Night Thing
John Brodeur
Lights, Nov. 10
is the most packed-in Ive ever seen any club in my life,
Chris Cornell told his faithful Saturday night. He was surely
bullshitting, but it was a nice enough gesture, though all
he really needed to do to win over the sold-out Northern Lights
audience was open his mouth and let out one of those rafter-rattling
And the former Soundgarden and Audioslave vocalist did exactly
that, often, from the opening salvo of Let Me Drown (from
1994s Superunknown) to the lengthy show-closing excursion
through the classic Badmotorfinger dirge Slaves and
Bulldozerswhich morphed, by the way, into Whole Lotta Love.
(If you thought Cornell would do a killer Robert Plant, you
thought right). Flanked by a four-piece band that brought
energy and chops to his wide and varied catalog, Cornell really
didnt have to do any heavy lifting, as one concertgoer
put itthe only time he went near a guitar was for a six-song
solo setand half the time he didnt even need to sing.
(The thousand-or-so dudes singing Outshined didnt sound
half bad, actually.)
Cornell did not disappoint on Saturday, even if he didnt
quite reach for that ridiculous high note on Jesus Christ
Pose. (He did, however, assume said pose during Show Me
How to Live.) Despite looking a mite disheveled, his hair
blown-out into an exaggerated bedhead, the 43-year-old Cornell
seemed reenergized by his new group; he strode about the stage,
shook hands with audience members, even lost his shirttwice.
The set included tunes from all phases of his great career,
including Cant Change Me from his 1999 solo debut Euphoria
Morning, no less than three from the Temple of the Dog
project, and a handful from this years solo follow-up, Carry
On. All of it was brought to fruit by Cornells inimitable
voice, one of the very best of the rock era.
And the band, bunch of hired guns that they were, were just
as capable as, if not more than, anyone whos lined up behind
Cornell thus far. This deserves mention because, until Saturday
night, I hated pretty much everything Audioslave put out after
their first album. Now I know why: That band, Cornell plus
the three non-de la Rocha members of Rage Against the Machine,
were a tight band for sure, but they lacked finesse. This
group, featuring guitarists Yogi Lonich and Peter Thorn, plus
the fantastic Sutter, were elastic, whether raging away like
a bunch of pissed-off punks on Ty Cobb (the sole selection
from Soundgardens final disc) or just stepping out of the
way for Cornell to shine on Sunshower. Tom Morello and company
surely couldnt hang with the old-school Seattle style of
Pushin Forward Back, but these cats got deep into the spirit
of the (Pearl) jam, and it was excellent.
Not to mention that the Audioslave tunes, especially the Zeppelicious
groove of Cochise, were given enough breathing room to actually
sound funa nice change of pace from that groups formulaic
drone. Even the moody rendition of Jackos Billie Jean had
a mighty pulse. Best club show of the year? Check.

Blue Ribbon Boys with Julia Gottlieb, Shotgun
Helsinki, Great Barrington, Mass., Nov. 9
Local heroes the Blue Ribbon Boys with Julia Gottlieb took
the mothership on a trip in the wayback machine Friday night,
celebrating the release of their new eponymous CD. Which is
a big fat party to start with, but they also dragged Austin
swingsters Shotgun Party in for the ride. This was an audacious,
luxurious night of music.
The Blue Ribbon Boys genius lies in their complete embrace
of early swing music, without a smidgen of pretense, irony,
or any of the rootie-tootie whoop-de-do that old-timey bands
too often use to sell their shtick. Theres no shtick here,
just folks effortlessly playing hipster music of a couple
of generations ago, straight up.
Songs range from nuggets from the 30s and 40s, spectacular
dead-on originals (bassist Sauerkraut Seth Travins has written
a bunch of tunes that capture the gestalt of the era, like
the sublime Mr. Man on the Moon) and a handful of oddball
contemporary covers that they manage to morph into their sepia-toned
world. Their takes of Daniel Johnstons Its Impossible
and Kurt Cobains Heart Shaped Box sound like they just
rolled off the Victrola. And thats just ridiculous.
The band were restrained and forceful at the same time, with
colors provided by Matt Downings tenor guitar, Teddy Webers
lap steel, the sweet fiddle of Lucas Swartz, and the utterly
subversive clarinet playing of Lyon Kraulty.
Vocalist Julia Gottlieb is the glue that holds it all together.
Gottlieb is a masterful singer, with a laconic, sultry delivery
that smiles at you sensuously through the smoke. Im sure
she could sing a wicked bossa nova, too, except in the parallel
universe of the Blue Ribbon Boys, the style hasnt been invented
yet. Maybe theyll invent it.
Unheralded opening trio Shotgun Party blew the house away
with a set of Texas swing that had one foot among the tumbleweeds
and the other in outer space. Singer Jenny Parrot has an arresting,
brassy voice with a permanent, fluttering vibrato, and a stage
presence that was just art-school enough to let you know somebody
up theres a-thinkin. Kind of like a two-step Björk, without
the annoyance factor. Fiddler Kay Rose Cox gets virtuoso honors
for the night; her solos were hair-raising, heroic statements.
Shotgun Party will be back, and when they are, go.

Richmond Police arrested 21-year-old Jordan C. Story Saturday for assaulting a police officer following a disturbance at Jerzees bar.
Police say officer's patrolling the area saw a fight in front of the bar shortly after 1:30am. Officers say one of the people involved in the fight was observed to be Story. When officers intervened, and attempted to arrest Story, they say he took off running. An officer chased him down. That's when they say Story resisted arrest and assaulted the officer by attempting to put him in a headlock, forcing the officer to the ground. Other responding officers arrived and were able to gain control of Story. Police say the officer involved in the original incident received minor cuts to his elbows and his glasses were broken in the incident. Police say Story was treated on scene by EMS for minor injuries he had received in the earlier fight at Jerzees.
Story was taken to the Madison County Jail and charged with disorderly conduct, fleeing or evading police, assault, alcohol intoxication, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief.

File this under: "reasons why the alumni office should clear everything with the PR department."
Yesterday, somebody at Columbia Law School sent out an email to recent alumni asking for a $1,000 donation (or twelve $85 monthly installments) to help current law students. No, Columbia isn't setting up another scholarship fund for public interest fellows. CLS isn't even trying to make direct cash transfers to unemployed graduates in exchange for their silence. Instead, Columbia wants $1,000 from alumni to help offset the cost of the "early interview program" during which Columbia rising 2Ls interview with Biglaw firms and snag offers for jobs.
Do you think Columbia culled its alumni list to make sure that only graduates who were also working in Biglaw were even asked to make this kind of questionable donation? Of course they didn't! A bunch of Columbia grads who aren't working in Biglaw were asked to… wait, let me get this language exactly right:
"Give a student the chance at a dream job."
Hilarity ensues….
The reaction to this ad from the Columbia alumni we've heard from has been furious. Here it is, in pertinent part (check out the full ad on the next page):
I think the part I love most is all the other things that Columbia suggests you can waste your $85 on, instead of giving to the morally superior cause of helping Columbia pay for hotel rooms.
Columbia's own law graduates have been savaging the school:
The real pathos, of course, is that Columbia thinks its alumni should give up martinis and manicures to help people land $160,000 jobs. (At least according to its somewhat vague 2010 stats, that's a salary that a large percentage of CLS grads still obtain.) I'd much rather spend $85 per month to feed children who really are starving, provide polio vaccinations, treat malaria, buy books for struggling U.S. schools — or even give to public interest law fellowships at a state law school. I already do all of those things, and I'm going to apply another $85 a month (in Columbia's dishonor) to other worthy charities like that.
Is it to help buy snacks for hungry interviewers? Maybe to help underprivileged CLS students buy new suits? But is there even such a thing as an underprivileged CLS student? Even if there was, I think they could scramble together $400 of loan money for a jacket and tie. Weird.
[T]he flyer almost seems like a save the children ad! For just $85 a month you can feed children in Africa, or help a law student get their "dream job" at a big law firm!
A lot of people wondered why Columbia needs any money for the Early Interview Program. They thought firms paid for the hotel rooms when they come to see CLS students. I think those people overestimate the desirability of employing law students in this market. As Professor Paul Campos explains, over at Inside the Law School Scam:
The Early Interview Program is a gigantic four-day cattle call held at a midtown hotel in mid-August, at which hundreds of students do thousands of interviews with big law firms. CLS also offers a more conventional OCI program at the school itself, running from mid-September to mid-November, but I get the impression from the school's web site that this pre-semester meet market is the "main" OCI event (CLS students or alums are encouraged to elaborate in comments)…
Moving this thing off campus — I understand NYU does something similar — costs the school (aka its students) a huge pile. Columbia has close to 1000 2Ls and 3Ls, and apparently it's common for people to do 15 or 20 interviews, or more, so the school must have to rent a good part of a midtown hotel for four days at the height of tourist season. And for what? So that midtown firms don't have to board the Nellie and head upriver to Morningside Heights? So that CLS professors — most of whom are nowhere near the law school in mid-August — don't have to open a few of their inner sanctums to contaminating incursions from the servants of Capital?
Preach on, brother Campos.
And let's not forget that all of this "early interviewing" is in response to recessionary pressures and the inability of law schools and law firms to come up with a reasonable system. During the recession, some schools felt like all of the summer associate positions were being "taken up" by schools that started on-campus interviewing over the summer instead of waiting for the fall. So Columbia and others started moving up their programs to compete (kind of like how states have tried to move their primary dates ahead of Iowa and New Hampshire, resulting in the entire election calendar getting pushed up).
There's no evidence that going "first" actually helps students get Biglaw jobs, but when was the last time a law school needed evidence before asking for more money?
We reached out to Columbia Law and asked them why they made this solicitation. Here's the heart of their statement:
EIP is just one of many programs that helps students in their search for employment. While the majority of employers are from the private sector, we also host government agencies and not-for-profits at EIP and throughout the year.
While most of the direct cost of the hotel used for EIP is absorbed by the organizations that attend, the main cost to the school for these interviews include full-time counseling staff that prepare our students for EIP, OCI, and other parts of the job search. Our dedicated staff in both Career Services and Social Justice Initiatives spend many hours on programming that helps students prep for interviews, on inviting firms and organizations to attend, and on facilitating the scheduling of interviews.
You can see the complete Columbia statement on the page after the full ad.
Of course, if you want to give to this initiative, it's your prerogative. I'm not sure that giving money to your law school so it can do this is demonstrably worse than giving money so the school can build new housing for professors or raise a dean's salary into the mid six figures.
Check out the full ad on the next page. The school really makes it sound like giving a Columbia Law student access to a Biglaw job is like giving a Haitian earthquake survivor access to clean water.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- During National Nurses Week this year, Palmyra Medical Center wanted to do something to show appreciation to their fellow man.
The nurses at the hospital sponsored a facility-wide fundraiser to support the Wounded Warrior Project by providing needed clothing and other items to Marines who sustained injuries in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sue Blackburn, a nurse in Palmyra's rehab center and the mother of a wounded soldier, initiated the challenge. She contacted Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany and was given contact information for the Marine liaison at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. From there, she was provided a list of articles wounded Marines might appreciate receiving.
"We wanted to do something to support the community," she said. "Seeing as how there is a Marine Corps Logistics Base here, we thought we might want to reach out to the warrior.
"If you have visited the soldiers (that have been wounded), you know you're talking about catastrophic injuries."
Blackburn's son spent a year at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., after suffering injuries in Somalia.
"I can relate to what these families are going through," she said. "I know very well what these kids go through.
"It's terrifying as a parent not knowing what's going on; it's extremely difficult for families at home."
Throughout Nurses Week, which ran from May 6-12, and into National Hospital Week, May 9-15, the hospital's nurses set up collection stations. Monetary as well as clothing donations were received, but because sending money to a particular location is not permitted, Blackburn used those funds to purchase some needed items.
The results turned up athletic shorts, Marine shirts, T-shirts, socks, cameras and telephone cards for 20 Marines. Palmyra is also contributing a large towel for each Marine.
"I am certainly proud of the commitment they make," Blackburn said. "They are very appreciative when they get these packages in the mail. They love it."
A total of $1,000 worth of donations was collected. The boxes will be sent out to Bethesda Naval Hospital later this week.
"When she (Blackburn) came up with the idea, it was an awesome thing to see," said Lawanda Cochran, a nurse and clinical manager at Palmyra. "When we see the stories of wounded soldiers, it is very touching."
The Wounded Warrior Project's headquarters is in Jacksonville, Fla. It is a non-profit organization that provides tangible support for severely wounded soldiers and helps them on the road to recovery. In the fiscal year that ended in September 2008, 82 cents of every dollar raised went directly to services and programs.
For more information on the project, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

This photo provided by Goodwill Industries in Buffalo, N.Y., shows Pvt. James Roland and the Purple Heart medal he earned serving in World War II. The medal was found in June by Goodwill employee Richard Zuehlke while he was unpacking donations. (AP)
- Filed Under
WESTOVER, PA. — A Purple Heart medal found at a Goodwill store in New York has made it back to western Pennsylvania, where the recipient is buried and his family still lives.
WJAC-TV reports that Goodwill employee Richard Zuehlke found the medal while sorting through boxes, and the agency posted news about the find online. The Patriot Guard Riders heard about the medal and arranged to return it to the family of James Roland, a soldier killed in Italy in 1944.
Roland is buried at Westover Baptist Church in Clearfield County, and a relative of his, Mary Roland-Struble, was there to receive it Saturday.
She says, They dont just give the Purple Heart to anybody. You have to do something extraordinary and he did, he gave his life for his country.

Hello all, we are 2 burning man virgins travelling from the Uk this year new to BM although my Sister travelled from the Uk 5 years ago and met her (now husband) there! After many years deliberating cost/logistics my partner and I decided to make it a reality and got our tickets for this year.
We plan to fly to SF where we will stay for a couple of days, then drive to BM. We were originally planning of camping on our own. We have arranged everything we can this end, including buying bikes in Reno - but its so difficult as we are so limited in what we can bring with us from the UK. We are only going to have a couple of days in SF in which to buy EVERYTHING we are going to need and im panicking! I know its doable and people do it every year and I like to think of myself as a pretty organised person......but....AAARGGGHHHH! Any other Uk/other based burners got any good tips advice for us? What to bring/buy in states etc?
Thankyou in advance Mik & Pablo x

The Ecumenical Council of the Wiregrass will hold its first annual Partners Meeting at 6:30 pm, Tuesday, August 24, at Evergreen Presbyterian Church, 1103 N. Pontiac Avenue.
The Ecumenical Council is an interfaith group formed to address the root causes of poverty in our community.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan (94) runs a drill during the Saints NFL training camp Thursday.
- Filed Under
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. - - Cam Jordan is bitter after last season's playoff loss to Seattle. But that, he says, isn't what drives him.
No, what drives the Saints defensive lineman is his selfless desire to be the best.
"I just don't want to get better for myself, I want to get better for my teammates," he said. ...

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Josh Harrison provided a spark both offensively and defensively to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a three-game set on Friday.
The game was scoreless until the eighth when the Reds broke the stalemate on Devin Mesoraco's RBI single.
Pinch-hitter Andrew Lambo, who was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day, singled with one out in the home eighth off Jonathan Broxton (4- 2). Lambo scampered home on Harrison's triple off the right-field wall, then Jose Tabata followed with a chopper through the hole on the left side that plated Harrison for a 2-1 lead.
Tony Watson (10-1) recorded one out in the eighth for the win before Mark Melancon came on in the ninth and worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 25th save of the season.
Pittsburgh has won three straight and six of its last eight.
Edinson Volquez, who carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, was on the hook for the loss until his offense finally got going. Volquez allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six in 7 2/3 innings.
"I was really serious tonight," said Volquez, who spent four seasons with the Reds. "I wasn't looking over to their dugout. Sometimes I get too relaxed playing those guys."
Volquez's no-hit bid wouldn't have gotten past the fourth if it wasn't for Harrison, who made a sprawling stop to his left on Todd Frazier's grounder for the first out of the inning. Brandon Phillips proceeded to line out and Mesoraco grounded out to end the frame.
Billy Hamilton worked a walk with one out in the sixth, just Cincinnati's third baserunner of the night, stole second and advanced on a throwing error by Russell Martin. Frazier struck out on the next pitch and Phillips ripped a liner right into the waiting glove of Harrison as Volquez kept the no-hitter intact.
"Harrison is the MVP," Volquez said.
When asked if he thought Harrison was the team MVP or league MVP, Volquez responded, "The league."
Harrison lined a ground-rule double just inside the left-field line with two outs in the home sixth and Tabata followed with an infield single. Cincinnati starter Mike Leake worked out of trouble, however, getting Andrew McCutchen to pop out to end the inning.
Leake kept the Pirates off the board through seven solid innings, yielding just six hits with a strikeout and no walks.
Mesoraco ended the no-hitter in the following inning with a leadoff single through the shift on the left side. One hit must have been all the Reds needed because Jay Bruce followed with a single off the glove of second baseman Neil Walker.
Harrison figured to keep the game scoreless, though. Kris Negron's first attempt to move the runners over with a bunt went foul, then Volquez broke off a curveball that crossed for a strike. Negron sent a hard grounder down the third-base line, where Harrison made a diving stop, tagged third with his throwing hand and fired over to first for the 5-3 double play.
"We had two pitchers there who were locked in," said Reds manager Bryan Price of Volquez and Leake. "(Mesoraco) had that big hit, but we weren't able to hold it."
With Hamilton on second in the eighth, Volquez plunked Phillips which ended his night. Watson entered and Mesoraco poked a single out to left that scored Hamilton for the game's first run.
An error by Starling Marte in left on the play allowed Phillips to try for home, but once again Harrison had other ideas. Marte got to the loose ball, short-hopped shortstop Jordy Mercer as the ball rolled away toward third base, where Harrison alertly gathered and threw Phillips out at the plate to keep it a one-run game.
The Pirates announced on Friday that starter Gerrit Cole was optioned
to Single-A Bristol while infielder/outfielder Lambo was recalled from Indy
... The last no-hitter in Pittsburgh history was a combined 10-inning no-no on
July 12, 1997 by Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon. John Candelaria tossed
a no-hitter on Aug. 9, 1976 in a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers ... The
Pirates have thrown six no-hitters in their franchise history ... Volquez
hasn't lost a decision since July 21 ... Hamilton stole two bases to give him
53 on the year ... The Reds had their two-game winning streak snapped.

Nederburg Auction
A premier event on Cape Town's wine calendar, the Nederburg Auction is an industry platform created to showcase the spectrum of award-winning wines and rare Cape finds crafted by the country's most talented winemakers. Since its inception in 1975 this event has evolved into an international event where major local and overseas wine buyers bid for a stringently selected range of the country's finest, most exclusive wines. Recognized as one of the world's five major wine auctions, the Nederburg Auction offers quality, fine wines that are often only available in limited quantities and not on the open market.
Lots are structured to afford buyers the flexibility of purchasing according to their individual volume requirements. The event has a threefold purpose: to encourage greater wine standards; to develop an awareness of South African wine and to ensure fair distribution of fine, rare wines. All wines selected have earned the Auction's Seal of Approval, which is affixed to each bottle as a mark of quality and authenticity. This golden seal is an endorsement and a reassurance for both trade and consumers that these wines represent the pinnacle of rare, properly matured, fine South African wines.
40th Nederburg Auction is taking place on the 12th and 13th of September 2014 at the Nederburg Winery in Paarl.

Brucini started seriously travelling after attempting to move to Queenstown, New Zealand, in 1996.Inspired by drunkenly meeting a world of travelers on a Kiwi Experience bus, he changed his plans and roamed the world for a year. ...Find out more!
There's plenty advice around about what are the best or not to be missed things to do in Australia. Avoiding the lowlights is equally important. Here's some helpful hints to avoid some pitfalls of otherwise great destinations, activities and attractions in Australia.
1. Catching a Greyhound bus from Adelaide to Alice Springs or Alice Springs to Darwin
It takes 19 hours and 30minutes to travel from Adelaide to Alice Springs. If you've ever sat on a bus for more than an hour you'll know it's not the most exciting experience. Sure it's cheaper than taking a flight, train or a multi-day guided tour. It's what you are missing that's important to realise - the Flinders Ranges, Coober Pedy, great outback experiences. It takes 21 hours and 30 minutes to travel from Alice Springs to Darwin and costs AU$313. That's almost as long as it takes to fly from Europe to Australia! You'd be better off taking a 3 day / 2 night guided tour with meals and accommodation for AU$425. That way you'll actually see something and not feel more or less jet-lagged when you reach your destination.
2. Going to the Gold Coast during 'Schoolies' week
'Schoolies Week' is a week dedicated to the celebration of the end of high school for final year students. No more school ever = a big celebration. Traditionally, it has focused on Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Queensland). If thousands of hormone-engorged and over-excited teenagers packed onto the beaches, malls and streets of the area isn't your idea of a holiday then avoid the place as well. If it is your thing, that's why there's an Australian way of describing you too - "toolie".
Weeks to avoid: 2008 - Saturday 22nd of November to Sunday 30th. 2009 - Saturday 21st of November to Sunday 29th.
3. Buying a cheap, poor quality second hand car / camper van
Independently minded travellers in Australia love the freedom of having their own car or campervan. There's a thriving market for these secondhand vehicles invariably sold between backpackers who have driven literally thousands of kilometres. For many, buying a vehicle to travel in will be the first vehicle they've ever bought. The excitement of an adventure can override common sense and this means you will waste money. Don't compromise on mechanical checks; ongoing cost-planning (fuel, camping equipment and charges); allowing time to sell your vehicle at the end of your trip; keeping money aside for 4WD trips and other specialist experiences for where your car/van can't take you.
4. Climbing Uluru (Ayers Rock)
If you have time, everyone visiting Australia should visit Uluru. 1 in 2 visors to Uluru choose to climb it. It's the case that when you get there no-one will physically stop you climbing nor will anything bad happen to you if you do (although 35 people have died on it in the last 20 years, not to mention less-fatal injuries). It seems contradictory, however, to come so far to see and better understand something and then disrespect the traditional Anangu owners of Uluru who understand the place better than anyone. Your understanding will not be enhanced by the climb more than walking around it or buying an aerial view on a postcard.
5. Doing a Self-Drive 4WD trip on Fraser Island with an in-experienced driver
Fraser Island is one of the most popular places to travel to on the East Coast of Australia. The most common way backpackers see the Island is by joing other backpackers to make up a self-drive group. Strangers (up to 9 people) are kitted out with vehicle, camping gear and popular itineraries and maps to see the Island's highlights. If you have a drivers license and are old enough you will probably get a chance to drive everyone. If you have a competent, safety-minded driver this is all well and good. You are dependent on the driver managing unusual conditions (sand) and other travellers not to be distracting or encouraging of risk taking behaviour. Accidents can happen to anyone, but they are increased by in-experienced driving or poor decision making in uncommon conditions. If you don't think you can assert yourself in groups when you don't feel safe, wish the driver to slow down or can't agree with group decision making then this might not be the way to travel for you. At the very least, choose your travelling companions wisely.
Australia is a great places and there is so much to do - avoid a few of the above and your trip can be even more memorable!

Chairman's Selections offer affordable tastes
Here's a tip for Western Pennsylvania wine enthusiasts: When the Steelers play a home game on a Sunday afternoon, call the old dipsy-doodle play. Cut back against the grain by making a trip to your nearest Premium Collection store during game time.
You'll avoid the crowds that normally swarm the ever-popular Chairman's Selection wines stacked in the front of the store. The deserted aisles during game time allow unhurried, thorough consideration. Plus, after grabbing some great bottles, Black and Gold fans can always catch the end of the game on television while enjoying a glass, or two … or three of tasty vino.
Kudos to PLCB Chairman's Selection buyer Steve Pollack for delivering the following terrific bottles suggested for your pleasure:
2011 Niedermayr Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige, Italy (Luxury 33022; Chairman's Selection, on sale: $12.99): While Alto Adige may technically be Italy's northern-most jurisdiction, it carries a second official name — Süd Tyrol. Austria lies just to the north and has traditionally exerted a strong Germanic influence in the region.
This lovely wine reflects the region's dual cultural personality. The grape used — pinot grigio — could not be more "Italian." Italian pinot grigios — many of them insipid, industrially produced bland white wines — now flood the American market. But pinot grigio need not be horrid. When lavished with care in the vineyard and treated deftly in the winery, the grape can produce terrific results.
Alto Adige's limestone soils and sunny hillside vineyards create the opportunity to harvest exquisite fruit. Many of Alto Adige's Germanic named winegrowers, such as Josef Niedermayr, take full advantage, and the hard work shows in this bottle.
Fermentation in stainless-steel tanks highlight the fruit's fetching citrus, apple and pear aromas. In the glass, creamy pear and apple flavors emerge balanced by bracing acidity through the dry, well-balanced finish. Pair it with either lightly pan-seared scallops with a cream and leek sauce or oysters on the half shell. Highly recommended.
2008 Domaine de Nizas Languedoc Rouge, France (Luxury 32656; Chairman's Selection, on sale: $11.99): Domaine de Nizas resides near Pézenas, a town with ancient origins at the heart of southern France's vast Languedoc winegrowing region. The estate's owner, John Goelet, gained fame in America by founding Napa Valley's esteemed Clos du Val winery in 1972. He purchased the Languedoc estate in 1998.
Pézenas' surrounding terroir features a complex mix of limestone, basalt and gravels mixed with clay. Combined with the classic Mediterranean climate of brilliantly sunny, hot days and relatively cool nights, the region ripens syrah, mourvèdre and grenache grapes with intense, complex aromas and lush fruit. Yet, with controlled yields, the fruit maintains bountiful acidity for intriguing, fresh balance.
Goelet wines emphasize finesse and elegance, as shown in this lovely bottle. Its initial dark-fruit aromas evolve with meaty, smoky notes and pleasant accents of thyme and lavender. Delicious black-fruit flavors follow with meaty, earthy notes balanced by refreshing, stony mineral flavors. Try it with roasted lamb with garlic and rosemary. Highly recommended.
2010 Qupé Syrah, Central Coast, California (Luxury 33015; Chairman's Selection, on sale: $12.99): As a pioneer of making Rhône variety wines in relatively cool climates along California's Central Coast, Qupé's owner Bob Lundquist holds a special affection for syrah, the king of northern Rhône wines. His single-vineyard bottling from sites in the Edna Valley and Santa Maria Valley attract cult followings and command hefty prices.
This tasty bottle, however, blends fruit from throughout the Central Coast. It provides an affordable and authentic taste of the pure flavors and confident, understated style of Qupé's (pronounced Qew-pay ) upper echelon wines.
The wine's dark-fruit and peppery aromas have accents of smoked meat and leather. Delicious, textbook syrah flavors with brooding black fruit balance with fresh acidity and elegant, smooth tannins. The fruity, yet well-balanced, dry finish lingers pleasantly. Pair with grilled rib-eye steak.Highly recommended.

Here's what Louisville is talking about online today:People act like what?
Leave it to people on social media to give us their opinions on things (this must be something new, I don't remember the internet being so edgy... *sarcasm*). One of the big trends in Louisville Monday morning was the hashtag #NowadaysPeopleActLike (which I am predicting will be a precursor to the next big trending topic, #GetOffMyLawnYouKids).

I'm not to fond of the director but it can, if done well, be an entertaining movie. On the topic, I'm sooo glad that I purchased the Game Boy version from the eShop. It's one of the best ways to play Tetris IMO. I'd recommend a purchase but I believe it was removed from the eShop earlier this year

Why no US release? At least digital release for the sake of not investing in a physical format. I want this game!
I'm not sure what brought Mii to this site but I'm glad to be a daily reader and to be a part of a great community. YOU ROCK NL!!! Cheers to everyone in the community and a special thanks to all that have contributed to the site over these pass 10 years! Let's keep gaming!
@Angelic_Lapras_King True. If it weren't for my kids breaking my 3DS XL in half, then I wouldn't have purchased the "new" XL model. But on a positive, I always play my 3DS with the 3D all the way up so the steadiness of the "new" model is truly appreciated. Also, RE Revelations is a joy to play on the new model. Great for Halloween
@Blue_Blur I never knew of this technique! Although I did purchase from day one, I didn't really get into it till the 2nd pack came out. I was still playing MK7 since that's all my friends had. But slowly but surely they've been playing more MK8 so I've finally made the full transition myself. I'll have to try this tonight! Thanks again @Blue_Blur!
@Blue_Blur What is flame-hopping?
My go-to game any day of the week so obviously it's my favorite Wii U game and also my favorite in the series! Look for Mii online daily!
I've always liked the Mario Kart series, but it wasn't until MK DS came out that I fell in love with the series. I'd gather five friends and play six player for months. I tried the online component but it was the first Nintendo on line game so the experience was a bit flat. Played MK Wii for a little bit but despised the 12 racers. MK7 and MK8 have to be the best in the series but if I had to choose one it would be the latter as it is the pinnacle of Mario Kart racers! So much fun that who knows when I'll stop playing. Looking for more friends if interested...see you on the track
Awesome for you!!! I think that's where the trouble was! Unfortunately for Mii, I was so frustrated yesterday that I ended up formatting the system memory on my N3DS to see what it would do (idiot idea!). So now, I re-entered my NNID on my N3DS and reformatted (erased) my micro SD card. I tried to drag both "Nintendo 3DS" and "DCIM" folders onto the formatted micro SD card and connect it to the N3DS but no luck . I can access my photos but no save files nor Mii's or StreetPasses in tact!! Now, I'm reformatting the micro SD card and I'm only going to drag the "DCIM" file with the hopes of when I re download all my games, all the save states will be in tact. Crossing my fingers!!!
@Bizzyb said: "Did you make sure to replace the "3DS Folder" Completely with your old 3DS folder? If you place the old folder "inside" the new folder it won't work. You have to replace the entire folder."
I think that's where I made my mistake. Now, I'm reformatting the SD card and doing the "Re-download everything with saves erased" option after talking to a Nintendo rep. I tried to explain that the game files were in the micro SD card but I could not open them on my N3DS. I thought maybe it had to do with my music files so I erased them all. Then I started clicking through the folders and did see that when I clicked open my "Nintendo 3DS" file, there was another file with the same name in it. I know the guide here stated to just drag the files from the desktop to the micro SD card but I don't recall if there was any indicator of erasing the folder "Nintendo 3DS" from the micro SD card that you remove after system transfer is complete through the systems. Oh well, my SD card is halfway through the formatting. Let's see what I can do to retrieve my precious little games back. Because it is all about the games. Without the games, it's just a shiny new cool looking machine #vita
Super infuriated!!! Followed everything here step by step (beverage included) and could not get any game to show up on my menu!!! All the folders were in tact but no game could be found. When I'd go to system menu and look up software info, there were no games to be found. Strangely, there was a 32 GB SD card plugged in and the memory space that it should be taking up was there, but no games!!!!!!!!!!
Any help
@ThomasBW84 @sinalefa Too funny!
I'm in! Just finished my second race!
"The tournament will have a limit of 32 races per player, which is a few hours of racing, so it won't be entirely a case of the winner being whoever hangs around the longest."
This is great news!! Since I've yet to set up a tournament (community), I never knew that you could make a limit on the number of races people can play. This works for me as I used to loathe playing catch up when joining a community late in Mario Kart 7. Now, the probabity of winning will come down to how strong the group is that you're playing against. There could be a chance that an excellent racer will be in a room of subpar racers and gain massive points while in another it can be all tough racers with players rotating first place. Still, it's a major improvement!
For those who want to compete against me, I'll join around 4:30PM Pacific (12:30AM UK) and will race until my 32 races are up. I'm not going to say I'm the best at Mario Kart but I am super competitive! See you all tomorrow
I'm tempted to join but I have this little tradition going since MKDS. I like to get all 3 gold stars on all classes/cups before jumping on line. If I can manage to accomplish before the tourney ends, I'll join
@Guovssohas You did! But only for two sets of races.
@Guovssohas Same here! You're an excellent racer!
I couldn't get in for a while! Phew!! Almost had a panic attack. Lol. Now for more fun!
Had to take a 45 min break. But now I'm back
Joy!! In the words of Reggie,"my body is ready."
Also, since I know I asked this last time and you guys said it was okay, I took the liberty of making announcements on my Miiverse account about this. The more racers, the more fun IMO. We Should all make the announcement on all of our Miiverse/Facebook/Twitter account/s!
We NintendoLife-ers love to rant about games we don't have on our Nintendo systems. Personally, I don't get all the fuzz about this game. All I've seen and heard was that it was a game that grew inspiration from the original Legend of Zelda for the NES with a dark plot. If that's the case, I'd rather just play Zelda
@stupidpupil I used to have the same problem but just got used to it. More so with my 3DS but not so much with my 3DS XL.
Thanks NL! I love playing MK7 with everyone here and look forward to racing with the community once again
@Blast Nothing odd about that. It's a great game. Period. Whether one wants to enjoy the game solo or with multiplayer just know that it will be good fun. I have had the pleasure of enjoying this game with all 1,2,3, and 4 player action. And depending on who plays with you, the experience is always going to be different every time. That's the beauty of this game.
I like to think of SM3DW as the 2013 Super Mario version of TMNT: Turtles in Time the arcade game. To me, it's the same game with the added character abilities. With a whole lot of more levels of course
It's anyone's guess what "new business area apart from (their) video game business" Nintendo will venture into but only time will tell if it'll improve my QOL.
Hope/Prediction: Since health is the first theme they are venturing into, I'd personally would like to see sort of pedometer like the ones used on Wii Fit U that tracks daily activity, heart rate, and have SpotPass that compares your daily activities with others with ease. You can have it sync to 3DS or Wii U via NFC on GamePad. Something along those lines would be cool.
On 9/9/11, I wrote a little Blog for IGN in regards to my thoughts on the 3DS and concluded with:
"I've come to recently realize that this little system covers many of my favorite home console and portable games of all times; in portable form! It's a great feeling to know that you can play the original Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time all in one system! Pretty much, the 3DS is my golden age of gaming all in the palm of my hand! So it is with great surprise that I'm proud to say that the 3DS is my favorite Nintendo system of all time!"
Happy (3DS)rd Birthday to my favorite system of all time.
@ThomasBW84 LOL! I'd probably do the same. In fact, I worry more about not having my 3DS with me than my mobile phone
Sonic the Hedgehog was THE system seller for Sega. And although Nintendo pulled out the big guns with F-Zero, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to push the system, it was Street Fighter II that arguably became the system seller.
That's my memory of the console wars. Hopefully the movie will be entertaining.
@unrandomsam I, too, enjoyed Wario Ware Touched! My comment was directed at the younger gamers that only play games on a touch screen. I should edit my comment to say: "What fun can come from JUST tapping and sliding? NOT MUCH IMO." There are simple games that benefit from touch screen controls. But I'm old and I am biased towards traditional (joystick and buttons) controls. Just like Cranky
Anything to get these young "Whippersnappers'" attention and lure them into quality gaming! Not just tapping and sliding gestures at a screen. What fun and skill can come from tapping and sliding? None IMO.
(Gosh, now I'm starting to sound like Cranky )
I was thinking to myself how it would be possible to score that low and noticed that there was a video ...
The thing that impresses me is the timing at the end of level. Impressive!
Since I never purchased DKCR for the Wii originally, I decided to pick up the 3DS version last year and was quite pleased. But since I played it less than a year ago, I'm not quite in the mood to purchase this one right away. I'm still having a blast with SM3DW! If the magic of 3D World ends before the release of MK8, then perhaps I'll make the purchase. Otherwise, no new games until MK8 (just 99 more days from today)!
Probably the coolest Power Wheel (Ride-on) in the world
To say that I'm hyped is an understatement. I'm already counting the days!
Something that would be nice (like the big number of character selection) to see, but most likely won't happen, is to attempt to have more than 32 courses! Go for 40+!
@BAGBOY said," I really hope nintendo doesn't make the same mistake here because mario kart 7 was the breath of fresh air the series needed so much after the wii installment, I really hope it plays like it."
Completely agree! And I have a great feeling that it is going to play like it! With the added anti gravity courses of course! Along with the coins that are sooo underestimated in MK7!
Since MK DS, I've usually just stuck with one player, one cart combo and never change. I picked R.O.B. in MK DS. Koopa Troopa on Wii. Lakitu on MK7. So, wonder who I'll choose this time around? It's looking like they're going for a huge roster and I'm all for it!
These are not bad choices. The bad thing is I already own all these titles
I saw my nephews playing this game constantly on their iPad that it drew my attention and made me want to have a try. My thoughts: there's only one control command in the game that makes it an easy game to get into. But the control is horrible at best which makes for constant failure in the game. Since it looks easy but hard to control, one cannot help but try and try again.
I think that Nintendo goes after companies and individuals that use similar character and control schemes; not background settings.
Potentially another 12-16 weeks before this game releases! I can't wait!
"As we all know, texting behind the wheel isn't a wise move — it has caused countless accidents on roads all over the world, and you should never, ever do it. Ever."
Totally agree! I'd also argue that, specifically, touch screen smartphones are more of the culprit than texting itself. If anyone can think back to 10 years ago, there were no touchscreen phones and the majority were flip phones with the traditional 12 button lay out with digits 0-9 plus * and #. Since there were physical buttons, many people got used to texting without even looking at their screens (utilizing predictive texting). With touchscreen being the majority UI on many phones, it is inevitable to do anything without looking at the screen.
This was a very insightful experiment and one that needs to be studied more. I'd go as far as hypothesizing that touchscreen UI is to blame, not the texting itself. Nonetheless, everyone should avoid multitasking when operating a motor vehicle.
I'm a huge 3DS fan but I can't help to know that it is an isolated experience. That's the beauty of home consoles: although one person can be playing, everyone watching can join in on the fun. This would make my 3DS sessions at home more social. And would also give me bragging rights to show everyone in my household how good I am at MK7
I'm feeling really good about this game! I'm actually glad that they've taken their time with this one. I love MK7 but I do feel that they did rush it to get it out on time for the Holiday season of 2011. This will be an EPIC MARIO KART! I can feel it! 10/10!!!
This game was a huge deal in '98/'99 as it was the first portable edition of an all time classic with extras!
Fifteen years later, there are better portable editions of this game that doesn't make the sacrifice for screen space.
SMB Deluxe: you will be remembered as the first portable Mario Bros. But that's about it : /

Nice interview. Great collection!
Growing up next to an arcade, I was fortunate enough to play about four of the games mentioned above in their original arcade form. Although you would see the majority of these games transferred to the NES, some of the challenge and quality of these games would be lost in transition. I recall in "vs Super Mario Bros.," one would have to reach 300 coins for a 1-up. Plus, the levels were a mix up of hard SMB levels and SMB:The Lost Levels from Japan. In other words, it was a tough game to beat at the arcades.
Great interview again. Arcades: a magical place that the new school cannot relate
Although gaming is as popular as ever, all this reveals to me is that the dedicative gaming systems is a smaller market than it was six years ago. Times have changed drastically and the numbers will not be as they were before. Still, Iwata leaving Nintendo would be counterproductive. He has a lot of knowledge of the industry and his resignation would not benefit Nintendo.
With that said, I can't wait until MK8! Hoping Nintendo has a stellar 2014!
Super Mario 3D World: a great 1P game; a superb multi-player game.
Just grab a couple of friends & family, grab a couple of spirits (or milkshakes for the kiddies), put this game on, and let the good times roll!
This game has been the talk of the holidays amongst my family and friends! A true Nintendo classic
Nice to see a game like this on both eshops. Having read both this review and the Wii U version, the ladder seems to be the most enticing. But for the asking price, one can have both versions without dipping too deep into ones pockets.
I've been a Wii U owner for about three months and my appreciation for the system is growing slowly but surely. After having a 3DS as my only go-to system for a couple of years, I would argue that one didn't need all that power the Wii U, or any other current or next gen system, provides. Plus, there are many game titles that are offered on both systems. Hence, I strongly felt a new system was obsolete. Now, I clearly see what the Wii U brings to the table. As a child of the 80's who'd get lost at local arcades around town, the only way to explain the difference between the 3DS and the Wii U is that the 3DS is like your home console of the 80's & 90's that would provide arcade hits such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat while the Wii U is the equivalent of the arcade cabinet version of those titles: fast, accurate, with responsive tight controls and great visuals.
To conclude, if the same game is offered on both the 3DS and Wii U, know that the 3DS is the home console version in portable format while the Wii U is the ultimate arcade experience in the comfort of your home.
@antdickens As do you, good sir! In fact, all the NL posse does; both staff and readers. So let's all toast tonight for a wonderful year in gaming that the big N brought to us in 2013! Hoping 2014 is as fun!
Cheers everyone!
No one can be the next Nintendo. They were right in saying that they do not want to compete with them. That said, that's great that they're finding success. I don't play games on my phone any longer so I would have never known of this company if it weren't for this article.
I agree with @Einherjar in that this game looks like a training tool for old school NES games. Also, there's huge potential to leverage sales of the classics (this game is advertised next to the classics in the eShop). The concept seems like a brilliant idea but not for the asking price. Hopefully they offer this game at a discounted price soon. Otherwise, I'll pass.

The cast of 'All in the Family' Jean Stapleton, Carroll O'Connor, Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers were like family, Struthers says. / File photo
- Filed Under
Today, we think of All in the Family as one of televisions most iconic shows, hailed among many other accolades as the No. 4 best program of all time by TV Guide.
Each of the characters from the groundbreaking Norman Lear sitcom has an indelible place in the small-screen pantheon: racist loudmouth Archie Bunker (Carroll OConnor), long-suffering wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), their daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) and her Polack husband Mike Stivic (Rob Reiner).
But before the series went on the air, none of the cast members had any idea All in the Family would make it past the broadcast of the first episode.
We were in the middle of making our ninth episode when the first one went on the air in January of 1971, Struthers recalled last week, and our director, John Rich, said to us that day in the rehearsal hall, Well, the first one airs tonight, and everybody went, Yay!
He said, I suppose youre all watching it with friends and family. Well, you need to know that CBS is manning affiliates all over the country with extra operators to take the angry phone calls, so if they ascertain that this thing infuriated the public, we wont have jobs tomorrow.
Only a few weeks later, those making All in the Family realized it would be a massive hit.
Then our director told us, You all need to know that youre going to all very soon something youve enjoyed very much and never given any thought to, and thats your privacy, Struthers said.
Although the show has remained in reruns since it went off the air more than 30 years ago, Struthers cant bear to watch those old episodes today.
It makes me too sad. Except for Rob Reiner and Norman Lear, every single person I worked with on that show is gone, she said. I miss them all too much. They were all such great people, all of them Carroll and Jean and Mike Evans Sherman Hemsley and Betty Garrett. Theyre all gone. Bea Arthur and our directors have all died. Our writers have died. Theres nobody but Rob and Norman Lear. I lost my second family.
Its an adjustment to realize you are no longer a young person. No one calls you miss anymore they call you maam or madam or lady. Theres no more buffer before the grave. Before, you were young and it was older people who were dying now youre in that older group and your friends are dying.
You realize, Ive started into the autumn of my life wow! OK, well, at least I still have the gumption to get on a bus with a bunch of kids in their 20s to go out and do a major musical. I havent given up yet.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - Authorities are investigating a complaint
that the peephole for a Hollywood motel room was reversed to look
into the room.
A Quality Inn representative says officials have examined hours of surveillance tape, and the Denver couple that filed the complaint were not spied on during their stay.
The couple checked in Feb. 14 after a cruise. The wife says she noticed the next morning that the peephole had been reversed.
A vice president for the hotel says it was an isolated incident
and that the problem was immediately corrected.
Police say investigators are trying to find out who was responsible, but they don't have much physical evidence to go on.

Humans Are About To Taste The First Genetically Engineered "Super" Bananas
Researchers are taking cues from early genetically modified fortified foods, but not making the same mistakes (and hopefully not making new ones).
Human subjects in the United States will be the first to try a genetically engineered banana that aims to save children dying from malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa.
Every year, up to half a million children go blind—and half of those who do die within the subsequent 12 months—because of a vitamin A deficiency in their diets. In order to tackle the deficiency problem, researchers toiled away for two decades at developing genetically modified, nutrient-loaded "golden" rice that promised to enrich those diets. But while the latest experiment in feeding the world has taken cues from the Golden Rice tests, super banana research is also forging a new path—and avoiding its earlier ancestor's pitfalls.
There are high stakes placed on human trials when it comes to GM food. Two years ago, Golden Rice ran into serious controversy over them. In 2012, U.S. researchers published a human trial that resulted in the sacking of three officials when it was discovered that their subjects—Chinese schoolchildren between the ages of six and eight—and their families didn't have a full picture of what Golden Rice really was.
The banana researchers, however, have chosen to do their human trials in the United States. Researchers from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have just sent their technology, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to Iowa State University, which will test how well the bananas can translate increased amounts of beta carotene into vitamin A in humans.
QUT professor and lead researcher James Dale credits the Golden Rice researchers with paving the way for boosting beta carotene levels in plants. Following Golden Rice's lead, Australian scientists were able to increase the amount of beta carotene in a typical Cavendish banana from two micrograms to 20.
"No one had ever done anything like this before," explains QUT professor and lead researcher James Dale. "We were engineering the metabolic pathway to get [bananas] to produce more of what they produce anyway. It's been challenging to produce the level that we wanted to."
As far as the conversion to vitamin A levels goes, scientists have already found success in the animal trials with something called a Mongolian gerbil. It's a promising sign for the human tests, but no guarantee.
Dale and his colleagues have been running field trials in Australia, but also transferring the gene sequences to Uganda, where field experiments should result in a final "super" banana line. Those trials, he adds, are being conducted by Ugandan researchers.
After the field trials and human tests, Dale imagines that the biggest challenges ahead lie in public perception and getting the bananas through the regulation processes. He also stresses that this kind of research differs from commercial GM crop development. The latter has attracted quite a bit of debate in recent years over the industry's bullying tactics and adverse effects.
"There's very, very strong evidence that the benefits of GM crops will begin to accrue, especially in the developing world," Dale says.

Perhaps you should also pay attention to the new form of Panama-disease, a threat for the banana production in developing countries.
A carrot has 4,142 micrograms of beta-carotene, based on a quick search.... I love the idea of a super banana, but maybe other options are more readily available.
Fascinating article - I'd never realised that vitamin A deficiency was such a serious issue. Shows how much we take for granted in the West with our easy access to supermarkets and a wide selection of healthy foods on every corner. Congratulations to Stephen Buah and James Dale for their inspiring work to stop all those children going blind.
Anyone who thinks avoiding blindness and death is not beneficial ( that would be you, Pedro) is not seeing things clearly. Vitamin A deficiency kills more children than anything else - more than malaria, HIV or TB. Most of these children are on rice diets, but many also have access to bananas.
The only reason there is such bounty in our stores, including the organic section, is because science has been used for thousands of years to understand ways to make crops more suited to our needs. GM is just the latest and most advanced method. It copies what bacteria and viruses have been doing since life began, and so is not at all 'unnatural'.
I am very glad to see this article, a healthy counter to the ignorant misinformation spread by vested interest organizations like Greenpeace and Mike Adams.
Michael Moore Executive Director Allow Golden Rice Society
It would be infinitely easier to provide Vitamin A tablets to the millions of children who are deficient. Instead, their bio diverse fields of Vitamin A rich crops are taken over by biotech seeds with false promises. But bio tech needs " social heart felt" excuses for ravaging lands, farmers and societies with these genetically engineered monstrosities. Do a little research, Michael :FDA scientists in the beginning were very concerned about biodiversity, toxins, allergens, unknown diseases but they were bullied out by govt/biotech and the policy of "substantial equivalence" still rules. There's nothing scientific about " just about the same." The foundation of Genetic engineering was built on the "one gene equals one protein " paradigm. This was proven false when the Human Genome Project demonstrated that man has about 25000 genes , far fewer than is necessary to fulfill Crick's theory. More here.
Which "bio-diverse fields of Vitamin A rich crops" are you referring to? It's the lack of these that is causing the problem...
They were not third world, until Congress got there, with their Development, through such as USAID. You tell me why there are starving children, but never a hungry or homeless corporation, on corporate welfare...
There is no scientific evidence that supports GMO being beneficial. Instead of messing around with food in this way there should be be other greener ways developed to help people throughout the world. Chemistry and genetic manipulation are more apt to cause problems in the long term that other solutions. I think chemical and genetic shortcuts are the lazy way out.
The lazy way out... I always wonder if individuals such as yourself realize there would be famine and riots if it were not for the very things you are fighting against. I suppose, if you were willing to loose a substantial part of the population, your criticisms would hold true and we could go completely green.
I'm all for more testing and scientific study of GMOs. Really excited for what the future holds
GMOs have actually caused riots in third world countries by turning the grain market on its head. I think you should realize that Mexico is now the biggest importer of US corn - thanks to GMOs.
