2014 Pétrus, Pomerol
Review Date: 06-26-2015
Good, strong, red apple and black cherry fruit; not heavy or over-extracted in any way. Classic style with racy acidity; a powerful finish with fine tannins. Not a plush Petrus. ** Two stars

2014 Pichon-Lalande, Pauillac
Review Date: 06-02-2015
Lots of lovely, exotic, grapey fruit; elegant and precise. Tasty, with a long finish. Pichon-Lalande is back in a big way after complete reconstruction of the vinification facility and the way the fruit is handled. Two stars. **

2014 Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux(1.5L)
Review Date: 05-07-2015

2014 d'Armailhac, Pauillac
Review Date: 05-06-2015
d'Armaillac- Lovely upfront sweet red fruits, very attractive, with nice thick middle fruit and good tannins. The Mouton wine you can drink young and it is a winner! 1 Star
Price: $34.99
2014 Clerc-Milon, Pauillac
Review Date: 05-06-2015
Clerc Milon- Definitely in the classic style of Mouton but with a touch more forward sweet which is nice, but is still very concentrated. Long serious wine and should be one of the great aging values. 1.5 Stars
Price: $48.99
2014 Capbern St-Estèphe
Review Date: 05-06-2015
78% Cabernet Sauvignon 100% Delicious! Loaded with deep red fruit, fine balance, serious wine and very tasty. Could be the best value of the entire vintage.
Price: $17.99
2014 Palmer, Margaux
Review Date: 05-03-2015
A very serious and strong Palmer. Intense dark fruit with boysenberry hints, zesty and spicy. Complex, powerful, linear, and long in the mouth; this baby needs time! ** 2 Stars.
Price: $224.99
2014 Lynch-Bages, Pauillac (1.5L)
Review Date: 05-03-2015
Bright and floral zesty red fruits greet you, followed by direct and tightly focused spicy Cabernet fruit on the palate. Like the Baron wine, not much flesh here. * 1 Star.

2014 Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac

2005 Valandraud, St-Emilion
Review Date: 11-06-2014
A great vintage of Valandraud at this price; I am all in! As always, this wine exhibits deep, saturated purple fruit, sweet blackberry fruit on nose with toasty oak. On the palate exotic flavors of chocolate and blackcherry lead to a dry finish. This wine features the hallmark qualities of the outstanding 2005 vintage; purity of fruit, with great acidity and fantastic freshness! Ralph Sands
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: Hidden
2013 Palmer, Margaux
Review Date: 09-08-2014
Lovely rich entry on the palate followed by strong, firm, masculine, red black fruit with great precision. Built to lay away for 10-20 years.**
Price: $249.99
2012 Léoville-Poyferré, St-Julien
Review Date: 06-13-2014
* Another winner! Rich wine with good, long tannins.
Price: $74.99
2007 Phélan-Ségur, St-Estèphe
Review Date: 05-19-2014
Very elegant cherry fruit from front to back.
Price: $39.99
2013 Pontet-Canet, Pauillac
Review Date: 05-14-2014
Huge layers of silky, ripe black fruits and the fact that it smells like Zinfandel define this wine! Behind all of this fruit is brisk acidity and a long finish. This wine will be controversial, but it is undeniably super tasty! *½
Price: $99.99
2013 Pichon-Baron, Pauillac
Review Date: 05-14-2014
Striking aromas of strong Cabernet Sauvignon (82%) jump out of the glass followed by dark, bold, powerful fruit. This wine is classic claret: firm, honest and perfectly balanced. No question, it is one of the top wines of the vintage and one of the best cellar candidates. *½
Price: $89.99
2013 Branaire-Ducru, St-Julien
Review Date: 05-13-2014
Braniare Durcu- Honest as they come! Bright, fresh, elegant wine with tart cherry fruit. This tasty wine will be a lovely early drink.*
Price: $44.99
2013 Malescot-St-Exupéry, Margaux
Review Date: 05-13-2014
Big wine with loads of soft, sweet ripe fruit in layers. Good round tannins and lovely finish. Very impressive, tasty, lush wine that will drink well young.**
Price: $47.99
2013 Labégorce, Margaux
Review Date: 05-12-2014
Everyone should be aware that Delphine Colasa and winemaker Marjolaine Maurice-de-Coninck have turned this estate (and sister Ch. Marquis D'Alesme) around in just a few years; the wines are so much better now! Hats off! Labegorce has attractive-plump Merlot (53%) fruit with cassis, spice and earth. (Marquis d'Alseme is very bright and has more sparkling blue fruits and distinct minerality.) Both are star wines. *
Price: $25.99
2013 Langoa-Barton, St-Julien
Review Date: 05-08-2014
* Nice freshness, firm elegant wine with hints of cranberry and black cherry fruits. Consistent, tasted three times, classic claret at every tasting.
Price: $49.99
2013 Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux
Review Date: 05-08-2014
Amazing consistency and what a classy perfectly balanced wine from front to finish. Lovely.**
Price: $56.99
2011 Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 05-02-2014
Sweet raspberries and black fruits, very floral, with herbal notes and earth all pulled together by round, firm tannins and a very long finish. Tasted twice. I'm 56 years old and Cantemerle is now my #1 favorite château, and I seriously doubt that will ever change. The reason is simple: great, complex wine, consistent quality and a fair price. A winner every time! **
Price: $29.99
2012 Margaux, Margaux
Review Date: 05-01-2014
** 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Lovely aromas of red roses and warm spices. Much rounder and deeper than the Pavillon. May not possess the weight and length of a great vintage, but does have the velvety texture the château is famous for. Lovely, charming and will drink well young.
Price: $379.99
2013 Margaux, Margaux (1.5L)
Review Date: 05-01-2014
The nose of a great Ch. Margaux is there, followed by medium-bodied sweetness and impeccable balance. A strict selection of 38% of the crop went into the first wine but is a prime example of how difficult this vintage was. *½

2013 Léoville-Las Cases, St-Julien
Review Date: 05-01-2014
Serious business, a powerful expression of concentrated reds fruits that are fresh and attractive. The key is the long finish. Great vineyard, great wine. (The Petite Lion is the second wine, a bit lighter in body but super clean and has all freshness as well as nice tannins.) **
Price: $129.99
2013 Léoville-Barton, St-Julien
Review Date: 05-01-2014
This wine, like so many of the best St-Julien estates is just amazingly consistent. Bursting with masculine, deep purple and blue fruits. Sparking acidity and firm tannins are the backbone. *½
Price: $74.99
2013 Smith-Haut-Lafitte Blanc, Pessac-Léognan
Review Date: 04-28-2014
90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris. Beautiful aromas of white flowers and vanilla on the nose. Persistent green apple fruit on the palate and throughout the long finish. Another outstanding winner for your chicken dinner! **
Price: $89.99
2013 Giscours, Margaux
Review Date: 04-28-2014
Record 80% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, good, powerful firm fruit with sweet tannins. Zesty acid, serious wine. This estate as well as Ch. Du Tertre are on a fine roll under the direction of Alexandre Van Beek. *½
Price: $39.99
2013 Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge, Pessac-Léognan
Review Date: 04-28-2014
Smith stays true to their international style by making a deliciously rich and round wine with lots of red-blue fruits and a warm, soft mouth feel. A touch of spice, minerality and tannin on the finish. Lovely mid-term drinker. *

2003 Sarget de Gruaud Larose, St-Julien

2012 Pontet-Canet, Pauillac
Review Date: 05-03-2013
** Established in 1725! There is just no stopping the fantastic roll of quality here! The perfectly ripe blueberry and blackberry fruit is focused and is amazingly fresh. Firm but round tannins and new oak is the framework for this great tasting PC that is accessible and invigorating. Hats off to Alfred Tesseron for giving the world good reason to be excited about buying the best wines made in 2012 as he drops his price to 1/3 the price of his 2009 and 2010 now in the marketplace.
Top Value!
Price: $99.99

Deep, grapey, masculine wine. It was really good the second time we tasted it.
Price: $129.99
2000 Grand Mayne, St-Emilion
Review Date: 02-05-2013
Really tastes like old vine Merlot! It has deep black fruit with leathery, earthy hints and richbut- a-touch-rustic tannins. A very long wine, and a textbook 2000.
Price: $89.99
2009 Reserve de la Comtesse Lalande, Pauillac
Review Date: 02-05-2013
A cedary nose... tight and dusty; it will need time.

Strong and masculine, with lots of coffee flavors.
Price: $149.99

Review Date: 10-23-2012
Very serious, deep and lively, with sweet fruit and classic structure. Will be one of the longest lived '09s.
Price: $199.99
2006 Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 10-04-2011
*1/2 Wow! Very special wine made here in 2006, surely the best in modern times. Spicy ripe fruit with fine middle richness, sweetness and mouthfeel. Alex Brisoux: Sweet, spicy red fruit, cocao/tobacco undertone, good structure, elegant long finish, the best young Cantemerle I've ever tasted. And on 01/23/09: As good as it gets for the price. Rich and full, lingering finish.
Price: $39.99

Ronald MacDonald robs Wendy's, loses job
- MANCHESTER, New Hampshire - A name like Ronald MacDonald might have raised suspicion from the start for a Wendy's employee.
Now the 22-year-old MacDonald has been charged with stealing from a safe at the Wendy's restaurant where he worked.
The man is no relation to the cheerful, red-haired clown who is the face of the McDonald's advertising campaign.
The restaurant manager said he found MacDonald and another employee taking the money at about 1:30 a.m. Monday.
MacDonald and Steve Lemay, 20, were detained at the store until police arrived.
MacDonald is expected to face a probation violation charge along with theft charges.

Cookworks solo microwave, so far, so good
I bought this microwave to tide me over while waiting for my main one to be repaired. Although I didn't have high expectations it has been better than anticipated. It is a little slower to cook but I am used to a higher power, it means allowing extra time. For cooking vegetables, fish, scramble eggs and one-person microwave meals or heating a mug of water for coffee it seems fine, but I doubt it would stand up to the amount of use of my usual machine. It is lightweight and if I have one minor complaint it is that to open or close the door or to press the pads requires two hands, one to stop the oven moving about.

Great if used for Heating only.
I bought this microwave purely for Heating up soup, beans etc and re-heating. It does exactly what i want but if i decide to start roasting etc i will have to upgrade my microwave. I have had this microwave for 4 years now with no problems and considering it only cost £35 at the time i think it has been a bargain.

Computer Science
Carter Cleveland '09
Founder of Art.sy
I studied computer science as an engineer at Princeton because I found programming to be incredibly addictive. I grew up obsessed with math and physics, and was originally a physics major. Programming gave me the pleasure of working with challenging and abstract problems, but in a far more creative context where I could see the results of my work appear before my eyes. In a way, computer science is like math but with a far richer language for expressing problems and solutions.
I will never forget one homework assignment in particular. Programming a 2-D model of the solar system and watching it come to life on my computer screen was an amazing moment, and that was just weeks into my first computer science course. I remember throwing a black hole into my solar system and watching everything fly into chaos.
I was always interested in other subjects such as dance and art history, and took many of those courses. At one point I was tempted to switch into art history to escape the huge engineering workload. But passions such as art history are far easier to pursue in life by constantly reading books, going to museums, and attending lectures. Computer science is impossible to engage with on a casual basis. It requires a massive and highly focused investment of time and energy, ideally with the world's best teachers guiding you at the same time.
Freedom to follow dreams
I founded a company called Art.sy. It's similar to Pandora, but for fine art. Using artificial intelligence technology, our goal is to get as many people as possible educated, excited, and passionate about fine art. We are very early stage, but recently raised money from Eric Schmidt (who is Class of '76 and was then CEO of Google), Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter and Square), and several other prominent investors. We are also advised, among others, by Joe Kennedy (CEO of Pandora and Class of '81). It's worth noting that both Eric Schmidt and Joe Kennedy earned computer science degrees from Princeton.
Computer science gives you the ultimate freedom to pursue your dreams. Computer science majors are in such high demand that you will never have to worry about making money again. And this demand is increasing exponentially. In fact, I believe that programming—like touch-typing—will become a mandatory skill taught to all students in the future. More importantly, computer science is the ideal major if you want to start your own company.
Computer science also teaches you how to think about the world and understand it on a very abstract level. Many everyday issues and problems can be abstracted into beautiful computer science-related paradigms.
But at the end of the day, it is about doing what you love. And because of the increasingly ubiquitous relevance of information technology, no matter where your heart leads you, your computer science skills will allow you to follow it.

The No. 6 UK men's tennis team opened SEC play this weekend by defeating No. 47 Arkansas and No. 39 Louisiana State at the Boone Tennis Complex.
Friday's match was against the Razorbacks, who came in with an 11-3 record. The Cats started strong, winning the doubles point thanks to courts two and three. During the doubles match junior Tom Jomby was visibly upset at the chair, and following the match he refused to shake the chair's hand.
Jomby's behavior continued into singles, where he constantly was yelling at the chair and received two code violations during his three-set win. Jomby dropped just his second set of the year, with the other coming against the University of Southern California in early February.
When asked about Jomby's behavior following the match, head coach Cedric Kauffmann said his star player's attitude is a work in progress.
"We have been working on Tom's attitude for two and a half years now, and he is almost there," Kauffmann said. "We definitely are not as good without him, but there is still clearly some work that needs to be done."
The Cats would clinch the match rather quickly, winning on courts one, three and two to get the fourth and deciding point.
Senior Anthony Rossi had a good showing, defeating No. 125 Greg Lehmann, 6-2, 6-2. Rossi showed all facets of his game for his eighth straight victory.
UK would end up dropping two of the final three matches to make the final score 5-2.
"We did not play like a championship team today," Kauffmann said following the match. "We got the win and I am happy for the boys, but we did not close this match out like a championship team."
On Sunday, the Cats took the courts again to face off with the No. 39-ranked Tigers of LSU. UK would again get off to a quick start easily winning the doubles point. No. 21 Jomby and freshman Kevin Lai won their first SEC match, 8-5.
Rossi would play strong again, collecting his ninth straight win, beating LSU's Chris Simpson, 6-3, 6-1. Rossi went 4-0 this weekend.
Jomby got back to form, winning easily, 6-2, 6-4, and also improving on his behavior from Friday.
Sophomore Charles Minc would clinch the match for the Cats on court four, winning 6-4, 6-4. Minc, who usually plays out of the No. 5 spot, recently replaced freshman Juan Pablo Murra in the No. 4 slot.
The Cats (14-2, 2-0 SEC) will head to Waco, Texas, next week to take on No. 26 Baylor before heading to College Station to take on the Aggies of Texas A&M. It will be the Cats' and Aggies' first matchup in SEC play.

I am looking for islands and beached in Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, etc) that are similar to the Gili Islands in Indonesia. I really enjoy the relaxed setting with the option of partying at night...and of course the awesome beaches.
I have been to Thailand...Phi Phi, Railay, Samui, Tao, Phangan...just looking for more paradise Islands

In Penisular Malaysia, my favourites and romantic island is the Perhentian Islands. Untouched, white sand and clear sea.

I too think the Perhentians go closest to the Gilis. Specifically Perhentian Kecil.
There are other gems on the eastern peninsula coast. Kapas is closest to Gili Meno in that it is relatively unvisited. But it has better beaches than the Gilis and is has very quick and inexpensive access.
Ditto Redang for nicer beaches. But the main beach there is packed with package places which are very big with holidaying Malaysians and Singaporeans and increasingly, Chinese. Not much bottom budget accommodation.
Lang Tengah is a relatively unvisited gem but is expensive to access and to stay (for most resorts).
Tioman probably has the best mix of all these - a beach for everyone from high-rollers to backpackers.

Yes Perhentian island is good, Pulau Rawa near Tioman is not bad too, more to natural, Redang and tioman can consider nice but more commercial. Cherating at Kuantan is not bad too.

Perhentian island is okay but my choice would be Redang island. A really relaxing and beautiful place where the mountains in the background are stunning. I haven't been there for 18 months so maybe I am a little behind the times. Clear blue waters for snorkling and glistening white sanded beaches... what else do you want!

Have you considered Langkawi ? It's a lovely island with many beautiful resorts around. I recommend the Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa. This city only comes alive at night, so you will definitely not be faced with a lack of nightlife here.

You should go to one of the islands in Semporna, which is in the east coast of Sabah,Borneo.
Recommend Mabul,Kapalai or Mataking islands.
Let me know if you are considering of heading there, will give more infos.
Cheers ~!

I'll definitely recommend Langkawi. It combines almost everything you would want to sample, on one island, other than a big city.
Beaches that are desserted, beaches along busy and lively strips with vibrant nightlife, a 1000m mountain you can drive up to for chilly breeze and a 360degree view of the island, a 700m you can take a cable-car up to across virgin rainforest and mountain landscapes, cruise on a yacht around uninhabited islands, watersports, beachsports, very affordable global and local dining, shopping, and it's only an hour flight from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. These days with low fare airlines, return flights can easily be within $50 if you book in advance. Hotels of all budget ranges are abundant. Best to choose one along or near Pantai Cenang for good access to the beach and a happening strip.
Some links to check out for photos and writeups just to get the general idea.

Paul Ebel (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Carol Miller (www.flutotscamerarepair.com) are both well thought of for leaf shutter repair/CLA. Both are as close to you as your closest PO. I've used both.
However, Flutot's has a waiting list (due to illness) and may not be soon enough for your purposes.
But if they haven't been used in a while, I would thoroughly exercise them (as noted earlier) to make sure that doesn't alleviate the problem.

Keith and "Countdown" contributor Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone discuss the remarkable decision by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff to reject a $285 million settlement between Citigroup and the Securities and Exchange Commission for misleading investors. Taibbi points out that banks take punitive settlements in stride, saying, "They recognize that every now and then they're going to get dragged into court, they're going to have to give a little bit of money to somebody, and then they get to walk away and keep doing it."

One Direction's Zayn Malik is the latest in the world in showbiz to delete his Twitter account, claiming that he is 'sick of all the useless opinions and hate', simply posting a last 'goodbye' before disappearing for good. Booooo!
It seems that the 1D star is all loved up with his Little Mix girlfriend Perrie Edwards, so no longer needs the extra attention from the opposite sex online and is just hating those haters!
The boyband member posted two messages on the microblogging site saying he would not be sending any more updates.
The messages read, "The reason I don't tweet as much as I use to, is because I'm sick of all the useless opinions and hate that I get daily goodbye twitter."
"Fans that have something to say can tweet me on the one direction account."
And Zayn's not the first to leave the social networking site after getting hate mail sent to him, with rapper Nicki Minaj leaving after she had a row with a fan who posted snippets of her album online and even teen queen Miley Cyrus deleted her account back in 2009 before returning earlier this month, where she's since been posting constant comments and photo's...ahem.
However, One Directioners don't fret because the rest of the 1D's Twitter's are still live and kicking, so you won't be short of any updates and shenanigans.
And Zayn, if you change your mind...you still have 30 days to reactivate your account.
Meanwhile, Zayn shunned a 'lads' weekend at V Festival over the weekend to be with his other half whilst her and her Little Mix bandmates performed at G.A.Y on Saturday night (August 18).
The devoted boyfriend was spotted at G.A.Y. nightclub last night (August 18) to support his other half, as Little Mix took to the stage with her band mates to perform their latest track Wings along with some sneaky previews of some upcoming tracks.
Awww, young love!
1D's Harry & Zayn party on a 'wild' night out!

Report: Massive Investment Will Be Needed To Maintain Reliable Energy
|in News Departments > New & Noteworthy
The U.S. utility industry will have to invest between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion between 2010 and 2030 to maintain current levels of reliable energy service for customers throughout the country, according to a new report issued today by the Brattle Group, which provides consulting and expert testimony in economics, finance and regulation.
The findings are detailed in "Transforming America's Power Industry: The Investment Challenge 2010-2030." The report was presented by Peter Fox-Penner, a principal of the Brattle Group, at the Edison Electric Institute's 43rd Financial Conference. The report was sponsored by the Edison Foundation.
According to the report, all types of new generation capacity will be needed, including natural gas, coal, nuclear and renewables. Nearly 40 GW of new renewable capacity will be needed just to meet state requirements.
Significantly, capital spending to upgrade distribution and transmission facilities nationwide may surpass investment in new generation, the study found. Smart grid technologies to ramp up efficiency - along with new power lines to integrate renewable electricity sources - will account for much of that spending.

I posted pictures of Kelly Clarkson without makeup earlier today. Some of you liked her being so natural. Well, I received an email with a link to a bunch of photos of Gwen Stefani BEFORE photoshopping. Click here to check it out. It's a lot different than how we are used to seeing her.
Speaking of cameras picking up too much detail, a Mamiya ZD cam has 22 megapixels…
If you look closely below the eyes, you can see where someone cut and pasted her eyes to this pic. It is NOT Gwen. Gimme a break!
I guess Proactive has thier next spokesperson.
I agree, not that it matters but I have met Gwen twice and have been very close at ND shows. She looks flawless in person. Even with tons of stage make up on.
Gwen looks good either way , I think she is a pretty real person so she would tell anyone with a bad comment to go screw themselves .

problems with getting assistive technology to diabled students battle of the sexes tennis match king rated x cams naughty girls mas fiberglass pussy 101 tallahassee airport boston marathon video x-box video games devan glisten pics
Well when you see her in real life she dosent look like this so why the fuck would she look like this on this?
Um that seems a bit exaggerated…ive seen pics of her without makeup and she doesnt look nearly as bad as these pics…and besides thats what hollywood is about airbrushing…
Hmmmm, not so sure I believe this. We see pics of her all the time out and about with the baby and she looks a whole lot better than this.
well, could it be a combination of caking on makeup (which might exaggerate the surface of the skin) and really brigt lighting that would exaggerate the exaggerations?
Why would she have bright red lipstick on and nothing else? Obviously photoshopped.
I agree with comment #4, that the pics might be real. Type of lighting makes a huge difference.
Could be real. Too many photographers rely on post production work to make their photos good. This could just be lazy photography.
well, it is pretty close up…
The pics are real. Professional photographers use very high resolution cameras and lenses which pick up every single detail. Add to the element very realistic, harsh lighting and viola. My bf was a professional photographer and he would show me pics of models before editing. Many of them had zits, large pores and wrinkles like everyone else.
I really doubt that is real. I think that photo was photoshopped into looking worse. They did the same thing with Britney Spears. They NEVER look that bad in candids, why would they look worse at a photoshoot? Its just so fake, shes like 30 not 70!

Californians Don't See Much in the Republican Party
If you want to know why no one is talking about which way California will go in the November presidential election, the answer is simple: Mitt Romney doesn't have a prayer. It's not the polls that lead to that conclusion. All you have to do is look at the state's latest voter registration statistics. They're really quite stunning in what they reveal about the GOP's fade toward irrelevance in the nation's largest state. According to the latest figures from the Secretary of State's office, Democratic registration is 43.5% to 30.3% for Republicans. Read more at Politico

Plane's near-miss is a whale of a taleComment on this story
Juneau, Alaska - A dramatic video of a sea plane just missing a surfacing humpback whale as it came in to land in Alaska has become a hit online, and the man who shot it says it was blind luck.
Thomas Hamm, a San Diego businessman, was in the remote village of Angoon, about 100km south-west of Juneau, last week when he recorded the footage with his cellphone.
In the video, the aircraft descends on a shallow run and is about to land in a seemingly calm bay, but then pulls up abruptly as the surfacing whale blows a geyser of spray up over the plane's windshield.
"The guy I was with on the dock looked at me and said, 'Tell me you got that?'," Hamm said.
"I played it back and there was the plane and the whale... These guys who fly in Alaska, let me tell you, they are good."
The clip, posted by Hamm on YouTube under the title "Whale v. Pontoon Plane", has received more than 170 000 views in less than a week. - Reuters

I'm Undead and I Vote
Having spent the last weeks of her life trying to put a sexy senator into the White House, she redoubles her efforts afterwards. In such a close election, she knows that even a small downtrodden minority can make all the difference—and what minority is trodden down further than her fellow undead (by about six feet, usually). Soon she has an issue she can really sink her teeth into—namely, leading the (pardon the expression!) crusade to organize this much-despised demographic into a powerful voting bloc. And along the way, she meets with the battiest bunch of vampires, vampire slayers and vote seekers this side of Terry Pratchett. They include— --George Zagorsky, her vampire sire, who asks himself, in almost every crisis, "What would Bela Lugosi do?" --Tim Johnson, a male model, who finds new career opportunities in posing for the covers of erotic romantic vampire novels—with the strict understanding that he can only work at night --a crazy crew of self-chosen Vampire Slayers, hastily formed from the disaffected faction of the Jefferson Davis High School PTA --and, as always, in any presidential election year, the TV pundits, who are eager to tell the public how much the Vampire Vote will really count. --But above all, there is Tiffany's hero, the presidential candidate, Felix O'Neill. He rewards her efforts by inviting her into his bed—where they really do make things go bump in the night.

Tangled Chase intrigues Bowyer heading to Talladega
Auto Racing Videos
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It doesn't take long to thin the field of championship contenders in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and some believe it has already been reduced to a three-driver race.
Clint Bowyer begs to differ.
Bowyer has had a pretty nice start to the Chase, finishing inside the top 10 in all three races. But it's not been enough in the points standings, where he is seemingly spinning his tires despite decent finishes. He is fourth in the standings, 25 points behind leader Brad Keselowski, but certain he's still in the title race. Why? Because Round 4 of the Chase is at Talladega Superspeedway, where Bowyer is the two-time defending race winner.
"This weekend is everything," Bowyer said Monday. "Talladega is the one that's going to make the difference."
Everybody considers Talladega the wild card of the 10-race Chase because the smallest mistake in a restrictor plate race can have devastating consequences.
Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson knows that all too well — he's yet to finish a plate race this season through no fault of his own. Johnson was collected in an accident on the second lap of the Daytona 500, suffered an engine failure at Talladega in the spring and was in yet another accident in July at Daytona.
Most title contenders worry the championship can be lost at Talladega because of another driver's error. Bowyer believes that's going to work to his advantage, especially with everyone assuming only Keselowski, Johnson and Denny Hamlin are left as viable title contenders.
"I'm going in there with the confidence of knowing I've won the last two, and I am a guy who needs a good run to get myself back in the championship," he said.
Only 17 points separate Bowyer from Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr., who is eighth in points. Wedged between the MWR drivers is three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and five-time Talladega winner Dale Earnhardt Jr.
