Joy – Sharing My Favorite Images Using Flipagram
At year's end, I wanted to share some of my favorite images after looking through hundreds of photographs. My goal with this blog is that with every post I want to provide a photo technique that you may or may not be aware of. With every tutorial and image, I hope to enable you to improve your photographs technically and artistically.
My source for sharing my favorite images is the iPhone application called "Flipagram." At the end of this tutorial you can click on the Flipagram link to view my favorite images. First, what is Flipagram?
What is Flipagram?
Most of us have hundred's of photos in our iPhone Camera Roll or using the Instagram app. Flipagram is an iPhone (and Droid) application that allows you to select individual images and turn them into a video format to share with family and friends. Not only that, you can add music and share the video through: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Email, Test Message (SMS), or Copy to Clipboard.
How Easy Is It?
<> Download the Flipagram application from the Apple "App Store." Once you have the app and open it, create an account.
<> Click on the "Start" button.
<> Next, up pops your iPhone images found in any of these sources: Instagram app, Facebook, iPhone Photo Albums, Camera Roll, or My Photo Stream. Simply click on all the images you wish to use.
<> Click on the check mark icon in the top right-hand corner and all the images will be moved to your Flipagram app. You can go back and add more images.
<> Your images will appear in the "1 Moment" window. Now, click on the ">" icon and you are now in "2 Moments." Here, you can click on an image to rearrange its position among the other images. Double-clicking on an image allows you to crop the image. Click "done" when finished.
Don't Have Many Images or Use Instragram?
Cool trick – Here's what you can do if you don't use Instagram or have a great deal of images stored on your iPhone. If you have a webpage containing images you can move them to your iPhone by following these easy steps:
- Open Safari on your iPhone. Navigate to your website and find images you wish to use with Flipagram.
- Click and hold your finger on an image. Up pops a window allowing you to: "Save Image" "Copy" or "Cancel." Click "Save Image" and it's stored on you iPhone Camera Roll or My Photo Stream.
Adding Timing, Title, & Music
Click on the ">" icon again and up pops another new window. Here, you can play your video, add music (From your iPhone or import new music.), adjust the timing of your images as they play, add a title, select the font, and change the Watermark.
I recommend you take the time to play your video a few times to make sure you like the order of the images, the speed at which they appear, and the music.
Finalizing Your Flipagram Video
Click on the check mark located in the top right-hand corner. Up pops a window asking if you are ready to finalize your Flipagram. Selecting "Yes" will create your video and save it in your iPhone photo folder.
At the bottom of the application, you will see "Share" that allows you to share your video via: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Email, Test Message (SMS), or Copy to Clipboard.
That's all it takes!

Happy New Year!

Apologies for the recent downtime with Lorien.Me, I had a few technical hiccups and lost all of my data (quelle horreur). Fortunately after hours of working on it, phone calls to Fasthosts at 4 am, far too many cups of Nespresso coffees (loving the hazelnut variation) I am BACK – although please bear with me if anything is a bit 'wobbly' at first (I am working on it!).
When I last blogged I was just beginning to feel festive and now in what felt like a blink of my eye Christmas is over and we are already into the first few days of the New Year. Christmas is one of my favourite points of the year. To me it still holds that little bit of magic; the atmosphere it creates is so much greater in importance than the materialistic side of things. I love how it brings everyone closer together and how it just seems to have a generic sparkle. I am sure the excessive quantities of great food and abundance of champagne does not hurt mind…
I hope that everyone had a superlative Christmas and I wish you all the best of luck in 2013. On that note one particular thing I hate about New Year is how everyone seems to take the 'new year, new me' approach to resolutions. From experience I find for most people this approach does not work and their resolutions are abandoned before we even get to February. I do not think you should be looking at a new you – work at improving who you already are one step at a time with continuous specific improvements through out the next year (and so on for every day of your life). Reflection and laughter are key in this. If you are not happy with your life then do something about it!
When I was re reading Breakfast at Tiffany's over Christmas one particular line stood out to me. Granted I have taken it out of original context but it is something I am taking inspiration from to adjust my outlook in the upcoming year. I am loosely interpreting it simply as just because I may not be considered 'normal' (I hate that word; normality is after all a human social construct!) in many ways I do not need to change – I would rather be myself and be 'natural'. A reductive interpretation perhaps but I see it as more of a guideline of how to live my life than the absolute law.

The carrier's chief executive Dave Barger says in an earnings call today that the airline will also deepen its existing partnerships with airlines through implementing one-way codeshares and launching reciprocal frequent flyer benefits.

About Donna B
Hi! My main hangout in the Library is the Teen Underground, but you'll find me wandering all over the building. Originally from Northeast Iowa, I've lived in the Chicago area long enough that people don't tell me I sound like a character from "Fargo" anymore. I geek out on ginger ale and black licorice, Pottermore sorted me into Slytherin, and if I were a dog I'd be a shiba inu.

Standing near the 20-yard line at Washington-Grizzly Stadium on Tuesday morning, University of Montana President Royce Engstrom faced 900 high school freshmen and challenged them to become the next Sandra Day O'Connor or Elon Musk.
One became the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, the other invented PayPal and Tesla Motors. They also finished high school, Engstrom noted, his voice playing over the stadium's sound system.
"Sandra Day O'Connor and Elon Musk were both high school and college graduates," Engstrom said. "Graduation will put you on a path of adventure and a life of contribution."
Held in a brisk October wind, the third annual Graduation Matters Freshmen Rally drew a lineup of speakers ranging from Denise Juneau, the superintendent of the state Office of Public Instruction, to students, a professor and leaders of Missoula County Public Schools.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
Emogene Westbrook passed away peacefully at home on October 18, 2011, of natural causes. Her daughter and caregiver Relina Gaye was at her side.
Emogene was born on November 20, 1923, to Elisha and Dora Lockmiller in Waggoner, Okla. In 1938, her family relocated to Idaho, then to California where they settled permanently in Stockton.
In the early 1950's, Emogene relocated to Smith River where she met Henry "Ted" Westbrook. They were married on June 11, 1956. There, they raised their blended family of eight children and worked side by side in the operation of the family business known as Westbrook's Market.
Emogene had a special place in her heart for ill and injured children and in 1958 she was one of the founding members of a community service organization that eventually came to be known as the Easter Seal Society of Del Norte County. It is now known as the Community Assistance League.
She served several terms as president and held other offices through the years. Emogene worked tirelessly for its fund raising efforts to help the community and never missed a meeting. She continued to serve as an active member until she became ill in 2005.
Emogene was preceded in death by her parents Elisha and Dora Lockmiller; husband Henry "Ted" Westbrook, daughters Gwynna Morris and Donna Engelke; step-daughters Jane Westbrook and Joan Carpenter; step-grandchildren Christopher Carpenter and Brad Roberts; brothers Eugene and Earnest Lockmiller; and her sister Jeanette Volbrecht.
She is survived by her daughters Relina Gaye Minion; Jean Maples and husband Ken; step-daughter Kaye Roberts and husband Jay; step-son Owen Westbrook and wife Kathy; grandchildren Scott Engelke, Tim and Sean Minion; Paul Morris, Angela Morris; great-grandson Paul Morris Jr. step-grandchildren Aris and Charlene Westbrook, Melanie Westbrook, Vickie O'Conner and husband Joe; and Heidi Carpenter; step-great-grandchildren Brayden and Hailey Westbrook; Rory, Rogan and McKale O'Conner; Caylynn and Jason Roberts; brothers Kenneth Lockmiller and wife Dee; J.D. Lockmiller and wife Faye; sister Gwynella Florence and husband Jack; sister-in-law Mary Alice Lockmiller; son-in-law David Morris and numerous nieces and nephews.
Emogene will be greatly missed by her family, friends and those who love her.
Emogene requested that memorial donations be made to the Community Assistance League, PO Box 959, Crescent City, CA 95531.
Funeral services will be held for Emogene on Tuesday, October 25, 2011, at 11 a.m. at the United Methodist Church in Smith River, followed by a commmittal service at the Smith River District Cemetery. There will be a reception immediately afterward at the United Methodist Church meeting hall.
Arrangements are under the direction of Wier's Mortuary Chapel of Crescent City.

Let's put it as follows. If the market did not understand the oil market fundamentals, OPEC and the large oil firms would provide them with a Little or more-than-a-Little help. For some reason, I Think that I am going to have a problem explaining to my energy economics students in 2014 how the WTI oil price is back at $100/barrel, given all the news about the shale revolution in the US. Fortunately some of the preliminaries will be found in my forthcoming textbook ENERGY AND ECONOMIC THEORY, and the coming year should tell us much of what we need to know about the so-called 'shale revolution' and what it will mean for the oil price in the coming years.

Brit Milah (Bris): Some Laws and Customs
Ten things to know about--and think about--when planning a brit milah ceremony.
By Sharon Strassfeld
We Also Recommend
Reprinted with permission from the Second Jewish Catalog, published by the Jewish Publication Society.
1. There is a custom to make a feast of fruits and beverages on the erev shabbat [the Sabbath evening] before the day that the brit takes place. This is seen as a feast held in honor of performing a mitzvah […] and is called a shalom zakhar. Similarly, there is a custom to stay awake studying all night before the circumcision, to protect the child from demons, etc. It is obviously the last chance for the demons to get the child before circumcision makes him safe. This is called leil shimmurim–the night of watching.
2. One should not circumcise an infant who is weak, sick, or premature when medical opinion indicates that the circumcision might be dangerous. The brit, in this case, is postponed until a later date.
3. Although a brit may normally be held on Shabbat or a festival (even on Yom Kippur), if the brit has been postponed because of the health of the child, it should not take place on any of those days.
4. It is customary to light candles in the room where the brit is to take place.
5. Another custom is to set aside a chair for the prophet Elijah (who is called the angel of covenant and is reputed to be the protector of little children).
6. It is also a custom to put the infant on the chair before the actual circumcision.
7. Whenever possible, the brit should take place with a minyan (a quorum of 10 people [in traditional communities, 10 men]).
8. It is customary for everyone but the godfather [the sandek] who is holding the baby to remain standing during the ceremony.
9. The father (or both parents [when the mother wishes to do so and the mohel is agreeable]) should hand the knife to the mohel and stand by him while he performs the milah, to indicate that the mohel is the agent of the parent(s). [If the child's father is not Jewish then traditionally the mohel simply acts on behalf of the community.]
10. [In addition to] the basic elements of the brit milah ceremony […], there is great historical precedent for adding meaningful readings, songs, statements, etc.–whatever the parents are into. While psalms, poetry, music, and group readings are appropriate within the context of the traditional brit milah, you should check nonetheless with the mohel you'll be using. He'll also be sharing in the ceremony and deserves consideration.

A pair of Charleston-area boats moved into the lead after Friday's second day of fishing in the 47th annual Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament, the oldest event in the South Carolina Governor's Cup Billfishing Series.
Full Pull, owned by John Floyd and captained by Ryan Riggs, grabbed the top spot. The Toler's Cove-based boat released two blue marlin (600 points) and a white marlin for 1,500 points.
Second place is held by the Isle of Palms boat Syked Out, owned by David Sykes and captained by Dan Woody with 1,200 points for two blue marlin releases.
Rascal, owned by Norman Pulliam and Mark Rogers, also has 1,200 points with two blue marlin releases, one Friday and one on Thursday when it was the only boat in the 29-boat fleet to venture out.
Governor's Cup participants are allowed to fish two out of three days, captain's choice, and Rascal has no chance to improve its standing but the other 28 boats are scheduled to fish Saturday.
Other blue marlin releases Friday went to Big Sky, No Problem, Rookie IV and Sportsman. Anticipation released a white marlin.
Arica leads the dolphin division with a 39.4-pound catch made by 10-year-old Rivers Simmons. Christy II has the tuna lead with a 4.2-pound blackfin. There were no wahoo landed.
The Georgetown tournament is the first in the five-event Governor's Cup series. Today's final weigh-in is scheduled from 5-9 p.m. at Georgetown Landing.

OK, so I am not a real geek. But I am trying to learn ;D
I have recently attempted to install bootcamp so that I can install XP on my mini. I ran the bootcamp assistant and chose my partition size and hit the "partition" button. It ran for a few minutes and then told me to restart my computer. I did so. I wanted to proceed to install windows, and so, per the instructions for installing windows, I reopened the bootcamp assistant. It didn't give me options other than to start from the beginning. since I made my bootcamp partition as large as possible, I didn't have enough space to repartition, thankfully, but it wouldn't let me go any further, and I can't install windows, and I know have only 5 GB on my OS X side. I know I can erase and start over, but I am wondering if there is another option. Any thoughts?
I've got the same problem, you can retrieve the space you wanted to allocate for win, just reboot from the os x install disk nr1 and then start disk utility, select the mac hd and hit repair. If it says it can't be repaired because it can't be unmounted, repeat clicking on repair till it starts to run.
As for the second part of the problem, I don't know what to do to be honest, as I am still facing the problem, and can't install win xp.
Boot Camp Problem
I'm having exactly the same problem - it's very frustrating as I have plenty of space for the partition. Nettiwolfi's solution works fine to get you back to where you started, but there must be a way to make Boot Camp work. Is this problem limited to the MacBook Pro and Leopard, perhaps? I'd really be grateful for any help.

Dear girls'n'guys @ apple in Cupertino! Any idea we could use?

Okay, so about a month ago I went to Walt Disney World with my family and was my third trip there. This time I got to go to epcot and really explore it. (Last time I only got to spend half a day there and it was crowded and hot! I really didn't get to do much) So anyway I stumbled on Mission Space which was a great interactive thrilling ride! (and sorry I don't have a trip report! I lost my camera at the hotel and got mailed back the wrong one! But I did have a great time!)
So anyways I was thinking of plusing space mountain in a mission space way. I was thinking of putting buttons in front of the six seats and guests would push the button on a certain part of the ride when directed to. I wouldn't change the music or anything so don't get scared!
In the two rocket cars will be the same order. The first two people in the first row will be the co pilots. The next two in the second row will be the navigators. The next two will be the engineers.
The engineers will be told to push there button at the top of the first lift hill before the blue light power up scene. Only that row will be told to do so and the button panel will light up for that row. The commandment will be nicely synced up with the current music.
The navigators will do the same thing just before the second lift hill telling them to launch the launch coridnents. See how it fits in? Oh and besides the row whose pushing da button they'll just here the current music instead of the comand.
And at the very top of the last lift hill will be when the pilots are told to push there buttons to blast off and launch. They'll say somethin like "pilots push your buttons in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, activate!"
There's more to it I'll put up soon so

Last night the Elbert County Board of Commissioners met for their regular monthly meeting.
The commissioners discussed how House Bill 386, which was adopted during the most recent State Assembly, has exempted the tax on electricity and energy used in manufacturing, and how or if the county should implement an optional Excise Tax, which was written into HB 386.
County Attorney Bill Daughtry said that if the county decided to implement the Excise Tax, that it would be a phase in process.
"It will be on a phase in basis. We would only get 25% the first year, 50% the next year, 75% in the third year, and in the fourth year we would receive the full amount of the two percent that we would otherwise lose." said Daughtry.
The Excise Tax is a two percent tax on energy used by manufacturers to help local governments recoup some SPLOST funds that may be lost. County Commissioner Chair Tommy Lyon said this option puts the county in a tough spot.
"It makes us look like the bad guys again, but makes the state look like the good guys. On the otherside of that, if we install this, what happens if the counties around us don't install this, they would then have an advantage in recruitment." said Lyon.
According to County Administrator Bob Thomas, one year of collecting the Excise tax would equate to about $83,000 in money collected for the county.
In the end the commissioners decided to table this item to allow for more discussion before a decision is made.
In other matters, the commissioners approved the purchase of sixty radios for the Elbert County Fire Department, and also approved the upgrade to the new 9-1-1 CAD System. Both of those votes passed unanimously.

Product description
This is a book about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is a book by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is a book about America, about fathers and sons, prejudice and courage, triumph and disaster, and told with warmth, humor, wit, candor, and love.

Review quote
"Roger Kahn has achieved the near impossible in his "The Boys of Summer" by writing two splendid books in one, neither of which, strangely enough, is a sports book although baseball is the central theme of both. To Mr. Kahn, 'people' is the name of the game, and it's a game he plays with brilliance, insight and thoughtfulness. To say that I 'enjoyed' the book is to say that winning a World Championship is 'interesting', owing a derby winner 'nice', and starring in the Super Bowl 'fun'."-- Bill Veeck"Kahn's book is marvelous...a splendid historical work. It is about youthful dreams in small American towns and big cities decades ago, and how some of these dreams where fulfilled, and about what happened to those dreamers after reality and old age arrived. It is also a book about ourselves, those of us who shared and identified with the dreams and glories of our heroes."-- Gay Talese"What most people look for in a book is a good story. Roger Kahn gives us about fifteen of them woven into one coherent narrative that is moving and funny and sentimental (about people and things that merit sentiment) and cynical (about those that don't)."-- Ring Lardner, Jr. "To writer Roger Kahn, the old Brooklyn Dodgers National League baseball team is a forever a priceless violin and he is the bow which must play upon it. This isn't a book; it's a love affair between a man, his team, and an era."-- "Christian Science Monitor""A work of high purpose and poetic accomplishment. The finest American book on sports. I commend it without qualification."-- James Michener"The "Boys of Summer" is a book of life . . . beautifully and above all . . . respectfully observed."-- Paul Hogan"A work of high purpose and poeticaccomplishment. The finest American book on sports. I commend it without qualification."--James Michener"The best team the majors ever saw, a team so extraordinary that Marianne Moore wrote poems to it--the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950s...A moving elegy!"--"New York Times"Not just another book about baseball or a boy growing up to like baseball, but a book about pain and defeat and endurance, about how men anywhere must live."--Peter Prescott, "Newsweek

They were able to accomplish a 0-60mph of only 4.7 seconds and the quarter mile in just 13.3 seconds. They also conduct a broader general review of many of the F30 335i's aspects. Check out the video review inside.

So, how do you properly test the performance of the new 2012 3 series F30 sedan? You take it out on a race track like Laguna Seca, as we did earlier this week.

When Sen. Joan Carter Conway recommitted her controversial college program bill back to her committee Tuesday she did so with a warning: It will be back.
Conway made the promise just before announcing she would send the bill back to committee rather than let it proceed to a final vote in the Senate.
"It hurts my heart," Conway said. "But I know the fate of the bill in the House based on the discussions."
The move to send the bill back to committee came after Conway engaged in a tense and heated debate over the bill with Sens. Jim Brochin and Bobby Zirkin, two Baltimore County Democrats. The bill passed on a procedural vote.
The bill would require the Maryland Higher Education Commission to review objections by historically black colleges and universities to proposals for new academic programs or substantial modifications to existing so-called traditionally white institutions.

Chateau Duhart-Milon-Rothschild 2009
Bordeaux Red Blends from Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
The nose is still somewhat subtle. On the palate, the expression develops and "gains altitude," taking on an ethereal dimension. Length, density and structure are all present in this delicious wine. A definite success.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells. Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more. Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage!"
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "An amazing effort, the '09 Ch Duhart-Milon has taken a quantum leap to a new place. Quite rich and pretty concentrated, this wine has length and breadth to take long into the cellar. I see this one to be succulent yet firm in a decade or so. (Best Served: 2018-2029) "
James Suckling - "This is superb, with so much beautiful subtle fruit and wonderful flowers. Full and very lively, with super fine tannins and a lively finish. Very exciting. Best ever from here. Try in 2018. "
Wine Enthusiast - "A rounded wine, its tannins submerged into the ripe fruits. It feels soft, and there is just a bite of alcohol. The structure is soft, generous, opulent.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points "
Wine Spectator - "This takes a fleshy, rather toasty approach, showing roasted plum and black currant fruit, with a smoked mesquite note on the loam-tinged finish. There's more breadth than depth, but this has the latent minerality to last a long time in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2027."
International Wine Cellar - "(a 63/37 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot; 13.5% alcohol; IPT 70) Medium-deep ruby. The delicately scented nose is classic Pauillac: blackcurrant, violet, cedar and graphite. Enters smooth and seamless, with lively acids nicely lifting the blackberry, plum and smoky mineral flavors. Refined and restrained Pauillac, finishing sleek and long, with very smooth tannins and a lingering mineral quality. This speaks to me of high-quality cabernet sauvignon on gravel. One of the best young Duhart-Milons ever, and in this vintage it bears more than a passing resemblance to Lafite-Rothschild, which is under the same ownership, even though the two wines are obviously quite different. "
- View All
Chateau Duhart-Milon-Rothschild Winery
In the early 18th century, Pauillac began widespread grape cultivation at the urging of the Lafite lords. The Milon wines served as additional income for Lafite's master, and became Château Lafite's second wine. The 1855 classification recognized the quality of Duhart-Milon's soil by ranking it as the only 4th growth wine in Pauillac.
Between 1830 and 1840, the Castéja family was left an inheritance by both Mandavy and the Duhart widow (14 hectares). The family thus possessed a 40-hectare vineyard that was named Duhart-Milon. The property changed ownership many times over the years and suffered a decline in the quality of its wines.
In 1962, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired the property from the Castéja family. Since the acquisition by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the vineyards have been totally overhauled and the chais renovated. A finishing touch to a remarkable 40 year effort to reclaim the Médoc 4th growth wine ranking for Château Duhart-Milon.
This wine is from Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite)-Each wine is made with high standards delivering wines of elegance and finesse in the tradition of our great Bordeaux house, Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. View all Chateau Duhart-Milon-Rothschild Wines
About PauillacView a map of Pauillac wineries (pouy-YACK)
Home to three premier cru (first growth) chateaux, Pauillac is a leader in quality Bordeaux. Chateaux Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild are situated within the Pauillac appellation. Sandwiched between St.-Estèphe and St.-Julien, Pauillac wines are big - known for their combination of elegance and power.
Notable FactsThe gravel-based soils of Pauillac are key in creating the structured wines produced there. Like most of Bordeaux's left bank, Cabernet Sauvignon is the leading grape. Some typical descriptions of wine from Pauillac include: concentrated, full-bodied, powerful, firm tannins, ability to mature. Not all of the Pauillac wines are top price collectibles that you can only find at auctions. There are great values in the lower level crus, like the fifth growth, Chateau Lynch-Bages, as well as great Cru Bourgeois such as Chateau Pibran. These wines are more affordable and often mature a bit sooner.
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.

A substantial effort, the 2009 Chateau Duhart-Milon exhibits plenty of fruit and oak in both the nose and on the palate. A complete wine, with a soft, yet persistent underbelly. One of the chateau's best efforts. (Best Served 2020-2030)95 Points Wilfred Wong

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.

Hanover Resident Receives Governor's Award For National Service
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 04 November 2009 00:00
Julie Brawner's commitment to providing support to residents of Scott county in Hanover has yielded significant results in helping the community reduce the drop-out rate, and has distinguished her service as a member of the Scott County AmeriCorps program. It was for this work that Brawner is this year's recipient of the Governor's Award for National Service.

Wednesday, 04 November 2009 00:00
Two drug-related felony charges were scheduled to be filed by the Scott County Prosecutor's Office on Thursday, November 29, against a Scottsburg Middle School teacher and his son.
Mark Hildebrand, 56, and his 26-year-old son, Jade, were taken into custody on Tuesday, November 27, at their home on South Double or Nothing Road after nearly three pounds of processed marijuana was found there by Indiana State Police detectives and a trooper.
State police at the Sellersburg post received a tip about the father and son having marijuana. Undercover detectives and a state trooper went to the residence and interviewed the pair. After the interviews were completed, a search of the residence ensued. Approximately 2.9 pounds of the leafy illegal substance and several pieces of drug paraphernalia were allegedly discovered during that search, according to a news release from the post's public information officer, Sgt. Jerry Goodin. A photo of the marijuana found was released to the media. It showed a pile of dried marijuana that had been neatly bagged in sandwich wrappers.

Lack of decision by County Area Plan Commission may result in courtroom appearance in near future
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:00
Lack of action by the Scott County Area Plan Commission (APC) on Wednesday night, October 14, on a requested modification of terms attached to recent approval of a company's Development Plan (DP) may cause the APC to make a trip to a courtroom.
Representatives of Liberty Green Renewables L.L.C. and their attorney, John Kraft of New Albany, attended the October 14 APC meeting. Larry Ott and Terrance Naulty had come to be available should any member of the APC have questions about the company. Members of a local citizens' group fighting Liberty Green were also present. Three of them, Jeff Cox, Pat Berna and Alice Stackhouse, were allowed to provide comments about their data on emissions they said such plants create.
That group was not successful in preventing the APC from approving Liberty Green's DP on August 26. In that presentation, the APC was told how the company plans to burn wood chips that will generate steam which will power a turbine that will create electricity. The process is considered better for the environment because its fuel, trees, are considered a renewable fuel as opposed to coal, the "black gold" on which the Midwest depends for generating much of its electrical power.

Springfield, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Billy Baron scored 17 points, leading all five starters in double figures, as the Canisius Golden Griffins topped the Siena Saints, 71-65, in the quarterfinals of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament at the MassMutual Center.
Baron, who was recently named the MAAC Player of the Year, added six assists and five steals for the fourth-seeded Golden Griffs (21-11) in the triumph. Chris Manhertz registered a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, Chris Perez pitched in 13 points, Jordan heath 11 and Zach Lewis 10 points to go along with four assists and four steals.
The seventh-seeded Saints (15-17) were paced by Brett Bisping and his game- high 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the floor, adding nine rebounds, while Rob Poole tacked on 14 points in the setback as well.
Siena opened the meeting on a 9-3 run and connected on a solid 46.2 percent from the floor in the first half, but knocked down just 1-of-6 attempts on the perimeter. Conversely, Canisius was an impressive 8-of-14 on the outside and 57.9 percent accurate from the floor overall, but still trailed by a point at the break, 34-33.
In the second half the Saints elevated to 52.2 percent accuracy from the field and 5-of-11 beyond the arc, but at the same time they were outscored at the charity stripe by a 12-2 margin, allowing the Griffs to slip by for the victory.
In a game that featured 11 ties and 21 lead changes, Canisius shot 10-of-22 behind the 3-point line in order to counter 16 turnovers.
Canisius will now take on Iona contest on Sunday for the right to play in the championship round on Monday night.

By DAVID GINSBURG
(AP) OWINGS MILLS, Md. - The music blared in the Baltimore Ravens locker room Saturday as the players threw their football gear into black duffel bags lying in front of their cubicles.
Next stop, New Orleans.
After one final practice at their own training facility, the Super Bowl-bound Ravens will take Sunday off before heading for the Big Easy on Monday afternoon in anticipation of their matchup on Feb. 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
"We're right where we want to be," wide receiver Torrey Smith said. "Now we have an opportunity to play in the big one. But at the end of the day, we're still getting ready for a football game."
Coach John Harbaugh conducted practice from Thursday through Saturday as if it was a normal work week. They went hard on Thursday and Friday and eased up Saturday.
"We've had a great week. We had an excellent practice," Harbaugh said after the closed two-hour session. "The guys are very sharp and they're excited. We'll have to go down there and do just as well (or) do better."
The next time the Ravens hit the practice field, it will be in New Orleans. This week, at least, there were no distractions.
"I think it's always important to have a good practice no matter what," Harbaugh said. "You've got to practice well to play well. You pretty much play the way you practice. That's something that we learned when we were kids and that's not going to change."
It was final practice at the team's training complex for Ray Lewis, who intends to retire after the Super Bowl. Center Matt Birk has made no such announcement, but there is a possibility the 36-year-old is also preparing for his last game.
"I don't think like that," Birk said. "I just try to live in the moment. That's just kind of my mindset. I don't think about the future or if this could be it. It drives my wife nuts, but that's just not how I operate."
Now in his 15th NFL season _ the fourth with Baltimore _ Birk's knees are scarred from several operations and he had surgery during the offseason to repair varicose veins in his legs. But he played in all 16 games during the regular season and remained solid in the middle of the offensive line during the postseason.
"I'm not sure about Matt's plans," Harbaugh said. "If he decides to come back next year that would be awesome. He's smart, he's tough. To my eye, he's playing the best football that he's played since he's been here, right now. To have that be true at the end of a (long) season is very impressive. We would not be where we are without Matt Birk."
Looking ahead to the challenge next Sunday, Harbaugh called the 49ers "a very well-coached football team." He said it with a grin, because San Francisco is coached by his little brother, Jim.

Fox News has an unparalleled capacity to cause liberal journalists to say really stupid things. Take the case of the chronically unserious Dana Milbank. (Who can forget this moment?) In his Washington Post column, Milbank opens things this way:
John Boehner, Haley Barbour and other Republican leaders held a "results watch" at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Washington. For a true victory party, you had to go to Fox News.
At Rupert Murdoch's cable network, the entity that birthed and nurtured the Tea Party movement, Election Day was the culmination of two years of hard work to bring down Barack Obama – and it was time for an on-air celebration of a job well done.
"That's an earthquake," exulted Fox's own Sarah Palin, upon learning the not-unexpected news that Republicans would gain control of the House. "It's a big darn deal."
"It's a comeuppance," Fox News contributor (and Post columnist) Charles Krauthammer contributed.
"I have one word," said Sean Hannity. "Historic."
And Chris Wallace struggled for words. "A gigantic – not a wave election but a tidal wave election," he envisioned.
This cheerleading on the final day of the 2010 election cycle was to be expected.
It was to be expected, and for a simple reason: what the commentators and reporters on Fox said is indisputable. Even President Obama, himself, referred to the results of the 2010 midterm election as a "shellacking." And also Milbank's former Washington Post colleague Howard Kurtz and Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin of Politico used the word "bloodbath" to describe the election. So were Obama, Kurtz, Smith, and Martin "cheerleading" as well? So long as they don't appear on Fox, the answer seems to be no.
Milbank decided to compound his tendentiousness by willfully misleading readers. Mr. Milbank writes:
The victory party would have to focus on the 60-seat gain Fox projected for Republicans in the House – an enormous win, though not at the upper end of the forecasts. Fox commentator Karl Rove, pleading for "perspective," said it still qualified as a "blowout evening." To be fair and balanced, Fox brought in a nominal Democrat, pollster Doug Schoen. "This is a complete repudiation of the Democratic Party," he proclaimed.
So which Democrats does Milbank leave off this list? How about Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Kirsten Powers, Geraldo Ferraro, Joe Trippi, and Pat Caddell? Why would Milbank neglect to name any of these individuals? Because it would run counter to the narrative he's trying to advance. Thomas Huxley referred to such things as "the slaying of a beautiful deduction by an ugly fact."
The Washington Post publishes some of the finest columnists who have ever graced the pages of an American newspaper. But it also, alas, publishes Dana Milbank.

Gay Activist Matt Comer's Editorial & Dr. Brown's ReponseFiled under News, Sexuality & Gender on December 30th, 2010 by M. French
Editor's Note: Some of the links in this article are to gay activist websites that may contain objectionable ads, articles, etc… We do not condone their content.
Gay activist Matt Comer, who we've interacted with on a few occasions, released an editorial entitled 'A prayer for Michael Brown' in response to the Nov 1st Brown/Shmuley debate on homosexuality. The editorial starts by setting a significantly more cordial tone than he's set before (c.f. "Brown … and his CoC are the real predators, their disguise a carefully plotted and scripted message of 'compassion,' 'love' and 'gentleness.'" from his 2007 article) as he describes him as "respectful and polite":
I used to think Benham and Brown were of the same mold. I thought both were hateful, deranged and dangerous anti-gay militants. That's mostly true about Benham… Brown, on the other hand, is a little more reserved. I might even dare say he's a little bit more respectful and polite. That doesn't make him right, of course. He's still wrong, still preaching exclusion and hate and pushing people away from Christ rather than pulling them in.
But, as if on script, rather than apologizing for his previous claims of Brown, Comer ends up praising himself for changing his thoughts toward him from contempt to "pity" because of Brown's "unique brand of lunacy" (emphasis mine):
This worldview that allows Brown to paint gay people in the same light as child rapists also allows him, somehow, to think of being named a hate group as some kind of honor. It's this kind of thinking that truly defines Brown's unique brand of lunacy.
I've struggled immensely with my thoughts, opinions and feelings toward Brown, especially in recent weeks. Since his debate on homosexuality with Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in early November, I've often sat alone thinking about my interactions with Brown. I've gone back and read many of his writings, my writings and our interactions. It's hard to despise a man when pity starts to take over.
In response, Dr. Brown was allowed a guest commentary on the Q-Notes site entitled 'Setting the record straight', in which he defended himself against Comer's charges of comparing "homosexuality to child rape":
The basis for these charges is that I supposedly compare "homosexuality to child rape" and that I "paint gay people in the same light as child rapists." Is this true? God forbid! Why would I compare the forcible rape of an innocent child with the consensual acts of two adults, even if those acts are immoral or wrong?
What I have addressed — and which Matt, it appears, has consistently and persistently misrepresented — is: 1) the similar arguments used by both gay activists and advocates of "man-boy love"; and 2) the failure of many gay leaders to condemn the youthful (and, often fondly-recalled) same-sex encounters of some of their leaders.
Read the rest of Dr. Brown's Q-Notes article here, and feel free to leave a comment. I pray the understanding of where we are coming from will become more real to Comer and his readers through it, though to paraphrase Keith Green, they will need to soften their hearts before they'll be able to really see it.

Some people may not have time or don't like the idea of having to go to the gym in order to keep their body fit. Although you may want to lose that extra weight and keep your body fit, the idea of going to the gym just prevents you from attaining your goal. Below are very simple exercises to do at home that will help in keeping your body fit without the need of going to the gym:
This is a simple practice that will help build your upper body, the arms and your stomach. With this exercise, you just need to hold yourself up with your feet and hands while lying horizontally to the ground. Make sure your feet are together and hands at your shoulders' level. Lower yourself towards the ground by bending your elbows, then straighten your hands to return to the original state. Repeat this as many times as you can.
Free weights
This is another effective way of burning fat. You just need to buy a set of weights and start lifting them, at the comfort of your home. You may start with the lighter ones. Try exercising every part of the body while lifting. This is a muscle strengthening exercise that is also very effective in burning lots of calories.
Jump ropes
This is using a skipping rope which helps exercise the arms, the legs and the cardiovascular system. It is a very cheap practice which involves performing the jumps using the rope, as many times as you can. Try to jump at least 15 minutes while using the pace of your choice.
This concentrates on exercising your legs, which consequently tone the lower body and an increase in the entire metabolism. You just need to stand straight, bend at your knees as if you want to sit, squat all the way close to the ground and then straighten your legs. Repeat the same process as many times as you can.
The above simple exercises are very effective in keeping your body healthy. They are cheap, saves a lot of time and you have the choice of doing any of them anytime. Try one or all of them every day, and you are assured of losing the extra weight and keeping your body fit.

By Army Staff Sgt. Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 13, 2008 The Army displayed its latest product line of clothing and equipment here today in the Pentagon courtyard.
Representatives of Program Executive Office Soldier gave Pentagon personnel a look at the Land Warrior System, the Common Remotely Operated Weapon System and the T-11 parachute. They also presented several new and improved shoulder-fired weapons, gloves, eye protection, and night vision gear.
"We're responsible for everything that the soldier wears, carries and uses in combat – uniforms, weapon systems, body armor, bomb suits, etcetera," said Army Sgt. Maj. Tom Coleman, the senior enlisted advisor for PEO Soldier.
The organization incorporates soldier-suggested improvements and modifies weapons systems, clothing and other equipment to enhance soldier effectiveness and increase their survivability in combat.
"Our team is continuously looking for ways to make improvements," Coleman said. "We're always looking to improve, and we're always looking for the next best thing. The soldiers are the number one priority."
Feedback and success is what PEO Soldier works for, Coleman said. "The most important thing we do is listen to the field, collect data on how the products are doing out there, and make improvements," he said.
Army Staff Sgt. James Young is one of the soldiers who provided feedback to PEO Soldier. Young serves as a squad leader with 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Wash. Today, he was at the Pentagon as an equipment demonstrator.
Young told people viewing his display that the Land Warrior System is the best piece of equipment the Army ever issued to him.
The Land Warrior System is a 10-pound, soldier-worn computer system designed to provide improved situational awareness and communication capabilities. It gives brigade commanders all the way down to the team leader to ability to quickly and accurately monitor dismounted elements through a helmet-mounted eye piece.
Soldiers outfitted with the Land Warrior System can mark targets cleared and adjust sectors of fire – if other units are in the area – using a computer mouse-type, hand-held control panel. Soldiers from 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team have been using the system successfully in Iraq for more than one year.
"There's no second guessing with the Land Warrior System," said Young who used the system during deployment in Iraq. "You can't get lost; you can't lose communication with adjacent teams and squads or brigade and battalion headquarters."
PEO Soldier's goal is to ensure equipment used by soldiers on the ground is put through the most rigorous testing possible, said Army Brig. Gen. R. Mark Brown, head of PEO Soldier.
PEO Soldier only buys equipment from suppliers who meet the Army's standards of safety and protection, Brown said. However, some gear, such as eye protection, gloves, rifle bi-pods, and tactical flashlights and boots purchased individually or with small-unit funds don't meet these standards of durability and quality. Often, manufacturer products labeled ballistic or flame resistant doesn't meet the Army's protection and safety standards.
"We've had several instances, in which soldiers and units have procured knock-off equipment," he added. "Today, PEO Soldier is starting a process to take care of that problem in a major way."
PEO Soldier unveiled its newly developed certification logo that will eventually be stamped on Army-approved equipment at the manufacturer level. The patented and trademarked logo reads, "Team Soldier Certified Gear" and incorporates the black and gold star from the Army logo, so soldiers and leaders can easily identify equipment that's meets Army standards.
As of now, only a family of flashlights and flame-resistant gloves are marked with the logo, but Brown said PEO Soldier will soon have the logo to other manufacturers, including survivability gear, such as body armor and eye protection.
Eventually, a list of all products and manufacturers marked with the logo will be compiled, and a list will be readily available for units and their soldiers, so they can purchase equipment with confidence that's it's approved by the highest standards, Brown concluded.

Economist Robert Shiller, author of "Irrational Exuberance" and now "Animal Spirits" with Nobel Economist George Akerlof, recently gave a lecture on animal spirits at the University of California Santa Barbara in the annual Snyder Lectures.
He attempted to explain to a packed audience why human emotions were such an important part of economic behavior. It is because we cannot know the future. And so we rely on either hunches or intuitive guesses for making decisions about the future—which are tied to our emotions. Hence we try to mitigate the uncertainty of future events with various degrees of optimism or pessimism.
In fact that should be no surprise to anyone in this recession. It is why one of the leading indicators of economic activity is consumer confidence, since how consumers feel about their prospects tends to determine what they both spend and save.
And consumers' confidence has finally begun to rise in both the University of Michigan and Conference Board surveys after a record drop. The Conference Board's Confidence Survey, a "representative sample of 5,000 U.S. households", surged more than 13 points to 39.2, while Michigan's index rose more moderately— 7.8 points to 65.1.
The Conference Board's expectations index that predicts activity 6 months out soared 19.3 points to 49.5, signaling a jump in 'animal spirits' that Shiller and Akerlof are talking about. Why are consumers becoming more confident?
There are many signs of an improving economy, for one. Real disposable personal income (after taxes and inflation) is soaring, up 6.2 percent, according to the first estimate of Q1 Gross Domestic Product growth, which is being translated into more consumer spending. Just Durable Goods' spending on more permanent products increased 9.4 percent in Q1, vs. a 22 percent drop in Q4 2008.
The increased income comes from lower inflation and taxes, with personal taxes down a huge $194 billion in Q1, vs. an increase of $19.7 in the last quarter, and no inflation in 2009 to date, as the enclosed chart shows.
Just as important is success of the credit easing moves by the Federal Reserve and Treasury. Almost all interest rates are at historic lows and lots of money is sloshing around with more than $2.5 trillion sitting on the sidelines in various money market accounts, which contributes to a growing feeling of wealth. This is also why the mortgage refinance market is booming.
And lastly, real estate is showing signs of life with property values back to 2004 levels. Pending existing-home sales, a forward looking indicator, is showing increased buyer traffic and even builders' confidence is higher of late.
All of this doesn't yet indicate that the recession is over. But just as irrational pessimism was generated by the loss of confidence in market institutions, whatever the cause, so can confidence be restored when the future looks more certain.

Memorial Service For Al WilliamsMemorial Service For Al Williamshttp://www.haverford.edu/calendar/details/261521Founders Great Hall2014-07-18T11:00:002014-07-18T13:00:00
July 18,2014 11:00AM–1:00PM
Founders Great Hall
Friends of former Haverford dean Al Williams are invited to reflect on his life at a memorial service on Friday, July 18th, in Founders Great Hall from 11 a.m.-1p.m. (Please note, the time listed in the new issue of Haverford magazine is incorrect.)
Al became part of the Haverford family in 1969 as a post-baccalaureate fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation in political science after getting a B.A. from Virginia Union University the year before. His academic credentials and experience in higher education testify to his faith in the power of education to transform lives, and prove that learning is not only for the young: he would go on to earn a J.D. from the University of Virginia, a masters degree in political science from Villanova University, become certified in multiple areas of the law by institutions including Harvard, and do coursework toward a doctorate at St. Joseph's University.
Al's lengthy administrative career at Haverford – augmented by teaching – began in 1972 when he returned to campus as an assistant director of admissions after obtaining his law degree. During the next decade, he became dean of student affairs with additional responsibilities as pre-law advisor and affirmative action officer. A transition to the law in the early 1980's saw him hold a variety of positions including law clerk with the state Superior Court, staff attorney in both private practice as well as on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, and assistant general counsel for Prudential Insurance in AARP Operations.
He once again served Haverford as part-time pre-law advisor while teaching English and History on Episcopal Academy's Merion campus for 8 years, through 2008.
