Su Vino WineryRead MoreItalian for "your wine," Su Vino doesn't only curate a lineup of award-winning varietals, it also crafts custom wines to suit even the most discerning palates. Inside an eye-catching tasting room, Su Vino Winery pairs glasses and bottles of its vintages with a menu of light appetizers and sensuous desserts. Red wines such as the jam-flavored cabernet sauvignon/merlot blend and peppery zinfandel pour crimson into tasting glasses, whereas white wines—including the tongue-twisting gewürztraminer—immerse taste buds in crisp, off-dry tones. They also open their bottle-lined space to guests interested in hosting a birthday party, bridal shower, or scared-straight event for delinquent grapes.7035 E. Main St., Ste. 110Scottsdale, AZ US
Vintner's Circle ScottsdaleRead MoreThe professional, knowledgeable staff at Vintner?s Circle spreads fondness for fermented grapes with hands-on wine classes that teach guests, family, and friends how to bottle wines, distinguish between different varietals, or pair wine with cheese. The shop?s unique winemaking courses take aspiring vintners through the accessible four-step process, which begins with choosing wine juices from a selection of more than 50 internationally sourced varieties. Participants then fill more than two dozen bottles with their own vintage. They can emblazon these bottles with custom-designed labels and corks that only open with fingerprint recognition. Vintner's Circle also stocks a variety of gifts for weddings, holidays, and other special occasions, as well as wine accessories and gifts for wine lovers to enjoy year-round. Wine-education classes, corporate events, and team-building events are also on offer.2765 N Scottsdale Rd.Scottsdale, AZ US
Twisted Rose WineryRead MoreAt Twisted Rose Winery & Eatery, wine not only plays the starring role, but makes a host of cameo and guest appearances as well. It starts at an on-site winemaking room, where Twisted Rose crafts and ages many of its wines. Patrons can enjoy these classic by the glass, bottle, or Super Soaker, or they can sink their teeth into dishes that use wine as a main ingredient. The pulled pork, for instance, has a merlot-based barbecue sauce, and the fettuccine alfredo gets coated in a chardonnay cheese sauce. It's all part of the plan, according to an interview in the Phoenix Business Journal. "We want the diner to experience these wines in every facet of their meal. Wine transcends simply drinking it by the glass."15040 N. Northsight Blvd Suite 104Scottsdale, AZ US

The Raising Glasses staff handles all aspects of each event, including securing a venue, providing the wines, and developing a marketing campaign to get the word out. In addition to its fundraisers, the company draws from a deep barrel of knowledge to pour wine education into open ears at in-home tastings and informative series. Customers can also use Raising Glasses for party-planning assistance, during which an expert will help chefs pair wines with meal courses and explain regional differences in tastes so hosts know what language to speak when asking a bottle to attend the party.3509 N19th Ave.Phoenix, AZ US
The Windmill WineryRead MoreHop aboard an antique tractor to take a hayride tour of The Windmill Winery, which spans more than 100 acres of Arizona countryside, boasting historical buildings and breath-stealing scenery. Visitors can wind through the working farm to see a collection of early 20th-century buildings plus a host of farm animals humming nursery rhymes under their breath. Wine sippers can then drink in views of two lakes, the Gila River, and the Superstition Mountains before heading into the 1920s dairy barn to test palates with five signature wines culled from small and organic wineries. Learn about each wine's origin and how to pair it with the right culinary sidekicks, then sate grumbling bellies with a freshly grilled meal served on the back porch of the First Pinal County Sheriff's House. The night will wind down under the stars with a bonfire, s'mores, and bone-chilling stories about pairing fish and red wine.1140 West Butte AvenueFlorence, AZ US
Page Springs CellarsRead MoreSourcing grapes from their own vineyard?as well as four other vineyards across the state?the winemakers at Page Spring Cellars are able to craft an eclectic variety of wines at a sunny, picturesque estate. Imagined and brought to fruition by owner and winemaker Eric Glomski, vintages and blends range in style from a delicate and nuanced sangiovese to the understated chenin blanc. At the stately tasting room, curious visitors sip samples from the collection of wines or, every third Thursday, work their way through a tapas-style winemaker dinner with pairings. Perhaps more spectacular are the outdoor spaces, which host summer stargazing with astrophysicists or picnics enjoyed on a deck that runs alongside a gurgling creek with splendid oral hygiene.1500 N Page Springs RdCornville, AZ US

Gerrard has won the Champions League and UEFA Cup with Liverpool plus two FA Cups and three League Cups.
London: Steven Gerrard has pledged his future to Liverpool for the rest of his playing career saying he will never leave the club.
The 32-year-old Liverpool skipper, who has made nearly 600 appearances in all competitions since making his debut in 1998, told the BBC he had opportunities to leave a number of times in the past five years.
"Everyone is aware that my head has been turned on a number of occasions but I know what it means to play for this club as a supporter and I will never leave," he said.
He also said that, despite a sluggish start to the season, a top-four finish in the Premier League and a trophy remained realistic aims.
Liverpool are currently 14th in the Premier League table after six matches and have three points from their first two Europa League matches but asked what their realistic target was, Gerrard said: "Top four and a trophy.
"I think teams will find it really difficult to play against us and I'm confident we can go on a run of winning games."
Gerrard has won the Champions League and UEFA Cup with Liverpool plus two FA Cups and three League Cups.

It's hard to believe that the summer is almost over and kids are going back to school today.
We survived a pretty tough winter that was especially hard on warm-season grasses. If we have another bad winter we want to make sure that our lawns enter it in the best condition possible.
If you haven't soil tested this year, now is a good time. If your pH is low, this is the time to determine from a soil test report how much lime you need to put on. Spreading lime in the October to November window would allow the winter rains to activate the lime by spring.
If your soil test indicates low magnesium, use Dolomitic lime, otherwise use Calcitic lime. The pH for Centipedegrass should be between 5.0 and 6.0. Bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass and Tall Fescue pH should range between 5.5 and 6.5. The pH for Zoysiagrass should be between 6.0 and 7.0.
Do not be tempted by all the TV advertisements to "winterize" you warm-season grass lawn. Never apply nitrogen after Sept. 1, not even at low rates. It stimulates the grass to grow at the wrong time, which increases the chance of winter kill and pest damage.
The various funguses attack the rapidly growing tips of the grass. The warm season grasses need to go into dormancy when soil temperatures reach 50 to 55 degrees Farnheit.
Fall is also a good time to control winter annuals in warm season grasses. The best time to apply a preemergent herbicide is between Aug. 20 and Sept. 15.
Do not apply "weed and feed" to warm-season grasses. The "feed" usually contains a high rate of nitrogen. There are preemergent/fertilizer products that do not contain any nitrogen but you must read the label very carefully.
To control crabgrass the soil temperature must be 55 degrees and to control Goosegrass, the temperature must be 65 degrees. It is very important to water the herbicide in within 24 to 48 hours. A December application of atrazine will also control the annual bluegrass that might have escaped the earlier application.
Fall is also a good time to aerate the lawn. Aeration works best when the turf is actively growing. Solid tines are usually what homeowners have available. The hollow tines which remove plugs are usually preferred by landscapers.
You may also wish to seed tall fescue during the fall as well. Most seed is sold as a blend of different varieties.
A straight cultivar is usually twice the cost of a blend. If you want to have your warm season lawn look like Augusta National in the spring, you may want to overseed
Perennial rye which provides better turf quality and wear tolerance that annual rye. The perennial rye will act as annual. It also grows at an even rate as opposed to annual rye.
A brief reminder is that if you haven't made it to the Market on Main on Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m. you're missing a treat. There's a lot of fresh locally grown produce. Get there early.

You need to be careful with knock off panels as you never know what you get. The Chinese are most often buying the cells that don't pass inspection or are considered "A" grade. To the naked eye the product is a great look-a-like but under closer inspection you can see why they are not "performs-like"...
This is a severe level of microcracking of the cells on a brand new, just out of the box, Chinese knock-off panel... The polymers used in the Chinese panels are also not the same, so how long they will hold up to UV is another question mark? The inventor of these panels still has a patent on the technology, which the Chinese ignored.. Yep cheaper because they stole the technology (did not have to do the actual R&D), or tried to interpret it, but look-a-like is not always the same thing... Caveat emptor....

Free shipping on orders over $35!
The new Stryker SR-497HPC is the big brother to the SR-447HPC 10 Meter Amateur Radio. Stryker has designed it for class leading power with 100+ watts PEP. As with the SR-447HPC they've loaded the radio with real world, common sense features that make using it a blast. Highlighted below are some of the more important features that the SR-497HPC offers.
7-Color Channel Display – The SR-497HPC features a 7-Color channel display (Stryker Exclusive)
Brilliant 7-Color LED Backlit Face Plate- Choose from 7 colors with the push of a button or let the CPU controller scan through all of the colors on it's own. Our exclusive face plate design provides operators with back lighted controls, making adjustments even in the darkest conditions easy. Best of all our design is extremely durable and can be dimmed using the color/dimmer button located on the front panel of the radio.
High Power- The SR-497HPC uses six IRF-520 mosfet transistor that provides the user with 100 + watts PEP. If you want be heard, the SR-497HPC has the power required to do some serious talking.
Multiple Step Dimmer – Stryker's improved dimmer allows you to fine tune how bright you want the backlighting and channel diplay. Simply press and hold the "color" button in until the radio dims to the desired level. You are no longer limited high, medium or low.
Heavy Duty AM Regulator – Stryker has upgraded the AM Regulator for increased reliability.
Digital Echo with/ Dual Front Mounted Controls – Provides the operator a much wider range of effects and control than typical factory or aftermarket echo boards. The SR-497 board is able to reproduce the human voice with virtually no distortion providing maximum clarity and enjoyment.
Two Different Roger Beeps – Two different roger beeps are included with the SR-497HPC. These are controlled using a switched that is located on the front panel. This is a feature that you will find on virtually no other radio direct from the factory. Most importantly the roger beep can be turned off when it's not needed.
Variable Power Control – Allows the operator to adjust or vary their carrier from one watt to 25 watts. This is a must have feature if the operator intends to use an external power device.
Variable Talk Back Control – The infamous talk back squeal is virtually eliminated with Stryker's independently controlled talk back circuitry. The operator can adjust the volume to the perfect level as operating conditions require. Best of all the user no longer has to turn down the microphone gain to stop the annoying squeal that is often the result of poor design or cost cutting at the production level.
Up-Armored™ Receiver- Stryker's exclusive receiver protection works even under the harshest conditions, such as those experienced at a busy truck stop with many operators running high power radios. In addition our receiver filtering is tighter than most radios on the market. This means adjacent channel rejection is improved.

Artwork Basics
We pride ourselves on our ability to imprint your logo or personalized graphic on just about any product or surface. In order for us to produce a great looking finished product, we start by reviewing your art file to ensure that it's "imprint ready".
Now, unless you're a graphic artist or techie, there is no need to read any further. Just call us at 1-888-788-0101 and we will let you know if your art file is in "imprint ready" condition and help you if it isn't. (Don't worry—we'll take you step-by-step).
We want to help you with your Art so you get exactly what you are expecting.
Artwork Guidelines for Graphic Designers
Hopefully you heeded our advice and called us so that we can take a look at your artwork and assist you, but if you want to learn more, read-on.
Since we use different materials using several different imprint methods, we don't have a single standard for artwork files but rather guidelines for readiness of artwork files. By identifying artwork guidelines, we can ensure quick, clean imprinting at an affordable price. (just like you want it)
The artwork guidelines define the quality criteria that determine the readiness of each of four common artwork formats. The guidelines cover both vector and raster art files, as well as including instructions to avoid common errors related to fonts and linked images.
We produce items in several different factories. The factory we use depends on the type of product ordered. Art requirements may change by factory. Please call us at 1-888-788-0101 for more information on the art requirements for your order.
Vector Artwork Files
As a general rule, Vector Artwork Files can be used to satisfy just about any of our imprint methods and will be considered "imprint ready". But before doing any work on your artwork file call us! The type of "imprint ready" file often depends on the imprint process (and the item(s) you selected).
Vector artwork files…
• Must be saved in the Postscript Format and contain no Postscript errors, stray points or colors assigned inconsistently.
• All type that has been set must be converted to outlines (curves). If future changes to the text will be necessary, the original font file must be supplied with the art file.
• All design elements in the file must meet minimums for line thickness. Failure to do so may compromise the final imprint quality.
• If the vector file contains any linked (placed) raster images, these images must meet minimum requirements for resolution when rendered at 100% actual imprint size and must be submitted with the original vector file.
Raster Artwork Files
• All Raster elements and art files must be sized to 100% or larger than the actual imprint size.
• All Raster images must meet or exceed the minimum resolution (pixels-per-inch) when rendered at the actual imprint size.
• All raster elements must be submitted in the proper color space (RGB or CMYK).
Page Layout Document
• Page layout documents must be prepared to render the artwork and all of its elements at 100% of actual imprint size.
• In addition to submitting the page layout documents, all vector and/or raster files that are referenced by the page layout document must also be included.
• Include any fonts that were used in the production of the page layout document.
Acrobat (PDF) Files
• PDF files created from vector files must retain the editing capabilities of the program that was used to create them (e.g. Illustrator or Freehand).
• PDF files that contain raster elements must meet the minimum requirements for raster art files.
• PDF files that contain vector elements must meet minimum requirements for vector art files.
• PDF files created from page layout documents should be submitted together with the source documents, fonts and all supporting files.
• No matter what the format or transfer method, artwork should NEVER be submitted without either a hard copy proof or the electronic equivalent. Properly prepared PDF files are often suitable as proofs. After receiving your artwork, we will return a proof for final review.
• Any fonts used in the production of art files should be converted to curves (outlines) prior to submission. If future typesetting will be required, the original font files must be included with the artwork file to be used.
Other Software?
• Only professional graphics/design software packages may be used to produce artwork. Although programs like Microsoft Word and Publisher are useful tools, they are not capable of producing art files of a quality necessary for imprinting purposes.
If you read through this and are a bit overwhelmed, that's ok. Just call us, we'll make it easy…..that's a promise.

Recipes & Drink Recommendations
Crock Pot, Co-op Style
by Kathy Humiston, Newsletter Writer
January opens with a flourish for many of us as we celebrate the New Year. Then the days pass...we drag our holiday greenery to the curb or compost heap and settle in for winter's passing. Many of us leave home in the grey, morning dawn and return after sunset, dreading the chore of making dinner for waiting family or friends. Imagine turning the key in your door at 5pm and being greeted with the warm, welcoming aroma of dinner ready for the table. A hot, wholesome dinner can be easy if you utilize a slow cooker, or Crock Pot.
Crock Pots first hit the small appliance scene back in 1970 when Rival acquired another small company and one of their products, The Beanery. This was a very basic unit with a ceramic interior for slow-cooking beans. It was soon renamed The Crock Pot, a name that has become synonymous with that style of appliance. It didn't take long for folks to discover that lots of other foods could be slow-cooked, often to their advantage. The crock is famous for slowly tenderizing cheap, tougher cuts of meat, for example. You may share my memories of mom or grandma tossing in an assortment of mystery meat, pasta or rice, some canned veggies and then crowning the whole mess with a can of condensed soup or barbecue sauce and letting it cook all day. Often the results were a relatively unappetizing mishmash called goulash! No wonder I never understood the appeal—or potential—of this little gadget.
Today, busy people everywhere are rediscovering Crock Pots. It is estimated that 80% of American households possess a slow cooker, many of them collecting dust on a pantry shelf. Crock Pots can easily be purchased at neighborhood hardware stores, discount and department stores. Often you can get a deal on someone's discard at a yard sale or thrift shop. The unit consists of three parts: the outer housing that encompasses the heating element, the inner, usually removable, ceramic crock and a lid. Lids can be made of metal, plastic or glass, with glass being preferable—you can see through it, glass is easy to clean and will not impart chemicals, flavors or odors to your food. A true Crock Pot-style of cooker offers two temperatures: Low or 200ºF and High or 300ºF. Some units have a "Keep Warm" setting that operates on a timer. Crock Pots now come in sizes ranging from one to seven quarts, and round or oval shapes. Most recipes are designed for a 3-1/2 to 4 quart pot. Cooker prices start at around $15 new, with most in the $20-30 range. When shopping, you may find something labeled as an intermittent slow cooker. These have a temperature control adjustable by degrees and normally have the heating element in the bottom, rather than around the sides of the unit. This carries a risk of food sticking and requires you to stir occasionally; otherwise these machines are much the same as Crock Pots. For simplicity, I will use the terms interchangeably.
The idea of your next meal simmering away for six to ten hours may seem kind of strange, but consider some of the advantages: An eight- to ten-hour Crock Pot recipe uses less than 25 cents worth of electricity; you could wake to a warm, creamy pot of cereal tomorrow morning; the kitchen stays cool in summer; your stove or oven has more space available for big holiday or party meals; crocks are great for keeping food warm at potlucks or on buffets; and, maybe most importantly, there is only one pot to clean after dinner!
There are a few general safety measures to keep in mind when using a slow cooker:
There are a plethora of slow cooker cookbooks on the market and several websites devoted to them as well. In general, though, it is easy to adapt your favorite recipes to this gadget. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Slow cookers really shine at producing comfort food-soups, stews, and bean dishes are ideal candidates. And those mystery mishmashes of the '70s—well, we can do much better with the great selection of whole foods, produce and meats here at the Co-op. Let's take a walk through the store...
The produce department is an obvious starting point for any tasty meal. Almost any vegetable (or combination) will be great in a slow cooker. Onions are a base flavor for many dishes; they will turn out best if you take a few minutes to soften them in a little oil or broth on the stovetop. You can do this in your cooker too—use high heat and expect the process to take 15-30 minutes. Other hard, root vegetables can also be pre-softened. This step ensures that they will be fully cooked in the end. Another benefit is the fuller, caramelized flavor you'll enjoy. If you are making a soup with a high proportion of liquid, you can skip this step if you like. Hard vegetables should be cut into smallish, uniform pieces, no larger than one inch square. If they are organic, many only need a thorough scrub, rather than peeling. Layer them into the bottom of your crock, as they take longest to cook. Really delicate veggies like spinach should be added near the end of the cooking time. While you are in the produce department, remember that your slow cooker is ideal for creating fruit butters, sauces and chutneys, too.
It's time to take that lovely produce over to the bulk aisle and find some partners for it. Beans are a natural in the slow cooker with a bit of care. First, beans (except lentils) must be soaked overnight. Before you add them to the cooker, drain and rinse. One cup of dry beans will yield two to three cups, cooked. For each cup of soaked beans, cover with two to three cups liquid. Do not add salt or acidic ingredients like tomatoes to the cooker until the beans are tender. For convenience, you may want to cook up a pound of basic beans ahead of time and freeze them in one or two cup portions so they are ready when you want them. In a pinch choose a quality, organic canned bean.
Want pasta instead of (or in addition to) beans? This staple is best cooked separately and added at the end of cooking time for proper control of doneness. You can add dry pasta to the cooker in the final hour of cooking, but remember that it will absorb a lot of the cooking liquid and may come out gummy.
What about rice, quinoa or couscous? Again, for best results cook these separately and add at the end. One exception is wild rice, which, not being true rice is not as starchy, and gives a better result. Creamy risotto also transfers well to the slow cooker—use about three cups liquid to each cup of Arborio rice in your favorite recipe.
Do consider making Chinese rice congee, though. This is a porridge-y dish that probably originated in the kitchen of a peasant trying to stretch a small amount of rice to feed many people. Combine one cup of short-grain or Arborio rice with six cups water or broth and slow-cook about six to eight hours. Additional ingredients often include garlic, ginger,
Most other whole grains cook beautifully in the crock. A cup of dry grain usually yields about three cups cooked. In most cases, you will want two to three cups of liquid for each cup of grain. This is a great opportunity to try something new in your casserole and, of course, cooked grains have been served for breakfast through the ages. Set up your cooker at bedtime and warm cereal will await you at dawn. Combine one cup of rolled or whole grain with 31/2 to 4 cups of water or juice. Try a mix of grains and toss in some dried fruit for your sweet tooth. Stir in a handful of chopped nuts at the end. Add milk at serving time if desired, but not during cooking; it will break down.
Let's get back to our soup/stew/casserole creation. Now is the time to add some meat to the crock if you choose. Most will cook and tenderize through the day just fine, but if you take a few minutes to brown meat in advance you may be happier with the final presentation. Browning also helps to reduce the fat content of any meat you add. Fish or other seafood is best added to the slow cooker in the last hour or so of cooking time.
Tempeh and seitan are excellent choices for the Crock Pot, taking on the flavors you choose to add. Again, browning can be a nice touch, but is not mandatory. If you want to add tofu or a veggie burger or sausage product, in most cases wait until the end of the cooking time to preserve the texture. It is best to drain and press the excess moisture form tofu before using. Tofu can be added early in cooking as a cheese substitute when creating dishes like lasagna, though.
Speaking of cheese, it is best to add dairy products during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Milk proteins tend to break down when subjected to long cooking times and can leave you serving an unattractive dish.
What next? Is there at least a cup of liquid in your cooker? Have you added some seasoning to the pot? Maybe a few crispy crumbs or a bit of garnish just before serving and you are finished and not a can of condensed soup in sight!
Here are a couple of easy recipes to get you started. Both work best in a 3-4 quart cooker and serve 4-6 people.
Winter Vegetable Stew
Old Fashioned Apple Raisin Cereal

Donations Fill Gaps in Niels Bohr Library's Collections
Donations of books to the AIP's Niels Bohr Library have been pouring in at an ever-increasing rate. The volume has occasionally overwhelmed Library staff—one 2007 gift came in 28 cartons—as they work to identify those titles that fill gaps in our collection, catalog them according to international bibliographic standards, and add them to our own online database (searchable on Google and other commercial Websites) and to the OCLC international bibliographic database. Today, however, we've caught up with the processing backlog and are ready for more accessions. Donors have provided an invaluable service in making the book collection perhaps the world's best for its subject areas. At times we have been contacted by researchers who say we have the only copy of a book in the United States, or even the only copy that they can locate anywhere at all.
The collection covers the history of the fields represented by AIP's Member Societies, ranging from physics, astronomy and geophysics to specialized fields like vacuum technology and medical physics. The bulk of the collection is 19th- and 20th-century scientific monographs and textbooks. Unlike nearly every other library in the world, we preserve different editions of translations of textbooks, which scholars have used to trace the evolution of both scientific ideas and how the ideas were taught. Also exceptional are the collections of laboratory manuals, instrument catalogs, and ephemeral pamphlets (for example, many from the 1920s explaining, or attacking, the theory of relativity). Scholars visiting the Library also welcome the published collections of papers and correspondence as well as secondary works such as biographies and historical studies. The breadth of the collection is largely due to the awareness of physicists and their heirs, as well as college and university librarians, of the Niels Bohr Library's unique status as a repository for historical materials.
Some of our friends have made special efforts to help us. For example, John Layman, Professor Emeritus of Physics and Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Maryland, working closely with AAPT, conducted a project to recruit donations to fill gaps in our collection of the Science Studies Series. (This series of popular paperbacks was published in the 1960s at the initiative of the Physical Science Study Committee as part of their effort to improve the physics high school curriculum.)
Our astronomy collection has been augmented consistently over the years by David DeVorkin, Curator at the National Air and Space Museum and a bibliophile since his graduate student days. Stephen G. Brush, Distinguished University Professor of the History of Science at the University of Maryland, for many years has contributed to many sections of our collection and has also provided advice on collecting policy. Brush inaugurated the annual listing of new books published in this Newsletter, now maintained as a much-appreciated volunteer contribution by Per and Eleanor Dahl.
As we go through a donated collection, we often find we not only have a particular book but every edition of it as well. The duplicate can be returned to the donor, but most donors let us keep it: we retain whichever copy is in the best condition, and sell the other to a dealer in old science books. The copy thus has a chance of finding an appropriate home, and the money we receive (averaging $3 a book) is used to purchase additional books.
All purchases are supported entirely by the Friends of the Center for History of Physics through their annual donations and endowments. We have had special help from an endowment established by the Brodsky Family and from individuals making a donation and asking that a book be purchased "in honor of " or "in memory of " another individual.
Donated books are not "free," for adding them to our collection and making sure they are well-preserved takes considerable staff time and resources. When we receive a donation we must sort through the books, check them against our holdings, examine each copy to see if it must be scheduled for physical conservation measures, and create catalog records. For most books a catalog record can be copied from the U.S. National Library database, but not infrequently we find no record and must catalog the item from scratch, uploading the new record to the national database.
At present we are focusing on adding to our collection of geophysics books, an area where we are not as strong as we would like it to be. We look forward to building this, like our other areas, chiefly through the generosity of donors. We anticipate that donations in all areas will increase even more. We speak for many scholars in thanking all who have helped us to preserve these collections.

Acee: Pagano's defense does like it said it could
They were moving before the snap, swarming after it. They got in the Chiefs' backfield, pestering Cassel and frustrating running back Jamaal Charles.
And, more important, taking the ball away.
Weddle, Cason and linebacker Donald Butler had interceptions, two helped by pressure of Cassel. Jammer, Phillips, Corey Liuget and Vaughn Martin forced fumbles. Phillips, Liuget and Atari Bigby recovered fumbles.
Sunday's victory wasn't as much dominating as it was larcenous. The Chiefs outgained the Chargers by 60 yards, had six more first downs and converted more of their third downs.
But, it's much more important what the Chargers did do and the impact it had.
The Chargers have done plenty of the games with 400 yards on offense and lost. In fact, they've lost eight of the 30 such games they've had under Norv Turner.
And as for yards allowed, the Chargers yielded the fewest in the NFL in 2010 and finished 9-7, out of the playoffs.
But taking the ball away is the surest path to victory.
Especially when the offense does enough to make the takeaways count. Butler brought back his pick 21 yards to the end zone, and the Chargers offense went a total of 118 yards for their other 17 points that came in the aftermath of takeaways.
"It's a turnover game," Butler said. "The more you get, the more likely you are to win."
Under Turner, the Chargers are 47-18 when taking the ball away at least once. Six times? Well, the Chargers yesterday improved to 26-2 all-time when they have a half-dozen or more takeaways in a game.
The Chargers simply have not had enough of those types of game-changing plays of late.
They were 15-7 the past two seasons in games in which they had a takeaway. Problem was, they had 10 games with no takeaways, third-most in the league in that span.
This is a different defense, with better players and a coordinator who knows how to use those players.
"It's beautiful to watch," linebacker Takeo Spikes said. "It's a pleasure to see it."
No, while the offense with so many new and rotating parts continues to meld Rivers won't mind watching that at all.

Rain Man
Yes, it's time to talk about the frogs. Only the laziest movie-watcher could claim they've simply been dropped into the picture. All through Magnolia, to prepare you for the plague rain, you're kept informed of the changing weather. The younger of the quiz kids, Stanley (Jeremy Blackman), even asks for meteorological instruments (and has been studying a book by Charles Fort, chronicler of unexplained downpours). Three times, amid normal precipitation, characters say, "It's raining cats and dogs." Three times you see signs that read "Exodus 8:2," giving chapter and verse of the second of Egypt's plagues.
Still, who could believe that Anderson would pull such a stunt? Playing on your expectations, he begins the episode with another feint: While having you follow the cop along a midnight street, Anderson lets you think you've heard gunshots. That's what the cop thinks, too, having been fired upon earlier in the day. Now he slams on the brakes--and sees two frogs sliding down his windshield.
Suddenly, the rain of frogs becomes general. It translates the cop's personal humiliation into widespread, public calamity--something out there, which calls for him to do what he likes best, helping others. To Claudia, by contrast, the frogs manifest themselves as the ultimate drug heebie-jeebie. (With classic slapstick timing, they fall only when she looks away.) At the home of the dying TV producer (Jason Robards), the frogs plop down comfortably in and around a spot-lit swimming pool; a sterile Southern California "oasis" suddenly teems with life. To the producer's self-destructive wife (Julianne Moore), lying in the back of a careening ambulance, the frogs are disaster piled on catastrophe. To the quiz-show host (Philip Baker Hall) they're a judgment from on high, prolonging a life he no longer wants. To young Stanley, smiling dreamily in the grammar school library amid their drifting shadows, the frogs seem the fulfillment of a promise.
In brief, there is no single rain of frogs; there are many. And that's what makes this plague--or blessing--seem so miraculous: not the freakishness of the event but its democratic multiplicity. I could say much the same for the miracle of Magnolia's performances--each flamingly intense, yet all blended into an ensemble--or for the wonder of an actor-centered filmmaking that's intricately imagistic. On every level, from its montage technique to the objects of its meditations, Magnolia tests to the limit the tendency of life to fall apart; and in pulling against that entropy, to gather (some of) its characters into a (mostly) happy ending, it offers a comic vision that almost does the work of tragedy.
From now on, under the legend "E Pluribus Unum," let the dollar bear the sign of a frog.

#52: Chicken and Bricks
Let me tell you a story. Three weeks ago, I had to go this competition. It was pretty early in the morning- around nine or ten I'm guessing. Can't really remember. So, yes. My mom made me breakfast. Chicken kebab toast. As brilliant as it would've been, I'm sure, I was in a hurry. So. I put it in my cupboard. I swear I was going to eat it later. Cross my heart and hope to die.
Fast-forward to today. I opened my cupboard. Remembered something. Felt for said something in the back, and, lo and behold! My sandwich had turned to brick. The crust, the chicken kebab, everything. Hard as stone, I swear. In fact, I had this poster I had to nail into my bedroom wall and I used the sandwich as a hammer. I've kept it in my toolbox for the time being.

with more extensive prevention services, and can create financial incentives for health plans to meet performance goals. Employers can also support wellness and physical fitness programs either through on-site facilities or through employee discounts to local gymnasiums or fitness programs.
Recommendation 5: The U.S. Congress should increase support for programs that provide primary care to uninsured and low-income people (e.g., Community and Migrant Health Centers and family planning programs of Title X of the Public Health Service Act). These programs increase the use of cancer prevention and early detection services among medically underserved populations.
A pervasive problem in the United States is poor access to health care because of a lack of health insurance. People with health insurance are more likely to have a primary care provider and to have received appropriate preventive care such as recent cancer screening tests. In 2001, an estimated 15 percent of the U.S. population (41.2 million individuals) was uninsured during the entire year (U.S. Census Bureau, 2002). Many others are underinsured, with poor coverage for interventions that have been proven to be effective, such as smoking cessation counseling and products.
Individuals who are uninsured (or underinsured) rely on a patchwork of public and private programs for primary care (IOM, 2000d). Community and Migrant Health Centers and Title X family planning clinics are vital sources of primary health care and are important providers of cancer prevention and early detection services. Full support for these programs enhances the nation's health care safety net and at the same time extends the availability of cancer prevention and early detection services to vulnerable populations. Even with increased program support, however, many people would likely remain underserved, given the fragmented and limited nature of the nation's health care safety net.
Recommendation 6: Support for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program should be increased so that the program can reach all uninsured women using innovative delivery strategies. Support is also needed for a similar program at the CDC to provide screening for colorectal cancer for uninsured and low-income men and women.
Underfunding of CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) contributes to lost opportunities for prevention. NBCCEDP has succeeded in improving screening rates among medically underserved populations, but the program reaches only 15 percent of eligible women because of limited financial support. This is especially unfortunate insofar as racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in cancer mortality can often be traced to under-use of screening services.

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: MAS says 'fearing the worst' for MH370
Published on Mar 9, 2014 10:33 AM
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Malaysia Airlines said on Sunday it now feared the worst for its missing plane carrying 239 people, more than a day after it went missing, and was working with a US company that specialises in disaster recovery.
"In fearing for the worst, a disaster recovery management specialist from Atlanta, USA will be assisting Malaysia Airlines in this crucial time," the airline said in a statement.
The flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, after losing contact with air traffic controllers off the eastern Malaysia coast.

Quite. I'm somewhat of a lurker on here, not much of a sailor, but I've read most of this thread...
And yes, it is possible to build a tank of a boat and supplement it with parts scrounged from a scrapheap which can just about be called a "yacht". However, most people don't want to take this approach to boating, and aesthetics on yachts are considered by most to be hugely important. Certainly, it is the aesthetics of yachts which first attracted me to them.
By way of analogy, I used to be a Land Rover enthusiast, and bought an old 1973 Series III ex-military Lightweight. It was a beast of a machine, huge girders welded into a ladder for a chassis, leaf springs off a bus, bull-bars from the set of Mad Max II, it was indestructible. I had heaps of fun fixing it up myself and hanging out with the other Land Rover enthusiasts, and although it looked rough and handled even worse, there was a certain beauty in its simplicity and ruggedness.
That said, I didn't spend half my time trying to explain to Porsche owners that although their cars may look much better, they would come off second best in an argument with a breeze-block wall...something which (I proved this) would not be the case with my Land Rover. Different people like different cars for different reasons, aesthetics are very important to some people, ruggedness and simplicity for others, and you make compromises on different qualities to find something suitable for the discerning individual.
It's why I find Brent's protestations on here odd: it's like a Land Rover owner trying to persuade Ducati riders of the virtues of four wheels and a chassis left over from a Victorian railway bridge. I'm actually quite impressed by the ingenuity of the home-made steel boats, and the reusing of scrap metal to make all the various bits, it is an interesting and innovative way to get yourself out to sea and requires no small amount of skill (I'm an engineer myself). But the vast majority of people don't want a boat which looks as though it was constructed during an episode of
Scrapheap Challenge
, even if it means that they could potentially come off second best against a stubbornly unsympathetic shipping container idling in the bay. Each to their own, and all that.

A new frontrunner? That's what Newsweek calls Clark. LINK
"Retired Gen. Wesley Clark may have only entered the presidential race on Thursday, but he is already the Democratic frontrunner, according to a new Newsweek poll."
"Clark won support from 14 percent registered Democrats and Democratic leaners, outpacing" Dean (12 percent), Lieberman (12 percent), Kerry (10 percent) and Gephardt (8 percent).
Howard Fineman's Newsweek piece on the Democrats' new "It boy" suggests that Clark is furious at Karl Rove AND Howard Dean. He's allegedly mad at Rove for blocking him from joining Bush's team after Al Qaeda attacked America. He's mad at Dean for allegedly leaking word of their secret meeting in Los Angeles. LINK
Time's Joe Klein asks: "Can the real Wesley Clark match the fantasy version imagined by peacenik Democrats?" LINK
Time's Karen Tumulty looks at Clark's difficulties in enunciating his position on Iraq. LINK
"Only a day after his announcement, Clark told reporters on his campaign plane that if he had been in Congress last fall, he probably would have voted for the resolution authorizing President Bush to use force in Iraq. In a single sentence he had undermined the rationale for his whole candidacy-at least for those who saw him as Howard Dean with stars and a war record. Clark seems to have realized this himself, for the next day he reversed course." LINK
USA Today 's Richard Benedetto reports on the new Newsweek poll that shows Clark in a tight race with the president, but makes sure to Note, "History suggests that predictions this far out on who is likely to win the nomination, let alone the general election, are based on a fragile foundation. Early leaders often have a way of fading." LINK
Benedetto also Notes that Senator Biden was asked to contemplate a candidacy by his colleague Senator Clinton, and he "noted [sic] that Clinton generates strong opinions pro and con."
The Des Moines Register 's Tom Beaumont reports on Senator Lieberman's Sunday attack on Clark about Iraq. LINK
Clark will "Hear it from the Heartland." LINK
Variety's Jonathan Bing reports that Wesley Clark, Jr., "is writing two projects for Wolfgang Petersen's Radiant Prods., an original script called 'Cold Shelter,' set in the Cold War, and a script called 'That Others May Live,' about Air Force para-rescue jumpers. He also sold an untitled crime thriller to Warner Bros."
More: "Like his dad, Wesley Clark Jr. is a West Point grad with service experience. He's charismatic, producers say, and adroit with a pitch."
From ABC News' Clark campaign reporter Deborah Apton:

Ok listen up cryptic your gonna have a run for your money with SWTOR now up and running.
Before STO fans start whining I'm a lifer here and I gotta say the last few months have been depressing to say the least..
SWTOR is releasing 1.1 patch on the 17th of this month with TWO new content missions..
SERIOUSLY?! I thought how the hell and why hasn't cryptic churned out stuff this quick with all the purchases that have been made via c-store and lifetime subs... the P2W crap isnt what I'm reffering too either.
I got over 120 days remaining on TOR and I'm sorry to say I wont be loggin into STO at all during this farce of game as its present state..
these guys are churning out bug fixes like nobody's business, STO been active now for 2 years and there ARE still game breaking bugs that refuse to be fixed...
CMON cryptic your gonna loose this ship... EVEN CHRIS OFF STOKED HAS DEFECTED TO PLAY! Your number ONE podcast has ceased doing shows because of this epic epic farce.
Anyway I'm still sad to see alot of how things are handled by cyptic I had high hopes at the start but now I'm just meh....

More than 100 chat room posts traced to his e-mail account by ABC News show the course of his radicalization. In high school Abdulmutallab described himself as "very ambitious and determined."
He was concerned he would not get into college at Caltech, Stanford or Berkeley because of his test scores.
"I tried the SAT. It was a disaster!!! I didn't practice well and I got 1200." Abdulmutallab attended college in London between 2005 and 2008.
He wrote of being lonely and sought friends on-line. "Can you be my friend?" he wrote. "I get lonely sometimes because I have never found a true Muslim friend."
Later, he wrote of joining protests against the war in Iraq, asking "when is lying allowed to deceive the enemy?" Still later he wrote of heading to Yemen.
"The Obama administration has been admitting lately, that Yemen is the new Afghanistan," said Clarke. "It is the new sanctuary. The new al Qaeda base, where people from around the world, who want to be trained are sent. No longer to Afghanistan, but to Yemen."
Click Here to Sign Up for Breaking News and Investigation Alerts From The Brian Ross Investigative Unit
Videos released by al Qaeda in 2010 showed Abdulmutallab and others in his training class in Yemen firing weapons at a desert camp whose targets included the Jewish star, the British Union Jack and the letters "UN." The tape also included an apparent martyrdom statement in Arabic from the then 23-year old justifying his actions against "the Jews and the Christians and their agents." He says, "the enemy is in your lands with their armies, the Jews and the Christians and their agents." He reads several passages from the Koran and adds, "God said if you do not fight back, He will punish you and replace you."
U.S. officials believe Abdulmutallab left Yemen in mid-December of 2009 on his suicide mission.

In this RSA Animate video, author and former Al Gore speechwriter Dan Pink discusses a series of studies about what motivates people -- and more practically, what motivates workers. He takes apart the simplistic notion that monetary rewards result in better performance; such rewards do improve performance for purely mechanical tasks, but when you get into knowledge work, it's not just about the money. In this talk, Pink lays out a simple set of guidelines that will help any worker or employer understand... READ ON
"The machine is busy digesting vast oceans of information in a single, all-encompassing, gulp. INTERRUPTION! INTERRUPTION! INFORMATION ALERT!" -Computer H14, in a 1963 film made by Jim Henson for The Bell System (now AT&T). This film is a piece of Henson ephemera -- a three-minute work created by a young Henson for a business seminar in Chicago. From the archive page:
The organizers of the seminar, Inpro, actually set the tone for the film in a three-page memo from one of Inpro's principals,... READ ON
In this brilliant talk, Professor Philip Zimbardo discusses different ways human minds focus on time. Do you focus on the past? If so, are you "Past Positive" (focusing on the good times) or "Past Negative" (focusing on failures)? Do you focus on the present? If so, are you hedonistic or do you just feel it doesn't pay to plan?
As Zimbardo says, "Most of us are here because we're future-oriented. We have learned to work, rather than play -- to resist temptation. But there's another way to be... READ ON
In this eleven-minute animation, psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist explains how our notion of the hemispheres of the brain being ultra-separate is a drastic oversimplification, and has had consequences for how we think about our behavior, our culture, and our society.

In this RSA Animate presentation, economist Jeremy Rifkin discusses emerging research on empathy. It's a fast-paced, smart talk -- and it deals with the core question what is empathy? More than wondering what it is, Rifkin discusses how we observe it arise in each human (anyone who has been around kids has observed this progression), research on animals that demonstrates the neurological basis of empathy, and the philosophical implications of empathy for our world. Why does empathy matter? Ultimately... READ ON
Nearly two years ago I pointed to Star Wars: Uncut, a web project in which 473 people each contributed 15 seconds of footage for a remake of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The scenes could be done in any way the contributors wanted -- and this frequently led to inclusion of the family dog (usually playing Chewbacca or one of the droids). Now, director Casey Pugh has released the full two-hour "director's cut" of his film, and it's wonderful. Check it out (my favorite part starts around 1:32:00; stick... READ ON
This week I'll bring you the best RSA talks -- a series of lectures a bit like TED from the UK. First up, an "RSA Animate" talk -- a whiteboard drawing done by hand (although edited a bit to speed it up), along with the audio from a lecture by Sir Ken Robinson.

Malcolm Gladwell is the author of iconic books including Blink and The Tipping Point. He has a formula for most of his work: find a core assumption about the world that everyone assumes is correct, then prove that the opposite is actually correct.

Sir Ken Robinson is an educator (a former professor) who believes that the fundamental principles we use to educate our children are wrong. In this talk, he lays out a series of anecdotes (most of which are hilarious) about education, kids, and how we're doing it wrong. This is a terrific talk for parents, educators, and kids themselves -- have you ever felt that school didn't nurture your creative instinct? I sure have. If you're like me, you'll find this talk instructive.

This is a TED classic: Temple Grandin explaining what it's like to be autistic, shortly after the release of a movie based on her book Thinking in Pictures. In the book and in the talk, Grandin explains how her cognitive experience as an autistic person differs from that of an average person (let's not say "normal"). Grandin's brain is very visual, and that has helped in her animal husbandry work -- she can think as an animal presumably thinks, and because of that, she's uniquely situated to understand... READ ON

No you didn't buy it.
I'm wondering if the buyer's badge gets added immediately or like any other badge at 0am australian time. If the latter, he will have the badge in about half an hour.
So I'm not sure if we can point the finger at him and say he hasn't bought it because of the missing buyers-badge
hover over your username in the upper right corner and click on downloads. there you should see your purchases and download them
if you have problems purchasing or downloading items contact the official marketplace support herehttp://support.envato.com/
Allot of scam lately, you never know. But if you bought it you should go to DOWNLOADS section and find it there.
If it's empty you didn't buy it!
Since he still has no buyers badge, cyzer were right. Still I'd like to know if that badge gets added immediately after the first purchase.
@FlatKing right, we have the handy direct link now, I forgot that

Rome, Italy

Bus trip a great way to see the city. Bus stops could be better signposted as quite difficult to locate from map provided. Headphone commentary ok but too many gaps when you are driving by interesing buildings but no no explanation.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Tour was was excellent but it was very busy. Guide was very knowledgeable providing invaluable insight into the history of the items on display. We were met as advised and the headphones were essential to hear the commentary, a great idea. Would recommend as the best way to get the most out of day.

What a great experience
The guide David provided essential facts n history balanced with a bit of humour to make for a great day. We were met as advised and all went to plan for the 3 hour experience. David was very courteous to those less able to walk and accomodated everyone.

Urvashi Dholakia and Vrajesh Hirjee talk about their plans for the "Big Boss" house
Television actress Urvashi Dholakia says it was only a matter of time before she agreed to appear on the show. "The channel has been persistent for the last five years in wanting me on the show but it was I who kept turning them down." This year they finally cracked through to her.
The actress, most famous for her stint as Komolika Basu on the soap opera Kausautii Zindagii Kay is most excited about not having to worry about acting for the show. "For a change the audience at home will see the real me and not the actress," she says.
Speaking about her family and how they have reacted to her decision to enter the reality show, Urvashi says, "My parents keep saying that this way the people will finally get a chance to see me as I am".
Urvashi claims she is not looking at the show as a competition from the start. "It's not a competition unless people inside make it one. I'm going to take it as it comes", she points out.
While the contestants on the reality show live in a controlled environment with constrained resources and luxuries, Urvashi has taken some of her father's pictures along with her for support in the house.
Vrajesh Hirjee
The comic actor admits readily that the prospect of the show was a "scary thing" for him but he took it up nevertheless because he expects to have serious fun on the way. Another factor that pulled him in was the "insane reach that the show provides to an actor."
His arsenal for the show comprises confidence in his capability to last the three month duration of the show and his habit of "saying it like it is". He adds that "while the human mind is unpredictable" he will stick to this plan.
Mulling over how the show shall affect his work Vrajesh says that he will regret missing some performances of "Chinese Coffee", the play he is currently involved in but he is happy that actor Aamir Bashir will fill in for him. He also looks forward to attending to his upcoming movies Mr. Money and Shortcut Romeo post the reality show.
In the interim Vrajesh plans on spending time in the show "on a clean slate" and looks forward to what seems "almost like a paid holiday."

Windows 8 is barely taxiing on the runway as a PC operating system, but Microsoft has already made a splash in the tablet market. Figures from Strategy Analytics show the operating system had a 7.4% share of the global tablet market in the first three months of 2013.
Apple remains the dominant player with a 48.2% share, down from 63.1% a year earlier. Android's share increased from 34.2% to 43.4%.
I discussed this last night on the NZ Tech Podcast with Paul Spain, who made an interesting point. There are no cheap Windows 8 tablets and Microsoft has yet to deliver a version that works with a seven-inch screen. So Windows 8 only plays in the top end of the market.
Smaller tablets – which are also cheaper tablets – make up roughly half the total market. So that means Microsoft's share of the full-size tablet market is closer to 15%.

Ukrainian rescue workers collect bodies of victims at the site of the crash of a Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 298 people from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur in Grabove, in rebel-held east Ukraine, on July 19, 2014. AFP PHOTO / DOMINIQUE FAGET
HRABOVE, Ukraine: A separatist leader in eastern Ukraine says rebels have recovered the black boxes for the downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
Alexander Borodai said Sunday that the devices would be handed over to the International Civil Aviation Organization.
He also said the bodies recovered from the crash site in eastern Ukraine would remain in refrigerated containers at a train station in the town of Torez until the arrival of an international aviation delegation.
The plane was shot down Thursday over disputed territory, killing 298 passengers and crew.
