Jim Barry Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
This wine has a dense purple ruby color with a mulberry hue. The aromas are both opulent and intense with blackcurrant, violets, rosemary and cedar playing a central role. The palate is awash with flavors of boysenberry, cassis, star anise and menthol. The structural tannins are supple and fine grained. Over-all, the wine displays excellent line and length of flavor. An outstanding, youthful, fresh and vibrant Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon from a tenanious vintage.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The fruit for Jim Barry-s 2008 Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 50% Clare Valley and 50% Coonawarra. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives pronounced aromas of eucalyptus, warm blackberry and crushed blueberries with some cinnamon and cloves plus a whiff of cedar. Medium to high acid and a medium to high level of finely grained tannins support the ample flesh in the mid palate of this full bodied style. The finish is long and minty. Approachable now, it should be best 2011 to 2018. "
Wine Enthusiast - "Representing a good value in top-flight Cabernet, Jim Batty's 2008 The Cover Drive features subtle hints of cinnamon, coffee and vanilla layered over blueberry and plum fruit. It's on the full-bodied side, with plush, velvety tannins balanced by crisp acids. Drink now-2018. Editors' Choice."
Australian Wine Companion - "A truly enjoyable, delicious red berry and cassis-fruited wine, the tannins and oak on the boundary. Drink whenever you wish."

Jim Barry Winery
From the heart of South Australia, Jim Barry was a legendary and beloved Clare Valley identity. Since 1959, Jim Barry Wines reflect the Barry family's commitment to making table wines with an emphasis on quality and enjoyment. Jim Barry's philosophy of winemaking was very simple: own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during winemaking. The rich, full-bodied Jim Barry wines distinctly embody this simple winemaking philosophy. View all Jim Barry Wines
About CoonawarraView a map of Coonawarra wineries
Located on the Limestone Coast of South Australia, Coonawarra is quite flat, except for the vineyards, which are slightly elevated. That, along with the proximity to the ocean and frequent cloud cover, Coonawarra never gets too hot. There is a small strip of soil, about nine miles long and two miles wide, called Terra Rossa, or red earth. It is the coveted place to plant Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon in this small region.
Notable FactsCabernet Sauvignon is the grape of choice here. There is a good amount of Shiraz planted as well, and blends of the two are popular. Cabernet grown in the Terra Rossa shows a sense of place, and the wines are in high demand. The wine is elegant in structure, with prominent acidity and firm tannins, while being full of ripe fruit flavors typical of Australia's style.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

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.

I need a new headlamp and was hoping to hear some recommendations from folks.
For night hiking or just in camp? Any weight limits you want to stay within?
nm, TMC.
Edited by greg23 on 02/26/2014 14:58:08 MST.
AA or AAA ? ... depending on current rechargables, other devices, etc.
I currently use an Olite EOS i3S and clip to my cap.0.68 oz with battery, and about 15 hrs of light on the 20L setting per AAA energizer ultimate Lithium battery.Now, 20L isnt a lot, but I have about 10+ hrs hiking time in the dark with it on the AT, and its enough for me. I like to start hiking an hour or two before daylight. This light really rocks battery life on that setting with the energizer lithium. Will get maybe 1.5 hr on the high 70-80L setting.
Edited by livingontheroad on 02/26/2014 15:18:40 MST.
I use one light for flashlight, headlamp, and lantern. You will get a lot of Olight recommendations in this thread, as above. I greatly prefer 186500 battery cells, they have a great weight/power ratio and extreme durability (they are the cells used in laptop batteries). Olight's offerings with an 18650 cell are 3x the price and 3x the weight of the one I use.The flashlight: ShiningBeam S-Mini with Cree XP-G-R5 emitter (45g)http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-152/ShiningBeam-S-dsh-mini-XP-dsh-G-R5/DetailThe light has 3 levels of brightness and NO annoying blinky modes: Low 9.5 lm (24mA), Medium 155 lm(400mA), High 360 lm (1,000mA). With my 3100 mAh 18650 cell I get over 3 hours continuous on high, 7:45 on medium, and 129 hours on low. This is with a constant current circuit; the light doesn't dim as the battery weakens.The head strap: Nightcore HB02 (48g)http://www.nitecore.com/productDetail.aspx?id=32http://www.amazon.com/NITECORE-HB02-Flashlight-Torch-Headband/dp/B00ENZ29NYThere are 3 loops in this band and you can place lights into. For trips I am planning on hiking in the dark I have added additional small AA cell lights into the side loops along with the S-Mini on top.The $1 generic beam diffuser: (5.8g) Allows me to use my light as a lantern:http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001948/1347102-beam-light-diffuser-for-led-flashlights.I also use my 18650 flashlight cells (I always carry at least 2 @ ~45g/ea.) as an emergency charger for my phone with this $6 doodad:Miller ML-102 Universal USB Smart Charger (32g)http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001919/1137904-miller-ml-102-universal-usb-smart-charger-version400 peak lumen headlamp, flashlight, lantern, and emergency phone charger with 2 batteries for 220g. Someone certainly could get lighter by forgoing capacity, brightness, etc; I am very fond of this solution however.

If you go to the CPF forums, you can read a tremendous amount about headlamps in the dedicated subforum--which, by the way, is filled with hikers, cavers, and bicyclers. If I were to guess at the most commonly recommended headlamp for backpacking by the CPF'ers, it would be the ZebraLight H52F, because that beam is a center-weighted flood, so does duty both for night hiking and for trail chores. It's small, efficient, and hardy. If it were me, I'd avoid the cool white version.The light is so efficient, there's no need to turn it off at night. Just turn to one of the sublumen modes, and set it in the corner of your tent, or clip it to a guy line, so you can easily find it when you need it. The light will run continuously for 2-3 months in the lower sublumen modes from a single AA battery.Weight of the light is 32 grams / 1 oz. On high (depending on model) it can blind you with as much as 300 lumens.

+1 on Zebralight H52You can get it in "flood" (H52F) or regular (H52) which is still fairly floody and a good choice. And you can get it in "cool white" (brightest) or "neutral white". So all told there is the H52, H52F, H52w and H52Fw.
Dan,Which Zebra do you have?Derrick
>> an emergency charger for my phone with this $6 doodad:Miller ML-102 Universal USB Smart Charger (32g)http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001919/1137904-miller-ml-102-universal-usb-smart-charger-version <<@mattblickThanks for that link! I wasn't aware of that charger/power pack and at that price (and weight) it's an incredible find. I've have the Zebralight H600 Mk II 18650 XM-L2 Headlamp and use 3400 mAh (18650) batteries. Although it's heavier than my H52W AA headlamp, the long run time and of the H600 means I don't have to carry extra batteries so for longer trips, it's probably a lighter (more versatile) solution. The fact that I can alos carry the charger mentioned at the link provided above, means I can do double duty with these high output batteries.The beauty of the H600 is that you can set it for the output you require for backpacking and get incredibly long runtimes. My favorite levels are 160 Lm (11 hrs) and 70 Lm (30 hrs). The 70 Lm setting is a very good level for night hiking and it will run at that level for 30 hours which is incredible! The fact that the H600 can also put out over 1000 lm for up to 2 hours makes it stupid bright (you don't need that much light) but it's impressive.H52w AA Headlamp is a really good light as well and because it takes AA lithium cells it's my favourite for backpacking but the power supply device mentioned above is going to make me rethink whether the H600 may be a better all-round solution. The H600 is my choice for fishing trips (day trips) where I often walk out in the dark.The H52W AA headlight weighs in at 2.5 oz with an AA lithium cellThe H600 headlight weighs in at 4.0 oz with a 3400 mAh 18650 battery (centre head band strap removed).Since I'd have to carry a couple of extra lithium cells to match the extended battery life that the 18650 batteries provide, I think the weight pretty much balances out on longer trips.One of the interesting things I discovered about the H600 is that the head band strap is so stretchy that I can actually wear the light around my waist just by extending the strap to full length. I have to "step into it" to wear it this way but I might add a release clip onto the strap so that I can just wrap it around my waist.
I wanted single battery lighting and use a Fenix. HL21 and an Olight i2 flashlight, both using a single AA. I can carry one spare that will fit either and also have the option of switching between the two if necessary. It is far easier to replace a single battery in the dark than fumble with three AAA's. The AA lights are a bit heavier but seemed to have more bang for the buck than the single AAA models. I would like to get my hands on the Fenix HL10 to try for a AAA set.
Mike,I'm glad you can get use out of that battery cradle. One important thing to consider - the one linked will NOT accept most protected cells without modification of the negative "-" side bar spring. There is an older version floating around, perhaps an international eBay seller will have it. That older model has a coil spring negative terminal that works with most protected cells. My light has auto shutoff and I bet your Zebra light does as well. You can still find good Panasonic and Sanyo cells without protection, but I typically just remove the shrinkwrap and yank the protection circuit off my cells.In my previous post I forgot to mention the popularity of Zebralights as evident by 3 mentions in a short while; VERY popular brand. Fenix will show up here sooner or later, as Delmar mentioned there is likely CPF overlap here.((edit:Fenix appeared as I was typing.)) Zebralight seems to stay on the bleeding edge of getting the most output for the least input in their entire line. The interfaces are a bit convoluted to me but I'd deal with something like that for their performance IF it wasn't a $90 light. I just can't stomach the cost.Perhaps at some point the LED and driver technology advances will slow, and the lumen race will end. The performance of XPE-Q and XRE-Q LEDs that were prominent 5 years ago were getting 200 lumens with much shorter run times. Today's XM-L and XP-G LEDs are providing 300+ lumens when driven lightly allowing for longer runtimes and reduced heat. The reduced heat has the added benefit of lower weight since less heat sinking is required. The state of the art light from 5 years ago can't match the performance of a $10 light today. Certainly the Zebralight will stand up to negligence/abuse longer than a cheapie, but $10 gets you a durable triple O-Ring Sealed 18650 light with an XPG-R5 LED that provides 300lm OTE. I bought the $30 S-Mini in 2012 and will probably look to upgrade to another $30ish light in another year. $10/season seems like a good number to me.
Edited by mattblick on 02/27/2014 12:04:02 MST.
Black Diamond Storm, works great, light enough, its just a headlamp don't overthink it, they are all good enough
^ what he said dont overthink it Get something that works, and should you have issues is decently easy to take backFor general use, thats all there is to it folks;)
I have a couple of Petzl XP2 headlamps with the Core battery. Not the lightest, tiniest, whatever, but it has useful light levels, flip up diffuser, charges off USB, etc. Works for me - use them all the time.
Edited by DaveT on 02/27/2014 14:01:44 MST.
Zipka, it's the lightest one that has a very powerful beam. Attach it to anything with dyneema cord. Very cool head lamp.
+1 on not overthinking it. Flashlights are cool toys to geek out on, but unless you're caving, winter camping, or planning your hike around nocturnal activities, anything will do. People have lived for thousands of years without artificial lighting.All of the lights here are excellent choices IMO, some even have me wanting to add to my collection again :)The question really lacked any defining parameters, usage, battery preferences, etc., so I guess I'd suggest just walking into an REI and playing with all the display models. Find one that YOU like.
I have been quite happy with my zebralight. I have had the predecessor to the h52, the h51w since it came out. That was about 3 years ago. This light does almost everything for me and rides in my pocket every day on the pocket clip. Several times it has gone through the wash, many times been dropped onto hard surfaces, and it keeps going.The clips allows for handsfree usage without the headband if needed for weight purposes. It goes well clipped between buttons on a buttonup shirt, or clipped to the side of a baseball hat.The only time I have found myself wanting more light is for bicycle commuting after dark on the street, where you need a similar intensity of light as the cars to be able to see well.
Derrick,I've been using an H51 (regular version) for about 2 years now, and I recently bought my wife the H52w (neutral white) so I've played with that a bit. I like it better but it's hers.
Zebralight H52. Been through so many headlights over the past 20 years. Best I've used.Steve

Forget speed dating. Forget online dating. That's right… there's something new on the dating scene and it hits Los Angeles tonight with a party at Cinefamily and a screening of The Naked Ape (appropriately) after. This time the idea has science behind it and pheromones.
Brainchild, Judith Prays, a 25 year old rapper and web developer out of Atlanta, realized that all of her past dating had been based on intellect and someone looking good on paper, and when she tried dating purely on physical attraction, she had her most successful relationship to date. "And I was obsessed with how he smelled," she said. "And I had heard about that experiment about pheromones."
According to a recent article, "The so-called "sweaty T-shirt" experiment asked females to sniff t-shirts recently worn by males. Turns out the women preferred the scent of men whose immune response genes were different from their own, suggesting they might produce more healthy offspring."
So Judith set up the first party: each participant brings a white cotton t-shirt that they've slept in for three nights. The shirts are placed in Ziploc bags marked with numbers. People take turns sniffing the contents. If they like what they smell, they have their picture taken holding the bags. Then there's a photo slideshow, and if you see someone cute holding your numbered bag they choose, you can then connect with them.
'Scott Thrift, an artist who lives in Brooklyn, attended the first pheromone party, and met a woman there he dated for six months. He says the party's a fun time, but it's also a lesson in evolutionary biology. "I think that there is truth to this," Thrift said. "We're beasts, we're human beings, were animals. And we do a really good job of convincing each other that we're not. And this party really just puts it in your face, literally."'
'Dr. Charles Wysocki, a neuroscientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, said even though these parties lack the controls of a scientific experiment, there's still a lot of science behind them. "And I think the more people learn about the real science behind these quirky pheromone parties, the more they take seriously the possible impact the sense of smell on social situations and even mate choice," Wysocki said.'
Tickets are still available for the party tonight if you live in the Los Angeles area, or why not plan your own Pheromones Party. It's easy, all you need is a computer and camera, and who knows what might come of it.

He was the greatest scientist of his day, perhaps of all time. But while Isaac Newton was busy discovering the universal law of gravitation, he was also searching out hidden meanings in the Bible and pursuing the covert art of alchemy. In this program, NOVA explores the strange and complex mind of Isaac Newton. Using docudrama scenes starring Scott Handy (Masterpiece Theatre's Henry VIII) as Newton, we recreate the unique climate of late 17th-century England, where a newfound fascination with science and mathematics coexisted with extreme views on religious doctrine. Newton shared both obsessions. Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site: Interview & Articles A Complicated Man If there's one word to describe Isaac Newton it is "genius," as this interview with historian Jed Buchwald makes clear. Birth of a Masterpiece Edmond Halley visited Newton with a simple question and came away with the seeds of a masterwork, the Principia. Einstein on Newton In 1927, 200 years after Newton's death, Albert Einstein wrote a glowing appreciation. Interactive & Overview Newton's Alchemy He kept it hidden, but was it truly scandalous?

Cut Unemployment Benefits For Immigrants, But Don't Cut Immigration
August 01, 2014
Jason Russell
Prime Minister Cameron should be applauded for his plan to halve the length of benefits for unemployed immigrants down to three months. When a government allows immigrants to collect benefits without employment, it essentially pays someone to live off taxpayer dollars without contributing to the economy.
But in Britain this is not generally the case. Immigrants make a significant contribution to the UK economy in areas ranging from finance to health services. 26 percent of NHS doctors are foreign-born, 28 per cent of food preparation and hospitality workers are foreign-born, and 22 per cent of natural and social science professionals are foreign-born.
Estimates from the Department for Work and Pensions report that less than seven per cent of migrants collected benefits in 2013, compared to 16 per cent of UK nationals. A November 2013 study by former HMRC official Michael O'Connor found that British nationals are more likely to claim several forms of benefits, including incapacity, disability, bereavement, and even Jobseeker's Allowance. In contrast to the average British national, many migrants contributed more to HMRC than they took out.
The United States finds itself in a similar situation. After 1996 welfare reforms eliminated benefits eligibility even for legal immigrants, both low-income immigrants and Americans became more reliant on work and the number of Americans on food stamps fell by 33 per cent in just four years. On both sides of the Atlantic, native-born citizens collect more in benefits than immigrants.
Immigrants who come to Britain to work are helping economic growth. Immigrants typically have different skills than the native-born population and compete for different jobs. As in the United States, most British nationals are medium-skilled workers, while immigrants are generally either low- or high-skilled workers. Farmers and manufacturers have complained that the British lack the skills and desire to fill certain jobs. When immigrants cross the border to work these jobs, they increase the output of farms and factories, raising GDP growth.
No labour market is perfect, and immigrants help fill gaps that natives are unable to fill. November 2013 research by Cinzia Rienzo at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research found that more immigrants in the labour force increase economic productivity. Because of immigrants, the entire economy can work fewer hours yet produce more.
With clear benefits to immigration, Britain would be remiss if it allowed its economic competitors to win the battle for productive immigrants. On Sunday, the Washington Post named Germany the new land of opportunity for immigrants, with free language classes and vocational training. Germany faces a shortage of labour and is going abroad to find it, even if it means perhaps over-subsidizing immigration.
Some German immigration reforms could serve as a model for the UK. In 2012, Germany introduced a new work permit called the Blue Card, which granted entry to anyone with a university degree and a job offer above a minimum salary (depending on the field). Germany also simplified the entry process for immigrants coming from outside the EU.
Now that immigrants are eligible for fewer benefits, Cameron should ensure that as many hard-working immigrants as possible are allowed to enter the country. Angela Merkel's immigration reforms are a successful model that other countries, not just Britain, should use as an example.

text: The Lion and the Mouse A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by st ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaim "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; I now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion." The Lion and the Mouse Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King," cried the little Mouse: "forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?" The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse. Little friends may prove great friends.

A number of retailers are already active in the financial services sector, including Sainsbury's [SBRY.L] and Tesco [TSCO.L]. Now Matalan [MTN.L], the discount clothing retailer, has announced that it too will launch a range of financial services. The retailer is resisting claims that it may lose focus on its core business and is instead concentrating on making its new product range a success.

Aggressive new entrant Atlantic Electric and Gas is seeking to continue its impressive growth rate by developing a partnership with Matalan [MTN.L], the clothing and homeware discount retailer. Through this and other partnerships, Atlantic hopes to expand its sales proposition among residential customers. Atlantic's tactics should prove successful in motivating customers to switch providers.

Adding to its existing high street stores, next month UK skin and hair care company Lush will test its new 'girlie' retail concept in London's Carnaby Street. Large industry players must keep an eye on the innovations made by their smaller rivals, which often need to have their finger closer to the pulse to maintain their market share.
Exel [EXL.L], the global supply chain management company, has been awarded a contract to provide a range of logistics services to Marks & Spencer's [MKS.L] childrenswear provider, The Zip Project. Fashion retailers are increasingly turning to logistics specialists like Exel to give them the competitive edge, by reducing costs and improving lead times.
There is no doubt that 2005 has been a dreadful year on the high street and as the festive season approaches, most retailers are extremely cautious about their prospects. However, while the economic news has been highly discouraging for those retailers awaiting an upturn in their fortunes, according to retail specialists Verdict there may soon be light at the end of the tunnel ...
The new Polish government of the conservative Law and Justice party has promised to examine the encroachment of hypermarkets into the country's retail sector. However, an element of political calculation is thought to be involved in this: while about 100,000 people are employed in large stores, the retail sector as a whole employs more than 2 million, mainly in small independent shops.
John Lewis indicated that sales had surged in the past five weeks, providing hope that Christmas trading may be better than last year. The company's sales last week rose by 5.8 % to GBP62 million against a year ago. While the performance must be encouraging for John Lewis, its rivals must still be hopeful that the Christmas spirit cold weather engenders will drive consumers into the shops.
Former Moss Bros chief executive Adrian Wright has led a private equity-backed buyout of the men's clothing chain the Speciality Retail Group in a deal said to be worth about GBP30 million. Given Wright's strong track record and retail discipline, hopes are high that the new management will be able to turn fortunes around at the specialist menswear company.
Online clothes retailer ASOS has reported an interim loss of GBP120,000, despite reporting sales growth of 78%. Although the loss was a result of increased investment in new ranges and greater warehouse capacity in anticipation of the Christmas rush, the company will need to keep a tight rein on its processes to ensure costs do not escalate.
Primark has chartered a giant Antonov transport plane to fly in daily shipments of women's underwear from China after a fire at its warehouse in Leicestershire, UK. This solution to a potentially disastrous problem highlights why the retailer is enjoying so much success on the high street: a rapid response and creative thinking.

ESRL Global Systems Division
The GSD Daily Weather Briefing
For all those people who would like an overview of the current weather patterns locally and across the nation, plus a forecast for the rest of the day to a few days out, the Global Systems Division (GSD) of NOAA's ESRL has a 30-minute weather briefing many days starting at 11:00am, in Room 3C405 (GSD Forecast Center) of the David Skaggs Research Center. All are welcome to attend. Please see ESRL's Visitor Information page for directions and security requirements.
New! Sign up for Weather Briefing notifications (Note: Available only to users with a @noaa.gov email address).
The weather briefings were started as part of GSD's Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) workstation development efforts for the National Weather Service, and before that, the workstation development efforts of the former Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) and Program for Regional Observing and Forecasting Services (PROFS). In addition to an interesting overview of the weather for attendees, the briefing's purpose is twofold:
- testing new hardware, software, data displays, features, algorithms, and models in a quasi-operational setting; and
- giving research scientists and developers experience and expertise in quasi-operational forecasting and in the use of the latest AWIPS workstations.
The analysis and discussion are orchestrated by a lead briefer, with support from a workstation operator (driver). Briefers and drivers come mainly from the staff at GSD, but also from other groups within the NOAA Labs at the DSRC. We welcome new briefers and drivers. Please contact Ed Szoke (303-497-7395 – email@example.com ) for further information.
Check out the Daily Weather Briefing Homepage for links to recent weather highlights going back to 2001.
We hope to see you all at the GSD daily weather briefing.

- 07 Jul 2015 Bridie Australia
- " I stayed in a single room for 6 nights in there. The room is basic but very clean. The owner and staff are very nice and helpful. Although the hostel isn't close to main attractive place, it's in residential area. You can feel Tainan life. Besides, you can easily take a bus to station OR You can take a bike to explore the city. It's a good experience. "
- 26 Feb 2015 Anonymous Hong Kong
- " The place is deep in a small alley, which makes it rather difficult to reach. Kate is definitely passionate about what she is doing, and tries her best to connect all the guests, which many will surely appreciate. However, sometimes, it goes a little bit too far when the excitment goes on and on and on into 1am or even later. When the sound proof is rather poor (seriously), different preferences should be considered especially late in the night. "

- " Get to know someone better, before you judge him/her. Bike Tainan Hostel is worth paying a visit, even it is only for one day. "
- 13 Jan 2015 Jonathan Germany
- " I spent 4 nights in Bike Tainan. Location may need a little of getting used to but overall the experience was good here. Kate the home keeper was very friendly and warm, constantly giving me tips and advice on where to go and visit. "
- 30 Nov 2014 Anonymous Singapore
- " The owner Kate is super nice and very helpful. However, the facilities are a little old and the showers are a bit weird. There are even some showers on the roof with just some curtains hanging down! The location is also a bit far from a lot of the sites, so be prepared to bike quite far in some crazy Tainan traffic! Overall, the experience was interesting, but fun. There is also not always someone there, but they give you a key to the front door. Oh, and there's no lockers. "

Construction on Kent State Tuscarawas Performing Arts Center Continues
Return to Issue of July 13, 2009
The vision for the new Performing Arts Center.
The Performing Arts Center construction project at Kent State Tuscarawas continues on schedule. Construction on the center began in October of 2008 and should be completed by the summer of 2010.
"Right now we have good weather for construction," Monte Ball, director of advancement for Kent State Tuscarawas, says. "We're progressing quite well and it looks like the summer of 2010 for completion with a grand opening in the fall to coincide with the beginning of the academic year."
The $17.3 million building will include a 1,100-seat theatre; an orchestra pit and orchestra lift; a 75-foot fly space for scenery changes; state-of-the-art lighting, sound system and acoustics; and a multipurpose rehearsal room and classrooms. The facility also features a lower-level lobby that can hold approximately 280 patrons and an upper-level lobby with seating for 88 individuals. Additionally, the center will include a Steinway Concert Grand piano on its stage for performances.
To support the construction of the new center, Kent State Tuscarawas embarked on a $5 million capital campaign. Approximately $4.4 million has been raised.
"People are enthusiastic about the project, but it is a tough economy," Ball says. "The center is for the community, and we can't build it without its support."
Ball says the campus hopes to offer programs for local schools in the center and will open the rehearsal hall for local groups such as the Tuscarawas Philharmonic.
The center will also benefit the community by contributing to the local economy. Ball says research indicates that the new center could improve tourism in the area, which would benefit local restaurants and hotels, and attract new businesses.
"There are three things that businesses look for — education in the area, available housing and culture," Ball says. "Entrepreneurs are attracted to locations offering a variety of cultural opportunities."
Soon, the Tuscarawas campus will hire a general manager for the center. The general manager will be responsible for overseeing use of the facility, scheduling and programming.

No decision yet on Jerome Simpson, who continues to meet with Vikings
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Jerome Simpson remained in the Twin Cities on Saturday evening as the Minnesota Vikings tried to get to know the athletic receiver whose on-field inconsistency and off-field transgressions have kept him on the free-agent market.
Simpson, 26, arrived at Vikings headquarters on Saturday to meet with team officials and undergo a physical. He was scheduled to stay in town overnight and depart on Sunday unless a deal is reached.
The Vikings, who begin their offseason program on Monday, no doubt are intrigued by Simpson's combination of size (6-foot-2, 190 pounds) and speed (ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds at the 2008 NFL scouting combine). He set career highs with 50 catches for 725 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts) last season with Cincinnati.
But Simpson pled guilty on March 1 to a felony charge resulting from about 2 pounds of marijuana being shipped to his northern Kentucky home in September. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years' probation and also could face a suspension under the NFL's substance abuse and/or personal conduct policies.
The Vikings spent much of last season dealing with fallout from another felony case, which ended with Chris Cook's March 15 acquittal on domestic assault charges. So, it's no surprise they're going to extra lengths to vet Simpson before deciding whether to make an offer.
Receiver is one of the Vikings' more prominent needs entering the NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday night. Their only veteran signing this offseason at the position was Bryan Walters, who has spent most of the past two years bouncing on and off San Diego's practice squad.
A second-round draft pick (46th overall) out of Coastal Carolina in 2008, Simpson's NFL career was a resounding disappointment before he broke through last season. In 29 career games, Simpson has 71 receptions for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns.
Simpson previously met with the St. Louis Rams.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Electrocautery cutting balloon treatment for pelviureteric junction obstruction.
Pelviureteric junction obstruction is a condition caused by a narrowing of the funnel-shaped part of the kidney (known as the renal pelvis) where urine collects before being carried to the bladder by tubes called ureters. The obstruction may cause episodes of loin pain and/or nausea and vomiting, urinary infections and kidney stones. In some patients the condition could also affect the normal function of the kidney.
This procedure (electrocautery cutting balloon treatment) aims to widen the renal pelvis by inserting a catheter with a balloon and wire into the urinary tract. The wire is used to cut away the tissue that is causing the obstruction.
OPCS4.6 Code(s)
The correct OPCS-4 codes required to classify this procedure are:
M10.8 Other specified other therapeutic endoscopic operations on kidney
Y17.1 Electrocauterisation of lesion of organ NOC
Y53.4 Approach to organ under fluoroscopic control
Note: Where a stent is inserted during the procedure a code from category Y14.- Placement of stent in organ NOC is also assigned, following Y13.1, to classify the type of stent used.
In addition the ICD-10 code N13.5 Kinking and stricture of ureter without hydronephrosis is assigned.
The NHS Classifications Service of the Health and Social Care Information Centre is the central definitive source for clinical coding guidance and determines the coding standards associated with the classifications (OPCS-4 and ICD-10) to be used across the NHS. The NHS Classifications Service and NICE work collaboratively to ensure the most appropriate classification codes are provided. http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/data/clinicalcoding

'Impeach Obama' billboard along Hwy. 41
Posted By aaron On February 15, 2010 @ 9:53 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled

OSHKOSH – A controversial billboard along Highway 41 is catching people's attention. It calls for President Obama to be removed from office.
The spot, near the Oshkosh Correctional Institute, is also becoming a popular spot for motorists to pull over and snap a picture.
[efoods]"The sign kind of struck me as being very forceful. I was driving up to Green Bay this morning and saw it. It just surprised me that a sign like that would be out there, that blatant," said Gary Fox, of Waukesha.
Fox said he agrees with the 'Impeach Obama' billboard. The tagline is: 'America's small businesses are failing, help us spread the message.'
So, who paid for it? FOX 11 went looking and it turns out it wasn't a group of small business owners. It was Tom Wroblewski, an attorney in Menasha.

Jim Meredith, the man behind the excellent Archizoo site, wrote a thoughtful critique of my Detroit plan and offers up a plan of his own. He's even got his own cross-compare chart at the end.
The Wall Street Journal just ran an interview with Mayor Dave Bing. I've been very impressed with Bing so far. He's starting to confront some of the core challenges of city government. The thing that most impressed me was that after being elected in a special election to replace Kwame Kilpatrick, he did not lay low, trying to avoid controversy, until facing another election just a few short months later. Instead, he started pursuing tough change right away, betting that the voters would back him up. He was right. Here are some snippets:
Yet Mr. Bing is a realist, something Detroit hasn't had at the helm for a long time. "We've been paralyzed by a culture in the city of Detroit, and maybe the state of Michigan, of entitlement," by which he means ever-rising union wages. "Our people, I don't believe, truly understand how dire the situation is. There are ugly decisions that need to be made and I'm surely not going to be popular for making them. But I didn't take this job based on popularity."
One group that surely isn't a fan is the public employee unions…."Today in the city of Detroit," he tells me, "our union employee benefits cost 68% of what their base wage is. I don't think that happens in any other place in the country." To give a sense of how excessive those pay packages are, he adds: "When you look at one of the most dominant labor unions in the world, the UAW, they're nowhere close to what we give our city workers."
How important is his business experience in running Detroit? "A city is a business," he replies. "It's a $3 billion plus business. The past administrations didn't understand that, and I think that's got us where we are." Voters realize that private "businesses create jobs," he says. "That's where wealth is come from, and for too long we've treated them like enemies."
He wants to make the city "more business friendly," but how? "Take the licensing and permitting process that people have to go through," he explains. "I've heard nothing but war stories. So I'm focusing on how we can help businesses cut through the red tape in city government. As an entrepreneur, if you have to spend all of your time trying to get licensing and permits . . . guess what you do? You're going somewhere else. We've got to make Detroit a place where businesses can make a profit again," he says hopefully.
The new Detroit Public Schools financial receiver, Robert Bobb, also seems to be working away at many administrative challenges there. Let's hope these two guys are the start of a new leadership culture in Detroit that can bring real change. It's early days for both, but there's reason to have optimism.

And in Time's Detroit blog, Karen Dybis relates the troubles at the Detroit Symphony and Michigan generally to her own personal story in One More Slap in the Face
The Detroit Free Press last week ran a major eight part series called Rising from the Wreckage, charting the course of the wrenching change the auto industry has gone through and where the future might lead. It had eight major chapters and several related stories. Here are the main chapters:
- Chapter One: A slowdown spirals into a meltdown
- Chapter Two: Auto industry seeks a lifeline in DC
- Chapter Three: A near fatal miscalculation in Congress
- Chapter Four: Rattner on GM, Chrysler turnaround plans: 'They were delusional'
- Chapter Five: Obama Administration Shoves Wagoner Out
- Chapter Six: Fiat Promises Salvation for Chrysler
- Chapter Seven: Realization for Granholm: No Reovery In Her Term
- Chapter Eight: Detroit Auto-Makers On New Path

- Detroit 3 Automakers: Where They're at Now
Here is an excerpt from the series wrap-up editorial:
Education first, last and always…..Somehow, even in its budget struggles, this state has to find a way to invest in improving education or risk prolonging this ugly chapter in Michigan history. That means changing the culture, too, to emphasize the value of schooling beyond the 12th grade and of continuous learning. The days of taking a high school diploma to the local factory and getting a ticket to the middle class are over. They were great while they lasted, but they left Michigan ill-equipped to adjust to the 21st-Century global economy. The future belongs to the smart states — and Michigan had better be among those states if it expects a better one. People who learn are also people who change, challenge, adapt and innovate, the very things the auto industry has struggled to do for a decade. Complacency is born from a lack of appreciation for learning and stretching. And that complacency, as much as anything else, brought Detroit's auto industry to the brink of extinction.
And here are some excerpts from the letters to the editor:
We have lost sight of where it began. It is not about jobs, wages and benefits. It is all about productivity and a culture of innovation.
We have to be mindful that Michigan's leadership as the reigning capital of the automotive industry, once the driving force of this country and the world, is indeed "gone with the wind." It is especially difficult since Michigan was the cradle of its beginning and will probably never rise to this leadership status again. In this technical age, in order to compete with the world's changes, we must prepare ourselves to meet and understand this challenge in order to sustain meaningful jobs and a living. It must start with the education of both children and adults, where we have fallen short.
Update: Commenter Wad, who is a driving force behind the great LA transit blog MetroRiderLA, posted this as a comment. I thought it was a great story and wanted everyone to be able to see:
An interesting Detroit anecdote I can think of is from the Los Angeles Auto Show, which concluded two weeks ago.
First off, after going to auto shows for 20 years, I must say this year's was by far the dreariest. This show had the fewest of everything: cars, show models and even car makers. This year, Nissan chose not to attend the show. Even the marketplace only took up half of the convention center space.
GM, in particular, was in a bad way. GM still leased 30 percent of a convention center hall, yet it had only presented its four remaining brands (as well as Saab, which received its death warrant last week). Obviously, this left a lot of empty space at its display.
Yet one of the admirable things GM had done was who it had used to promote its cars. GM brought a few of its automobile assemblers to be the car models. All were wearing cream-colored "GM/UAW quality ambassador" shirts and had name badges and the plants they work at.
The Big 3 had brought UAW representatives before, typically as a token gesture with the workers having their own information booths. This year, though, GM had the auto workers discussing the cars in the job usually done by outside marketing firms.
Not only did the auto workers do a polished job explaining the car, but by talking with them you could quickly tell the dedication they had for their brands. You could ask them of their years they worked in autos and their steps up the ladder. Two people I remembered speaking with was one truck builder who was a Michigan native but transferred to an assembly plant in Texas to preserve his skills. He had been with GM for 35 years.
Another was a woman who had been with GM plants throughout Michigan for 20 years. She is a third-generation auto worker, and she is trying to get her oldest son to follow in the family footsteps.
It's quite the experience when you meet the people behind the product. I don't hold GM in much high regard, but this was one of its better efforts.

Windhaven (1981)
by George R. R. Martin (Author), Lisa Tuttle (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I didn't mean to finish this book so fast. Didn't expect to. But before I knew it I had spent half the day finishing it. I was drawn in and captured by the story. I don't know how the co-writing went, if this is more Martin's style or Tuttle, since I've never read anything by Tuttle. The politics side of the story seem to be Martin's game, but I'm guessing the story is more Tuttles. Whichever the case, I applaud both authors for a book very well done. I enjoyed the characters, felt Maris' pain, loved the winds. A good book.
A classic from the 70s, memorable for its wonderful depiction of the joys of flying, I mean with wings, like an eagle. The written version of the flight training segment of the movie Avatar. 30 years after, the memories are fading but overall it was a good read.
I enjoy George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, so it's disappointing that reading this book inspired me to adopt a new "don't keep reading something you're not enjoying just to finish it" policy. I got 2/3 of the way through and it was good at times and ok at times, just bland, young adult, fantasy. I loved Anne McCaffrey's Pern books as a child, and this reminded me of the same sort of thing, but didn't resonate as strongly with me.
I would really only recommend this book for historical interest, in noting where two of Rowling's main themes (the battle between people born into magic families and those of mixed ancestry, and magic academies) had precedent. The book follows the life of Maris, a fisherman's daughter, on this world where humans had long ago been stranded, leaving behind only this fabric which allowed those who wore them as wings to fly. That is handy, since the planet is mainly water, with scattered islands and they don't seem to have developed any other means of communication. Maris's fight to become a flyer succeeds, but ends up changing the social order more drastically than she had realized.
I thought this was a basically enjoyable book, but little more. I picked it up because I've generally liked other George R. R. Martin titles, but this one lacked the fullness of his other work, especially in the characters. The people who inhabit this world, even the main characters, are very two-dimensional, and I found it very difficult to really care about any of them. As I said, it's an okay read, but it's not one I'd really recommend you run out and buy.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553577905, Mass Market Paperback)If Windhaven weren't a fantasy book, it would be a selection for Oprah's books club, in the best sense. It tells the life story of a girl whose desire is so strong that it literally changes her world.
Maris wants nothing more than to fly. But she is land-bound: she was not born into a family of flyers, those who inherit their wings from their ancestors and convey messages, songs, and stories between the isolated islands of Windhaven. She convinces the flyers to break their ancient dynastic traditions for a selfish reason--to gain a pair of wings. In so doing, however, she opens the skies to all the hopeful land-bound, with serious social and political repercussions for both populations.
Each of the five chapters relates a different incident in Maris's struggle to first become a flyer and to then open the skies, and the flyers' minds, to the rest of the land-bound. They are told in sequential order as Maris ages, but resemble short stories featuring the same character more than chapters in a novel. Although the background in each certainly enhances the understanding of the following one, this knowledge is not at all essential to appreciating each chapter as a discrete entity that can stand alone.
Windhaven is a thought-provoking book, challenging us by depicting the potential consequences when young idealists break ancient traditions. The authors gave us a heroine, a planet, and a story that teach as they entertain. --Diana M. Gitig
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:28 -0400)
On stormy Windhaven, the descendants of long-ago stranded star-sailors live on widely separated islands. Lacking metals to sustain industrial technology, the inhabitants depend on flyers, humans with wings made from the original star sail, to bring news and carry messages, uniting far-flung communities. Maris, a land-bound female adopted into a flyer family, loves to fly. But when her stepbrother, Coll, turns thirteen, he as first-born stands to inherit the irreplaceable wings, even as he dreams of being a traveling singer instead. When Maris tries to resolve both quandaries by stealing the wings, she challenges not only flyer law but the basic assumptions of Windhaven society. Establishing competitions to win wings and training academies for students from non-flyer families, and defending a "made" flyer accused of treason for stopping a war, Maris faces the lifelong consequences of talent come into conflict with privilege ...… (more)

R.S. Owens in Contract Dispute with Teamsters During Oscar Statuette ProductionDecember 8, 2011 By Kyle Richardson
The Huffington Post is reporting that awards supplier R.S. Owens & Company, Chicago, is in the midst of contract negotiations with the Chicago Teamsters, who represent the company's workers.
The Teamsters Union issued a press release Tuesday alleging that R.S. Owens & Co. "denied wage increases to its workers from 2007-2011, and is proposing wage freezes for the next three years. ... Owens also wants to cut vacation and bereavement benefits prior to the Oscars on Feb. 26, 2012."
R.S. Owens & Co. manufacturers the awards for the Oscars and Emmys. According to the article, production on awards for the Oscars extends through January, meaning a strike by workers could potentially affect the award show if a deal is not reached.
Scott Siegel, president of R.S. Owens & Co., told The Huffington Post that he wishes to come to an agreement with the union and has two meetings with them this week. The company did not respond to Promo Marketing's request for comment at the time of print.

Video: Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Filed under: Classics, Coupe, Performance, Videos, Porsche, Celebrities
Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

By Ed BrockHaving eaten their fill of tomato sandwiches, a trio of guests ambled cheerily down the driveway at Jim Wood's Forest Park home. Jack Smith of Jonesboro and Clyde and Pat Cooper of Zebulon were quick to call this year's Tomato Sandwich Party to benefit the Good Shepherd Clinic in Morrow a success. "I think it's a wonderful cause," said Smith whose wife volunteers at the clinic where the county's uninsured go for medical care. "They're helping no telling how many people." The sandwiches were "absolutely great" said Clyde Cooper. "I don't see how (Wood) does it," Pat Cooper said. "It is very well organized." The party was held Saturday and, while it was only the second year for the event to benefit the Good Shepherd clinic, Wood, a former Georgia legislator and newspaper publisher, has hosted many such events. Saturday's event was just as popular as in the past, with some 200 people crowding into Wood's yard and house, chatting, politicking and listening to music from the "Jonesmen" gospel quartet from Jones Memorial United Methodist Church in Lake City. "We've had a good crowd," Wood said Saturday. Last year the party raised $15,000 and this year's goal was $18,000, money the clinic's sponsors hope will eventually allow them to expand their hours of operation to five days a week and to hire a part-time doctor. Currently Dr. Thomas Kelley volunteers his time at the clinic that is only open on Mondays, meaning it must turn away about 100 people a week. With an hour to go in the party, the contributors met the $18,000 goal, said Good Shepherd board member L.C. Thomas. "The Good Shepherd Clinic belongs to the community. We thank the community for supporting us," Thomas said. The Rev. Stephen Cook with the First Baptist Church of Morrow, a sponsor of the clinic, was also pleased with the success of the event. "This is one of many ways we're continuing to try to reach the community and make a positive impact," Cook said. The Tomato Sandwich Party started out as a political fundraiser, and Saturday there was no shortage of candidates in the upcoming primaries in attendance at the party, donating to the cause and campaigning. "As usual it's a great crowd of good people," said Clayton County Sheriff Stanley Tuggle. Tuggle is being challenged by Georgia state representative and Clayton County Police Detective Victor Hill, police accident Investigator Joe Mack Eckler and used car salesman Cliff Hall. "The people you see at this are the people who really get out and vote and support the community," Tuggle said. Clayton County Superior Court Judge Deborah Benefield and her opponent, attorney Robert Mack, attended the party. "When I ran the first time in 1992 I was here," Benefield said, adding that at that time the party was to benefit Clayton Center Mental Health. Mack, attending the party for the first time, said he "couldn't think of a better place to be." "This is a worthy cause to the extreme," Mack said. "It's sad when you see these volunteers have to tell people that they don't have the resources to help them." Clayton County Commission candidate Wole Ralph was also a first time attendee. "My wife and I came over and had a couple of great sandwiches," Ralph said. Ralph will face Zannie "Tiger" Billingslea, Charles Davis, Cedric McCrary and Ronald Ringer on July 20 to vie for the District 3 seat on the commission. Clayton County Solicitor General Keith Martin, who is being challenged by attorney Leslie Miller Terry, said he first attended the Tomato Sandwich Party in 1988. "This shows that people do care," Martin said. The clinic, located on Murphy Drive behind the First Baptist Church, opened in 2000. It also receives funding from the Clayton County Community Foundation, the Presbyterian Church of Greater Atlanta and local churches and civic clubs. Most of the funds that are raised at the party are needed for general operating expenses, primarily medicine. The guests of honor this year were Bruce Lucia, president of the Atlanta Division for Kroger grocery stores and Randy Waters, zone manager for Kroger, Thomas said. Also, on Sept. 18 the clinic will hold its inaugural family bicycle ride fundraiser. For more information on that call the clinic at (770) 968-1310.
