Root 1 Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, South America
Winemaker's Notes
Pale green in color, concentrated aromas with tropical fruit and citrus notes. Great acidity with fresh lime and grapefruit balanced by soft minerality on the palate. Bright and crisp with rich fruit expression and an elegant finish.
Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing and pairs delightfully well with many types of foods. Try it with fresh summer salads, grilled oysters, or baked salmon. A great match with smoked ham and cheesy potato casserole, or lemon-herbed chicken with spring vegetable risotto.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Minerality and passion fruit aromas control the bouquet. The palate is fresh and zesty, with grapefruit, lime and green apple flavors. Holds its form and tightness on the finish, staying juicy and fresh from front to back.
Best Buy"
International Wine Cellar - "Pale, green-tinged straw. Expressive bouquet of quinine, pear and white flowers. Taut and focused, offering lively orchard fruit flavors with a hint of bitter citrus pith. Finishes with good cut and lift, leaving a gently sweet orange note behind."
Root 1 Winery
The grapes for Root:1 are hand picked from two of Chile's most well known viticultural regions, Maipo and Colchagua. The wine is grown, harvested, blended, and bottled to create a balanced, fruit forward, expressive Cabernet true to the terroir of Chile's best viticultural regions. View all Root 1 Wines
About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

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

The romantic atmosphere of Paris will soon be experienced here in the country with the launch of South Forbes Golf City's newest project, Châteaux de Paris. "Our newest innovative project at South Forbes will feature homes inspired by the grandeur of the lovely city of Paris.
Paris, many people say, is the most romantic city in the world. The sweet aroma of love permeates the whole city. A sparkling glass of red wine caps lunch with a beloved. A candlelight dinner is best reserved at the glitzy Ritz. And of course, a passionate kiss can be exchanged at the top of the Eiffel Tower amidst the glittering lights of Paris' enchanting nightscape.
Residents enter Chateaux de Paris through a main gate that provides a strong dramatic approach. Cobblestone paving, formal rows of trees, and a feature wall along the approach immediately bring about the feeling of a French-inspired development. A fountain at the middle of the gate and abundant lighting at night to accentuate the property are other French design concepts that have been incorporated in the plans.

My art on the cover of new Tin House Books catalog
So, according to this Tweet / Twitter from my publisher Tin House Books, my illustration for page 534 of Moby-Dick, which you can see right here was used as the cover of the new Tin House Books catalog. Here's a shot of the catalog...
That illustration is easily one of my favorites from the entire Moby-Dick series, and probably one of the best drawings I've ever done. I'm immensely fond of it, and I think it looks quite nice on the cover of that catalog. Hopefully Tin House will send me one so I can take a look for myself. Only 6 more months until the art book hits the shelves!
4 comments:
Congratulations on the cover! This was an epic illustration. Did you do the coloring yourself or did the tin house people wash it in? I like the subtle colors here. I've always been intrigued by the division of labor among comic book artists, inkers, and colorists. Always wondered how often one says to the other, "no, that's not what I meant at all?"ReplyDelete
Very cool indeed, Buck!ReplyDelete
And Winston, the coloring in this piece was all done by me. It started as a pen and ink drawing on plain white watercolor paper, and then I painstakingly added layer after layer of almost translucent grey wash to parts of the piece to get that effect. I wanted it to look like those incredibly beautiful Arthur Rackham fairy tale and myth illustrations, and it actually came pretty close. Tin House did a great job of taking what I'm sure was an imperfect scan and tweaking it just enough to really bring out the warmth and translucency of that ink wash.
i love the look of thisReplyDelete
i am amzed to constently rediscover drawings i had necessarily seen along the way and that seem brand new as i scroll through you list or in the case of this...

Having received a pass for my thesis yesterday I decided to celebrate by posting the first of what will be many posts about Peterson's definition of the pastoral vocation.. I'd love to hear from other "Petersonites" out there. For those of us who journey with Peterson's writings will know that it can be a lonely road. I plan to post a little bit of my thesis every week and I'd love to have feedback from people and hear how people are putting into practice the things Peterson talks about.
I first heard of Eugene Peterson when a friend handed me "Under the Unpredictable Plant: An Exploration in Vocational Holiness". To say that it saved my ministry is an understatement. Having been beat up and broken down by ministry this book rekindled the vocational call to pastoral ministry. After reading this book I enrolled in the Masters program. On a personal level it is somewhat fitting that I should complete my Masters' degree by writing about Peterson. I hope what i share with you will be a blessing.
The Pastor: An Introduction
Among pastors, Eugene Peterson stands among the twentieth century's best-known pastors and writers. Many have drawn upon his words for guidance and encouragement as they seek to discern the way of Jesus in pastoral ministry.
Peterson's theology of the pastoral vocation was not developed in the confines of an academic chair or mega-church pulpit; for nearly 30 years he pastored the same suburban Maryland congregation where for most of the time he worked as a solo pastor.
His approach to the pastoral vocation often stands at odds with much of the popular ministry literature today. In fact, he usually ignores modern ministry trends, opting instead for voices from the grave, arguing in the words of G.K. Chesterton "Tradition is the only true democracy because it means giving a vote to your ancestors. If we count only the votes on their feet at this moment, we are making a small minority make the decision."[1]
Ironically, Peterson did not originally intend on being a pastor. He began his career as an academic. He wanted to immerse himself in the world of learning and teaching and, initially, pastoral work was a part-time job that paid the bills until a full-time teaching position opened up. However, in the process of paying the bills Peterson began to sense a call to the ministry.[2] On reflection, Peterson admits he had always been a pastor and God had been at work in him forming the pastoral vocation since his childhood. [3]
Eugene Peterson has written over thirty books, including a full translation of the Holy Scriptures known as "The Message."[4] Upon retiring from pastoral work in 1989, Peterson accepted a teaching position at Canada's Regent College as the James M. Houston Professor of Spiritual Theology.[5] Here he turned his attention to spiritual theology.
In light of his staggering achievements as both pastor and professor, it is therefore somewhat surprising to read the words penned by Peterson at the conclusion of his memoir:
As I reflect on my fifty years in this pastoral vocation, it strikes me right now as curious that I have almost no sense of achievement. Doesn't that seem odd? What I remember are the little detours into proud and astray that I experienced, the near misses, the staggering recoveries or semi recoveries of who I was and what I was about.[6]
To many such a statement may appear odd. However, it is a thoroughly understandable statement from a man who has dedicated his life to understanding, living out, and writing about the pastoral vocation.
Of the 30 plus books Eugene Peterson has written, a vast number address – both directly and indirectly – the pastoral vocation. Throughout these writings, common themes emerge. However, at no point does Peterson specifically define the pastoral vocation. Instead, he develops "images and metaphors that give shape to a spirituality adequate to the pastoral work."[7] Peterson borrows Stanley Hauerwas' phrase that "we are as we come to see" and one does not come to see by "exercising willpower"; but "by training our vision through metaphors and symbols that constitute our central conviction."[8] These metaphors and images emerge for Peterson as his definition.
In light of this, it is my intention to explore the metaphors and images that Eugene Peterson uses to define the pastoral vocation. It will do so by exploring Peterson's various writings and identifying the images and metaphors that define his understanding of the pastoral vocation.

TK WASP Tournament series, write up by Devon
The event started off on a fresh morning with the temperature in the single digits. As I got to the field in the morning I had a tech table set up ready to help anyone with Dye or Proto markers and to make sure they were all fine tuned and ready for the day. I had to do a bit of work on my own marker because I was given the opportunity to play with teams that I could not turn down.
The TK WASP Tournament series has 2 divisions a Pro and Amateur division. Games are played as a standard 5 man to 1 point on a Race 2 field. One thing that works out really well is that the level of play from the lower division teams is on the incline because at each event every team plays everyone regardless of division. Then they total up the points, find the winners of the 2 divisions and also overall placing. This is great because the Am teams can really see where they stood against the Pros.
After the day was done STK had won the event in the Pro division and Wrecking won the Am division and also finished third overall with all the teams combined. Players in WA watch out for the Wrecking Crew as they will be a force to face as they keep training the way they have been.
WASP have excellent facilities from the paintball fields, 9 hole golf course, tennis courts, squash court and also a country club so when you finish your 9 holes of golf , and a day of paintball you can sit down and relax. Order a few drinks and some food and recap the day with all the "war stories." The club house was where the trophy presentation took place and all the teams stuck around to hang out. Unlike other events I have been to everyone stayed to watch the awards. It was awesome and just showed that the event was based on having fun and making sure everyone was happy. There were some prizes donated by Dye to players who stood out and also to teams who earned it.
A big thank you to EVERYONE at WASP Paintball for always being a great host to myself and for putting on a great event. If you have ever wanted to play an event in Western Australia I would suggest adding this event series to your list.

Gossip Girl
Leighton Meester's Mom Withdraws Lawsuit! Gossip Girl Star's Legal Troubles Finally Resolved
Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair) can breathe a heavy sigh of relief, as it appears the lengthy legal battle between her and her mother, Constance, has finally come to an end, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In July, Leighton sued Constance in LA Superior Court over $7,500 payments she'd been providing to cover her brother's medical expenses, which she alleged were being misused by her mother for cosmetic procedures ― Botox, hair extensions, plastic surgery, etc. When Constance countered by claiming $3 million in damages for support owed to her after she'd "sacrificed her happiness" for years in service of Leighton's career, it embroiled the two in a legal battle. Months later, it's finally coming to a close... for reasons just as inexplicable as those which began it.
Last month, Constance Meester withdrew her claims and lawsuit against Leighton. Last Wednesday (December 7), a judge ordered the suit stricken, and granted a declaration outlined in the original suit that claims there are officially no contractual obligations between the parties.
So what does that mean? Basically: Leighton is totally in the clear now, and her mother has essentially backed off. While we're sure the ruling is a relief to all involved, we're also hoping that all the drama over the past few months can at some point be overcome by the much-beleaguered family...

PARIS, TX-- A Paris woman, who is already on probation after her infant tested positive for meth in 2012, is back behind bars facing more drug charges.
Paris Detectives say 26-year old Sheree Hutchings, 25-year old Darell Johnson and two others were arrested in the 200 block of SE 16th Street.
Hutchings is charged with two counts of manufacturing or delivering prescription drugs, possession of meth and marijuana. Johnson was charged with possession with intent to deliver over 40 grams of synthetic marijuana.
"Synthetic marijuana is a problem worldwide, it's not just located here in Paris," said Public Information Officer Curtis Garrett. "We're finding more and more of it here, just like they are finding more and more everywhere."
Police believe synthetic marijuana is being brought to Paris from the Metroplex.

First news, was of Rakuten (the online shopping mall we covered in Episode 014) switching to using English in their meetings as well as their purchase of buy.com for US $250 million. Next we talked about our new video camera, the DSLR Canon EOS Kiss x4 (also known as the Rebel T2i or EOS 550D, depending on where you are). What do you think of the video and sound quality, compared to previous episodes? And also we have a new video editor (me), so if you notice any problems just leave a comment and I will personally look into it.
The next part, is a new segment, which we named Ken's 30 seconds, even though a little bit longer than that. Ken introduces the way he learns Chinese and how you can learn Japanese via Smart.fm brought to you by Cerego Japan. As a sidenote, Kim of jisho.org (one of the best online Japanese <-> English dictionaries) works there.
Of course, the iPad in Japan is a topic that we could hardly not mention, especially with the whole sim-lock nonsense from Apple and Softbank. Hiro's reserved his iPad, and I've decided not to get one. On a related note, since he is getting the wifi only model, he gives his final verdict on the emobile vs WiMax.
Finally we mentioned WordCamp Yokohama, Japan's 4th big WordPress meet-up. Hiro promises interviews, which I will do my best to edit and get ready soon. Disappointingly the videos we sent to WordPress.tv of WordCamp Kyoto never seemed to have appeared. We'll probably be posting these to messa.tv directly.
Hope you enjoyed this episode, as ever we are delighted to get feedback whether good or bad. Leave us a comment or send us an email!
My wife and i have been absolutely thrilled when Chris managed to complete his research out of the ideas he had while using the blog. It's not at all simplistic to just happen to be handing out secrets and techniques which men and women may have been trying to sell. And we understand we have got the website owner to appreciate for this. The most important illustrations you've made, the easy blog navigation, the relationships you will aid to instill – it's most incredible, and it's leading our son in addition to us know that the content is fun, and that's quite important. Thanks for everything!
One other important aspect is that if you are a senior citizen, travel insurance pertaining to pensioners is something that is important to really consider. The mature you are, the greater at risk you might be for making something awful happen to you while in another country. If you are definitely not covered by some comprehensive insurance, you could have a few serious difficulties. Thanks for sharing your guidelines on this website.

1. The trailer alone had more funny in it than every comedy Hollywood has crapped out so far this year (except for Little Man – that was HILARIOUS!), so this isn't particularly surprising. And people really, really love watching Will Ferrell yell and scream – $47 million
2. I guess Babe, Chicken Run and Racing Stripes just couldn't feed America's insatiable appetite for animated manure – $16 million
3. Man, do you guys have any idea what a person can do with eleventy bajillion dollars? Cause there are a couple dudes at Disney who would really love to know – $11 million

We heard this cliche that the third time is a charm. We figured we'd give it a shot with this blog.
Not that we've been unsatisfied with the now 9-month-old Cat Scratches, but we've decided it was time for a new look, one more suited for a blog. So today, I'm proud to unveil Cat Scratches version 3.0.
I won't take too much time to run over the details of the new blog because you can browse through and experiment for yourself, but the biggest additions to the new Cat Scratches format is that it has all the components of what a blog is all about.
No longer will you have to write in e-mails to post your thoughts (although we'll still gladly accept your opinion at firstname.lastname@example.com ). With the new blog, you'll now be able to post comments, pending our approval.
Each post will now have its own separate entry. Instead of going to posts for each day of the week, everything we'll be provided in one scroll-down feature. You can click on each post to view it by itself, which will also allow for the new RSS feed to work how it was designed to. Instead of getting just one update a day through the feed, you'll now receive an update every time we make a post. We encourage you to re-subscribe in the box on the right sidebar.
While you're over there, take the time to peruse through the other blog features. Instead of cycling through a lost list of archives, we have a much more organized and easy-to-use calendar that will archive each and every post. Below that are some links to Kentucky's best coverage of newspapers, Web sites and blogs, as well our UKAthleticsNews Twitter feed and tags to find related posts.
More than anything, the redesign was created for you, the fans. It's a much easier to read, more interactive blog than we used before, and we're hoping to connect you even closer with UK Athletics.
As we switch over to the new format, there will more than likely be a few kinks to work out, so be patient. However, we would appreciate any feedback you all have. If there is something you don't like or a component you hope we can add, please let us know by commenting on a post or sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Yes, the domain name has changed and yes, you'll have to re-bookmark subscribe to the RSS feed, but it's worth doing again. We're still UK's official blog of UK Athletics and we're out to provide you the most comprehensive, balanced, inside coverage of UK's athletics programs.
And this time we promise to stick around a little longer. At least we hope so.

Removing something from emunand doesn't affect the real NAND in any way. That is the purpose for emunand
I believe the thing about Priiloader not having the region free settings recommended in the guide is mainly cause it only affects playing games off discs whereas we usually recommend USB loading which is region free without needing to enable it. So if you have a game you've imported from, let's say Japan, it won't play via the disc channel without turning on region free first.
As for the amount of space on the emunand, it's hard to say precisely. I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Emunand will always occupy 512mb on the SD/USB device (which ever you set it up to use. The reason for that is because that's the size of the Wii's NAND. You can't ever have a emunand with more or less than 512mb. As for the space free on it, that would be determined by a few factors. If it's a freshly set up NAND ripped from your real NAND it will have the same amount of space as the real NAND. If you set it up as a "blank" NAND it should have around 2,000 blocks free.
Basically there are too many variables for me to tell you exactly how much space will be free on it.

Tips on What To Do in Naples
Resort types might choose to fill their days swinging golf clubs and enjoying spa treatments at one of Naples' many facilities. Nature lovers will find plenty to see at the many nature preserves that surround the city. Couples can while away their vacation by lounging on the sand, shopping in Old Naples and filling up at the many upscale steak and seafood restaurants.
- Best bets: Alligator Bay (don't miss the feedings), Leopard Rock, and Primate Expedition Cruises, which sail past islands of spider monkeys, lemurs, and siamangs." -- Away.com
- Why Go? Seashell-strewn white sand beaches without high-rise condos, sleepy and romantic without a swinging singles scene, wilder than wild: The Everglades' alligators, crocodiles, and West Indian manatees." -- Concierge.com
Naples beaches are known for their accessibility. Travelers staying in Old Naples have only to walk to the end of the avenues to reach the Gulf's white sand and sparkling waters. Recent leisure travelers particularly recommend the beach by Naples Pier because of its proximity to the establishments of downtown Naples. Other well-liked facilities include Clam Pass County Park and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, both at Naples' northern end. At the park, you can rent kayaks and other beach equipment. You can also head south of the city to Marco Island, where you can lounge on the beach and water-ski.
- Unlike many Florida cities, where you have to drive over to a barrier island to reach the beach, this city's beach is right in Old Naples." -- Frommer's
- Head straight to Naples Pier in time for the sunset -- an impressive show that beckons tourists and Neapolitans alike; some tote lawn chairs and coolers to the beach below." -- New York Times
Yes, Naples is primarily a beach destination, but it's also known for its other nature attractions. Recent travelers rave about the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, which features 13,000 acres of lush trees and plants, as well as hundreds of bird species and sometimes alligators. Although it's about 45 minutes away, the drive to the expansive Everglades National Park is well worth the trip. Go for a guided boat ride through the Everglades to see the area wildlife.
- While this is a self-guided walk [at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary], volunteer naturalists along the route will answer questions. Depending on the season, you may spot alligators moving through the grasses, black bears in the pinelands, or raccoons and otters." -- Concierge.com
- At the Conservancy of Southwest Florida's Naples Nature Center, … you'll find nature trails and an aviary (with bald eagles and other birds). You can take guided boat rides on the hour, between 10am and 3pm, weather permitting. ... You can also rent a canoe or kayak and see the area by yourself." -- Frommer's
Activities for Couples
Naples' quiet and lazy ambience lends itself well to lovebirds. We recommend a nice meal in one of the many high-end restaurants here, then a stroll along Naples Pier or past Millionaires' Row for a fantastic view of the setting sun.
- Naples isn't exactly a hot town with the younger set, it caters more to the babyboomer billionaire set, so don't come looking for nightlife -- the entire city pretty much shuts down by 10pm. But if you're looking for a top romantic beach on the Gulf of Florida, it's pretty hard to beat this genteel beach town with its serene atmosphere, delicious seafood and amazing sunsets." -- Lonely Planet
Attractions for Kids
Should you have your young ones in tow (though we advise against it), you will find a handful of kid-friendly spots. Besides the beaches, Naples also offers the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens and the Children's Museum (opening in the fall of 2011).
- A family stroll on historic Naples Fishing Pier is required; you might see leaping dolphins." -- Away.com
- Amid the quiet charm of Naples, get ready to hear roaring lions, singing siamangs, and laughing. ... Just a mile from world-class beaches, get wildly close to big cats, have fun chatting with keepers, and cruise on a guided boat tour past islands of monkeys, lemurs, and apes." -- Trip Advisor

A New Vision for Funding Science
The gap between the lab and the field—between the work of scientific discovery and the achievement of social impact—has grown wider in recent years. So, not coincidentally, has the gap between philanthropic funding for university-based research and venture funding for the commercialization of products and services. But the emerging practice of philanthropic investment holds the potential to close this dual gap.
The power of science to change the world should be self-evident. Consider the immeasurable impact that science and engineering innovation had on social conditions during the 20th century. The first half of the century produced the assembly line, the airplane, penicillin, and a vaccine for tuberculosis; the second half brought the eradication of polio and smallpox. Scientists harnessed the power of the sun with photo voltaic cells, invented the birth control pill, and sequenced the human...

... Exeter to Barcelona for �32, yes �32 - incredible but it does take over 30 hours :-( still good to know though. We are thinking, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Ronda, Granada - Andalucia because of all the typical white spanish houses !! easily pleased lol - nothing to do with the tapas :-).

... can change from lovely & sunny to overcast in such a short time. As the saying goes " make hay while the sun shines" is certainly true. It was back to our second night at our beachfront hotel at Torquay after some roadworks which slowed us up a little. But soon we were at our hotel & a rest before our farewell dinner at the hotel restaurant overlooking Torbay. ...
Cardiff to Torquay
... hotel. As it was a lovely evening decided a view on the "eye" wheel - only 1/2 the size of the "London" eye. It was a photo shoot before we entered the capsule & around we went twice. A reasonable £6 for one adult was a good deal. Dinner at a pleasant bar & it was back to our hotel for a good night sleep but no view of the sea. Great end to a wonderful day. ...

We had an uneventful and long flight but cannot ever see us getting used to 22 hour flights.
We took the train from London to Exeter, and were soon travelling past beautiful green trees and pastures and then into farming country.

UKIP has developed a range of policies
Posted: January 18, 2013|
DAVID Page's LETTER (Your Say, January 15) regarding UKIP's policies made for interesting reading, being factual and thought provoking.
UKIP started out 20 years ago as a one-issue party, namely the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union.
That particular baton has not been dropped, but, much more importantly, we have subsequently developed a full range of policies, covered in our national and local manifestos.
Immigration, defence, policing, health, planning, education, transport, housing, taxation and democracy among others.
We are now the third party in politics, ousting the Liberal Democrats into fourth place, and could not have achieved this without these policies being in place.
Mr Jones' ungentlemanly letter (January 15) describing Mrs Blunkett's letter as a rant requires an answer when his own facts are inaccurate.
Whether he supports UKIP or not is irrelevant. If you are putting your own point of view across, and everyone is entitled to do so, at least make the points factually correct.
To say the EU has been the foundation for peace for 60 years is not correct. This role can be put down to NATO as being the power behind the peacekeeping.
Even today if you watch TV there are street riots in the Southern European countries, fighting for their freedom.
Europe is in danger of ever increasing civil unrest due to EU policies with far right extremist parties taking an increasing share of the votes; something nobody wants.
Commission on currency exchanges still occurs as we are not part of the Eurozone anyway.

China Hydroelectric Corporation, a consolidator, developer and operator of small hydro projects, has signed definitive agreements to acquire a portion of the previously announced Minrui hydro projects in China's Yunnan Province, wire services reported.
CHC had previously announced the execution of a memorandum of understanding to acquire 100 percent of the Minrui group of projects, which included four operating hydroelectric projects aggregating 66 megawatts, three projects under construction aggregating 125 megawatts and the development rights to nine projects aggregating 341 megawatts.
The executed definitive agreements include three of these Minrui operating hydroelectric projects, totaling 55.5 megawatts, reports indicate. The new definitive agreements provide for the company to acquire the three operating hydroelectric projects for a purchase price of US$60.8 million (RMB415.3 million).
The acquisition is expected to be financed through cash on hand and bank financing expected to be provided under the terms of the company's previously announced Loan Framework Agreement with the Bank of China's Fujian Branch. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining governmental approvals.
CHC continues to work toward the completion of this acquisition and the pending acquisition of the 44-MW Xiaopengzu project, also in Yunnan Province, as well as on finalizing acquisitions of additional projects for which the company has entered into memoranda of understanding.
China Hydroelectric Corporation recently completed the purchase of the 19-MW Husahe hydropower project in China's Yunnan Province.

Gravedigger and his assistant
"Come on, dig the grave much deeper. You always dig such shallow graves, and then the coffin is too close to the surface, causing too many cosmetic problems with the cemetery, never mind the vegetation."
"Come on, now, Ralph." The gravedigger drew a deep breath on his cigarette, preferring to absorb the nitrates as deeply as possible; he did not seem to care or notice how shallow his breathing had become over the years, a little too labored, a little too soon.
"I said, come on!"
Ralph grumbled something like not really my boss, while spitting on the ground. But he took bigger sweeps with the shovel. He dug deeper.
"Heard who we're digging the grave for? Old Mr. Hines, the one who lived alone all his life and never came to the community gatherings; never gossiped, but those who claimed to have known him told tall tales of his younger years on a farm in South Africa."
Ralph muttered "Good for him." He dug deeper.
"Anyway, Ralph, looks to me he was a wealthy landowner in South Africa, accumulating much wealth after he served in WW II. Rumor had it though he lost almost all that he had because of a bribe necessary to keep him out of jail. He killed a woman and her small child. He killed them."
The gravedigger lit a second cigarette. His talking seemed to distract him from his task. Ralph kept digging.
"Mr. Hines fled the country. Rumor had it he became a recluse, rarely seen around town. Please prepare the grave for a pauper, heh, heh." The gravedigger flicked some of his ash into the opening in the thawing spring soil; he seemed to smile down at the smoldering embers as they hit the softening earth. Ralph kept digging. A soft rain began to fall, ever so gently. Their shoulders and the tops of their heads became moist, the raindrops reflecting the flickering dim light of the streetlights near the entrance to the cemetery.
"Alright, we're almost through. Let's finish up and call it a day."
Ralph took a few more sweeps with his assistant's shovel. He wiped his brow, and then attempted to dry his hand on his damp jacket. It was futile: he lifted his face to the drops and let the sweat and tears mingle with the rain. Tears he shed for his father, who died alone.
Tears he shed because his father is to be buried in this very grave.
A final glance, a grey yellow streak breaking up the heavy edges of the twilight sky, and the gravedigger departs.

Ritual of Fire
Announcing an Upcoming Novel in the World of Fireborn
A few bodies lay nearby—the rest of her security detail. Most were too badly burnt to recognize and were obviously dead. Scott struggled to remember their names. They'd transferred in when Elsa had been elevated to a Cabinet post, three grim young men with steel in their eyes who barely spoke more than a dozen words to her "existing security detail." They were ex-military; he'd come up through Metro PD. The oldest among them was ten years younger than he was—they thought he was quaint. Their presence had changed the relationship he'd shared with Elsa. She'd grown distant and cold. He'd become just another faceless member of her detail.
The heat here was intense enough that melted plastic fell in fiery raindrops from the roof, landing on a sweater display a few feet away. The wool had caught and was now blazing merrily.
Suddenly he caught sight of a shadowy figure moving through the smoke on the periphery of the sales floor. Thinking it might be a firefighter dragging a long hose behind him, he called out. It looked toward him, revealing a demonic face with hideously bulging eyes and sallow, sunken-in cheeks. A gas mask, Scott thought at first, but then the figure reached up to its face and scratched the black rubbery substance as if that was its skin.
Fantasy Flight games is excited to announce the upcoming release of Ritual of Fire, a novel by Jordan Ellinger set in the Fireborn universe!
A Shocking Discovery
When a popular politician survives what should have been a fatal assassination attempt, MI5 agent Scott Baker begins to suspect a terrifying truth.

Description: Freescale's MAG3110 is a small, low-power, digital 3-axis magnetometer. The device can be used in conjunction with a 3-axis accelerometer to produce orientation independent accurate compass heading information. It features a standard I2C serial interface output and smart embedded functions. It's also a tiny QFN package which isn't very easy to play with so here is our easy to use breakout board. This board breaks out all of the pins for the MAG3110 to a standard 0.1" header and also supplies the necessary filtering capacitors so that you can easily use it in your next navigation project.
Note: You will need to use a logic level converter if you are using an Arduino Uno or similar 5V logic device. Even if 3.3V is to be supplied to the VDD, an Uno putting out 5V logic can still fry this breakout.
Dimensions: 13.3 x 14.5 mm
The sample code doesn't compile with the current Arduino environment. The calls to the Wire
send method need to change to
write and the
receive method should be
read. Or you can grab it from my gist.
If you want to do a pull request on our GitHub repo, we'd gladly accept those updates! We prefer the pull request because it gives a history showing all the awesome contributors from the community.
I'll gladly do a pull request, but as far as I can determine, there is no existing repo for the example code.
Whoops! Looked at the wrong repo yesterday. The files are in there now - we keep all the code in the individual product's repository. Sorry about that!
Hey guys, just a heads up that there is a error in the coordinate system marked on the breakout. On the top side, the z-axis points down. On the bottom silk screen, the z-axis is drawn correctly, but the arrow for x is mirrored from the correct orientation! Handy breakout, but this did cause some confusion when looking at the sign of some of the data. Thx!
Is see that this is an update to the SEN-10619 MAG3110 breakout, which no longer is available. Aside from making the I2C pull-ups optional, the features of this version 12 breakout are the same as the prior version 11. So why did you change the pinout? Keeping the pinout the same would have let me use this version-12 breakout on my 35 circuit boards, which are designed for the version-11 pinout.
Is there something particularly appealing about this magnetometer I am missing? It only have a FSR of 10 Gauss and is sensitive to 1 milligauss, which doesn't seem to be competitive with other current MR(I am guessing based on the need for a reset current) parts with similar power consumption.
How about an inexpensive board with both the accerometer, and magnetometer?
check out our IMUs, I believe we have a few 9DOFs (also have a gyroscope) on a single chip that are pretty cheap.
Based on 1 ratings:
It's perfectly good and does what it says, but it would be even better with a logic level converter.

This instructible will show you how to quickly and easily build your own tilt activated color changing light cube!
Step 1: What you'll need
1) 3 5mm rgb slow fading LEDs (look on ebay. I found 50 for $12)
2) 1 baseball display box (hobby store, $2.99)
3) clear glass marbles (hobby store $.99)
4) 1 9v battery holder (Radio Shack, $.99)
5) 9v battery clip (Radio Shack approx $3 for 5)
6) 1 sub-mini momentary switch (Radio Shack $1.50)
7) soldering iron
8) glue gun
Step 2: Assembling the electronics
First solder your LEDs in series. I used 3 5mm LEDs that have a forward voltage of approx 3.2v, so in this project I didn't use a resistor with the 9v battery. Solder the LEDs so that the positive (the longer leg) of one goes to the negative (shorter leg) of the next. Next, solder your negative battery clip wire to the positive end one of your end LEDs.
I needed a hole in the bottom of the cube for the momentary switch and found that the soldering iron did an ideal job. I melted the hole to the right size and slipped the switch in. When the plastic cooled, the switch was secure. The actually switch part sticks out just enough from the bottom to be pressed when the cube is set down with a little pressure.
Finally, solder the positive lead of the battery clip to one of the switch posts, and the final LED leg to the other post.
Test your connections with the battery. If all is well, use a drop of glue on each of the 3 supports made to hold the baseball and secure your LEDs. trim any excess.
now if i could wire up a pressure switch it would turn on when ever i set something on it, oh yea; also some sort of randomizer circut and you could have a different color every time you set your glass on it!
BTW, I recently acquired a classic metal gumball machine on a stand and will be making a new project with it involving the glass marbles and LEDs. It's just going to have to wait until after the holidays. I'll post it on Instructibles of course!
- s3
this site is the goto site for LEDs and resistors :)
Can anyone find some reasonably priced micro, non-mercury tilt switches that don't ship from overseas? Sometimes waiting for a shipment from China hurts too much.
Thanks again. This cute little build has me hooked now :)

You fucken whinging sooks had Bungie exclusively for a decade for Christ's sake. Now that they show Sony some love you run crying to mummy screaming "they don't love me anymore". Grow the fuck up.
If there is no third person I won't be buying it
It could be a unique experience on PS4 though as they could do some cool features with the PS4's pad light bar, touch pad and speaker etc
They clearly are, but who cares, lots of developers favour one platform over another. They're just trying to have it both ways which makes them look worse.

TheologyDownload the program description (PDF)
The STB (Sacrae Theologiae Baccalaureatus) is a bachelor's degree open to any who desire an ecclesiastical degree. The University offers the degree by virtue of its pontifical charter. Students who successfully complete the degree also receive the Bachelor of Theology (civil) degree. The program is structured according to the norms of the apostolic constitution Sapientia Christiana and the ecclesiastical statutes of Saint Paul University. Offering a classical formation in theology, the program is suitable both as a preparation for various ministries and for graduate research. The degree is a requirement for any students who wish to do the Licentiate in Theology as well as for candidates for presbyteral ministry in the Catholic Church.
Students who wish to register for the STB should have successfully completed a minimum of 36 university credits in philosophy (or equivalent). If, however, a student does not yet have this minimum of courses in philosophy, he/she can begin studies in theology while completing the philosophy courses at the beginning of the program. In all cases, the Director of Undergraduate Studies will approve the philosophy courses in order to verify that they conform to the spirit of the apostolic constitution Sapientia Christiana and the ecclesiastical statutes of Saint Paul University.
The STB program therefore comprises of 156 credits : 36 credits for the philosophical formation and 120 credits for the theological formation.

South Carolina signed a high-scoring guard from New York in Thaddeus Hall as part of Frank Martin's first signing class as the Gamecocks' head basketball coach.
Hall, however, was unable to qualify after high school and has kind of been low-key ever since. Well, over the weekend, Hall surfaced at one of his high school's former games and told some media members in attendance that he still plans to enroll at South Carolina.
Right now, Hall plans to attend South Plains JUCO in Texas for the next year before heading to South Carolina. He's sitting out the year at JUCO because he enrolled late and will become a part of the team as a sophomore.
If there is a player you want to root for, it's Thaddeus Hall. He's been homeless, spending two years living in a homeless shelter, along with academic issues, due in large part of staying about 2.5 hours away from his former high school. He comes from single family and just overcame plenty of obstacles to be able to continue his career at one of the highest levels.
The wait-and-see here will be whether things work out like Hall wants them to right now, but I'd imagine Frank Martin would be willing to welcome him to the team if Hall is able to keep his academics in order.
South Carolina needs the talent. Now, let's hope Hall can make it in.

The Edinburgh side began the season with a 10-point penalty for going into administration, with their financial problems leading to the creation of the Foundation of Hearts.
More than 7,000 supporters have already signed up to the foundation, which was named preferred bidder for Hearts earlier in August.
Southern is one of those and he believes the club can be run successfully for "many generations to come" if enough supporters pledge their support.
"The departure of the former owner (Vladimir Romanov) and board presents an opportunity to establish certainty and stabilise the club for future generations," he said in an open letter to fans.
"We are now being asked to step forward when our club needs us most. There is a 'cost' but, in my own view, it is negligible when compared to the cost of not securing the club now.
"This is our moment. If we hesitate, it may not just be the moment that is gone.
"Hearts is a club of the people, it always has been. If anyone ever needed proof of that it has been demonstrated time and time again particularly in recent months, and not simply in financial terms.
"As Hearts supporters you can rightly take pride in how you do things, not just what you do.
"I know I speak on behalf of the staff at Tynecastle when I thank you for your ongoing efforts to secure a more stable future for the club.
"The dignity shown throughout such trying times is as valuable as any sum of money that has been raised.
"For this reason, it is only right that you are now in pole position to take ownership of the club.
"There is no reason why Hearts should not remain as one of the biggest and potentially most successful clubs in Scottish football."

Earlier this month, Google announced that it had become the largest public DNS service in the world, handling an average of more than 70 billion requests a day. From Google's point of view, this was great. As it pointed out in its official blog, a good DNS service helps make the Web faster and more secure. That's true. But is a giant DNS in Google's hands really good for the world?
The DNS or Domain Name System is often described as the "phone book" of the Internet, but that analogy tends to understate its importance. Imagine that you've suddenly landed in the middle of a giant megalopolis without any street names or building addresses or distinguishing characteristics and no working GPS. That would be the Internet without a domain name system.
But while the DNS system is criticial for planetary communications, helping to run it typically hasn't brought anyone power or glory. This led to a certain amount of neglect, which in turn created a business opportunity for companies willing to tackle the job of improving DNS.
Three years ago, I sat down with David Ulevitch, a developer who founded OpenDNS in 2005 to help make the Internet faster and more reliable for individuals and businesses by providing a better domain name service. At the time, OpenDNS had built a small but profitable business providing improved DNS for free to individuals and for a fee to enterprises. It later grew to operate the largest network of public DNS servers, serving millions of users around the world.
Unlike Google, Ulevitch has never struck me as being obsessed with world domination, so I reached out to him this week to ask what he thought of Google's entry, and now colossal presence, in the space.
What are the implications of Google being the largest public DNS service? Is this good for ordinary people who use the Internet?
First, I think it's a clear indication that Google takes DNS seriously. I've always said that Google's purview is limited to everything between the user and the advertisement. DNS fits squarely within those sights and cuts across a number of strategic areas of focus for Google—speed, security, analytics and control. I think efforts to make the Internet faster is good for ordinary people, but I think that there's more to Google's motives then pure benevolence. That's not to say good can't be a byproduct, but rather, there are ancillary benefits that may not be as friendly to the ordinary Internet user.
With DNS, it's possible to control key components of Internet navigation. Google already controls search, they are quickly gaining market share to control the browser, and when you put in DNS, it becomes the trifecta of complete navigational control. The "omnibox" is something Google introduced with Chrome, but I actually introduced it to Google PM Sundar Pichai a number of years before Chrome existed when demoing our vision for OpenDNS to him as he was then the PM for Google Toolbar, and other Google desktop products.
What role has Google played in the DNS ecosystem? Do you see them as a competitor or a partner?
Google has helped raise the importance of DNS above the network engineering community, which has been really good. They've also worked with us to advance the state of the art for DNS performance, something we've really enjoyed working with them to make happen. It's not so much competition as it is choice in the market. If they started defaulting Chrome to use Google DNS, I think that's something we would take issue with, but for now, we like the idea of people using a DNS other than their ISPs, that's a good idea for a lot of reasons.
What are some of those reasons?
I like the idea of separation of services. ISPs provide a pipe. Other vendors provide security. Other vendors provide email. When one party controls all the services, it's a "synergy" for the company, but rarely for the consumer. With DNS in particular, there are performance and security benefits that third party DNS providers offer that ISPs aren't incentivized to do since DNS is a cost-center for them, and a profit-center for us.
