Rare Breed didn't impress me at first, but every time I give it another try, I like it better. Were it not for the many fans it has in this venue, I probably would have dismissed it at first taste -- to my great loss.

I am enjoying the pleasure of a Blanton's this evening....does it get any better than this?
I nver join you guys in the evening -- but in my humble opinion there are few better than Blantons! Lucky you
A nice pour of Four Roses bourbon from the bottle we recieved after the "Let's Talk Bourbon" seminar and distillery tour. This was one of the highlights of the festival for Leslie and me. It was a little dissappointing that none of the better bottlings were available for tasting, but a great time nontheless. Glad I shared it with you guys
Elijah Craig...the best of Heaven Hill. I get new flavors nearly every time I drink this...a very easy pour.
I was with the festival attendees in "spirit" this past weekend. On Friday evening, my wife and I sat out on the deck in the very pleasant post-Isabel weather while I enjoyed a pour of ORVW 12 yo. On Saturday evening, under the same circumstances, I enjoyed a pour of GTS. These drinks were significant because they are the first I've had in five weeks. I needed to step back for awhile, but Friday was the perfect time to tip my toes back in for a moment.
It's a good thing that I changed my plans about going to the festival this year. So many things came up this past week, including Isabel last Thursday, a rafting and camping trip last weekend with the men's group at church, and my church's end of summer party yesterday where my wife and two kids were baptized.
I got lucky with Isabel. The eye was about 100 or so miles east. There was lots of trouble there, of course. And there was over 6" of rain about 100 miles to the west that got an outer band of rain dumped on them. But here around Raleigh, we only had bursts of wind up to 45 mph and ONLY 1.5" inches of rain. A few trees here and there around town, but nothing much at all other than that. Whew!
After going to the festival there is a great supply of bourbon to choose from. For tonight it is something that I really liked after trying it, and the price wasn't bad to boot... Ridgewood Reserve 1792.
We missed you. Your name was mentioned by several folks over the course of the Festival. Wish you could have been with us.I was with the festival attendees in "spirit" this past weekend.
Glad you dodged Isabel. It's amazing the difference 100 miles can make.
Tonight it is Rock Hill Farms , I did not want to break in to my reserve of a minimum of 6 bottles at all times of ORVW 10yr 107.... and so I am letting the Rock Hill gently rock me ,,,, lol I do have an open bottle of EB 15y but did not feel up to the pepper finish ...
Salute All !!!
I go to my cup ..
Bill G.
Are you sure it wasn't the other Chuck's name you heard? (Private joke that Brenda, Bobby, Bettye Jo, my sister and Grandma Bryant will get. )
On a more gracious note, thanks for missing me and thinking of me. I missed being there, not for the bourbon, but for the people.

The decal the Titans will wear on their helmets this season. / TENNESSEE TITANS
The Titans plan to honor late quarterback Steve McNair by wearing a No. 9 decal on the back of their helmets during the 2009 season, an NFL source said Wednesday.
The decal will be worn starting with Sundays preseason opener against the Bills in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.
The Titans went through the NFL to get the decal approved. Because the Titans will wear a patch commemorating the AFLs 50th-year celebration, another patch on the teams uniforms wasnt an option. Teams are allowed to wear just one patch during the season.
McNair, shot and killed July 4, wore No. 9 while playing from 1995-2005 with the organization. He threw for 27,141 yards and 156 touchdowns as a Titan and was the leagues co-MVP in 2003.
The Titans are also working on other ways to honor McNair this season. Last season he was inducted into the teams Ring of Honor at LP Field.
Similar decals have been worn to honor other NFL players in previous seasons. A year ago, all 32 teams wore a GU decal honoring Gene Upshaw, the former Oakland Raider who served as the NFL Players Associations leader. Players also wore a No. 21 sticker after the death of former Redskin Sean Taylor during the 2007 season.
The No.9 decal will be affixed to the throwback helmets of the 1960 Houston Oilers, with an oil derrick on each side, in Sundays nationally televised contest. The decal will also be worn on the teams helmets featuring the Titans logo.

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood
By Amy Nicholson
If you Google the phrase "Danzig shopping for cat supplies," you'll find links to phone-cam shots of former Misfits singer Glenn Danzig crossing a grocery-store parking lot while wearing a Danzig T-shirt and carrying Fresh Step. He's a striking figure and, with his pale, vampiric aspect, totally incongruent with the prosaic suburban surroundings. The shots are humbling and humanizing, and therefore also kind of assholish and intrusive in a way that makes you want to punch the photographer in the nose.
In scenes perhaps inspired by those Danzig photos, retired musician Cheyenne (Sean Penn), the subject of Paolo Sorrentino's This Must Be the Place, wanders through a Dublin grocery store in his ostentatious Robert Smith hair and makeup, dressed in black from head to toe, peering over the tops of his old-man reading glasses as he draws the stares and mean giggles of the other Tesco patrons.
A huge pop star in the '80s, Cheyenne retired following a tragedy, buying land in Ireland and hanging around the neighborhoods now in the shadow of the undulant Aviva Stadium. Penn plays Cheyenne with childlike fragility, delivering dialogue with a tremulous, understated affect that belies the flamboyance of his appearance. He often disappears into the shadows in such dark spaces as dimly lit bars, gargoylish and physically closed. Cheyenne is gentle and funny, and though occasionally wise, he has never become an adult, still wearing the same clothes and makeup he started wearing at age 14.
Cheyenne enjoys a meaningful and playful marriage to Jane (Frances McDormand), with whom he has lived for 35 years. They throw dinner parties, play handball in the empty pool behind the mansion and have a lot of sex. Although the two live comfortably on his music fortune and apparently smart investments, she still enjoys working as a firefighter. Jane chides him gently for his lack of interest in songwriting or MTV's requests for televised appearances and loves him for the old-man crotchetiness he filters through his delicate, elfin persona. Penn is astonishing, creating a funny, guileless waif, infusing a faded celebrity figure with tactility and humor.
Indolent and creatively unproductive, Cheyenne is maybe the least likely globe-traveling Nazi hunter imaginable, but there you go. When his estranged father, a Holocaust survivor, passes away in New York, Cheyenne returns home for the funeral. His father's diaries document a fruitless, decades-long search for a particular German prison-camp guard. In order to heal that estrangement, Cheyenne follows the clues in the journal across the United States in a dreamlike pursuit of his father's tormentor. As he confronts the American family members of the fugitive Nazi guard, Cheyenne reveals his own gentleness and his unjudgmental affection for people.
If such disparate elements aren't perfectly balanced, the whole narrative would buckle and shatter as though a sculpture of heavy steel and fragile glasswork. Sorrentino's languorous photography, understated humor and quiet but profound dramatic reveals coil together into something organic, whole and achingly sweet.

New K Vintners tasting room under construction
A link on the K Vintners Facebook page this week offers a tantalizing peek into the construction taking place on downtown Walla Walla's Spokane Street.
The construction of a tasting room and retail space for Charles Smith Wines has been under way, but few details about the project have been revealed.
According to a posting on the K Vintners page, the new tasting room is slated to open this spring. Seattle firm Olson Kundig Architects is designing the project. The company's work includes museums, commercial design, academic buildings, exhibit design, interior design, places of worship and residences.
A few renderings viewable on the website of the Walla Walla project convey a retail storefront with the name "The Velvet Devil." Check it out at olsonkundigarchitects.com and linking to projects in progress.

While none of the following is going to suggest that we consume more egg rolls, studies of the traditional Chinese diet hold evident that a whole foods, plant based diet rich in vegetables could be the best medicine.
When comparing western diets centered heavily on dairy and animal products to the diets of other cultures, for example oriental diets composed mainly of whole grains and vegetables, we see many vast contrasts. The following distinctions have been made between the Chinese diet and the American diet in The China Project, a study conducted by T. Colin Campbell: 90% of protein that is consumed in China is from plant sources while 70% of the protein consumed in the United States is from Animal sources. China has the lowest rate of breast cancer of any nation globally. American women receive twice the dietary calcium of Chinese women yet their rates of bone loss are far greater. With the increased availability of fast food in China the rates of chronic diseases are beginning to rise.
People suffering from chronic illnesses have seen extraordinary improvements in their health by implementing a plant based diet. Damage that is done to inner cell walls from years of poor nutrition has stopped and reversed once a whole food, plant based diet is adopted.
While a completely vegan lifestyle may not be practical for all of us, these studies demonstrate the benefits to drastically cutting down our intake of animal products.

Under the concept of in loco parentis, universities generally were viewed as standing in the place of students' parents, and courts gave universities a great deal of discretion in disciplining students pursuant to such parent/child relationships. During the 1960's, however, the law moved away from the concept of in loco parentis, and the relationship between the students and a university is now considered contractual. The existence of regulations regarding student conduct does not place the University in a custodial relationship with its students or impose upon the University a duty to protect students from proscribed acts. All students who have reached the age of majority are responsible for their own actions.
Students and student organizations are not agents of the University and may not act on behalf of the University unless specifically and expressly authorized to do so by established policy or in writing by the University President, the Provost, or appropriate vice president.
SECTION II-1 Responsibilities of Students
As members of the academic community at Utah State University, students share responsibility for its growth and continued well-being and for maintaining an environment which encourages free inquiry and expression. Students are expected to engage in reasonable and substantial preparation for their coursework, to follow course and class guidelines as set forth in syllabi and as enunciated by their instructors, and to complete all academic exercises with integrity. All interactions with faculty members, staff members, and other students shall be conducted with courtesy, civility, decency, and a concern for personal dignity. These responsibilities are the foundation of the University's Standards of conduct (Student Conduct--see: Article V, Academic Integrity--see: Article VI). The University seeks to vest students with primary oversight of these responsibilities through their participation in hearings boards.
SECTION II-2 Rights of Students
Students can reasonably expect the following:
- The right to a learning environment free of harassment and unlawful discrimination.
- The right to due process in all academic integrity and disciplinary proceedings, which means fundamental and procedural fairness in accordance with the provisions of this Student Code.
- The right to inquire, including specifically the right to engage in reasonable academic discussion and dissent within the framework of course material, with due regard to factors such as class size and the limits on the instructor's time for conferences.
- The right, subject to time, place, and manner restrictions, to express personal opinions on campus, to support or oppose causes, to arrange public assemblies, and to hold rallies, demonstrations, and pickets which do not materially and substantially interfere with normal University activities or the rights of others. Institutional control of facilities shall not be used as a censorship device. Any institutional regulation regarding time, place, and manner of expression must be content-neutral, must be narrowly tailored to serve a significant University interest, and must leave open ample alternative channels of communication.
- The right to organize and the freedom of association.
- The right to publish and the freedom from censorship.
- The right to meaningful representation in the formulation of University policies which affect students.
- The right to a proper academic evaluation through orderly procedures and announced criteria designed to prevent prejudice and capricious judgment.
- The right to confidentiality of records and due limitation of disclosure of personally identifiable information.
SECTION III-1 Demonstrations and Distribution of Literature
- Students, student organizations, and nonstudent individuals or groups sponsored by students/student organizations desiring to demonstrate, picket, or distribute literature on the campus are encouraged to file a written request with the Vice President for Student Services indicating the preferred time, place, and manner of such activity. The request may be filed at least 24 hours before the activity commences. Those involved shall abide by the regulations listed in paragraph B. Where it is deemed necessary, the Vice President for Student Services shall provide for security.
- Students, student organizations, and nonstudent individuals or groups sponsored by students/student organizations, may demonstrate, picket, or distribute literature on the campus in areas generally available to the public; provided that such demonstrators, picketers, or distributors do not or do not attempt to:
- Breach the peace.
- Physically obstruct pedestrian traffic.
- Physically obstruct vehicular traffic.
- Interfere with classes or other scheduled meetings.
- Damage University property.
- Discard banners, placards, picket signs, leaflets, pamphlets, handbills, or other literature or materials in a manner which litters University property.
- Permanently occupy land areas or permanently locate signs and posters.
- Erect structures, shelters, or camps.
- Sleep overnight on University property.
- Threaten or endanger the health or safety of any person.
SECTION III-2. Posters and Bulletin Boards
- The Vice President for Student Services shall ensure that space is available on campus for posters. Students desiring to display posters in the Taggart Student Center shall confer with the Director of the Taggart Student Center (Room 326), who shall issue approval and specify the location for such display.
- Bulletin boards or announcement boards maintained by the various departments, administrative offices, and other divisions of the University are generally not suitable for the display of student posters; however, the University official in charge of any such board may give permission for the display of student posters.

Samsung buys CSR's mobile technology
updated 10:48 am EDT, Tue July 17, 2012
Move aimed at competing with Qualcomm
Samsung has bought the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location technology portfolio of chipmaker CSR, it was announced today. Reuters reported this morning that the South Korean smartphone maker had completed the deal, paying $310 million for CSR's portfolio. The move brings Samsung's capabilities more in line with those of chipmaker Qualcomm, one of Samsung's competitors in the mobile phone chip industry.
Samsung will add CSR's portfolio to its own smartphone and patent holdings. Additionally, Samsung is acquiring CSR's 310-member technology and handset team. The company will also invest $34.4 million in a 4.9 percent stake in CSR. The move, which grants Samsung royalty-free license of CSR's intellectual property for handsets and 21 US patents, effectively removes CSR from competition in the smartphone industry, where it has been struggling to remain competitive.
The addition of CSR's R&D capability is expected to strengthen Samsung's application platform and allow the company to manufacture mobile chips integrating processors and multiple connectivity technologies. Last month, the company also acquired Nanoradio, a Swedish Wi-Fi chipset company.
Absorbing Nanoradio and CSR's capabilities will allow Samsung to produce smartphone internals that feature all necessary connectivity equipment on a single chip. The company can then market these components to other manufacturers, as it already does with its memory components and display technology. Speaking on the acquisition, CSR's chief executive Joep van Beurden pointed to a "war" going on between semiconductor industry giants Qualcomm, Intel, and Samsung. Today's acquisition will give Samsung more ammunition in that war to achieve the top spot among complete chip solution providers.

1966-06-25 Ki-Soo Kim w pts 15 Nino Benvenuti, Changchung Gym, Seoul, South Korea - WBA/WBC
1966-06-25 Ki-Soo Kim w pts 15 Nino Benvenuti, Changchung Gym, Seoul, South Korea - WBA/WBC. Nicholas Pope. Scorecards: 74-68, 72-69, 68-72. Scoring with accurate southpaw left hooks to the body the challenger had the better of it early on when setting a pace that was difficult for Benvenuti (153) to work at his best, his solid right-hand punches often failing to hit the target. As the fight wore on, Kim (152¼) continued to work at a fast tempo as he bored in, and in the tenth Benvenuti was cut on his nose, being bothered by it from there on in. The fight was held up for six minutes in the 13th when one of the ropes worked loose, but it brought no real respite to Benvenuti. Although the Italian tried to pull the fight out of the fire in the last two sessions, a badly-tiring Kim clutched and held on to the final bell.
At the beginning of December, the Italian Boxing Federation asked the WBC not to recognise the forthcoming Kim v Stan Harrington title contest on the grounds that Benvenuti should have been given an immediate return. Although the WBC was happy to support Benvenuti, with it becoming clear that he was now looking to win the world middleweight title the would-be action fizzled out.
Since his unsuccessful attempt to relieve Denny Moyer of the title in 1963, Harrington had been busy, beating men such as Manuel Gonzalez, Rip Randall, Isaac Logart, Moyer, Eddie Pace, Gaspar Ortega (twice), Charley Scott, Sugar Ray Robinson (twice), Gabe Terronez, Ferd Hernandez, Rubin Carter and Jimmy Lester. Despite losing six times during that period he fully deserved another crack, especially with Benvenuti not being too concerned.

I'm still having a problem trying to decipher what they mean by 'playing for 10 venues' in order to become a guitar star. I played for tips in every public place, but they didn't count.
If I let my sim play it, he'll automatically end up putting in his backpack when he's done. Maybe in the trunk of his sportscar, which is also in his pocket.
aye , I'm also having the problem trying to figure out how to get that completed. "playing in 10 venues" thing.
Was just about to start playing in every public place my self but decided to search the web first. im glad i did
Maybe you can throw your own parties and perform there to get it?
and to get the guitar in the backpack.If you buy a guitar and place it in your house.Then press "i" on your keyboard to open your sims inventory.then you can just drag the guitar from your house into your inventory.I have one guitar at home and one in the backpack for when i play around town.
let me know if you figure out how to get that bloody "play in 10 venues" thing completed

Dell's next Android phones spoiled by Chinese government
updated 11:15 am EDT, Mon April 12, 2010
Dell Mini 3T1, 3iX spotted in advance
Dell's plans to launch a new phone, as well as a port of an existing phone, have been given away in advance through the Chinese government's own Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center. The Mini 3T1 is completely new and would be a lower-cost phone with a smaller screen and a directional pad, either supplementing or replacing the touchscreen. It would also have a simpler two-megapixel camera (versus three on the Mini 3i) and support China Mobile's TD-SCDMA for 3G.
Also on tap would be the Mini 3iX, a phone already on sale in Brazil and coming in a slightly modified form to the US as the Aero. It keeps the very rounded design of the regular 3i but has HSPA and WCDMA for its 3G on China Unicom. The Chinese version would add support for the country's proprietary WAPI standard either in place of or next to Wi-Fi.
Neither TECC slip provided a clue as to the release dates or prices, and both the 3T1 and 3iX may not arrive for some time. Whether the 3T1 will reach the US at all is still unclear as well. [via PCWorld]

Acadiana said farewell to thousands of heroes last week.
Here and across Louisiana, more than 3,000 members of the Louisiana National Guard's 256th Brigade Combat Team participated in deployment ceremonies. They left for two months of training at Camp Shelby, Miss., after which they'll be stationed in Iraq.
The 256th will provide security for facilities at Camp Victory and for vehicle convoys.
"We will have to be proficient in multiple-type vehicles and weapons systems," said Capt. Lawrence Toups, who commands one of the units in the brigade's 156th Infantry Regiment, at the ceremony Tuesday in New Iberia.
"We will go to great distances to protect those who visit the base, and that's one of the highest callings, to protect and defend the life of another."
The National Guard has a long history of answering the highest calling, no matter the role the nation's military structure finds for these citizen-soldiers.
Militias have been part of that structure since before there was a nation, starting with the Revolution. Some of the same units that left Acadiana for Mississippi have banners that flew over Civil War battlefields and in Europe during World War II.
Throughout its history, the National Guard had work to do at home, too, as when it is called up for duty in response to a disaster. During and after Hurricane Katrina, for example, Guard troops were deployed all along the Gulf Coast.
As the Guard's role evolved, it came to include specialized units, including medical and engineering units, that wartime preparedness demands but the peacetime purse can't afford as parts of the full-time military. Some of these units have been called into combat zones even when larger forces such as the 256th weren't.
Since 2001, Joint Chiefs Chaiman Mike Mullin said recently, the National Guard's status has changed from strategic reserve to operational force. Mullin urged the nation's leaders to maintain that operational role.
The importance is demonstrated by another statistic: In December, before the 256th was called up, Gen. Mike McKinley, chief of the National Guard Bureau, said 43,000 of 358,000 Guard troops were deployed overseas. And on the average day, National Guard troops in 17 states have been activated for some in-state duty.
The rest of us have a part to play here, too. Sometimes, the families of National Guard troops lack the formal support system available to families of full-time members of the military during deployments. We can help overcome the lack by being there for friends and neighbors with loved ones who have been called away for National Guard duty.
Employers can do whatever they can to meet their responsibilities to employees in the reserves. Keeping a job open is a legal requirement, and it's the least we can do for those who sacrifice to keep the nation strong.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- This holiday season might be a rough one for Albanians.
The Georgia Department of Labor reported Wednesday that the preliminary unadjusted unemployment rate in the metro Albany area increased to 10.8 percent in November.
This is an increase of seven-tenths of a percentage point from October. Over the month, the number of unemployed workers in the area increased from 7,628 to 8,233. The jobless rate in the area a year ago was 10.2 percent.
In November, 981 laid-off workers in metro Albany filed initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits, a decrease of 98, or 9.1 percent, from October.
The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 10.1 percent in November, up three-tenths of a percentage point from October's rate. This is the 38th consecutive month Georgia has been above the national rate, which is currently 9.8 percent.
State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond announced earlier in the week that the Labor Department is currently processing extended benefit claims for unemployed Georgians who will qualify under the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 -- which was enacted Friday.
The new legislation expands the extended benefits claim period through Dec. 31 of next year. The bill does not, however, provide additional benefits beyond 99 weeks.
"These additional resources will help qualified jobseekers provide food, clothing and shelter while they seek employment," Thurmond said in a statement. "I'm pleased that the approval came in time for the holidays."
Labor Department officials are identifying individuals who potentially meet the eligibility requirements as outlined in the legislation. These individuals will be notified by mail.

At last night's meeting, the Longview City Council approved a special use permit that will allow the garden to be located inside R. A. Long Park itself. City Manager Bob Gregory says that's due to the closure of the restaurant and lounge at the Monticello Hotel…squirrelfestbeer…It's estimated that it will cost the city about $3,100 for its role in the festivities, a bill that organizers say will be acceptable.

Remodeling for Charity: Brad Pitt Helps Rebuild New Orleans, Part 5 of 5
From Dean Dowd on August 28, 2009 in General Remodel
Its been a wonderful week showcasing charitable builders. These people flock in droves to worksites across the country for the sake of giving. Imagine opening your door to hundreds of hammer-holstered volunteers ready to makeover your kitchen in a matter of days. Were so proud of their hard work, not to mention warm and tingly for the impoverished families that truly needed a helping hand.
So without further ado, CalFinder presents Make It Right, Brad Pitts own organization that focuses on rebuilding New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina. Their current build? The critical Lower Ninth Ward housing project, future home to dozens of displaced families.
Make It Right
By S. Kim Henson
Brad Pitts initial visit to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina disturbed him; he was shaken by the devastation. Pitt began working with Global Green to formulate a plan for rebuilding this culturally diverse city. He worked with local experts and leading architects from all over the world. According to Architectural Record, new designs feature pared-down geometries that harmonize with traditional regional expression. These homes are not only functional, but incredibly beautiful. The first eight of 150 houses are now completed and those families have already returned home.
"You have no idea what a high it is for me to see the delight on people's faces when they see how these homes work," Pitt said in an interview. Homeowners-to-be and their children are simply thrilled to finally come home. To have a permanent house to live in again, one woman said, Itd be heaven. A little boy commented, Id be the happiest child on earth. And thats just what hell be. Pitt raised millions of dollars for these homes, in large part from other big actors like Lawrence Fishburne, David Spade and comedic genius Will Ferrell, who sponsored an entire home. Hundreds of hard-hit families will soon return to sustainable, safe and healthy houses that preserve the spirit of New Orleans culture.
Want to help Pitt rebuild New Orleans? Every little bit helps. Donate here.

Election Day is a few days away, but it's not on many minds.
Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath are occupying us, and rightfully so. Many of us were weary of politics before the storm hit, and certainly now, politics isn't a priority.
Survival is, for so many.
Besides, the presidential campaign, more than any I can recall, has been an example of too much and too little at the same time: too much game playing and obvious political divide but too few facts.
After seeing what damage Mother Nature can create, who has patience for this?
The facts about the candidates' records and plans have been hidden by the games and anger and ads, like a dark chocolate frosting hiding a mediocre cake. We get so taken with appearances and opinion that we forget to notice: The cake is so-so and we're not sure what's in it.
In the best days of this campaign, but especially now, when what's important is so clear - home, family, safety - aren't many of us disillusioned?
Disillusioned with how little some lawmakers grasp the problems of everyday people?
Disillusioned with too many lawmakers focused on power for their party, not on representing us in Congress?
Disillusioned with budget cuts automatically meaning chopping social-assistance programs for the poor, the ill, senior citizens who aren't well off - namely, those with the least say?
Disillusioned by male lawmakers' attacks on women? (I've wondered these past months if someone turned the calendar back to the 1950s.)
But this is America. We can beat anything, overcome anything.
Even now, when so many are simply trying to hold together or piece back together their lives, we can have a say in our future.
Despite the chaos Sandy has left, vote on Election Day. Make this an Election Day with one hell of a turnout and prove not even Mother Nature can beat us.
Afterward, no matter who is elected, we can
get involved. Learn the facts. Speak up. Volunteer.
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world," said the late, great leader Mahatma Gandhi.
Even with the loss and pain from this storm, the waiting and fixing up, even when disillusioned: Let's be that change.

As the clouds parted briefly Tuesday for a break in the rain, vineyard managers across Sonoma County scrambled to get precious grapes off the vine, racing the clock again before another storm arrived in the evening.
The wet weather hitting the North Coast this week has grape growers concerned they could lose even more of a crop already expected to be 10 percent smaller than normal.
On just about everybody's mind was botrytis, or "bunch rot," a mold that shrivels the grapes and concentrates their flavors. Thinner-skinned grapes like chardonnay, pinot noir and zinfandel are more susceptible to the rot, which is more likely to take hold if a grape's skin splits. And with rain seeping into the soil and trickling up the vine's roots, grapes are getting plumper by the day.
2011: Grape Harvest Begins
Chardonnay, Sonoma County's largest grape crop at more than 16,000 acres, could be among the hardest hit if the rainy weather continues, in part because the grapes have taken longer to ripen. Especially in cooler regions, there's still a lot hanging on the vines.
The latest storm swooped south from the Gulf of Alaska into California on its way to northern Baja.
It arrived Tuesday night in the North Bay, where it was expected to drop up to 2 inches of rain in the hills and more than an inch in the valleys. To the east, the storm was expected to give the Sierra its first taste of winter, with a foot of snow predicted in the higher elevations.
"All the major Sierra passes will have snow," said Steve Anderson, meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
A few lingering showers could continue through Thursday morning, followed by dry skies in the afternoon.
"It'll be a sunny, dry, warm weekend," said Anderson. "Not in the 80s, we're done with that for a bit. Mid to upper 70s," he said.
Summer ended just two weeks ago, but the North Coast has already been hit by two winter-like storms in just three days. The first arrived Monday morning, dropped more than an inch of rain in several areas and moved out early Tuesday.

A local farmer will be presenting two $2,500 checks to Marion County Schools tonight. Pella resident Mark Van Wyngarden entered into a Monsanto Fund program called Grow Communities, which gives winners the chance to donate $2,500 to a non-profit of their choice. Van Wyngarden will present two of these check, one to Pella Christian High School, and one to Creation Station Preschool. He will be able to present two checks, because as part of the program, farmers in counties declared a drought disaster area received double the donation.

I say he is a bald faced liar with bad taste... cause his poster is way better then the majority of the posters on our site. One of the best indie horror posters I have seen in awhile and a kick ass tagline to! In House of Pain, A group of friends go to Niagara Falls for a Vegas style weekend wedding. While there, they purchase tickets for a haunted/fun house, and quickly discover that it is more than it appears to be.

Now that I have become the hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, I have the chance to do something that I wish I was able to do five years ago.
I never knew when, but I always knew this day would come. It's time for me to talk about the past and to confirm what people have suspected. I used steroids during my playing career and I apologize. I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989/1990 off season and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again. I used them on occasion throughout the nineties, including during the 1998 season.
All joking aside, good for Big Mac for finally coming clean.

1.) Their home country is being invaded by a foreign power
2.) Their friends and families are being killed for no arguable reason
3.) They would surely die if they fought agains the superior invader
4.) They know their land will be exploited if they do nothing.
Now I suggest that most barking babies arguing against "terrorists" in Iraq haven't got a clue what they are talking about. They only see the death and blood on the tv from their sofa back home thousands of miles away in safety.

Actually, the Americans were not even invited to the game, they just forced a game cause they were bullies and wanted to.
Pretty much same as China's occupation of Tibet. (and threatening of Taiwan) And same for Russia because Chechnya.

Test Drive Unlimited, for example, has one.
It largely depends on how the game actually work. You can't expect people to make trainers that hack server-sided data such as money and exp.
It is, however, arguably possible to do a physical trainer like the good old Instant 1000mph, Instant Brake or even Never Busted. I'm not a trainer maker, though.

WASHINGTON -- At Oak Hill Baptist Church in Hernando, Miss., some seniors now exercise with their grandchildren.
Later this month, churchgoers will take a taste test -- to decide which desserts have sugar and which have sugar substitutes.
By summer, the church will start handing out weekly study guides that include a Bible lesson and a story about healthy living. ...

Jacksonville police release identities of 2 bodies found Monday
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville teacher accused of numerous charges of sexual battery on a child was given a total bond of $750,000.
Christopher Robert Bacca, 26, made his first appearance in court Wednesday morning for arraignment. He's accused of sexual battery on a victim less than 12. His next court date is August 15.
Bacca, a former teacher of the year, was first hired in August 2008 as a fourth grade teacher at Long Branch Elementary School.
He transferred to Windy Hill Elementary in January 2010, according to Duval County Public Schools spokesperson Jill Johnson.
Bacca also worked as a camp instructor at the Museum of Science & History, though he has not been employed there since June, according to Kristi Taylor, MOSH's communications manager.
Here is a letter, provided by Taylor, that was sent to parents of campers:
Dear MOSH Camp Parent,
We learned today about the arrest of a Duval County public school teacher. This teacher has served as a camp instructor at MOSH.
We are surprised and incredibly disappointed by the allegations reported. They are not consistent with the values we reflect as an organization or the strict screening requirements we hold for all employees and volunteers.
We want to make sure that you fully understand that the safety of our campers, employees, volunteers and visitors is our first priority. While we have not been advised of any issues involving our youth, we stand readily available to support all agencies conducting any investigation..

Bright blue glowing UFO filmed from airplane window during flight from Florida to Pennsylvania
// January 4th, 2013 // No Comments » // News
An interesting video posted on YouTube shows a bright blue, glowing light hovering in the clouds. The video was shot from the window seat of a commercial airliner on a fight from Florida to Pennsylvania and has generated much talk on the paranormal forums. Some have suggested that the flight was not "30,000 feet in the air" but rather, given the angle of the flaps on the airplane's wing, was in a descent pattern. This is a crucial fact given that the glowing object could be atop a stationary object (e.g. mountain) if the plane was flying at a lower altitude. However, if the flight was indeed at a cruising altitude, then this report becomes much more difficult to explain.

The newly formed consumer-financial federal watchdog has in its sights a long-time concern of advocates: the overdraft charge.
If history is a gauge, this could be a long battle, as banks have long used overdraft charges as a big profit center and have argued consumers want what banks call protection.
When customers spend more money than is in their accounts the banks essentially give them a very short-term loan, charging them up a flat fee, sometimes up to $35, to cover the amount. The fee was the same if the customer took out $2 more than was in the account or $200 and consumers were automatically given the protection.
The practice was regularly questioned by consumer advocates, both because borrowers had no say in the matter and because of the way banks processed transactions by size instead of chronological order, which tended to increase the likelihood of an overdraft.

How to Choose the "Write" Pen
Hi! My name is Diana Regal and I'm new to Shoplet's blog-universe, but I'm liking it so far, so good! A lil'bit about myself: I just sheared off most of my hair so that I can look more like Michelle Williams (that's not working too well, but I'm managing) and I, like most of the Shoplet crew, am über passionate about office supplies! If I had to pick my favorite office supply, it would either be the post it, or paperclip, or pen, or whatever. You get it. I hope you enjoy what I've got to say (I've got a lot to say!).
How to Choose A…
We've heard it all before: in a world filled with pens, there's got to be one that's "write" for you. But, sometimes it's hard to know which pen meshes best with your one-of-a-kind, spell-binding, magnetic personality. And, once you and your pen start going steady, how can you be so certain that your pen won't totally embarrass you in the midst of a very important situation? Or what if your pen is unfaithful, stealing away into the deceptive hands of your pen-obsessive cubicle neighbor?
Lucky for you, you don't have to worry about what your human-pen children will look or act like, or whether or not you and your pen will get along for the next eighty plus years. If you're actually thinking about romancing with your pen then (I hate to break it to you, but…) you're thinking way, way, WAY too much about your relationship pens, and (T.B.H.) that's a bit worrisome.
Still, finding the right pen can be a pretty daunting task, which is why this blog post exists! To help you find the "write" pen <3 we're here to make sure that you're not settling for the wrong pen.
Potential Pen Suitors!
A Pen With a Grip
If you're taking a writing test, or just plan on writing for an extended period of time, then I suggest that you choose a pen with a grip. It is so annoying when your hands get all nervous and crampy from hours of vigorous writing. Or maybe your hands are just clammy in general? There's nothing worse than writing a bunch and dealing with your hand sliding down your pen because of all the sweat! A pen with a grip can save your sentences from being interrupted by the hassle of readjusting your grip.
Fountain Pen
If you want to look super sophisticated, I'd suggest writing with a fountain pen. After the advent of the ballpoint pen in 1888, the use of fountain pens plummeted dramatically. Today, fountain pen users are a dying breed, which is a shame because, when being handled by one who has mastered the art of writing with a fountain pen, fountain pens write beautifully.
But before you go buy a fountain pen, it's worth noting that fountain pens take time to get used to. The ink in a fountain pen flows out quickly and takes a while to dry, so it's tricky to write a new sentence without smearing the last one. This tutorial explains how to properly write with a fountain pen. If you're willing to devote time and effort to perfecting your fountain-penmanship, well, props to you! A signature is most elegant and attractive when signed with a fountain pen.
Ball Point Pen
The most commonly used pen, a ballpoint pen is excellent for everyday use. Especially on rough surfaces, or when you need to aggressively press hard on paper (like when you're finishing up your novel in the backseat of a golf cart). Also, ball point since most ball point pens come in multi-colored variety packs, ball point pens are great for drawing colorful pictures or color-coding notes. Most importantly, ball point pens are the best pens to loan to friends, family, and even strangers, since they are totally easy to replace and are pretty inexpensive!
Stainless Steel Pen
Are you a doctor, police officer, or soldier in the military? While both professions sound like they don't have that much in common, they are all connected through their common dependence of the same type of pen! Stainless steel pens are skinny, so they fit perfectly into the small, compartmentalized pocket of doctor, police, and army uniforms. They are also totally durable, so they are perfect for careers that entail getting rough 'n tough, or adventurous types who might get caught in rocky situations! Stainless steel pens write with precision and often have grips attached to them, which is an added bonus.
Ink Gel Pen
Ink gel pens are great fun. They make your writing look thick, bold, and crisp! They are the paintbrushes of ballpoint pens—if that makes any sense. But, it's important to bear in mind that the ink of ink gel pens resemble the consistency of sloshy watercolors (if you've worked with water colors, you know that if careful attention is not paid, it's easy to muddy up a masterpiece). So, like fountain pens, they can be kind of difficult to master.
The fact that some extra attention needs to be paid to one's ink gel pen grip is grossly overlooked! Writing with ink gel pens can be an especially arduous task if you're a leftie. Make sure that the pen cradled in your hand is angled towards you, not above your script, and keep the palm of your hand directly below your script to insure to protect your work from smearing. It's also unnecessary to press down hard against your paper when writing with an ink gel pen, because the ink will often bleed through to the other side of your sheet.
Aside from the annoying particularities of ink gel pens- they really are so much fun to work with. Like ball point pens, they come in a variety of colors and bleed onto your paper in a very excessive and exciting way.
We hope that you enjoyed our guide to finding the "write" pen! We wish you and your pen pal the best of luck on your writing adventures ;)
If you want my expert opinion, ink gel pens are the dandiest, most perfect pens out there. If an ink gel pen were a dude, I'd be like, "alriiigghhht!"

hotel description
This certified green hotel—named best boutique hotel by San Francisco magazine in 2004—offers a waterfront location and plush accommodations.
The Destination
The Destination
Resting on the edge of its namesake bay, where sails match the crests on the water, San Francisco is a city seemingly always poised for a postcard. Its hills, which cluster together neighborhoods of multicolored Victorian homes, are as recognizable as the fog that rolls in at all times of the year. Brave the hills to uncover the city's world-class culinary scene, from the pastas of North Beach to the tacos of the Mission District, and you're sure to discover the city's many personalities as well. Watch the sunset from a perch overlooking one of the city's famed bridges, and then retreat to a barstool to sip an inventive cocktail at a tucked away bar.
The Digs
Named Best Boutique Hotel by San Francisco magazine in 2004, Hotel Griffon offers yet another reason to retreat to the City by the Bay. This certified green hotel—which looks east over the Bay and west into the Financial District—makes a great home base from which to experience the city. Each of the 62 guest rooms is appointed with plush mattresses and deluxe bedding, a flat-screen TV, plush bathrobes, eco-friendly bath products, and more.
The Diversions
A short walk north on the Embarcadero will lead you to the stately Ferry Building, home to a thrice-weekly farmers' market and a variety of shops and restaurants. Try Hog Island Oyster Company for a dozen Kumamotos and a glass of champagne. A handful of museums and galleries are also close by, including The San Francisco Railway Museum. And when it's time for dinner, 40-year-old Perry's is attached to the hotel and serves upscale homestyle dishes—think meat loaf and deconstructed chicken pot pie—in a relaxed yet urbane setting that matches the laid-back vibe of San Fran itself.
