Girolate 2003
Bordeaux Red Blends from Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
Color is deep almost opaque, purplish red, high viscosity, with fuchsia rim. The nose boasts of pure black fruit aromas: blackberry and blackcurrant. The good integration of the wood lifts up all the flavors. Full bodied, yet multilayered it is soft as silk in the mouth. This beautiful wine can be associated with lamb, duck or roasted meats and ideal with mature cheeses (Roquefort, old Gouda, mimolette...
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The flagship, luxury cuvee of 100% Merlot from the innovative, visionary firm of Despagne, Girolate is a cutting edge, amazing tour de force in winemaking. The smoky, chocolaty, espresso, and mocha aromas are interwoven with gorgeous layers of black cherry and berry fruit. This full-bodied, unctuously-textured, layered wine has as much in common with a big Napa Cabernet as it does with a Bordeaux Merlot. Its soft tannin, low acidity, and serious concentration are amazing when you consider its humble pedigree. Enjoy this hedonistic smorgasbord of wonderful things over the next 6-8 years."
Wine Enthusiast - "The Despagne family returned to tradition with the making of Girolate, planting a vineyard to the former high density, keeping winemaking simple. This is the 2003, the latest release. Reflecting the heat of that vintage, it is soft, textured, rich and spicy, with a southern warmth. Pure superripe Merlot."
Girolate Winery
Located 12km south of Saint Emilion, Girolate benefits an exceptional terroir. A meticulous work is being done to allow the outstanding aromatic and savoury potential of the fruits coming out of this particular plot. The entire Despagne expertise is being used to reach excellence in every ways. Care for each detail is meant for an out-of-the-way wine that is risking the impossible. Strict limitations of appellations are now bound to be enterily overthrown.
As far as we know the name "Girolate" comes from the ancient french [giro]: "the one who turns" and [late]: "great piece of land". We believe this terroir was very much sought after by poters for the excellent quality of its clay. Beneath the ground lies a thick layer of limestone enclosing a quarry. The 10ha plot is an exceptional terroir ideal for merlot. In order to favor its natural expression, we have choosen to plant at a very high density, spacing the vines by a mere meter that is to say 10 000 vines per ha. Because we wante them to concentrate all their energy on the 4 bunches they were to carry, whe have constrained them to grow as "bonsai's" meaning very close to the ground with a high canopy. According to Jean Louis Despagne's principle: "it is vain to believe one can create in the cellar what the vine wasn't able to deliver" View all Girolate Wines
About Other BordeauxA few extra appellations:
Bourg & Blaye
These two appellations are just across the Gironde river from the Haut-Medoc – a bit northwest of St-Émilion and its satellites. Bourg is the smaller appellation, nestled under the much bigger Blaye. Both have AC status, Cotes de Bourg AC and Cotes de Blaye AC. One step up on the AOC chain is the Premieres Cotes de Blaye AC, producing excellent red wines. Both regions rely primarily on Merlot, blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and some Cabernet Franc. Whites are allowed here too – usually Sauvignon Blanc, creating dry and pleasant wine.
Listrac & Moulis
These two appellations are situated in the western part of the Medoc, in that they are further inland from their more prestigious neighbor communes like Margaux and Pauillac. In typically Medoc fashion, the wines are based on Cabernet Sauvignon. Due to their location further inland, the soils are dense and retain water, leading to wines that can be more rustic than those wines from communes on the riverbanks. But seek out the good producers, as many bargains are to be had in the Cru Bourgeois of these regions.
Entre Deux Mers is not exactly what it means – between two seas - as technically it's between two rivers. The wines produced in this region, sandwiched between the Garonne & Dardogne rivers, are light and charming and often reasonably priced. The AC of Entre Deux Mers is only for white wines, reds from the region will be listed as Bordeaux AC. Like other Bordeaux whites, wines of the area are made from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle. Light, crisp, citrus-y and floral, these wines are great summer drinkers.
Bordeaux & Bordeaux Superior
Bordeaux wines that do not fall under a specific appellation are labeled "Appellation Bordeaux" or "Appellation Bordeaux Superieur." The majority of wines made in Bordeaux fall into one of these categories. Wines from these two classifications are made with grapes that come from any appellation within Bordeaux – white or red. Most of the wines are white, and much of the red comes from Entre Deux Mers, where only white wines can bear the namesake appellation on their label. Bordeaux Superior has slightly stricter regulations than the Bordeaux AC.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

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.

Format:electronic copy (download)
The on-line monitoring of a power plant (or any process plant) has three primary functions: data acquisition, data analysis, and data presentation. Relative to the second of these functions, advanced methods for generating reliable data analysis computer codes are presented. The results are illustrated for a safety parameter display system that provides operators with a computer-graphic summary of a nuclear power plant's safety status. In the conventional method of analysis code production, the systems analyst or designer generates rules by which the plant status is being evaluated, while the transcription of those rules to a computer code is done separately by a programmer. Subsequently, the analysis code produced by the programmer must be validated against the specifications prepared by the systems analyst. A logic generator and logic validator are presented to streamline these processes. The logic generator acquires the relevant specifications through a systematic dialogue with the designer and then translates them automatically into an efficient computer logic code, thus solving the problem of a designer who is not a programmer interfacing with a programmer who is not a designer. The logic generator enhances code reliability in two ways. First, it encourages the systems analyst to produce more reliable and relevant specifications because of the logical structured order in which the interactive session is being conducted. Second, because of the mass production mode by which the logic codes are being generated, proving once the correctness of the code production process ensures the accuracy of all codes to be generated in the future. In the postproduction stage, a logic validator enhances code reliability by displaying a structural overview of the data analysis code, allowing the user an additional opportunity for code evaluation.

Today the American Federation of Teachers targeted the Show-Me Institute for our work to improve educational opportunities for Missouri's families.
The public-sector union included Show-Me Institute board members as part of a national blacklist of fund managers that public pension trustees are encouraged to avoid.
According to a Wall Street Journal article, the union's goal is to "strong-arm pension trustees not to invest in hedge funds or private-equity funds that support education reform." (Full Article)
"The Show-Me Institute will not be bullied by the American Federation of Teachers into abandoning ideas that are in the interests of the people of Missouri," Show-Me Institute Executive Director Brenda Talent said. "It is ironic, and sad, that a union which claims to represent kids and teachers is using pressure tactics to defeat proposals that would benefit both groups. We will continue our principled fight for Missouri's students, taxpayers, and pensioners — whether the AFT likes it or not."
Read a post on this event on Show-Me Daily.
On January 25th, 2013 National School Choice Week will begin their coast-to-coast Whistle-Stop Train Tour. Along the way, the historic train will stop in 14 cities at school choice rallies. The Show-Me Institute is proud to partner with NSCW in hosting the event at the train's fourth stop in Kansas City.
School choice is an issue that impacts all people and one that all should be able to support. The basic principal is that families should have the ability to choose the best educational option for their child. From a practical perspective, we see that giving families options improves educational outcomes for students. In short, school choice works.
We hope you will join us in Kansas City as we celebrate all forms of school choice.
SAINT LOUIS - Crosby Kemper III, chairman of the Show-Me Institute, announced today that Brenda Talent has been selected as the institute's executive director. Talent was selected after a lengthy and comprehensive search to find the best and most qualified candidate to help lead the institute in its efforts to promote public policies that are driven by free-market principles and a desire to advance liberty.
SAINT LOUIS - Judicial selection is a hot political issue in Missouri. Groups and individuals throughout the state have taken sides in efforts to either alter or preserve the methods by which judges are chosen in their particular jurisdictions. The Show-Me Institute has become aware that some political activists have linked its research to a particular side in these political debates, and so it has become necessary to issue this press release as clarification that the institute's judicial selection research is more limited and qualified than it has been portrayed.
SAINT LOUIS - The licensing of occupations in Missouri could be could be costing consumers more for some services, according to a new case study being released by the Show-Me Institute. Although a nationwide survey by the Reason Foundation last year listed Missouri as the state with the fewest statewide occupational licensing requirements, many occupations are still subject to unnecessary restrictions on who may enter the profession. This drives up prices and can, in many cases, spur business owners to locate elsewhere.
SAINT LOUIS - The Missouri public pension system currently faces serious long-term financial challenges, according to a new study released by the Show-Me Institute. The study's author, Richard C. Dreyfuss, an actuary and pension expert, points out that Missouri taxpayers are facing compound problems regarding the state's ability to manage effectively both defined benefit public pension and retiree medical liabilities. While current payments to retirees are not in jeopardy, the emerging cost patterns to both current and future members and taxpayers will be predicated upon future asset growth and favorable health care cost trends, both of which present significant risks to taxpayers.
The Show-Me Institute is excited to announce a new ongoing book review contest, targeted to Missouri college students and college-age non-students. The contest is intended to encourage the appraisal and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of the ideas of liberty, and will feature books both classic and current that focus on the economics and philosophy of freedom.
SAINT LOUIS — The Show-Me Institute released its 2007 annual report today, presenting a detailed look at its second full year of operations. The report presents a summary of the year's major accomplishments in each of the institute's six research areas: taxes, education, corporate welfare, health care, privatization, and red tape. It also provides a look at some of the institute's other accomplishments, including its youth outreach program, media coverage, and academic influence.
SAINT LOUIS - Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What makes a perfect parent? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? These are questions that Steven D. Levitt asks in his controversial, critically acclaimed book FREAKONOMICS: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything. Levitt will expand on his book's inquisitive premise during an address on Tuesday, Sept. 23, at Saint Louis University.
A new policy study from the Show-Me Institute examines the varying systems of judicial selection found throughout the United States. Asking the question, "Is the 'Missouri Plan' Good for Missouri?" the study considers the state's method of merit-based selection for Supreme Court judges in comparison both to the similar systems and alternate selection methods used elsewhere.
SAINT LOUIS - A new online application created by Justin Hauke, a policy analyst with the Show-Me Institute, provides Missouri families with a series of free and useful tools for comparing public schools across the state. Students, parents, school administrators, teachers, legislators, and other citizens now have a resource for better understanding academic performance in Missouri.
COLUMBIA - The Show-Me Institute has opened a satellite office in Columbia, Mo., allowing it to expand its operations in central Missouri. The institute already had ties to the area; Michael Podgursky, a member of the institute's board of directors, is an economics professor at the University of Missouri Columbia, as is Joseph Haslag, the institute's executive vice president.
SAINT LOUIS - Nobody likes to pay taxes, but no matter where you live or work, some level of taxation is a certainty. Not all locations are the same, though. Sometimes, moving just a few miles down the road may have a significant effect on how much of your own money you get to keep.
SAINT LOUIS - A new study, jointly produced by the Show-Me Institute and the Reason Foundation, examines the relatively new funding paradigm of public-private partnerships and how such arrangements may benefit Missouri's public transportation infrastructure. The study provides an overview of the types of public-private partnerships that can be utilized for transportation projects, including their benefits and best practices, and responses to common concerns. It also explores how public-private partnerships can be used not only to upgrade, modernize, and expand Missouri's road and bridge network, but also to improve the delivery of transit services.
JEFFERSON CITY - On Wednesday, Feb. 13, Show-Me Institute policy analyst Dave Roland testified before the Missouri House Special Committee on Student Achievement and Senate Pensions, Veterans Affairs & General Laws. Roland considered common objections to tuition tax credit programs that are raised on constitutional grounds, but argued that tax credits do not constitute a grant of public funds, and therefore would not run afoul of religion-related constitutional restrictions.
SAINT LOUIS - A new policy study from the Show-Me Institute considers whether light-rail transit is a worthwhile investment for Kansas City. The study, Review of Kansas City Transit Plans, analyzes recent proposals and, in the process, repudiates many of light rail's presumed benefits as a transit solution. The study also makes recommendations for ways in which Kansas City can address its transit needs in a fiscally responsible manner.
JEFFERSON CITY - On January 17 at 9:30 a.m., the Missouri Supreme Court will hear arguments in City of Arnold v. Tourkakis. This case will decide whether the Missouri Constitution still offers property owners any meaningful protection against municipalities seeking to give their homes, businesses, or houses of worship to commercial developers.
SAINT LOUIS — Today, the Show-Me Institute released a policy study about the fiscal effects of tuition tax credits in Missouri. Tax credit programs have helped to reduce inequality of educational access in states where they have been adopted. In many cases, they have also helped save taxpayer dollars by lowering the per-student district costs of educating public school students.
SAINT LOUIS — A new policy study from the Show-Me Institute asks, "Should Missouri Eliminate the Individual Income Tax?" The study compares Missouri's relatively stagnant economy with states that do not levy individual income taxes, and concludes that altering or eliminating Missouri's individual income tax could well improve the state's economic condition.
SAINT LOUIS — The Show-Me Institute has released a new policy study about the abuses of eminent domain in Missouri, "The Specter of Condemnation: The Case Against Eminent Domain for Private Profit in Missouri," by Timothy B. Lee and Shaida Dezfuli.

1. Preheat the oven to 240°C/Gas 9. Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler and remove any blemishes or 'eyes'. Slice lengthwise into approx ½in/1cm thick rectangular chips.
2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the chips and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and leave aside for 10 minutes to dry.
3. Return the chips to the dry saucepan, cover with a lid and shake to ''rough up'' the edges of the chips - this roughness is important to the texture of the chips.
4. Spray a metal baking tray with Fry Light. Transfer the chips to the tray, spray lightly with Fry Light and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Drain them on absorbent kitchen paper and serve with salt and vinegar.

Is there an easy, safe way to let people SSH out of a kiosk (e.g.,
I set up in Chamonix over the weekend)? e.g., for folks who prefer
connect to their ISP (or UCD) server and run Mutt/Pine/etc. to check
I obviously don't want to just give away a bash prompt. :^) I guess
an "xterm -e ssh $user@$host" (with those being asked via a KDE

something) might do.
Before I accidentally punch a gaping hole in the box, though, I
thought I'd
ask for suggestions here. ;^)

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Nemanja Vidic will return to the Manchester United squad for Saturday's encounter with Sunderland.
Vidic has been out since September following another bout of knee surgery and, while Ferguson has not decided whether to start with the Serbian at Old Trafford, he confirmed it was a major boost to have him back.
"Nemanja is back in the squad," said Ferguson. "He is a top defender and our captain."

OverviewMeade Peak is an important peak to county highpointers and prominence peak chasers alike. It is the county highpoint for both Bear Lake and Caribou counties and has 2497 feet of prominence, making it the 46th most prominent peak in Idaho. Idaho has 100 peaks that qualify for the 2000 feet of prominence list.
Meade Peak is also notable since it is the highest point in the Peale Mountains and the second highest peak south of the Snake River. It only misses being a ten thousand footer by 43 feet. Meade is also the highest point in the Pruess Range, part of the Peale Mountain system. Strangely, the peak was named for General George Meade, who fought in the United States Civil War. (see link)
Getting ThereThere are several ways to access this peak but the way most people have done it is via the right hand fork of Georgetown Canyon. I will provide directions for this as this is the way I went in.
From Montpelier Idaho, drive north to the small town of Georgetown. (Or from Soda Springs heading south)
Using a combination of fellow county highpointer Jobe Wymore's directions for the most part with a few additions of my own interspersed, this will get you to the end of the road and the jumping off point:
From the center of Georgetown on Hwy 30 look for the green sign that is going to point you into Georgetown Canyon. The sign can be viewed regardless of whether you come from the South or the North. From Hwy. 30 hit your odometer and at 2.4 miles the pavement will turn to dirt. The road sort of splits at this point with signs indicating that if you were to go left at this split you would be going on FR095 and if you just continue straight you will be on FR102. Just keep on heading straight on 102 and at around 0.8 miles from where the pavement ended look for a road (topozone link) that drops down to the right and take this little side road and hit your odometer again. This road has another fork in a short bit but keep to the right as you are now beginning the right hand fork of Georgetown Canyon.
This road gets narrower as you get farther along it (it's not the type of road you want to take a vehicle on if you like the paint job) and roughs up the farther you get, too. Some passenger cars could get about 1.5 miles up with no problem but after that, the road gets much rougher. Muddy sections will intimidate you if you hit this area after a rain but the road has a bottom. Having 4WD and high clearance is a must. A pair of loppers might be a worthwhile addition to your arsenal and you could stop and lop off the worst of the vegetation that could nail your paint but you'd be stopping and lopping alot. Still....
At 2.2 miles from the point where you turned onto Right Fork Road the road will split. Take the right split which is in a lot better shape. At 2.7 miles you will pass a some green cattle watering troughs (topozone link) and at 3 miles you will go by a White Pass Trail sign (topozone)on the right side of the road. A small area to park is off to the left. Just keep heading up the main track until you reach a little clearing at 3.8 miles. The clearing will be marked with a fire ring made of white rocks just to the left off the road. You have reached the end of the road and although an ATV track goes on past the clearing, you can take your vehicle no further (not that you'd probably want to. Another small track goes to the right and goes to an old mine (not visited by us)
Congratulations, you have made it. The rest of the info you will need will be in the soon to be developed route directions.
There are other ways to access this peak and here is the way Ken Jones went in:
Date: July 30, 2000
Author: Ken Jones
From US Hwy. 89, two miles south of Afton, Wyoming, take Wyoming route 236 to the west (this junction is at virtual milepost 82.9). At 2.6 miles, reach a stop sign. Continue straight ahead; the road becomes county route 142. At 3.5 miles reach a "T" intersection; turn left on Crow Creek road. Follow the main Crow Creek road, which starts paved but becomes well-graded gravel. Cross the border into Idaho at about 7.4 miles. There is a junction to the right near here, and several more along the way. It is obvious which is the main road, which runs up the Crow Creek valley. (This valley had the highest concentration of bluebirds we have ever seen, as well as a number of kestrels.)
Just beyond the Clear Creek guard station, at about 20.5 miles, find Forest Road 698 on the right. This looks unpromising, and would be tough if it were wet, but I managed to nurse my Accord over the ruts and through the sandy patches in both directions. Drive this road, staying on the main route where tracks head off, for 2.2 miles. A less-major fork goes right here. You can walk it, or drive some or all of it with high clearance; it will go about 1/3 mile before reaching a turnaround loop. Beyond here it is trail. This point is at about 7200' elevation. (We drove another 0.15 mile or so, and found the point where FR 698 drops steeply into the Beaver Dam Creek drainage. You'd want 4WD to be comfortable about getting back up this hill. At the bottom of the hill is a sign for trail 114, the Beaver Dam Creek trail. We walked this, willow-bashing along the creek, until we reached the end of the "less-major fork" described above. We walked the road on the way back.)
Hike the trail up Beaver Dam Creek. In its lower reaches (until about 9000') it is heavily used by cattle, and very dusty (or probably muddy, at wetter times of the year). The trail is shown on the Meade Peak quadrangle, but not on the quad to the north. For reference, it follows the creek to about 8300' ("Creek" on the map), then heads to the right up the ridge north of the creek. It drops NE to the SW slope of the canyon which contains "8600" and heads for the saddle just west of point 8900'+. Before it gets there, it heads up and left steeply, circling around "32" and picking up the ridge trending WSW. It follows this ridge, generally on top or just S, to about 9550', where it contours over to saddle 9548' and drops slightly to meet the trail on the map (which is the Snowdrift Mountain Trail). The Beaver Dam Creek trail is well defined to about 9000'; above there look for an off-and-on track and blazes where there are trees. Upon reaching the Snowdrift Mountain Trail, note where this junction is for your return trip (it's not obvious on the way back). Then turn left and hike down into upper Meade Basin. Find a good spot to head toward the north ridge of Meade Peak (there are ATV tracks in the vicinity), and follow the ridge to the peak. The ridge is class 1 to 2 all the way there; you can go around or through the craggy bits. No register was found or left.
Round trip: About 11 to 12 miles, 2800' net gain, 3100' total gain, 7 h 30 m.
I noted in the register that a few parties mentioned coming up another way and perhaps others will post their route information for these other ways in. For me, thanks to my Tacoma pickup truck, the right hand fork of Georgetown Canyon worked fine.
UPDATE 2009: See Tracy's comments HERE.
It is also noted that the iron rods and register have disappeared from the summit cairn.
Red TapeNo red tape at all.
Concerns about the area during fire season or road conditions might be
directed to the US Forest service:
322 North Fourth St.
Montpelier, Idaho 83254
More information can be found HERE.
CampingIt is possible to car camp at the end of the road. You'll note a fire ring where the road ends (and an ATV trail begins) I just sleep in my truck so I didn't look for where a tent spot would be handy. Many people could drive the road, park, and hike the peak and drive back out on the same day. Motels are available in Soda Springs and Montpelier. Campgrounds nearby as shown on
the map of Idaho (Benchmark) are Summit View (left hand fork of Georgetown
Canyon)and Montpelier Canyon campground east of Montpelier off of US 89. A
KOA is just a bit east of Montpelier on US 89.

Surface morphology changes of sub-micron tipped tungsten needles (W.N.) and an engineered fine-grain tungsten (FGW) were studied after implantation with He ions at reactor relevant conditions. Surface and subsurface pore formation was observed on all of the samples by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) milling. Additionally, helium retention analysis was performed on the FGW and compared to several previously studied W materials.Three samples of FGW were irradiated with 30 keV 3He ions to 3×1017 He+/cm2 at 700 °C, 9×1017 He+/cm2 at 850 °C, and 1×1019 He+/cm2 at 1050 °C. SEM analysis revealed that the threshold for visible pore formation was below ~1018 He+/cm2. The sample irradiated to the highest fluence showed "coral-like" morphology on the surface, and FIB analysis showed that the sub-surface semi-porous layer extended almost one micron below the surface. The percentage of implanted helium retained in the samples ranged from 4.5-40%.Two W.N. were implanted with 100 keV 4He ions to conditions of 3×1018 He+/cm2 at 700 °C and 1.3x1019 He+/cm2 at 1000 °C. Extensive pore formation was observed on both specimens. FIB analysis revealed that a sub-surface semi-porous layer developed after ion implantation that extended ~300 nm in the W.N. implanted to the lower dose, and over 1500 nm in the needle implanted to the higher dose. This second needle also exhibited a drastic morphology change, which appears to be a result of the unraveling of the grains at the tip.

TEMPLE, Ariz. - The Holy Cross baseball team dropped a 15-0 decision to No. 5 Arizona State on Thursday night at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium. With the loss, the Crusaders fall to 0-6 on the season while the Sun Devils improve to 9-1 overall. Sophomore centerfielder Brendan McCrea (Hicksville, N.Y.) had a 2-for-3 day at the plate.
After two scoreless innings, ASU's offense heated up as Torrez reached first base on a one-out walk and then advanced to second base on a single by Newman. Advancing both runners on a wild pitch, MacPhee was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Kipnis hit a sacrifice fly out to left field, scoring Torrez, making the score 1-0. After a scoreless fourth inning, the Sun Devils put four more runs on the board in the fifth inning, taking a 5-0 lead. ASU scored three runs in the sixth inning, four in the seventh and three in the eighth inning to close out the game with a 15-0 home victory.
The Crusaders return to action on Friday, March 6, with a game against No. 5 Arizona State at 8:30 p.m.(ET)

Rinko Kawauchi
Rinko Kawauchi has gained international recognition for her nuanced, lushly colored images that offer closely observed fragments of everyday life. In her latest work, she shifts her attention from the micro to the macro. The title, Ametsuchi, is comprised of two Japanese characters meaning "heaven and earth," and is taken from the title of one of the oldest pangrams in Japanese—a chant in which each character of the Japanese syllabary is used. Translated loosely as "Song of the Universe," it offers a list that includes the heavens, earth, stars, and mountains. In Ametsuchi, Kawauchi brings together images of distant constellations and tiny figures lost within landscapes, as well as photographs of a traditional style of controlled-burn farming (noyaki) in which the cycles of cultivation and recovery span decades and generations. Punctuating the series are images of Buddhist rituals and other religious ceremonies—a suggestion of other means by which humankind has traditionally attempted to transcend time and memory.
The series is her first to be fully realized with a medium-format, 4 x 5–inch camera, instead of the 2 ¼–inch format for which she has become best known. And while her work has frequently touched on the ephemeral, often using tiny details as a point of access to the larger cycles of life, with this new body of work she purposely concentrates on the elemental and universal.
This exhibition is coproduced by Aperture Foundation and ROSEGALLERY.
It is made possible with the generous support of Susan Steinhauser and Daniel Greenberg.
Aperture has North American touring rights.

Starting today, Hyperdesk.com is no longer supporting Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.
It's old people. It's outdated. It breaks everything. It doesn't support transparent image files called .PNG which we now use on our website. Get rid of it.
You will start seeing weird whitish images for product titles, prices and buy buttons. That's because you're using IE 6 and we're using transparent .PNG images.
It's time to switch and embrace a new, updated browser. Here are some suggestions...
Mozilla FireFox: An incredible browser with tons of interesting plug-ins and themes. My personal favorite. It even has a plug-in called IE Tab that renders Internet Explorer within the browser so all you have to do is click an icon and it converts the page into Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer 8: Microsoft's latest and greatest browser.
There are others like Opera, Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome. All download worthy. Just search for them if you want to try them out.
For you webmasters out there who want to rid the world of IE 6 here is a great site for you: No More IE 6

text: Off the heels of JC's "red-hot" pre-Wrestlemania promo about the Rock, I just thought the fact that he complains about the Rock becoming a movie "star" just seems a bit hypocritical. When the Rock left,he not only left the Wrestling business,but he also created a bridge between Hollywood and Sports Entertainment that was alot more legitimate than the Hogans, DDPs,Jesse Venturas and others before him. It was because of the Rock that Vince Mcmahon started putting his name in producer credits in films,and the eventual [horrendous] idea of WWE films studios came about. Even John Cena's foray into motion picture has roots in the Rock's success and when Vinnie Mac and Rocky had a falling out over "The Rock" name, John Cena became not only the WWE posterboy,but it's own attempt at the home grown action hero. IF Cena was a huge hit in "the Marine" and "12 Rounds" would he really have stayed around to be a sports entertainer? His matches have been sub-par for the most of his career, so why the hell wouldn't he want to be the next Rock in Hollywood? So Rocky left to be a movie star, but wasn't John Cena hoping to do the same? If things were different, wouldn't we be encouraged to "never give up", "hustle,loyalty and respect" and "rise above hate" via satellite by John "Hollywood" Cena?

"We used these cards for our wedding thank-you cards, and we got so many compliments! I've visited the homes of some of our guests and they still have the cards on display because of the quality of the beautiful photo. We used a picture that my friend shot and posted on her Instagram account, but the quality of the printing and the cards made the shot look like a million bucks :)"
"We ordered these thank you cards for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with them. They turned out perfect and I love the postcard option, makes things so much easier."
"Very nice design and looked great with our picture. The designer was even able to adjust a mountain that was covering my dress! Only downside is the cards are a little small."
"Our thank you cards turned out beautiful!! The photo quality and colors are perfect. All four photos are very vibrate with the actual colors from the photos! We couldn't be happier with what we ordered. All of our products that we ordered from wedding paper divas turned out amazing! We got lots of compliments on our save the date cards, wedding invitations and will probably get lots of compliments on our thank you cards when our guests receive them!!"
"I love that I put my picture on the postcard. It was like designing my own postcard. I also was pleasantly surprised how much text you could type on it. I liked the design so much I put the postcards in envelopes so they didn't get messed up by the post office."

Balance: Evelyn
Creative people can sometimes be susceptible to an internal tug of war between the purity of their craft; it's organic creative expression, and monetary success – as if the two are somehow diametrically opposed. This tug of war can also have in tow the questions of where your creative gifts belong and whether we should rely on spiritual things or just the skill in the use of our...Read More

It wasn't until I listened to Jeff and Julie talk on creativity that my mind was opened to new thoughts on process; lifestyle; resolution. My worldview was given a space to voice itself.

Crazy Beautiful: Sam

We both have a creative mind, and regardless of how brilliant or not our creativity may be, it is valuable, because the creative...Read More

Do you consider yourself to be an "expert" in a certain area? If so, could you easily say that you've practiced this skill for more than 10,000 hours? Our textbook has only touched on this subject, but once I saw the magic number (10,000) when reading about IQ, I knew that the mind behind the quote was Malcolm Gladwell.
In his book, Outliers: The Story of Success, Gladwell writes about how one simply becomes just that: an outlier. For most, simply being average doesn't cut it. Most people like to feel indispensible and unique, so in effect, they strive to be an outlier.
This book, which is a must read, explains that being a "genius" isn't solely inherited. What we believe are geniuses today in their respective fields, such as Bill Gates and The Beatles, really started out in the same position as everyone else, just average. Sure, they have natural talent, but what set them above everyone else is their dedication and diligence. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who wants to read this amazing story of success, but what did Bill Gates and The Beatles do to become masters of their domain? They worked and worked at it for more than 10,000 hours.

Kirk Smith does a great job of explaining the importance of addressing emissions of all greenhouse gases rather than focusing exclusively on carbon dioxide (27 June, p 24).
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, rice produces 19 per cent of global calories for its 34 megatonnes of methane, while ruminants produce just 1.7 per cent of global calories for 107 megatonnes.
Rice frequently feeds people who have few other choices, while big consumers of red meat generally have lots of food options. Beef in particular is also responsible for much of the world's deforestation. The best course of action is clear: if it were not for the unhealthy and undue influence of the red meat industries on decision-makers in wealthy countries, that action would be immediate.

Interpol is the international authority for the pursuit of trans-border fugitives. In the United States, the U.S. Marshals Service is the primary law enforcement agency that tracks down federal fugitives, though the Federal Bureau of Investigation also tracks fugitives.
Mencken's The American Language and The Thesaurus of American Slang proclaim that lam, lammister, and "on the lam" — all referring to a hasty departure — were common in thieves' slang before the turn of the Twentieth Century. Mencken quotes a newspaper report on the origin of 'lam' which actually traces it indirectly back to Shakespeare's time.
Its origin should be obvious to anyone who runs over several colloquial phrases for leavetaking, such as 'beat it' and 'hit the trail'. The allusion in 'lam' is to 'beat,' and 'beat it' is Old English, meaning 'to leave.' During the period of George Ade's 'Fables in Slang' (1900), cabaret society delight in talking slang, and 'lam' was current. Like many other terms, it went under in the flood of new usages of those days, but was preserved in criminal slang. A quarter of a century later it reappeared.
The Sage of Baltimore also quotes a story from the New York Herald Tribune in 1938 which reported that "one of the oldest police officers in New York said that he had heard "on the lam" thirty years ago."

Peacock paid price to reclaim his spot
Posted: August 9, 2012 at 4:54 a.m.
Arkansas offensive tackle Jason Peacock didn't want to go into details about the grueling work he had to perform to earn his way back onto the field following his on-campus arrest for theft last spring.

Young Mr. Peacock appears to be accepting responsibility for his action. In today's society all to many folks attempt to shift responsibility from themselves to others. This includes some of our so called "leaders." Choices we make have consequences, some good, some bad. Keep up the good work, Mr. Peacock, you will find it really pays dividends in the long run.

The Federal Government and the 36 states across the federation yesterday met in Abuja to further strengthen the existing partnership aimed at addressing the security challenges in the country.
The meeting organised by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) brought together federal and state security administrators to deliberate on human security and trafficking, economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community as well as political security.
Permanent Secretary Special Services Office of the SGF, Mrs. Esther Gonda who is also chairperson of the meeting said participants will discuss the challenges posed by hunger and the breakdown of values to national life in Nigeria.
Gonda said for Nigeria to develop, people need to feel safe walking on the streets and must feel protected from any loss to life and property as well as traditional values and culture.
She said the meeting will "discuss and see how we can go back to our states and apply them."
The session, which has all representatives of the security agencies, will focus on human trafficking, with input from National Agency for Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Other Related Matters (NAPTIP) on the state of human trafficking in the country.
She lamented the growing incidence of human trafficking both locally and internationally, stressing that government is working seriously and will continue to collaborate with states across the country to address the menace.
"The United States' report on the state of human trafficking states that more than 800, 000 men, women and children are being trafficked across the International borders annually.
"Approximately 80 percent of this figure is women and girls while up to 50 percent are minors. Majority of the transnational victims are engaged in sexual exploitation," she said.
Gonda said the victims were at times even taken to other West Africa countries with worse economic conditions than Nigeria.

Well, I lasted 23 days until this Lush review which was exactly what Chelsey predicted. Good call! Last month, I found myself stranded in Reading due to flooding. What else could I do but pop into Lush?
Rose Jam Bubbleroon
Right, let's get this out of the way. The name really, really annoys me. It's supposed to look like a macaron, so it should be called a bubbleron. Not bubbleroon as in macaroon. Macaroons are not the pretty pastel confections! Ok, rant over. Also, I know exactly what you're all thinking. Yes, it looks horrifically yonic to me too! That aside, I love this bubble bar! I'm not usually a fan of rose scents but I figured I'd try something new and give it a go. It's lovely! You just twist it in half (it twists apart really easy) and pop half in. I found that it creates the perfect amount of bubbles, and it has a lovely sweet rose scent. It's not as floral as a true rose- It definitely has something a little sweeter in it, which may be the lemon. Although it claims that shea butter and coconut oil makes your skin soft and smooth, I didn't notice a huge difference in this area. It's worth it alone for the fragrance though!
Sunnyside Bubble Bar
Look how pretty! It's so gold and shiny- I love it! In the bath, it creates glittery swirls of gold and loads of citrus-scented bubbles. The fragrance isn't particularly strong but it's certainly still noticeable and has a lovely uplifting mood to it. Be careful though- it made my bath really slippery!
The Godmother Soap
Now this is what Lush was made for! It's ah-ma-zing! The Godmother has the same pear drop and candyfloss fragrance as Snow Fairy and, my goodness, it's incredible. I want to eat it all up (Yeah, I wouldn't actually recommend that!). The fragrance is really powerful. I have this soap sitting on the side of my bath and it fills the whole room. It lathers really well and lasts for ages too. This is what I'll be using to curb my Snow Fairy cravings until Christmas!
Ceridwen's Cauldron
I love the novelty of this bath melt- It's in a little muslin pouch that you can keep afterwards to use as a washcloth. It also smells absolutely delicious- a warming, soothing scent that reminded me a little of chocolate orange. It has that sort of enveloping richness. Filled with oats, it releases oat milk and cocoa butter, but I didn't actually find this had any effect on the softness of my skin. It's a shame as it smells so lovely!
This bath ballistic sounds absolutely perfect for me- Tonka and vanilla. Mmm, vanilla and caramel! Unfortunately, it smells nothing like you'd expect. It's just a very subtle- almost negligible- scent and has no redeeming qualities: It's not moisturising, it doesn't create bubbles and it doesn't turn the bath water an incredible colour. I don't really understand the hype.
