who was in the crowd. Recalling another great moment in Argentine history, when soccer great Diego Maradona scored an improbable goal in the 1986 World Cup, he said: "And for the second time, the Hand of God came to Argentina."
Francis has made headlines with his simple style since the moment he appeared to the world on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, eschewing the ermine-lined red velvet cape his predecessor wore in favor of the simple papal white cassock, then paying his own bill at the hotel where he stayed prior to the conclave that elected him pope.
He has also surprised - and perhaps frustrated - his security detail by his impromptu forays into the crowds.
For nearly a half-hour before the Mass began, Francis toured the square in an open-air jeep, waving, shouting "Ciao!" to well-wishers and occasionally kissing babies handed up to him as if he had been doing this for years. At one point, as he neared a group of people in wheelchairs, he signaled for the jeep to stop, hopped off, and went to bless a man held up to the barricade by an aide.
A wax cast of the ring Francis received was first presented to Pope Paul VI, who presided over the second half of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that revolutionized the church. Paul never wore it but the cast was subsequently made into the ring that Francis chose among several other more ornate ones.
Francis will receive each of the government delegations in St. Peter's Basilica after the Mass, and then hold an audience with the visiting Christian delegations on Wednesday. He has a break from activity on Thursday; a gracious nod perhaps to the fact that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is being installed that day in London.
As a result, Welby won't be representing the Anglican Communion at Tuesday's installation Mass for Francis, sending instead a lower-level delegation. All told, six sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, three princes and 11 heads of government are attending, the Vatican said.
For Jews, Orthodox and other religious leaders, the new pope's choice of Francis as his name is also important for its reference to the Italian town of Assisi, where Pope John Paul II began conferences encouraging interfaith dialogue and closer bonds among Christians.

Boston aftermath
The immigration, Homeland Security and the State Department obviously don't have a clue regarding the citizenship status of these two brothers. Some say they were let in as political refugees, some say they had expired visas, and I read [in] an article, "There was no suggestion that they entered illegally." The older brother recently returned to the U.S. from Russia, a six-month stay. Who is financing these guys?
Our above departments of immigration and State appear to be terribly inept/derelict or careless in their positions. The 9/11 extremists all were here on visas or expired visas. Did we not learn anything from that huge disaster? — Bill Cropp, El Cajon
As a taxpayer, I would like to know the following:
Who paid for the Boston terrorists' food and lodging since the parents had gone back to Russia?
Who paid for the expensive schools they attended?
Is this another case of taxpayers holding the bag again? — Prudence M. Brandenburg, Clairemont
Several of your writers attempted to equate drone warfare and inadvertent civilian casualties to the Boston bombing.
The atomic bombs [in World War II] were horrific and killed thousands of civilians including women and children. On the other hand [they] prevented continuation of a war that would have brought about the loss of at least a half-million American men.
When fighting a war there are the trade-offs leaders have decide on. Drones are one of them. We are in a war. It is going to go on for years. We should stop the blather about drones and focus on taking every step that will help protect this country. In that way, those inclined to fatuous remarks concerning warfare (something most have never come close to) can continue writing letters to the editor. — Frank Hannegan, Coronado
It seems the media is losing sight of the big picture with their never ending search for "why."
Trying to explain these actions because of some Chechen connection or ethnicity is naive and illogical. The answer is very simple. All these type actions, worldwide, are based on a perverted ideology. It is basically anti-Western hatred utilizing jihadist Islam as its conduit and justification. Period. — Julianna Faulkner, Mission Beach
We hope as a country that people who immigrate here bring the best of their cultures with them, but that is not always the case.
America has lost its identity. Since the 1960s America has been soul-searching. Between the greed and the self-righteous groups that control the agenda of this great country, we have lost our way. Who knows — maybe a friend of these brothers in 20 years will become president and bring us all together! — Daniel H. Newport, San Diego
I wonder how many of the people in Boston, Watertown and surrounding areas, cowering in their homes hidden with their wives and children held close for 24 long hours all the while knowing they would be powerless to defend them, wished they had just one gun. Maybe some of them wished they would have thought to borrow one from that annoying Republican that lives next door, before it became too late, too unsafe to even go outside and walk across the driveway to ask him/her for help. Maybe some of them will finally realize how foolish it is to barter away the human right to defend one's family in exchange for "promised" safety and say "Never forget Newton, but also, never forget Watertown" the night of April 18. I think, probably, many of them might now truly understand this simple truism — "When seconds count, the Police are only minutes away" — Robert H. Rattazzi, Harbison Canyon

So this is my first stab at writing a Plex plugin. I've been procrastinating over when to release it but I think it's stable enough at the moment. There are a few known issues which I'll be working on iron-ing out, and i'm sure there will be some unknown ones too. If anyone does find bugs, please post them here and i'll try to resolve them ASAP. Here are some details of what the plugin will (and wont) do:
LoveFilm Plugin
This plugin will allow you to completely managed you're LoveFilm lists. This includes the following:
- Searching through their online content
- Adding/Removing items from your rental list
- Changing the priority of titles within your list
- Watch trailers (when available)
- and some other stuff too
I've attached a few snapshots...
However, this plugin does not provide access to the LoveFilm Player. Personally, I would have loved to do this but since the plugin uses the API provided by LoveFilm, I have to keep within the Terms & Conditions of it's use. In order to implement LoveFilm Player support, I would require the user to enter their username and password into the plugin. This is strictly against their T&Cs. However, I may continue to look into this and how one might go about writing a completely separate plugin in order to provide this functionality, no promises though!
Known Issues
Here is my current list of known issues:
- Multi-disk Titles - I'm not currently handling titles which appear on your rental list as multiple disks, e.g. TV shows. I'm still trying to work out how best to display/group these together, etc.
- Unhelpful message when cannot find trailer - Trailer support is a bit experimental.
[Updated 21/02/11]
- Translated to German, including German url's. I'm hoping that this works, but is currently untested.
- Fixed minor issues, including not being able to rate a previously unrelated title
[Updated 26/02/11]
- Reviews now available
- Resolved issue with titles which are not yet available for rental

Theology – truly a naked emperor
By TERRY SANDERSON - GUARDIAN.CO.UK
Updated: Wed, 26 May 2010 12:03:11 UTC
In the words of Robert A Heinlein, 'Theology ... is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there'
The question: What is theology?
In my work as president of the National Secular Society I sometimes receive manuscripts from people who have come up with what they imagine is the definitive refutation of Christian claims. "Publish this," they say, "and Christianity will end within a year!" (See here for an example.)
I find these turgid tomes no more convincing than the ones that they seek to refute. They are anti-theology, and given that theology is drivel, efforts to unpick it are hopeless.
What is theology? I think one of the best definitions was given by the sci-fi writer Robert A Heinlein when he said: "Theology ... is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything."
And, indeed they can. They can twist the language, invert the meaning of words, tie themselves into logical knots and then get admired for it. We are told theologians are there to make sense of The Big Questions.
But I have a problem with The Big Questions – you know the sort of thing: Why are we here? What comes after death? What, indeed, is the meaning of life? My problem is that these questions don't have an answer – no matter how long you think about them and however much you try to bring God into the equation, you'll get nowhere. Or, as Gertrude Stein so eloquently put it: "The answer is: there is no answer."
Take Rowan Williams, for example, who is lauded far and wide for the vastness of his theological knowledge. He is said to have a brain the size of Jupiter because he can produce convoluted writing that nobody with their feet in reality can comprehend. ...Continue reading

Profane Men brings the dark, creative, visionary energy of Slob, Chaingang and other works by Rex Miller to a story set in Vietnam during the late 1960's. There have been many tales written about that troubled and troubling era and Miller's popular fiction work is clearly informed by personal experience relating to the war. In fact, this novel is filled with apparently autobiographical touches (the central narrator character has a developing career in broadcast radio, among other things.) A rootless young man, drifting through life, faces the likelihood of being drafted, decides to choose his own destiny, seeking a way to avoid becoming cannon fodder. Unfortunately for him, he finds himself thrust into some of the worst corners of Viet Nam, working with a team of assassins tracking a pirate radio broadcaster who seems to be supplying intelligence to the Viet Cong. And then things get complicated?

Rate Dr. Siavash Arani
Dr. Siavash Arani's Ratings
I came to Dr. Arani's office as a walk in. I had been concerned about a rash that I was having. I thought it could be an STD . Dr was amazing, very kind, very knowledgable and extremely honest. I had read all the reviews before coming in and was a bit weary that I would be sold, but at this point I need to see an expert so I was willing to pay. That was not the case at all ! The staff and Dr. Arani were very knowledgeable about the fees. They were upfront and not aggressive at all. It was actually a pleasant experience, as oppose to several other doctors who made me feel uncomfortable and awkward. I would recommend you make him your first stop/choice, the man knows what he is doing.

Dr Arani is absolutely great I cant think of a better experience Ive had at a doctors office. The staff is great and they always greet you with a smile. They actually care about you in this office unlike other walk ins. Dr. Arani pays great attention to detail to help you get the best care you need. Would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, professional.

I chose them for my HPV issue after searching and asking. I was treated with another doctor who claimed that he knew how to removed them with his experience and I got a lot of white scar like burn mark and got more new warts pop up here and there afterward. I went to drarani and I got treatment for my condition last week. I found him competent of what he does and I'm pleased with the outcome. I am especially happy that I don't have to deal with this problem anymore. All in one visit and it was painless. I should have gone to him long time ago to shorten my suffering and better look.

Ricky Boy, Mario Richy and John Smith
It's the college classroom and the two students here, tattooed Ricky and very handsome Mario are being taught something indecipherable on the blackboard by stub****, but still twinky John. Teachers pet Ricky gets a question right, but Mario has other things on his mind, or more to the point, in his hand! Having a sly jerkoff in class over his fit teacher, Mario is soon caught in the act and the game is up. However, why waste such an impressive hard-on? The teacher decides to teach them a life-lesson instead; how to suck dick! Down on his knees in a flash, John starts with Ricky's hot cock, as Mario gets Ricky to feed of his own; it's a melee of big stuff dicks, heaven! As the beautiful Mario gets the proper punishment of two dicks bouncing in his face at once, his tight young body, pale, smooth and with a damn hot six-pack is soon put to better use as he slides his thick dick into John, the sight of John opening himself up to getting spit roasted is so hot you'll be hard pushed not to

Sold Out $13.99
2013 vintage is available for $10.99
Don Rodolfo Vina Cornejo Costas Tannat 2012
Other Red Wine from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
An intense red color with dark purples hues. On the nose, aromas of rich red berries and black currant, with hints of chocolate. It is a bold, expressive and exotic wine with soft tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "From vines planted in 2000, this is a fresh style of tannat, aged for a year in stainless steel. The flavors come at you out of darkness, but it's not black; just super tannic. And mouthwatering. There's some minerality that emerges in the finish, along with a red note, like persimmon. Decant it for a thick-cut pork chop."
Don Rodolfo Winery
Cafayate Valley is home to but a handful of wineries, producing only about 4% — but some of the very best — of Argentina's wines. Don Rodolfo is one such winery.
The Valley's isolation and high altitude make it ideally suited for winemakers dedicated to the limited production of premium wines. Cafayate Valley enjoys wider temperature ranges than any other part of Argentina, with warm summer days offset by cool nights plunging by as much as 45°F. This extraordinary variance is key to Don Rodolfo wines, preserving acidity, enhancing richness of aroma/flavor, and increasing superior varietal expression. View all Don Rodolfo Wines
About Argentina(ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

For construction suppliers, contractors, and everyone else concerned with a project, you need to "follow the money!"
As a supplier, you have relatively few leverage points in protecting against a default in payment. This summary of mechanic's liens in California hits the high points, and should give you an insight into one of your best mechanisms for recovering what is owed to you. You can follow the money in other ways, including filing a lawsuit or demand for arbitration under your basic contract with the subcontractor, general contractor or owner that ordered the materials or equipment in the first place. Likewise, an experienced lawyer can advise you of various precautions to take, such as a letter of credit, to avoid or lessen the credit risk. However, few remedies surpass the humble, but still effective mechanic's lien. It has an out-dated name, but it can be your best friend, in a pinch.

Guys let's not get carried away here. So GSP has beaten a couple of 155 pounders, (Penn and Serra) and been knocked out and hospitalized respectfully, as well as out wrestle and avoid fighting as much as humanly possible against the trues 170 pounders that he's faced recently, but this time around he'll actually be in there against a guy that he can't bully or intimidate. We've seen how worried about actually getting hit GSP is, what's he going to do against an assassin like the spider? At the first sign of a strike, if he doesn't faint, he's surely to be put into dream land. All this talk of taking Anderson down and holding him there or even hurting him is good for some laughs, but let's try and keep this discussion on the serious side. Other than his own groin, when's the last time GSP hurt anyone in the sport of MMA? GSP is a very good sport wrestler and has decent kicks to boot, but in a fight, The Spider takes what manhood is left of the French Canadian. While GSPs out there out pointing people and staying as far from danger as possible, Anderson is out there wrecking elite, world level guys. GSP would be fortunate to survive one round, forget about him winning one or in any way hurting Anderson. This discussion is just way too silly at this point. Let's come back to reality people, would ya?
The young scarlet knight with yet another good (riding time) point.
I can see why you made him one of your proteges. Maybe he can work with Barnabous a little, under Detlef's watchful eye. I would keep him away from Big Win, though, for obvious reasons.

AUCKLAND - Warriors centre Konrad Hurrell is undergoing further concussion testing to determine whether he will be fit to face competition leaders Manly at Mount Smart on Sunday.
The bruising ball carrier did not return from a head knock as the Warriors fell to the Broncos in Brisbane last weekend and was absent from training yesterday, pending tests during the afternoon.
"We kept him out of training based on the recommendation of our doctors," said coach Andrew McFadden.
Manu Vatuvei and Ben Henry, who are both dealing with ongoing knee problems, were also absent along with Dane Nielsen and Sebastine Ikahihifo.
Meanwhile, McFadden has made just one change to his starting lineup with Ngani Laumape returning from suspension.

From last year's winter sports to this year's, participation in both basketball and indoor soccer has grown. This is especially true for basketball.
"I've only been here a year," said Paxton Tallent, Sports Director at the Shuford YMCA. "I started at the midpoint of basketball season last year. We maybe had 50 kids. We are up 60 kids. We are up a couple in indoor soccer as well."
The calm usually comes before the storm, but this week, it has been after.
With the recent weather delays and time between high school games, matches and meets, many athletes have found themselves benched for the moment.
That shouldn't be for long though. By next week, players may see a slew of competition to make up for time lost during this entire week.
Some coaches already had a plan for their athletes during the breaks given due to winter weather.
N-C girl's basketball coach Jonathan Tharpe said he feels these breaks as a beneficial opportunity for his team.

Bynum leads Lakers past Heat 108-105
LOS ANGELES When Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol both have below-par shooting nights in the same game, the Los Angeles Lakers are usually in trouble.
Not so Sunday night.
Andrew Bynum scored a season-high 24 points including a go-ahead follow shot with 18.5 seconds remaining, Vladimir Radmanovic added a season-high 18 points, and the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 108-105 to become the first Western Conference team to reach 30 victories.
Bryant had 19 points and seven assists, but shot just 5-of-14. Gasol had 14 points and 18 rebounds to match his career high, but shot 4-of-15.
"You have to hand it to Miami's defense," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "They wanted to shut down those two players, and they did."
Outside of Bryant and Gasol, the Lakers shot 28-of-54 and scored 75 points.
"That's good. That's a good sign, a good thing," Gasol said. "We might be struggling offensively or shooting from the field, but we still get it done and we still come up with ways to win ballgames."
Bryant's performance on offense was probably affected by his work at the defensive end, where he guarded Miami star Dwyane Wade.
"We got other guys involved," Bryant said. "It's part of my responsibility to this team to try to do what it takes on every given night, any given night, to ensure victory for our ballclub and that includes chasing (Wade) around."
The two bumped heads late in the game, and Bryant needed four stitches to close a cut over his right eye. Wade also had a gash on his head.
"He just drove the ball, I was able to cut him off a little bit, our heads bumped," Bryant said.
Wade said he enjoyed going up against Bryant.
"You play for the matchups," Wade said. "And it was in the concept of team ball. We both played hard. He was denying me all over the court. To me, it was fun. I had to figure out a way to get open. It was a good game, a competitive game and fun to be a part of. Games against guys like Kobe, you love to play those games."
After Bynum tipped in Bryant's miss to give the Lakers a 104-102 lead, Chris Quinn missed a baseline jumper after Bryant and Wade collided and the ball found its way to Quinn. Radmanovic got the rebound and was fouled with 6.6 seconds left. An 83.3 percent shooter from the foul line, he made both shots to give the Lakers a four-point lead.
Daequan Cook made a 3-pointer to cut the Lakers' lead to 106-105, but Bryant made two foul shots with 4.2 seconds remaining to complete the scoring. Cook missed a desperation 3-pointer as time expired.
Derek Fisher had 13 points and a season-high 11 assists and Sasha Vujacic added 10 points for the Lakers (30-6), who won for the ninth time in 10 games.
Orlando and Boston each got its 30th win earlier Sunday, but the Magic have eight losses and the Celtics nine.

With a big fight against David Haye stalled by a breakdown in negotiations and mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin deemed by his handlers to be in need of further seasoning, Wladimir Klitschko shrugs his massive shoulders and gets on with the job of defending his heavyweight title.
Next up for Klitschko is Dereck Chisora, the British champion, who is young, undefeated and seemingly brimming with confidence. The two meet in Mannheim, Germany, on Saturday (live on ESPN3.com).
Klitschko is a big favorite in the betting, but there have been less-well-equipped challengers than Chisora, a former amateur champion in the U.K. who has won 14 fights in a row. Indeed, Klitschko's trainer, Emanuel Steward, isn't expecting an easy night for the champion.
"We have a little bit more anxiety than we normally have because Chisora presents a different challenge than we're used to," Steward told ESPN.com from Mannheim. "He's got a lot of youthful energy and aggression that we haven't experienced in a long time. He's a rough, tough kid with a Joe Frazier type of mindset. He's going to be a little bit of a challenge for Wladimir, and he's going to bring a lot more intensity than we're used to, and this is the type of situation that's usually the worst for a good technical boxer."
Steward recalled how Thomas Hearns, who he trained from the amateurs to greatness as a professional, had problems with boxers who brought pressure. "Tommy could box with a Ray Leonard, a Wilfred Benitez or a Virgil Hill, no problem," Steward said. "But the biggest problems we had were with the wild, aggressive-type, overly-rough guys."
He's going to be a little bit of a challenge for Wladimir, and he's going to bring a lot more intensity than we're used to, and this is the type of situation that's usually the worst for a good technical boxer.
"-- Emanuel Steward, Wladimir Klitschko's trainer, on opponent Dereck Chisora
So, although Klitschko has the experience and the superior technical skills, Steward can see a competitive fight, at least for several rounds.
Chisora, 26, is an interesting challenger with a colorful and somewhat checkered background. He was born in Zimbabwe, Africa, but has lived in London since he was in his teens. Chisora calls himself "Del Boy," adopting the nickname of the lead character in a British TV comedy series ("Del" being the short form of "Dereck" in the London vernacular). He has a sideline selling cars, as does the character in the TV series.
Although he is not eager to talk about it in interviews, Chisora was in trouble with the authorities as a youngster. A probation officer suggested that Chisora try boxing as a means of expressing himself. Chisora won the English amateur championship in the super heavyweight division, showing a fierce, competitive spirit when he staged a storming last-round finish after falling behind on points.
Chisora's professional career has been marred by controversy. He was suspended for five months and fined 2,500 pounds by the British Boxing Board for biting an opponent, and he caused chaos at a weigh-in when he kissed his next night's opponent on the lips. Chisora said the incidents were all in good fun. More seriously, though, last month Chisora was handed a 12-week prison sentence -- and suspended for two years -- for assaulting his then-girlfriend.
Unsavory incidents apart, Chisora has ability. He destroyed Danny Williams, the former world title challenger, in two rounds last May -- although his opponent was considered just a shell of the fighter who knocked out Mike Tyson. Perhaps more significantly, Chisora twice stopped Sam Sexton, a former British Commonwealth champion who was undefeated going into their first fight.
In his rematch with Sexton -- a competent boxer with a good left jab -- Chisora showed adaptability, taking the fight to his opponent and craftily backing up onto the ropes in an attempt to draw his man into counterpunches. He gave the impression of being able to step up his pace to another level whenever he felt like it, and in the ninth round Chisora ended the fight with a series of big right hands.
There is a world of difference, of course, between the likes of a European-level fighter such as Sexton or a faded Williams and the powerful, accomplished and vastly-experienced Klitschko.
Chisora doesn't seem awed, though. "I am going to give him a war," Chisora told the British publication Boxing Monthly. "I am going to be on him. I am going to physically take what he has got and hit him everywhere I can hit him."
This sounds like the right attitude for an underdog challenger to take, but what Chisora imagines might happen and the reality of his situation could be cruelly different.
Chisora is a big man -- a little under 6-foot-2 and approximately 245 pounds -- but Klitschko will tower over him by about five inches. Klitschko's size might be more daunting than Chisora realizes when the two men are in the ring together. Chisora will have the same problem faced by so many others: He will try to find a way past Klitschko's long left jab without leaving himself open to Dr. Steelhammer's big right hand or his sneaky but dangerous left hooks.
If Chisora does what he says he will do and tries to attack vigorously, he will make things interesting but likely will create opportunities for Klitschko to do damage.
Klitschko's last defeat, against Lamon Brewster almost seven years ago, came when he was overwhelmed in five rounds by a fearless aggressor -- yet it is easy to forget the Ukrainian big man knocked down Brewster and almost stopped him before dramatically running out of gas. Klitschko's collapse that night in Las Vegas was strange indeed, but he has since won 13 fights in a row. The way he paces himself makes it seem he is ever mindful of what happened against Brewster, when Klitschko possibly used up too much stamina trying for the knockout -- punched himself out, as they say in the boxing business.
These days, Klitschko, 34, usually won't commit himself to an all-out offensive until he is absolutely sure that his opponent has been worn down to the point real resistance is unlikely. Thus, Klitschko has been widely labeled as effective but boring. The fight with Chisora has the potential for excitement, though, if the brash-talking challenger lives up to his bold talk and steams straight into the champion.
The suspicion is, however, that Chisora will not be able to maintain any sort of serious offensive -- Klitschko's jabs and counters will see to that. Once Chisora starts to step back and slow down, Klitschko should be able to assume the dominant role he has in so many title bouts by steadily jabbing the ambition out of his younger opponent and bringing in the right-hand artillery to force a stoppage between the sixth and ninth rounds.
Graham Houston is the American editor of Boxing Monthly and writes for FightWriter.com.
Houston: True test or tomato can for Klitschko?
Wladimir Klitschko is 34 years old, and even his trainer admits that youthful power and exuberance pose a danger to the heavyweight champion. But is Dereck Chisora a legitimate threat or just another notch in the Ukrainian's gold-encrusted belt?

you are talking about the t5 2 piece set bonus. Unless you are in a good raiding guild, or you are level 80, you can forget ever getting anything form that set.
Feral PvP at the high end:
-lack any good way to stun like rogues or war's can (we have some, but nothing like they do)
-only form of silence or spell interrupt comes from the s3 gloves
-bear does not do enough damage to amount to anything against most targets (rogues/pallies) being the exception
-cat has next to no survivability to stay in it long enough to kill most targets before they kill you
-do have SOME fear resist, but not much
-most feral dps gear lacks int or +healing to make our heals worth a damn
-pvp gear with resilience reduces damage done by dots, which is one of Ferals biggest source of damage, our bleed dots.
-"range bug"
now in places like AV, WSG, AB ferals can be decent to good depending on what they are doing. They will not wtfpwn anybody, just enough of a pain to stay alive, or keep someone else alive. In arena, we are a liability to the teams ability to ever rank high.
Now keep in mind I practically did nothing but pvp in bgs back when they gave xp from 50-60, and grinded my ray to rank 9 in the old honor system. I also did a fair amount of feral pvp to get the s1 honor bracers for a tank set.
I do find balance PvP a lot less frustrating than feral because you are at least range so its harder to get kited around, and its a lot easier to have access to heals and a druids CC when in caster form.

The eclectic décor at this neighborhood spot swings from loungey chic to sixties bohemian, with a dash of mod thrown in for good measure (we think). Freelancers and professionals are likely to scam off CafeBar's free wi-fi all day, then return at night for a drink and dinner. The mostly organic, New American menu is a good reason to come back: crêpes, small plates, artisanal salads, sandwiches, and burgers are all available. (There's also a daily brunch.) There are only three beers on tap, but the bottle selection is pretty diverse, and the full bar features plenty of frilly concoctions (moscow mules, mojitos, and the strange white-chocolate martini).
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

If you're planning to explore the northern Lakes, our Keswick Club campsite on the shores of Derwentwater is hard to beat as a base for your explorations. The site boasts a prime location in the north of the Lake District with stunning views extending over the lake to the hills beyond. Keswick is an organised campsite with good facilities – showers, toilets, washing up area, a laundry and a new backpacker room, particularly useful for those arriving on foot or by bike. Keswick town is within walking distance and ticks all the boxes for provisions, outdoor gear, eating and drinking. Whether you're a stroller, a rambler, a high-level walker or prefer to see the sights on two wheels, you can take your pick from numerous lake- and hillside tracks and trails easily accessible from Keswick campsite. Skiddaw is also easily reached from site. And, with Derwentwater so close at hand there's no shortage of water-based activities to dip into. This stretch of water is popular for canoeing and kayaking. Fishing can be enjoyed on the lake too. Try the eastern shore or hire a boat from one of the marinas and head to the centre of the lake to catch pike, bream and trout. For a less energetic way to enjoy the water and the views board one of the motor launches which operate around the lake and offer several drop off points. At the southern end of Derwentwater is the beautiful valley of Borrowdale where you'll find the Neolithic Castlerigg Stone Circle and the medieval and much photographed pack horse bridge at Ashness. Worth Noting Due to the possibility of Site flooding all units must have a tow vehicle on site overnight. There may be restrictions on pitch availability and use of awnings. If you have more than one car or are visiting the site you may be asked to park off-site. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Eat Local There is a farmers' market in Keswick on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Dave and Christine (Club Member) stayed May 2015 This review is for Keswick We have visited Keswick for almost twenty years and still keep going back. The site is ideally placed beside the lake with direct access to the water's edge and from almost anywhere on the site the views are incredible of the surrounding mountains and fells. The site facilities have recently been refurbished and are excellent, the majority of pitches are now hard standings but it is still possible to pitch on grass if desired. Keswick town itself is lovely and always has a holiday atmosphere with good shopping, pubs, sports facilities, parks and gardens, a lovely time warp cinema where coffee is always free while waiting for the film to begin. There is a theatre by the lake where we have seen some fantastic productions and the best bit is it is all only a ten minute walk from the site. As for walking there are many walks both high level and low level accessible from the site or by the lake launch service to various landing stages around the lake. For more distant walk locations there is a clockwise and counter clockwise bus service to and through some of the popular mountains and fells. Cycling is catered for with forest tracks and a disused railway from Keswick to an adjacent village and of course on the roads and cycle tracks. There are organised activities too such as walks and more adventurous activities. For less energetic times there are many houses and gardens to visit and some superbly scenic drives such as the Newland valley drive from Keswick to Buttermere where there is an easy level walk around Buttermere lake with a return over Honister pass back to Keswick.

Constituent Assembly elections: Cabinet to implement citizenship directive
The government has decided to implement recently issued Citizenship Distribution Directive-2070 to ease the distribution of citizenship keeping in mind the proposed Constituent Assembly elections. A Cabinet meeting on Thursday made a decision to that effect.
The ruling would facilitate the distribution of citizenship across the country by joint teams comprising officials from the Election Commission (CA) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA). The ministry, launching a campaign, is all set to dispatch 561 unified teams across the country and another 305 mobile service teams to assist and ease the distribution process. The unified team would have composition of at least seven staffs from MoHA, EC, except security officials.
The drive would start on Sunday, while the mobile teams have already started distributing citizenship in various districts. The move came after the EC made compulsory of voter ID cards with photographs to cast vote during the elections and citizenship as prerequisite for obtaining such ID cards.
In the new directive, children of those who have obtained citizenship by descent before 2063/064, around 1 70,000 in numbers, would be given the official document under the category of 'by birth'.
In another decision, according to Minister for Information and Communications Madhav Poudel, the office of Nepal Trust that manages the properties of former King Birendra Shah and his family members, will mobilise Rs 30.25 million for the upgradation of its infrastructure. The meeting also decided to accept the concessional loan of Rs 13 billion for the 140 Tanahun Hydropower Project from the Asian Development Bank.
The government has formed a committee to negotiate with the World Bank to implement the second-phase programme to be implemented by the Poverty Alleviation Fund. The panel will hold talks with the bank and seek US$ 80 million assistance to continue the programme.
