Cooking Indian at home doesn't happen often either. The thought of all those ingredients is rather off putting and anything too spice-hot is just going to ruin any decent wine. With interest then thumbing through the recipes in Mallika Basu's new book, Miss Masala, discovering some accessible and wine-friendly (hopefully) dishes.
Page 80 details Murgh Masala - the ultimate simple chicken curry - the key it seems is cooking the chicken on the bone "to enjoy the full flavour of spiced stocked in the curry"; quite surprised too with the number of recipes that utilise yoghurt, Greek yoghurt at that. There is a fine level of spice in this basic recipe, just a teaspoon of chilli powder and half a teaspoon of turmeric, root ginger, garlic, garam masala, onion completes the flavour. Also interesting was the instruction to add a pinch of sugar to the hot oil. This caramelises and lends the dish a "lovely red glow later without the need for food colouring".
The other issue with an 'Indian' is that several different dishes are served at the same time, making it tricky to get a decent wine match. Here, with just this one chicken dish, and some simple rich to accompany the choice was easy - something weighty, full and rounded with a hint of mysticism. Step forward a decent Australian Viognier... leap-frogging over a new-world Chardonnay, which would have been an alternative.
The wine of choice then to accompany Murgh Masala is Yalumba Eden Valley Australian Viognier. The current vintage in Waitrose is 2008 and comes in at £9.99. The wines plumpness and exotic peach and apricot flavours melding very nicely with the dish.
The Cellar Masters bar utilises the 'Enomatic Wine Preservation and Serving System' were you can serve yourself tasting samples, half glasses and a full-on glassful of various wines.
If you haven't encountered the Enomatic system before it 'dispenses wine directly, in a multi-portion fashion, direct from the bottle using inert gas preservation. The flavours and characteristics of the wine remain intact and you can be assured that the wines dispensed are fresh and flavourful, as if the bottle was just opened'.
While you are free to taste and drink which ever wines you like they have linked several into 'destination wine tasting' groups [Cellarmasters Wine Menu pdf]. So you could go for a Drouhin Chablis, Chateau Les Tuileries from the Graves, a Mont-Redon Chateauneuf-du-Pape and a Chateau Coufran from the Haut-Medoc under 'Tour de France' or a 'California Dreaming' selection that gives a Freemark Abbey Chardonnay from the Napa Valley, a Murphy Goode Fumé Blanc from the Alexander Valley, a Sequioa Grove Napa Cabernet and a Foley Vineyards Pinot Noir. The Exploring Down Under selection is good offering a Brancott Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, A Leasingham Riesling, a Norman Estates Shiraz and a Grove Mill Pinot Noir. Each of these flights are available at US$15 for a 2oz serving. A nice way to explore new wines before settling on a wine to drink a full glass of...
A couple of interesting (ie not tried before) wines were available during the two-nighter cruise; all twittered of course, although a couple exceeded the 140 character limit...

Incidentally the stateroom entertainment system includes a graphical location map - we went way passed the Channel Islands I believe - and full room service ordering. I did try and order a bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal 2002 (US$750 if I recall correctly) but the system crashed with an error...
New to the Celebrity Eclipse is the QSine restaurant. It aims to be 'different'. No three set courses, no limit to the dishes you can order, no set method of plating either. As the ipad was whisked away - I had managed to view a red wine with a perfunctory tasting note and a full scan of the label, in addition to the dish description as shown in the photo - a series of sample dishes were thrown our way. Far too quickly really to appreciate their individuality or to take photos of them all.
I'm a little confused as to the roll of the IPad, do you order a dish or a wine directly from it? I'm unsure. There was a full illuminated 'menu', again in a non-standard format (pdf download), that lists all the dishes. I forget all we tried: a meatball trilogy made from Kobe beef was slightly disappointing in texture and flavour (each had a different stuffing), a superbly presented tapas or mezi selection (think different dishes, pots, wraps etc on a giant thimble collection stand), make your own burgers (sliders in American with a brioche bun, miniature Kobe burger, American cheese, onions, tomatoes, three sauces), an illuminated prawn cocktail, Sushi Lollipops (as pictured), delicious spring rolls served in giant springs, decorate your own cupcake, the fun element is exciting, you really have no idea what to expect next...
I think they are missing a trick though. Little attention is paid to the wine. By expanding the innovation and fun to bring in the wine or other drinks would have enhanced the while 'experience' greatly. A different wine sample or cocktail with each dish or even presented different drinks in an equally novel fashion as the food. Something more than a sparkler in cocktail obviously, but with all the attention lavished on the food it was disappointing that little was offered on the drink side of things.
The wine menu has echoes of the quirkiness (pdf download, prices in US$ per bottle), printed off-kilter, with plenty I'd like to try (those at this press presentation were a decent enough Chardonnay and an OK-ish Pinot Noir, exactly the same as served with our other meals in the other restaurants). Although the IPad had wine label scans and a few lines by way of a tasting note wine obviously takes a back seat...
One non-UK based blog is intentionally in the list due to their growing influence and rapport with the UK wine trade, their marvellous work in promoting social media in the wine field and organising the European Wine Bloggers conference.
Just following half of those listed will give an excellent overview of the UK wine scene - what's hot, what's chilling, what's good down the supermarket...
It would be great for a comment or email altering me to any I have missed, as I am certain to have done. The only criteria is that the blog must be predominantly about wine (sorry Douglas) and be based in the UK or write about the UK wine scene. Each authors twitter tag is also listed.
These are personal blogs only. I'll look into compiling a list of retailer blogs and winery blogs if there is enough interest and people send me their details.
The UK's Wine Bloggers:
"Here he goes again - banging on about how grape blends are soooo much more interesting than single varietals... he'll be raving over some South African wines next, I'll bet"
"Yeh, repeating himself again. You wait he'll pick on some wine-maker with 'character' and imply that being a maverick or whatever can only influence the wine in a good way!"
"Better than moaning about a perfume-doused floosy at a tasting out smelling the wines"
"or a cigar-chomping lard-arse hogging the spittoon"
Three quick recommendations sampled at a trade tasting (SITT 2010 held in Vinopolis last February). They are from the A A Badenhorst stable, a project by Adi Badenhorst one of "the Cape's more colourful characters". After a series of vintages at Rustenberg, Adi set up, with a cousin, this new estate building on vineyards and facilities last used in the 1930's. The old vines are unirrigated, farmed and made into wine with as little intervention as possible. Adi was at the tasting, perched on the end of the Swig table, looking hot and tired but mercifully near the open door for some cool air. A wild hair cut, a slight manic gleam to the eye and as you spied his wines he was round the front of the table pouring and enthusing...
Can't say the labelling does anything for me. Bottle pictures from the estates website (which is in need of an update!).

My good friends Niamh and Denise launched another Guerrilla tasting onto London's streets - which Niamh reports "it went really well! We had 3 wines at the Green Onions Supper Club in Hackney. People loved them esp the Douro red" - and in deepest Thames-side Oxfordshire I made a stew, grilled some pork ribs and am about to throw some giant prawns on the barbie. Well, it would be a barbecue if I actually had a garden. And a barbecue. A griddle pan will have to suffice.
Failing to source all the wines involved in the tasting a make do and mend session, with two of the reds and the white, and matching them to the foods mentioned made for a fun weekend.
The Portuguese-created social wine discovery site Adegga has a full list of the Big Tasting events wines and you can track the activity on twitter via the #tbt2010 tag.
Of the wines the Vida Nova 2007 from the Algarve (that's a Cliff Richard wine), a blend of Syrah, Aragonez and Alicante Bouschet, and the Tinto da Ânfora 2007 (Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Alfrocheiro, Cabernet Sauvignon) were cracked open and sampled against a hearty beef stew and a pile of pork ribs that were marinated overnight in a chilli sauce. The one white in the six bottle line-up, a Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde, will be subject to a separate post, is about to be savoured with prawns, simply griddled and served with a little Lingham's Ginger, Garlic and Chilli Sauce mixed with a dollop of mayonnaise.
Price-wise there is little difference between the Vida Nova at £7.99 and the Tinto da Ânfora at £6.99 but the former was the deeper, richer, more classy, intense and more complex wine of the two. The Ânfora, obviously a different grape mix grown in a different region, is a touch more rustic and more hearty. The Vida Nova has a delicious top note of red berries while the Ânfora offers a fruity upfront sweetness before stroking the teeth with soft tannins and ending on a rustic lick of red fruits. Its combination of fruit, sun drenched earth and wafts of herbs and undergrowth is a winner.
Being hungry while the stew and rice bubbled atop the stove a chunk of Parmesan, being the only cheese in the fridge, was sampled with each. Not a great match with the Ânfora. The cheese stamped aggressively across the red berry flavours. The harder hitting Vida Nova had fewer issues. A rather nice combination.
And with the beef stew? Both were fine, its not a dish that many red wines would disagree with, but on balance I preferred the sweetness inherent in the Ânfora, the flavours melding beautifully with the richness of the sauce. The pork ribs - quite spicy from all that chilli sauce - did not disagree with either wine. A preference? The Anfora.

The recipes:
Best Lamb Cutlets with Special Basil Sauce matched with Dusty Dog Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 This Australian red is big, deep and juicy. Not the most complex of wines but decent enough. Matched well with the lamb - such a wine friendly meat - and even leapt over the brown dollop of sauce (pummelled pine nuts and basil, loosened with olive oil, with zing added by lots of balsamic vinegar, hence the unappealing colour) with ease. Despite the slight derogatory stance of the description the sauce is delicious. (Recipe from Jamie's Dinners)
Char-grilled Pork Leg with Asparagus linked with Bain's Way Merlot 2008. (Recipe from Jamie's Kitchen).
Pan-Roasted Salmon with Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Anchovy-Rosemary Sauce with Gosling Creek Verdelho 2008 (Recipe from Cook with Jamie)
Pasta Peperonata with Castillo de Tafalla Rosado 2009. (Recipe from Jamie's Dinners)
Incredible Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Smashed Veg and Greens with Parrot Valley Red Blend 2009 (recipe from Jamie at Home)
Cheese and Onion Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing with Mistral Chardonnay 2008. Billed as a starter but a 'double' portion served as a late evening meal when served with a few slices of toasted French bread. The photo is a stylised shot of the salad; although in this form it could be served as hors d'oeuvres. Now, if you don't over-do the crumbled Roquefort, for it is strongly flavoured and would over power most wines, this un-wooded Chardonnay from Chile made for a rather satisfying combination. (Recipe from Jamie at Home)
Crispy Prawn Tempura with Ribbon Salad matched with Kimbao Sauvignon Blanc 2009. Good ol' SB; versatile in food matching. While the tempura is on the 'to try' list the first bottle was opened to accompany little filo pastry parcels stuffed with leek, caramelised onions and cheese; details on Spittoon Extra. A jolly decent match indeed.
Rhubarb and Custard Kinda Soufflé with Las Moras Late Harvest Viognier 2006 Not convinced this is sweet enough for a dessert, high acidity halts any cloying sensation; nice apricot flavours. Wouldn't automatically think of viognier though. Alcohol 12%. Sampled with a sorta trifle - layers of stewed rhubarb, crumbled ginger biscuits, custard, whipped double cream topping - the match was just 'OK'. Maybe the soufflé proper would work better. Thinking a pâté would be more suitable... or indeed the Roquefort left over from the salad! (Recipe from Jamie at Home)
The mixed case of 12 wines - some (the more expensive I imagine) are just single bottles, the others are doubled up - comes in at £70..
As a dog is not just for Christmas, champagne should not be kept for just special occasions. A particularly gruelling week ended with a Chinese takeaway and a bottle of Cordon Rouge; now that is 'special'! A starter of tempura coriander prawns - brilliant, sweet and sour chicken balls with special fried rice - enlivened, and not forgetting a huge bag of prawn crackers - perfectly decadent.
The bottle of Cordon Rouge [Adegga / Snooth] came complete with "George", a specially designed ice-bucket by Patrick Jouin. I'm not really up on designers but Patrick (subject of an exhibition in Paris "la substance du design" until May 24th) has designed interiors (the Gilt restaurant and bar in New York, Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower), theatre sets, urban furniture (automatic public toilets and the bicycle rental stands and terminals in Paris) and some stunning cutlery too (Zermatt flatware collection, a teak and plastic spoon for nutella).
Always a sucker for a bit of designer stuff the bucket is actually rather good. Taking the distinctive red sash of Cordon Rouge the bucket has a red lick that lifts at the back to act as a handle. There's a lip in the base to cradle the bottle too. A little designer piece of plastic to lift any moment to somethin special. Now if only they can do something similar to make parsnips palatable.
The map location I thought important for Sonoma has differing regions - rolling hills here, sea influence here, heavy fog influence due to the San Pablo Bay here or higher temperatures up towards the north. Flowers ranch for example is just a stones throw from the Pacific coast - a dramatic wild location surrounded by virgin forest while Pedroncelli is right up in the wild north where the Dry Creek Valley has temperatures suitable for Zinfandel.
Present were Jim Pedroncelli, Proprietor and Director of Sales and Marketing at Pedroncelli (Adegga / Snooth) with 2007 Mother Clone Zinfandel, Rod Berglund President and Wine Maker at Joseph Swan Vineyards (Adegga / Snooth) with a 2005 Zinfandel and a 2007 Pinot Noir, followed by Jeff Stewart Vice President Winemaker at Buena Vista with a 2007 Chardonnay and 2007 Pinot Noir and finally Tom Hinde, President and CEO of Flowers Winery with their 2008 Chardonnay and 2007 Pinot Noir.
It is so easy to club all Californian, indeed all American, wines into one. But these examples demonstrated individual aspects modified by the location. Most had a story to tell. The Pedroncelli Zinfandel for example uses vines cloned from the original "mother" vines of which one quarter of acre exist to day and fruit from these 100-year-old vines are included in the blend. It is also a tradition to blend in the fruit from another old plot, the Buchignani vineyard, where vines are 40-50 years old.
I adored the two Flowers offerings. Both exhibited a real 'European' textural quality, but still with a ripe new-worldliness. Shame they have a retail price of £50-£60 a piece.
Due to the time constraint I had to email each of them with a couple of questions after the event; surprisingly two even found the time to reply!
From Tom Hind of Flowers Winery [Adegga / Snooth]:
a) In FIVE words what makes your wines stand out from the crowd?
High natural acidity and balance
b) In FIVE words why us Brits should buy your wines?
The most pure example of California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (ummm, I count ten....)
c) Can you give me a quick titbit about your wines/a wine/the winery ie food matching, historical fact, something new etc etc
We are the western-most vineyard in all of California one mile from the Ocean. Our wines go with a wide range of foods due to their high natural acidity lower alcohols, balance and finesse.
From Jeff Stewart of Buena Vista Carneros [Adegga / Snooth]
a) In FIVE words what makes your wines stand out from the crowd?
Elegance, concentration, sense of place
b) In FIVE words why us Brits should buy your wines?
True expression of California quality
c) Can you give me a quick titbit about your wines/a wine/the winery ie food matching, historical fact, something new etc etc
Buena Vista Carneros is the first premium winery in California, founded in 1857. Today we produce special wines from a special place - our Ramal Vineyard Estate in Carneros, Sonoma County.
The tasting was at Goodman's Restaurant, where a meal after - complete with trademark steak - turned into a jolly, impromptu, wine and food matching event. The Zinfandel's tearing into the 8oz strip loin with gusto and the Chardonnay's matching beautifully with slices of Irish Smoked Salmon.
And this style - sorta cool-gay with a dash of irreverence and humour pervades the whole of The Public House. It's up in Islington, not as out-of-town as I assumed, but not a part of London I've ever stumbled though just a minute from Highbury &
Islington tube. Its not an overly styled 'too-cool-for-school' place. Not imposing. Not uncomfortable. The drinks menu ends with a list of the furniture and other fixtures and fittings: £1,500 for a couple of marble columns with candles? £650 for a deco stove? £450 for a free standing lamp? £800 for a 1950's French Butterfly Chandelier? You can buy them all. A quirky element that adds to the fun. I don't suppose they sell much, most was a bit too camp and boudoir for my taste (although I was rather taken with a couple of the chairs... and one of the other, more moveable, elements).
I rather wish we had arrived earlier to fully explore the drinks list for this too exhibits some of this quirkiness. They list a Bulgarian Muscat Ottonel by the glass (£4.50), a Patrucius Dry Furmint from Hungary (£30 a bottle) and a Viognier made by Zaca Mesa from the States (£36) for example. On the red side there is an Oregon Pinot Noir, Four Graces, (£45), great to see a Portuguese red Frontaria from the Douro (£19.50) and a Bogle Petite Syrah from California (£7.50 glass, £30 bottle). I would like to have indulged in a glass of the Chateau Du Donjons from the Minerviois (£4.50/£16.60) or maybe one of the four sparkling wines available by the glass (sadly no producers detailed but there is a Prosecco £6/£32 and a Saumur Brut Rosé £6/£32 for example or if you can only suffer champagne a Joseph Perrier at £7.50/£42)
A short list - but grief, I hate having a wine list so long it makes selecting a bottle a horrific chore.
My companion, the affable Mr Blyde, selected a Bouza Albarino from Uruguay (£27). I ask you, can you get more obscure and quirky?! It certainly wouldn't have been my choice but I did rather enjoyed it; a decent weight, a broad palate and a fine food matching style. It work rather well. Honeyed pears mixed with grapefruit; fresh, crisp acidity.
Our discussion of the food was rather intense, critical and 'dissectional'. Starters of Duck Terrine, Roasted Beetroot and Beetroot Leaf Pesto (£7.50) for me was generously sized and neigh-on perfect but the Scallops with Haggis and Champagne Rhubarb (£8.50) offered a little too much in the way of flavours. Beautifully presented and delicious scallops indeed, but either the haggis or the rhubarb have to go...
Mains. I can't think of a more perfectly cooked Pork Tenderloin that I've eaten. Absolutely perfect. Generous in size (although the 'wrapped in pancetta' bit seemed absent) served with a roast apple and a cauliflower puree. The puree was little more than a smear, the apples stuffing, liver I believe, was little more than a teaspoons-full in size. So I could have done without the cauliflower and wished for more of the liver stuffing. Greed perhaps, more than a critique. Pork Tenderloin wrapped in Pancetta, stuffed roast apple and cauliflower puree is on the menu at £12.95.
The mix of flavours in the Halibut with Venison Stew and Wild Mushrooms (£17.95) was as unbalanced as the haggis and rhubarb. An expensive and generous portion of superbly cooked fish, the venison dividing the attention. Unlike some of the odder pieces of furniture they didn't quite gel together to make an over-arching statement.
Dessert I couldn't fault. The Apple and Berry Pie (£5) was consumed with remarkable celerity. Not due to any problem but rather my need to make a 'last of the evening bus-train connection'. Amazing how the passage of time alters - a little wine, damn decent food, an interesting location and a lively catch-up with an old friend and before you know it the chat turns to train times.
The conversation pre-dinner, was dominated by that coaster - was the middle figure actually a guy? Impressively muscled or wearing man-boobs? The coasters weren't for sale.

The lamb was cooked at a very low temperature for neigh-on 18 hours. This certainly results in a deeply juicy joint of meat so it was a fine choice indeed to accompany with a cannelloni bean mash laced with water cress and fresh spinach.
The next sentence is going to be contrary. The match - lamb and Cockburn's Port - was surprisingly lovely and beautifully paired only it was too rich and decadent! I loved it but drinking more than a glass or two could became a little too overwhelming for some. All down to the ports 20% alcohol.
The recipe was designed by chef Steve Bulmer as an Easter Day special. Even I know that roasting a leg of lamb for 18 hours isn't a standard way of preparing a Sunday roast but if you can't do something really special for Easter...
"This Easter, impress your guests with an extra special slow-cooked lamb dish matched with a glass of rich Cockburn's Late Bottled Vintage 2004. The recipe for this tender, 18 hour slow-cooked lamb was created by Steve Bulmer, head chef at Brook Hall Cookery School and inspired by the UK's favourite port.
This melt-in-the-mouth lamb is satisfyingly rich, and virtually cooks itself, making it the perfect dish for Easter Sunday lunch. Pairing it with Cockburn's Late Bottled Vintage 2004, a full and fruity port, will really complement the sumptuous nature of the lamb. The port's hints of cherry and dark chocolate on the palate will further enhance the depth of the dish, whilst its complex character will leave your taste buds tingling."
Cockburn's Late Bottled Vintage 2004 is widely available, 75cl, RRP £11.22.
Cockburn's have the recipe and a video on their site (direct link to load video here) describing the cooking of this lamb dish. The recipe is below if you wish to try it out.
Last week the good wine folks on twitter indulged with a day of tastings and discussions on Sauvignon Blanc. The tag to read through is #sauvblanc. My plan was to tweet this Villa Maria offering in conjunction with the 'event'; but being run and dominated by Americans it didn't kick off until way past my bedtime and anyway a few friends dragged me out to the pub with the evening ended with a Chinese takeaway and laughing at the ridiculous pap put out by various TV stations of an evening...
I did sample a Sauvignon while out (in our drinking hole of choice, the Old Post Office) and had planned to sample a sauvignon with some goats cheese. The tweets were limited to: #sauvblanc in old Post Office Wallingford Riscal lovely honeyed acidity minerality to fore, quite full so different from a kiwi version
Then #sauvblanc ooooh baked pineapple
And discovering the pre-purchased Pouilly Fume - pont du milieu pouilly fume 08 dosent go with chinese takeaway #sauvblanc
In regards to food matching the classic pairing of Sauvignon is with goats cheese, rather than a mixed plate of Cantonese take-away. Try topping cut rounds of thick walnut bread, topped with goats cheese and walnuts, warmed though in the oven, and served with slices of pear and lambs lettuce. Drizzle the dish with walnut oil. Paired with the Villa Maria Sauvignon this made for a stonkingly good lunch (equally it would be a classy starter).

East Hartford, CT (Sports Network) - Montel Harris rushed for 142 yards and a
touchdown as Temple came from behind for a thrilling 17-14 overtime conference
victory over Connecticut at Rentschler Field.

Abortion | A year-long contractors' boycott forces Planned Parenthood to cut the ribbon on an unfinished abortion center in Austin, Texas
AUSTIN -- It's Sept. 23 and William Truict service manager at Brake Check in Austin, Texas, is wondering about his new neighbor, the Choice Project. People from Planned Parenthood's new flagship facility have already made nice with the folks at Brake Check, one day bringing over barbecue for lunch. Today is the Choice Project's ribbon-cutting ceremony, so the slice of Planned Parenthood property behind Mr. Truict's shop looks downright festive: white open-air tent, rows of white folding chairs, balloons and ribbon in yellow and bubble-gum pink.
"I have a question," Mr. Truict asks a reporter who stopped in at Brake Check to gauge local reaction to the new facility. "Do they actually do abortions there?"
"Yes," says the reporter. "They also provide other healthcare services to women."
"Oh. I was under the impression that they didn't. So they actually do abortions there . . ." Mr. Truict says, staring off.
"What did you think they did?" the reporter asks.
"Help plan families."
Smiley-face marketing had promoted the Choice Project as a sturdy, inviting, one-stop-shop for women's reproductive healthcare, so Mr. Truict's impression isn't surprising. But despite the balloons and a national public-relations effort, the words "Planned Parenthood" and "abortion" remain linked. Nationally, the federally funded group performs 225,000 abortions annually, with a reported yearly income of over $690 million.
Even all that cash couldn't keep the construction on schedule at Planned Parenthood's newest Texas facility-or put out the prairie fire that, ribbon-cutting aside, will keep the facility from opening its doors on time. Texas Contractors and Suppliers for Life, a grassroots pro-life group, organized an unprecedented construction boycott that hampered Planned Parenthood's progress for nearly a year-and triggered a wave of similar pro-life boycotts across the state.
At last week's ribbon-cutting, the Austin boycott's most obvious effect was the gaping void where the administration and education wing should've been standing. So desperate was Planned Parenthood to fill that space with concrete (and thereby avoid holding the Sept. 23 ceremony near a giant hole in the ground), it offered suppliers $200 per yard of concrete-four times its value-to pour a foundation. For weeks, no supplier took the bait. But just three days before the ceremony, a company called Yarrington Concrete broke the boycott, trucking in the concrete on a Sunday night.
By now Planned Parenthood should be used to that kind of 11th-hour nip and tuck. Texas Contractors and Suppliers for Life (TCSL), headed by no-nonsense concrete contractor and pro-life activist Chris Danze, last fall convinced 18 Austin-area concrete companies to refuse to supply concrete for the Choice Project. The boycott, which spread to other trades, finally drove away from the project the state's top general contractor, Browning Construction. The boycott delayed construction for months.
In January Planned Parenthood recruited another general contractor, Austin local Curtis Cline. It subcontracted slab-pouring to a financially and legally troubled concrete supplier who decided to provide the concrete for the 25,000-square-foot facility. Under cover of darkness on Jan. 28, trucks rolled onto the Choice Project job site and poured concrete from Rainbow Materials, whose owner, Ramon Carrasquillo, has faced prosecution for water pollution and related environmental violations.
After the boycott-breaking pour, Rainbow's sales numbers climbed. When CapMetro, the Austin area's mass transit authority, needed 14 acres of thick, reinforced concrete for a new bus-maintenance facility, Rainbow scored a significant portion of the plum contract, which was controlled by Curtis Cline.
Whether a quid pro quo connection existed between the bus-company contract and Rainbow's rescuing Mr. Cline from his Choice Project concrete dilemma is unclear. But federal authorities received complaints that Mr. Cline, in managing the bus-company contract, violated set-aside requirements designed to assist minority and disadvantaged businesses. Officials on Aug. 4 quietly removed from the project Mr. Cline and his concrete subcontractors, including Rainbow Materials.
Former Rainbow executives Mark Hamilton and Curtis Bruner have said that Mr. Carasquillo hoped to salvage his own business by supplying the Choice Project concrete. He abandoned the boycott, they said, after receiving a phone call from someone who promised to make his legal and financial problems "go away." Mr. Carrasquillo denies that. After nine months of public silence, he told WORLD that he decided to sell the concrete because he was obligated to protect the livelihood of his 100 employees and the well-being of their families.
Friends, colleagues, and opponents describe him as kind and generous. He describes himself as a devout Catholic who grew up in Catholic schools and still goes to mass every Sunday where his daughter is an altar girl. He said he "detests" abortion, but makes allowances in cases of rape or poverty.
"We are all Catholic and we all carry a Book and we all carry a cross and we all try to keep a balance," he said. "When the day comes, I hope I'm more on the pluses than the minuses. But that's a personal thing. . . . [My workers] have hung around with me in all of these tight economical situations and they're not hanging with me because I am putting my religious convictions above the business. They're hanging around with me because they believe I'm going to do what's legal and what's correct, but I'm doing what's best for business."
Mr. Carrasquillo said he doesn't have much respect for those who organize boycotts and protests. He said that in January he unsuccessfully invited TCSL contractors to join him in trying to address the causes of abortion by helping young mothers with free daycare, transportation, and school books. "That is a much tougher job than going there and standing in front of the Planned Parenthood building, and being a Superman, and making a lot of noise." There is no need, he said, for hardball tactics.
Mr. Danze said he can't account for all behavior of all pro-lifers, but defended TCSL's actions as "legal and ethical. We won't cross over to the illegal."
The management of the lucrative bus-facility contract may turn out to have been illegal, but even the money from that job couldn't save Rainbow. Still $5 million in debt, Mr. Carrasquillo on June 15 sold the firm to a competitor who, as it turned out, is a firm supporter of TCSL's pro-life boycott. That pinched Planned Parenthood again, shutting off the only ready source of concrete for the Choice Project. With no supplier, subcontractors were reduced to building curbs with concrete mixed in wheelbarrows "one bag at a time," according to Mr. Danze.
"If Ramon [Carrasquillo] hadn't caved they might still be waiting on concrete," said Mr. Danze. Still, he's not disappointed with the way events have unfolded. TCSL has already met its goals, he said: to stop construction or at least slow it down, and to make the process more expensive for Planned Parenthood.
Mr. Danze believes the boycott is a public-relations disaster for Planned Parenthood. TCSL's experience showed that it sometimes takes as little as one phone call to persuade a contractor to steer clear of working for an abortion business: "Pro-life people all over the country will say, 'Let's do that here!'" he said.
Some, at least in Texas, already have. Inspired by the success in Austin, the Houston Coalition for Life is organizing a construction boycott of a 45,000-square-foot abortion center in that city. The groups sent out 1,000 letters to Houston-area contractors in August.
In Dallas, the Catholic Pro-Life Committee is heading an effort to delay the retrofit of an Aaron's Women's Center abortion center to meet state standards for late-term abortion facilities. To comply with Texas law, late-term clinics now must be equipped to perform surgeries. Roel Garcia, an electrician and a minister, did not know he was working on an abortion business. After learning what would go on inside the Women's Center building, he walked away from the job.
Pro-lifers in Lufkin, Texas, are gearing up to boycott Planned Parenthood's likely attempt to "upgrade" its facility there to an abortion center. Mr. Danze expects them to succeed since Lufkin is a small city, making peer pressure and community standards powerful weapons.
Meanwhile in Austin, the Choice Project wing remains a mere slab in the ground, and Planned Parenthood by law cannot obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy until the entire project is done. The city can issue up to 60 days of temporary permits, but a city building inspector and boycott leaders expect Austin's famously liberal political hierarchy to exert pressure, allowing Planned Parenthood to slide along on temporary permits as long as it needs to.
And it may need to: Mr. Danze said a second-string general contractor and third-tier subcontractors may take weeks to complete the project. He has no illusions of stopping Planned Parenthood, but if delays carry into the holidays, the center is unlikely to open until well into 2005.

"This is without doubt the blackest day in the history of Brussels Airport. "
Hiring a Pilot in Today's Job Market
You might think that the recession and resultant glut of pilots would be a good thing if you're in hiring mode, and in a sense it is because it means you'll have plenty of applicants. But that can be bad news, too, because a large field of candidates can be tough to sift through. If a pilot comes from a recently closed flight department, you may have found a winner, but study long and hard the individual who was part of a reduction. A chief pilot faced with the need to cut personnel isn't likely to lay off his best people.
"The evaluation of candidates starts even before they arrive for an interview," said Doug Mykol, president of AirCare Solutions Group, which supplies pilots and other crew to flight departments. "Their e-mail address can tell you a lot about how they think. How can anyone expect to be taken seriously if their e-mail address is sleepy
firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com? I've actually received résumés from people with addresses like those."
Mykol also took issue with the photos included with some résumés. "Photos are nice to put a face with a résumé," he said, "but I've received a résumé with a photo of a woman on a beach in a thong and one from a pilot standing at a bar holding a beer. If their judgment is that bad for something like a résumé, do you really want them working with your executives, important clients and family?
"Watch candidates closely when they walk into your office," Mykol added. "I take a good look at what they're wearing and how they carry themselves. Dress codes today are far more relaxed than they were 30 years ago, but this is a job interview. It's an important business meeting. What you see is going to be what you get. If they don't respect you, don't expect them to respect anyone else, either.
Candidates should be mature enough to understand that people are judged by our choices, actions, dress, manner of speech and a myriad of other factors, Mykol continued. "If a candidate doesn't get it, do you really want him or her representing your company?"
Jodie Brown, president of the aviation recruiting firm Summit Solutions, agreed with Mykol and cautioned interviewers to dig deep. "Pilots love airplanes and love to fly," she said. "The real question is how well they play with others, such as a captain, second-in-command or cabin attendant."
Brown said being a competent pilot is just the starting point. "How does the candidate feel about trading seats with younger pilots to train them to be captain?" she asked. "How big is his or her ego? Will the candidate be competitive with other crew members or will they fit together like pieces of a puzzle? You don't want to hire someone who doesn't fit into your corporate culture."
Another issue Brown suggested exploring is how a candidate sees the relationship of the flight department to the rest of the company. "Do they understand that they are an extension of the corporation and not an independent department-that they're there to serve the company?"
Interviews Are Complicated
Brown said interviewing a candidate properly can be more complicated than many people realize. "We look beyond basic qualifications and try to see how committed they are," she explained. "How do they spend their time when they're waiting at FBOs? Do they play pool and watch TV or do they read the latest NOTAMS [hazard alerts from aviation authorities] and improve their skills? Are they self-reflective, meaning do they strive for self-improvement or do they have a difficult time receiving feedback? All of these things will come out with a professional interviewer."
The major advantages of using a specialized recruiting firm, according to Brown, include the fact that such firms know the network well enough to do an in-depth reference check. Also, they understand the industry enough to delve into technical and interpersonal aspects of the position and can provide a guarantee to go along with the chosen candidate.
Look Broadly at Capabilities
Brown also noted the value of observing candidates' behavior before, during and after the interview. "Do they have an ability to observe and respond to nuances in the people they encounter?" she asked. "How do they treat the receptionist? If you go to lunch, how do they treat the wait staff? How do they respond to being bombarded with questions? And be sure to feel them out about their flexibility. How do they feel about using older equipment? How are they with doing reports and extra assigned duties?"
Lars Turnquist, the retired director of aviation for a corporate flight department, also emphasized the need to look broadly at capabilities. "I didn't hire pilots--I hired [future] directors of operations," he said. "I only hired people who had the potential to be promoted.
"When the word gets out you're looking for a pilot, you're flooded with applications," he said. "It really isn't about money. We made it clear we paid our personnel according to the NBAA [National Business Aviation Association] salary survey. They came to us knowing roughly what to expect.
"In the interview," Turnquist continued, "applicants would tell me how they met the qualifications for the job in terms of ratings, experience and hours. I would tell them all that was a given. Everyone I interviewed met those criteria, but I didn't want someone who was just looking for a job; I wanted someone looking for a career. That caused more than a few to get a quizzical look. It was clear they didn't have a clue as to the difference.
"I once interviewed a young man who was fresh out of college and applying for an entry-level pilot position," Turnquist added. "During the interview, I asked him what he liked most about flying and his response was, 'I'll get to go to some cool places.' I thought perhaps he hadn't quite gotten the gist of what I was asking so I continued. 'But what attracted you to a career as a pilot?' He said it was because his father was an airline pilot and would pay for his education only if he went into aviation. I'd be surprised if anyone ever gave that young man a job."
Turnquist said he wanted to know how a job applicant distinguished himself. "I'd ask candidates to name three things they'd done in the previous year to make them better, more well-rounded professionals," he recalled. "Do they go to the NBAA convention? Have they taken NBAA's Certified Aviation Manager's test or were they in NBAA's Professional Development Program? Did they read professional publications or take college courses in appropriate fields? Do they really see this as a career or just a job? The individual you want to hire is the one who goes the extra mile without being asked."

I see that the product portal now shows 6.0.6 being released on 10 April 2010, whereas earlier this week 6.0.6 was scheduled to be released on 29 March 2010.
I know the dates in the product portal do not represent firm commitments by Zimbra, and frequently do shift as this one has done.
But we do have a few pending installs we were planning to do next week, so this two week delay does change things for us.
Can Zimbra provide any kind of guidance as to whether the 10 April date is likely to change again, as well as what it is that is causing the 29 March date not to be met?

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It's been a week since the controversy erupted over the Susan G. Komen Foundation de-funding breast cancer screenings for poor women at Planned Parenthood then reversing its decision.
While the furor has quieted, the controversy did help focus the spotlight on some other facilities that offer breast health services to women in the Metro area regardless of their ability to pay, such as lthe Capital Breast Care Center in Southeast Washington, D.C.
When Margie Singleton first came to the Capital Breast Care Center for a mammogram. She was like millions of Americans in this tough economy who were without a job that provided her with health benefits.
Margie Singleton told us, "I didn't have insurance at the time and I was able to come here and get great care. And I've been coming back ever since."
Caring for Metro area women like Margie, who are under insured or have no insurance at all, has been the mission of the Capital Breast Care Center since it opened in 2004.
The major barriers to preventive health services include lack of access to care and adequate follow-up treatment. Executive Director Beth Beck says the center offers mammograms, clinical and cervical exams, health education, even transportation to and from appointments.
"We screen about 2,000 women each year," shared Beck.
"Approximately about 1% of the women screened will come up positive for cancer and we navigate about 400 of them for diagnostic care and follow up treatment," Beck added.
CBCC has dramatically increased screening rates and they're are detecting cancers at twice the national average. Biopsies can be performed on site and patients sent to other locations for additional care will have a Patient Navigator by their side.
Beck said, "We have a pretty wide reach but still a significant population of women don't know we exist."
All women are welcome at the Center, even those who can afford to pay. Remember Margie? She is now employed, with health benefits and paying it forward. She's a volunteer at the center, and her insurance payments help subsidize mammograms for women who are in need.

Hi, I am looking for someone to create some hand drawn maps for a calendar project. The researcher will provide the basic location points so we would need the artist to create a few illustrated base maps and then using an overlay create a layer for the site locations and calligraphed place names. Previously we did a calendar on Historic Routes of Arabia (Inspiral Design - Calendars) where we had hand drawn maps so this will give you an idea of what I am talking about.
Please get in-touch if you think you can help.

Hello all,
I am new to Zimbra, and also very rusty with linux but I have been making due going through forums and my old linux books.
I have installed Zimbra 7.1.4 64bit on Centos 6.2 64bit and all of the server components are running. I have been playing around with the VMware Admin console and trying to setup a domain that my company had parked to we can test the server before migrating our normal domain over.
I was able to add our test domain inovapoint.com to the console and created an account. I can send emails out to my personal hotmail account but when I am trying to recieve emails they are being defered. The message I am getting is
Reason: Connect to xactemail.discoverture.com[188.8.131.52]:7025 Connection time out
The IP listed above is our production email server so I am not quite sure why this email server is trying to forward emails to it.
Edit: This server is also being hosted on a VPS and they have added the DNS and MX entry for my inovapoint.com domain.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Topic: Bug in sender_login_mismatch.py
Hi Zhang,
I have found a bug in the iRedAPd plugin sender_login_mismatch - it compares the sender and sasl username case sensitively.
I have fixed this in my plugin sources like this:
Original sender_login_mismatch.py line 29:
sender = kwargs['sender']
Fixed line 29:
sender = kwargs['sender'].lower()
The idea is as I think clear: as you do lowercase for sasl username, you should do lowercase also to sender address...
It would be also nice to note somewhere how to activate the iRedAPd checks for senders / I added the check as first to the smtpd_sender_restrictions but I'm not sure if it's the best...
Take care

A tuna farm is a floating cage in the open ocean, were tuna is born and feed until they reach the commercial size needed to be exported to Japan. The wasted produced by such a large quantity of tuna generate over nutrification of the water and red tides, reduces dissolved oxygen amounts, causes fish kills and damage to other resources of the gulf.
After all the protest and opposition to the farm, Costa Rica's Environmental Secretariat (SETENA) stated it would no longer consider Granjas Atuneras de Golfito SA's petition to construct a yellow fin tuna aquaculture project, or tuna farm, at the mouth of the Golfo Dulce. SETENA's decision permanently closes the case on Granjas Atuneras, meaning that finally justice is done.
The gulf now is protected against tuna farm pollution, preserving the rich waters of Golfo Dulce. We can be certain that community efforts on keeping the health of this paradise will never stop, and the Nicuesa family is going to support these efforts every time!

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) -- Emergency and hazardous material crews were called to West Springfield High School around 9:30 Thursday morning for a possible overdose or chemical reaction involving several students.
Ambulances transported four teenage boys, ages 18, 17, 17, and 15, to a local hospital, according to Paul Regnier, spokesperson for Fairfax County Schools.
Fire officials said one of the students was transported with advanced life support because his situation was more grave, although none was experiencing life-threatening conditions.
Within an hour, the hazmat crews determined there was no chemical in the building making students stick. A police spokesperson said it appeared the students may have been "smoking something," and that narcotics may have been used, yet no illegal drug was found.
"It was near where the choir rehearses. It was pretty isolated. It wasn't around a bunch of students. The substance is under investigation by police," said Deputy Fire Chief Dereck Baker.
But since no illegal substance was found, police said they have nothing to investigate.
Baker said the teens would be tested for drugs, and Regnier confirmed they have the legal authority to test students suspected of doing drugs on school grounds, though he did not comment on this particular case.
A source says the four boys were smoking marijuana near the choir room. The source says a medic told a teacher that one of the boys had a seizure, possibly due to pot that was laced with a more potent drug, or chemically-engineered. When the one boy had the bad reaction, the others apparently called for help.
The source says the four boys are two seniors, a junior and a sophomore and that one of the boys is the son of a pastor.

USAFA, CO (Sports Network) - Carl Hall tallied a double-double with 21 points
and 10 rebounds as the Wichita State Shockers held off the Air Force Falcons,
72-69, as part of the Mountain West/Missouri Valley Conference Challenge at
Clune Arena.
Hall made 9-of-10 field goal attempts for Wichita State (8-0), which remains
unbeaten. Cleanthony Early added 12 points and Demetric Williams netted 10
points for the Shockers.
For Air Force (6-2), Mike Fitzgerald scored 18 points, Taylor Broekhuis had 17
points, and Michael Lyons chipped in 12 points.
Both teams shot 50 percent or greater from the floor in the first half and the
game was tied 32-32 at intermission.
Wichita State took a 39-37 lead early in the second half and it would not
surrender the advantage for the rest of the game. Broekhuis stepped to the
foul line for the Falcons with seven seconds left down 70-68, but he made just
1-of-2 to make it a one point game. After Malcolm Armstead hit a pair of free
throws for the Shockers, Lyons missed a three-pointer at the buzzer that would
have tied the game.
The Shockers were able to overcome 19 turnovers by outrebounding the Falcons,

Delete the category from the To: field, and then copy and paste the sender's e‑mail address to that field.
To prevent this from happening again, rename the category so that it doesn't match the sender's name.
This happens only when you reply to a message with this issue, not when you create or forward a message.
S/MIME certificates need to be re-established
S/MIME (Secure/ Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a security standard for public key encryption and the signing of e‑mail with a digital ID or certificate. If you use the Secure Mail (certificates) feature of Windows Live Mail to send or receive mail, you'll need to re-establish your S/MIME certificate and the certificates of each of your contacts with whom you exchange secure e‑mail.
You can set up your own S/MIME certificate by selecting the correct certificate in Windows Live Mail:
In Windows Live Mail, click the Menu button on the toolbar, and then click Safety options.
Click the Security tab.
In the Secure Mail section, click Digital IDs.
In the Certificates dialog box, select the certificate you use for your S/MIME e‑mail.
You can set up the certificate for each of your contacts by adding the certificate to your contact list:
In the main window of Windows Live Mail, select an e‑mail message you've received from that contact that includes a digital certificate.
Click the certificate icon for that e‑mail.
Click View certificates.
Click Add to contacts.
Conversation window: Chinese/Japanese/Korean IME (Input Method Editor) reset to English in the Messenger conversation window
On a computer running Windows XP SP2 or SP3, if you receive an instant message while the Messenger main window is closed, and then try to type Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters in the conversation window using IME, the input mode will be reset to English and you won't be able to input Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters. To resolve this, reopen the Messenger main window and then resume typing in the conversation window.
Video: Webcam control and effects add-ins may stop working and not appear for webcams
Some webcam manufacturers provide controls for camera operations or effects that you can apply to the video experience within Messenger. These add-ins may stop working. If you don't see the webcam manufacturer's camera control and effects icon under your display picture in Messenger during a video call or webcam session, please consult your hardware manufacturer for an update.
Voice and video calls to Messenger beta or Messenger won't work
Voice and video calls can't be made between the beta version and the new release version of Messenger; or between Windows Messenger and release version of Windows Live Messenger. To use voice and video calls, the sender and receiver both need to install the latest version of Windows Live Messenger from http://download.live.com.
Sharing photos: Supported file types for sharing photos in Messenger
Messenger supports only .png, .jpg, .bmp, and .gif image formats. Any other image formats may not work correctly in Messenger.
Sharing photos: Photos can't be saved after a contact stops sharing photos
You can save photos in Messenger only while both people are actively sharing photos. If your contact has stopped sharing photos, you won't be able to continue saving photos.
Groups: Group members might not be able to join the group conversation
Sometimes group members appear online or available under a group within the Messenger main window, but are unable to join the group conversation. This happens when a group member is using a program that doesn't support groups, such as a previous version of Messenger, Xbox, Messenger for mobile, etc.
Groups: The group status shown in the Messenger main window may appear to conflict with the status of members within the group
It's possible that the status for a group may appear as offline, while members of the group listed below the group name in the main window may show as online. This is because the group status message shows the behavior when the group conversation window is opened.
Groups: The group's e‑mail address doesn't appear in Messenger
There's no entry point to the group's e‑mail address in Messenger. If you want to see the group e‑mail address, right-click the group's name in Messenger, and then click Go to group website. On the group website, you can see the group e‑mail address.
Groups: Some actions can be done only on the group's website
Some management actions (such as viewing or canceling pending invitations, removing members, and changing member roles or a group's name) can be done only on the group's website. To do these tasks, you must be an owner of the group. To quickly access the group management pages on the web, right-click the group in the Messenger main window, and then click Group Settings.
Groups: When inviting new members, you can't see who has already been invited
When you're selecting contacts to invite to a group, Messenger doesn't filter out any contacts who have already been invited to the group. However, contacts who have already been invited won't receive a new invitation.
Users under 13 with limited privileges can't sign in to Messenger
In accordance with permissions on the account, users who are younger than 13 years old (according to their Windows Live ID registered information) whose account privileges have been set to Limited won't be able to sign in to Messenger.
Form Fill, Favorites, and other button add-ons don't appear on Toolbar
When you upgrade from an earlier version of Toolbar, you will no longer see Form Fill, button add-ons from gallery.live.com, and other add-ons such as the Feed detector, Highlight Viewer, MSN Games, Popup Blocker, and Tabbed Browsing. The Favorites add-on has been replaced with the Favorites Sync feature in Toolbar.
After uninstalling Windows Live Essentials and installing the latest version of Writer, Writer doesn't start
To solve this issue:
Click Start, and then click in the Start search box.
In the search bar, type regedit, and then press Enter.
Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer
Select this key and then back up everything in it by clicking the File menu, and then clicking Export.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs
Click each key in the left pane.
In the right pane, look for ClientType = WindowsLiveSpacesAtom.
Delete any key that contains ClientType = WindowsLiveSpacesAtom.
Duplicate images appear in the Blog Images folder on OneDrive
This is intentional. There are two images: a smaller image appears in the post and a larger image appears when the image in the post is clicked. If you delete any of the images,
the pictures in your blog posts won't appear correctly.
Publishing posts with previous versions of Writer and then browsing the Blog Images folder on OneDrive creates multiple Blog Images folders
To solve this issue, install the newest version of Windows Live Writer (http://writer.live.com). Don't delete the duplicate Blog Images folders. If you delete these folders, the pictures in your blog posts won't appear correctly.
If you've already signed in to Windows Live, and then you try to sign up for a new Windows Live ID from Writer, you'll see a blank webpage
If you want to sign up for a new Windows Live ID, you must go to the Windows Live website. Go to http://home.live.com and click Sign up.
The Options dialog will no longer open in Writer if you've added a glossary link that has no text
This issue occurs if you've inserted a link with no text in the Text to be displayed box of the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. If you encounter this error, take the following steps.
Close Writer.
If your operating system is:
Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to: C:\Users\<Username>\appdata\Roaming\Windows Live Writer\LinkGlossary
Windows XP, go to: C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Windows Live Writer\LinkGlossary
Delete the linkglossary.xml file.
Re-open Writer.
If you publish a blog post set to a previous date on Windows Live Spaces, the post will display the current date
To solve this issue, set the post to the correct date in Writer, and then republish.
Movie Maker wasn't installed with Windows Live Essentials
Movie Maker requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you install Windows Live Essentials using any other operating system, Movie Maker won't be installed.
Movie Maker can't start if your computer doesn't have Windows Media Player installed
Windows Live Movie Maker uses some components of Windows Media Player. Movie Maker can't start if it's installed on a version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 that doesn't include Windows Media Player, and you haven't installed Windows Media Player yourself.
To solve this issue, install Windows Media Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx.
Media can't be added from a network or external drive
You can only add media to Movie Maker from your local hard drive.
Movie Maker doesn't support certain file types
To see a list of supported file types, visit this link: http://g.live.com/DMWLMMv1/22
Or, in Movie Maker, click the Help button, and then search for file types.
Support for using MPEG-2 and Microsoft Recorded TV Show video files in your movies is available only if your computer is running one of the following versions of Windows: Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 7 Ultimate.
Depending on the camera you use to record video, you may need to install your camera's editing software before you can decode video in Movie Maker.
Movie Maker may stop working after a Remote Desktop session
If you try to run Movie Maker from a Remote Desktop session, you may have to restart Movie Maker when you connect back directly to the console.
Movie Maker may not run properly on some video hardware
Movie Maker makes extensive use of your video card's GPU (graphics processing unit). PCs with video cards that aren't intended for high-end graphics usage may encounter issues rendering video and effects in Movie Maker.
Videos may not render in Movie Maker if Nero software is installed on your PC
Some Nero software installs video filters that may conflict with Movie Maker. If you encounter this issue, please contact the software manufacturer to see if an update to their software is available. For an immediate workaround, you can unregister the NDParser.ax installed by Nero Ahead. You'll need to re-register NDparser.ax to allow Nero to function correctly again.
To unregister or re-register NDParser.ax, do the following:
On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type: CD %programfiles%\Common Files\Ahead\DSfilter and then press Enter.
To unregister or re-register NDParser.ax, do one of the following:
To unregister, type: regsvr32 NDParser.ax /u and then press Enter.
To re-register, type: regsvr32 NDParser.ax and then press Enter.
Only TrueType fonts are supported in Movie Maker
Movie Maker supports TrueType fonts only. If you select a Raster font, Movie Maker will default back to the Arial font.
AVCHD performance might be poor on slower PCs or when displaying high-bitrate content in Movie Maker
AVCHD is a format for recording and playback of high definition video compressed in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video format, with audio recorded in Dolby Digital. AVCHD video files can be used in Movie Maker only if your computer is running one of the following editions of Windows 7: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 7 Ultimate.
Photo Gallery is dependent on the Windows Imaging Component (WIC)
Some functionality in Photo Gallery requires an update to the Windows Imaging Component (WIC). If you disabled the Windows Update service in Windows Vista or Windows 7, then this WIC update isn't installed, and some Photo Gallery features won't work (for example, saving people tags to your photos). To enable Windows Update, log on to your computer as the Administrator, and then do the following:
Type Services, and then press Enter.
Right-click Windows Update
, and then select Properties.
Set Startup Type to Automatic, and then click Start.
To verify that Windows Update is running:
Type Windows Update
, and then press Enter.
In the left pane, click Check for Updates.
If updates are detected, and you don't receive error 80244021, the service has started successfully.
You can't select Photo Gallery to run as default in the Windows AutoPlay dialog box or other default programs lists on 64-bit versions of Windows
To resolve this issue, you can run a registry file provided by Windows Live to enable this functionality.
Make sure you're logged in as an Administrator on your computer.
Go to the following link: http://g.live.com/DMWLPGv14/120
prompted, run the file WLPGX64fix.reg.
After upgrading to Windows 7, you can't download photo albums from photos.live.com
To solve this issue, you need to repair your installation of Windows Live Photo Gallery.
On the WindowsStart menu, click Control Panel, click Programs, click Programs and Features, and then in the list, click Windows Live Essentials
Click Uninstall/Change.
Click Repair, and then click Continue.
The installer will repair your Windows Live programs.
Close all instances of Internet Explorer, and then re-open Internet Explorer.
Open the album you were having trouble with, and try downloading it again.
Family Safety may not work with EarthLink TotalAccess or Protection Control Center
Family Safety Filter may not work properly if you have EarthLink TotalAccess or Protection Control Center products installed on your computer running Windows XP. To resolve this, uninstall these programs by doing the following:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Category view, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
Click the program you want to uninstall, and then click Remove.
An error may occur if you have an extra DLL file in your System32 folder
You might receive the following message when you open the Family Safety Filter on a computer running Windows XP:
"The procedure entry point IsThreadDesktopComposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll"
This probably means there is a file dwmapi.dll in your Windows XP System32 folder. To solve this issue, remove the .dll file by doing the following:
Click Start, and then click My Computer.
Double-click the hard disk icon for C:\.
Double-click the WINDOWS folder, and then double-click the system32 folder.
Find the file dwmapi.dll, and then delete it.

My Most Used Kitchen Appliance
Feb. 9, 2015
I purchased my 4 quart Nesco Roaster about 25 years ago, and it's still going strong. I use it at least once a week or more. I love this roaster and use it for everthing, including my homemade spaghetti. I have gone through many crock pots but they never perform or hold up like my Nesco Roaster. I finally gave up on crock pots completely and use my Nesco for slow cooking as well as roasting. My family has grown considerably now so I'm purchasing a larger one. You can't do better than a Nesco Roaster.

Best equipment I've ever used
Oct. 10, 2013
I've been cooking for over 60 years, and have NEVER cooked a chicken as moist and luscious as the one I made this week. I was shocked that such a fabulous tasting bird took only 2 hours with the convection air process, using high temperature cooking. Even my husband agreed that this was most definitely the best he's ever tasted. (I didn't have to coerce him).
I also made a pot roast, Asian flavor, which eating it was like being at the best gourmet restaurant in the world. This was the first item I cooked, and it was overnight. I was so nervous that I got up 4 times to look at it. The veges I put in it were unbelievably excellent. My sister, who doesn't like "stringy" meat, actually ate seconds.
Thanks for this wonderful machine, producing meals that are yummy!

Hey i was just lookin around the internet today and saw about the Farmageddon name for the Kansas State game. I must not have gotten on here enough during that week and just now learned about it.
I was wondering how this name came about and how much weight it has to being an actual "rivalry" game with a trophy.

ISU needs to get their **** together and TM it.
This won't turn into a traditional "rivalry" game. K-State doesn't want to play in KC any longer, even though JP is willing to give away a home game every other year to play at Arrowhead. I doubt anyone will keep calling the game Farmageddon if the two teams only play in KC once every two years.
why wouldn't it be called that regardless of where it's played? it's more of who the 2 teams are then where the game is played

But it will be the last game of the regular season from here on out -- or until there's more conference shakeup.

I really hope we have done this....screw EIU and kNU
Run a search on CF for "Farmageddon" to see who came up with it.

Find your own damn name Iowa and Nebraska, Farmageddon is taken.
Missouri River Rivalry
Battle for the Muddy Mo
Battle for the Bluffs
Battle for the Loess
Battle for the Tall Grass Prairie
I-80 Rivalry
Corn Bowl
Farmageddon (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cannot an individual or enterprise (CF) TM the name and award it to whomever they choose?
I started a petition a while back to make this game a trophy game and it got a few signatures
Farmageddon...no thanks, don't even want to hear any more about it...we don't need to give away any more to K-State. I'm actually not too happy this one is in craptastic Manhattan next year, as they were the home team this season. Another casualty over the summer.
I don't see why this game needs to be played in Arrowhead to be called "Farmageddon". We can call it that and play it in Ames and Manhattan.
One thing's for sure and that's whatever happens with conferences going forward, we're probably going to be playing KSU every year.
And I hate the idea of Nebraska and Iowa using it. Iowa is not an ag school.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
I could think of a lot more colorful names for the Nebby/Hawk match up.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Tim Kennedy produced the game-winning score
late in the third period, as the San Jose Sharks ended a seven-game losing
streak with a 2-1 decision over the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center.
Joe Thornton also scored and Antti Niemi came up with 25 saves for the Sharks,
who hadn't won since Jan. 31, capping a streak of seven consecutive wins from
the start of the season.
Patrik Berglund provided the sole offense for the Blues, whose three-game win
streak came to an end. Jake Allen played well in defeat, stopping 23 shots.

Hello all,
First of, great job on ZD 2.0! I really enjoyed the 1.x series and the 2.0 series is even better! Please keep up the fantastic work!
I'm seeing some small issues though on ZD 2.0 for Linux.
1. If I set my replies to "Use prefix" to put a > at the beginning of each line in a reply, >s don't appear when I restart ZD and reply to a message. The setting is still set in the preferences, but the behavior isn't applied upon reply. To get around it, I need to go into the Preferences every time I start ZD, de-select "Use prefix", save preferences, re-select it, and save preferences.
2. Replies can "Use headers" (which is very verbose) or not ("----- Original Message -----"). ZD 1.x used to do what most traditional email systems do ("On Wed, Sep 01, 2010 at 02:26:19PM -0400, Bob Smith wrote:"). Is there any way to get this behavior back?
3. How can I get replys to always be plain text? This doesn't happen for me. I don't have "Reply/Forward using format of the original message" checked and I do have "Compose: As Text" checked.

Associated Press Release
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- A Columbus man accused of dousing his girlfriend in lighter fluid and setting her on fire has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
The Ledger Enquirer of Columbus reports 35-year-old Robert Williams was arrested Wednesday morning and his 44-year-old girlfriend is hospitalized in critical condition with burns to her face, neck, chest and hands.
Williams told police he was trying to light a cigarette in bed when it combusted and set him and his girlfriend on fire. The victim's daughter told a judge the man poured lighter fluid on the woman, and police say they found an empty lighter fluid container in a bathroom trashcan.
Public Defender Charles Lykins argued the aggravated assault charge should be dropped.
Bond for Williams has been set at $100,000.

My Friends and i have been designing a Free to Play MMORPG and have kinda switched gears. We were gonna use a map from a now defunct mmorpg. But, have now decided to use a map especially for us. What we need is a 3d fantasy map (High in mountainous regions - to help with lag issues) Preferably on medieval parchment. We plan to include some humorous things We plan to allow players the chance to explore and find new areas. we need roads, cave entrances, the normal hoop de'la of map making. I cannot offer money as this is a Free to play and the only plans we have are to include a store at some point in development. I can offer you a chance to view the world walk around it and test things out. Your input as we build would be nice, but you wont have to. Please contact me via email firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you
