West Ham manager Sam Allardyce compared Kevin Nolan to David Platt after his goal secured the Hammers' 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Nolan's close-range strike five minutes before the interval was enough for West Ham to make a successful return to the Barclays Premier League. The goal came with a hint of controversy after Ricardo Vaz Te had been flagged off-side in the build-up, only for the linesman to change his mind.
Allardyce said: "Kevin Nolan is like David Platt because he ghosts into the box without anyone knowing how he got there. We might have won by more. It was a good performance with a clean sheet."

text: |SUMMARY: Yes, email names gathered from sweeps campaigns are *notoriously* low in value. But, this data is based on sweeps running on outside media. What if you only promote it to your customers and top prospects? Anne Driscoll, Internet Marketing Director at Ross-Simons, decided to test an in-house sweeps promo targeting current Web, print catalog, and in-store shoppers this fall. Here's what she discovered:

President Obama got what he wanted with his compromise with Republicans on tax cuts. The Senate overwhemingly said A-OK.
Now it goes to the House, where progressives say they will fight to change some of the provisions —- like tax breaks for the weathiest Americans.
Liberals see a metaphor with the Metrodome in Minneapolis collapsing on Sunday and Obama caving in to Republican demands.
Liberals gone wild! Hell, they may even boycott grapes!
Rumor has it that since their president was so eager to compromise with the enemy within, they may come up with a Presidential Bucket List for him —- things to do before he leaves office in 2013.
Last week the prez called out the Big Guns and had former President Bill Clinton at his side during a press conference, where Bubba went to town explaining why the Obama-GOP compromise was all-important.
As usual, Bubba controlled the room — overshadowing even the charismatic Obama.
But what were some of the folks at that press conference thinking —- especially when Clinton droned on and on?
Things overheard at the Obama-Clinton press conference:
1. "Clinton is undressing me with his eyes."
2. "OK, so this is heavy news —- but they need to have W. up there with them for some comic relief."
3. "Obama and Clinton. More like Tax and Spend."
4. "Let's ask them if they'll close with a song. Somebody suggest 'Ebony and Ivory.' "
5. "The only way to get Clinton to stop talking is to leave a trail of interns heading out the door."
More things that make you go "huh?"
The Yale Librarian —- whoever that is —– said the quote of 2010 is "I'm not a witch."
Of course this was Yale University speaking —- where W. was a cheerleader and where he actually graduated. That ought to give credence to the phrase consider the source.
The quote — not as popular since the Winston-Salem witch trials of 1692 — was mercifully ridiculed by comedians everywhere.
More DOA (Dumbing-Down Of America) seems to be in play here. Not long ago, Mama Grizzly's gaffe of the word repudiate turned out to be refudiate and it was named the best new word of 2010.
The people behind these selections must be the same ones who came up with the billboard of ol' W. —- the Yale Cowboy — with the words "Miss me yet?"
W.'s malapropisms have opened the door for all things misunderestimated.
Bush speak is alive and well and being regurgitated as Palin speak.
Losing candidates who were unqualified to be in the Senate and admit to having dabbled in witchcraft get a book deal.
Millions of people actually believe Fox Fabricates News is fair and balanced —- and that a college education is elitist.
Mission accomplished, by George!
John McCain was on the Senate floor Wednesday barking about earmarks and asking his fellow lawmakers "have we been stricken with amnesia?"
Not recorded was McCain minutes after that grandstanding telling anyone who will listen to him anymore that he doesn't recall ever referring to himself as a maverick, that there was an attack on the United States while George W. Bush was president, and that for the life of him he can't remember selecting a narcissistic nitwit as a running mate in 2008.
Rael, founder and leader of the International Raelian Movement, has awarded the title of Honorary Guide to WikiLeaks freak Julian Assange.
"Julian Assange needs our energy and support so he can continue to destroy the myth of honest political leaders," Rael said in a speech in Japan.
Why Japan? Raelians are there to celebrate the 37th anniversary of Rael's encounter with the extraterrestrial scientists who created life on earth.
What kind of present goes with a 37th anniversary like that? Gold? Silver? Your first born?
Extraterrestrial scientists created life on Earth, huh?
That explains Cleveland.

No audio on startup (HR-34)
Posted 22 March 2013 - 11:41 AM
I start up the TV and the HR-34 with the DirecTV remote. It doesn't make any difference if I start them up at essentially the same time, or turn the TV on first then the HR-34, or turn on the HR-34 first then the TV. The audio problem happens at the same rate no matter which sequence I use.
Changing the channel does not fix it. Turning the HR-34 off and then on does not fix it. Turning the TV off and then on does fix it but sometimes I have to do it 4-5 times to get it to work. Changing the TV to another HDMI input and then back to the HR-34 input does work but again I might have to do it 4-5 times.
Someone told me it could be the HDMI cable that is the problem. I doubt this because I used the same cable for my HR-24 and it never had this problem once. Still, the cable could have been damaged in the installation or something, so I ordered a new cable on Amazon and when it arrives I will switch it out and see if that fixes the problem.
Have any of you had this problem? How did you fix it?
Edit to add: the reset button also fixes the problem, but it doesn't work every time. When the problem first started happening last fall, I thought I had to hit reset every single time, which was an enormous pain. Now, it's not such a big pain with being able to fix it with a few pressed of the TV power button, but I'd still like to see this problem disappear.

It sounds like HDMI handshake issue but have you tried turning off or on Dolby Digital, just for another thing to try.

I have now turned Dolby off - it was on before - and we'll see if that changes anything.
Posted 27 March 2013 - 07:43 AM
I turned Dolby off and the problem still occurs. But, I have noticed that since the HDMI cable change, it has occurred much less frequently. It used to be about 50/50, now it's more like 80 audio, 20 no audio. My guess is that it was a HDMI handshake issue with the port on the DVR.
I never had any audio problem with my HR-24 using the same cable and the same television. Plus, switching out the cable didn't completely eliminate the problem. So, it's not the cable and it's not the TV.
Changing the cable made the problem occur less frequently. My guess is that this had more to do with taking the cable out and putting it back in than the cable itself being changed.

U-T editorial: Parcel tax concerns
San Diego Unified has some explaining to do
In March of this year, as part of a contract in which teachers agreed to take five furlough days the next two school years – the equivalent of a 2.74 percent pay cut – they were also given a phased-in 7 percent raise in 2012 and 2013. Very similar deals were approved for other unionized workers. Where will the money come from? According to the district's web site, the cost of salary and benefits as a percentage of the general fund will go from 88.3 percent in 2009-10 to 91.8 percent in 2012-13. This means many student programs are going to have to be slashed or eliminated.
San Diego Unified's primary policymaking goal appears to be insulating teachers, not students, from the pain caused by the state's budget nightmare. Voters need to know going forward if this is going to remain the board's approach – and if so, why?
We look forward to meeting with both fans and foes of the parcel tax in coming months to talk about these important issues. Let the discussion begin.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5
After waiting a couple of weeks to see if there are any issues, I have today upgraded to WordPress 2.5. I must admit that I am liking the new interface and I am going to spend some time looking into the new features and functionality offered by version 2.5.
Hopefully, I will not inherit any problems so please let me know if you find any.
Also, thanks to all who added me on Facebook and Twitter. Got quite a few of you now on both applications and I am looking forward to interacting with you all in the future.

I think that the new version brings some great new features to the table but I find myself resisting a bit of the change (even though I upgraded). I suspect there's a part of me that was very comfortable with the old interface and doesn't want to spend the two minutes getting used to the new stuff.Reply

An easy starter from London restaurateur Yotam Ottolenghi. "This is probably one of the simplest yet finest starters you can offer. There's only one catch — your ingredients. I would ditch the idea at once if I couldn't get a ripe summery tomato, juicy and sweetly intense, a tomato that has never seen a fridge or a chilled truck, only soil and sun. You can actually get such tomatoes if you look hard enough. The best tomato I ever had was homegrown in the village of Monarola in the Cinque Terre, northern Italy. I'll never forget it. You also need a top-quality buffalo mozzarella. Serve this with good crusty white bread."
1/2 tsp fennel seeds grated zest of 1 lemon
15 basil leaves, shredded
2 tsp chopped oregano
2 tsp best-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to finish
2 tsp grape seed oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp Maldon sea salt, black pepper
8 to 9 oz. buffalo mozzarella cheese
2 ripe medium tomatoes (red, yellow or mixed)
Step 1: To make the marinade. Scatter the fennel seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat and dry-roast until they begin to pop. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush roughly. Place the crushed seeds in a small bowl and add the remaining marinade ingredients.
Step 2: Break the mozzarella roughly with your hands. Smear it with the marinade and set aside for 15-30 minutes.
Step 3: To serve, cut the tomatoes into wedges and plate along with the marinated mozzarella. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 12/27/11
By BRETT HUSTON STATS Editor The Milwaukee Bucks weren't feeling good about themselves after coughing up a big lead in their season opener. Despite also coming up short in their first game, the Minnesota Timberwolves had a more optimistic attitude. A night after solid debuts from Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams, the Timberwolves will hope for a better result Tuesday as they try to spoil Milwaukee's home opener. Minnesota (0-1) got good news twice in June, finding out early in the month that Rubio - the fifth pick in the 2009 draft - had agreed to sign with the Timberwolves, then later selecting Williams with the No. 2 overall pick. Those two helped bring Minnesota back from as many as 12 down in the third quarter to take the lead early in the fourth in Monday's season opener against Oklahoma City, but the Thunder made enough plays down the stretch to escape with a 104-100 win. "That's a team that's a contender and we took them down to the last minute," said Minnesota forward K...

The Commission's information society and media commissioner, Viviane Reding, said the EC is now considering future six-digit pan-European "free-phone" numbers, to start with 116, including a helpline for children. The number for reporting missing children is 116000.
According to the Commission, the 116 range of numbers will be reserved for services that "will help citizens in difficulty or contribute to their well-being or safety." The Commission is now fielding suggestions from the public on possible uses of such numbers.
The Commission will then decide which services to adopt and allow individual member states to allocate the numbers to appropriate organizations within the country.
The period for public comment will close on May 20. The Commission has posted information about prospective free-phone service and contact information online (click here for PDF).

Server virtualization, converged networking, and scalable intelligent storage are rapidly becoming de facto standards for data center infrastructures everywhere. Sizing a new infrastructure is no longer a question of exactly how many of what brand of server you might need to buy, but one of how much raw compute power and storage capacity and performance you require -- regardless of how it might be assembled. Although huge differences exist between various vendors' implementations of these features, this phenomenon is ultimately leading to a commoditization of data center infrastructure tech.
At the leading edge of that commoditization are four of the largest infrastructure tech players; Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and a partnership among Cisco Systems, EMC, and EMC's VMware subsidiary, called VCE. Through partnerships and acquisitions, these vendors have each worked to produce soup-to-nuts virtual infrastructure bundles that include all the hardware and software comprising a data center -- including virtualization hosts, networking hardware, storage, and in some cases, private cloud management software to tie it all together.
For organizations looking for a very fast and easy way to deploy greenfield data center infrastructure without having to deal with the hassle of a detailed design and a stack of compatibility matrices, these all-in-one bundles can be an enormous time-saver. However, this bundling is not always good for customers.
Data center infrastructure bundling: The good
It's easy to see why bundling can be a great thing. Despite the enormous freedom presented by virtualization, designing and implementing data center infrastructure is by no means simple. It's no easy task to navigate the complexities of one vendor's blade hardware, another vendor's converged networking gear, and yet another vendor's storage hardware while making sure that you have enough power and cooling. If that's not enough, there's still the question of whether your IT staff has the skills to manage it.
Many IT shops breathe a sigh of relief when presented with a simple menu of preconfigured infrastructure options that are guaranteed to work with each other, shipped and installed quickly, and supported by a single support organization. This is particularly true for large institutions seeking maximally configured chunks of data center hardware that function as independent bricks of compute and storage capacity.

CRESTVIEW - Authorities are reporting that a Wednesday afternoon crash left 1,200 people in a Crestview neighborhood in the dark for more than 10 hours.
Crestview Police Department Lt. Andrew Schneider said the crash knocked out power around 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
Matthew Goda, 27, of Baker, was driving west on PJ Adams Parkway on Wednesday afternoon when he left the roadway at the intersection of Crab Apple Drive. He struck three utility poles, damaging one and severing two poles that had a cluster of transformers on them, damaging the transformers, Schneider said.
The power was out for approximately 1,200 residents in the PJ Adams Parkway and Antioch Road area. The power was finally restored around 2 a.m. Thursday.
Preliminary estimates of the damage surpass $300,000, Schneider said.
Goda recieved minor injuries in the crash and refused medical treatment.
He was charged with careless driving and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended driver's license.
Previous coverage

New Horizons is in the final stages of preparation before blasting off on its voyage to Pluto, during which it will become the fastest spacecraft ever to depart Earth.
NASA is counting down to a lift-off at 1324 EST (1824 GMT) on Tuesday, with the craft sitting atop an Atlas 5 rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, US.
The Atlas 5, one of the cape's largest rockets, will have five solid rocket motors strapped to its side, one of which had to be replaced after being damaged by Hurricane Wilma.
The 478-kilogram spacecraft will experience five times the force of Earth's gravity during its climb into space. It will reach the Moon in nine hours - the Apollo capsules took three days.
In one year the probe will slingshot around Jupiter, using the gas giant's gravity to boost its speed yet further, and one month after that it will go into hibernation mode for the rest of its journey. As it leaves Jupiter behind, it will be flying at 21 kilometres (13 miles) per second.
Tank trouble
Launch weather officer Joel Tumbiolo predicts a 20% chance of unacceptable launch weather on Tuesday, citing clouds and possible winds in the area. If launch is postponed until Wednesday, the probability of bad weather increases to 60% as a cold front moves through the area, bringing with it the possibility of clouds, rain and winds.
The launch was pushed back six days after a first-stage fuel tank split open after a high-pressure test at the factory. So technicians needed time to inspect the tank that will fly on Tuesday to ensure it did not have the same problems.
"Our tank was absolutely pristine," says NASA launch director Omar Baez. "There was no indication of any kind of defects on this tank."
On Tuesday, the launch window lasts until 1523 EST (2023 GMT). Mission managers have until 14 February to get New Horizons Pluto-bound. If the launch is after 3 February, however, New Horizons will have to skip Jupiter, and go straight to Pluto, pushing its arrival back by four years.
Pluto is the only planet in the solar system that remains unexplored by robotic probes. For more on the New Horizons science mission, see our feature on the mission, here.

|The classic head and shoulders shot, with the head cropped to force attention right into the eyes and face.
|The subject squatted on the floor to bring his muscles out, while two lights on either side provided dramatic, harsh lighting
Head and shoulders
The reasons for shooting a head and shoulders shot are that it's right up close and personal. You are concentrating the viewer on the person's face, expression and character. The background and the rest of their body have become irrelevant and are excluded. As such, it's an easy shot to set up and requires little expense.
The classic shot is of the subject straight on to the camera, but to carry this off, the lighting needs to be off to one side to create shadows. David Bailey revolutionised portrait photography in the 60s by doing just this, and cropping into the top of the head. This forces attention right into the face and leaves the eyes, on the top third horizontal line as well. If shooting under studio lights, this is likely to be at least f/5.6, but if shooting in available light, you will have the opportunity to shoot at f/1.8 (if you have the right lens). This will create very shallow depth of field, completely blurring the background. Just ensure that you focus on the eyes.
This is what not to shoot. A plain sideways profile is dull and more reminiscent of a police mugshot that a worthwhile portrait.
Instead, turn the subject so that although they are in profile, there is a little more of the face visible. This puts it into three dimensions.
An alternative to the standard shot is to change the shooting angle. With a wide angle lens this will distort the image, but it's still possible to shoot with a 75-100mm lens from above and get a more dramatic image. In fact, once you've mastered the standard shot, experiment with angles and with severe crops right into the face.
A variation on the head and shoulders shot is the profile. Have a look at the two photos showing this and you can see what you need to do to avoid it turning into a police mugshot.
Three quarters length
The three quarters length shot is also more easy than the full length shot, but requires more work than the head and shoulders shot. Shoot this by cropping just above the knee so that the attention is drawn to the hips, torso and head. You can include some background, but because the feet are excluded, you don't have to work the person into the background or worry about how they are going to stand with regards to feet placement. The person needs to be expressive or dynamic, because, as stated, you are not using the background to make a significant contribution. How they stand is therefore important, but it doesn't have to relate to the background. A 50mm lens is ideal for this type of shot, especially on a digital camera, as it converts to 75mm, allowing you to crop in without causing undue lens distortion. Even if using studio lighting, no more than f/5.6 is required for this shot for depth of field.
What's wrong with this image is that there's too much leg, which could be cropped off, but crucially the subject looks totally disengaged with the shoot.
The length is better here, the subject has turned slightly to present a more dynamic angle, the lighting is more creative and she is pouting.
The two studio shots show this in practice. In the one on the left, the length isn't quite right because the subject was quite tall, but worse still, the lighting is bland and the guy looks totally bored. In the picture on the right, the posing is far more dynamic, with angled arms, hips, a turn of the torso, and the subject makes good eye contact and her best pout.
It's easier to shoot outdoors when you don't have to worry about the feet.
Taking the shoot outdoors is still easier than a full length shot as this next image shows. It's outdoors and while the shallow depth of field renders it out of focus, it's obviously woodland and it ties in with the country look of the model's clothes and air rifle. The subject is sitting down, but with the floor removed, there's no problem with foot placement.
Full length
The full length photo allows the most interaction and variation, but is the hardest to get right because how the subject stands now comes into play, and how they relate to the background. Ensure that they don't look awkward or the pose stilted – standing straight on looking directly into the camera is a no-no. Also, you have to be far more careful with composition and lens selection.
Start with the basics. Unless the subject is in the background or there is a compelling photographic reason to do otherwise, there should be the same or less area under their feet than there is above their head. If there is more space under the feet than above the head, the picture will look like they are cramped and the space wasted.
While the 50mm lens is your portrait friend, on the full length shots, you can experiment more. A 100-200mm lens will allow you to stand further away and zoom. This will have the effect of narrowing the field of view so that the scenery behind the subject will be restricted. This is useful if you are shooting outside and there are lots of people about, or if the rest of the scenery isn't worth including. The word of caution when using a longer lens is to pay attention to the shutter speed. There's little point in shooting it if a low shutter speed causes camera shake. The other effect of the longer lens is that there is less depth of field, so that the background can be completely blurred. Be careful about using wide open apertures if standing a little further away than normal as it can be difficult to judge that the focus is perfectly sharp.
When integrating people into the scenery ensure the feet aren't planted next to each other, otherwise it look like a tourist photo
Here the view is automatically taken from the subject, back up the street behind as she appears to have walked down it. This adds depth.
In this next set of photos, on the left the subject has placed one foot slightly in front of the other and has angled her torso slightly towards the sun so that the pose is dynamic and not staid and predictable. She is also looking looking off into the sunlight, rather than the camera while hair whips past her face. Note that the interaction with the background is complete as the colour of the top matches the heather. This was shot with a 50mm lens (75mm effective on digital).
In the picture on the right the subject is shown walking down the street and because of that action, the street is included, along with the guttering, which leads the eye from the subject in the foreground, right past her up to street into the background, which is where it looks like she came from.
At the opposite end of the lens spectrum is the wide angle lens. Now this is normally frowned upon for portraits, but when shooting full length can be used for more creative effects. Bear in mind that wherever the central point of the image is, that will appear large and what's at the edges will be diminished. This means that if standing up and focussing on the head then the legs will be foreshortened. The background becomes less important. However get down low and the legs will appear longer and the landscape will sweep away into the background, and is very important to the feel of the picture.
This shot used fill-flash because the background was so bright. With the lens at head height, the top half of the subject is maximised, making the legs disappear into the ground. It was shot at 27mm and f/8.
Now the camera is down low and the subject is shot as she walks past the camera. The sweep of the legs is exaggerated and with a clean, patterned immediate background, the eye is taken away to the buildings in the distance.

Wood Burning Ban
Hello all,
First, I apologize if I'm double posting, but I thought I put this up yesterday and it hasn't shown up. Anyway, I am in the process of planning a pompeii oven and am to the point where I have located all of the materials and have the site picked out in the backyard. Yesterday, I went down to the City and County of Denver to make sure that I was allowed to build the oven in the location I had chosen. What I came to find out is that I can build the oven, but am not allowed to fire it using wood...sigh.
So, I'm wondering if anyone here has an oven in Denver and has gone ahead with burning wood without any problems. Otherwise, has anyone run a gas line to their oven? How about charcoal? Does anyone have any suggestions that would allow me to somehow reasonably circumvent these restrictions?
Otherwise, this has been an incredible resource and I wanted to thank everyone for contributing and providing such a rich resource for brick ovens.
Re: Wood Burning Ban
Are fireplaces banned in Denver ?
Re: Wood Burning Ban
I thought WFO's were classified as appliances for cooking and exempt?
Re: Wood Burning Ban
Check the thread here
Maybe one of these folks can give you more direction.
Re: Wood Burning Ban
New wood burning fireplaces are not allowed. The person I spoke with wasn't all that confident that it wasn't something I was allowed to do. I think they err on the side of saying anything that burns wood is not legal, but knowing I can pursue the cooking appliance route helps tremendously.
Thanks so much for the suggestion and link.
Re: Wood Burning Ban
Hey Eric,
I'd get an answer from the authorities as to what are you supposed to fire it with and get an answer as to why you can't use wood.
I think that the members would like to know. Maybe with a link, concerned members might get some movement for you!
I appreciate that on fire ban days you can't use wood, but then you may not be able to use gas either, but if you have the safety side f the oven covered, ie. with a spark arrester and safe distances from combustible materials, there shouldn't be a problem.
Re: Wood Burning Ban
I received a response from Drake Remoray which included a link to the wood burning restrictions page for the state of colorado (Air Polution Control Division.) While it doesn't go into detail regarding which items are exempt from this ban, if at all, I was able to locate a phone number and spoke with someone who says cooking appliances are not considered as part of the ban.
Pouring the slab...

Gasoline at U.S. pumps drops to lowest in five months
Dan Murtaugh, Bloomberg News | July 2, 2013
Photo By Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesThe average U.S. retail gasoline price fell to the lowest level since January, but you could save gasoline with a few simple tips. See how.
Photo By Haraz N. Ghanbari/Associated PressPoliticians can directly impact gasoline prices: This has been one of the more debated misconceptions. Crude oil prices make up the bulk of gasoline prices, and crude oil prices are set by the global market. Politicians can impact gasoline prices indirectly, but there is little direct impact they can have.
Photo By Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesGas stations make a huge profit off gasoline: Many drivers unfairly believe that gas stations are raking in huge profits on gasoline sales. In fact, it's the opposite. Gas stations make cents on the dollar.
Photo By Don Ryan/APGet gas in the morning: This myth really depends on where you live. Gasoline does expand as it warms, meaning you get less gasoline volume when it's warm. In most places, this isn't a concern, but Texas is a different story. You might get a few extra drops of gasoline by buying in the morning.
Photo By E. Joseph Deering/Houston ChronicleTapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could lower prices: This is obviously not true. President Barack Obama tapped the reserve, and drivers barely noticed a difference.
Oil companies produce less in the spring: During the spring months, consumers usually see an increase in the price of gasoline. However, it isn't because oil companies are reducing production. The increase usually happens because refineries are switching from winter to summer blends and tighter supply due to refinery maintenance.
Turn off the air conditioner, roll down the windows: It's a popular myth that you can save fuel by turning off the air conditioner and rolling down the windows on the freeway. Sadly, there isn't much of a saving in doing it. However, you can see a fuel savings by turning off your air conditioner and keeping your windows up.
Overinflating your tires: Some people claim overinflating your tires can help save your money by improve the rolling resistance of the car, but it doesn't hold up when tested. Overinflating your tires gives you a bumpier ride and a very minimum increase in fuel economy.
Photo By Improbcat/FlickrGas savings products increase gas mileage: Some products do help improve gas mileage, but a bulk of them don't do what they say. The Federal Trade Commission tested more than 100 devices and found 25 percent didn't improve gas mileage. A few even damaged the engines.
The average U.S. retail gasoline price fell to the lowest level since January as refineries increased output in the Midwest, easing supply fears.
Gasoline prices averaged $3.496 a gallon today, down 8.1 cents from the previous week and the lowest level since Jan. 28, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The average price is 14 cents higher than it was this time last year.
Prices fell in every geographic region, led by the Midwest, where the average price dropped 15.2 cents to $3.394. Prices there have dropped 12 percent since June 10.
BP Plc (BP/)'s refinery in Whiting, Indiana, restarted its largest crude unit, returning the plant to its nameplate capacity of 413,000 barrels a day, the company said today in a written statement. Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) finished a planned turnaround at its Joliet, Illinois, refinery on June 9.
Gasoline supplies in the Midwest have grown every week since May 17, when they dropped to a one-year low of 47.6 million barrels. Stocks grew by 206,000 barrels to 49.9 million in the week ended June 21, according to Energy Information Administration data.
The cheapest gasoline in the U.S. was in the Gulf Coast, where prices fell 6.5 cents to $3.312 a gallon. The highest prices were on the West Coast, where the average declined 5.6 cents to $3.892.

Vine Hill Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2009
Pinot Noir from Santa Cruz Mountains, California
Winemaker's Notes
Bright raspberry and cranberry fruit aromas mingle with earthy anise characters. Orange peel and tobacco accent flavors of blueberry and dark cherry. Notes of chocolate and vanilla compliment the fruit and interact nicely with the soft tannins and natural acidity of the wine.
Try pairing with an earthy Portobello Mushroom ravioli.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Rich and satisfying, it has a ton of cherry and cola fruit that is wrapped into firm tannins and made brisk with acidity. The finish is dry and spicy. Not an ager, but it's a beautiful wine to drink now with a great steak."
Vine Hill Winery
There is something really satisfying about seeing a long-held dream unfolding before your eyes. Such is the circumstance in which Nick Guerrero, Managing Partner of Vine Hill Winery finds himself. Nick and his team have embarked on a journey that continues a long tradition of winemaking in the historic Vine Hill Wine District. Established in 1867 by George and John Jarvis the wine district housed the Santa Cruz Mountain Wine Company of which John Jarvis was the president until his death in 1892. Jarvis also founded Union Vineyard in 1877. It is this historic site that is today's Vine Hill Winery.
Nick sees himself as the team's "coach." He lets each individual create their own template for success and is always there to lend a guiding hand as needed. "Putting other's first" was not always Nick's mantra, but as he has evolved, so has his opinion on managing people. He believes that the winery environment engenders an individual's reach for excellence and the ability to collaborate for the common good. Nick understands that this opportunity cannot always be seized in larger, corporate environments, or on the manufacturing room floor. That is why he feels extremely lucky to be surrounded by such outstanding individuals in an environment where their greatest success is celebrating great winemaking and all the efforts that support this goal. View all Vine Hill Winery Wines
About Santa Cruz MountainsView a map of Santa Cruz Mountains wineries
The Santa Cruz Mountain appellation encompasses the land between Half Moon Bay in the north and Mount Madonna (just near Monterey) in the south. Producing wine since the early 1800's, some of these wineries have been around for quite some time, mingling their vineyard lands with the sprawling redwood forests.
Notable FactsEven though the climate can be challenging, and only 1500 acres are under vine, over 50 wineries still operate successfully – and produce successful wine. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay do well in this region, along with a few plots of Cabernet Sauvignon. Hills, valleys and forests generate multiple micro-climates, creating a diverse flavor among the wines.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

One of my favorites and great price! Malvern, PA39/29/2012Have only had one bottle and not with meat, only with cheese and crackers. Allowed wine to breathe for hour or so before drinking. Found wine to be a little harsh at back of throat and a little acidic. Otherwise not a bad Pinot Noir. Would not buy again.
- Style
- Smooth & Supple
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.

Not all anesthetics are alike, and their side effects differ. Nitrous oxide provides minimal sedation, which means you will be fully awake but relaxed. The benefit of minimal sedation is that you can drive home following the procedure. We can also provide moderate sedation options, which make you groggy and leave you with little to no memory of the procedure.
When you come in, we'll take the time to thoroughly outline your anesthetic options explaining how each works and what side effects you can expect. You'll be able to make an informed decision that will restore your oral health without causing the pain you fear.

X-men origens - Victor
Hello folks.
I'm quite new on this forum, but here I am.
I work with digital sculpure, but since I got my pack of clay 3 months ago, I can't open zbrush anymore, just for work.
So, I started this 1;6 scale bust this weekend, and based on the new wolverine movie.
I still have a lot of work to do on detailing and polishing, but here we go!
C&C are really welcome

Hi! ...and Welcome to CA
I have not seen the movie...so I don't know who he is but...
To me, his forearms look short...and the width of the shoulders is not far enough apart(which would help cause the forearm problem).
What kinds of clay are you using? looks like super sculpey and Chavant or something...so I was wondering ...why? LOL
OK...give me a break, it is 3:03 am and I have no coffee!!! LOL

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewJeyne Kassynder inspired the citizens of Ehb to rise up against the 10th Legion after the murder of the king, thirty years prior to the events in Dungeon Siege III. She is revered as a living saint by many followers of Azunai, and currently leads a large army, which is embroiled in a war against Queen Roslyn. She led the attack against the 10th Legion on a very young age of nineteen, as revealed by Odo. She also killed Hugh Montbarron and was the only living thing that walked out of the Mournweald alive after the massacre.Determined to crush all of the 10th LegionDuring Dungeon Siege III, it is revealed that Jeyne is the illegitimate daughter of the former king of Ehb, who was murdered by Hugh Montbarron. This makes her Queen Roslyn's aunt and also means she has a claim to the throne. Her father's murder is what fuels her hatred for the Legion.Over the course of the game the player finds out that Jeyne is actually an Archon. Archons are an ancient race of fire elemental beings that once served the Gods.Before the player confronts Jeyne at the Spire in Chapter 8, and given they spared Rajani's life after their battle, Rajani and another archon confront the player, claiming Jeyne has gone insane, that she is speaking of strange visions and hearing the voices of the lost Gods. They reveal a secret relic with an ancient power has been found by her. They don't want to see their fellow sisters die because of Jeynes personal crusade, and offer their assistance when the player promises no one has to die.It is also revealed that Jeyne has taken the place of the First Sister, which seemingly binds the life of all archons to hers. If she is to die, so every Archon is as well. Rajani explains that the First Sister burns the brightest of us all. Her fire nurtures us. Extinguish her and we will all fade.Jeynes mother was the original First Sister, but died after giving birth to her. However, the godly fire - the flame keeping her alive - has been passed on from mother to daughter.After defeating the Corrupted Creator God, Jeyne reveals that thirty years ago, Hugh Montbarron lured her into the Mournweald. He was certain she would not dare to attack him here, as her tribe considered it a holy place. But Jeynes hatred for the murderer of her father was greater than her faith and loyalty towards the ancient Gods. Jeyne mentions she does not know how Montbarron could enter, when no one except herself and her mother were able to set foot on the holy ground. When the player remarks it could have been a trial of the Gods to test her faith, Jeyne reacts with remorse and admits she betrayed them.EndingsIf the player decides to kill JeyneAfter the game's final battle, the player can decide over Jeyne Kassynder's fate.The player can choose to kill her. However, if they do not, there are four different options what to do with her.Order her to rebuild the nation.Hand her over to Queen Roslyn - The queen treats her well, but Jeyne is eventually killed in her sleep. The image suggests she saw it coming and let the people do it, as a way to atone for what she has done.Send her into exile.Put her on trial - Jeyne is sentenced to life imprisonment in the Glitterdelve mines.

Chef Kevin Naderi released the name of his newest restaurant – going into the space formerly occupied by El Gran Malo at 2307 Ella Blvd – exclusively to The Leader. The 160-seat restaurant will be called Lillo & Ella and offer a full bar with parking available next door. While Naderi shared the name, he was mum on details about the menu itself, only stating that it would be different from his current restaurant in Montrose (Roost) and that it would change quarterly. The restaurant transformation is already well underway, with equipment being moved in and an estimated opening date of May 1.

First-generation student pursues dream, degree following gap year
As the number of first-generation college students continues to grow in Arkansas, financial burdens can sometimes impair academic engagement once enrolled in school.
Perhaps that is why Shalondra Martin, 22, of Little Rock, was so overjoyed when she opened a letter from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Office of Private Scholarships and saw this one simple word: "Congratulations."
Martin is the recipient of the C. Robert Sarver Memorial Scholarship, awarded to undergraduate students in any degree program with special consideration for academic potential and need, as well as public service.
She learned of the scholarship by attending a workshop offered by the UALR Office of Campus Life specifically geared toward non-traditional and first-generation students.
The scholarship means Martin will be financially secure, helping fulfill her dream of obtaining a four-year degree with little to no debt.
More importantly, it is helping fulfill the long-held wish of her single mother, to whom Martin referred as "the wisest and most altruistic person I know."
Not only is Martin part of the growing trend of first-generation students to enroll at UALR, she is also part of a growing trend of college-age students in the U.S. who choose to take a "gap year" between high school and college.
Martin, a 2009 Hall High School graduate in the top 20 percent of her class, joined City Year following graduation. The non-profit national service organization of 17 to 24 year-old students serves high-need school districts across the country.
From early morning until midday for a full academic year, Martin tutored first-graders at Seventh Street Elementary School in North Little Rock. After several months, she saw her students progress from low reading levels to improving at least two reading levels.
"I was so proud, it was like they became my little kids for a while. This was a remarkable feeling," she said. "Not only did their reading levels increase, but so did their confidence."
In addition, Martin spent afternoons planning monthly community service projects for City Year corps members such as painting murals, building benches, and transforming a community garden.
The experience taught her leadership skills and garnered her friends from many backgrounds. The local community college where Martin recently earned her associate's of science degree also provided a scholarship award for her year of service.
When considering where to transfer to complete her bachelor's degree, Martin, who aspires to be a professional dancer and choreographer, said she chose UALR because of its outstanding dance program. She said she wants to use dance to teach workshops and reach diverse groups of people.
Martin started dancing with the praise dance team at her church as a seven-year old, and later joined a three-person mime group. She also enrolled in a local dance school where she acquired the discipline necessary for classical dance genres.
She even had the opportunity to work with legendary dancer and choreographer Bill Hastings during his jazz dance workshop through the THEA Foundation.
Martin said the scholarship not only enables an education in a field for which she clearly has passion, but also benefits her long-term career goals and the lives of the people she hopes to positively affect.
As for words of advice for others who are among the first in their family to attend college, Martin left parting words.
"Don't give up," she said. "A new generation starts with you. Apply for as many scholarships as you can. Stay consistent and don't lose sight of your goal."

The 10th Anniversary of the US Invasion of Iraq Is Next Month
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Tuesday) | Listen to this entire show:
Good morning- welcome to Radioactivity. I'm Rob Lorei. Author David Corm writes: "On March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush launched the invasion of Iraq that would lead to a nine-year war resulting in 4,486 dead American troops, 32,226 service members wounded, and over 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians. The tab for the war topped $3 trillion."
Last night on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC program a documentary based on David Corn's book HUBRIS appeared looking at the lies leading the US into the Iraq War. This morning we'll hear a few minutes of the documentary and open the phone lines to get your comments.comments powered by Disqus
