-Tap on a pipe or wall to alert rescuers- DON'T SHOUT (it may cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust)
ATLANTA -- The Washington Monument and Washington, D.C. schools remain closed Wednesday following Tuesday's rare magnitude 5.8 earthquake.
PHOTO GALLERY: D.C. earthquake
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered in Mineral, Va., but more than 12 million people could feel it shaking. Reports came in from as far north as Toronto, as far west as Detroit, and as far south as Metro Atlanta.
INTERACTIVE MAP: Did you feel the earthquake?
Only minor injuries were reported.
However, as a precaution, parts of the Pentagon, the White House and the U.S. Capitol were evacuated after the quake hit at 1:51 p.m. All the monuments and memorials were closed along the National Mall.
Most of them have reopened, including the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. However, the Washington Monument will remain closed indefinitely after the discovery of cracks near the top.
Earlier reports putting Tuesday's quake's magnitude at a 5.9 were revised downward to a 5.8.
It came one day after another rare earthquake shook parts of southern Colorado.
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency said shaking from Tuesday's quake was felt in parts of Barrow, Chatham, Fayette, Fannin, Fulton, Glascock, Hall, Heard, Gwinnett, McDuffie, Muscogee, Troup, Rabun and Spalding. 11Alive News has received other reports from across North Georgia including Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Henry, Clayton and other counties.
According to the Tellus Science Museum, the largest earthquake in Georgia's history was centered near the Clarks Hill Reservoir in 1974. That quake was a magnitude 4. The most recent quake before Tuesday was a mag 2.6 back in May.
The biggest quake on the East Coast was a 7.3 centered in Charleston in 1886, and that one is dwarfed by the legendary New Madrid Earthquakes in Missouri in late 1811 and early 1812, which topped out at a magnitude 8.1.

So, we all saw the thread of 10 most hated hockey players. I want to see who YOU, the fan, hates the most. Now its tough to hate someone, when you really dont know them, but lets hear who you hate, because of their style of play and the way they act.
My most hated player, is Scott Hartnell. Something about him, just makes me want to see one of the Bruins or any player for that matter, beat his arse. Oh and the hair style is the worst in the league.

No matter. Keep bringing it up, and i'll keep beating the horse.
Obviously you think it an unethical shot, and a long ways away. It probably is for you.
Old Hunter, one word answer to the How do I know what the wind is doing at 100 yards? : MIRAGE!
I shoot at 1000-1400 yards every week for competition.
Why not... Here we go The reason this is so controversial is because it is unethical. It doesn't matter how good of a shot you are or how often you practice, it is a matter of what happens when that animal takes a half step at a 1000 yards and your point of aim went from behind the front shoulder to in the a$$. And if you say you can only do it if the conditions are perfect, you're not being honest with us and more importantly yourself. Because the only way the condition exist, of the animal not being capable of moving, is if it is bedded, and bedded animals vitals aren't exposed at that distance. If you shoot at that distance it is only time before an animal is wounded and not recovered. We, at one time or another will experience losing an animal but shooting at long distances will greatly increase your odds. And I should clarify, all of this is in reference to a numbers game. You might get away with it a few times but I am referring to people who consistently harvest high numbers of animals on an annual basis.
There we go That's my 2 cents
Last edited by Montana; 03-31-2012 at 02:08 PM.
I think we all are missing the point here. We will all never see eye to eye on how we hunt, what we hunt or what we use to harvest the animals we hunt. Our passion is always under attack by people that do not understand why we do what we do. We all have to agree to disagree and stick together to keep this passion alive. Thats just my 2cents.
Can the animal see, smell, or hear you at 1000yds? Other than the shot. What skills do you need to hunt at 1000yds?
Just because I don't like sitting behind a reloading bench turning brass to within a micron doesn't mean I don't respect someone that does (I do enjoy reloading though). Just because I don't shoot iron sights much anymore (I did for many, many years and I guess I shoot one white tail doe a year with a Savage 99 that was my grandpa's) doesn't mean I don't respect someone who does. Just because I don't (or can't) shoot reliably at 1000 yards doesn't mean I don't respect the time and dedication it takes someone like Edelweiss or Elkoholic to hone that craft. I don't recommend every young guy with cable TV, run out and start throwing bullets downrange at long distance just because they think they can because some guy on TV did. But to be honest, every hunter has a maximum range well short of what his weapon is capable of reproducing consistently (I don't care if you shoot a bow or scoped firearm, muzzle loader or 45-70 with iron sights, yes Quigley went "down under" and a whole lot of guys hit the hills trying to be him as well. Tom Horn you aren't.) Don't try and sell yourself as someone who has never "stretched the max" a bit, or wondered "If I can". If you are human, you have. I have SEEN Eastman's shows where Guy shot animals further than his post in this thread says he LIKES to shoot (Mike is a different story, we love you Mike). The bottom line to me is this, I describe "ethical" as the ability to truly self evaluate, look critically in a mirror and honestly assess who you are (in this discussion that means asking what you are capable of) and doing the right thing in light of that evaluation (everyone should practice this in all areas of their lives). Don't for one minute tell me that still hunting the woods, shooting with iron sights, means you are a more ethical shooter (or even necessarily a more ethical hunter). For instance, there is no way in H. E. double hockey sticks that you can shoot as well (actual repeatable accuracy) with iron sights at even 50 yards as you can with a more modern sighting platform (protest all you want, no you can't). You can, I am 100% positive, shoot very adequately for a hunting situation, but not technically as well. That "hunting situation" part means we ALL make judgement calls. So extending the logic to many of you are using, we should all rail on the choice to shoot iron sights, or bows or whatever isn't the most accurate method of shooting. After all, your logic states that the lower the chance of a bad shot, the more ethical you are, and so because repeatably accurate shots are less likely to be bad shots they are by definition more ethical. Should mandate you use the better sighting platform (not just the many arbitrary distances people use to define what is 'ethical') to ensure you are the most ethical hunter possible. Or maybe we should MANDATE that every hunter shoot X number of 1000's of rounds at a range every year, keeping a skill that has a "shelf life" at it's peak. And using this logic bows are out (and I just dumped a bunch in a new rig, DANG), they aren't as accurate and don't produce the kinetic energy to "ethically" dispatch an animal as quickly as whatever firearm you are using (heard that one for years about bow seasons and archery equipment). Oh, and all you front loaders out there, can't use them any more. And why is it that some states won't let you use a scope on a muzzle loader, it makes it more accurate, so it is more ethical right? Or is ethical more "Primative", you can't have it both ways. These are just stupid divisive arguments about what happens "if" (the animal moves, or stops moving or the wind picks up/dies down or whatever). The challenge is in testing yourself, how you test is up to you. You ALL have my respect .... as long as you give respect.
And by the way, to me the word 'Old' means 'Old enough' to know how to exercise self control in what you do, in what you say (or type), AND in knowing when to let it go. Disrespect is deserving of disrespect, and to the respectful person respect is due, so lets all practice respect. I wish the Mods would lock this thread out and put it to bed. This is to great of a site for this GAR BAGE (said with a french accent ).

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Steve Lombardozzi drove in the go-ahead
run in the eighth inning as the Washington Nationals edged the Philadelphia
Phillies, 3-2, in the finale of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.
Wilson Ramos worked a leadoff walk off Jake Diekman and was replaced by Jeff
Kobernus on the bases. Kobernus moved to second on Scott Hairston's sacrifice
bunt before stealing third.
Lombardozzi then ripped a chopper to second and Chase Utley fired home, but
Kobernus slid across the plate safely to tally to the go-ahead run.
The Phillies had a chance to tie the game in the home half after Utley
singled, then moved to third on a Carlos Ruiz single with one out. Craig
Stammen then struck out Darin Ruf, but the ball squirted away from catcher
Jhonatan Solano.
Solano, though, recovered the ball and raced back to the plate to catch Utley
inches before his outstretched arms touched the plate.
Both Utley and Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg argued the call, but replays
showed that home plate umpire Chris Conroy had made the correct call.
Jordan Zimmermann (16-8) allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out
five over seven innings to pick up his NL-leading 16th win. Rafael Soriano
worked a perfect ninth to notch his 38th save.
Diekman (1-4) was pegged with the loss after allowing the go-ahead run in the

How To Weld Titanium, Step By StepWritten by Mike Finnegan on July 16, 2013 Wrenchin' @ Random
How It Works
According to TitaniumMetalSupply.com, Titanium has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel because it is a lower-density metal. This is why titanium bolts are lighter than steel bolts.

Some of my users have been getting 15 - 30 messages a day recently. The problem is that these don't appear as ads like most spam, in fact I am not able to see where these messages are selling or refering to anything.
Can anything be done to cull these out better? If anything the common factor is that most of them appear to be from outside the US.
Here is an example:

|Watch for water on area roads
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 11 July 2013 16:38
By Carolyn Lee
The Imperial Republican
This time of year farmers are running their center pivots almost continuously, due to both the growing season and the lack of precipitation. This is also the time for drivers to watch for water on the roads.
Sometimes an end gun on a center pivot becomes errant, spraying water on the road, and needs adjusting.
That's when a complaint is called in to the Chase County Sheriff's office, and it shows up on the law enforcement report.
Sheriff Kevin Mueller said there aren't an unusual number of complaints now. "It's just kind of the norm. The systems are running pretty much 24/7 and the systems need adjusting."
He said he gives farmers several chances to correct the system. First, his department calls the producer regarding the complaint. The second time his department makes personal contact with the farmer.
If there are additional problems, a citation is issued for water on the road, which requires a court appearance. No citations have been issued this year, Mueller said.
He noted that farmers don't intentionally water roads and weeds.
However, there's also a liability issue, Mueller stated. If a farmer has repeated offenses, and if someone drives through water on the road and has an accident, "liability becomes a concern."

More renters and homeowners are turning to a different type of inspector for help.
The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates that about 38 percent of homes have mold and fungus from high levels of moisture. But there's mold in the air all the time, it's just a matter of determining if they are toxic or not.
Barbara Mackey has lived in her apartment for five years; recently she and her daughter have developed health problems and went to a doctor to narrow down the cause.
Without a lot of funds to spare Barbara turned to United Services who is a mold screening company here in Rockford. United Services is a company that inspects houses for mold. The service is geared to people who don't have a lot of money and are seeking answers.
The first step is to perform a visual survey then check for wet areas. Then an air pump collects the air both inside and outside. The samples are sent to air quality specialists analyze and find out what type of mold there is, the mold count, and if an unusual condition exists.
Mold can trigger asthma or other allergic reactions. Barbara's 16-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with asthma and she wants to stop any other family members from being at risk.
The report takes about a week or two to come back and from there united services says they will call the customer and talk about what steps need to take to clean up the mold. If you would like more information, contact United Services at 399-1314.

This looks nice but your text fails to say why one might want to use this technique over the usual error distribution ones like say Floyd Steinberg dithering.
I've been wanting to try this for a while now and after attending a talk by Martin Davis about JTS Topology Suite, a Java library he wrote (along with others) for computational geometry, I decided to give it a shot.
Basically, Weighted Centroidal Voronoi Stippling is a way to produce an image like a stipple drawing, with many little dots that get denser to make a dark tone, and wider to make a light tone, and within a tone, are approximately evenly spaced.
Basically it goes like this: 1) Spread out a bunch of points over the area in question. 2) Compute the Voronoi tessellation for the points. 3) Replace the points with the the centroids for the Voronoi polygons, but weight the polygons' areas with a scalar field (Like an inverted greyscale image) 4) Repeat 2 and 3 many times.
My implementation is a bit odd at the moment in that it supports a vector mask (I clip the Voronoi polygons at each step), and it currently uses just a simple function rather than an image. It's also very, very slow: I was able to speed it up a fair bit by splitting the weighted centroid computation across multiple threads but it's still really slow. I compute the centroid by iterating over a grid of points, adding together the point times the weight function, and the weight function by itself, then divide the first sum by the second.
So, here's what I can produce so far:
The mask is just an OGC Simple Features WKT string, the weight function is (x/width)^2, there are 6000 stipples, and I gave it 50 iterations. Output is an SVG file which I rendered in Inkscape. The seed points are distributed randomly with a further random rejection factor based on the weight function.
It took several minutes to run but hopefully I can improve it. Eventually I plan to use it to distribute terrain symbology like trees, mountains, hills, etc.
The code is nowhere near ready for distribution but I'll probably release it under the GPL if it ever is.
This looks nice but your text fails to say why one might want to use this technique over the usual error distribution ones like say Floyd Steinberg dithering.

Also, the Voronoi tesselation itself could be handy. I've been thinking of ways to use it for a forest symbolizer by considering inner and outer edges and their orientation.

More progress. I've spent most of the intervening time playing with various different ways of getting XML in and out of my program but I've finally got it doing a very basic version of what I'm ultimately after:
I feed in a GML file, it breaks the polygons up using Centroidal Voronoi, and then symbolizes it to an SVG file.
So here's my latest test output:
Right, I think I see what your driving at now. Your using the dot placement as a position for an icon so as to create wide seamless expanse of textured area but not using bitmaps. Although this looks 2D Im guessing that your calculating it in 3D so as to get the Z order correct for the trees. Presumably you could zoom in on an area and it would still be in vector format.

Fully automated mapping (given some input), pretty cool.

OK, back at this project again and I'm working on importing SVG data into JTS. This is really much harder than it would seem at first as SVG is really, really loose and flexible compared to GIS formats.
So far I've manage to make a little program that loads up an SVG file, looks for paths, and converts them to linestrings or multilinestrings depending on whether it has multiple subpaths. It only understands moveto, lineto, and closepath commands at the moment and chokes on anything else. It then spits it all out in OGC WKT format.
Roughly speaking, that means it takes this:
Which can be exported from Inkscape, and produces this:Code:<path d="M 258.59905,189.69191 80.812204,365.45845 264.65997,692.74788 220.21325,510.92042 519.21841,434.14883 385.87827,246.26045 z" />
Which can be loaded into at least some GIS software such as OpenJUMP.Code:LINESTRING (258.59905 189.69191, 80.812204 365.45845, 264.65997 692.74788, 220.21325 510.92042, 519.21841 434.14883, 385.87827 246.26045, 258.59905 189.69191)

New Sheetmetal For An Old Truck - Sheetmetal ShenanigansWritten by on February 29, 2012 Contributors: Kevin Elliott New Tin for an Old Truck
I'm pretty sure it was Neil Young who years ago recorded an album by the name Rust Never Sleeps. And though I may be mistaken in regard to the album title's author, I'm more than willing to back up the accuracy of that rust statement. Because unless you're one of a very select few classic truck restorers who are lucky enough to run across one of those mythical Cream Puff's we've all heard tails of, you can expect most project trucks to be dent and rust riddled gems of one degree or another.
Now, of course we all do our best to get hold of project truck fodder that's in as good a condition as we can find and/or afford, but it's almost a given that most of 'em will be afflicted with various degrees of those aforementioned maladies. That said, repairing those dents, rust, and rot can be expensive for those who choose to farm out those repairs or time consuming and labor intensive for those that opt to tackle the repairs themselves. Betting that most of us have more time and energy than extra cash burning holes in our pockets, attempting to make these kinds of repairs on our own makes perfect sense.
The following images show a typical classic pickup and a couple of common repairs that anyone with a welder, some quality rust repair panels, and a bit of motivation can do in a home garage. So take a look, see how it's done, and consider tackling a repair like this—it's actually easier than you'd imagine. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Though this image shows the GMC from its most presentable angle, its condition is quite typical of most '60s vintage classic truck fodder. The rust and rot which plagues the GMC is confined to the most common of areas—the lower front fender sections, and the lower rear bedside panels around the wheel openings. To add insult to injury this particular pickup had a pretty large dent in the right rear bedside as well.Here's a perfect image of the typical rot found in most project trucks as mentioned earlier—lower fenders and in this case lower door bottoms too. At this point, the door bottom and rocker panel don't look like they're bad enough to require complete replacement but the fender bottom will be replaced rather than repaired.Unlike complete replacement fender assemblies that incorporate inner support structures, patch panels are, for the most part, made up of the outer skin only. That said, Kev began the fender repair by locating and drilling out the spot welds securing the outer fender skin to the inner support structure.Once the spot welds had been drilled and the lower fender panel detached from the inner support, Kev placed the new patch panel over the fender and traced the panel outline onto the fender as a cutting guide. Trimming the original fender in this manner allows the patch to fit flush rather than letting it overlap the original metal.To allow easier access to the fender rear inner edge Kev unbolted the cowl panel to reveal and remove the upper fender attaching bolts. Removing these fender bolts allowed him to pull (and prop) the fender away from the body rather than completely removing it for the repair.With the rear of the fender unbolted from the cab and the damaged area removed, the next step was to grind the paint off of the repair area to expose any additional rust or rot that had been hidden under the painted surface. That bubble we saw in the previous image of the door bottom has been ground off exposing the metal in that area. Kev cut out the corners of both door skins and butt-welded triangular patches of fresh steel into the corners.With the heaviest of the rust ground away, what couldn't be hit with the grinding disc was cleaned up as well as it could be by using a scraper. This not only helps remove loose flakes of rusted metal but knocks out a bunch of the moisture trapping dirt and road grime as well. If you look closely you'll also notice that the inner fender reinforcement (around its mount bolt surface) had rotted away as well. This required Kev to make and install a patch in this area, too.Here you can see the repaired inner reinforcement. It may not be pretty but it'll do the job, Kev also gave the repaired area a couple of coats of weld-through primer to help prevent future rust.
In this image you can see where Kev has propped out the fender using a scrap of 2x4 so he could finish up around the rear fender edge. You'll also see how he notched the rear lip of the patch and began to fold the edge over.Using a hammer and dolly Kev completes the edge by hammering over the folded lip making a rounded edge (like you'd see where a door skin is folded over an inner door section).With the rear edge folded and filed, and the balance of the welding done and ground, the repair is almost ready for final finishing.With the fender patch installed, Kev turned his attention to the pickup's right bedside. Not only did this panel have the common rust often found around the wheel opening but it had a pretty large dent, as well.The rear bedside patch panel was fitted in the same way as the front fender patch was—it was held in place and traced so the bedside could be trimmed in preparation for the new panel.Next, a reciprocating saw was used to cut out the damaged section of bedside since there's not a lot in the way of inner panel supports like the front fenders have.You may also notice that Kev had decided to trim the repair panel a bit so it could be butt-welded slightly away from the seams at the upper bedside and rear taillight panel—saving a lot of extra work while still making for a good solid replacement patch.The rear patch panel is installed in much the same manner as the front fender panel is. Its first put in place, clamped so it stay correctly positioned, and then tack-welded in place. Again, the spot welds are spaced apart so the is not an excessive amount of heat concentrated in one area causing warpage of both the edges of the patch panel and/or the original bedside panel edge.
A pair of holes is then drilled in the wheel opening lip so the new patch panel can be plug-welded to the inner bedside support at the upper rear section of the wheel opening.The bedside panel was then finish-welded. This was done in the same manner as the front fender patches—with a bunch of individual spot welds run side-by-side around the perimeter of the panel. And, as with any sheetmetal repair each spot-weld is allowed to cool a bit before going on to the next to keep the heat in check.With the finish welding completed and the welds ground smooth a thin coat of body filler is applied to all of the repair areas and then sanded smooth feathering the filler to make a smooth and unnoticeable transition between the new metal and the old. The repair panel surfaces are prepped as well and the complete repair areas given a coat of primer.Though there's quite a bit of work ahead for the GMC at least the worst of the damage has been taken care of. The balance of the work will be minor dent repair, surface prep, and a fresh coat of paint. As I said earlier, anyone with a modicum of experience, a welder of nearly any sort, and some quality patch panels like the Classic Parts of America wares used here can handle repairs like this on their own. The biggest stumbling block to repairs of this nature is usually personal apprehension—but if you don't let that stop you and go ahead and give it a try you'll more than likely pleasantly surprise yourself!

hey everyone, i have a zcs 4.5.10 mail server running rhel4 that i'm going to retire and move to another machine. I wanted to know how other users went about doing it.
What i'm thinking about doing is
1) running a full backup on the old server
2) switch old server ip/hostname to something diff mail-old.example.com
3) set new server to mail.example.com
4) put the old full backup in /opt/zimbra/backup
5) then run install.sh and have it pull the old backup in when it installs
anyone else have any tips?
should i just do install.sh -s and use zmrestoreoffline and zmrestoreldap?
thanks for your suggestions.

American Trucking Associations gets go-ahead on concession hearing
December 13, 2010 - LM Editorial
In an ongoing legal battle, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit granted a petition by the American Trucking Associations (ATA) to expedite the filing of briefs in its suit against the concession requirements in the Port of Los Angeles so-called "clean-truck program."
"This, by no means, represents a compromise," said Curtis Whalen, executive director of the ATA's intermodal conference. "Had we not we not offered to submit a brief first, the port would have done the same thing. We are both eager to end this early."
Indeed, the appellate court noted that ATA's request for an expedited hearing was unopposed. Now the deadline is December 28. The Natural Resources Defense Council's answering briefs must be filed by Jan. 31, 2011, with ATA's optional reply brief permitted to come within 14 days of the answering brief.
While virtually all U.S. seaports have a "clean trucks" initiative, the coinage has been embraced by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and a coalition of disparate community groups to push independent owner-operators out of the harbor drayage business.
As reported in LM, ATA requested an expedited hearing, thereby pushing the process forward by two months from the appellate court's originally-published schedule.
Initially, the 9th Circuit refused the request on November 4, before ATA's appellate court agreed to hasten the filing of the briefs.
"So, by reversing themselves," said Whalen, "they bought everyone some time."
And time, it would seem, is of the essence. Now that inbound freight is increasing at the port, shippers are eager to find out if their drayage costs will increase if and/or when Teamster drivers are employed.
According to spokesmen for the 9th Circuit, after briefing is complete, this case will be calendared as soon as possible.

Hell I'll come eat them for ya if you didn't like them!
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Sounds just terrible! I would make some myself if I had a duck LOL
I love duck poppers!! I use sliced jalepenos on mine. Every year my wife and I hold a huge 4th of July family bbq. This year I made duck poppers for appetizers. Some of my family won't eat wild game. Everyone of them loved the poppers. The plate got back to me (expecting it to have half of them left) and it was all gone. I didn't get to eat one of them. The little kids loved them!!!!

An iron barrel on a Dyno. You could blow it up real good for the rebuild. It will tell you max power. If it is hooked up to a sniffer it will give you some jetting info. Be very afraid of your bike on a dyno.
IMO, stock Iron Barrels don't like to run for any period of time at Wide Open Throttle.They can easily overheat. Their notoriously weak piston can crack and their lower end is far from being robust.Iron Barrels were designed for moderate riding during an era where 55 mph was considered fast on the roads so unless someone is willing to spend large amounts of money beefing up the engine I can't see where running the bike on a dyno serves any useful purpose.
A dyno will not damage a Bullet or anything else for that matter. An idiot operating the dyno can, though, as I once witnessed. Many 'iron barrel' Bullets suffer as a result of being wrapped in cotton wool by their owners, many wrongly believing that by keeping the revs low and the gear high, that they are saving on wear and tear. Wrong. I have seen many exhaust valves and seats in 350 and 500 Bullets [other machines too] which were badly burned because the machines had larger gearbox sprockets fitted and were routinely made to lug up hills in top gear at around 45 mph with W.O.T. and 'cruise' at about 60 mph on full throttle, this being almost the top speed of an untuned, overgeared 500. One such machine has just been through my workshops - 19t gearbox sprocket, loud but restrictive exhaust and MK I Amal with too large a main jet for the otherwise standard engine. This is a better way to kill a Bullet than putting one on a dyno with a competent operator. This machine also had trapped second and oil rings, coked into their grooves by the combustion gasses blowing past them - this would be a good way to overheat the barrel and piston and cause a seiziure. Big ends and mains suffer from being overloaded in this way, too. A session on the dyno will enable you to get the best from any machine, in any state of tune, without causing it any harm, but tell the operator a maximum RPM figure for the machine and get it warmed up first, by doing a few runs to about 75% of full speed RPM's, before testing for max power.

File:Argo Float Network.png
From Global Warming Art
The Argo float network is an internationally managed system of ~3000 free-floating temperature and salinity sensors deployed throughout the oceans. These sensors communicate via satellite, drift on ocean currents, and have the ability to submerge to a depth of ~2 km to create vertical profiles.
The Argo network began in 1999 and greatly improves man's capacity to measure the global ocean. Prior to Argo, most large-scale, in situ climatology in the ocean was accomplished by attaching sensors to ships on a volunteer basis. However, this approach led to poor coverage away from major shipping lanes. Argo operates at a cost of ~$25,000 per float with an average lifetime of ~4 years per float.

Electrodeposition on a Resistive Patterned Wafer
Application ID: 12361
This example models time-dependent copper deposition on a resistive wafer in a cupplater reactor. As the deposited layer builds up, the resistive losses of the deposited layer decreases. The benefit of using a current thief for a more uniform deposit is demonstrated.

A glycosylated hemoglobin test (HbA1c) is a blood test that measures the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein found in the blood. Glycosylated hemoglobin means that glucose (sugar) has attached to the hemoglobin protein. The higher your blood sugar is, the more that glucose gets attached to your hemoglobin.
HbA1c shows how high your blood sugar levels have been during the past three months. This can help your doctor determine how well you are controlling your
diabetes. Your doctor may also use HbA1c to test you for diabetes.
There are no major complications associated with this test.
You will roll up your sleeve. An elastic band will be wrapped around your upper arm. An area on your arm will be cleaned with alcohol. The needle will then be inserted into your arm. A small amount of blood will be drawn into a tube. The needle will be removed. Pressure will be applied to the puncture site. A small bandage may be placed on the site. Your blood will be sent to a lab for testing.
Apply pressure to the site until bleeding stops.
Less than five minutes
It may hurt slightly when the needle is inserted.
Talk to your doctor about what goal is right for you. If your HbA1c levels are high, you may need a change in treatment, such as:
Talk with your doctor about when you should be tested again.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:

I have heard that Rashi said that there are three requirements for conversion: brit milah; mikveh; korban in Beit Hamikdash. If this is true, why is it that this is not rendering modern conversions invalid until the Beit Hamikdash is rebuilt?

Bamidbar 15:14 says that a convert must bring an offering "throughout your generations". Sifre Zuta says that the inclusion of this phrase teaches that converts are accepted at any time. Haamek Davar states that the convert or their descendant must bring an offering when the Temple is rebuilt.
This question is related to another and I believe the answers are the same. The sugya (discussion) is found in Talmud Bavli, Krisus 8b-9a. The resolution there is essentially that the korban (offering) is not m'akev (does not invalidate the conversion), which is learned from a gzeiras hakasuv (exegetical interpretation of a verse).

LOOOVE the second one!
Dressing for success doesn't just mean wearing boring blazers and knee length pencil skirts. Instead, showing off your style smarts requires some serious sartorial cunning. And you know one of our fave ways to do that? Printed skirts. But, in case you don't feel up to getting your print on, we have an awesome gallery of style street stars showing you how to do the printed skirt with class and confidence.
What is your fave way to wear a printed skirt?

Sorry, just making a bid for the worst wordplay in a blog post title, 2008 edition.
In any case, a Sunday meal of quiche lorraine and arugula salad (or rocket, for the UK faction) gave me the chance to chill a bottle of Thierry Puzelat's 2005 Clos du Tue Boeuf "Brin de Chèvre." Counter-intuitive, perhaps, as I usually like to break out something like Edelzwicker with egg stuff (who knows why); but then, with chunk bacon, onion, egg and cream you can be all over the map, and I have poignant memories of Meursault with the dish. So, shaking it up, here we were with Puzelat's Menu Pineau cuvée in our glasses.
I'd had the 2006 and, probably some time in the distant, dark hipster past, things like 2004 or even 2002, but this was my first encounter with the 2005. It was a thing of absolute clarity and precision. You could walk out on the deck of a seafaring vessel and look through it, seeing sharp for leagues. I've never had a wine with such intense minerality, and such bone-dry command. Not a bit of residual sugar, which had been my slight complaint about the (also much enjoyed) 2006 version of the same.
So, no surprise that this was unanimously (or bilaterally) voted "the best white wine tasted in quite some time."
And the cool thing is that I can actually afford more! (If I can find it.)
Heaven, I'm in heaven... Fred Astaire sang it. Driving through the vineyards of the Côte de Beaune under mottled skies, I felt it. This curious emotion that comes from being in places that evoke taste memories on your tongue. Oh! Puligny-Montrachet! Minerally, heart-breakingly taut 2004 J.-M. Boillot. Oh, Volnay. 2002 Pascal & Reyane Bouley Volnay 1er Cru "Champans," beating soft and lush like a heart. One feels surrounded and swept up.
And then, of course, being there gives ample opportunity for tasting the local goods. We found an interesting little producer in Santenay whose white 2002 Santenay 1er Cru "Passe-Temps" was a rich whirlwind of precision (shh, it does so make sense). We drank 2001 Denis Thomas Nuits-Saint-Georges, which was perfectly pinot-y, with fruit and tannin braiding into deliciousness. We had a super young, vibrant 2006 Tollot-Beau Chorey-lès-Beaune with searingly open fruit.
So, we didn't drink any Leflaive Montrachet. But then, did you really think I had?
Apparently, the British Cheese Board believes that eating cheese has a beneficial effect on sleep and dreams. This titter-worthy study reveals some of the ins and outs of the curd's influence over our nocturnal life.
Two nights ago, I did an informal test of my own, ingesting a fair piece of Roquefort at the end of my evening meal. Indeed, consequently, my dreams, as the old wives' tale holds, were colorful.
But that aside, eating Roquefort got me to thinking two things. One, that any cheese that requires putting something even higher in fat (i.e. butter) on the bread beneath it is a thing of perversity. And second, that as far as wine goes, Roquefort is the avenging angel, wiping out reds, whites, and bubblies with a cold metallic knife. No quarter! Those wines turn tin.
As I'd already been drinking a fine bottle of dry table wine, I wasn't going to go and open a Sauternes or Jurançon - and of course, I don't like stickies, anyway. So where does that leave me with this curio of a cheese? Will I be able to find something it'll go with?
Probably just a pipe dream.
Here's one to go with pizza. Especially pizza at Pink Flamingo, the Canal Saint-Martin's little pocket of heaven. Especially the Basquiat, with prosciutto and gorgonzola. Or any of them, really. They all rock.
I wanted to cry, nearly. Hadn't been back in ages to the PF, whose delivery fellows on bicycles will deliver canalside in the warmer months, after one has been given a balloon to identify one as having placed an order. And since Le Verre Volé is just up the street, takeout wine and pizza delivery assure a delightful, rustic evening as the deep and filthy water flows by and night starts to fall over random merriment.
But this weekend it wasn't so warm as all that, so refuge was found within the PF. Along with a bottle of On S'en Bat les Couilles, 2006 version. Now, as its label suggests, the wine's name does indeed mean something along the lines of Never Mind the Bollocks (literally: we don't give a toss). But the wine is in no way simply, well, tossed off. It's actually a brilliant little funky gem of "nature" winemaking.
From old-vine gamay in the Touraine-Mesland area of the Loire valley, made by a renegade vigneron with the strangely Corsican-sounding name of Pascal Simonutti, this bottling is totally delicious and totally impudent. The pizzaiolo – probably called Jean-Luc, but never mind – popped it and glugged it into a big magnum carafe, swinging it around to loosen the carbon dioxide, which ushered out. The first glass or so was a bit frizzy, but after that it smoothed and was just a heady, good gamay de Touraine. Deep purple, fruit and bite.
Satisfying stuff.
Over on Wine Disorder, MarkS wrote, in response to a tasting note about a Cour-Cheverny:
I don't find romorantin that [sic] unique: to me, but then, many grapes tend toward similarity. Very strongly chenin blanc-like, with maybe a dollop of godello.
This was kicking around in my head yesterday evening. I mean, it's not rare for people to start talking about typicité, often with some debate. But what about unicité? Are grapes' tastes unique? Should they be?
Of course, no one is going to confuse a Gewürz with a Riesling or a Roussane with a Viognier, but are there more similarities than differences?
I suppose that another factor to add to the lot is age. Does great age on wine efface varietal characteristics for an overall "old wine" taste? This is a theory I have heard stated, and it is somewhat convincing. I think back to the lineups of stickies at the end of the three Académie des Vins Anciens dinners I've been to. I don't know if I could have pulled out a Sauvignon from a Sémillon from a Chenin or a Muscat. But then, I was drunk at the time.
The other angle would be to question if it could simply be, as MarkS seems to suggest, that "lesser" grapes are somehow more "same" than nobler, complexer, "more" unique ones.
If such is the case, Pinot d'Aunis is the king of grapes.
*Oh, and a bottle of Chinon to anyone who can identify the cultivar in the photo up top.
Yesterday evening, slightly dazzled from a surprisingly sunny weekend in the north and head abuzz with thoughts of seashells and the like, I opened a bottle of 2007 Amphibolite.
I'd been enthusiastic about this (as usual) in February, as well as a couple of times soon after, in early spring. But six months will do something to a young wine of its nature. It had lost its pearly bead, shifting from youthful tingliness on the tongue to something more slate-and-brine – which was nice, too, but was more traditionally Muscadet than I'm used to this cuvée being.
It got me to thinking about wines I like drinking young, and how I don't buy too many of them, for fear of not getting to them in time. Hervé Villemade's 2006 "Pivoine" was like that; a dazzling floral, fresh burst of Côt. So was the 2007 non-rosé Costières de Nîmes rosé from Gérard Eyraud (note to self: must drink that soon). Or the Bretons' wild 2007 Avis de Vin Fort.
What's great about wines like these is that, though ready to go from release, they are the antithesis of the big, standardized wines shot out by global-type wineries, heavy in alcohol and toast, with their whatnot processes in the winery to make them user-friendly, fast and forgettable.
These are little asides, beautiful trills, and definitely lovely things to have on hand while waiting for the vins de garde to age. Character in spades – even if fleeting.
This is the best view of my cellar. Once you leave the clean-swept earthen floor of the hall and unlock the padlock sealing away oh so many Sancerres and Chinons and other random fodder (a couple of Apulian reds, some Pic Saint-Loup and two bottles of 2001 Château Pavie (oh yes, my enemies!)), mayhem ensues.
There are two sofas in my cellar (white, blue). There is a broken computer. There are some roller blades that may or may not belong to Arnaud, though I have never seen him rollerblade. There's a table and its detached legs. There is even a framed print with a broken pane.
But this makes it all the more sporty and fun to push through the wild jungle of dreck to get to the good stuff, avoiding giving a little tip to the pile of unracked bottles dangerously lying three-high on the floor. Of course, sometimes this means that instead of coming back up with a Bouzeron from A. & P. de Villaine, there will be a bottle of Villemade Cour-Cheverny in my hand, but no matter!
I suppose all of this is an attempt to fly in the face of the particular madness that seems to inhabit wine "geeks": orderliness. Control. Inventories kept rigorously on online databases. Dated tasting notes.
Plus, it's cool to find something you'd forgotten you had. Especially when it's a bottle of Charmes-Chambertin you run into while looking for a red Anjou. Score!
Deep joys of wine, who among us has not known you? Who has not felt remorse to calm, a memory to conjure, a sorrow to drown, a castle to build in the clouds – all have invoked you, mysterious god hidden in the fibers of the vine. How grand are the acts brought forth by wine, as though we were illuminated by an inner sun! How true, how burning is the second youth man draws from it! Yet how formidable are its searing raptures and its draining enchantments. And yet: say, in your soul and conscience – judges, law-makers, men of the world, you whose happiness leaves you gentle, whose fortune makes virtue and health a thing of trifling ease – say: who among you would have the pitiless courage to condemn those who drink genius?
Baudelaire, Wine and Haschisch
As debate rages on as to terroir and the word "natural" applied to wines, I have a counterpoint to my Worst Wine Ever. In the interest of this exposé, I will have to reveal at last that that other undrinkable wine was a California Pinot Noir that tasted like grapefruit and was searingly alcoholic and awful.
The next day, I fobbed the remaining part of the bottle off on Neil for independent corroboration: yes, the forensic Neil study came up positive. I believe the expression was something along the lines of "Holy screaming lord shite alcohol eau de vie Jesus Christ"...
Fast forward to sometime last week (my memory grows vague, as of someone looking back on a burning city). I proudly bring an Alsace-shaped bottle of 2004 Rouge-Gorge to the table. What are we eating? Was that when I made ratatouille? No, probably not. Maybe that was the seared chicken livers. Anyway.
I pour it with excited trepidation into the glass. I mean, I love Eric Nicolas's whites. And that's saying something for someone who has issues with Chenin.
What a tasty nose, a little candied. Bright red in the glass.
And on the palate. Oh, god! What on earth did I do to deserve to have this in my mouth? What a foul, foul thing. Bracken. Rotting moss. Broken sticks of licorice wood. Quinine. Stuff you wipe off a scraped knee with. Bad stuff. Stuff you don't want lingering on your tongue.
I fought my way through a glass.
And thus are set the bookends of the worst wines I have had the misfortune of tangling with. Bookended from California to the Coteaux du Loir.
Available at Lavinia, 15 €. I dare you.
A friend sent me an interesting press release for my perusal.
It seems that the good people at Krug have sat down and said, "Now, how can we get people with more money than the population of Alabama to give lots and lots of cash to us? We already did the Clos d'Ambonnay, and that's selling at a healthy $3,000-per-bottle clip. But that isn't enough, and we don't have enough of it! What can we do?"
Of course, the word lifestyle is an incantation to marketers. Let's see where it leads.
Already having installed "Krug Rooms" - lavish caves of icy crystal and yeasty champagne - in such fine palace hotels as The Dorchester in London and something or other overlooking a Swiss lake, along with a swank skyscraper in Hong Kong - they suddenly decided to amp it up a notch.
For a mere £10,000 ($17,775; 12,275 €; other currencies, please enquire), you may embark upon a splashy, quite fabulous two-day escapade, leaving London's Waterloo station by Eurostar (not included in the package) - to wind up in Paris, the city of light! Behold the gloriously strobing Eiffel Tower by night! The whirling Concorde ferris wheel! Designer stores with things in them by Philippe Starck! Waiters in white gloves handing you petits-fours!
Yes, because you will check into the Plaza-Athénée, and when you wake, you will be served a lavish breakfast alongside a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée. Later, you will do some other stuff, then you will lunch at Le Meurice, with a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée. Following that, you will be whisked off to Reims for more Krug Grande Cuvée and a visit of the vineyards. Then more Krug, maybe a vintage to break it up a little.
Finally, at weekend's end, you will be packed back up into the Eurostar, three sheets to the wind, and sped back home, not quite sure if you still have your keys.
Cost? £10,000. Seeing who buys it? Priceless.
If you will recall, some time ago, Arnaud suggested I keep a "Champagne Tracker" to prove that indeed, despite my plaints to the contrary, I do imbibe quite a non-negligeable amount of the bubble. Perhaps it is time to show you a spreadsheet or graph in all its glory. Maybe I will soon. In any case, the CTracker was abuzz this week, as things to celebrate flooded through and those famous six atmospheres of contained pressure popped open into the ambient world.
NV Jacques Lassaigne "Vignes de Montgueux" - thanks to Alice for the delicious excuse to quaff this en terrasse on a sunny summer afternoon. It had more breadiness to it than the previous times I'd had it, less green apple acidity. A fine glass, and even finer conversation.
NV Dufour Pinot Blanc - A curious champagne, to my taste. Made from Pinot Blanc, it has a discreet attack, yet is extremely persistent on the palate, with a deliciously pith-bitter finish. Somewhat like a Prosecco in its light body, though with more chalky depth.
NV Duval-Leroy Lady Rose (or is it Rosé?) - This gives what it purports to; a girlish, raspberry-and-strawberry confection; simple, bubbly, weirdly likeable, creamily dosaged: to file in the "guilty pleasure" category. Please tell no one I liked it. Please.
NV Fallet-Prévostat Extra Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs - Once my "little grower that could," this unknown from Avize has disappointed me twice. On this opening, there was a gorgeous, vinous Avize nose: just what makes me weak-kneed. But on the palate, something lurked that was off, unclean, or overevolved. Drat. Drat. Drat.
1998 Jacques Selosse - Why can't something important enough to open Selosse happen every day? This bottle was so good I felt like my mind was going around in circles. I sat there with the glass in my hand and a smile of begoggled childishness on my lips. Full-bodied and vinous, with some honeyed overtones but not as oxidative as the Substance register, it was persistent, enveloping the palate. Not a huge amount of detail, but that's like asking foie gras to be crunchy. That's not its vocation. This wine's vocation was to provoke minor rapture. Which isn't too bad, now, is it?
Too much noise! Too much clatter! Too much controversy, muckraking and terrorism of varied vinous stripes! My head is ringing.
I've been reading about today's wine world in different media: books, blogs, journals, forums, reviews, leaflets (OK, not leaflets). Words are blitzing about. Yeast. Oak treatment. International style. Volatile acidity. Typicity, for the love of god.
I will take a breath. I will embrace this new, cantankerous, staunchly-opposed world, with its factions and factotums. Some love what they see as talent and opulence in a bottle; others prize unretouched honesty. Some argue that the ways wine is being made now are a travesty and destructive; others that wine has never been better nor more accessible. Everyone's trying to pull back the Wizard's curtain.
No one can deny that the wine commentator faction is drastically split.
I was going to write an article called "In Vino Calamitas," pungent with the irony that this drink that brings us together in broad conviviality should also now be the stomping ground of angry persuasions that tear oenophiles asunder.
But, nah.
I think I'll just read something cool and factual like Jamie Goode's article on phylloxera in The World of Fine Wine.
And have a glass of something I won't reveal. So there.
When we started seeing troglodyte homes lining the side of the street, tucked into the greenery-covered stone hills, we knew we were in the land of plenty that is the region around Chinon. Tuffeau walls and homes abound. There is an amazing clarity to the villages, with their luminous castles and churches and houses.
It was late morning and we had an 11am appointment with Bernard Baudry, a maker of remarkably pure Chinon wines. Each time I taste his wines, I marvel at their simplicity and purity; nothing is out of place.
Baudry himself is of that same kind of perfect simplicity, with a dash of humor. He was there with a group of young blond men and women from Normandy (I picked out the 14 on their license plate: the Calvados region), going through the tasting of his current lineup. He came over and greeted us, let the youngsters consult with his wife and make their purchases, and what ensued was a three-hour marathon of talk, barrel-sample tastings, bottle tastings, and a visit to the cellars up the street.
When we tipsily said goodbye at 2pm - we had stopped spitting at some point along the line - I felt a pang as I closed the car door. Baudry was opening the metal gate for us (visits had officially stopped some time earlier), and I nodded as I thought back to something he'd said a half-hour earlier. He had once been a wine consultant and had traveled around different regions visiting different vineyards. Now, he said, "Chinon is special. It really is all about Rabelaisian delight, shared pleasure and conviviality. You can see that right away by the way different winemakers greet you. In Bourgueil, the wines are similar, the same grapes, similar terroir - but there isn't the same feel. Vouvray is completely different, very businesslike." Then he smiled. "And don't get me started on Montlouis..."
I have to agree about Chinon; there is something in the wine that incites to excess, generosity and gluttonous pleasure. Accordingly, Arnaud and I drove back into the town proper from Cravant-les-Coteaux and found a wine bar at which to eat a late, lush lunch. Damn if that wasn't some of the best charcuterie I've had - washed down with some Pascal & Béatrice Lambert Chinon, of course.
Joe had a camera in his hand as we were starting into our second bottle of bubbly at Le Verre Volé two days ago. I said, "Just don't take one of me looking like Degas's Absinthe drinker..." and started to mime that downtrodden visage. Snap. Oh well.
Joe was in town for one day, so we arranged to dine, and fellow wine person (or is that "personality"?) David and I met up with him on a hot night at Le Verre Volé, a great wine bar whose only downfall is having a revolving fan pointed the other direction, behind the bar.
David and I plotted our attack as we strolled around the empty, cozy space looking at the different bottles on their shelves and waiting for Joe to turn up. Drawn, then, both like moths to a particularly sparkling flame, we gravitated toward the Champagne shelf. Tempting stuff, indeed. Larmander-Bernier, Ulysse Colin, Vouette & Sorbée... and oh, hey, Selosse V.O.
Now, I did have the pleasure of drinking a bottle of Substance in the Palais-Royal garden last week, so it was a particularly spoiled and hedonistic move to pounce on the V.O. But, well, you only live once, and I really only said yes because David seemed to want that one so badly...
The patron had gone back into the cellar to see if there were any left, and had (phew!) brought one out and set it on the bar when Joe walked in. David and I turned around, looking like children caught opening the snack cupboard.
But Joe, despite a grave aversion to Chardonnay in its still expressions (why?!), is a Champagne enthusiast, so we were set to go.
The evening rolled on from that first, joyous note, as we reconnoitered, slipped, slurped, and ate terrine, andouillettes and a stunning slice (yes, slice) of black pudding (boudin noir) prepared by the potentially alcoholic but assuredly talented charcutier Joël Meurdesoif.
And I was even strongarmed into what turned out to be a delicious surprise, a 2006 Pacalet Gevrey-Chambertin that was light on its feet yet an intense tangle of young fruit and bitter tannin - I loved it.
As the evening wore on, we had finished our food and the Gevrey; there was only one road to head down, and it would not yet be the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir on a bicycle, which would be my route an hour or so later. No, it was back to Champagne.
The NV Vouette & Sorbée Blanc d'Argile Extra-Brut is a thing of beauty. I'd tasted it in horrible conditions last December - under an awning in the freezing cold, caught by rivulets from a driving rain, shoes and feet soaked as I sipped and talked to the affable Bernard Gautherot.
These conditions were better: friends, laughter, a comfortable wine bar, giving the patron a glass, strolling outside to talk (until the moths started to bother me and I ducked back in). And the wine was delicious.
So the snapshot would have been more appropriate if glass and bottle had been empty!

Continental Race King Supersonic Tire - 26in $0.00
The Continental Race King is the tire choice of two-time XC World Champion Irina Kalentieva (she scored the silver at the 2010 Worlds at Mt. Ste. Anne in Quebec on these tires, on a very soupy course).
While the tire can withstand such goop, its rolled shoulder profile and diamond-head arrow center tread pattern is primarily designed for superb power transfer while maintaining a very low profile so that it rolls exceptionally fast. Luckily, Continental also incorporates transitional knobs from the center to the shoulder of the tire, so that when you're making quick weight transfers, from cornering to straight-ahead power and back again, the tire remains stable and secure beneath you. The shoulder knobs are low-profile, like the rest of the tread. Along the outer edge the pattern is doubled, with a ramped leading edge followed by a block tread -- the ramps roll quickly, but the block bites into the dirt for better traction.
Here's the caveat about different types of mud: The tread pattern is fairly tight and if your home turf features stickier mud rather than the soupy variety (clay, perhaps?), a tire with a more open pattern, like Continental's X-King, would shed the slop more quickly. Or for a good pairing for most racing conditions, choose the X-King on the nose, for tauter steering control, and the Race King on the tail, for quicker acceleration and faster rolling.
The Continental Race King comes in a 2.2" width with a 26" diameter. The casing features 3 plies totaling 84 TPI under the tread and sidewalls. The tire bead is foldable, and it comes in black on black. Claimed weight is 650g.
Application: XC Race / Trail
Ground: Loose, Hard, Mud

"I ordered this with a B&W picture with white font, and the designer shaded the bottom half to make the white font stand out better. It looked great! I received the cards less than a week after approving the design. Overall great experience with WPD!"
"My first order came in wrong because I accidentally selected for it to not be reviewed by the team, but was assisted quickly with how to return and was given my refund. I placed another order as soon as I got my money back and it came in perfect."
"This was the perfect card for our wedding! It perfectly captured the feeling of "relaxed elegance" that we were going for. We chose a single close up of us on the front and a collage of three photos on the back and it looked perfect. Each photo was highlighted without looking crowded. The paper was a nice weight and finish, felt more like thick card stock than paper. We got many compliments from family and friends on the save the date. I also found the design was easy to edit and customize."
"I loved being able to use my own image and the print quality is excellent. I was worried about the finished product looking different from what I saw on my monitor, but my save the dates turned out amazing. I have received so many compliments."
"I was looking for a card that would fit the photo I wanted. I looked on other sites and couldn't find one that allowed the photo to fit properly. Finally I found one here. I put it together with three photos and a quote, and I asked for the design team to look it over before I printed. They came back to me right away and told me they fixed the quote as the resolution wasn't great. I ordered after that and they came earlier than anticipated and looked terrific. My fiancé and I have had a dozen people let us know how amazing our save the dates were (we used a pretty un-traditional and fun photo) and so I am very happy with how this turned out!"
