In this course, Dennis Taylor shows how to analyze and communicate the value of data with charts in Excel. The course starts with the foundations: what the parts of a chart are, what the different types of charts are, and which charts work best for your data. The course then shows how to create a presentation-ready chart in minutes and offers dozens of in-depth tutorials on formatting and fine-tuning charts so they represent data clearly and accurately.
Line charts are invariably mentioned as the kinds of charts that you would want to use if you're trying to show a trend, or sometimes the lack of a trend. In the examples that we are seeing here are two full charts and a portion of a chart to the right, three different kinds of line charts showing different kinds of data. As you look at line charts, one thing that might not have occurred to you is that the ratio of height to width can skew your impression of what actually is happening in the data. We will talk about that in more detail in a bit.
We also want to point out the difference, as I scroll rightward here, that in that purple background chart, the one that says Domestic Sales, the lines are as they would normally appear. Maybe we would call them jagged for want of a better term, but the lines connect point to point. That's default setting in Excel. The chart to the right, however, has the lines looking much smoother. They're curved as we move from point to point. Those points, by the way, are very small. You've got control over the points. You've got control over the curving, it's actually called smoothing, and also the thickness of lines has some bearing as well too.
There are a lot of different ways to control these. One simple difference on the middle chart here, Domestic Sales, if I want the lines to be thicker, one approach could be on the design tab, make one of the many chart style choices. Maybe I like this one. On the other hand, maybe that's too thick. Maybe it isn't. But we have got our choices here. Easy to get to. That might be just fine. If you were to right-click here, you could go to Format Data Series and control the thickness that way. Once again these are features that no doubt you've seen at different times. This would be under Line Style.
You control the thickness. I will make that bigger. I will just change that 5 to an 8 and as soon as we press Enter, you will see what happens. So that may or may not be what you want to do at different times. Now let's talk about the idea here that you might want this to appear to be smoother. Let's do a right-click again here, and that may contribute to the idea that maybe we want it to be thinner. Let's do the smoothing first, but we will change our minds as we try these different features. And we are talking here about the line style, and there is that choice Smoothed line, and you see what's happening in the background. And while we are here, if we want to revert to a thinner line, we will go up to the Width up top and change that to something smaller.
As I'm clicking the arrows here, you can see that getting thinner. That may or may not be what you need to do. While we are here, let's talk about the Marker Line Style, or the Marker Fill, the Marker Options here. We could go to Built-in here. Here is the diamond that we are currently seeing that, but you might choose another one and you can fill it in. That's the default. We see that to the left. And the diamond might be just fine. Some people like the X, but decide which one you might want there. You see the difference. We will go back to the other one, a diamond, and you can of course choose different colors.
Here's where you adjust the size. I'll click this. Maybe that will look better if we choose a smaller size marker. So quite a few choices there too. Now with this chart and the chart to the left what if we ignore for the moment the title and just imagine suppose there isn't really Sales. Maybe it has to do with increased reports of crime or maybe some kind of an absentee report. I know the numbers are quite large, but if we make this chart a lot wider, now at some point perhaps people are going to say 'why is it that wide?' so you don't always want to draw attention to it.
But there's no denying that the numbers here are increasing over time. But as I press Ctrl+Z here and go back to the previous setting a couple of times, what if I were to make that chart taller? Well, obviously it's going up. It's pretty erratic, some jumps up and down. But that tells a different story than had we kept the chart this way. Let me get the other one out of the way too. So we are talking about exactly the same data but a different impression. And maybe on this chart here Domestic Sales-- I will move it around a little bit-- watch this one if we make it a lot wider.
Now if we were trying to report something was negative, like maybe that was lack of participation in a certain program or something, it's going up, so it's a negative kind of trend, even though it's going up. We might want to hide that a little bit by flattening out the line charge. On the other hand, if we were trying to show increased participation or increased sales or profits, let's take that same chart and make it be a lot taller. Even though it's got some ups and downs in it, I think you can see, as I press Ctrl+Z to go back to the previous chart, Ctrl+Y back and forth here, you can begin to see how the same data, when displayed differently in a line chart using a different height-to-width ratio, sometimes called the aspect ratio, you in effect are telling a different story.
If you did want to continue to accentuate the change here moving upward, you could also right-click on the axis here and format the axis and start the axis, for example, at 80. Go to the Minimum value here, choose Fixed. The first item in that chart is 80. As I press Close here, watch that chart to the left--even steeper looking. And we could also clip off the top too to make it even steeper. So again pressing Ctrl+Z to move back a bit here, you can see how the same data certainly can look different with a different display of the aspect ratio in a line chart.
The Smoothing, as we mentioned earlier, is something you may or may not want to use. Perhaps it accentuates the trend. It could have been used on the larger chart here. Right-click on the line, Format Data Series, and on the Line Style here, Smoothed line, and you see it happening already. There too. You want to experiment freely with the aspect ratio and these various approaches to making the line chart look the way you think it looks best.

@d_bizzz Good to hear
ON CREDIAR'S TWITTERUNEEK+DI working
By copying only the \shared2 folder contents from my slow chunky original nand I was able to bring back my own internet settings onto the fast Nand that I wanted, bingo, all the internet settings worked with no 110210 error !!
I'm one step closer to creating a perfect sneek Nand
Thanks again for your help Cile
@d_bizzz Good to hear
ON CREDIAR'S TWITTERUNEEK+DI working
ok so i have now been working on this on and off for weeks now but just cant seem to get it to work i can get sneek to work but when i try uneek it wont load and the led on my drive doesn't blink like it is being accessed. Im on SM 4.2 with bootmii installed as IOS cause that is all i have available, Im using a 1TB WD caviar green in an enclosure. The drive has worked perfectly for everything else on the wii including TriForce and uloader for nand loading. i have used the installer and compiled myself to no avail. i also have priiloader installed but i first took it off my dump and have created virgin dumps since. I have also check the bootmii.ini file and it is configured properly i have tried to follow multiple guides and have even tried mixing and matching. any ideas/pointers would be greatly appreciated. and my fat32 partition is set to primary so i know its not that
is it fat32 the first partition could be that.....check with a usb flash drive just to see if its working...etc
use the old sneek installer ro get r102......the new r106 doesnt work for me either
Well i guess my problem is now just getting my HDD reformatted i have only one and i have a wbfs on it as my first partition. ill figure it out thanks soooo much for all the help. As i said earlier this has been driving me nuts for what seems like forever now. I think the reason that the self compiled one didn't work is cause i used the r106 source code to build it.Thanks Again
SNEEK is at r109 NOW
R107 Important note:
All SNEEK related files have been moved to /sneek i.e.:
/boot2.bin is now /sneek/kernel.bin
-changed boot2.bin to /sneek/kernel.bin
-changed boot2.bin to /sneek/kernel.bin
-changed font.bin to /sneek/font.bin
-fixed a small bug in ES_DIVerify
-fixed some castings
-SMenu now shows UNEEK when using UNEEK in the banner
-added an Ioctlv for DI support
-updated linker script to IOS80
-removed unused code
-added ISFS functions
-added DIGlue which automatically uses USB or SD(UNEEK DI support)
-replaced all file system related functions by DIGlue functions
-Added FS.c/h DIGlue.c./h
-improved the VI patch(should work for all games now)
-improved the diconfig.bin's size sanity check
-fixed a bug in DVDReadDir which always skipped the last entry
i wasnt able to set it up with just a FAT32 because I have a 1 TB drive which as far as i know is bigger then what you can do with FAT 32 (i thought something like 400-500G was as big as you can do) what i decided to do was put a 15G FAT 32 32K cluster as my first partition on my drive and then i did the rest up as NTFS for movies and games and what not. Then i tried to use uneek again and it still wont boot just out of curiosity does anyone out there have sneek running on a WD Caviar Green if you already know that it wont work please let me know so i can give up on this exercise in futility. or if it work let me know so i can go back and figure out what i did wrong again.

LONDON - The 17-country eurozone has bowed to the inevitable and fallen back into recession for the first time in three years as a sprawling debt crisis took its toll on the region's stronger economies.
Markets breathed a huge sigh of relief Friday after Europe's leaders agreed on a series of measures they hope will help contain the continent's crippling debt crisis.
LONDON - The debt crisis that has ravaged Europe for the best part of three years has exposed a dislike of the single currency but little desire to abandon it, a wide-ranging survey of public opinion found Tuesday.
ONDON — Stock markets extended gains and the euro struck a two-month high against the dollar Thursday after the Greek Prime Minister's office said a deal has been struck with coalition parties on new cuts that are necessary for the country to get crucial bailout funds.

MCMS Resources
SharePoint Resources
We sometimes see customers running into problems when using the "Sign in as Different User" feature in SharePoint.
Common problems are
The Sign in as Different User functionality is not meant to be used as a security feature! This feature allows users which have more than one AD account to quickly login with a different account to SharePoint - but it does not guarantee that no artefacts from the previous user remain!
If you have to guarantee that one user cannot see data from a different user you have to logoff/logon in Windows. Don't use the Sign in as a different user.
I've seen issues with this too, and that's why I always like to use IE's InPrivate Browsing feature to help keep things seperate when I need this functionality.
I have a lot of problems with IE9 and Sign in as Different User..
Stefan, is there any deep-dive type documentation on precisely how the "Sign in as Different User" feature works under the hood? Is there any documentation regarding known issues related to using this feature in IE7, IE8 or IE9?
Whether or not documentation exists, can you provide some technical details regarding your comment "but it does not guarantee that no artefacts from the previous user remain"?
Hi Craig,
I don't have a complete list of things. The sign in as different user is actually an artificial 401 response to request credentials from the client machine. That gives you the dialog to logon with other credenitals. But (e.g.) the cookies and session variables filled by the previous user account are still there. Web parts might rely on these and show information for the previous user rather than the new based on the info in cookie and session variables.
But these are just examples.
In general: there is not a complete list and if you need to separate users, login as different users on your browser machine.
As always, I appreciate your reply.
I agree that your solution to "log in as different users on [the] browser machine" would definitively prevent any potential related conflicts given the discussed scenario. With this said, having users log in to Windows each time they wish to switch users within SharePoint is not always feasible or desirable especially considering that the functionality exists. I understand what you are saying about cookies and sessions, however I can think of numerous scenarios where the "Sign in as a Different User" is commonly used. For example, consider a boardroom collaboration setting with a group of people, a single PC, and a projector or large screen.
Would it be possible for MSFT to publish a white paper that communicates the known scenarios where "Sign in as a Different User" issues may surface for the SharePoint Administrator and Developer communities at large? It would be advantageous for all to have official guidance where specific log in and usability issues related to the "Sign in as a Different User" functionality may arise when using SharePoint.
Kind regards,
sorry - I'm the wrong audience to ask this question. First of all: I don't have a complete list. Second: I work in support and I'm not part of the product group designing the product.
My role is to assist customers in using the product and to help to use the product in the way it is designed - and that is what I was trying to do when publishing this blog post.
Thank you for your reply - your post and comments are much appreciated.
For technical guidance purposes, I ask that you please forward this post internally through the appropriate channels and request clarity from the product group. I would like to respectfully request that technical documentation be made publicly available related to known issues with the "Sign in as a Different User" feature within SharePoint.
Hi Craig,
I would need an active support case to leverage such channels.
So if this important for you, please open a support case to request such guidance.
There are support articles that exists on this topic. The main KB article provides 3 different options to address....although none are that appealing.
I prefer the first approach over the others.....only issue is it will get undone with hotfixes and upgrades if the js file is targeted in the install for updating. support.microsoft.com/.../en-us
Full KB: (Should be updated to include SP 2010)
Another issue with this feature is it will often get stuck on the other user - even after you use Login as another User to log back in as yourself. I'm in a situation right now where every new browser session it goes back to the "other" user and that's even after deleting cookies! I'm guessing that's why it was removed from 2013.
Is there a fix for going back to the "other" user yet? I'm having this problem now even though the cookies and my profile were deleted from the computer. It only occurs on the computer that was used for the different login. Any othe computer on the network is fine.
I have a problem ,I created a group with Full Controll permission in my subsite and stop inherit permission from parrent,
And the problem is the user have full control in that site but he cant create a publishing page , when he select publishing page from more optiopn-> pages- > publishing page ---- it shows sign in as different user .. (sharepoint 2010)
Hi Divya,
a Publishing page needs resources in the root site - e.g. the Content type and the page layout.
In General you should reduce rights from root to leaves and not vice versa.

2012 J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2012 J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon is sold out, but our 2013 vintage is available! Click here to learn more and to order.
Every vintage has its own personality; a unique history of climatic experience that shapes the flavor of the wine we taste in our glass. 2012 was preceded by two of the coldest vintages in a decade and was welcomed with open arms by vintners and growers in the Paso Robles region. Preseason rainfall was a bit on the shy side at 60% of normal, with a nice wet storm arriving at budbreak on the first week of April that brought welcome moisture for growth and suppressed chances of a spring frost. Our typically warm springtime conditions brought rapid shoot growth, and irrigation was stopped in our vineyards in mid-June to promote seed ripening and to prevent unwanted green, herbal characteristics in the fruit. A period of triple digit hot temperatures added definition to the vintage in mid-August towards the end of veraison. We believe this gave a general uptrend of tannin structure for the vintage as a whole. Ideal warm and dry September weather pushed us to full ripeness with most of the harvesting for Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon occurring on the earlier side, between October 4th and 20th.
The predominant fruit for our J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon comes from estate vineyards located directly opposite our J. Lohr Paso Robles Wine Center. The Seven Oaks vineyard was originally planted on its own rootstock, utilizing some of the original plantings from indigenous Estrella clones. The soils in our Paso Robles vineyards vary from gravelly clay loam to limestone-based soils over a relatively small parcel of land, and various rootstock and clonal combinations have been used to maximize the expression of each individual site. The different soil types and planting combinations add to the palate of the Seven Oaks Cabernet.

It is clearly NOT pay to win...
I love how people will sku definitions just to spin a topic in favor of their own opinion.
Pay to win is when the company themselves generates advantages through their own cash shop...
Items such as XP boosters, weapon boosters or just plain items of power are examples of pay to win items.
A RM auction house is player generated, meaning that someone has to find the item first... they are all in game for everyone to find and aquire, some people invest enormous amounts of time to get the item... some may find the item the first kill and just be really lucky... Some people may already have something better and choose to sell it.
Stop being such broke bitches, hell if you are reading these forums there is a chance that you are more of a dedicated player than 90% of the people who purchase the game and you will more than likely be one of the people putting in the time with opportunity to profit from the sale of an item.
If your fear is that the bots and farmers will "ruin" the game well they will be their own worst enemy, if they flood the market with items they lose value, you may be able to get a hard to find item relatively cheap, or you can always undercut them to bring the market down... eventually if it is not profitable for them (after buying the box, paying fees, and having to take the cash instantly upon sale) they will just go find some other game to invade.
If you feel that Blizzard is giving up and throwing their hands up in the air setting a bad precedent then take a look at the "war on drugs" the gaming industry doesn't stand a chance against the farmers out there because they have bigger guns and more manpower than the industry wants to invest to fight it.
You can gripe about this and say "the sky is falling" and "doom and gloom" are upon the industry but lets face it times they are a changing. I hope and pray every game company follows this trend, REALLY, for the simple reason is I can play a game and maybe put a little extra scratch in my pocket...
Stop crying, deal with it, it isn't going to change. Man up will ya....

We could be a dying breed, but more importantly we are the political-economic minority. There are more people out there willing to buy their way to an advantage (or having game design revolve around rmt) or are okay with that premise than there are those of us who would rather just game.
The bottom line is that we don't have the economic muscle to make the difference. The kind of gameplay we like is less profitable than the rmt model. We're never going to get back to game design model where you just play the game. It's not just MMOs, or mult-player lobby games like this. It's single player games. It's socially networked (Facebook) games. It's relentless and pervasive.

I also have trouble seeing anything massively "wrong" with this. I think Blizzard is fully realizing that they can't prevent the black market, so the only option they have is to legitimize it and at least profit and try to control it.
Sure there'll be people who claim it's pay 2 win, but that's like saying WoW is Pay 2 Win because you can buy gold from a farmer and get rare items off the auction house with that money.
Or are we actually splitting hairs here and deciding that if it's legitmized by the company it's "pay 2 win" and if there's a black market the game is occupying some moral high ground?

Yes, the game is occupying the moral high ground and the farmer and the fool buying gold are occupying the moral swamp

The RMAH is Blizzard trying to get their share of the profit from gold selling.
With the implementation of the RMAH people can farm items to vendor for gold and then they can sell that gold in the RMAH for real cash which can be withdrawn, all the while Blizzard charges an amount for ever real-money transaction that happens, whether or not the offer that was put up is taken.

I doubt I will ever use the in game rl transactions...but I can see why they are doing what they are doing. Truth be told, you really can't do anything about it. Times change just like everything else. You have to accept the fact that RL auctions will be apart of the gaming future (and past) and nothing you believe in or whatever will change that. People will complain about it until everyone just buckles down and accepts it for what it is.

Also by your logic every game must be pay to win then, because I can't think of one game out there where you can't go on a website and buy gold, powerlevel, items (when available) you just choose to accept that because it is not as visible or in your face, well cool your ego unless your that one guy that has never done anything in their life that wasn't outside the lines.
Again, buying power is only the case when you are purchasing an item that has no other means of obtaining other than real cash.
Lastly, what you are missing is the vocal minority is split on the subject so even if you manage to gather all 1/2 of them and decide to march on Blizzard and protest, your cries will fall on deaf ears as the silent majority and the other half of the vocal minority either doesn't care or really wants this.

There will always be people who pay for power in games, legal or not, so why not benefit from them and make a few bucks off of it. It's still going to be the same item grind for the people who want it to be.

This trend won't change. What the real issue is that how far is such a system acceptable? If you were to expand the term P2W then you could say that Gotham City Impostors (which offers DLC for 50% faster XP for unlocks) is a P2W game even though it's highly and purely a skill based FPS.
In D3 it should be called P2W-W. RMT in D3 improves the gaming experience for buyers and sellers and it doesn't affect anyone else. Nobody is losing due to D3 RMT. This is because D3 is designed to be a solo/small lobby game and if you actually join a public game you are aware that someone might be using a "storebrought" item. But this doesn't differ from D2 where people could still be using (against the rules bought items). The mentioned public games are CO-OP so you only benefit from playing with people who have spend money to improve their characters. So in the end it's a WIN-WIN-WIN system where the buyer/seller and the 3rd party (you playing with a heavy spender) benefits. Once the PvP is introduced in D3 I assume it could cause the game turning P2W but it's still capped at the best gear possible from finding within the game. There's no "external" buffing involved.
The whole shebang about GW2 cash shop system has only been an issue because these PvE buffs affect your WvWvW toons aswell. Meaning that people who pay more are winning more in PvP enviroment. That's a problem. In GW2 let's say you buy a 25% speed buff from the cash shop. You then face this enemy in WvWvW and notice he moves 25% faster because he paid and you didn't. This is stupid game breaking bad design and totally unacceptable.
Talking about P2W in PvE games is just silly, seriously.

It has nothing to do with P2W as far as I'm concerned. The problem is that real money is flowing in and OUT of the game now because players have been incentivized to turn it into a business. When all the good gear is being sold for real money, it doesn't leave much for those players who want to enjoy the actual game part of it and not go into business. They won't be able to trade for good stuff within the game and instead will be left with either paying money or doing without, if they want some rare item.
At least while it wasn't officially permitted, people purchasing on the black market ran the risk of losing something if they tried it. They could have their credit card compromised, their account hacked or their identity stolen. That tended to keep people with more than two brain cells to rub together, away from third party farmers. Now, those same farming scum will be operating within the game with impunity because Blizzard has given them the green light. Now everyone is a potential customer for them, not just the morons, because the risk has disappeared. And who can't lose under these conditions? Blizzard. It's all profit for them, no matter who is doing the buying and selling. This was not done with the players' interests in mind, only their own.
Now if this scheme was being pulled off by some unknown developer in Korea, I wouldn't care one bit. But because it's Blizzard, there's a real threat that others will copy the model. I can easily forego playing D3, but it's going to suck if others start following in their footsteps. I do not want to see my games turned into business endeavours for players. If they want to earn real money, get a job. Games should remain just that -- games.

I just want a game to be about the game and only the game. I don't want it to have an ulterior motive of selling you in-game stuff.
And I'm not totally draconian about this concept either. I don't mind, and would even support, companies releasing (reasonably priced) new content made AFTER RELEASE as paid DLC. To me, this is just like a "micro-expansion" and I see no issue with it.
I just don't like buying game-altering goods like in game money, exp boosts, etc.

I remember "back in the day" when I played Lineage and it was about all about the game. Now when I play a game it's rarely just about the game and I find that sad.
I'm not going to play D3 because the game doesn't really spark me. Having rmt be so central to the game is only one factor. There are other games out there that are less about shopping and more about gaming and I'll play those instead.

The stuff that you're selling for real cash would have been stuff that others would have been trading for in-game without this RMT model. Now that you and (I'm sure) most others can turn a buck on it, there's very little chance that anything worthwhile will be available for players who want no part of RMT. So they in fact have little choice in the matter. If they want some hard to get gear, they can play the lottery and hope for that rare drop (possibly waiting months without success), or they pony up real cash for it.
Sorry bud, that ain't no choice. You just don't see it because the situation currently caters to your preference. I mean, you have a choice too. You could always sell that ultra-rare drop for in-game gold instead of a decent wad of cash. What are the odds of that happening? Yeah, and that's what I think everyone else will be saying too. Hence, no trading for good gear unless you use real money.

some players will be buying their way to upgrade gear, Pay to Win style
yes, players have always done this in all mmos but its more annoying when the company is encouraging it

1. This game is not an MMO, so please stop comparing it to such. PTW is so much more of an issue in a straight up normal MMORPG. This game is far more single-playerish to warrant a comparison. (Yes I know what site we are on)
2. Do you remember the D2 auction house? Yeah the text spamming crap. The RLAH and normal AH are both heads and shoulders above than what D2 offered. So saying that the RLAH will take away from the normal AH is still a mute arguement from my point of view considering ANY AH is an upgrade from an already amazing game (D2).
3. Pay to Win was a huge deal in D2. Having it a huge deal in D3 is actually not a big deal. I honestly can't remember a bigger "black market" market than what D2 had. There were so many farmer shops on the webz for this game it is truely stupid of Blizzard not to include a regulated, mandated RLAH.
4. Money is good for a game in whatever means they see fit. RLAH taxes, Guild Wars 2 Cash Shop, monthly payments...whatever. You don't get whatever you want for free in the real world nor in fake worlds. You need to accept that.
5. If someone wants to Pay to Win this game, let them. I hardly see any way it will actually affect YOU. This isn't some persistent world MMO with 1k people on it and you know everyone. You will not know 99.9999999999% of the population of this game. So if xXSephirothXx wants to pay for his shinies with RL money so be it.

UW SOL Immigrant Families Advocacy Project
The Immigrant Families Advocacy Project (IFAP) at the University of Washington School of Law is currently working to recruit attorneys for the upcoming school year for a wonderful pro bono opportunity. Would you be interested in volunteering with IFAP this year?
Attorneys who volunteer for IFAP supervise a pair of law students, who do the bulk of the work on a U Visa petition, including interviewing clients, drafting declarations, gathering exhibits, and assembling the applications. Attorneys also serve as the attorney of record for the client's visa application. The clients are individuals who have been screened by the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP). They are survivors of certain qualifying crimes, who have additionally been helpful to police and prosecutors in the investigation of the crime, and because of this, they are eligible for U-visas. In general, our clients are women who have suffered intimate partner violence. NWIRP currently has a waitlist of 140 clients who are eligible for this relief, so we are trying to recruit as many attorneys as possible!
The first step in this process is to attend our CLE training for attorneys. This year the CLE will be held on Friday, October 19th, from 10:00am – 4:15pm, at Perkins Coie in downtown Seattle. We will cover the basics of immigration law, U-visa petitions and adjustment of status, confidentiality and ethics, working with immigrant survivors of violence, and supervising students. The CLE is approved for 4.25 credits, including 0.75 ethics credits, and the cost is only $35 for those who volunteer to take an IFAP case during the 2012-2013 school year.
After the CLE, we match each attorney with one pair of students and assign one case from NWIRP. The students generally begin working on the cases in January with the goal of finishing the application and submitting to Citizenship and Immigration Services by the end of the academic year, in late May.
Registration is open online at the website listed above. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the CLE or about IFAP.
Thanks for your interest in IFAP, and I hope you will consider volunteering with us this year!

The Irish are fond of their whiskey and beer. There are several Irish distilleries and breweries in that small country and the experience and pride of those that make their fine world renowned libations shine through in the quality of the products. St. Patrick's Day gives all of us the excuse to sample the tasty treats made in Ireland.
I know that the fine people at Enoch's Irish Pub will be serving up authentic imported Irish beverages all day. Irish music will be the standard of the day and you can listen to it while enjoying Irish food prepared by the Jeter family just for this occasion. The day is also an important fundraiser for the St. Vincent dePaul pharmacy. Call them at 388-3662 to find out about times and the entertainment schedule.
Whiskey and beer are not the only libations associated with the Irish. There have been a lot of Irish winemakers throughout history. There are records that indicate that wine was a big part of the Irish culture. In the early 1740s the Irish imported about 4,000 barrels of wine made in the Bordeaux area of France for every 1,000 barrels imported by the English. When some of the Irish migrated from their homeland due to religious persecution or conditions of famine many of them went to live in the wine country of France.
The heritage of fine wine in Bordeaux includes many Irish names that still identify the Chateaux today. The Irish names of Barton, Lynch, Kirwan, Phelen and others are found on the labels of high quality Bordeaux offerings. There is little evidence to the story that Ch. Haut-Brion is really a derivative of O'Brien, but it may be!
Originally the term Wild Geese was used to refer to those who left Ireland in the 1700s and settled in other parts of Europe. The Wine Geese name was given to those that worked in the wine trade. Today the Wine Geese is a society of Irish winemakers that make their homes and create their wines in other parts of the world including the United States.
The Aran Islands of Ireland was the birthplace of James Concannon who became one of the first winemakers in the Livermore Valley in California. The first cuttings that he planted in the New World were sauvignon blanc, semillon and muscadelle. These are the white grape varietals allowed in the Bordeaux area of France. The wine produced from these first cuttings helped make Concannon the first successful Irish heritage winery in the United States.
Since this first success in 1883 the company has continued to enjoy a great reputation and has gone on to make many more wine stylings over the years. They have not forgotten the heritage of their first wine. The 2010 Concannon Reserve Assemblage Blanc (15-20) is a blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon. Ripe melon and peach appear in the aromas and flavors of this very enjoyable offering. Citrus and green herb traits also appear as the wine warms in the glass. Try this wine with an aged Irish cheddar cheese.
Concannon Vineyards was the first winery to produce a wine labeled as petite sirah. The first vintage was from the 1961 crop. This year you will be able to taste several petite sirah wines produced by Concannon.
The 2009 Concannon Vineyards Selected Vineyards Petite Sirah ($10-15) is a very affordable wine to help celebrate this St. Patrick's Day. Plum is the dominant fruit trait blackberry and cherry also appear in this easy drinking red wine. Vanilla, cocoa and caramel add to the complexity. Try this with a lamb dish.
There are 10 different petite sirah offerings in the Concannon Vineyards portfolio. If you want to experience the best wine created at the winery then you have to try a bottle of the Concannon Heritage Reserve Petite Sirah ($60-65). Don't spill this wine! The color is so rich and deep that I am sure you will never get out the stain. Bold fruit flavors of currant, cherry and berry are accented by green herb, wood, vanilla and cocoa. There is very limited production and you may have a hard time finding this wine but it is well worth the search.
There are more than 30 different wines produced by Concannon Vineyards. Petite sirah is the mainstay of the winery but they have offerings for all tastes. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and blends are all available for you to try.
Forget the beer, forget the whiskey "» Celebrate the great Irish winemakers this St. Patrick's Day. Oh, and by the way, James Concannon was born on St. Patrick's Day - March 17, 1847. Let's all lift a glass of wine to him on his birthday.

A new Baguette peel
4 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
I thought I would show off the new baguette peel I made. I made it out of a single piece of pine from Home Depot.
It is a little too flexible but it is much better than loading the loaves either crooked on a square peel (as Uno mentioned in another thread) or from a cookie sheet...
Re: A new Baguette peel
You've made your own light saber! Excellent.
Re: A new Baguette peel
Fis to the flex
Fix 1:
Get a piece of hard maple/oak/mahogany. Split the pine grove it on both sides, tongue the hard wood glue it together.
Fix 2:
take a look at a guitar - give it a steel spine
Re: A new Baguette peel
Looks good, I like it ... I may just have to try one myself!
Re: A new Baguette peel
Very nice..thatsa beautiful..
Hey if the handel gives out you still have a really nice head you can just join to a solid wood broom handel. I had a one I made for the bakery oven,12' reach, with a piece of electrical conduit for the handel. It worked for years still have it and I didn't pay a couple of hundred for it..
Now you need to brand your logo in the head and put em on E-bay.. with a special rate for FB forum members of course.
Re: A new Baguette peel
Thanks guys!
I did think about running a steel rod of some sort into the handle. For now, I think I will leave it alone.
Do you think if I just use a harder, more expensive wood for the next peel, that it would be less flexible?
Re: A new Baguette peel
As I see it, the flexibility comes from the fact that you've made it from one piece of pine (?). Next time, you might consider making the handle out of harder wood, cutting a notch in the blade, gluing in the handle and sanding smooth. For the peel you have, you might stiffen it by using a router with a dovetail bit to cut a female opening from the end of the blade to several inches into the handle, then make a matching male piece out of hardwood. Glue it in, sand smooth. That would take out a lot of the flex, which I'm assuming is where the blade stops and the shaft begins. It might be even simpler to cut a slot all the way through with a table saw, but a dovetail gives you more glue surface. The weak spot on the two large peels I made is at the juncture of the blake and shaft. Had to repair one, twice.
Re: A new Baguette peel
Yes it is pine. It was a cheap way to experiment.
If I did the dovetail in the handle, are you saying go all the way through the handle or just a notch?
Like this?
( \ / )
Re: A new Baguette peel
I'm going to have to make a couple of these this weekend. The cookie sheet way is getting tiresome, and my only peel long enough for a short baguette (about 12") will only accommodate one.
Re: A new Baguette peel
Just a notch, as you say. I'd make it from near the tip of the blade to about four inches up into the handle, and about half the thickness of the pine. Maple or oak would work for the male dovetail spline.

The Fairbanks Recovery Center houses the following programs and services:
After years of drinking and casual drug use, Tyrone found his own path to recovery by witnessing the hope Fairbanks had given his own brother.
"I watched my brother change and realized I was addicted to drugs and alcohol also and I wanted to change. He really helped me see that there was hope." said Tyrone.
Although Tyrone struggled with the concept of sobriety and honesty for several years he has now been sober for three years and has a new outlook on life.
"I changed my attitude and actions and realized that I have to be honest with myself," said Tyrone. "It begins with me and it ends with me and I have to be responsible for my decisions.
My life today is better than it's ever been."
Seth spent 30 days at Fairbanks before moving into La Verna Lodge Family Program, a 12-step, long-term treatment setting for men created to unite residents and their families in recovery.
"I had to get away from my daily habits and also focus on my recovery," he says. "But I also needed a safe place to manage my anxiety about life, and a place where I could be held accountable to behave in the appropriate way."
"After coming to Fairbanks, I realized everything kept on happening without me, that I wasn't the cause for every effect. For somebody who was terminally self-important, that was the biggest lesson I could ever get."
Mindy, a graduate of Hope Academy, Fairbanks recovery-focused high school, learned an important lesson during her stay — the importance of being honest.
"I learned I had to be honest with myself," Mindy says. "I had been lying to myself."
Mindy immediately clicked with the staff, but the expectations were different than what she was used to.
"They weren't just focused on your grades. They were focused on your sobriety, too."
Mindy graduated from Hope Academy on May 28th, 2010, and has enrolled at IVY Tech Community College. After she finishes at IVY Tech she wants to earn a degree in mortuary sciences, but is committed to taking life one day at a time.
"I live by that," she says with a smile.

Last week when I joined Match.com I did a poor job putting my profile and pictures on line. After reading a number of profiles and seeing their pictures I realized that I needed to upgrade my entire greeting. My pictures now tell a better story about who I am.. Majority of good strong relationships are based on the ability of couples to be best friends first. They can talk their problems out which will in turn improve their commitment to one another. After my divorce several years ago I plunged myself into my work to make sure that I would be financially well off. Now that I have accomplish that I now have spare time and would like to find a woman that I can spend the rest of my life with. A little about myself I'm 6'2" 195 pounds, I have a full head of hair and a nice smile. I keep fit by speed walking with my dogs around Mile Square Park as often as possible. I don't smoke and would not date a woman who does. I own my own home and it will be paid off in November of this year. I have one son and he lives in Germany. I love to play golf and would hope to fine that special someone who knows how or would like to learn to golf so we could spend time together. In the summer time I take two or three trips to Laughlin to soak up the sun and go boating one the river. I am not a big gambler but I do play black jack on occasion. I'm honest and would expect the same in return. I love to laugh and have a good time with my friends. I attended CSULB on a baseball scholarship and received my Bachelor's degree before I stated working full time. I hope this tells you a little about myself. Drop me an e-mail and let's talk and see if we can make a connection.

Peter and Linda D'Aprix
For the last 70+ years, the Tuck Box has existed as a restaurant in the middle of Carmel-by-the-Sea on Dolores between Ocean and 7th. (Address is as close as you can get in street number resistant Carmel.) It has not always been devoted to British food as it is today, but since the 1940's when two sisters from England opened the tea room which they named "The Tuck Box" after the small wooden lockers English school boys took to boarding school with them to hold their toys, books and food (tuck). The "tuck box" has always had a warm and special place in British student hearts since the food served in their dining rooms was so execrable that the candy and cakes hoarded in their boxes were the only things to satisfy young tastes. This name sake more than lives up to these expectations. I know, I went to English boarding schools in the 1950's and cherished the goodies in my tuck box!
Illustration of this story book, fairy tale tea room and English restaurant.
Oat, wheat, barley & rye hot cereal served with pat of butter, raisins, raw brown sugar, Scottish Scone toasted and rich coffee.

All of us who have been eating at the Tuck Box owe a debt to Zigmont J. Le Towt and his wife Dianne who saved the Tuck Box from disappearing in 1996 when the previous owners just had to withdraw from the business. They are keeping this living piece of Carmel history and tradition alive and flourishing.
The Carmel incarnation is a whimsical environment more out of a book of fairy tales than the real English countryside. But never mind. It is quaint and has charm. Certainly a better place to eat hot scones dripping with butter and heaped with the Tuck Box Olallieberry Jam, hot cereal, good Ceylon Supreme Pekoe Black Tea, eggs and bacon or Canadian Bacon not to mention the stewed prunes. Breakfast digested, you can then look forward to Welsh Rarebit, Shepherd's Pie, Beefsteak Pie, Meatloaf with mashed potatoes (not a typical English dish but fulfilling in the same "nursery food" way). Or on Saturdays the English Pot Roast steeped in herbs and red wine with mashed potatoes. I love mashed potatoes and would dearly love to have had them in England. In school though, it was usually mushy, gray, reboiled potatoes. An image that came before my eyes when I studied the potato famine in Ireland although the Irish at the time would probably have given their eye teeth for the equally gray, reboiled cabbage that was served with them.
Desserts are listed as "desserts of the day & homemade pies served with real whipped cream". Don't eat here if nonfat is high on your dietary priorities. The pies see service later in the day for Afternoon Tea along with the Scottish scones, cheese and fruit plate.
The Tuck Box does not serve dinner but after what you have just consumed from the time you arrived in the morning, who needs dinner! Besides, English school boys were not served dinner, just late afternoon tea.
Open beam ceiling of the quaint dining room.
Outside sign.
They do serve local Monterey County wines by the bottle or glass as well as Carmel Brewing Co. and English bottled beers.
A note on their Scottish Scones. These are not the small scones one may be used to. These are large, about the size of a salad plate. The Tuck Box recipe is from northern Scotland and is lighter in texture than the scones found in England. Scones trace their ancestry back to the 1700's in England. Their quick preparation in contrast to yeast rising breads and the large number of recipe variations make them eternally interesting. Some, as the Tuck Box scones, are served with butter and preserves. But they can be served with everything from fruit to herbs and cheese. An Italian might make one as a pizza.
For afficiadoes, who cannot get to Carmel very often, the Tuck Box sells their preserves including their famous Olallieberry version, their scone mix that dates back to 1949, their whole grain cereal (oats, wheat, barley & rye) and their Ceylon Pekoe Black Tea. Just call or fax the numbers below or log onto their web site.

The moment has finally come!
After months of guessing and trying to read between the lines, it looks like we just got an answer to Hollywood's biggest question right now: What is Adele's baby's name?
The message came in the form of a necklace that the British songstress was wearing during her brief stay in Los Angeles.
Adele was spotted and snapped outside of celeb favorite baby boutique in West Hollywood called Bel Bambini. Around her neck was a simple gold necklace with the lettering "Angelo" as the medallion.
As fans can imagine, the spotting sent the Internet gossip community into a hissy fit, with claims that the name surely belonged to her newborn. What else could it mean, right?
The singer's decision to not give up any details about the baby's identity has been a conscious one.
During a behind-the-scenes interview with People magazine at the Golden Globes, she told the outlet that she wasn't prepared to share that kind of information just yet.
"I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me," she said. "I am enjoying him on my own."
The statement obviously caused even more interest in what her son's name could be. Since the baby's birth in October, it has been like pulling teeth to get any information about the kid—right down to its gender.
Adele is in Los Angeles for awards season. She has picked up a Golden Globe for her song "Skyfall." She is scheduled to perform at the Oscars and is up for an award in the Best Original Song in a Motion Picture category.

Janelle Gluckman's GOODSHOT! GOLF Offers Women An Empowering Approach to the Game
Many women want to learn to play golf but later abandon the sport because of the steep learning curve. Fortunately, a new e-book, "GoodShot! Golf," adds a unique perspective to golf instruction by introducing an approach designed to help women golfers enjoy playing golf while they are learning (http://goodshotgolf.com/).
The "GoodShot! Golf" method recognizes the value of positive reinforcement, encouraging beginners to learn shots one at a time rather than struggling on the course with the shots they have not yet mastered. "GoodShot! Golf" is available on both the Kindle and Nook e-readers, as well as a standard PDF download. Until December 31, buyers can take advantage of a 25% discount. Those who sign up for the email list can preview the first two chapters for free.
"GoodShot! Golf" strongly recommends taking lessons from an experienced professional and spending practice time at the driving range. The golf course itself should be fun rather than stressful. Though many golf instructional guides emphasize the technical aspects of the game, "GoodShot! Golf" leaves the purely technical training in the hands of clubhouse pros, and instead focuses on an innovative method for playing the game as a beginner.
When out on the course, players only record their good shots. Instead of trying to hit shots that are not yet within the player's skillset, such as bunker shots or flop shots, the "GoodShot! Golf" method focuses on playing the same number of shots that an accomplished golfer would hit and building a short game one shot at a time. The custom GoodShot! Golf scorecard helps the golfer identify areas that need practice and areas where her skill is improving, thus letting her know when it's time to try more challenging shots.
"I failed to learn to play golf twice," says author Janelle Gluckman . "The third time I was determined not to be 'that woman golfer' who hits the ball ten times getting to the green and then takes another four shots to get it in the hole. I invented the method described in 'GoodShot! Golf' and had fun playing golf while I was still learning. Once I enjoyed playing beautiful courses like Torrey Pines and Telluride, I was hooked. Nothing was going to keep me from being a golfer."
"'GoodShot! Golf' is a great gift for men to give their wives who don't play golf," adds Gluckman. "If you want to spend the money to play Pebble Beach, it helps if both the husband and wife are dying to go."
Once a frustrated golfer who failed to learn twice, Janelle Gluckman is now an avid and accomplished player. Gluckman's book "GoodShot! Golf" helps other women enjoy playing the game, without the frustration of playing badly while learning.

"Matthew Newlin as the Conte di Belprato, one of the other suitors, supplies the most interesting voice of the evening, a tenor with plenty of juicy, Italianate tone." -- The Telegraph

"Matthew Newlin stattet den Conte mit einem herrlich strömenden Tenor aus und entwickelt bei seinen zahlreichen Annäherungsversuchen großartige Komik." -- Online Musik Magazin
!! International Vocal Competition 's-Hertogenbosch Opera Prize Winner! Find information on this contest HERE !!

"Matthew Newlin brought a light, graceful tenor to his solos as well as more vehement expression when raging against the perfidy of women." -- Chicago Classical Review
