text: The Brynden Tully wiki last edited by Dragonborn_CT on 06/05/13 02:04AM View full history Brynden is Hoster Tully's younger brother. His title "Blackfish" started out as a insult given to him by his family for refusing to marrying a woman they had chosen for him. Rather than being offended, Brynden made the appellation his own and even adopted a black fish as his personal sigil. Veteran of many conflicts, Brynden serves as adviser and captain to King Robb Stark and invaluable asset to his forces.

The "check for update" option does not work inside Carrara. The Carrara page has no info about what the latest version is. And the store/my account does not identify the version either.
Is it too much to ask for a sticky in the forum listing the latest stable and beta versions, so we don't have to hunt for them or redownload the app to realize it's the same version? something simple would save hours:
Latest Carrara stable version: [#.#.# build#], updated on [date]

Oklahoma photographer Vernon Gowdy III keeps the focus on musicians
When he got a job at a Target in south Oklahoma City, he would get to open the albums and play them in the store in the music section. Soon Gowdy started putting out photographs he had taken at concerts and displaying them.
People would buy prints for $1 from him as he worked in the Target music section.
"When you're a college kid you do a lot of things that are against company policy."
He rekindled his career taking pictures of Robert Plant in 2006 at the Bricktown Coca-Cola Events Center after nearly two decades off.
"After about 15 minutes it all came back, and I was hooked again," Gowdy said.
He said he's always used two cameras to shoot concerts, one with a long-distance lens and another to focus on close-ups.
He has a wealth of stories about musicians.
Gowdy and Huff hadn't even put out an issue of JAM when they were kicked off of Tim Curry's tour bus for asking Curry too many questions about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," in September 1979. Curry wanted to talk about his own solo music career and distance himself from the character "Frankenfurter."
Huff said Curry went into an obscenity-laced tirade.
"He yanked my microphone out of my tape recorder," Huff said. "But of course it was still running."
Gowdy remembers using a Sears cassette recorder to interview Tom Petty in August 1979 at the Civic Center backstage. Then there was the U2 show at Jammys off N Portland Avenue when he didn't take any pictures because he wanted to party. Gowdy booked and promoted that show in 1982. The opening band was Fingers.
He said he still regrets not taking any photographs of U2 and he continues to look for someone who did that night.
He has also lost rolls of negatives of film from a Little Feat and a KISS concert in 1979. He's had several shots published in a book on Pat Benatar. There is still a rush out of seeing a photograph published and seeing his name in print, he said.
"You don't get rich off of doing this," Gowdy said. "You try to achieve a photograph that is of iconic status."
His Sammy Hagar photo was that iconic one.
"And now I'm going, 'How can I get another iconic shot?'"
Next up will be a Jimi Hendrix tribute show in Tulsa at the Brady Theater, he said. He'll have his cameras ready.

Wow, that sounds awesome! I was worried it would just be a small selection of songs in a cheap sleeve, like the Twilight Princess soundtrack I got as a Nintendo Power subscriber bonus years ago (7 songs. Seriously.)

Nothing is worse than the soundtrack that came with Super Mario All Stars Wii. Half of it was sound effects iirc.

I'll never understand why people get things only to never ever use them, I guess with the hope that they can sell them later? Sounds silly to me, I'd rather enjoy the item for what it is
I'm excited to get mine, TC. Nintendo e-mailed me yesterday saying it should be here in 4-10 days, glad to hear it's fully loaded
Currently Playing: MH3U, A Link Between Worlds, Black Mesa
Wow, I was not expecting the soundtrack to be that in-depth. Can't wait until mine comes in the mail.

Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez led the way through both MotoGP practice sessions to open the 2014 round at Silverstone. LCR Honda's Stefan Bradl trailed in second position followed by Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso. Temperatures were cool, spots of rain made it to the ground throughout the day and the wind was up at times, but riders were able to log plenty of dry laps in preparation for the improved conditions (according to forecasts) on Saturday.
"Today I felt good from the beginning," explained Marquez. "Silverstone is bit of a special track; there are many bumps and the temperatures are low, but we found a good base from the start and this helped us for the entire day. It is only Friday, but it is always important to start the weekend like this. For tomorrow we will try above all to improve how the bike absorbs the bumps, to go faster and take a small step forward."
This wasn't the case with #93's primary rivals, with teammate Dani Pedrosa pacing ninth and citing a lack of grip as contributing to his difficulties throughout the day. Movistar Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, both finishing outside the top-10, face similar issues as well.
"We only have one problem, it seems Bridgestone has brought the same tires that we had in the first races so we have the same problems as then," said Lorenzo. "We have no grip to stop the bike, no grip in the middle of the corner and no traction so we have a lot of spinning and the negative point is it creates problem on the front. No grip on the rear doesn't give us the balance in the middle of the corner which means we have to lean less and have lower speed. All the Yamaha riders are the same, we have similar problems. It seems that with this tire we have now it's very difficult for us. Of course we are going to try everything to solve this problem, we have to try to manage the situation, the tires will be the same all weekend so we have to adapt to it. It seems it's going to be a hard weekend for the Yamaha riders."
While the top-10 was dominated by Honda and Ducati, Tech 3's Bradley Smith proved an exception with a fourth-place finish. The British rider brought a nearly unchanged set-up from Brno and afterwards stated that grip levels were good for him and that his confidence was high. Ducati's Yonny Hernandez was fifth-fastest followed by Go & Fun Honda Gresini's Scott Redding in sixth. Redding finished on the top-step at the circuit last year in Moto2.
Pramac Racing's Andrea Iannone was seventh followed by Redding's teammate, Alvaro Bautista, in eighth. NGM Mobile Forward Racing's Aleix Espargaro rounded out the top-10.

Last Chance Foods: Use Kabocha for Pumpkin Pie and Kick the Canned Stuff
Friday, November 16, 2012
The crank of a can opener and the wet sound of suction — there's a distinctly "semi-homemade" quality to many pumpkin pie recipes. With Thanksgiving less than a week away, cookbook author Hiroko Shimbo recommends avoiding canned filling and using kabocha squash in pie instead.
"Kabocha has very dense pulp and the flavor is very, very sweet," said Shimbo about the squash, which has thin green skin and deep orange flesh. "So from that point of view, you can make very creamy, sweet pie filling." She added that the flavor of kabocha squash also includes echos of chestnut.
"Butternut squash is not as sweet and [it's] watery for use in pie or soup," said Shimbo. She explained that for soup she cooks the kabocha two hours in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. "Cooking preserves, or strengthens, the richness of the squash," she said.
Shimbo shared that recipe for kabocha squash soup (below) from her recently published cookbook, Hiroko's American Kitchen. Roasting the squash whole in the oven also makes the rock hard winter squash much easier to cut into pieces. Shimbo admitted that before she learned that trick, she often did dangerous battle with the tough kabocha and sharp knives.
Another advantage kabocha has over other winter squash is that its skin is edible. While Shimbo removes the green skin to preserve the orange color of pie filling and soup, she also often braises it skin-on, in homestyle Japanese dishes like adzuki beans and kabocha stew.
The common belief is that vitamin- and nutrient-rich kabocha helps ward off winter colds. In particular, it provides a valuable source of vitamin A, which can often be hard to find in seasonal winter vegetables.

We simmer [it until] tender just using the very Japanese dashi, or stock, and a little bit of sugar, and a little bit of soy sauce," said Shimbo.
That may be the traditional Japanese method of preparing kabocha, but the reality is that the Japanese squash is not native to the country at all. "Actually, the Portuguese brought the kabocha squash from Central America," said Shimbo.
Here's what Shimbo said to look for when picking out a kabocha: "It should weigh heavy, which means [the] pulp is just dense, very good condition. And also, the skin should not be fresh, green. It should be slightly dried because... storing the kabocha improves the sweetness."
Below, try her recipe for spiced kabocha soup.
Spiced Kabocha Squash Soup
by Hiroko Shimbo
from Hiroko's American Kitchen
This spicy, slightly sweet, and richly textured soup is a wonderful addition to a Thanksgiving meal, but its warming satisfaction can be enjoyed throughout the fall and winter. Kabocha squash is loaded with nutrients, so much so that in Japan there is a saying: "Eating kabocha on the first day of winter keeps you from catching a cold." Because uncooked kabocha squash can be difficult to cut, I bake the whole squash, wrapped in aluminum foil, in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours, until very tender.
Makes 4 servings
- 1 medium kabocha squash (2 to 3 pounds); substitute butternut squash
- 1 medium carrot (4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small leek, white part only (2 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces (2/3 cup)
- 4 cups kelp stock or low-sodium vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons ginger juice, from grated 2 thumb-size piece of ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tablespoons medium-aged light brown miso
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for finishing soup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse the kabocha squash and wrap it in aluminum foil. Put the squash in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the squash from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds with a spoon, removing as little pulp as possible. Scoop out the pulp into a large bowl and measure out 2 1/3 cups of cooked squash. Freeze any extra pulp for later use. Reserve 1/4 cup of the green skin, julienned, for garnish.
Place the carrot, leek, and stock in a medium pot, cover, and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Working in 3 to 4 batches, transfer the broth and cooked vegetables along with the pulp of the squash to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Transfer the first pureed batch to a clean pot and repeat the process. In the last batch, add the ginger juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, miso, salt and olive oil and process.
Before serving gently reheat the soup and divide it into soup bowls. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt into each bowl, garnish each bowl with the julienned green squash skin and pumpkin seeds, and serve.

I've been growing kabocha squash yearly for over 10 years, the 1st being a volunteer. Years later I saw them at my local produce supermart and determined what they were. The plants are lush and beautiful. I just brought in my harvest over the last week or so (it's late Sept.), some 135 lb. and there's another 25 lb. still hanging on outside, ripening. As long as kabochas are tethered by live stems to root systems, I let them remain outside. I gift them, consume regularly, and they overwinter nicely. I'll bookmark this page for recipes, didn't know they originated in the America's. Thanks for the page.
Amy, it sounds like you didn't listen to Leonard's excellent Globavores installment this week! From it, I learned that all squash and pumpkin originated in the Americas. So while squash isn't "native" to Japan, it's been there for centuries - just like the tomato in Italy and the potato in Ireland. ;) It makes sense that it was the Portuguese who introduced the vegetable to Japan - something else I learned about squash this week from WNYC!

The Chardonnay Symposium: afterthoughts
At the age of 3 years, The Chardonnay Symposium, held last Saturday at Byron Winery in the beautiful Santa Maria Valley, was the best, biggest, most successful yet. It was completely sold out–not a space left for my panel. In fact, the conversation among organizers now is, where does TCS go from here? It's no lie to say it's the most important Chardonnay public event in California. If you think about it, it's downright bizarre that there hasn't been an event celebrating Chardonnay before now. After all, Chard is the most popular wine in America.
My panel was awesome: Josh Klapper [La Fenetre, sitting in for Jenne Bonaccorsi, who had a death in the family), Bob Cabral (Williams Selyem), Dieter Cronje (Presqu'ile), James Hall (Patz & Hall), Eric Johnson (Talley), Heidi von der Mehden (Arrowood), Bill Wathan (Foxen) and Graham Weerts (Stonestreet). They really got to the root of the topic: How to preserve the terroir of a great Chardonnay vineyard while applying so many winemaker interventions, like oak.
One of the winemakers on my panel — I think it was Dieter [LATER CORRECTION: IT WAS JOSH KLAPPER] — made this analogy: you can take Wonder Bread, white, bland, tasteless, and spread it with good butter, and you'll get the taste of the butter, but very little else because the Wonder Bread has no flavor. On the other hand, you can take a really great homemade bread, filled with fabulous goodness and flavor, spread the same butter on it, and you'll still get the butter but also so much more. Oak is like the butter: Put it on a bland wine, and all you get is oak. Put it on a great Chardonnay, and you get the deliciousness of the butter plus the complexity of the fruit. The resulting wine is all the better for the butter.
I think the conclusion was that things like barrel fermentation and the malolactic fermentation actually enhance terroir. At any rate, the wines spoke for themselves.
One of the topics of conversation between the event's organizers, participating wineries and me that arose repeatedly was, Why is it that younger people seem not to accept Chardonnay, or don't like it very much, or don't seem to be buying it? I heard this from so many people that I assume it's true (after all, they're closer to the wholesale/retail market than I am). Here's what I told them, which is just a theory, because I don't have any survey results or anything like that. I think people from, say, 18-early 30s who do like to drink alcoholic beverages don't want to drink their parents' wine. They want to do their own thing, and they don't want to feel or look old-fashioned or anachronistic. This helps to account for the explosion of all these fancy, infused (and often weird) cocktails lately as well as all these obscure wines from foreign countries. Dad didn't drink those things, but he did drink Chardonnay. When you're 27, you don't want do what Dad did, you want to do something he didn't.
I understand that. That's part of being young and finding your own tastes in life. But here's what I say to Gen X and Y: don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! Chardonnay from France has been celebrated as one of the great white wines in the world for 400 or 500 years, maybe longer, in the form of white Burgundy, mainly from the Cotes de Beaune and Chablis. Multiple generations of humankind have declared Chardonnay's greatness. So, to the extent that 27 year old says "I won't drink Chardonnay because my mother likes it," he's cutting off his nose to spite his face–missing out on one of the most delicious white wines on earth, and certainly the richest dry table wine you can buy at affordable prices. When that 27 year old is 37, or 47, he'll realize why the world has coveted this grape and wine for so long.
How to taste? Let me count the ways
There are as many different ways to taste wine as there are to roast a chicken, and, like roasting a chicken, every taster will have his or her favorite approach.
And I'm not even talking about the single blind-double blind-open thing. I'm talking about the specific wines you include in your flight. A "flight" is, of course, the wines to be tasted on that occasion. It can have any number of wines in it. I'm comfortable with a daily flight of fifteen, more or less.
I've said and written before that my preferred method of tasting is in peer groups of similar wines, but what does that mean? In theory, it could mean any of several things. A classic arrangement would be all the First Growth Bordeaux and their equivalents [let's say eight in all], with some Super-Seconds.
A classic equivalent in California might be a flight of the top red wines of a region in Napa Valley such as Eastern Oakville or Pritchard Hill or even a larger area, like the Stags Leap District. That would be comparing apples to apples.
Another version of a classic flight might be tasting all of the 18 or so Pinot Noirs Bob Cabral makes every year at Williams Selyem. But he once told me he'd rather I review his wines by appellation, so that, for instance, I'd taste his Russian River Valley Pinots against other RRV Pinots not from Williams Selyem.
These are all examples of classic flights, but unfortunately, it's not always possible to arrange a classic tasting due to functional realities. That means I might taste 15 Cabernets in a flight, but they might be from all over Napa Valley–maybe even one or two from Sonoma County, the Santa Cruz Mountains and even the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara. That's un-"classic," but it does have the upside of directly comparing a Happy Canyon Cabernet to an Oakville Cabernet. Maybe it performs favorably. Yay for Happy Canyon!
Every once in a while I like to shake things up with a wacko flight. I'll do, say, two Petite Sirahs, two Cabernets, a Merlot, a Petit Verdot, a Syrah, a Barbera, two Pinot Noirs, two Sangioveses, an off-beat blend of Tempranillo, Merlot and Petit Sirah from Paso Robles, and a Zinfandel. I can see some of you shaking your heads. WTF? But listen to me, this can be really cool.
For one thing, since it's blind, you have the instructive pleasure of trying to determine what each wine is. You can't do that if you know you're tasting all Oakville Cabernets. In the wacko flight, you have to concentrate hard. Some of these California Pinots are big, dark, extracted wines, so peppery and meaty, they're easy to confuse with Syrah or Grenache. Zinfandel or Cabernet? At 15.4%, it can be hard to tell the difference. But what I like best about the wacko approach is that, since you don't even know what the variety is, you might award a wine a very good score even if it's bizarrely atypical of its region and variety.
Still and all, I think the best way to go is with flights of peer groups.
I'm off to Santa Barbara now for The Chardonnay Symposium and my great panel on terroir. I'm sure I'll have plenty of good stuff to report on. Meanwhile, have a great weekend, no matter where you are.
The Chardonnay Symposium: 8 days and counting…
There may still be time to get a ticket for my panel at next Saturday's (June 30) Chardonnay Symposium.
Last year the topic was the role of oak in Chardonnay–which turned out to be more interesting than I initially thought it would be. This year, I chose the topic: how does the winemaker preserve "terroir" in a grape and wine that is usually so heavily manipulated? When you think of all the things winemakers do to Chardonnay–barrel fermenting it, stirring it on the lees, putting it through the malolactic fermentation, exposing it to varying degrees of oxidation, and on an on–what happens to all that terroir that was born in the grape?
A reporter for another magazine called me yesterday because she's writing somethng up on the Symposium (now in its third year) and was shopping for quotes. She asked me if Chardonnay wine shows greater terroir than other varieties. "Good question!" I replied, which are two words a reporter loves to hear from an interviewee. Usually, people say that Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sangiovese reflect their terroir more purely or transparently than other varieties. Chardonnay is often referred to as a wine so neutral (i.e. non-terroir driven) that it needs winemaker bells and whistles in order to taste good.
Well, of course, that's nonsense, as anyone who knows anything about Grand Cru Chablis or Montrachet understands. Here in California, we have our "grand cru" Chardonnays (you'll pardon the expression), and I tried to round up panel members who work grand cru vineyards. They are:
Jenne Bonaccorsi – Bonaccorsi, Santa Rita Hills
Bob Cabral – Williams Selyem, Russian River Valley
Dieter Conje – Presqu'ile, Santa Maria Valley
James Hall – Patz & Hall, Carneros Valley
Eric Johnson – Talley, Arroyo Grande and Edna Valley
Heidi von der Mehden – Arrowood, Sonoma Valley
Bill Wathan – Foxen, Santa Maria Valley
Graham Weerts – Stonestreet, Alexander Valley
A pretty impressive crew, I think you'd agree. I told the reporter that there are certain noble grape varieties in the world, and when these grapes are grown to the highest standards and vinified accordingly, they all show terroir, including Chardonnay. Pinot Grigio is not a noble variety (at least, not in California) and thus you don't expect to find "terroir" in a $15 PG. You expect freshness, crispness, cleanliness, fruit, etc., but not some eye-opening expression of the site where the grapes were grown.
Each of my winemakers will pour one wine, from a single vineyard, and tell us about the natural terroir, what he or she did in bringing up the wine, and then describe how the natural terroir still shines through. (Well, the one and only Dieter Conje is pouring two wines, but he has a very specific point he wants to make.) Perhaps some of the winemakers will say they believe they actually enhanced the expression of terroir through their interventions, the way, say, Professor Henry Higgins brought out the "real" Eliza Doolittle. Was Eliza more or less "Eliza" before the Professor taught her to speak correctly, dress and behave like a lady and be, well, more attractive to men? In some sense, she was more Eliza when she was an unkempt street urchin selling flowers from the gutter. Did she become "inauthentic" when she was transformed into "My Fair Lady"?
This is an idiotic question, one for metaphysicians to waste their time on. However, in the case of Chardonnay (and especially considering the question of oak), it is decidedly not idiotic; and to Chardonnay lovers, it's the stuff of grand debate. I hope to see you at the Symposium.
In Pursuit of Balance: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
The buzz at yesterday's second annual In Pursuit of Balance tasting was all about low alcohol, as in below 14%. Vintners were excited about the 2011s, still in barrel. David Hirsch told me some of his lots clocked in at 13.1%, low even for Hirsch Vineyard. "And what do they taste like?" I asked. David just smiled and said "Fabulous." Unfortunately the '11s won't begin to come out for at least 18 months or so, so we'll just have to wait. But in the meanwhile we can savor the 2010s, another cool vintage that offers tantalizing hints of yet to come.
Jon Bonné, the San Francisco Chronicle's veteran wine writer (he's now been around long enough to merit the v-word) was there. I congratulated him on his column, from Sunday, in which he officially blessed the cool 2009, 2010 and 2011 vintages, writing that they "proved the virtues of restraint." It was interesting that he made a comparison between 2011–so much cold and rain and, in some cases, mold–and 1998, a vintage universally panned here in California for much the same reasons. However I know a lot of people who say the '98s were better than originally portrayed, and are in fact aging well. As if in proof, at In Pursuit of Balance Josh Jensen had a bottle of his Calera 1998 Pinot Noir (I forget which vineyard from his estate on Mount Harlan; sorry. Reed?) that he particularly wanted me to try because of the vintage's evil reputation. It smelled and tasted just fine, a wine of purity, elegance and harmony, and still fresh in fruit. So next time somebody says a vintage sucked, don't believe them (unless it's me!).
I won't remark on individual Pinots I tasted, because my formal reviews will be appearing in Wine Enthusiast.
I have a big Chardonnay article coming up, so I was also interested in tasting as many Chards as I could, determined to get to the bottom of what makes for balance in that variety. The thing that fascinates me is how some Chardonnays taste too oaky even if the amount of new oak isn't particularly high. Vice versa, too: some 100% new oak Chards are balanced. Lots of this is dependent on the base wine, of course: a big, fruity Chardonnay can take more oak than a thinner one. Still, I don't think there's any one right answer. Some vintners–Adam Tolmach, at Ojai–have largely moved away from new French oak because they prefer to let the fruit talk about the terroir. Others aren't afraid of new oak and love it. Emmanuel Kemiji, M.S., whom I knew when he was sommelier at the Ritz Carlton San Francisco and who now owns the fine brand, Miura, lavished 50% new French oak and 50% one-year old barrels on his 2009 Chardonnay, from the Talley Vineyard. I love Ojai Chardonnays and I loved that Miura. But, as Kemiji pointed out, if he didn't have grapes from Talley, with all that natural stone fruit and acidity, that much oak would be too much.
Terroir vs. intervention: the case of Chardonnay
I'm going to be moderating a panel at The Chardonnay Symposium next June 30. They asked me to pick my topic and after long thought I came up with this:
Given that Chardonnay is, by all accounts, a neutral grape, how do you preserve or express terroir under all that winemaker influence [barrel fermentation, malolactic fermentation, sur lies, barrel aging, etc.]?
I've heard that "Chardonnay is a neutral grape" almost ever since I started writing about wine. Wikipedia (which is blacked out as I write this to protest pending anti-piracy bills in the Congress) says "The Chardonnay grape itself is very neutral." By "neutral" I always figured people meant that the grape and the wine made from it is somewhat linear, being neither strong in flavor nor spicy the way, say, Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc or, especially, Gewurztraminer and Riesling can have strong aromas and flavors.
It was a sentiment I accepted, because so many smart people said so, until the unoaked Chardonnay phenomenon began, and I found myself tasting Chardonnays that had never seen a splinter of wood that were magnificently rich and layered. Well, you might argue, they still might have been manipulated, with malolactic fermentation and sur lies aging adding things that never came from the grape. And you'd be right.
Yet of all the white wine grapes in the world, save possibly Riesling, experts say Chardonnay most reflects its terroir! Hence my topic idea. What the heck does it mean that Chardonnay displays terroir, when the winemaker has interfered so thoroughly in its manufacture? And I use the word "manufacture" deliberately.
We come here to the concept of lines. By that I mean, there must be a line between one form of winemaker intervention that smothers terroir, versus another that helps express it. But where is that line? And in asking this question, are we engaging in rhetorical flourishes when we get into these angels-dancing-on-pinhead metaphysics? So let me rephrase the question this way: Given that Chardonnay expresses terroir, what can the winemaker do to enhance that terroir–to sharpen its profile to make it more interesting and attractive to the wine drinker?
Well, each question leads to another, creating the risk of an infinite regress. Why do we not say that the most terroir-driven Chardonnays of all must necessarily be entirely unmanipulated? I suppose there are Chablisians who would take that position. So might Greg Brewer, who describes his approach to the grape at Diatom this way:
The challenge is to subtract all extraneous elements to arrive at the utmost level of simplicity, serenity and refinement. In order to maintain this desired purity, fermentation is carried out at a very cold temperature in neutral vessels to retain the most primary attributes of the fruit. Furthermore, malo-lactic is inhibited to avoid the distraction of that secondary level of evolution. The resultant wine is then aged on its non-disturbed lees for health and protection, and removed just before there is any risk of autolysis which could impart nondesirable yeast-like characteristics into the wine.
Great word, "subtract." I'd call it "not add." Yet Mr. Brewer remains very much in the minority in the Chardonnay world, where heavy winemaker intervention, including charred oak barrels, lees aging and the malolactic, remains the norm. So, once again, how do we reconcile this notion of "neutral Chardonnay" with "terroir" and all that manipulation?
I don't know the answer, but it's a great topic, and we're going to have a great time knocking it around at my panel. I can guarantee we'll have 8 or 9 fantastic winemaker speakers, tons of great food, and some surprises too. The Chardonnay Symposium, which will be in its third year this June, is growing by leaps and bounds, and is set to become the premier Chardonnay event in the country, if it isn't already. I hope to see you there.

If zombies ate a person and literally all that was left was the brain which the zombies couldn't get to through the skull, that brain would be an active walker brain with no body to control.
And to address a few misconceptions relating to zombies I'd suggest checking out the early Romero moves this series is based on, to clear up a few points;
* Anyone who dies through any means will reanimate as a zombie unless there has been brain trauma.
* Being bitten by a zombie doesn't give you the 'zombie virus', but it will lead to death due to infection which cannot be treated (aside from immediate amputation), it is this death which leads to the inevitable reanimation.
* Zombies behavior is controlled by instinct and they have a drive to eat, but the food they swallow is not in any way processed by their body, which is dead and doesn't have working digestion etc. You can remove a zombies stomach and it will still eat, with the chewed up food falling out onto the floor, this would not lead to a quicker decomposition.
* It is unknown whether zombies continue to decompose or at what rate, they do become damaged over time though as their bodies cannot heal as they are dead.
* Most importantly, nobody knows why everyone reanimates and they never will. The zombie plague isn't an important part of the story, it is a plot device to justify an apocalypse in a horror setting. The story is always focused on the characters and how they react to the situation.

Samsung Electronics will pull the plug on its video storefront for smart TVs and mobile devices on Aug. 1, marking its full exit from the digital-media business, while the company also said it has exciting new video products" in the works.
The consumer-electronics giant stopped letting customers purchase or rent video from its Samsung Video and Media Hub on July 1, according to an announcement on the company's website. The service competed with other electronic sell-through services like Apple's iTunes and Amazon Instant Video.
M-Go, a joint venture of DreamWorks Animation and Technicolor, to let customers transfer content purchased (but not rented) through the service to M-Go. Customers who transfer their accounts to M-Go will receive a $5 credit and 50% off their next two movie rentals, for a total maximum value of up to $13.
The move to discontinue the movie and TV show service -- which offered titles from major studios and networks including Disney, Paramount and NBCUniversal -- comes after Samsung shut down its music service, effective July 1, and in May ended its e-book service, shifting customers to an app for Amazon's Kindle.
Reps for Samsung did not respond to requests for comment.
In the notice on its website, Samsung said it is shutting down the Video and Music Hub "as we focus on some exciting new video products."
"Samsung strives to deliver great content experiences on Galaxy mobile devices and Samsung Smart TVs and we're constantly working to make those experiences unique and enriching for our consumers," the company's notice to customers said.
The Samsung video service allowed customers to access movies and TV shows on up to five devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets and Samsung Smart TVs. The company noted that users will be able to access other third-party video services, such as Netflix, Hulu and Walmart's Vudu, on its devices.
Samsung's shutdown of the video service and deal with M-Go was reported earlier by Re/code.

Stuff for Sprouts
In the meantime I'm going to buy a few for my littlest guy. He inherited mama's dry skin and when you suck your thumb at night things get ugly. The little lip balm case is so easy to open and it's flat, so it's not rolling anywhere. Thank goodness, I've lost enough tube-ey shaped dry skin products. It smells like food so the little tank doesn't mind me slathering him in it.

The Sicilian Defence features many dramatic variations, but for sheer violence, few can equal the Sveshnikov. Black aims for maximum piece activity at the cost of a shattered pawn structure. Black's aim is to seize the initiative, regardless of the cost. If he is successful, then the pawns will look after themselves. On the other hand, white is looking to use black's weaknesses as spring-boards for a ferocious attack of his own.

New Ideas in the Sveshnikov Sicilian
A Modern Guide to An Aggressive Chess Opening
Grandmaster Bogdan Lilac provides a complete repertoire with the aggressive Grunfeld Defense, based around complete illustrative games. The Grunfeld has been a favorite of World Champions Fischer and Kasparov, and its young contemporary adherents include Vishwanathan Anand and Peter Leko.
The Grunfeld for the Attacking Player
Shock Your Opponents with the Four Pawns Attack!
It seems unfair that Black gets all the attacking chances in the normal lines of the King's Indian. Readers can now take a tip from the World's leading expert of sharp systems and shock their opponent with the Four Pawn Attack! Black has countless ways to go wrong, while White is risking little if well-prepared. Vaisser's hitherto unpublished analysis will give readers the edge they need to send Black's King to the guillotine.
Beating the King's Indian and Benoni
This is White's fianchetto against the King's Indian Defense 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3. An ideal choice for those who want to deny King's Indian players their usual attacking plans. White's harmonious scheme of development, envisaging strong pressure against Black's queenside, has appealed to many of the all-time greats - Alekhine, Botvinnik, Karpov, and Kasparov.
The Fianchetto King's Indian
A new generation of Russian players has renovated this opening to make it a fully respectable member of the modern openings. This book provides complete coverage of this lively counter-attacking system, and shows how difficult it is for White to handle without careful preparation.
The Chigorin's Queen's Gambit
This book focuses on the King's Indian variations that have undergone the most dramatic change in the 1990's: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0. The system with ..Na6 receives full coverage, together with the traditional main lines of 7..Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 followed by Ne1 or Nd2.
The New Classical King's Indian
Understanding an opening is more important the knowing a mass of variations. For no opening is this more true than for the Spanish. The most famous of chess openings leads to a deep strategic maneuvering battle. Experienced GM's seem almost clairvoyant when handling the positions. It is not a sixth sense, but a knowledge of the typical maneuvers and themes that enable them to have their pieces where they need them, when they need them. This book provides a complete course in helping the reader to understand those themes.
Understanding the Spanish
The English Opening is currently enjoying an increase in popularity and was featured regularly in the last World Championship match. 1..c5 is Black's most solid reply and theory has developed rapidly over the modern times. This is the first comprehensive coverage of the symmetrical variation in Algebraic notation and contains all significant developments since the author's earlier work "English .. P-QB4".
Symmetrical English 1... c5
Hypermodern chess strategy was the single most devastating innovation of the 20th century chess thought. Fueled by such towering figures as Aron Nimzowitsch and Richard Reti, hypermodern ideas forced their way into prominence and blazed the trail for the dynamic adoption by the Soviet chess school of defences such as the King's Indian and the Grunfeld. With both of these championed by Garry Kasparov, arguably the greatest player of all time, it is clear that hypermodern openings and defences are still setting the agenda in the 21st century.

Winning with the Hypermodern
All successful players, from Grandmasters all the way down to club players, rely on an opening repertoire which is designed to produce the type of position that suits their style of play. This book is written for the kind of player who revels in complex tactical positions and who wants to attack from the word 'go'.

An Opening Repertoire for the Attacking Player
202 Openings Designed to Instruct Players of All Levels, Written by America's Leading Chess Writer
In the first completely instructional book ever written on chess openings, National Master Bruce Pandolfini teaches players how to take charge of the game's crucial opening phase.
Chess Opening - Traps and Zaps - VOLUME 1
200 Brand-New Openings for Players of All Levels
The opening is one of the most important parts of the chess game. Weaken your pawns by mistake, and they're taken. Attack wildly and haphazzardly, and your pieces are picked off. Misuse your queen and she's trapped. Carelessly neglect development and you're mated. You've scarely begun, and the game is over. Fortunately, National Master Bruce Pandolfin's More Chess Openings: Traps and Zaps 2, offers drills and skills to help players of all levels avoid these perils and pitfalls.
More Chess Openings - Traps and Zaps - VOLUME 2
This modern variation goes 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e6 5.Nc3 a6. It deals with all of the plans that both White and Black can choose. The author gives many suggestions for new lines of exploration, and gives exceptionally clear explanations of the basic strategies of the system. There are a number of illustratives games which show how the Taimanov strategies carry through to the middlegame and which will give you a genuine understanding of the system.

Sicilian - Taimanov
The Sicilian Bb5 is the most popular and successful Anti-Sicilian variation. Vassily Ivanchuk used it to score a stunning win against Gary Kasparov at Linares in 1991. This book provides full coverage of both 2...d6 3. Bb5+ and 2...Nc6 3.Bb5. It shows you how to implement in your own games the ideas that have worked so successfully at the highest level.
Sicilian Bb5 Revealed
The Sveshnikov Sicilian is arguably the most dynamic line in the whole of the Sicilian Defence. Black takes on certain structural weaknesses but gains active piece play as compensation, which is very much in keeping with the modern style of play. Black is not content to equalize but from the very startsets out to wrest the advantage from his opponent's hands.
The Sveshnikov Sicilian
A Dynamic Weapon Against the Sicilian
In this completely revised second edition, the author probes the secrets of this gambit with tactical acuity and strategic objectivity. He concludes that "Most of Black's defensive systems objectively offer acceptable prospects in a complicated battle. Nevertheless, I can promise that every talented attacking player who studies the Morra Gambit will achieve excellent practical results. The positions that arise are extremely difficult to play, especially if the defender is not familiar with them.
The Modern Morra Gambit
The world's oldest opening variation, 3...Qd8 in the Scandinavian Defense, has resurfaced in the last decade to give players at all levels a winning edge. Whether you prefer a sharp tactical game or slower positional maneuvering, the 3...Qd8 Scandinavian provides a genuine alternative for club players and grandmasters seeking to play for a win from the outset.
The 3... Qd8 Scandinavian - Simple and Strong
The Solid Rubinstein Variation
This book is an eye-opener, and even top grandmasters might find that they have underestimated Black's resources in important positions…The average tournament and online player will appreciate Langrock's straightforward, no-nonsense style. He keeps the complexity of the analysis within bounds, and highlights relevant details without drifting into obscure page-long analytical byways. General themes are clearly presented within the context of illustrative games…The result is a book that covers a broad swath of material in a modest number of pages. I'm sure that you will be well-rewarded for its study, and come out with a useful new weapon in your chess arsenal." From International Master John Watson's Foreword
French Defense
The Definitive Guide to Fischer and Kasparov's Favorite Chess Opening
The Najdorf Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6) is the most important, popular, and talked about opening in chess. Its name is synonymous with such luminaries as Tal, Fischer, and Kasparov.
The Complete Najdorf 6. Bg5
In 1998 a slim volume by IM John Donaldson explored the crafting of a sophisticated but easily assimilated group of interrelated opening strategies intending to establish small but lasting advantages. The result, A Strategic Opening Repertoire was an instant success. Now this second edition, revised by Danish FM Carsten Hansen with the assistance of John Donaldson, is greatly expanded - twice the size, with many more games and detailed explanations.

More than five weeks after James Duckett was found brutally murdered in an execution- style manner at his home on Rockbridge Road, his killer remains on the loose.
Police have appealed to the public and offered a reward to help locate the killer, but so far, no useful information has surfaced.
But admittedly, the public has had precious little information to go by.
Duckett's death sometime before Nov. 10 remains a curious web of minimal information and wild public rumor about a type of crime seldom seen in Shelby County.
Local electrical workers are citing safety concerns as the reason they have voted to be represented by a labor union.

The chief executives from the nation's three largest automakers left Washington on Thursday empty-handed after spending three days pleading for a $25 billion bailout.
With no government assistance, the companies and millions of U.S. jobs are in question, including close to 400 jobs here in Shelby County.
The leaders of Ford, GM and Chrysler came before a Senate panel this week asking for funds to help the companies stay solvent during the current economic crisis.
2008 has been a bear for local industries.
By the end of the year, more than 10 percent of the industrial jobs that were here in January will have been gobbled up by economic issues that have plagued local employers.
Shelby County began the year with nearly 5,400 industrial jobs, but by the end of December, 568 of those will be no more.
And that's assuming that no more cuts are announced between now and then. Most recently announced were cutbacks at Leggett & Platt in Simpsonville, which will let 85 people go by December.
Even with the country officially in a recession, two large annual charitable events that feed the needy will help ensure that most people in Shelby County will not go hungry on Christmas Day.
Christmas at Claudia's and the Annual Community Christmas Dinner at the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency will be held Dec. 21 and Dec. 25, respectively.
Time to grab your coats and watch some floats.
The Shelby County Christmas Parade will take place this Saturday at 10 a.m. along Main Street. There is no fee to enter the parade, and all Shelby County organizations and businesses can register a float or group up until Friday.
Charlie Kramer was selected to be Grand Marshall of the parade. Kramer has been the Shelby County Tourism Director for 16 years and lives in Simpsonville. He said being selected Grand Marshall is something he never imagined.
Next month the Shelby County Public School System is hoping to start construction on a new $40 million school building.
That much is certain.
But the grade-level of the students who initially go to school there when it opens in 2010 might be changing.
This Thursday night the Shelby County School Board will consider forming a Transition Planning Committee for the proposed secondary school building.
Police are asking for the public's help in locating a teenaged girl who has been missing from her home in Shelbyville since Thursday.
Amber Dawn McKinney, 16, was last seen leaving her home on Jonathan Circle on Thursday morning to go to school, according to Shelbyville Police.
The 15 students sitting in the jury box listened to a mock trial in the Shelby circuit court room Monday night. In the future, the cases will be real and the defendants will be one of their peers.

I was dubious about trying the update as it might not work with the changed ROMS we use. Also, if the kernel file has changed then we already have had problems and needed to add the specific kernel file in the past. All except one version of ROM, the Fish N Chips ROM R2 for the Crescent. So it was I decided to give it a go and perhaps add the updated kernel file separately when its available in zip format like the one we use now. This is what I did on my SFII;
Downloaded the Windows installer from ZTE
Run the update.exe and installed
Run the desktop icon for the updater program itself
It needed FTM mode and mine is rooted and uses CWM Restore when the Vol down and power is pressed. So I unmounted the MicroSD Card, took it out and put the original Orange ROM on the SD Root and placed it back into the phone. Disconnected the USB lead. Restarted the phone in CWM (restore mode). Wiped factory data, wiped the cache, wiped the Dalvik cache in advanced. Installed the standard Orange ROM and at completion I rebooted the system (phone). Skipped through all settings after the phone rebooted (pointless setting them as I needed to replace the ROM again), turned it off. Restarted the phone with VOL down pressed and got into FTM mode.
Reconnected the USB lead. Started the ZTE Skate Handset Software Update Tool. Waited approx 30 mins for the new software update to be downloaded, updated and completed. Started the phone then needed to put CWM (restore) back on to change the ROM. To do this I needed to root the phone again, as follows;
Ran all of the following from http://android.modac...d-now-complete/ The middle box only slowly and logically, checking for spelling mistakes and typos;
Only error luckilly was my machine saying something about a drive being empty, it did this a few times and I pressed cancel each time. This may have something to do with a user stating he had to unmount a drive after plugging in the USB cable, so that ADB would run. See http://android.modac...ng-adb-to-work/ for reference, only a guess but cancel worked for me on the SFII anyway.
Once I had CWM (restore) back I once again wiped factory data, cache, Dalvik cache, flashed the Fish N Chips R2 ROM as this has the exact files necessary for the SFII without adding a separate kernel file. Something I wanted to avoid for now as its alledged the kernel file has changed. I guess this will be available seperately soon. Then we can apply it after the ROM change and have the updated kernel file.
I changed my boot animation after this, back to the one I had before the update. Finally back into the Fish N Chips/Nemus R2 ROM. Added Titanium Backup and put all my apps/data back on. Will test over the next few days.
Unless you`re willing to "risk it for a biscuit" I`d leave this a little while till others try it out who know how all the bits n pieces work (not me). Then when its more mainstream and ready to use go for it. If your phone is unrooted then no problems. If it is rooted either exercise some restraint or take the chance it will work with your ROM of choice. Will you take the Red pill or the blue pill? No black pills left.

Djokovic, Dimitrov Headline Tuesday Action
Indian Wells, U.S.A.
by Staff|
World No. 2 Novak Djokovic headlines Tuesday's action at the BNP Paribas Open as the bottom half of the draw takes centre stage. The Serb, who is one of eight seeds taking to court today, goes up against Alejandro Gonzalez for the first time. The Colombian arrived in Indian Wells with an 0-6 career record on the ATP World Tour, but has since posted back-to-back victories – both in third-set tie-breakers – over Adrian Mannarino and Ivan Dodig to reach the third round.
John Isner, the last American left standing in the draw, will look to reach the fourth round in Indian Wells for the fourth time in his career when he takes on world No. 49 Yen-Hsun Lu. The pair has met twice before, with the American prevailing on both occasions, including in the Auckland final at the beginning of the year, which Isner clinched in two tie-break sets. The World No. 13's best showing here came in 2012 when he reached the final (l. to Federer).

The Bulgarian and Latvian clash for the third time in a month on Stadium 1 today with their FedEx Head2Head series tied at 1-1. The pair both reached personal landmarks last month, breaking into the Top 20 in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time. Dimitrov achieved the feat thanks to a quarter-final appearance at the Australian Open (l. to Nadal) and a title-winning run in Acapulco (d. No. 7 Murray and No. 21 Anderson), while Gulbis broke through to No. 18 after clinching a fifth career title in Marseille (d. Tsonga), before dropping back to No. 22 this week.
Dominic Thiem, who is contesting his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event, will bid for a place in the fourth round when he takes on Julien Benneteau. The 20 year old has qualified into four tour-level events this year, breaking into the Top 100 in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time last month at No. 99. The Austrian enjoyed a standout year in 2013, reaching a maiden quarter-final in Kitzbuhel and a second in Vienna, before becoming the youngest player to finish the year ranked in the Top 125. His coach, Gunter Bresnik, also works closely with Gulbis.
Three of this season's highest performers on serve are in action today. Isner, Cilic and Gulbis all feature among the top five ace leaders in 2014 going into this week (see chart). Isner also sits top of the standings for first serve percentage (71%); Cilic is third in first serve points won (81%); while Gulbis managed to win 100% of points behind his first serve in his opening match against Joao Sousa.

DAY 6 Selected FEDEX ATP HEAD 2 HEADS
Alejandro Gonzalez (COL) vs [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB)

New York, NY —
The Bloomberg administration has released a report that recommends a major overhaul of the city's 21 vocational schools. It says technical schools haven't been meeting industry demands for highly skilled employees, and have been seen as a dead end by students.
The report's recommendations include: integrating academics with internships and hands-on experience, developing partnerships with industry to ensure that technical school programs remain relevant, and seeking private donations for pilot programs.
Mike Mulgrew of the United Federation of Teachers says career and technical schools are critical for the city's various industries that seek to hire students with specific skills.
MULGREW: It works for the City of New York because it's a major component of the economic development of New York City. So it works for the community, and it works for the students, so it's a win-win.
REPORTER: About 30,000 students are currently enrolled in the city's vocational schools.

Karwar: A decommissioned missile boat of the Indian Navy, INS Chapal, was towed to the shore here from Karwar Naval Base on Monday.
The war ship weighing 270 tonnes will be converted into a museum on the Rabindranath Tagore beach here.
Ravi Verma, representative of National Ship Design and Research Centre, Vishakapattanam, said that a temporary channel had been built by dredging the beach up to a depth of 4.5 m. to bring the ship to a location bounded by the toy train track on the beach, where the ship would be installed. A special platform was being built for the ship, he said.
The operation would take nearly two months to complete, he added. The contract for installing the ship had been given to Das and Company of Vishakapatnam for a sum of Rs. 1.5 crore. Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation has given Rs. 1 crore for this purpose. MLA Gangadhar Bhat and MLC Shubhalata Asnotikar have also provided funds.

Predictions that the world will end today as it marks the end of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the ancient Maya calendar, encouraged a larger than normal crowd to gather at the famous historic stone circle to celebrate the sunrise closest to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.
