Ave Premium Malbec 2008
Malbec from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
The color is a deep ruby-red with violet shades. The nose is slightly floral with hints of violets, plums, raspberries, vanilla and slightly-toasted coffee. In the mouth, the wine presents good structure with nice ripe and juicy tannins. It is a wonderfully balanced, medium-bodied wine.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Dark ruby red, expressive nose of incense, exotic spices, violets, and black cherry, savory, stylish. "
Ave Winery
Though the dynamic careers of Mario Pardini and Iacopo di Bugno transitioned many diverse disciplines including music, journalism, cinematography and economics there was always one inexorable constant: passion. Lured to Mendoza in 2004 the two young Tuscans were seduced by the sights, music, dance, food and intense fervor for life that pervades the Argentine culture. They were enraptured by the majestic mountains and the lush oasis of vineyards at the base of the Andes but what captivated them the most was what they affectionately referred to as Mendoza's "eldest son": the Wine! Desiring to establish an avant-garde winery that celebrated their ancestry while optimizing the potential of Argentine viticulture they sought and acquired 40 hectares of prime vineyard in the prestigious region of Pedriel, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, counting among their neighbors some of the finest and most honored Argentine wineries. To complete the marriage of enological traditions they hired Tuscan winemaker Alberto Antonini to assist them in transforming their philosophies and passion into wines befitting the name "AVE," which translates as hail! and was the revered greeting the Romans offered to Caesar. As Italian wine makers in the new world Mario and Iacopo produce wines with depth and power yet still exhibit the structure and harmony reminiscent of the wines of their heritage. Of their "eldest son" they say "old age does not exist, only maturity." View all Ave 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.

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.

06.05.07 - By Chris Acosta: Its one day after Oscar De La Hoyas unsuccessful defense of his 154 lb. title against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and a surf through various website threads seems to suggest a bias that confounds me. Many fans have proclaimed Mayweather as having dominated the Golden Boy just as he has most of his previous 37 opponents. HBO analyst Max Kellerman had Floyd up nine rounds to three and seemed perturbed as to how Oscar could have won any more than that. As I watched the fight I was shocked (though I shouldnt have been given his inconsistency) that Harold Lederman could give the challenger and pound- for- pound fighter rounds that De La Hoya seemed to have won..
(Oscar De La Hoya, recoiling from a right hand from Floyd Mayweather Jr.)
Now before you skip this entire piece to post a reply to my apparent delusion, understand that I also had Mayweather as the winner by a 7-4-1 margin. I had no argument with the decision and see no need for as rematch. This fight, as is often the case when contested at such a high level of skill wasnt a matter of who did more.
This bout was a battle of focus and the winner would be the fighter who could make the least mistakes. In fact, I saw only one round- the 10th- that was definitive in favor of Mayweather. The rest of the rounds were difficult to score.
The rationale that Floyd was much more accurate was reflected in the punch stat numbers with his superior percentage. But statistics dont always tell the entire truth and we should know that by now. De La Hoya flurried in spots and many of those punches were body punches. Most of those blows werent clean however but they didnt seem to hurt his cause. Floyd was often short with his jab in the first half of the fight, his hook was blocked almost to the point of being ineffective and his right hand leads were scarce. Meanwhile, Oscar forced the fight and when he remembered to jab, landed the punch with enough authority to move the smaller man backwards.
And something interesting was seeing how heavily Mayweather was breathing between rounds. For a man to show such an uncharacteristic display of fatigue speaks volumes about what was happening to him. But it also revealed how intelligent and adaptable the new champion is. As he predicted, Floyd gradually saw the man in front of him slow down. Oscars hands began to drop and his punch output dwindled. As soon as this happened you could almost feel Floyds relaxation return to form and his
punches remained sharp. To his credit, De La Hoya landed the occasional bomb but he appeared very tired and unable to corner an opponent who caught a second wind he rarely ever needs to call upon.
So why the apparent disdain for Oscars performance? Thats easy to answer. Hes popular. Its a gift most of us cannot relate to whether it be at the high school level much less a world stage. Does his popularity afford him the luxury of gift decisions? Sure it does if youre on the side of Pernell Whitaker or Ike Quartey. But it works that way for every fan favorite. This
perk however, is a double- edged sword. Oscar was outright robbed against Felix Trinidad and many thought he won the rematch with Shane Mosley. Do judges hold their own grudges towards glamour? I shouldnt have to even answer that one.
Its human to envy what we perceive as privilege. Oscar won a gold medal, fought for a title fight wage in his pro debut and was afforded the kind of exposure that bordered on overkill. In essence, he was the song that gets played way too much on the radio until we stop listening, that is, until the song crosses over to a car commercial. But thats the Golden side of it.
What we didnt see was the upbringing in East Los Angeles (a nice place to visit after dark and yes I am kidding) and the discipline to avoid the kind of trouble that ruins many a young persons life. We didnt see the countless hours of work he put into the sport and sacrifice to achieve the pinnacle of amateur boxing. Just like every other fighter who dreamt of riches and glory, Oscar put in his time.
And in a career consisting of forty-three bouts, half of which took place against former or current world champions, and close to half of that comprised of fighters who were at the time pound-for- pound candidates, his accomplishments are amazing. And isnt it remarkable that in the face of so many world-class boxers that Oscar was only stopped once and this because of an ill-advised jump up to middleweight against a man who would eventually win the light-heavy weight crown?
Do I think Oscar De La Hoya is a great fighter? No. As much as I would love to say that he is, I know that proclaiming him as such would be giving in to everything else that he represents: the charm, the reluctance to bad-mouth opponents and his charity work. But in terms of his ring resume lets be fair.
The Golden Boy is a guy who always comes into the ring in top shape, fearlessly seeks out challenges and fights his privileged ass off. Hes beaten some of the best, lost only to the very best and most certainly deserves entrance into the Hall of Fame once he is eligible. And as far as his popularity goes, I sure as heck felt proud that our sport was finally back in the headlines at a time when it is imminently spiraling towards fringe sport status. This would not have been possible without him. If he could have stopped Quartey in that final round, fought less stubbornly against Mosley in their first fight and just continued boxing against Trinidad in those final three rounds, his greatness would be secure. But I wont hold any of that against him.

Customer Reviews
Great app
I read some reviews and was a little turned off. But I decided to try it. I'm glad I did. I wanted an easy way to view and delete photos an videos. This app makes it easy to do so. If you're looking for something simple like I was get the app. Can't beat it for free. Wifi setup was very easy, I was watching videos within minutes. Your gopro manual gives you the password then from there you just change the camera name make a password aaaaannnnndddd done. Hope this helps!
Love the idea...execution could use some work
I just received a Go Pro Hero 4 Silver and was finally able to connect it to my iPhone 6. There were issues, but it worked in the end. I LOVE the intention of this app - being able to control the camera from your phone, update software, view & download photos & video to my phone. However, it does need work. The app is glitchy and there is a lag between what the camera sees and what I see on the phone. Fix these issues and this would be a 5 star app!!
Pretty Frieking Great!
This app is great! I don't know how good it works with the 6 and the 6+ but while I'm coming back from snowboarding, I just turn on wifi before I leave, and I can watch my footage while my GoPro is buried in my duffel bag in the back of the trunk! New updates are good but I would not use it for filming frames stuff because of the lag. Overall it's great and you can easily download footage to your camera roll and send then out to your friends!, Instagram

Kidd-Gilchrist at peace with speech disorder
"Part of it is the speech and part of it is he just does not like" doing interviews, Richardson said. "I think a lot of it is because growing up we never allowed him to do it."
Richardson accepts her son's stuttering will never completely go away.
"But he's come to grips with it," she said. "So now he's at the point where he'll say, `Mom, I love who I am.' And he should ... Michael is the most wonderful, caring person you'll ever meet. He hasn't let this disability shape the person he is. I'm proud of him for that. He's a very confident young man."
The Bobcats picked up on Kidd-Gilchrist's quiet confidence during pre-draft meetings.
"He's a high character person," Bobcats general manager Rich Cho said. "Out of the 17 years I've been in the NBA and all of the draft interviews I've been involved with, his was definitely in the top five."
The Bobcats are confident in his ability on the court, too.
Owner Michael Jordan this week compared Kidd-Gilchrist to a younger version of former teammate Scottie Pippen.
"He's going to be fine in the NBA," Jordan said.
Kidd-Gilchrist isn't afraid of the challenges ahead of him - on or off the court.
He knows he'll be counted on as a cornerstone of a rebuilding franchise and is quite aware of the obligations that come with that.
"I hope that I can become a role model for kids" with speech disorders, Kidd-Gilchrist said. "That's my goal. ... You just have to take your time. You'll find the words."

They Call It 'Evolution' For A Reason
ANN had a good time at this year's annual Oshkosh Aerial Love-Fest... and spent a LOT of time talking to folks to learn about the best and brightest in new aviation planes and products... like the latest updates to the swiftly evolving Aspen Avionics Glass panel retrofit program.
This is a previously unreleased video from the ANN archives.
ANN news editor Tom Patton had a chance to talk with Ed McCaskill, the pilot and owner of a Pitts S1s. The original S-1 Pitts Special was designed by Curtis Pitts in 1944. The aircraft was popularized by Betty Skelton, Caro Bailey and other airshow performers, which led to offering plans to build the airplane in 1962. As the Pitts S1 gained popularity, requests were made to improve its inverted flight capabilities. A symmetrical airfoil was designed and added to the airplane. The designation was changed to S-1s to indicate that this airplane had the symmetrical airfoil.

Representatives of world governments meeting in London vowed on Thursday to put stockpiles of ivory "beyond use" and extend a ban on its trade in a bid to save African elephants from extinction.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the conference that wildlife poaching was a global criminal industry that ranks with drugs, the arms trade and people trafficking.
"We are at the 11th hour to prevent the wildlife trade destroying some of the most extraordinary species in the world, but today I believe we have begun to turn the tide, if we follow up everything that has been agreed," Mr. Hague said.
The conference, attended by delegates from more than 40 countries, linked poaching to international crime, political corruption and even terrorism. In a communiqué, participants said poaching "fuels a cycle of instability, affecting poverty levels as well as regional and international security."
The conference called for greater international cooperation and tougher laws, and urged governments with stockpiles of ivory to destroy them.
The international ivory trade was banned in 1989, but one-off sales of stockpiles have been permitted by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species. Conservationists say that has helped fuel demand for the illegal elephant tusks.
The presidents of Botswana, Chad, Ethiopia, Gabon and Tanzania, who attended the conference, backed an Elephant Protection Initiative that includes closing domestic ivory markets in countries that still have them; extending the ban on trade for at least 10 years; and putting stockpiles "beyond economic use."
The British government hosted the two-day conference, enlisting everyone from Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry to David Beckham to help drive home its anti-poaching message.

text: Miguel Angel Sano Sweepstakes By Randy Lerman , Contributor Jul 8, 2009 Share Tweet Next ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) 59 Reads 2 Comments With the international prospect signing period having recently began, MLB teams are doing their homework and scouting to see what players may have an eventual impact on their franchise. Miguel Angel Sano is a shortstop from the Dominican Republic who is considered to be the consensus best international prospect of 2009. He just turned 16 years of age; however, his age is under investigation because of age accuracy rumors. The sweepstakes has been narrowed down to what seems like three franchises.Along with the Orioles, the Minnesota Twins and Pittsburgh Pirates have shown interest in this international talent. The Orioles have been said to see Sano as a first round pick if he were in the MLB draft, so they may offer up a deal higher than both that of Brian Matusz and this year's top pick, Matt Hobgood. One of the main factors here is the confirmation that Sano is indeed 16 years old. Once the age situation is investigated and straightened out, the sweepstakes between the teams will heat up. I think that Sano could sure up the shortstop position in the future while it will be held down by Cesar Izturis in the present. A last thing of note, it was mentioned somewhere that Sano has been compared to Miguel Cabrera, which in case you haven't watched baseball in the past 9 years is a great compliment.More news will be posted on Miguel Angel Sano as this situation continues.

Ferry connections N-Europe to Baltics?
Hi travellers of the Old World,
we (2 people) would like to take a ferry from Eastern Germany/Poland to the Baltics (ideally Helsinki/Tallinn but any other suggestion welcome) and return to Germany by bike. What are our options?
I understand that the connection Rostock-Tallinn was closed down in 2013?
It seems that ferries departing from Poland are directed towards Swedish ports only?
We are also wondering about the costs. What is a reasonable price for such a distance pp + vehicle based on your experiences?
Many thanks,
I only know of Finnlines, who go from Travemunde, Rostock and Gdynia to Helsinki. But contrary to what you seem to think, Helsinki isn't in the Baltics.
Who cares about what a reasonable price is? The prices are listed on their website and if you don't want to pay them, find another destination :D
According to their website, Finnlines currently operates only a cargo boat between Gdynia and Helsinki, so passengers cannot use it. They do have ferry services from Rostock or Travemunde to Helsinki. I just checked those a while ago, and they should be starting a special offer for motorcyclists just about now... and IIRC, a basic cabin for two + 1 bike was somewhere around 400 euros one-way, no meals included....... but you really need to check that and all the details from them yourself.
Been four years since I´ve used any of the ferries in Europe, but at least back then it seemed like ferries between Germany & Finland were more expensive than ferries doing similar distances in the Mediterranean, for example. Me & my GF payed about 250 euros for a 23-hour ferry trip from Palermo, Sicily to Genoa, and we had 1 bike, and a cabin for ourselves, on a brand new boat. Considering this, and the fact that it was already 4 years ago, prices tend to go up, I think that 400 euros from Germany to Finland for two people (having their own cabin) + 1 bike should be in the ballpark. Finnlines´ listed prices can easily be 600-700 for the same service, especially during the high season. Also do note, that you can take a deck seat, that´ll be much cheaper. And I´ve never checked, if there are services from Germany or Poland to Tallinn, Estonia, for example.
I'm curious why the OP posted Helsinki/Tallinn as a destination and along what route he wants to return to Germany by bike.
When I was in Finland I met a German couple who did what the OP wants to do: they took the ferry from Travemunde to Helsinki and drove back to Germany, first going up through Finland, to the Northcape and then back through Norway.
People I know that went to Tallinn by ferry all rode back through the Baltic States and Poland.
Thanks for all the replies so far.
@GvG: I am aware of the fact that Helsinki is not one of the Baltic states. :D However, its a port very close to the Baltics and maybe the only option for us to get to Tallinn is via Helsinki (do you know of any other connections?). Reasonable prices pop up when there is some competition. My friend Google has so far only found Finnlines operating in that area. The ticket is too much for our budget. Thats why I am here
@Pecha72: thanks for sharing your experiences. Ideally we would like to go from Poland (somewhere) to Tallinn and then via the Baltics all the way down to Germany. As I mentioned in the first posting it seems that Rostock-Tallinn is not available anymore (but please do correct me if I am wrong).
You can also consider going through Sweden and taking the boat from Stockholm to Helsinki.
Prices in English websites are relatively higher (don't ask me why), so try google translate with Finnish websites to get a better deal, perhaps it would be same with Swedish too.
There are 2 ferries operating that route, viking lines and silja lines. Same companies also operates Tallinn - Helsinki route.
From Germany, Travemunde-Helsinki seems to be only option with Finnlines and it is really expensive, I agree.
I do believe there are direct connections from places in SE Sweden to Tallinn as well. I don't know if you have to go all the way to Stockholm to catch them.
Typically when I am trying to get down to Europe, I take a ferry to Stockholm and then run straight down to Copenhagen via Helsingborg. The ride takes about 7 hours or so if you don't stop for much. Realistically you could be in N. Germany via Femahrn in a really long day's ride of about 10-12 hours. Depends on your endurance, but when you compare what Finnlines charges to get you from Germany to Helsinki, you'll find you will save a lot of money. Just a thought for you.
A couple of points about the riding part from my experience. This summer on my way back from Italy I did Warsaw-Tallinn in a single 14 hour stretch. It's about 950km as I recall. Via Baltica is generally acceptable condition. However, from the Poland-Lithuania border SW to Warsaw, or W to Gdansk, the roads are pretty rough and tumble. Not much out there either aside from the city of Alexandrow. I would be sure, if I were you, to have your things in order before getting much south of Kaunas in Lithuania. Just a word to the wise. I wasn't aware that corner of Poland was so empty.
BUT...if you are riding a BMW bike, there is a dealer in Alexandrow for your information.
If two people + 1 bike can get on the Finnlines boat in Travemunde for ~ 400 euros, and this includes their own cabin, I´d most definitely take that, instead of heading towards Sweden, and especially when going home after a long trip in other parts of Europe.
In case you´ve never been to Sweden or Denmark before, THEN riding through there could of course be nice...
I think if it's the way back or the way out, it differs a bit. I also personally would like to take the ferry if I am returning home, after long holiday and long hour rides comparing to if I am just starting; then I would prefer to ride along.
I am leaving tomorrow From Helsinki to Hamburg with Stockholm ferry, that ferry was only 75 euros in Finnish web site (156 in English web site). I decided to take that route and ride through Sweden around 950 kilometers instead of direct to Travemunde and pay 500 euros, still some 100 kilometers to go.
Probably money-wise, it is not that different, didn't really calculate it, I want to cross the Oresund bridge :)
Sometimes the English language doesn't yield the proper results.
Hi folks,
it's time to leave. Thanks for all your input, both suggestions and remarks. :)
One option was to ride to Poland, take a ferry to a port in South-Sweden, ride up to sthlm and board a ferry to Tallinn. But then we changed our plans quite a bit. We will leave tomorrow to Rostock, take a ferry to Denmark and go via Copenhagen and the Oresund Bridge (very much looking forward to driving there!) to Malmö-Karlshamn. The ferry departing from here will bring us to Klaipeda. And then we'll roam around in the Baltic states (no plans yet), coming back on the road via Poland.
There is much cheaper option to travel ca 120 north from Stockholm to place called Kappelskär, and take a ferry to Paldiski. ca 100 km from Tallinn. And then continue to south towards Poland.
http://www.dfdsseaways.ee/ is the site.
Stockholm-Tallinn ticket is available here: https://booking.tallink.com/?locale=et but i must warn you about the price.

Glimmer of Gold Rush dies: Calif. bans gas dredges
When miners killed Karuk people and destroyed their villages in the 1850s, the survivors faded into the hills, where they eked out a living hunting deer, fishing for salmon and even panning a little gold to buy flour for frybread.
A century and a half later, members of the Karuk Tribe have mixed feelings about the fight. Many harbor bitter memories of stories told by their grandparents of the miners destroying villages and washing down whole hillsides with giant hydraulic nozzles to get at the gold mixed in with the quartz and serpentine that color the rocks blue-green, gray and white.
"We just barely made it through that experience," said Florence Conrad, a member of the tribal council, while sitting at a picnic table at Katimiin, the place her grandparents taught her was the center of the world.
It was near the site that stories say Coyote tricked two women into releasing the salmon they had dammed up in their house. Tribe fishermen still net salmon at Ishi Pishi Falls, though the numbers have dwindled to a few dozen.
The moratorium came as remodeling contractor Matt Lauer, 37, of Portage, Wis., and Aaron Webb, 38, of Rapids, Wis., who recently sold a knife sharpening business, were getting ready to go home after their first taste of the thrill of finding raw gold.
Immersed in the river in their wetsuits, prying out rocks to get the dredge hose down to the bedrock where the gold is lodged, they regularly find themselves looking at each other and smiling at the idea of having fun and making money at the same time.
"It's an adventure," said Webb.

Don Macpherson: Baseball, the Montreal Canadiens, and political games in Quebec

How A Conflict In Florida Policies Means The End Of A Student Help Desk
A recurring theme in Florida education is that policies intended to address separate issues can and do conflict with each other.
For instance, Florida lawmakers changed high school graduation requirements last year so that students no longer have to complete Algebra II. Research shows most students won't use Algebra II in their careers, and many students struggle to pass the course.
But eliminating Algebra II conflicts with the state's adoption of math standards based on Common Core. Those standards ask every student to complete concepts traditionally taught in Algebra II courses.
We came across another example at Ocoee High School, west of Orlando, reporting on how Florida schools are upgrading their technology for online Common Core-tied exams.
That school is one of seven in Orange County which received a top-to-bottom tech overhaul to figure out what works best for the new tests and a 2015 requirement to deliver half of classroom instruction digitally.
Every students is assigned a MacBook Air, and students are the first call when something goes wrong. But the school will have to end its student help desk — known as iKnights — because of a state requirement that every class have an end-of-course exam at year's end.
"Unfortunately we won't be able to continue that program next year," principal William Floyd said. "There's no matching end-of-course exam for it, so we can't offer it anymore. There's actually quite a few courses like that."
The Orlando Sentinel reported in March that Orange County schools plans to eliminate or combine more than 100 courses rather than create end-of-course exams for them. Other school districts are also eliminating or combining courses because of the exams.
But eliminating iKnights — the school treats it as a course — means students won't have the chance to pick up information technology, networking, computing and other experience. Giving students more chances to earn real world experience or industry certifications has been a top legislative priority the past two years, including creating a new high school diploma category focused on earning industry certifications.
"That's been really neat form their perspective," said Thomas McNabb, Orange County schools' infrastructure director, "in terms of getting some experience, getting to help out their fellow students.
"They've certainly helped out in terms of resolving issues."
But as Floyd notes, iKnights must go: "Every teacher has to be given a test on the students that are assigned to them to determine how they are evaluated."

A pleasant Encounter about a Dry Box Horse
I had a pleasant encounter at the WPRA Finals with a nice lady who came up and introduced herself to me. The lady told me about her Dry Box mare that she runs and enjoys so much. We had not met Mandy as her father-in-law is the one who comes to our sales to buy the young horses and then later passes them on to Mandy and her husband Jay. I was tickled to meet Mandy Tiechert and hear about how her mare was doing. Mandy has been to the Mountain States Circuit Finals twice because of this mare. They call her "Risky." Her sire is the late Dry Box sire, Freckles Gigolo by Colonel Freckles and her dam is an appendix mare that we used to have named Risky Grounds. Mandy told me of her successful summer on her but that she recently had a bone chip removed. We wish them a great recovery. It's so awesome to have such nice people riding and representing our horses. Here is Mandy's letter about the mare and a picture of them at the 2009 Mountain States Circuit Finals:
Risky has been an outstanding horse with a huge heart. She has made
the short go at Greeley, and placed at Laughlin, as well as many
Mountain States circuit rodeos. She gives all she has every run. She
made the circuit finals the first year she went to prorodeos and was
an integral part of my making them again this year. Thank you for the
opportunity to have such a great horse. My husband and my father in
law also ride Henderson horses, and we will continue to do so. They
are outstanding athletes with big hearts and sane minds.

Android 5.0 Lollipop adoption rate is so low it didn't appear on Google's distribution chart January 9, 2015 at 12:01 pm
Android 5.0 is a big step for Android, but the rollout seems to be lagging behind last year. In Google's most recent data, less than 0.1% of phones and tablets are running Lollipop. What's the hold up?
Nokia N1: An iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0, priced at just $250 November 18, 2014 at 8:35 am
What looks like Apple's iPad Mini, but has better specs, is considerably cheaper, and runs a stock version of Android 5.0 Lollipop? The new Nokia N1 tablet, apparently. At just $250 with 32GB of storage — as opposed to the iPad Mini 3's base price of $400 for the 16GB model — the Nokia N1 is definitely priced to sell.
Why Android 5.0 Lollipop is already coming to phones and tablets November 13, 2014 at 4:33 pm
You use to be left waiting many months for an update, even on the newest phones. Why is the Lollipop rollout so much faster?
Nexus 9 review roundup: A premium-priced tablet that fails to deliver on multiple fronts November 4, 2014 at 8:46 am
The reviews for Google's latest Nexus tablet are in — and sadly, it seems the HTC-made Nexus 9 is continuing the trend that was initially set by the first big-screen 'Nexus' tablet, the Motorola Xoom. The Nexus 9 is good, but it's certainly no iPad killer — and for the premium price that it commands, it should be better.
Google's Nexus Player: Fourth time lucky in the living room, or just YASTB? October 16, 2014 at 1:05 pm
Along with the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9, Google has also released its umpteenth attempt at taking over your living room: the Nexus Player. Made by Asus and Google, this is technically the first device to run Android TV — a version of Android 5.0 Lollipop that has had its interface specially tailored for use on your TV. Outwardly, it would appear that the $100 Nexus Player is just YASTB that's months or years behind the competition — but who knows, maybe there's a method in Google's incessant living room madness?
Android 5.0 Lollipop: All the details and features of Google's sweetest treat yet October 16, 2014 at 11:30 am
Android 5.0 Lollipop has finally been fully unveiled, and it's looking incredible.
Google announces the Nexus 6: A phablet monster running Android 5.0 Lollipop October 15, 2014 at 2:00 pm
Google has taken the wraps off the Nexus 6, a six-inch smartphone (phablet) that is essentially an enlarged Moto X. It runs Android 5.0, which is now officially called Lollipop. It will be available to pre-order from October 29, and will appear in stores/on your doorstep in the first week of November. Pricing starts at $650 off-contract — or about twice what the Nexus 5 cost.
Nexus 9 tablet unveiled: 4:3 screen, 64-bit Tegra, Android 5.0, and no micro SD slot October 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Google has unveiled the Nexus 9, an HTC-made tablet that will run Android 5.0 Lollipop. Curiously, there's an 8.9-inch 2048×1536 display — 4:3 aspect ratio, rather than the customary 16:9 — and also BoomSound dual front-facing speakers. Inside the Nexus 9, of course, there's Nvidia's 64-bit Tegra K1 SoC. Pricing starts at $400 for the 16GB model, and it'll arrive in stores (in the US) starting November 3.
Android L 64-bit preview finally released – but only for x86. Where's ARMv8, Google? October 9, 2014 at 8:35 am
After announcing that Android L would support 64-bit hardware way back in June, Google has finally released a 64-bit Android L developer preview emulator image. Curiously, though, it's a 64-bit image for 64-bit Intel chips (Atom/Bay Trail) and not ARM. With Nvidia's 64-bit Tegra K1 supposedly just around the corner, but no tools for developers to actually create or prepare 64-bit ARMv8 apps, what exactly is going on?
Nexus 6 leaks: 5.9-inch Moto monster with 2560×1400 display, 3200 mAh battery September 30, 2014 at 10:18 am
It now seems likely that Google's next Nexus smartphone will be the Motorola-made Nexus 6. Yes, as the numeral indicates, this will be a 6-inch device (or 5.9 inches to be exact, according to some sources). A recent photo of the Nexus 6 (codenamed Shamu) suggests the phone will essentially be a scaled-up version of the new Moto X (and indeed, it might be called the Nexus X instead of the Nexus 6). The latest Nexus 6 leaks have pegged some particularly impressive hardware specs, including a 2560×1440 (QHD) display and a large 3,200+ mAh battery.

Midwest Research Institute Advances Algal Biofuels Research Utilizing Open and Closed Bioreactors
Through the Center for Integrated Algal Research, MRI is leveraging the Institute's expertise in biotechnology, chemistry, systems engineering and bioinformatics to provide government and industry with a broad range of integrated R&D services related to the use of algae in solving energy and environmental challenges. MRI's algae research and development efforts are focused in two core areas: developing biofuels and related products, and addressing carbon dioxide capture.
"Within the R&D industry, we are seeing the pace of algae research increase at a significant rate as we look for new ways to address energy and environmental challenges," said
MRI's open bioreactor system in
"Adding the raceway bioreactor represents a fundamental step in MRI's effort to establish a renewable fuel production system that integrates and automates algae growth, harvest, and oil extraction," said
MRI's closed loop photobioreactor in
By employing both systems, MRI will be better equipped to assist government and industry in maximizing the potential of algae for solving energy and environmental challenges. The Center's comprehensive focus includes characterization of preferred algal strains, growth optimization, contamination mitigation, harvesting methods, oil extraction, and carbon capture.

Though Luxury Tax Looms, Marlins' Spending Keeps Pace With Yankees'
By MURRAY CHASS
Published: January 5, 1997
Not surprisingly, the Yankees hold the early lead in the luxury tax race. With only 17 players signed, they have already exceeded the $51 million threshold that could trigger the new tax next season. But the Yankees were expected to be there. The Florida Marlins were not, and they are right there with the Yankees.
Following a flurry of expensive free-agent signings, the Marlins have already qualified for a visit from baseball's new tax man. Based on current payrolls, the Atlanta Braves, the Cleveland Indians and the Baltimore Orioles are the other top contenders for the maximum contingent of five teams that will pay a luxury tax in its first season.
With $5 million in benefits costs included, the Yankees already have a payroll of $52.8 million and are followed by the Marlins at $51.2 million, the Braves' $50.9 million, the Indians' $49.4 million and the Orioles' $49 million. Just behind that group are the Toronto Blue Jays at $46.6 million and the Chicago White Sox at $44.8 million.
Although the lawyers who are drafting the final language have not settled on all of the details of the key components of baseball's new collective bargaining agreement, the basics of the luxury tax have been established. In the first year of the new economic system, the teams with the highest payrolls -- up to a maximum of five teams -- will be assessed a 35 percent tax on the portions of their payrolls over $51 million.
Until now, payrolls were calculated based on players' salaries for that particular year. Now the tax mavens will use the average annual value of each player's contract. And instead of using the 25 players on the major league roster, plus those on the disabled list, as of Aug. 31, the payroll people will use a club's 40-man roster throughout the season.
If the new method had been in effect last year, the Marlins would have had a $36.7 million payroll, which would have been 16th among the 28 teams. But that was before Alex Fernandez, Moises Alou and Bobby Bonilla added nearly $18 million to the Marlins' mix. Their current total of $51.2 million is for only 16 players.
Fortunately for their treasury, the Marlins are not expected to have any high-priced players among the other 24. The only unsigned starters, the middle infielders Luis Castillo and Edgar Renteria and catcher Charles Johnson, are not eligible for salary arbitration.
Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter are not eligible either, but Bernie Williams is, meaning the Yankees can figure on adding more than $5 million to their payroll for their star center fielder, through arbitration or a negotiated contract. Last year, Williams won a $3 million salary in arbitration.
The Braves, whom the Marlins are trying to catch in the National League East, have signed only 11 players and face arbitration with Mark Wohlers, Javier Lopez and Ryan Klesko. The Indians, on the other hand, have signed virtually all of their front-line players and have no one eligible for arbitration among the 24 unsigned, younger players.
Mike Mussina's yet-to-be-determined salary will send the Orioles beyond the tax-triggering threshold. One of 27 unsigned Baltimore players, Mussina earned $4 million last season when he won 19 games.
The Texas Rangers are a team with a top-10 payroll that faces the addition of several sizeable salaries. With 13 players signed, the Rangers have a $39.4 million payroll, and they still must sign Ivan Rodriguez, Dean Palmer and Roger Pavlik, whose 1996 salaries totaled $7.25 million.
The White Sox, who have 11 signed players and a $44.8 million payroll, still must sign Roberto Hernandez and Wilson Alvarez, whose eligibility for salary arbitration will enable them to raise their combined $4.93 million income significantly.
Under the new system, the Yankees would have had a $66 million payroll last year. They will break $60 million this year, but do not figure to reach $66 million unless they trade for one or two high-salaried players during the season. They could, on the other hand, reduce their payroll by trading Cecil Fielder and the $7,237,500 average annual value of his contract.
No one wants to take on Fielder's contract, but the Yankees would be ahead of the tax game if they agreed to trade him and pay some portion of his salary. That average annual value plus 35 percent, an additional $2,533,125, would cost the Yankees just under $10 million.
Toronto included $5 million in its deal with the Mets to offset John Olerud's $6.5 million salary, but they will not be charged for the amount. Instead, Olerud's $6.5 million will be borne entirely by the Mets.
In effect, that kind of deal serves as a tax shelter for richer clubs. They can afford to pay part of a traded player's salary, and they get rid of the whole salary so it does not affect their tax standing. Next they'll be using cows.
Abbott Comes Up Short
This is what has happened to Jim Abbott since he rejected a four-year, $16 million contract from the California Angels four years ago:
The Angels traded him to the Yankees, who two years later made him a free agent by not offering him a contract. The Chicago White Sox signed him, then traded him to the Angels, who signed him as a free agent.

Children's LiteratureA hasty solution may often not be the right solution, as two of these little pigs learn. The three set out into the world and decide to build themselves homes. The first quickly grabs some straw and creates a shelter for himself. The second sees that that may not be a particularly sturdy structure so he uses sticks to build his home. The third little pig decides that he wants something that will truly hold up, so he uses bricks and mortar to construct his home. When a wolf is discovered in the area, the first two homes do indeed fail to provide the necessary security. The brick house and the cleverness of the third little pig, however, do stand up to the wolf's onslaught. It ends happily for all three.

Off the Clock: 'Unwind button' elusive for author, talk-show host Loretta McNary
Loretta McNary was a single mother of five sons and working as an administrative assistant for FedEx when she began writing a parenting column in a community newspaper.
After losing her 16-year-old son, Brandon, and her father in the same year, she escaped the pain by doing something creative.
The Memphis native's witty column got the attention of a local radio show host, who invited her on air.
McNary did so well that she launched her own radio show, which now airs on Internet radio on Blog Talk Radio. Soon, she was lining up guests for her own television talk show, "The Loretta McNary Show," which airs Thursdays on ION TV at 5 a.m. and Wednesdays on Comcast Cable Channel 17 at 8 p.m.
She's also a motivational speaker, author of "Faith for the Next Step" and founder of the nonprofit Pink Eagles, a leadership training for girls.
She recently returned from coverage of pre-Oscar events in Los Angeles, including interviewing stars at the Night of 100 Stars watch party at The Beverly Hills Hotel.
Family? Sons Marshall, 24; Nicholas, 22; Spencer, 18; and Jacob, 15.
Morning routine? I read my Bible. I say my prayers and I go straight into my yoga stretches. Then I take Jacob to school, come home, check e-mails, and on to the studio to my many meetings.
What object is always with you? My laptop. I'm always reading e-mails, because I get tons from people who watch the show and people who want to be on the show.
Best career moment? Interviewing Denzel Washington at the Image Awards in L.A. He was so humble.
Worst career moment? During a Chicago radio interview. When asked to name some of the most interesting people I've interviewed, I mentioned several names and then I said, "Gandhi." I meant to say the Dalai Lama. I'm used to interviewing, not being the interviewee. I am still embarrassed just thinking about it.
Inspiration behind what you're doing today? People look up to me, and that's what keeps me going.
What do you do to unwind? I am still trying to find the unwind button.
Something surprising to know about you? I am very shy and quiet when I am not working. My mom is still amazed how I went from being shy to speaking for a living.
Personal hero? My son, Brandon. He never quit anything he started, no matter what. He had to be home schooled because of his seizures, but he wanted to go to college. He just kept pushing.
The night before he died, he said to me I was going to be famous. He said, "You have to keep speaking and writing."

New York City, New York
My Rating
We were told by the tour operators that the tour would be in a coach (one level). In the event, it was conducted in a double-decker. My wife is now unable to manage the stairs, so we were confined to sitting on the lower deck. The lower deck windows are completely covered in adverts, so you can see nothing from there, except through the finely perforated black screen on which the adverts are printed (the only clear window on the lower deck is the driver's window!). The guide's commentary (audio from earbuds) was perfectly good, but since we could see next to nothing, the trip was just a disaster. I think the company is cheating to charge for such a tour and not warn customers in advance. In fact, it says little for the integrity of the company to allow such a policy to continue.

Jones' Stones in Pockets Extends to June 2002
Editorial Staff • West End • 1 Oct 2001
From modest beginnings, the Irish two-hander has become an international hit. Although the Broadway production was forced to close last month in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the number of productions around the globe hasn't slowed. Stones in His Pockets can now be seen in Australia, Argentina, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Turkey, South Africa and Italy, while a fresh tour of the United States will begin in early 2002.
Back in London, Kieran Creggan and Kieran Lagan currently star. They assume the roles of down-and-outs Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, as well as more than a dozen other characters, in the tale about what happens when a Hollywood film crew moves in on a small Irish village.
Stones in His Pockets started life at Belfast's Lyric Theatre in April 1999 before steamrolling on to success in Dublin and Edinburgh. It was first seen in London at the fringe Tricycle Theatre before transferring to the West End's New Ambassadors Theatre in May 2000 for a limited twelve-week season and then on to the larger Duke of York's for an open-ended run. In addition to Broadway where original stars Conleth Hill and Sean Campion opened in April 2001, international productions are now also showing in Australia, Israel, Uruguay, France and Mexico.
The play's many awards include the Whatsonstage.com, Olivier and Evening Standard awards for Best Comedy and a Special Achievement Award from the Outer Critics Circle in New York. Original star Conleth Hill has also been named best actor in the Irish Times, Olivier and Whatsonstage.com awards.
Stones in His Pockets is directed by the author's husband, Ian McElhinney, with design by Jack Kirwan and lighting by James C McFetridge. Marie Jones' new musical Weddings Weeuns and Wakes opens in Belfast – again at the Lyric Theatre – on 12 November 2001.

Friday Five: Songs About The Cold
Hopefully you've all escaped the various snowstorms of the past couple weeks unscathed. Here's a Friday Five guaranteed to lift your spirits: songs about freezing to death. Don't worry, folks; spring is just around the corner. (Thanks to Ken Morton, Jr. for the idea.)
- 5. "Crawl Through Snow" – O'Death
These Gothic Country Brooklynites are a little bit folk, a little bit punk. On this rockin' song from Broken Hymns, Limbs, and Skin, lead singer Greg Jamie is barely comprehensible as he sings about slowly freezing to death. But who expects a frozen guy to enunciate clearly anyway?
- 4. "Deep Water, Ice And Snow (Album Version)" – Don Edwards
Being a cowboy in the winter must really suck, especially when you have to move a thousand heads of cattle across a river in the dead of winter. Thanks to his horse, the narrator survives—many of his companions don't—but he's seen a version of hell that's "mighty cold."
- 3. "Wildfire" – Michael Martin Murphey
Murphey's biggest hit is a little—okay, a lot—cheesy, but don't act like you don't know all the words to this song about a girl and her pony, lost in a killing frost.
- 2. "Jacob's Dream" – Alison Krauss
This mournful tale about a pair of young boys who freeze to death in the mountains will make you long for a less depressing Krauss song, like "Whiskey Lullaby." The clip below features the songwriters, Julie Lee and John Pennell, discussing the inspiration behind the song. Though the story told in "Jacob's Dream" sounds like fiction, the tragedy of the Lost Children of the Alleghenies—and the farmer who dreamed of their location—is sadly true.
- 1. "The Blizzard" – Jim Reeves
This single (from Tall Tales and Short Tempers) went to #4 in 1961, which means a whole lot of folks dug a song about a guy who freezes to death a hundred yards from his sweetheart's house because he couldn't leave his lame horse. Scottish indie pop band Camera Obscura recently released a pretty excellent cover if you're into that sort of thing.

North Dakota…
Nice call on "Jacob's Dream!"
Cold Day in July by the Dixie Chicks= great song! Miss those ladies.
There are a lot more country songs about metaphorical coldness–from "Cold, Cold Heart" to "Too Cold at Home."
Right now my favorite weather related song is "Go F* You" by Hank III, but that's more of a personal statement directed at a specific storm than a song about weather in general.
Wish I had a snuggie now after listening to these 5 songs.
Glad to see Don Edwards in the list…..one of my all time favorites. If you like western music he is THE guy.
Regarding Jacob's Dream, I also thought of the excellent "California Snow" by Dave Alvin.
Wintertime Blues.. by John Hiatt.
"Well its a 1-2 my lips are turning blue..
It's a 3-4 I'm as stiff as Al Gore.."
The line about the suicide prevention hotline all running away is funny, too.
Vince Gill – Colder Than Winter (1984)
…strait's "chill of an early fall" and diffie's "is it cold in here" spring to mind, too
Dolly's "Me and Little Andy" The kid and the dog are caught outside on a "cold and stormy night" and end up at Dolly's door. she lets them in (lucky, lucky them!!) but die that night. (not so lucky…)

'Tis the season for oodles of Halloween candy, and these crafts made from candy wrappers offer a handful of perfect ideas to reuse the refuse from your child's seasonal sugar haul.
1. Whoppers Luggage Tag: Avid travelers will appreciate this luggage tag made of upcycled Whoppers wrappers. The tag is encased in a vinyl covering for durability, and its reverse side is bamboo poplin.
2. Candy Wrapper Purse With Zipper: This handheld purse is made entirely of candy and snack food wrappers. If you recreate this project at home, be sure to select your wrappers and weave them thoughtfully to personalize the clutch's pattern.
3. Chocolate Candy Wrapper Bookmarks: Candy and a novel go hand in hand, and these bookmarks let the two meet without fear of staining the pages. The trimmed, glued and laminated bookmarks help chocoholics remember their last fix as they churn through the latest paperback.
4. Dum Dum Candy Wrapper Earrings: This set contains three pairs of pierced earrings that have been wrapped with old Dum-Dum lollipop wrappers. The 1/2-inch earrings are a cute yet subtle way to reuse candy wrappers.
5. Candy Wrapper Dress: If you're feeling really ambitious, why not make an entire dress out of old candy wrappers, as this designer has done? The wrap dress has a cotton muslin base and fastens with a candy wrapper rosette.

If I have to hang around in a position that would allow me to retrieve the lob should my partner abort on her smash (basically backing her up), I will not be at the other service line. Instead, we will be in a ragged I formation, and half the court is open.
When we practice this, we focus on training the lobbee to make the call, 'cause that lob is her ball because it is going over her head. If the lobbee remains silent, the deep person should take this silence to mean the lobbee is going to hit a smash, so the deep person goes to the service line (if the lobbee wants help, she had better ask for it). If the mute lobbee does not play the smash, the ball will fall unplayed behind the lobbee and the pro will scold the lobbee.
Also, no lobs are supposed to bounce. If the lobbee says to switch in a timely fashion, the deep player -- who was on her way to the net -- is supposed to cross and take the lob out of the air as an approach volley.
Yeah, it's difficult and demanding, but you can kill people by playing this way.
My scenario involves lobs over a net team, meaning a lob that must be bounced.
I don't like the lobbee calling it. Often they don't know that can't hit an effective overhead until the last second. (They were premature.) The partner has a better angle of observation.
So, here's how it works. The lobbee starts to back up to hit an overhead. (This usually happens on the service line or closer. After the service line, you need a pretty decent overhead.) At about the service line the lobbee will know whether to overhead or not. The partner is shadowing (along side) the lobbee, waiting for the decision. If it's an overhead, the partner turns and goes to volley position. If a bounce condition, the lobbee switches and the partner makes the return.
Usually, if a team can lob over the head of another team so that they can't overhead it, that team will take up position at the net. An approach volley shouldn't be effective.
Up your backhand.

Four novels with nothing in common except storytelling done well.
Four novels with nothing in common except storytelling done well.
Girlchild [6], by Tupelo Hassman. Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
Despite unreliable—or worse—adults and generational scars, Rory Dawn finds small graces growing up in a Reno trailer park: an old Girl Scout handbook; flowers her mother coaxes from the desert soil; a school librarian's kindness. She threads her way to her grandmother's hope for her: "Someone's got to make it and it has to be you."
Nanjing Requiem: A Novel [7], by Ha Jin. Pantheon.
This fictional portrayal of the 1937 Japanese invasion of Nanjing, China, incorporates real history, including the story of Minnie Vautrin, an American missionary and the dean of Jinling Women's College. Vautrin helps shelter 10,000 people, who struggle for food and water and suffer assaults by Japanese forces. A harrowing story of brutality and sacrifice.
The Land of Decoration [8], by Grace McCleen. Henry Holt.
Judith McPherson, a lonely 10-year-old girl, lives with her widowed father and awaits the end of this world predicted by their fundamentalist sect. With candy wrappers and other discards, Judith creates another world in her room, the Land of Decoration. Then she discovers her seemingly God-given powers to make miracles happen, and chaos threatens.
Silver Sparrow [9], by Tayari Jones. Algonquin Books.
Out soon in paperback, this story is told from the perspective of the two teenage daughters of a bigamist—one from his "secret family" and one from his public one; one growing up knowing she's living in shadows and deception, the other unaware of the lies undergirding her life. A nuanced portrait of young women in extraordinary circumstances, their mothers, and their shared family members' complicity in deception.
