Do bloggers have an obligation to wineries that wine and dine them?
When I was a working critic I was very particular about not letting wineries spend money on me. I had the reputation of not going out to lunch or dinner on the winery's dime. I did it every once in a while, but tried to keep it rare. I also was extremely fussy about letting wineries spend money on me in other ways. This was only partly because of Wine Enthusiast's policies; it also was because it didn't seem right to accept favors (food, travel, etc.) from a winery if I was going to say critical things about their wine. That would have seemed rude and ungrateful. On the other hand, if I said nice things about their wine, it might have given rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest. Better, then (in my judgment), to keep wineries and their money at arm's length (the sole exception being, of course, that I did accept free samples of their wines!).
Now, it appears that the issue of bloggers accepting freebies from wineries, and then not even bothering to write about them, has risen to prominence. Harpers.com, out of the U.K., has written a scathing editorial piece decrying bloggers who accept a winery's hospitality and then claim that their "freedom of speech" gives them the right to not even write about the winery. One Italian producer told Harpers, "If I invite a blogger to my winery, and after I have paid for all of the costs the blogger still thinks I am not worth a mention, it is his/her right to do so. [But] it is also obvious that I, the producer, will never again pay a cent for his/her freedom not to write."
The producer's umbrage is completely understandable, isn't it? The point I want to make here is that there are certain unstated but widely accepted rules in wine writing that include the notion of fairness. If a writer is to succeed longterm at being a success (not just a flash in the pan), the writer has to build up trust and affability among the wine producers she writes about. A wine writer with a bad name will find herself not accepted into the circle of wineries she hopes to cover. To get a good name in wine writing is the same thing as getting a good name anywhere and everywhere else: You have to play nice in the sandbox with the other kids. And if you take somebody's money, and then insult them—either through silence, or by excessive criticism—you're not playing nice, and word will travel, in this small playground we call the world of wine.
My generation of wine writers (whom I exult in running into whenever we're at an event) understood the etiquette of wine criticism. Nobody had to explain it to us; somehow, we just knew that it was wrong to accept a winery's largesse and then bite the hand that had just fed us. Since my main objective as a writer/critic was to tell the truth, I found myself decreasingly accepting largesse of any kind, because I didn't want my hosts to feel that I'd been an ungrateful little so-and-so.
Too many bloggers, however, apparently don't suffer from these inhibitions. They leave hurt feelings in their wake. This is why the Harpers article calls them "an endangered species" and adds this warning shot fired over their bow: "[B]loggers need to stay relevant just as any professional in the sector, and producers are starting to question whether the wine bloggers is, indeed, relevant." Finally, the writer states something I personally know to be true: "Wineries are beginning to distinguish the difference [between informed and relevant bloggers and those who are not], and are analyzing closely as to where they should spend their few available euros." Yes, marketers are drawing up their "A" list and their "Everybody else" list, and the A list is getting harder to get onto.
It's all about being professional, and not just have power because you can push a button on a keyboard and self-publish. The wine press has always been a place of politeness, decency and respect, and blogging hasn't and won't change that.
What's the different between "developing a strategy" for social media, versus just having fun?
Every social media advice book or article tells wineries to "develop a strategy" but nobody ever explains what a strategy is, or why you need one. So thousands of responsible winery personnel are left scratching their heads wondering if their "strategy" really is a strategy, or just a tactic.
Tactics, as we know from war, can be successful, but are relatively mundane efforts which may not affect the war's outcome. Strategies, on the other hand, are game-changers. In World War Two, the U.S. had many tactical victories in the Asian-Pacific theatre, but the strategical importance of the atomic bomb meant winning the war against Japan, not losing it.
I was never big on the concept of developing a strategy for social media because it seemed to me an exercise in silliness. What does it mean, anyway? How would you develop goals? And if you do, how do you measure them? How can you show the relationship between a desired outcome and any particular social media tactic? So I'm not sure that the use of these war metaphors, including strategies and tactics, is even appropriate. It makes social media seem so grim, which in reality social media should be fun and light-hearted.
This article, which reports that winemakers interviewed for a study "were not really sure what their strategy was," comes, then, as no surprise. Winemakers are not trained to look at things that way; besides, they're too busy to be developing strategies not directly tied to their main job, winemaking. The entire notion of a "strategy" implies grand, sweeping things, but few of us actually live our lives consciously planning grand, sweeping strategies. Mostly we hope for things, cross our fingers and do our best to make them come about.
The other thing the study, out of Australia, suggests is that consumers don't want to feel like they're the objects of some winery's strategy, anyway. It makes them feel like laboratory rats or guinea pigs, just some subservient factor in a grand strategist's game. That's not how people want to feel. They want to feel cherished—as the article states, when they go to a winery's social media, they want "something more personal and human, not a mass marketing message about buying the wine."
Ever since the whole social media phenomenon gained traction in the wine world as a possible way of driving sales and customer loyalty, I've been in the same position as Queen Elizabeth, whose role in Britain's political life is restricted to only three areas: "to be consulted, to encourage and to warn her ministers." I've tried to warn wineries not to be heavy-handed online, not to rush the consumer and clobber her over the head with a blatant sales pitch, not to view social media as the digital equivalent of a cash register—a tool only for venal ends. My attitude has been, your first duty in using social media is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If that somehow leads to more loyal customers and increased sales, it's frosting on the cake. But even if it doesn't, it's still cake.
I've also said that posts don't even have to be about wine. "[Consumers] are actually quite comfortable with seeing posts that might not necessarily be related to their wine or wine in general," the study's author concluded. What social media has enabled is a general de-mobilization of humankind. This is a grandiose statement but what I mean is that it is smashing down the barriers (nationality, age, physical location, etc.) that historically always divided us and is instead emphasizing our shared human-ness. It is almost a betrayal of trust to use social media in an insincere way. It's also a losing proposition, because insincerity comes across really clearly on social media.
But so does a good attitude. It may be odd that we've reached a point where people are more willing to buy things from people they like and trust but whom they know only online. In fact, it is odd, if you think about it. But it's also what it is: so my two cents remains what it always has been: Don't overthink social media. Don't be persuaded by "experts" that you need a "strategy" or otherwise it's all a big waste of time. The worst way to waste your time is to spend it on doing social media things you personally don't care for. Is that why you got into the wine business?
A nation that twitters together fritters together
This scares me: "Calvin Lee, a graphic designer, is a massive tweeter. 'I really can't stop,' he joked. In Twitterland, Lee has become a rock star. 'I've gone through life wondering what my 'thing' would be. I believe I've found it.' Lee describes himself as a 'social media ho. I tweet at least 200 times a day.' He has been quite successful, amassing nearly 80,000 followers. 'I was not very popular in high school,' Lee says, 'but now I'm like the big jock on campus.' Lee's growing influence has won him celebrity-status perks. In addition to a free Virgin Airlines flight to Toronto, brands have reached out to him and provided
- a brand new Audi A8 to test drive for a week
- hundreds of dollars in gift cards
- a pass to a House of Blues VIP event
- a free Samsung Focus smartphone
- flight, hotel and meals to attend an exclusive conference
- eight passes to the VH1 Do Something Awards
"Anybody has a chance to experience life on the other side of the velvet rope. Anyone who is willing to work for it…can have true celebrity status and all the associated perks."
The writer of all this is Mark W. Schaefer, whom I met while we were both on a recent panel. This quotes are from his new book, "Return on Influence: The Revolutionary Power of Klout, Social Scoring, and Influence Marketing."
[I edited the above remarks for brevity.]
I suppose if I were looking for the poster child of what I consider the dark side of social media, it would be this. Not Calvin Lee so much: he seems like a nice, ordinary dude who's enjoying his cool new freebies. No, it would be Mr. Schaefer, who celebrates Mr. Lee's "accomplishments" as though they were right up there with achieving something real and lasting and contributory to society, not to mention providing Mr. Lee with an actual living.
I don't gainsay Mr. Lee having his fun. I understand the world of swag. I don't think I ever did anything egregious, but heaven knows I've had some freebies in my day. However, two points: (a) I never exulted over them, nor considered them my 'thing,' and (b) I always understood they were irrelevant from the point of view of making a living. Test-driving an Audi and going to the House of Blues are fun, I suppose, but at the end of the day, I still need a paycheck to pay the bills. So what exactly does "being a tremendous success at social media and having a high Klout score" really mean to a person's life? Maybe Mr. Lee has found his 'thing,' and that's fine, if by 'thing' he means a hobby, like following the San Jose Sharks or collecting Pez containers. Everybody should have a nice, interesting hobby.
But to treat this kind of addiction to social media—especially if it's fueled by the hope of getting free stuff—as an admirable goal for a young person, is troubling. This is not something I think young people should view as an attractive potential way of making a living or spending one's time; nor do I think it's healthy for the larger society. In fact, it can be downright detrimental to making a living. If you work in an office, can you really tweet 200 times a day (not to mention all the other online activities you're probably engaged in) without your co-workers feeling some resentment that they're carrying your work load? Wouldn't your boss object? How would you concentrate on your work, anyway? I don't know Mr. Lee, but he seems like one of the people I see on the sidewalks of Oakland or San Francisco coming towards me with their heads down, eyes fixed on their smartphones: I'm the one who has to get out of the way to avoid a bodily collision.
I don't mean to entirely disparage Mr. Schaefer's thesis that an "epidemic of influence" by a new group of "Citizen Influencers" has the capability of reshaping our society in certain admirable ways. I love it that the street demonstrations in Tahrir Square, tweeted around the world, helped topple an ossified government in Egypt, or that instant "citizen reporting" from disaster zones informs people what's happening before the mainstream media even knows it. When Occupy Oakland was at its peak, I was in the middle of it, tweeting like mad, and people were thanking me for giving them the news before they got it anyplace else. I love staying in touch with my family and friends online, anytime, anywhere. I'm glad social media is in my life.
But we're talking about apples and oranges. There is a positive, plus side to Twitter and a side that should concern us all, when it turns into the mindless addiction to constant tweeting with the expectation of "celebrity perks" that, in the end, are worthless from a moral, family and human perspective. Is crashing the "velvet rope" to some kind of faux-"celebrity status" really what Millennials aspire to? If Mr. Lee reads this, I hope you find a "thing" that's more productive and lastingly satisfying than tweeting 200 times a day. It may mean less swag, but it could lead to a fuller life and a better job, and you might even discover that your neighbors are real people worth knowing.
O.K. , you have your social media data. Now, what good is it?
I asked it six years ago, five years ago, four, three and two years ago, and I'm asking it now. And it's not just me: That bastion of U.S. capitalism itself, the Wall Street Journal, is asking the same question. Under a five-column headline in last Monday's Marketplace section, they wondered "What is all that data worth?" (The online version of the article has a slightly different headline.)
The "data" they're referring to comes from "companies [that] traffic in information and use big-data analytic tools to find ways to generate revenue." If that sounds familiar, it's because it's been the underlying theme of every conversation about the revenue-generating possibilities of using social media.
We know beyond a doubt that the metrics of social media use are huge. Everybody is Facebooking, tweeting, Instagramming, pinning and so on. They're liking and following and retweeting each other like crazy. For this reason, wine companies feel, with "the fierce urgency of now," that they have to get onboard, before the train leaves the station. And indeed, as I've argued for many years, wineries should board that train. As I've suggested to anyone who's ever asked (and quite a few who haven't), winery personnel should engage in social media to the extent they feel capable of doing it.
But what I've wondered since Day One is what all these metrics, which are easy enough to obtain, mean. Reach, followers, friends, engagement, acquisitions, referrals, hits, unique visitors, bounce rates, click-through rates, conversions and all other ways to track activity—companies, including wineries, are pursuing them with a vengeance. Yet "The problem is that no one really knows what all that information is worth," says the Wall Street Journal article.
Such data is called an "intangible asset" because, unlike real estate, durable equipment and money in the bank, it has no objective value. This is not to suggest that data is valueless. As the article explains, data has value because "it allows [companies] to tailor their products and marketing to consumer preferences." For wineries, though, what does this mean? It's not at all clear that counting your Twitter followers, or measuring your online engagement rate, suggests anything at all in terms of strategy. "The squishy world of intangibles," writes the Wall Street Journal, means that "Data is worthless if you don't know how to use it to make money."
That statement is patently true on its face. But there's a more fundamental question: What if social media data, in and of itself, is incapable of being used to make money? Even if real-time data gives you some true insight into your (potential) customer's online behavior, "Information on individual users loses value over time as they move or their tastes change," making data "a perishable commodity." Data looks real and solid enough: after all, what can seem more representative of reality than numbers on a page or screen?
But as we all know, statistics can be slippery or, to use the Journal's word, "squishy." I used to get in trouble with some of social media's adherents by asking them how they "knew" that engaging in social media made money. The answer always was a form of "We can't prove it, but we somehow believe it." Occasionally, someone would cite a winery that was doing social media bigtime and whose sales were rising. But even if the connection between doing social media and selling cases could be established directly (which it couldn't), I always wondered if the winery's success had legs—if it could be replicated over time, because, after all, any winery can have a good quarter, but wind up on the butcher's block.
Lest any of this be interpreted to suggest that I don't think social media has value, or that every winery shouldn't be exploring it, let me go on the record: If you're a wine company, you should be doing social media. Period. End of story. What I am saying—or, really, asking—is the same question I've posed since 2008: What is all that data worth? If you don't like the question don't blame me, blame the Wall Street Journal's headline writers for coming up with it in the business paper of record.

DTC, snobs and market segmentation: A personal view
"Wines delivered to your door" has been the business theme of direct-to-consumer entrepreneurs since as long as I can remember.
I used to be a member of one of these subscription services, back in the early 1980s. I can't remember the name (I'm sure someone out there will remind me), but they sold German wines that "arrived at your door" on a monthly basis. I didn't continue, because I eventually reached the point where I preferred shopping for wine myself, in a store, especially if I could taste it or see a recommendation—and that is the point of this post.
There's now another "delivered to your door" service, Club W, and while I wish them well, I don't see how they overcome the challenges that led to failure of almost every one of these ventures.
They all promise the ease and convenience of having pre-selected wines that arrive at your door once a month. They all say the wines are "curated" by experts or, in this case, actually produced for Club W "by noteworthy winemakers who develop their 'juice' for Club W exclusively." And they all make claims that they offer lower prices [even with shipping?] than traditional outlets.
That may well be true in Club W's case. The claim that their "exclusive" winemakers "have great talent but may lack access to capital enough to get their wines made and into the market" certainly rings true. That is a common challenge for winemakers, especially younger ones, who may have access to interesting grapes, and are making interesting wines, but have no realistic way of getting them to far-flung customers.
What are those wines? I went to Club W's website and tried it out. They ask you to answer a couple of (kind of silly) questions, and then, after you give them an email, Facebook or Twitter account, they "recommend" appropriate wines. For me, they suggested three brands I've never heard of: a Wonderful Wine Co. red blend from Paso Robles, a Black Market Cabernet-Petit Verdot blend from Livermore, and Casa de Lila Airén, a white wine from Spain. Beyond these three wines, there are others on the website I could buy. They all have attractive labels, and I wish I could go to a tasting and try them out, because at $13 a bottle, that's pretty affordable. There's also a "Curator's Choice" menu for wines costing $14 and up.
Now, any and all of these might be wonderful wines. Or they might not. The problem is, even thought they're just $13 a bottle, I don't want to buy a pig in a poke: A wine I'm not familiar with. Under their "Tastemakers" dropdown menu they have the names and pictures of folks I guess are some of their winemakers: a fine-looking bunch of men and women, young and appealing. There's also a cool recipes link. That's all good.
So I have mixed feelings. A lot of thought obviously has gone into Club W. The website is really nice. But I just don't see how they get around the fact that you can't taste the wines before you buy, or even see what the critics have said, since they're club exclusives and have never been professionally reviewed. (I do make an exception for winery wine clubs: people join them because they know and trust those wines, so even if they haven't had the latest vintage, they possess plenty of prior evidence that they're much more likely to enjoy the wine than not.)
Finally, although this isn't Club W's fault, I hate the way the Wall Street Journal portrayed Club W; their headline reads "Club W Raises $9.5 Million To Appeal to Wine Lovers, Not Snobs." Can we please get over this "snobs vs. everybody else" nonsense? I mean, does Lettie Teague write for the "Snobs" in the WSJ? I have news for you: All wine writers write for the people who read them; all wineries produce wine for the people who buy them. There are indeed snobs in the world of wine, as there are in other arenas, but they are the exception to the rule, and to toss the word "snob" around so much is really misleading to young people, who may end up thinking that wine isn't for them because they're not snobs and don't like being around snobs.
Instead, why can't we talk about beginners, amateur wine lovers and experts? The experts aren't "snobs," they just have a lot of experience, nor are the beginners "idiots" because they have little experience. Some "beginners" will be "experts" someday; will that make them "snobs"? So really, anyone (writer, blogger, winery, ad agency) who throws around the snob word so insouciantly is just indulging in lazy language that moreover insults a significant number of wine lovers.
And then there are new wine companies targeting everybody: I got this blast email from one of them just this morming: I omit the winery's name: "We here at ___ have created a wine that will capture thegrowing new generation of social media savvy, adventurous, health consciouswine drinkers as well as the seasoned, more experienced ones." Talk about something for everyone! Beginners, Millennials, twitterers, greenies and granola munchers, Baby Boomers, old folks, and snobs. Sic semper, market segmentation!

Cuddyer starts at 2B in Hudson's place
Updated: June 1, 2010, 2:04 AM ETESPN.com news services
SEATTLE -- Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson received good news from tests on his surgically repaired left wrist: There's no structural damage following a scary collision with teammate Denard Span.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said Monday that the four-time Gold Glove winner had a CT scan, after initial X-rays were inconclusive.
The scan showed only remnants of old injuries. Hudson reported increased movement in the wrist on Monday, and Twins general manager Bill Smith said in an e-mail ...

Associated Press Release
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- A jury has awarded $37.5 million in damages to the family of a South Florida smoker who died of lung cancer in 1995.
The award was for the Broward County family of Laura Grossman, who died at age 38. The verdict includes $22.5 million in punitive damages against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
The company will appeal. Its attorneys argued Grossman knew the dangers of smoking because cigarettes had warning labels when she started.
Grossman attorney Scott Schlesinger said teenagers like her were targeted by tobacco companies.
The case is one of thousands filed in Florida after the state Supreme Court in 2006 tossed out a $145 billion class action verdict. That ruling also said smokers and their families need only prove addiction and that smoking caused their illnesses or deaths.

My 22 month old daughter still isnt talking, she says very few words, How can I help her to talk?
She seems to understand what I'm asking her but refuses to say any word. She says baby, ya, mama, dada, hi, fish, bye bye.. and thats it. I'm concerned that she may be behind in vocabulary. When she wants something she whines and points.. I have always talked to her using correct language..( even when she was an infant) for example when shes hungry she signs the word for eat instead of saying "eat" what should I do? please help!! Thank you! -Laura Burl, VT

my son has speech delays as well. i had him evaluated and he was ineligible.. they also told me not 2 worry too much right now just wait it out til about he is 2 1/2 if there isnt a change then just have him evaluated again. but yes i agree with others that have posted before me, have ur daughter evaluated early its best 2 know then just wonder.. =]posted 06/22/2010 by kelly180
any time you suspect a developmental or language delay, you should work towards having your child evaluated by a speech pathologist with training in young children, in this case, or pediatric physical therapist, or occupational therapist. many pediatricians tell parents to wait and see, and many times these are the kids who go on to need intervention and spend much of their lives trying to catch up. if an adult went in for a health evaluation and was told, "there is nothing wrong, you don't have cancer" would you ask for your money back or be disappointed? No, you'd be glad you spent the time and resources to be reassured as a parent. More often than not, kids need help and don't get it until they are too far behind. What's the down side to having them evaluated? The earlier they get help, the research proves the better off they are. You owe it to your kid to find out. Many local pre-schools can give you names of reputable professionals to help you. Best wishes.posted 10/20/2009 by EMS999
get your child evaulated don't wait!!! my son was evaluated at 15 months due to me nagging my pediatrician during an appt to really take the time to look at him during that appt as opposed the the 15 minutes they normally take. he did finally agree and saw the things that had concerned me. my son was completed languaged delayed and had some fine motor issues. at 15 months of age his language was 3-6 months at best. he was immediately put in speech and occupational therapy and i am happy to say at 22 months we have seen a major improvement!!! i believe most states provide early start programs which provide free services services. the belief in the medical community is, help now may prevent help in elementary or even long term help and may completely circumvent the need for help later. the "gesell developmental scale" for an 18 month old is 20-29 words combining 2-3 words. dont wait, dont listen to anyone else, you know your child best. good luck to you!!posted 04/17/2009 by winkydinky
My 3 year old was the same way and i finally had to take her to a behavior specialist that specializes in speech and she said that for every word your child says make a sentence that is at least one word longer then it and repeat it back to your child... for example: she says, "car" i would say, "blue car" and then show her the blue car. or if she said "eat" i would say "mackenzie eat" and then ask her waht she wanted. when she started to use two or three word phrases like "baby hungry" i would give her the correct sentence structure... " the baby is hungry" and now she talks better the most kids her age... and it has only been three monthes of doing this method of teaching... just to note that mhy daughter started this process with a 60 word vocabulary at 3 years of age... and now has a 4-5 year olds vocabulary. it worked for her which isn't to say it will work for everyones kids but a few extra seconds made a lot of difference.posted 02/17/2009 by vegasfinnelli
Same thing happened with my 3 year old when she was younger, I called early intervention and the agreed she was very inteligent but, she didn't have to use her words because we knew what she wanted and gave things to her when she would point and grunt. OUr second baby was born two weeks after lily's second birthday and her speech just took off after that. I think his speech will come in time.posted 01/06/2012 by delilahblue
My daughter is 16 months and speaks in sentences. Ive always talked with her and not to her, repeating words 3 and 4 times and pointing to things. Im not sure if thats why she talks so much but it wasnt until she got tubes in her ears that she started talking. Has your childs hearing been tested regularly? Does she have chronic ear infections? We also started sign language at around 7 months old and now she signs and says the word also. Try using sign language first with her. She will catch on!posted 11/23/2011 by wsugradstef06
As a speech pathologist, if my 22-month old female still says no words (and keep in mind that approximations count, like ba-ba for bye-bye or baba for ball)I would take her for a formal speech evaluation. the AVERAGE 18-month old has 50 words and is combining some words, so think about it in terms of average....posted 05/26/2008 by certavt2
The key issue here is that you encouraged her to use sign language to communicate. Every child I have encountered that was taught baby sign relies heavily on it even it after they should be using spoken language. It is not an issues of whether or not she is able to speak it is that she would rather do the more familiar thing which for she is signing. Stop responding to her signs require that she attempt to speak to receive food, drinks, etc.posted 01/07/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
If she understands what is being said to her, I wouldn't say she's behind in "vocabulary", because she knows words. I believe she either has an expressive language delay or she may be dealing with an oral motor planning problem, such as developmental verbal dyspraxia (or sometimes referred to as childhood apraxia of speech). Without seeing her, I couldn't tell you if she has symptoms of this - but it doesn't even mean that she necessarily has ANYTHING wrong or delayed. What I really want to stress is that you definitely get it checked out - and by now, I'm sure you have seeing that this is an old post - but I know people still read these, and it saddens me when people tell others to wait - especially pediatricians! They don't know ANYTHING about speech and language development, as I've experienced in their "script" writing for coming to me for speech and language therapy - they never know what to write on the script because they just aren't educated enough about it. Don't wait!!!posted 10/12/2008 by Snappdragon28
My son did much the same thing. Don't worry. If she can say something, its not that she can't learn, but that you need to encourage her to learn. When I recognized that my son was doing the same thing as your daughter, I starting making him use words in order to get treats and toys. If he wanted something, he had to say "please" and the name of the thing. He immediately starting saying "pop please" (popcicle please) and many other phrases.posted 04/01/2011 by Rach666

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Kahlúa
- 2 teaspoons Nocello
- 2 teaspoons Frangelico
- 1 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 8 ounces Callebaut bittersweet chocolate
- 3/4 cup whipped cream
This recipe contains: Wheat
Recipe notes: When making this dessert at his restaurant, chef DiBianca cuts the cake into 1-inch squares. He serves the cake with strawberries, brandied cherry syrup, and fried mint.
Drunken S'more Cake
Michael DiBianca
Moro Wilmington, DE
A riff on the composition of a s'more, this dessert was the finale of Michael DiBianca's playful and flavorful Beard House dinner. His version calls for the nutty Nocello and Frangelico, but we think that fruity liqueurs, like Grand Marnier or Chambord, would work nicely, too.
Yield: 8 servings
To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Pack mixture into a springform pan, completely covering the bottom and sides. Chill for 2 hours.
To make the filling, combine the egg yolks and the confectioner's sugar and whisk until pale yellow. Add the salt, vanilla, Kahlúa, Nocello, and Frangelico and whisk together. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then add the cocoa powder and chocolate. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Add the yolk mixture to the chocolate mixture and whisk together. Fold in the cream. Pour the mixture into the crust-lined springform pan and chill for 6 hours.

Android TV gets 'live' TV app, but no content
Streaming video is a proven winner, and just about everyone is getting in on the cable-cutting. Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Android TV all vie for a place behind or next to your TV. All do about the same thing, too, in feeding you content via Netflix or a similar service. A new app on Google Play suggests Android TV may be trying to distance itself from the pack by offering up live content. Whether or not that will work is another matter entirely.

Can someone explain what the advantage is of being friends here? I have none and consider myself therefore a friend of all. What is gained by putting somebody in a list?
You can challenge them to a live game. Also its more fun to taunt them if you win because they can't so easily disappear.
Hmm... I think I can see an issue here, apart from the psychopathic look.
Forgive me for laughing so hard... It's the psychopatic look... That is called stalking, perfect idiot, you are aware of that, right?
I wasn't being serious of course...duh! Its called humour ...thats my nature I like smiling a lot
they have every right, i only allow people i know to be my friend
I've rejected quite a few friend's requests on this site, usually because they're too young but I always send a separate message afterwards to thank them & explain why I'm unable to accept - that's just good manners.
Of course it would be really useful if the request itself had a messaging facility built in but no-one seems to have thought of that!
Isn't it the case ?
i need all the friends i can get. if someone wants to be my friend just send in the request. guaranteed no refusals!
You already have 82 friends - how many more do you want?
I never had a Facebook account, but now I begin to grasp the fascination some people seem to have with it ...
I'd never turn down a friend request either, btw.
TheBigDecline, what possible fascination could you possibly derive from facebook, unless you are a person that is intellectually and emotionally deprived? It's full of idiots for goodness sake, who talk all day about inconsequential rubbish as if any of it were important. I'd rather someone tie me in a chair and prop my eyes open with matchsticks and force me to watch Jeremy Kyle than start usining the facebook site again. (I kicked it into touch years ago.)
Your opponent is your enemy - after all he or she is after your king, not your companionship!
Speak for yourself Lewis. I come on this site to play chess. I do know what you are saying has a ring of truth to it though. I have a female friend that I've known for years, long before this website was even in existence. She isn't all that pretty, yet she gets lots of guys trying to hit on her here.
well , nothing personal , maybe they just didn't see your request or maybe they don't wanna be busy by accepting friend request ( they just wanna go to live chess directly) .. ,

In this paper, a deep bandgap behavior analysis of the vertical cascaded electromagnetic-bandgap (EBG) structure is made. It is shown that the vertical cascaded EBG structure can be decomposed into two EBG structures cascaded horizontally, one with the bigger patches and the other with the smaller patches. The design guidelines of the vertical cascaded EBG structure are drawn. Furthermore, the vertical cascade concept is extended to 3-D cascade for wideband simultaneous switching noise (SSN) suppression. The number of rows of patches for noise coupling reduction is investigated. Building SSN isolation walls along a printed circuit board for wideband electromagnetic-interference reduction and along sensitive devices for SSN isolation using a 3-D cascaded EBG structure is proposed. Simulations and measurements are performed to verify the SSN suppression. High performance is observed.

That's a strange choice of tennis shoe! Portia de Rossi arrives on court wearing wellington boots as she films new scenes for Arrested Development
It was a comedy series well known for its zany plot lines, hilarious characters and cult following.
So perhaps it was no surprise that there was a touch of the bizarre to Arrested Development's filming on Friday.
Portia de Rossi stepped out on a tennis court wearing a pair of black Wellington boots, casual trousers and a baggy sweatshirt as she reprised her role of spoiled activist Lindsay Bluth.
Scroll down for video...
These boots are made for walking: Portia de Rossi showed off her newly cropped hairstyle on the set of Arrested Development on Friday, where she is reprising her role as Lindsay Bluth
She looked happy and relaxed as she strode across the court, later filming a scene with her mother Lucille Bluth, played by Jessica Walter.
There was more bizarre antics nearby with Tony Hale shooting a scene as Lindsay's younger brother Buster Bluth.
Complete with a bejewelled hand, Buster sported a blue double breasted women's coat and broke into a run before performing a clumsy salute to some passing army corps.
Portia recently revealed that nothing seemed to have changed in the six years after the show was cancelled due to poor viewing figures.
Back to his old tricks: Tony Hale sported a women's blue coat and a jewelled hook as he made a clumsy salute to passing army corps on the set today
Running man and his mother: At one point, Tony broke into a run along the street, while Jessica Walter brandished a tennis racquet for a scene with Portia
She recently described the first day on the Arrested Development set to Entertainment Weekly: 'Everybody looked exactly the same and they acted exactly the same, both in character and in between takes,' she said.
'Body language was the same, the same old jokes, the same old eye rolls. It was really amazing.'
The cast, who include Michael Cera and Justin Bateman, have been spotted over Los Angeles filming new episodes to be shown on Netflix next spring.
Bateman, 43, has been leaking pictures to his 652,000 Twitter followers in order to hype the exciting return of the cult ensemble comedy.
Workaholic: Bateman posted a picture from the first day on set where Comedy Central show Workaholics stars Anders Holm and Adam DeVine can be seen on camera at Burbank Airport
Bateman posted a
picture from the first day on set where Comedy Central show Workaholics
stars Anders Holm and Adam DeVine can be seen on camera at Burbank
Airport, and there's talk that Blake Anderson and Erik Griffin will also
Other recently leaked paparazzi
images revealed that original cast members Portia and David
Cross, who was seen hiding under a white sheet, would also appear in the
Bateman also took two pictures of a smiling Cera on the old model home set as well as his Gangee's hotel room, but there is still no sign of the stair car, Carl Weathers, or Gene Parmesan.
Tony Hale, who plays fan favourite
Buster Bluth, whose hand was bitten off by a seal in the previous
season, spoke about what he hopes will become of his mommy's boy
Sneak peak: Bateman also took two pictures of a smiling Cera on the old model home set as well as his Gangee's hotel room, but there is still no sign of the stair car, Carl Weathers, or Gene Parmesan
'So much has happened to him. I hope that he's had some kind of rest,' Hale recently told Hollywood.com.
'But if it's been as chaotic as those
two-and-a-half years were, I just hope he's still alive...Maybe Buster
has been in a coma these past six years. He's just waking up for the
episodes. He's like, "Wait a second. Six years have passed?"'
Hale is especially excited at the idea of Liza Minelli returning to possibly cameo as Lucille 2.
Tony continued, 'I do hope that he is
still involved, somewhat, with Lucille 2. Because I would love to see
Liza Minelli again...The whole time that I was on the show, I was
consistently surprised. "Wait, my hand is coming off?" "I'm dating Liza
Minelli?" I enjoyed the shock of it."
Premiere episode script? The show's narrator and executive producer Ron Howard posted a picture of the 'Michael' script, which most believe will be the season premiere episode
'Loving being back': Howard also shared this picture of fellow executive producer Mitch Hurwitz with his 369,000 Twitter followers
Back in April, executive producer
Mitch Hurwitz revealed at 'A Bluth Family Reunion' panel at the The New
Yorker Film Festival that each of the 10 episodes would focus on one of
the show's main characters.
Last month, the show's narrator and
executive producer Ron Howard posted a picture of the 'Michael' script
for his 369,000 Twitter followers, which most believe will be the season
premiere episode.
'Very very funny :-) Lots of lines for the narrator too!' said Howard, who also tweeted about the 'hilarious scripts' and how much 'everybody is loving being back.'
Once the season airs next year, Hurwitz will then determine whether or not to follow the show up with a feature film.

Oly 45mm 1.8 on 1st outing at Seattle Pride Parade (nt)

Pride parades are not easy
Pride parade s became so much of a circus that I find it difficult to get emotional shots. I think you did well. On the other hand, it's great that they are becoming more of a celebration than a protest, on the other hand I think the festive looks often detract from the issues of unequal treatment and xenophobia.

Yeah, that would work. I wouldn't mind Kitaru getting a little beaten up because getting into fights he can win is in character for Kitaru.

Well I think that if Ethan just starts to analyze Kitaru's behavior then Kitaru will eventually snap. The tricky thing would be pushing his buttons to make him want to battle Ethan instead of just beat him up. I would say that Kitrau's honor should be used as leverage but if you have any better ideas then just go with them.
One idea could be have the fight first then meet Ethan who notes that Kitaru has been in a fight and has bruises consitant with fighting a lot (or something like that any way). It being suggested that Kitaru is a fighter he would likely battle for his honor despite the fact he gets into fights all the time XD

I'd been looking for a simple drum pendant for some time and decided to give this one a try. Some that I looked at were SO expensive, and I didn't feel like sinking $500 into one, so this was a good option. I knew that I wasn't going to receive something with exceptional quality given the price, so with that in mind this light fit the bill. It's okay for the money. Be warned, though - the color is described, as "antique copper", which is baloney pure and simple. The metal is black. Also, don't throw away the round piece at the bottom of the box which appears to be a heavy-duty piece of cardboard. It's the diffuser with a brown paper wrapping/sticker placed over it.
Easy to put together and as pictured. Didn't give 5 stars because the rod is not as sturdy as I would like. We use it over the dining room table. Looks really nice.
Shame on me for trusting the picture and not reading. The fixture finish looks black in the picture but it is copper, as stated. But the most disappointing thing to me is that the plastic difuser is rimmed in chrome. That is very ugly and distracting to me. I'm making due because I needed the light, but I will be replacing soon.
we installed this lamp with the protective wrap still on - wish we'd taken it off first, as we will now uninstall before returning. the metal frame of the lamp itself is bent on bottom and side, the shade material is dented, and the light filter at the bottom is cracked in several places. the shipping box is *not* damaged, nor is the metal square that was placed around the shade for protection during shipping, indicating that the product sustained this damage before packaging or shipping. we will look for a better-looking product, though this would have been ok without the damage; not going to take the chance of getting another damaged one.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. moderate to poor
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? moderate
The light fixture came on time and in good condition.My only problem is,when the fixture was hung I noticed it is very slightly crooked and the seam is quite large.Overall the fixture is good but, next time I will pay more money for a proper light fixture.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? the hardwear did not.
- How is the quality of the product? the qualty if fair for the price
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
Overstock customer service was exceptional when the first pendant arrived damaged. The replacement arrived just a few days later. It is definitely not a high-end product; the metal finish looks cheap, but once it was installed it looks great in the room. It's large and fills the space nicely. Nex time I probably would opt to spend a bit more and get a higher quality product.
I wasn't expecting much given the reviews and the price of this fixture but it did fill the bill for what we wanted in our new area. It arrived on time, is the right size for our space, and is not bad looking. The metal rods even match the table over which it hangs. The problem was in the installation. It was missing an extender that was vital so my installer went to get one. Not expensive and not too frustrating. All the other parts were present. BUT, the screws were not long enough so back to Home Depot only to discover on return that because the bar (?) was not moveable, it was almost impossible to get one's fingers where they needed to be. What should have taken 15-30 minutes has now taken several hours and the man who is installing it has threatened to pay me to hire someone else to do the job. So, if you purchase this lamp, beware. It's haunted.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? The price and the quality match, mediocre.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes but the reviews prepared me better for what I received
This is a great light! Exactly what I was looking for. Was not too sure about the color of the hardware from the pic on the internet, but it is better than I expected. Looks great in my new dining room. Really easy to install, easy to follow directions.
This item was nothing like the picture when I received it. The picture shows a black pole...item is actually brushed copper color. The shade has a major seam on one side and is tilting when hung. Poor quality. Also, you can see the inside brackets through the shade which the picture doesn't show. Overall, thought the product was of poor quality.
Beautiful product. Exactly what I wanted- easy to install, looks exactly like the picture, gives a lot of light into our dark room. Delivery was really fast.
I have been searching for the perfect chandelier for my simple style. Most were too ornate. This one creates a soft glow that makes my dining room a perfect place to use. I was afraid it was going to be too big at first, but even in my 20' x 16' room it balances. We did have a really difficult time putting it together (the directions are not helpful), but we eventually got it up our way. I agree with the other comment that the bottom of the chandelier is a little cheap looking. But I too took it right off and it made the whole thing look much more expensive. The rod iron is more of a copper-painted hue, but it fits with rod iron items. Overall, I'm really satisfied with it and couldn't find a better price than this!
Lamp arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It is a simple design and perfect over a dining table. It is just what I was looking for. Went to a few stores but should have just gone to Overstock. They saved me time and money.
This is my favorite item so far. The lamp is just as it is presented. Simple, clean lines I can't wait to hang it! A bargain price helps too!
The diffuser was broken when it arrived. I just decided to take it off and install without it. That was the only negative. It looks great!
The chandelier arrived within a couple of days and was packaged very well. It looks exactly like the picture. I agree with others that the silver-colored edging on the diffusor is very cheezy, but I simply removed it!! It peeled right off and looks just great. Also, I found a crystal elongated teardrop that attaches (by magnet) to the finial that really makes the piece look even more elegant. Now, I haven't installed it as of yet, but confident that it will install fantastically. Overall a great buy.
I've been looking around for a drum shade chandelier, but they are really expensive in the stores and on-line. I thought I would try this one out even though I was concerned it may not be big enough. I was very surprised how large, yet sleek it is! My husband easily connected it. I like that it has several bars that screw together so you can get the right length, we have high celings and there was plenty of length to work with. The light is nice an diffused, perfect for dining.
I've been looking for a plain drum shade chandelier for a long time. You see them on the home improvement shows all the time--probably only available in New York and California. I can't believe there aren't more options in the rest of the country. They are really soft and beautiful over a dining room table. Most of the ones I've seen online have way more extra "stuff" hanging around, on, and under them, and this makes them look awful IMHO. Anyhow, this pendant chandelier is a very low cost choice but it does the job just fine. The only thing I really don't like is the shiny silver border around the diffuser. A diffuser is a must on these types of chandeliers so I'm glad there is one, and I don't even care that it is plastic. There's also the problem of making it perfectly level, but maybe that is a problem with all wide pendant chandeliers. With these minor complaints, however, I still have to say that it looks great in my dining room.
The chandelier came about a week and a half after ordering it and was well packaged. Although the picture made it look as though the metal was black or at least dark, the one I received was an antiqued copper color. The bottom of the cylinder has a plastic disc to diffuse the light which I felt did not match the rest of the lamp (it is a bright white disk of plastic rimmed with silver). It was easy to remove by unscrewing the round bobble at the bottom of the light, and I think looks a lot better without it. It is a great item for the price.
The shade is of good quality however the finish is awful! The metal is black but then it looks like someone with a big, fat paint brush swooshed some gold paint on there. Because of the low price and the fact that the overall light fixture was a great shape, I ended up just painting the metal with a brushed nickel paint. It looks much better!
1. The hardeware is not bronze; it is more of a copper painted finish. 2. The diffuser is a very shiny white, with a chrome rim. It's an ok lamp, just not as described. I was particularly disturbed by the chrome on the bottom - that's what you see when it's hanging. I sent it back.

Run these steps first. I see you reinstalled. Run the other troubleshooting options, particularly in the second article.
If you see a blue screen at startup - Support - Apple

If it persists, run the Apple hardware test. It could be your logicboard ...specifically thinking your discrete GPU since this has been such a big issue for these models.

I runned Apple Hardware test for at least 10 times. The result was no errors.
I can not start apple in safe mode as I get blue screen. In apple recovery mode, I can run macbook for 10h with no blue screen and etc.
Could be HD?
Is Apple hardware test reliable?
I also read a lot threats about this issues. Why apple pretending that this is not an issue with this models if there are so many threats about this issues and forums...
I guess I will nevery buy Apple again, this is my second macbook pro. Fist was this with nvida issue.
THanks anyone for help!!!

Use Internet Recovery to install OS X on a external drive and boot from it.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Test and grab your files off the internal drive if necessary
Then reset your Mac from Internet Recovery, not RecoveryHD
BTW, you must have done something like this already as your OS X boot volume is named "Untitled"

Use DSstore instructions. The recovery volume is a hidden partition on your disk, which ML creates upon installation. Use internet recovery....first you should move all your data to an external HD, then you should wipe your whole drive. I would recommend a 1X pass erase if you have a traditional HDD. If you have a SSD, this is not an option because it isn't necessary. Subsequently you can reinstall the OS, not from your native recovery partition (which is now gone), but from Apple's server.
I went also to apple shop, they did tests and said that all HW tests are ok and it should be something software related.
The hardware test used by Apple in shop includes testing your drive. The Apple Hardware Test available to users at home only tests your RAM and logicboard. If your machine was okay after running tests at the Apple store, your drive is fine.

OK, but is it reliable? If do not show any errors is this 100% sure that HW is ok?
A already clean my whole drive, but stil the same. Osx was working work about 10min, after reboot, here we go again with grey screen...
Apple hardware test finds nothing, I guess in apple servis did also other tests and they say is ok. I am try for at least 10 times that I can access apple recovery menu, as I am getting all the time blue screens.
Why is apple refusing to refound this or something like that if there are so many threats about this issue?

This is not software related. You did a clean wipe of your whole drive via internet recovery. This cannot be software related if the same issue persists right off the bat. This is an issue with your hardware. If it passed the Apple Hardware Test (at home, ran by you), it is most likely a bad hard drive. Take the machine back to an Apple retail store (not any third party shop) and have them run a full and extensive diagnostics test to pinpoint the faulty hardware.

Tnx nbar!
If apple hw test shows no error, logic board should be ok?
I will try to replace HD and to see if this help.
p.s.: they said that they did all HW test and everything is ok.

Partnership all about boosting fitness
By: Loryll Nicolaisen, Journal Staff Writer
Auburn Elementary students are starting to get some serious workouts. With the help of recently installed equipment, students can now improve their physical fitness by taking their pick between a bright-red-and-blue horizontal ladder, a sit-up bench, a climbing pole, and pull-up, vault and parallel bars, Auburn Elementary is one of 22 area schools reaping the benefits from a partnership between Sutter Health and Project Fit America, a program that began in 2005 as a way to promote healthy living and fitness for youth. Sutter Health provides the funding for the equipment needed to execute Project Fit America drills and exercises, which a group of Auburn Elementary fifth-graders demonstrated Monday afternoon during a kick-off celebration. "Childhood obesity, right now, is a nationwide health crisis," said Mitch Hanna, chief administrative officer of the Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital. "Staying fit and eating the right foods are important." Fifth-grader Kayci Hedden demonstrated how to do pull ups as her classmates watched. "It's to keep us all in shape and not get sick," she said of the equipment. Andy Stockwell said the monkey bars were his favorite piece of Project Fit America equipment. "They make you get up and in shape, and you stretch your arms," the fifth-grader said. "It's almost like a gym, but outside." Maddie Schnepp, fifth-grader and Auburn Elementary student body president, thinks her classmates will benefit from the new equipment. "It's so they can do more activities so they don't just lay around at home and watch TV and play video games," she said. Sam Schug, Auburn Elementary principal, said students are allowed to use the new equipment during physical education, but only then, so they can be supervised and learn how to properly use the equipment instead of just considering it an extension of the playground. "We want this to be physical equipment," he said. Schug said the equipment is quite popular already. "I've had teachers come and schedule extra PE time to come down here, because it's so packed," he said.
