It's one of the most mysterious projects to be coming out in 2015, and it will be in theaters smack dab in the middle of one of the busiest "Summer of Sequels" in the increasingly long, sad Hollywood history of franchise dependence. Originality is hard to come by in Tinseltown these days, and certainly recent evidence (Jupiter Ascending and Chappie) seems to indicate that people would rather trust the devil they know when it comes to high-profile sci-fi/fantasy films, but can Tomorrowland buck that trend? Disney is hoping so, even though they're set to make it rain in 2015 with The Avengers and Star Wars alone, and the studio's looking to convince fans further that Brad Bird's latest film is definitely worth checking out when it's released next month.

This week IMAX released a trailer for HBO's Game of Thrones upcoming IMAX event where they will screen the season four episodes "The Watchers on the Wall" and "The Children" back-to-back. HBO's fan favorite adaptation is the first TV program to be shown in IMAX, which is excellent news for the nerd community being that most of us are farsighted. But wait, it gets better – this trailer also includes a glimpse of what is to come in season five. Spoilers and such after the jump, sweetie… (more…)
While fans of Game of Thrones are itching for more Thrones and binge watching past seasons to take the edge off, HBO and IMAX are delivering two episodes and a brand spanking new Season Five Trailer to IMAX screens across the country in late January. That ought to have the average Game of Thrones fan salivating. Wanna know all the when, where, and what? (more…)
As we count down to the release of Guardians of the Galaxy, prepare for a full blown media assault: Videos! Posters! Press Junkets! Red Carpets! The whole Hollywood enchilada!

We're closing in fast on the August 1st release date for James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy and there's still plenty of GOTG goodness coming out of the Internet's woodwork.

With the upcoming return to the Star Wars universe, there will likely be many changes to take advantage of newer and better technologies. While Kathleen Kennedy has already stated their intention to retreat from the all-CGI mess that haunted Episodes I through III and return to a more model and location based approach, that doesn't mean they'll be stepping all the way back. According a new rumor, it looks like J.J. Abrams has his eyes on IMAX to heighten the Star Wars Episode VII experience.
According to IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond, he is in talks with Abrams concerning the use of IMAX for the new flick. It only stands to reason that this would be on the agenda, especially considering Abrams used the format for his last movie, Star Trek Into Darkness.
Some may say that this goes against returning to what made the first three movies so visually appealing, though I have to wonder how much of Episode VII is going to truly throw so far back as to have the gritty neo-industrial feel that we love so much. What do the Nerd Readers think? Is there even a need to use IMAX?
Thanks to BleedingCool for the heads-up.
You like that? It could be yours if you go to the midnight IMAX screening of Iron Man 3 at your local IMAX theater, according to Screen Rant. The poster was designed by comic book artist Jock (The Losers, Hellblazer), and is the latest in 12:01 poster series, which previous has included unique works honoring the release Real Steel, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Frankenweenie.
In other Iron Man 3 new, Marvel Studios head honcho and Iron Man 3 producer Kevin Feige recently talked to the LA Times about Tony Stark's mind set going into the movie, and where the character's head is at this point in his story arc. Here's what Feige had to say:
"He's experienced things now that frankly was a wake-up call. You don't have gamma-powered strength that anger can bring about. You don't have super-soldier serum flowing through your veins. You're not a thunder god from Asgard. You're just a guy. And Tony doesn't necessarily like to be reminded of those kinds of things because he likes to be at the top of the food chain.
"Where we meet Tony, he wants to be in that suit all the time, and he wants a lot of suits around him. And just as we sort of learn that's his issue, we blow them all up and take him out of that comfort zone.
"We wanted to take Tony to a place that he hadn't been since the first half of the first 'Iron Man' film, which is, essentially, by himself without his money, without his toys, without his gadgets, with just his mind, his intellect. We wanted to do that in a big climactic fashion by literally taking away everything that is near and dear to him, as symbolized in that mansion crumbling down into the Pacific."
In other Iron Man 3 developments, a new featurette has been released, and it outlines just how Extremis comes into play in the film and how it factors into The Mandarin's (Ben Kingsley) master plan. Included is commentary by director Shane Black, star Robert Downey Jr., and new head henchman James Badge Dale. Press play below (courtesy of Collider):
Finally, from the people who have more time on their hands than I do (and Geeks Are Sexy), a break down of just how much it costs to be Tony Stark. Enjoy!
Crazy, Moving "Cinemoasic" 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Poster & Advanced Ticket Sales Crash the IMAX Site
Heads up, tickets for the early IMAX 3D screenings of Star Trek Into Darkness are already on sale, and hopefully we won't experience the site crashing issues the U.K. had yesterday when their ticketing went live. Multiple tweets went out yesterday from BFI and ODEON Cinemas confirming the issue with booking tickets, and Paramount eventually tweeted a phone number frustrated fans could call to order their tickets. Wow, IMAX hasn't experienced site crashes like this since The Dark Knight Rises. Could Into Darkness be on its way to busting some box office records?
The buzz around this next Star Trek flick is unlike anything I've seen for Star Trek before, so who knows! They sure a promoting the crap out of it, and this latest poster is a weird one. Moving images, or GIFs, are all the rage right now and clearly the hope is to capitalize on this, but I've seen this "cinemoasic" thing done better by fans on Tumblr.
Hit the jump to check it out.
Ender's Game is easily one of the most anticipated sci-fi films in years thanks to a stellar cast and ground-breaking source material. Now we have not yet seen a trailer, although it should be coming soon, and we'll have to wait till November before we can see the movie in all its glory, but in the meantime Yahoo has some tidbits to tide us over: a teaser poster and a couple of notes from director Gavin Hood about a key set.
But first, behold the poster!
Now let's hear what Hood has to say about the Battle Room, a massive zero-gravity mock battlefield where Ender and other Earth children recruited to be military leaders practice the maneuvers and strategies they learn in class. "This is the high school football field, only it's in three dimensions," Hood explained. "It's the size of a football field in all directions: up, down, left, right. And the idea is teams jump out from opposite ends of this amazing space and play this amazing game of 3D paintball, almost."
Hood added why he decided on a critical geometric difference between the Battle Room in the book, which is a cube, and the Battle Room in the movie, which is a sphere. "What if we could see through? What if we could see out of the space, and we're moving around the Earth and turning at the same time?" He said, adding that he felt making the room a sphere would create "a really strange, disorienting experience."
I guess we'll find out for ourselves when Ender's Game – starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Abigail Breslin and Viola Davis will be released on November 1st in regular and IMAX cinemas.

The flag of Comic-Book-Movie-Market-Domination (CBMMD) that Marvel has planted over the last few years (Right through the heart of everything DC except Batman) has put then in a position where they can pretty much do as they please and nobody's going to say a word. Unless that involves re-shoots, then moviegoer fan boys and girls tend to trot out a litany of complaints for Shane Black and the Iron Man 3 production. Thankfully, it's usually all for the better.
Last night in Hollywood the studio filmed a small series of re-shoots for Iron Man 3 at the TLC Chinese Theater, with plans on

Hey guys!
I just sold my saddle because it was too big for me. Although I don't need a new saddle at the moment (I need to save the money for my trip to Germany!) I will be in search of a new saddle until I get another one (so addicting ). I have a long femur and I prefer my stirrups short, and even though my butt fits into a 17 my knees are often going over the edge of the flap. Especially in the 17 in HDR saddle I usually use for lessons.
My question is, which saddles tend to have a more forward flap? I have seen Ainsleys and Berney Bros saddles that look to have a more forward flap, but I am wondering which other saddles tend to fit a longer thigh more easily.
Also, I have been on the look out for 17 and 17.5 in saddles. My friend has a 17.5 County Eventing saddle and now a gorgeous new 17.5 CWD, and I fit in both well (Psh, wayyyy out of my price range though). Should I ditch the idea of a 17 and look for a 17.5 to fit my leg?
I know a lot of you will say it depends on what my horse needs, but I don't have one. I have leased horses and I take lessons but I don't have a horse of my own and I don't see myself having one in the next few years because of college and starting my career. It's nice to have a saddle when riding a friend's horse or taking lessons at a barn that has terrible lesson saddles. When I do get a horse, I will get a saddle fitted for him. But in the meantime, I'd like to have a saddle that fits a variety of horses and me well.
Thank you guys!

Mexico, Canada brawl in ninth inning
Canadians are in the midst of a debate over whether fighting should persist in hockey. Thus conflicted about their national pastime, on Saturday they brawled in ours.
VIDEO: BRAWL AT WBCWatch as Canada and Mexico clear the benches at the World Baseball Classic.
Team Canada didn't instigate the epic donnybrook in the ninth inning of their 10-3 triumph over Team Mexico, but they finished on top. That's not to say the Canadians would have been declared the victors on a judge's card. (I scored it a draw.) But they won because they will advance to the second round of the World Baseball Classic if they beat Team USA in Sunday's Pool D finale.
The Americans may want to wear their mouthguards. You know, just in case.
"The guys are fired up," said Larry Walker, the first base coach and Canadian baseball legend. "I'm fired up, and I just stand in the box and say, 'Two outs.'"
Fired up. This goes way beyond fired up. This was a certifiable fight, not the hold-your-partner, avoid-the-suspension business we typically see during major-league games. This was, instantly, one of the most memorable events in the brief history of the WBC. This was the latest sign that this particular pool has been thrust into chaos, to the point that no one should assume a U.S. victory Sunday — because, frankly, very little in Pool D has gone according to plan.
That's not to condone fighting in baseball. Our game doesn't need it. Saturday's brawl could have injured a player. (Thankfully, it didn't appear that happened.) The quarrel was between players and coaches wearing their country's colors, which made it especially radioactive and caused side skirmishes in the stands.
Yet, under the any-press-is-good-press heading, a great many people who knew little or nothing about the WBC said to their friends Saturday night: Dude, did you see what happened in that Canada-Mexico game?
Here are the essential details: Canada took a 9-3 lead into the top of the ninth — big enough to win the game, certainly, but not necessarily sufficient to advance out of pool play according to the myriad tiebreaker scenarios decided by run differential.
(It's not an ideal system, but necessary because of the WBC's tight travel schedule.) Within that context, the Canadians were well within proper baseball etiquette to play for a run. And so catcher Chris Robinson dropped a leadoff bunt single down the third-base line.
Team Mexico took offense — or, at least, third baseman Luis Cruz did. Before Rene Tosoni stepped to the plate as the next hitter, Cruz walked toward the mound and apparently instructed pitcher Arnold Leon to exact revenge. "Their third baseman was telling (Leon) to hit him, right in the ribs," Walker said.
Leon tried. Twice. He missed both times, prompting home plate umpire Brian Gorman to warn both dugouts. Leon was undeterred — and, finally, aimed true on his third attempt. An agitated Tosoni started toward the mound, both benches emptied, and the tussle began.
Walker initially grabbed hold of All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, the nearest Mexican player to him. (Walker later told Gonzalez, "You're too important to the game of baseball to be jumping in here and doing something stupid.") They parted after a few moments. And as other combatants on both sides delivered (and landed) punches, Walker found himself paired up with mysterious Mexican reliever Alfredo Aceves — a metaphysical encounter he won't soon forget.
"I had a hold of him," Walker said, "and I think I saw Satan in his eyes."
Just guessing here, but I don't think this was quite what Bud Selig had in mind when he talked Friday about how the WBC can "internationalize" the sport.
INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLYSee all the best action from the World Baseball Classic.
In the end, Leon, Aceves, Oliver Perez and Eduardo Arredondo were ejected for Team Mexico; Tosoni, Pete Orr and Jay Johnson for Team Canada. Perez and Mexican manager Rick Renteria acknowledged afterward that bunting with a six-run lead would have been inappropriate during a regular-season game, but they understood why Robinson did it in this context.
Apparently, Cruz and Leon didn't receive the same message.
"Maybe I needed to do a better job of explaining (the rules) to my players," Renteria said. "I thought I had. I thought I had it understood. But when you get into the heat of the battle of playing the game — a lot of these guys are used to playing in their respective leagues or clubs — when that happens, in that moment, he just lost sight of it. That's all."
It was a little harder for Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt to dismiss. He grew visibly emotional during his postgame news conference, saying he "assumed" every team would operate with the same understanding of WBC rules. It should be pointed out that the Canadians weren't exactly innocent bystanders. Johnson was one of the primary pugilists. Walker drew applause from Canadian fans — and angry boos from Mexican supporters — when he tugged at the "CANADA" across his jersey and bulled his chest toward the crowd. Shortstop Cale Iorg chucked a water bottle back into the crowd after a fan threw it at the head of pitching coach Denis Boucher.
World Baseball Classic International — made up of officials from Major League Baseball and the players' union — will investigate the incident and determine if any suspensions are merited. It's unlikely the review will conclude before Sunday's first pitch at 2 p.m. local time. So, Whitt should have his full complement of players against Team USA — assuming, of course, that none of them wake up sore from the previous day's wrestling match.
Whitt insisted his guys would be OK.
"You can't hurt us Canadians," he said.

[ Napoleon ]
I know this young ***** who love to keep his gun in his pants
14, little Ant will snatch your **** to enhance
He lost his moms at a early age, pops was cracked out
His brother ran a drug house where they slept with they Mac's out
And where we from, **** them basketball teams
And your neighborhood PAL cause it's all about makin cream
He stayed dirty, copped a clip for thirty
He'd rather be sellin drugs early instead of young, black and nerdy
He had his hard hat, born ready for war
This young ***** heart's gone and I saw this before
He lived day by day, prey by prey, stray by stray
Blunted on Chancellor Ave. 380 hallway
He bought a AK and I know he gon' sway, it ain't no damn way
That this young ***** can turn his life around, mang
Now where is God when you need him, he's internally bleedin
Little Ant's barely breathin but he gotta stay eatin
So he robs again but this time he all smoked out
He put his finger on the trigger and let the death fly out
Some man got hit, he's layin on the pavement stiff
Blood drippin from his face and he drownin in it
Now what a surprise that little Ant can't come around
That it's his own man dead on the ground
Dead on the ground
He can't come around
That it's his own man dead on the ground
Dead on the ground
Lost, turned out

What's it all about
Lost, turned out

Baby girl, I can see you in that crazy world
Spinnin out of control, nowhere to go
At one point in time, huh, you could've been mine
But you was movin too fast, couldn't take the chance in losin yo ***
In high school, we was homies, but that was before we
Started keepin each other from bein lonely
With my mama workin all the time and your daddy drinkin
Sneakin, tryin to bump and grind, what is he thinkin?
We escaped in each other, became friends before lovers
More like sister and brother, at least we can trust us
But I had dreams, yeah, my plane leavin soon
Had to hook up with Pac, huh, continue to bloom
I called twice just to see if you alright
Both times you wasn't home, I knew somethin was wrong
And then I knew I was right, when they said they found you one night
Barely holdin on, tell me where did you go wrong?
Was it when you started strippin for tips?
Then sellin it for mo' chips?
And sniffin powder just to deal with it
Can you tell me, I guess that you can't
Cause I'm hearin you about to take your last dance
Let the game get the best of you, baby
Shoulda called on a Law, he was testin you, baby
But now you gone before you can be found
Gone without a doubt, lost and turned out
Lost and turned out
Lost, turned out
Not a doubt
What's it all about
Lost, turned out

What's it all about

My brother Sean, he home now, he cool for a minute
I love him to death but bullshit he stays in it
I'm gettin older [Name] middle school around the corner
The drug dealers need and teach what they want to
"Moms, can I go to the park and play?"
Didn't play, I was countin every single cent them *****s made
Then his moms lost her job, no more money-stackin
On her way home she slipped on some ice and caught a back spasm
And that's what happened to Aline
She said she had lotta pains, just an excuse to be a fiend
Low on food, though it was good what my mama made
But you know a hungry ***** at school can't concentrate
be to an F student
Think about the *****es and the sneakers, my whole childhood ruined
I made my first sale ( ? ) in a alley way in 164
I was scared as ****
I wasn't scared of the cops though, this is true
I was more scared of what mom duke'd do
So I chilled for a few instead of ( ? )
Spent weekends with my peeps just escapin the block
Little [Names], I knew em since seven
We had a room, they had a house, just no way to compare it
But they parents taught me **** and gave me ****
Fed me, treated a ***** just like family
You gave me love and you neglected me too
Lost and turned out but still comin home to you
I love you [Name]
I love you [Name]
Lost and turned out but still comin home to you
I love you [Name]

Offensive player of the week: Damien Williams, RB, Oklahoma – In a week where most teams put up gaudy point totals, there are plenty of candidates (like Texas Tech's Seth Doege and TCU's Casey Pachall) for this title. But Williams made the biggest impression in the least amount of time. The running back scampered for 156 yards and four touchdowns on just 10 carries vs. Florida A&M, setting an OU record for most rushing yards in a home debut. Williams, a JUCO transfer, is averaging 13.7 yards per carry through two games for Oklahoma and proving that the Sooners have more than just Dominique Whaley as an option in the backfield.

RUNNING TOWARD RECYCLING: Largest Cross Country Meet in the U.S. Partners with Global Green USA to Pilot Paper Cup Recycling Initiative; Reduce CO2 Emissions
September 1, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA) — National environmental non-profit Global Green USA is teaming up with the largest cross country meet in the United States, the Portage Invite in Portage, Michigan, to put recyclable paper cups to the test, both for performance and for recyclability at a local paper mill. Using cups developed by Coalition for Resource Recovery (CoRR) member LBP Manufacturing that have passed a recyclability protocol developed by CoRR member Western Michigan University (WMU), Global Green USA will coordinate their use, collection and recycling at a paper mill in Kalamazoo, MI operated by Graphic Packaging.
The successful recovery and recycling of these cups will represent a key step in identifying best systems for keeping valuable paper fiber in the market as high-quality products, and out of landfills. Unlike many other paper sources, such as newsprint and magazines, foodservice packaging is a growing stream but seldom recovered for recycling. According to the EPA, 5.6 million tons of food service packaging is landfilled in the US each year, releasing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to six coal-fired power plants. Since 2009, Global Green's Coalition for Resource Recovery (CoRR) program has been working to divert these valuable materials into new products.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers play for Christina-Taylor Green Foundation
Phoenix -- Teams don't train in Tucson anymore but the Brewers will send a split-squad team there Friday to play Seattle in a charity game for a very good cause.
Proceeds from the game will go the The Christina-Taylor Green Foundation.
Green, the granddaughter of longtime MLB executive Dallas Green, was killed at age 9 in Tucson in January 2011 in the shootings that seriously wounded congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Green was one of six who were killed that day.
The Foundation provides aid to school children in need in the Tucson area. The game is at 3:05 p.m. CDT.

The NBA Development League announced Thursday that the team nickname will be the Bighorns.
Bighorns, aside from being the state animal, is a throwback to the city's old basketball team which used the name. The original Bighorns played in the Western Basketball Association in 1978-79. The second edition of the Bighorns played in the Continental Basketball Association from 1982-83.

Jon Machota answered your Cowboys questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Cowboys will miss the Ware of '07-'11.....but last year, Ware was handled solo many times.....a few times by rookies. Aren't we over-reacting to Ware's departure, based on recent past performance?
Jon Machota: I'd rather have Ware than not have him. Let's not act like he wouldn't still be starting. I completely understand why they parted ways. It was for financial reasons. It makes sense. I just think too many Cowboys fans think his career is over.
Question: So, Bass and Gardner don't make the team?
Jon Machota: No, not saying that. That was just the two-deep. I think they'll keep 9-10 on the 53-man. Both of them are in play as well as Davon Coleman, Okoye, Rayford and Wilson.
Question: Mr. Machota, it's a slow time so I read the pre-camp rankings and the Cowboys are widely ranked in the bottom of the league. I just don't understand it. Is it their schedule more than change in personnel? I don't think the division has improved head and shoulders above the 'Boys, and call me Jerry, but I think they've improved this offseason.
Jon Machota: The Cowboys have so many questions on defense that it's difficult for anyone to think they'll be better than last year. If they're not, the offense might not be enough to keep them from finishing last in the East. The offense has a ton of weapons and if Romo is healthy they should be one of the better units in the league, but to win enough games to take the division, that defense is going to need to show up more often than it did a year ago.
Question: Everyone is talking about how bad the DLine is going to be but IMO i think that will be fine it is the LB's that we need to worry about...they seem so unsettled at there..thoughts?
Jon Machota: It's very possible that the linebackers will end up being the weakest position group on the roster. No Sean Lee means Bruce Carter has to play at a Pro Bowl level for them to be solid at the position. I'm not a huge fan of having Durant at MLB. That's not his natural spot. It's going to take Hitchens a while to learn that position as well. DeVonte Holloman and Kyle Wilber need to really have breakout seasons for this group to be good.

More Good Words about Eyrie Pinot noir and Pinot gris
From Ed McCarthy's recent article, " Oregon, Home of Fine Wines,,,,Especially Pinots" – (Wine Review Online):
The Eyrie Vineyards: For many of us who enjoy Eyrie's delicate style of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, this is Oregon's premium winery (and its 50th Anniversary). When wine critic Robert Parker reviewed Eyrie's Pinot Noirs, he gave them very low ratings; he did not appreciate Eyrie's subtle, delicate style. I have followed Eyrie Vineyards from the beginning, and thanks to the generosity of late winemaker-owner David Lett, I have enjoyed a few vertical tastings of both Eyrie's Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris wines. They both age amazing well (even more surprising to me for the Pinot Gris). I have been drinking a 1985 Eyrie Pinot Noir for the last two days; it is in great shape, delicate, but delicious. Lett (and now his winemaker son (since 2005), Jason Lett, have great vineyards, and they pick the grapes slightly earlier than others, before they ripen fully. It obviously works with the delicate Pinot grapes. David Lett was just about the only one who recognized Pinot Gris' potential in Oregon. It took other winemakers ten years to get on the Pinot Gris bandwagon after Eyrie's first Pinot Gris in 1970. I recommend both Eyrie's 2012 Pinot Noir ($35) and its 2013 Pinot Gris ($19).

Eyrie In the 4th Dimension
Posted by Cole Danehower in Essential Northwest Wines on Jun 3, 2014
Wines in the 4th Dimension
"There aren't many wineries in the Northwest (or the US, for that matter) that can offer both their current-vintage wine lineup and their wines from vintages like 1999, 1996, 1990, 1989, 1989, and even 1985. Off-hand, I can only think of one: The Eyrie Vineyards.
Jason Lett likes to say that wine represents three dimensions: climate, soil, and technique. When they all interact well, they create excellence. But, he also says, there is a 4th dimension: time. True greatness is when the qualities of the first three dimensions gain complexity and balance with the addition of time.
Few of us generally experience the benefits of wine-time because few of us cellar our wines for, oh say 30 or 40 years. Thankfully, the Lett family does!"
As part of Oregon Public Broadcasting's wonderful TV history series THE OREGON EXPERIENCE, OPB recounts the story of Oregon's wine industry, and the quest for the perfect climate for American Pinot noir. Lots of footage of early Eyrie, David and Diana and family, along with our fellow Pinot Pioneers, way back when. This video gives an excellent insight into the people, the history, and the values that shape our industry today and into the future.
OPB OREGON EXPERIENCE: "OREGON WINE, GRAPES OF PLACE" ……. Click here to watch online.
"In the 1960s a new breed of pioneers began arriving in Oregon's Willamette Valley determined to grow Vitis vinifera, the fine wine grapes of Europe. They were told it couldn't be done and were amply warned that Western Oregon was too cold and wet for vinifera to flourish. But they came anyway, with a dream of producing fine premium wines – in particular Pinot noir, made from the delicate red grape of Burgundy, France. The pioneers' risky experiment would create a new industry in Oregon and change the world of wine forever".
"Vine Stories" ~ A Video Visit to The Eyrie Vineyards
From the creators of the series Vine Stories: "Wine growing in Oregon would not be what it is today without David Lett, founder of The Eyrie Vineyards. Come along as we tour the vineyards and hear from his son, Jason Lett, grower and winemaker at this historic Oregon winery. Jason talks about the history of the vineyard, Pinot noir, Pinot gris, and his sustainable farming practices as he carries this legacy forward." – See the video at: http://www.vinestories.com/video.php?video=3461674644001

Re-introducing the Elva!
"Something about our old '70's Swiss hand-bottler glittering under its dust stirred an idea: If a machine can fill a bottle, why can't it empty one?"
I began to see a solution to a problem that's been occupying me ever since we opened our tasting room: "How can we serve library wines so that every glass is perfect?" – Jason Lett
Taste the newly-purposed old Elva in action, at our winery tasting room.
"From grape-growing to elevage, this is an artisanal, non-interventionist, unique operation that continues to turn out some of the most fascinating wines on the planet." Jay Miller, Wine Advocate
"The Eyrie Vineyards has not missed a beat since Jason Lett took over the reins from his late father, Oregon legend David Lett." – 10/09 Wine Advocate
Rachel Halpren sends kudos to Eyrie, and blogs a Drink of the Week recommendation:
"Eyrie Pinot blanc:……This is a rare bird. A great Pinot Blanc from the United States from this storied winery located in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. I love all the wines from this winery – the Pinot Noir, the Pinot Gris and the Pinot Blanc. But, the Pinot Blanc is produced in very small quantities and shown an inordinate amount of love. Snap it up! If you love Pinot, I would highly recommend ordering a sampler platter from The Eyrie Vineyards. They are super nice and have very reasonably priced shipping rates."
Jason wrote these notes from a past Harvest time:
"The beginning is always hard to separate from the end. We started picking today, and it is the end of the vintage for every vine we harvest. The fruit has burgeoned over months, starting as a tiny, citrus-scented flower to reach this apotheosis: a quick snip in the cool of the morning. The life of the cluster has come to its end.
But that snip is the very beginning of the wine. An acre of grapes goes into one press. The berries, pressed, yield their juice–the first of the run of Pinot gris is tart and green. The press cycles—14 pounds of pressure, then 28, then 42—backing off the platen and fluffing the berries up again between each squeeze. Each cycle brings its own character to the wine, the last yielding juice the color of rose-hip tea and sweet with the sugars stored next to the skins. It takes three hours of slow respiration of the platen of our old basket-presses to finish the cycle. We are left with an empty press and a few hundred pounds of skins, but also with a full tank of heavy juice, giving leave to the yeasts to make it wine.
When you pick the grapes, you can almost hear the vine's relief. The canes, unburdened of their fruit, spring straight again. The beautiful architecture of the vine, and all the hand labor that went into assisting it to its form, suddenly clarifies. The leaves change color almost immediately. Freed from the burden of photosynthesis, the vines secret their remaining sugars into their trunks and begin their preparations for the winter to come.
By the time the leaves have fallen, the juice has fermented to wine. The vines grow dormant. The cool of winter steals into the winery and the second fermentation begins, the long malolactic that carries the wine safely through winter. A period of age, the careful tumult into the bottle—and someday to the table, where another end, and another beginning, awaits the wine-to-be."

Epic Tasting, Eyrie Chardonnays, 1970 – 2007!
On July 23, The Eyrie Vineyards presented a Chardonnay tasting of historic proportions. 38 Eyrie vintages were poured, from Eyrie's (and the Willamette Valley's) first vintage in 1970, to our most recent release, the 2007 Reserve. Members of the international wine media, Eyrie staff and crew, and a group of friends and supporters gathered to taste the Chardonnays of Eyrie's founder, David Lett, and son Jason Lett, who took the helm at Eyrie in 2005.
The reason for this Retrospective was, above all, to raise funds to benefit the young family of our cellarmaster, Julio Hernandez. Julio's wife Lupe was suffering from renal failure, and needed a kidney transplant. Despite having insurance, the costs are monumental. Proceeds from the sale of Eyrie Reserve Chardonnays will go to help cover Lupe's uninsured medical expenses. We hope you will join our efforts, and enjoy some unique and beautiful Chardonnays at the same time.
To learn more about this event, and to read British wine authority Jancis Robinson's tasting notes, go to "Eyrie Chardonnay Retrospective" at the bottom of the column to your right.
"Castles In the Air" – Jason Lett speaks about David's life, at Linfield Commencement
David Lett, founder of The Eyrie Vineyards, was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree by the faculty and trustees of Linfield College at Commencement ceremonies on May 31, 2009. The honor was given in recognition of David's "visionary work to establish Oregon's world-renowned wine industry".
Jason Lett accepted the posthumous degree on behalf of his father and family, and delivered the 2009 Linfield College commencement address "Castles in the Air". The title of Jason's address was based on a quotation from Henry David Thoreau, that David carried with him for 40 years: "If a man proceeds confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in the common hour…."

Eyrie's History
David Lett planted the first Pinot noir vines in the Willamette Valley, in 1965.
In 1966 and 1967, David and his new bride, Diana, spent their honeymoon year transplanting and tending their new vineyard in the Red Hills of Dundee. A few years later, Pinot noir from The Eyrie Vineyards earned the first international recognition for Oregon wines.
In 2005, David and Diana Lett passed the Eyrie legacy to 2nd-generation winemaker Jason Lett. To learn more about The Eyrie Vineyards, please visit our About page.

In the heart of the Golden Triangle, next to Les Champs Elysées, sits the Mini-Palais.
This tearoom occupies the former dining room (and terrace) of the splendid 19th-century Jacquemart-André Museum.
Chez Savy hasn't changed much, if at all, since its inception in 1923. Located near the famed Champs-Elysées in the Eighth Arrondissement, this quintessential French bistro serves original cuisine from Auvergne among traditional Art Deco touches of Jazz Age Paris.
Just off the Champs-Élysées, Le Chiberta is one of the more affordable restaurants created by world-renowned chef Guy Savoy. Set inside a stylized Haussmann building with undulating balconies, Le Chiberta is a contemporary, multi-room space designed by acclaimed architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
The Chef: Former musician/pizza maker Guy Martin was credited with resurrecting Le Grand Véfour—one of Paris's oldest and most storied restaurants—in 2000, when it was the only restaurant to earn three stars from the annual Red Michelin Guide.
Upon entering the main dining room of Les Élysées, in the four-star Hotel Vernet near the Champs Élysées and Arc de Triomphe, look up to see the stained-glass dome ceiling with gilded edging, designed by Gustave Eiffel.
Very well known, chef Pierre Gagnaire serves high-priced, modern cuisine at his flagship 3-Star Michelin restaurant on rue Balzac.

Facebook Hypocrisy on Hunting Photos
Facebook came under fire from hunting advocates and gun rights supporters this weekend when it removed a series of pictures from the account of Kendall Jones, a Texas cheerleader. Jones' pictures showed her posing with a variety of animals she had shot earlier this month on safari in Zimbabwe, such as the leopard, above.
It was widely assumed that the pictures were removed in response to widespread outcry from animal rights groups over Jones' trophy snapshots. But that's not the case, the social network has said - the pictures simply violated Facebook's terms of service.
Specifically, the pictures were deemed to break a rule about "graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence," as outlined in this page on Facebook Community Standards.
Dumb quotes from Facebook at the link. This begs the question because there are a ton of user pictures on FB of hunters proudly posing with their deer, or what-have-you. Of course those didn't generate 300,000 emails of protest from the anti-hunting crowd.

Replying just so I can watch for your updates. Keep going .
First and foremost if this is not allowed mods please feel free to delete it.
Well this is inspired partly by Aquarezz's thread here
Basically the purpose of this thread is I will try and update this thread once every 2 weeks with what I have been doing towards my online business and post the goals for the next 2 weeks, as well as post complications, things I have found a lot easier then what I thought they would be and just general things I find interesting like what my income from each site is at the time.
At the moment I only have 1 website which is weknowtools.net the current goal for this is to get to 35-45 pages of content which I will write myself and I hope to have it all on within 3 weeks. I am hoping once this site is done to be at an average of $20 a day or more. After I have the tool site to the point I want it I plan on trying to build a much larger site but we can save all of that for another day.
I am hoping this thread will help a lot with procrastination and will help me with having a guide sort of thing to follow as well as getting advice and guidance from other Net Builders.
Looking forward to it mate
Don't forget to build some quality links to your site. Unique content will not bring you $20 / day. Maybe you will get some random adsense clicks, but not to much if you have low traffic.
If you are promoting affiliate products, you may earn an average $20/day... but still need good organic traffic.
Good luck and keep us updated with your progress!
Find Best Web Hosting Service. It's good or bad host? - JustHost Review
Download free joomla themes for version 1.5 and 1.6
But thanks to both of you for picking up on that.
I would also concentrate on getting links not to just your home page but to also those specific pages (deep links) on your site, as well.
Need links? Try AuthorLinks where you can buy or sell links based on Authorship and Klout score. Check out my blog or like me on Facebook.
One quality keyword researched article be per week should be enough. In 2 years, you will have 100 articles.
Spend the time building links. Set up web 2.0 accounts and promote the site.
Also, modify your wordpress template, so that, it functions more as a cms and less as a blog platform.
My suggestion is to create a plan using a Google Docs spreadsheet and share it with the public.
Then you can have a time line with tasks (such as a Gantt chart), example:
JISC infoNet - Gantt Chart Picture
Then posts to the forum thread won't disrupt your plan items.
Good luck with achieving your objectives, anyway.
My Blogs: Angular Skills .:. Backend Coder
My Open Source Code .:. Save A Blog To eBook (Software)
So you have to tell us the plan for the next week!
iKnewIt - Questions and answers archive I don't think that looks much like a blog.
But I don't think I will start with much of the content until about the second of Feb as that is when school starts and I have a few things I want to do these holidays.
Also if any of you have a site that is relevant like automotive sites I might be able to put a link on my site for free later on.

Posted by Will Brinson
Things aren't exactly going the Dallas Cowboys' way on Thanksgiving in the early goings, and they took a turn for the worse when Miles Austin was forced to the locker room with what appears to be an arm injury.
Austin suffered the injury on a first-and-10 reception in which he appeared to fumble the ball (the play was reversed after Jason Garrett challenged it).
It appeared that Kitna took a shot to his arm from the knee of a defender, and he was rubbing it on the sidelines before the training staff decided to escort him to the locker room.
Austin returned to the game on the next series and it was reported that X-rays on his arm were negative.

On behalf of the University of California Humanities Network, the UC Humanities Research Institute invites proposals for graduate seminars on the Humanities and Changing Conceptions of Work, to be held during the 2012-13 academic year.
Who Can Apply: UC Faculty and lecturers
Level of Award: Up to $10,000 per seminar
Funding Source: UC Humanities Network (Mellon Foundation grant)
Deadline: 5:00 pm PST on Thursday, January 19, 2012 (FastApps opens on November 21, 2011)
The UC Humanities Network expects to fund three proposals for graduate seminars (either one quarter or one semester long) to be taught by a UC faculty member – ladder-track or lecturer – in the humanities or humanistic social sciences. Proposals for team-taught courses also will be considered.
The seminars should focus on the theme of "work" in and beyond the academy. The proposed course can include a focus on "work" as itself a topic of research or an engagement with the work of the humanities, including:
Seminar proposals must include a syllabus of readings and an overview of the required coursework and papers.
Seminars will be awarded up to $10,000 to support the course. Funds may be allocated for research support, course materials, honoraria and expenses for visiting speakers, and other course-related expenses. Up to $7k may be used for research support for the instructor(s) of record, either as direct research funds or toward a graduate research assistant. Up to $7k may also be used, with approval from the department chair and/or dean's office, toward course release or replacement costs.
Prior to submission, applicants should consult their department chair and/or dean's office to secure permission to include the proposed course in the department's offerings. If selected, instructors must provide written confirmation of permission from department chair and/or dean's office within 5 days of notification of selection.
Please provide a proposed budget indicating how the course funds will be spent.
The primary considerations for funding will be the degree of interdisciplinarity and the breadth of the proposed seminar and its perceived appeal to students. Seminars should be designed to attract graduate students from a broad range of departments and disciplines. Curricula for the seminars will be placed on the UC Humanities Network website as a teaching resource.
Proposals will be reviewed and selected by the UC Humanities Consortium.
Required documents include:
The course description should address a core research question or problem statement, and the short-term and long-term significance of the topic or issue to the theme of the humanities and changing conceptions of work. It should also clearly articulate the theoretical and/or practical justifications for the course design and selected readings.
All materials should be submitted to UCHRI via FastApps no later than 5:00 pm PST on Thursday, January 19, 2012.
Questions about the application process should be directed to Suedine Nakano, UCHRI program manager, at email@example.com.
For general questions about the grant and proposal development, please contact the director or staff of your campus humanities center or Jennifer Langdon, UCHRI associate director, at email@example.com.

Well, the Portras (160 and 400) were revamped in late 2006 to version 2. In early 2008, the 400s were revised again, giving us 400NC-3 and 400VC-3. The 160s were not revised at this time. Here's a Kodak document describing the new 400s.
From what I understand, 800 is on it's 3rd revision, though only two have been labeled (800 and 800-2). 800-2 was supposedly revised at some point, but the label stayed the same.
So as far as I know, the most recently updated Portras were the 400s. Followed by the 160s, then by 800. As far as generation of tech, it looks like the 400 is out in the lead, with the 800 and 160s on the same level.

Davenport coaches seeing more enthusiasm
Davenport coach John Greenfield has noticed a little more enthusiasm among his players than in the past, and he thinks it's because of the team's high expectations for itself.
"The coaches mentioned it to me after the first day, that things were just a little more positive than in the past," Greenfield said. "It's really the best time we've had in two-a-days in several years."
The Bulldogs return all eight starters on both offense and defense.
"They think they're gonna go deep into the playoffs," Greenfield said. "They're very excited and confident."
Last season, Davenport lost in the second round to Wetumka. Running back Mike Miller, who rushed for 2,103 yards and 33 touchdowns as a junior in 2010, was lost at halftime of that game to an injury.
"As long as we can stay healthy, we've got a good chance," Greenfield said.

Jarius Watson, 20, of Alexandria, was charged in a Tuesday burglary in the Airbase Road, officials said. He also confessed to a September burglary in the same area and is wanted on burglary and theft charges in Calcasieu Parish.
- Filed Under
A 20-year-old Alexandria man charged in a Tuesday burglary in the Airbase Road area also confessed to a September burglary in the same area and is wanted on burglary and theft charges in Calcasieu Parish, according to the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office.
At about 8 a.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to an attempted burglary in the 6600 block of First Street, off Airbase Road. The complainant said someone had tried to break into their house through a back window, but the complainant confronted the suspect, who ran.
Deputies saw a person matching the suspect's description running on Airbase Road. When stopped, the man said he was on his way to school, but deputies took him to the complainant's house, where the complainant identified him as the person who tried to break in. The suspect, Jarius Lee Watson, of 6600 Sabine Drive, Apt. A, in Alexandria, was arrested.
Watson told deputies he'd burglarized a nearby residence in late September, during which a computer, jewelry and a cellphone were taken. Detectives had been able to obtain fingerprints from that burglary, as well as descriptions from neighbors of the suspect going door to door, telling people he was looking for a woman.
The investigation is continuing.

December 1, 2015
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Highway Patrol is testing a software system that aims to increase the safety of motorists and decrease the number of crashes.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the agency has been piloting a system called Crash Reduction Analyzing Statistical History, or CRASH, over the last six months. The software helps analysts predict the spots where crashes are likely to occur.
The system has been accurate about three-fourths of the time in the six months that THP has been using it. The agency has also started a model aimed at predicting when and where to find intoxicated drivers.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott said it's too soon to determine the effectiveness of the program, but noted that traffic fatalities have decreased by 5.5 percent this year.

Secondhand Hate
Another step downhill for modern liberalism.
Jan 4, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 16 • By NOEMIE EMERY
The attempt to cast former governor Palin--an Alaskan born in Idaho and raised in the northernmost state of the Union--as the titular head of what the left thinks of as the neo-Confederate wing of the Republican party is one of the stranger contortions of the Secondhand Hate movement. The fact that her book tour drew a largely white fan base was viewed as revelatory by some. "They look like a white crowd to me," Chris Matthews said, viewing the footage of fans in Grand Rapids lined up for her autograph. "Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it is pretty monochromatic up there. . . . I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing . . . white vs. other people. . . . She is pretty smart about this." What was "smart," by Matthews's reckoning, was her saying that the Fort Hood mass killer, a Muslim with a record of inflammatory comments regarding jihad and its merits, should have been "profiled" because of "what his radical beliefs were" and dismissed from the armed forces. Matthews saw this as code for rousing hatred. "Profiling has a particular meaning," he said to his panel, which concurred with his findings. "Everybody knows what profiling is. It's driving while black."
Kathleen Parker, a columnist who can't stand Palin or Southern conservatives, lost no time in tying the two in one package, making the belle of the tundra the natural heir to Nixon's Southern strategy, with its ambience of "sweat, cigar smoke, and rage." In an August 2009 column, Parker asserted that that same Southern rage returned in the fall of 2008, "stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing, but Southerners weaned on Harper Lee heard the dog whistle . . . a sense of a resurgent Old South and all the attendant pathologies of festering hate and fear." This was catnip for Matthews, who asked Parker if Palin was "a poster girl for racism. . . . Is Sarah the dog whistle that says, yeah, that's what it's all about?"
This line of "analysis" was presaged by Timothy Noah of Slate, who argued on August 4, 2008, that references to Obama's "skinniness" (or his big ears) were racist, since they directed attention to his physical being, one characteristic of which is his color. "When white people are invited to think about Obama's physical appearance, the principal attribute they're likely to dwell on is his dark skin." Noah titled this aperçu "When 'Skinny' Means 'Black.' " By his logic, almost anything could be construed to mean "black." In other words, there was nothing that a critic might say about Obama that could not be interpreted as a racist attack on him. When Noah first wrote this, he was ridiculed widely. But not, it now is apparent, ridiculed widely enough.
The most conclusive rejoinder to the contention that "socialism" is a racist code word comes from a poll taken by the Democracy Corps (the firm founded by James Carville and Paul Begala), which delivered the verdict that while tea party protesters were insane by the partisan standards of Bill Clinton's backers, the protesters' concerns were what they said they were--taxes and spending; the expansion of government--and were not about race. The pollsters began discussions among older, white, and conservative voters and found "race was barely raised, [and] certainly not what was bothering them." Indeed, some tea partiers "talked about feeling some pride at [Obama's] election." Their flashpoint wasn't his race, but liberals' claim that racism was their motive. "The charge that opposition to Obama is racially motivated," the pollsters noted, "bothered conservative Republicans and independents alike. . . . [They] could not let it go and returned to the issue." They believed "the racism charge is being used to prevent them from stand[ing] up to Obama and his agenda. They see no difference in the opposition Obama faces and the opposition other liberals have faced." What's more, "they freely volunteered without any prompting that [Obama himself] was not part of this effort" to tar them--and focused their anger on Obama's media supporters instead.
Liberals fixate on the GOP's Southern strategy of the 1960s as the key to the modern Republican party, and for a time Nixon did court the Dixiecrats. But by 1980 the Reagans and Kemps had remade the party on a new set of issues and had formed new coalitions. Those active in the '60s and '70s are now in their sixties and seventies. Younger conservatives (which means most of them) grew up with integration, and take it for granted. They are obsessed not with race but with their causes and principles, oppose all who attack them, and embrace warmly and without reservation all who embrace their own causes. They venerate Thomas Sowell. They embrace Clarence Thomas (and his white wife), embrace Jeb Bush (and his Latina wife), support Marco Rubio against Charles Crist in Florida, and elect Bobby Jindal in Louisiana, which is as deep in the South as it gets. But to Obama's acolytes, the Old South is eternal. And so, when it's useful, are all of its old wars.
Liberals might take the political battles of the last year as they are--an ardent struggle over size-of-government and other first principles--but the emotional payoff would be nowhere near as satisfying. Why have a routine tug of war over taxes when you can replay a great moral drama, casting yourselves as the just and the righteous, and your foes as the ignorant and benighted rabble you know in your hearts that they are?
How large a part does pure condescension play in this story? Anyone wondering might take a look at these words of Joe Klein:
Teabaggers . . . are primarily working-class, largely rural, and elderly white people . . . freaked by the economy . . . also freaked by the government spending . . . that was necessary to avoid a financial collapse. (I'm not sure Keynes is taught in very many American high schools.) But most of all, they are freaked by an amorphous feeling that the America they imagined they were living in--Sarah Palin's fantasy America--is a different place now, changing for the worse, overrun by furriners of all sorts: Latinos, South Asians, East Asians, homosexuals . . . to say nothing of liberated, uppity, blacks.
Poor addled things, clinging to "God and guns out of bitterness." What a good thing that we are so much better, that we can see what they can't in their motives; can read hatred of "furriners" into a call for less government spending, and flip the association of the word "boy"--in connection with Barack Obama--into Joe Wilson's mind from our own. And then, having made them both haters and hateful, we can proceed to despise them, with all the insularity of which we claim they are guilty.
This is a farcical tic, not a serious argument: nothing but secondhand hate.
