I certainly didn't enjoy it last week. Was this down to tiredness and the need for something uncomplicated just to relax with? That the wine clashed with the food and I was too exhausted to notice? Or down to the wine itself, appearing overly tart with a really heavy, noticeable spritz?
Perhaps though it just wasn't showing well at that time, it being a 'leaf' day an' all.
By coincidence the following morning copies of When Wine Tastes Best arrived and showed that the from 11 am of the 12th right through to 1 o'clock in the afternoon the following Sunday is a depressingly long 'leaf' period - along with Root a time to avoid tasting wine. (Fruit days and Flower days are the best times to taste/drink wine).
This bio-dynamic calendar is rather controversial - witness the comments left when I wrote about the 2010 release of the calendar back in September 2009. While I can appreciate that the moon, for example, exerts a huge influence on the rhythm of live here on this little blue-green world the addition of the constellations seems, to me, a little too far. Still if you want to show a wine at its very best ensuring it is tasted on a flower or fruit day can't hurt and, just might, aid its showing!
However and to quote from the pocket guide
"If you find yourself with an open bottle of wine on a root or leaf day don't despair. It has been suggested that some types of wine, particularly older bottles (4-5 years or more) can sometimes be favourably drunk on leaf days".
The 2011 edition of When Wine Tastes Best 2011: A Biodynamic Calendar for Wine Drinkers has just been released and is available from Amazon.co.uk for just £2.99.
For those IPhone addicts a free app is available - Wine Tonight - which tells you whether or not the day is a favourable one for drinking wine.
I see the next wine tasting I am organising (#ARSE 2 - Andrew's Really Secret Event) next Sunday falls on a ---- day. This I assume is worse than a Leaf or a Root day! Not good...
With the looming second edition of Andrew's Really Secret Event and me planning the details (you know, ordering bags of Twiglets, bottle openers, baby wipes) I fondly recalled the first tasting, in the Naval Club in London, and how after I was unexpectedly pulled into a taxi and whisked away to South London somewhere (Blackheath as it transpired) for a meal. I felt rather bad about abandoning those still standing after the tasting mid-street, but off I was dragged to, as it transpired, to a lovely little eatery trading under the name of Chapters. You may of heard of it. It's been positively reviewed and sampled by the food blogging community quite substantially. Interesting then to try first hand.
Thank goodness for the photographic evidence for I wouldn't have a clue what I ate.
Not that the evening wasn't memorable - the company was grand (man-about town Douglas Blyde - pictured - and Mnr. Fish, Patrick Carpenter), the pre-lunch cocktail did its stuff, the atmosphere was cool and the privileged tour of the kitchen and its famed Josper grill was a nice topping - but you know, it's that bad memory thang. In my defence it was back in May...
The starter was really interesting; Terrine of potted ham hock and black pudding, Piccalilli, grilled sour dough. The odd thing though was the honey on the bread. Not a great fan of honey at the best of times and I didn't really enjoy its edition here. But the terrine, presented in an individual Mason Jar was divine. Substantial amounts of terrine but not enough bread.
This poorly focused photo is of the mains. A juicy slice of beef given the once over in the Josper. Perfectly cooked - medium rare according to the adjacent knife - and stonking with a dribble or two of Bergerie de l'Hortus Rouge 2008, Pic Saint Loup, Languedoc, France (£28.00). Pic Saint Loup being a particular favourite of mine.
There was a dessert too apparently but then that memory thing kicks in. if only I was a 'proper' journalist and took copious notes at the time. I'd only forget where I put the notebook though and head off to Asda to buy a new one.

The grapes - organically grown Cabernet Sauvignon - come from this region, and from one of the larger producers in Greece, Tsantali. There website incidentally shows a different label; something not quite so muted, colourful almost,. Perhaps as this wine is from the 2005 vintage they have made some changes since.
But as I am so often reminded its the stuff in the bottle that counts. (But then I brought it simply because it DOES have a three pincered crab on the label, and for the fact it is on offer at Waitrose at the moment).
With a need for something to accompany a plate of Beef Stroganoff (yeh, I know kinda retro but damn quick to cook) using the superlative Pipers Farm Entrecote Steak I was hoping this Cabernet would have a touch of rusticity and power to match the food. I weren't wrong as it happens.
Braced by a decent structure the flavours of blackfruits and blueberries ride high; a great punchy little Cabernet from an unusual source, for Greek wines, despite the efforts of many, are not at the fore-front of the wine-drinkers thoughts.
This bottle would also be a great sample for any Cabernet Day tastings you might be attending. Cabernet Day, September 2nd, is being organised by the Napa based St. Supery Winery. I've had one invite to a tasting meal at Bute Rotissere in London, but I just can't make it... this would have been perfect...
Use the #Cabernet hash tag when posting on Facebook, Foursquare, Gowalla, Twitter, blogs and all the other sites you hang out on. Search the hash tag on social sites to see what other wine drinkers are saying. You'll be able to connect and chat with other Cab drinkers around the world. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet dominated blends are welcome!
We came to a compromise. Being the restaurant head at the Montagu Arms he suggested I sample the Bordeaux and if not to my liking he would open the Italian. Nice chap is Cedric the Belgian.
To start though a bottle of Trimbach's Pinot Blanc 2007 caused no problem and proved a rather fine choice to accompany my starter of "Spiced Diver Caught Scallops with Cauliflower Puree Apple, Coriander and Cumin Velouté" (£18) wasn't bad either with the bloke sitting across the table and his choice of "Chilled Cucumber and Horseradish Velouté with Home Smoked Organic Salmon and Avruga Caviar" (£13). The scallops had an interesting textural addition, rice deep fried... Freshly baked bread and locally churned butter (with 3% sea salt) and we were off...
I should have mentioned the Gourgeres we savoured outside on the terrace beforehand. Oh and the plate of nuts and olives were delicious and made the wine decisions an overly protracted affair.
As it transpired the claret did have a rather nice floral quality to the nose but you know what, I'm just not a fan of claret! The Barbera though was sensational and all the more perfect with the chef's special of the night a perfectly water-bathed steak with home grown beans. And indeed they are home grown as you can wander through the kitchen garden with ease (it's through the terraced gardens to the right a little after the croquet lawn). It was here, betwixt the chicken pens and tomato stuffed poly tunnels that I turned my Canon to the film mode and caught the head chef, Roux Scholar Matthew Tomkinson, chat to my dining companion Douglas Blyde.
"For a unique dining experience, Matthew will create a surprise seven-course tasting menu from the best of the day's seasonal produce. Menus will not be presented at the table. Instead dishes will be described to guests as they are served."
Each course is presented with a wine pairing - giving Cedric a chance to delve into the wine list - for a cost of £110 per person. Next time perhaps...
We abandoned the idea of accompanying the dessert with a suggested wine, coffee sufficed at this stage (blaming those pre-dining double G&T's), but my "Dark Chocolate Delice with Crispy Praline Lavender Ice Cream and Burnt Orange Syrup" (£10) has the recommendation of a glass of Skillgalee Liqueur Muscat from Australia (£6.50) while Dougie-boy's "Warm Pistachio Sponge Cake with Rhubarb Sorbet, Rhubarb Compote and Vanilla Custard" (£10) would have been even better perhaps with a glass of 2007 Höpler Trockenbeerenauslese, from Berganland in Austria (£12.75).
Our new best Belgian friend hasn't been at the Montague Arms for much more than 4 weeks; the wine list by his own admission needs a little tweeking and less reliance on just one supplier but I will have to insist that the Barbera is retained; 'cause it was just gorgeous with that Tomkinson-caressed steak. The claret went 'quite nicely' with the Pigeon.
Simply one of the most joyous and tasty meals I've had the pleasure to consume.

So Conan the Barbera it is; a bottle ordered (from FindWine) simply on its pun-drenched title.
Love the name, love the wine (hate the dirty, tatty look to the label). A damn decent Italian red. A barbera at the richer, robust end of the scale. Still offering a rustic edge, a bright acidic sword-thrust on the finish, something four-legged, gripped between those muscular thighs on the nose; the man's important bits wrapped in an expensive silk cloth.
It is rich, big, rather beefy... oh my; is there a word that implies 'big' enough to encapsulate this bottle? Oh, yeh there is... Conan. More attractive than an Arnold Schwarzenegger incarnation I should add...
The rear label, mucky design apart, is a blast:
"Well done! You picked it up and hey, you're reading the back label. I like you already, you're my type of person - daring, not too conventional... great.
Now can I ask you a personal question? - do you like big, muscly Italians? If that's a no, well it was nice to know you, if just for a short while (sigh)
But if you DO, then I had a go at creating this energetic, bold, single vineyard Barbera from the hills just above Nizza in NW Italy, just for us.
It is a big, sappy, juicy, very focused, deliciously current in the middle and intriguingly minerally around the edges.
It hasn't been fined, filtered or faffed about with, which means it will throw a sediment - so just keep your teeth together when you get to the very last drop of the very last glass! "
Rather than dismissing yet another "wine lifestyle network" - think Snooth, Adegga and another launching soon idea, DrinkPrice - lets see what they say there "absurdly ambitious project" will be offering:
"Some specifics: hundreds of winery websites worldwide, global Wine Dining Guide & Events Calendar, Magazine & Blogs, MyHaidu (a sort of a social network, though the Haidu folks don't like to define it like that) and websites of key players of the wine trade, from event organizers, through wine schools and universities, traders & merchants, wine tourism agencies - the list just doesn't end...
Haidu offers wine lovers around the world relevant, practical information to discover and plan their next wine experience, to expand their wine horizons.
Let's say you think about traveling to Mosel Valley for your vacance. You simply type Mosel Valley in Haidu.net search window (in its clean & elegant homepage) and before your eyes unveils a list of the valley's wineries, 'wine-friendly' restaurants, wine-related events, magazine articles & blog posts about Mosel. You can quickly tag the entities to your liking with vacance 2011 and they are automatically saved to a specified folder in your MyHaidu universe"
Easy to deduce then that Haidu will be offering a heck of a lot more than a wine tasting database. All the Haidu information is drawn from the "players themselves"
"The wineries manage their own websites, the event organizers publish their own events, even the restaurants create their own sites around Haidu's review of them. All this guarantees clean, reliable information, without any middleman distortion"
The social aspects haven't been ignored as you will be able to share, highlight, follow and receive updates from each section. There is of course going to be a Haidu iPhone App.
Just a few days then before we can all explore and engage further...
Desiderio Jeio, rounded, appley, peachy, flowery-fragrant it might be but it is not actually 100% Prosecco! No, I hear you cry! Yes, says I. Along with 90% Prosecco there is 6% Pinot Bianco and 4% Verdiso. Its fresh, light and with bubbles aplenty. Lively and with a dash of sweetness to give a lovely rounded mouth feel and crowd-pleasing drinkability. Great for cocktails in addition to being a canapé accompaniment. Alcohol 11.5%. [Adegga / Snooth]
The Crede, the work-horse Prosecco, is also a blend. Here extra Pinot Bianco (10%) and 5% Verdiso lend a more stylish edge to the wine. Still with that trademark peachy-flowery nose and apply flavours coupled with the vibrant fizz. Alcohol 11.5%. This is the wine for making those quintessential peach Bellinis although its lovely straight with or without food. Alcohol 11.5%. Vintage 2009. [Adegga / Snooth]
The Cartizze hill, the highly expensive slopes of which produce the crème of the Prosecco producers range, supplies the grapes for Bisol's Cartizze botteling (unsurprisingly). This is 100% Prosecco and the sweetest of the three. (25g per litre for the technical minded compared with 9g in the Jeio and 10g in the Crede). You have to be a little judicious when pairing with food - while it has a modicum of sweetness it isn't enough to accommodate really sweet desserts - think lighter fruit-based fare or simple biscuits. The limited production from the Cartizze hill is responsible for the high bottle price but this has to be my favourite Prosecco of the three. This is the 2009 vintage. Alcohol 11.5% [Adegga / Snooth
But this is exactly what Hix and Buck are recommending to accompany a dish of Baked Apple with Melted Goats Cheese, Potato Galette with Walnut Balsamic Dressing; the wine being their its Mas d'Intras Cuvée d'Alphonse 2007 Vin de Pays des Coteaux de l'Ardèche.
The dish was created by Sebastien Gagnbe Head Chef of Perfect Blend the "south London café, bar and restaurant". Hix and co had sent over a bottle so a try-out was in order.
The dish (recipe below) was fine, despite my disaster with getting the 'petals' of the galette to stick together (how do you do that??), resulted in a tasty, if light dinner. (More suited to a starter or lunch dish perhaps). But paired with the wine? And the wine itself, basking in Southern French rusticity was firm, strong and flavoursome in a red fruits and spice manner. But really, matching with sweetened apples and a salad? Not for me I'm afraid. My thoughts move to wild boar sausages or barbequed lamb burgers.
Alcohol 13.5%.

"The Wine Opus (published by DK, October 2010) harnesses the talent and opinions of a new generation of young wine writers to help you choose the best wines. Over 30 specialists have selected the 4,000 best wineries in the world and their trophy wines. Read their recommendations, from the Rhône to Rioja, from Napa to New Zealand, and from the Mosel to Mendoza in Argentina, and you will never buy bad wine again.
The Wine Opus is the most ambitious illustrated wine reference to be written in the last 20 years. It is contemporary, covering the emerging wine regions and rising star wineries as well as well-established wine countries and their producers. It is comprehensive, giving insightful overviews of every significant wine region in the world. It is accessible, with its 100-word profiles of the 4,000 recommended wineries and their wine styles. And it is elegant, with its contemporary page design, 45 colourful maps of wine regions to tour, and stunning photography of winery landscapes.
Many of the writers featured in The Wine Opus are young, with a taste for adventure that drives them to discover new wine-makers - and reject those whose standards have slipped. They are wine bloggers, book authors, newspaper and magazine journalists; others are television broadcasters, Masters of Wine, and a few are winemakers themselves. Each writer has an intimate knowledge on his or her region and has recently tasted all the wines they recommend.
Their criteria for including a winery in the book were:
Top Winery
• Makes wine of very high or outstanding quality
• Has a long track record for quality relative to its region
• Makes well-known collectible or special occasion wines
• Is a leader in its region in grape-growing and/or winemaking techniques
• Performs particularly well in a special wine category
Rising Star Winery
• Makes wine of very high or outstanding quality
• Shows potential to be tomorrow's classic winery
• Has been innovative in choice of variety, grape-growing and/or winemaking techniques
• May have a great price/quality ratio
If you enjoy drinking good wine, The Wine Opus gives you the names you need to know and introduces you to the new world of wine."
The Wine Opus is published by DK on 1st October 2010 price: £50 although Amazon are currently listing the The Wine Opus at a pre-order price of £37.50.
And, before I upset anyone even more, the bellini is made from Bisol Prosecco and fresh peaches...
The lagoon surrounded city offers a host of eateries - more informal restaurants than Danieli's many offering damn decent Cichetti, the Italian equivalent of Spanish Tapas.
You could join the tourist throngs with their picture menus if you like, but that's not for me. I'd prefer a little local action even if this means an embarrassing struggle with the lingo, pointing and manic 'tourist abroad' smiling at the unusual shell-encased dishes behind the counter-glass or eccentric wine bottles on the shelves behind.
Local is good. More so when you realise that most of the other patrons are locals too.
I hear more than one visitor has suffered extreme disorientation trying to locate some of these little gems (or was it just the hotel, Douglas? excellent write-up though). A decent map or a guide might be useful - those Iphone-possessors should utilise a superb little English language app that I played with while in Venice (TapVenice).
From the S. Lucia railway station and Scalzi Church cross over the Grand Canal via the Scalzi Bridge, wander down to the left passing the church of S. Simeon Piccoto, turn left at the little bridge and walk down to Fondamenta Minotto and you are there! Yeh, you need a map! Ristorante Ribot (Santa Croce 158, Fondamenta Minotto, Rio del Gaffaro, 30124 Venice) has an attractive wine shop attached, a magnet in itself, but the relaxing, covered rose garden at the back is well worth trying to get a table in. If you know the right nod and can wink meaningfully you might be lucky in being given access to a 'secret wine list' - this includes a whole raft of older vintages of Sassicia for example and other very limited gems.
No producers obviously - the wines were picked from a chalked list on the side wall - but a nicely perfumed Gewurztraminer and a glass of Tocai Friulano were procured at Bacaro da Fiore. The latter wine all fruity-minerality and the better match to the freshest plate of prawns I've enjoyed since Madrid and to a fine plate of fried courgette flowers. At a corner table a huge bowl of tiny welk-like shellfish was devoured by two youngsters; they do a lot of odd shellfish do the Venetians apparently.
Bacaro de Fiore - described as a half-taven, half-bar - specialises in just the wines of the Triveneto (that's the land immediately behind Venice covering the Alto-Adige, Trentino, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia and the Veneto itself). It's a tiny place down the narrow Calle de Le Botteghe, right opposite our hotel the Locanda Art Deco (and I do loves me a bit of Art Deco! and with rooms like these would you want to stay anywhere else?). I would have been happy to stay at Fiore all evening, sampling the rest of the wine list and those tempting cichetti... but no, onward...
More local, city-rustic character can be found in Trattoria Ca'D'Oro "Alla Vedova" (Cannaregi 3912). A few steps from the water taxi stop of Ca D'Doro. A great atmosphere, lovely, value-packed cicheto, a little warren of rooms packed full of food and wine related artefacts hanging from the ceiling and covering the shelves. The food and wine are the stars here the place being famous for their polpetti (meatballs). Perhaps here would be a good place to spend the evening...
A little challenge was set for me - given £30 of vouchers which Morrison wines would I buy?
It being summer and all the choice would be light, refreshing, easy drinking reds, decent crisp whites and obviously a rosé or two. This selection is of untried wines; I've no idea if they are good value for money, good drinking or otherwise.
Having had problems in trying to access the wine list on the Morrison's website ("Sorry the page you have requested does not seem to be available" - on ALL the wines pages??) I'm selecting these off a word document so pricing is a touch vague... but one soldiers on in the face of such adversity...
Firstly a red, something light that could be chilled? Possibly, with the Orsola Valpolicella (£3.98), but I'd rather sample a New Zealand Pinot Noir - so how about the Ara Pathway Pinot Noir? It comes in under a tenner...
No problems over here of being seen drinking a rosé. Slightly particular in which mind; it has to be dry for a start and while I'm not so fussy on where it comes from I been discovering some fine examples from Spain of late. So how about the Los Vividores Rosé with its "Vibrant colour, lots of lively aromas of tomato and asparagus" or the Penrosa Rosé from Castilla Leon "Strawberry pink wine with an aroma of ripe, soft, red & black fruit. Soft & full in the mouth". Perhaps the £30 budget limit could accommodate both?
And a white... a Sauvignon Blanc beckons and while the both the Seifried (£8.99) and the Sacred Hill (£6.98) Sauvingons are mightily attractive and having already picked a wine from New Zealand it could mean the Spier Sauvignon from South Africa would be plonked into the virtual basket.
Another choice of white could be the slightly odd-ball Repertoire White "The Gros Manseng grape gives tangy, apricot & peach flavours with a gloriously refreshing citrussy finish" or the Rully Blanc "Gorgeous pineapple & tropical fruit aromas lead in to opulent buttery flavours with a lemony finish". No producer mentioned though.
But after mulling and playing with the calculator the £30 is spent on the following:
Which comes in at a smidge over £30 but as Morrison's also run an offer in which, when you buy four bottles you will get 10% off, the final bill comes in at £27.87.
Each year the Bisol clan treats the locals to a little food and wine fair - Gustovino. A seemingly never ending pour from the full Bisol wine range (several not available in the UK) available to enjoy between the vineyards and an opportunity for me to, yet again, clamper ungracefully onto a horse.
Actually getting on was easier, the widespread titters and my flushed face emphasising the undignified disembarkation. Bloody gravity. Bloody stirrups. One numb bum and a hot trot through the vines gives one a thirst that only Prosecco can quench.
The last visit included a stay in the Bisol guest house. Reading back the posts from those early blogging days are rather embarrassing in the way they are incredibly brief and not really enthusing or explaining (or offering enough photographs) on how relaxing the guest house (Relais Duca di Dolle) is, how easily reachable from Venice, and how the region offers a host of excellent eateries - Gigettos for example or in Rolle, a pleasant winding walk from the guest house, is Andretta with its wonderful open terrace with views down the valley and Il Monestero, a more rustic experience with a chef who makes up a menu each day depending on his whim and the seasonal availability of produce.
This wine grid is split horizontally by price brand and vertically by colour and style. A £9-£12 sophisticated red? That'll be the Dominio Kasierpe Flor de Lasierpe Reserva 2000 from Navarra in Spain (£9.99). A £7-£9 filthy rich white? For you sir, that'll be the Last Stand Unoaked Chardonnay, 2008, from South Australia at £5.99. Click the small circle and up pops a larger display with wine details and price. Small tabs also link to 'customer reviews' and offer details. Runs beautifully smoothly on my Windows 7 system; but how would those on older machines with lesser graphic cards or those without flash fare I wonder?
The six price bands and eight style categories does limit the company to selling just 48 wines at a time. Since my first look however a new column has been added - 'Phenomenal Favourites' boosting the range to 54. This column add-on ruins the effect somewhat though in that you don't know if they are red/white/rosé or fizz. Limiting the range offered does allow a constantly changing range, small parcels and so on.
Despite the limitations I love the ease and graphical-ness of this page. This innovative approach doesn't extend to the fine wine section or the special offers page though - back to a 'traditional' list and drop down menu selections sadly. The fine wine section currently offers a good selection of Australian reds in the £30+ range (including a spread of older vintages of the D'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz) and various clarets from the 1980's.
"Everybody should enjoy drinking wine. Instead of worrying about countries or grapes you just have to choose which style of wine you want to drink and how much you want to spend. Then trust us to provide brilliant, delicious and interesting wines you may never have considered before."
There is a blog attached to the site - but MH you need an RSS feed my friend! Interestingly the latest post pays homage to the other innovative online wine merchant Naked Wines.
"A lot of people ask me where the idea for Find Wine came from. The answer, rather boringly, is that I don't really know. It came out a lot of conversation between me, John and plenty of other people, the most influential of which was Mike Awin from ABS Wine Agencies, who has always been a great believer in what we are trying to do with Find Wine.
However throughout all of our planning there was one case study that we kept coming back to as the best online wine merchant and that was Naked Wines....
Naked are most certainly doing a fantastic job of shaking up the wine trade and I will certainly be keeping an eye their success as it grows and grows. And trying to work out how I can even begin to compete!"
While the wine should be centre stage for any retailer it is often the little touches that attract to a website, nudge the bunches of grapes in the logo for example and refreshing to see Fine Wine acknowledging the competition via a blog, Innovation hasn't yet reached a conclusion - video clips are promised. There is room for more than one Naked Wines, Find Wine is off to a great beginning.

Car crashes into Miami Dade College entrance
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 9:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 9:26 a.m.
MIAMI — Classes are cancelled for the day after a fiery crash left one person dead and three injured at the entrance to Miami Dade College's Liberty City campus.
Police say the crash happened around 1 a.m. Tuesday.
In a statement, college spokesman Juan Mendieta says all daytime classes are cancelled. He says the college will keep students and faculty updated on whether evening classes will be held.
Witnesses say a speeding car went out of control and crashed into the entrance and burst into flames. The Miami Herald reports the car barely missed two people at a nearby bus stop.

Extreme games
Africa | Travel to Africa means dramatic change for many from America, but one group is pushing the back of the envelope even further: not only living in Africa, but living like poor Africans
Part three of a series by Marvin & Susan Olasky in Loskop, South Africa. Read Part I and Part 2.
When first lady Laura Bush two weeks ago visited three African countries, more Americans became conscious of how AIDS is ravaging the continent. In South Africa, for example, she learned that the country has more than 6 million officially HIV-positive people out of a population of 47 million, with the real figure probably much higher.
Since government-to-government aid has rarely been helpful, what Americans can do about the crisis is harder to gauge. The easier way is to send a contribution to some large organization and hope a chunk of it gets to the needy in a way that actually helps them. A harder way is to go to Africa and personally work with those in need.
The hardest way of all may be to reject the tendency of some Western residents of Africa to lead luxurious lives by African standards-and, instead, to offer help while eating the same food and using the same outhouses as the Africans being helped. It's a way that makes Africa the newer frontier for some Americans not only by geography but by lifestyle.
Rob Smith, 47, born in South Africa but a U.S. resident for the past 30 years, advocates the hardest way. Last month he was heading back to Loskop, a small South African village south of Ladysmith. There, he and other volunteers from America are "sending a loud message," in Mr. Smith's words, "by living with our kids, eating with them, lining up for showers with them, not shoving to the front or having separate toilets." The kids in this instance are 32 boys and girls up to 18 who have been orphaned by AIDS.
While growing up Mr. Smith developed a jaundiced view of white efforts among blacks. He confirmed that in 2002 when he traveled to Africa and visited missionaries and Western-style orphanages. Here's his overgeneralization: "Western missionaries come with five kids and buy Plymouth Voyagers. Those are luxury cars here. The Africans see that and immediately have their hands out. Whites cut out some of the suspicion and difficulty if we live like our black neighbors."
The Loskop program began last September in a neighborhood called Injesuthi, which is Zulu for "the dog is satisfied." The site didn't use to satisfy anyone except the drunks who slept in shacks there, but the foundation Mr. Smith started, Agathos ("Into Africa," Dec. 25, 2004), last year took out a 30-year lease on the acreage for about $150 per month. Now the property boasts a kitchen/dining room building, a building with rooms for visitors, and a row of apartments-typically two rooms, six bunks-for caretakers and children.
The cement brick and woodframe-and-stucco buildings are bounded on one side by the Tugela River and on the other by a barbed wire fence with seven rusting cars (completely stripped) just beyond it. Temperatures from June through August-southern hemisphere winter-can dip below freezing at night, but there is no central heating and, in many rooms, no heat at all.
Some major Christian organizations discourage contact between volunteers/donors and African recipients, concluding that amateurs will gum up the works, but Agathos emphasizes contact and depends financially on Americans willing to pay a premium to do good as they have "an African experience." So how does God lead some people to become the Marines of ministry evangelism, purposefully living in hard conditions that they could easily avoid?
Rob Smith speaks bitterly about his personal African experience as a child: "You couldn't have a more miserable life than to be the son of a [legalistic] pastor." He passionately decries the combination of obeying small, man-made rules and dodging the larger problems that eventually destroyed his family: "I called to wish my parents a happy 30th anniversary, only to hear that they were getting divorced."
He called rather than visited because he had long before moved to Atlanta. He headed there at age 19 to escape home and to chase his girlfriend, whom he married on his 20th birthday; they now live in the Seattle area and are approaching their 28th anniversary. He attended a Bible college, worked as an accountant for seven years, and then became a builder, constructing 62 houses from 1986 through 1999.
Characteristically, he plunged into homebuilding by reading a book, then learning by doing. In 1999 he bought a custom furniture/woodworking company and lost his life's cash savings, $300,000, in a failed nursing home venture. In 2000 and 2001 he heard about Africa's growing AIDS crisis and decided it was time to go home.
He visited Western efforts that turned poor but struggling Africans into panhandlers, and left the efforts themselves dependent on constant fundraising: "The organizations bought cheap land rather than good farmland and then spent their money on good housing and good cars." As his fourfold vision-an AIDS orphanage that is "African, simple, pragmatic, and replicable"-took shape, he took out an $85,000 second mortgage, sold a boat and tools, and had $140,000 to put into an African start-up.
He traveled to South Africa repeatedly, scouting out communities for orphanages and looking into productive farms that, after a one-time purchase, would allow Agathos efforts to be self-sustaining. He saw the importance of building relationships in the villages where he would locate, and-as a person who had been away from Africa for nearly three decades-looked to some Westerners with more recent experience.
The person he chose to be the "village coordinator" for his pilot project in Loskop had his own wounds to heal. John David Borgman, a vigorous 63-year-old who wears a neat ponytail, grew up the son of a church elder in Connecticut and graduated from Wheaton in 1964. (His best-known classmate: Speaker of the House Denny Hastert.) Mr. Borgman joined the Marines, went to Vietnam in 1967, and flew 181 missions in a single-seat fighter that carried bombs, rockets, and machine guns.
Later he called in air strikes and gained a ground-level view of war as hell: "I was part of devastation and destruction. I felt like I was losing my soul." He lived in the United States for a while, then volunteered for 10 years in Tanzania while his wife (born in the Ivory Coast) taught school there. He adopted not only a different hemisphere but a different part of his name: "I grew up being called David, but the military called me John. When I came to Africa I let the Borgman part of the name drop off." He now goes by J.D.
Six years ago he purchased for $80,000 and moved to a beautiful 150-acre ranch just down the road from Loskop. One morning last month, as he drove milk from his eight goats to a woman who takes care of 25 children, he spoke of how "Africa's been good for me. It's helped me to let go of a critical spirit, a lot of pride-like mainstream Christianity." He criticizes "American individualism" and says, "Here, the community is important. The community is my family-that's what giving up my last name signified."
As a visionary CEO, Rob Smith also recognized that he needed someone to create order-a chief operating officer. Volunteering for the role for six months is Scott Brinkerhoff, 51, who graduated from Houghton College nearly three decades ago and spent the next 28 years teaching and coaching at a Christian school. He resigned last year. His first wife (and the mother of his two sons, both now involved in missionary and international development work) died 14 years ago. Like Mr. Smith and Mr. Borgman, Mr. Brinkerhoff was following Christ in working at Loskop and also trying anew to pioneer a vision for the church and himself.
Bold, sometimes-wounded healers in frontier conditions are playing a role in the Agathos plan to develop more homes for orphans that are culturally African. Mr. Smith noted that some programs try to Westernize children, but his goal is to have the children live as Zulus-with some Western improvements, since "a flush toilet is better than a pit toilet." He said his objective is not to instill Western culture but Christian culture, which includes a sense of law and a willingness to work.
That's an ambitious goal, and to move it along Mr. Smith is looking for income-generating businesses that can prevent the further growth of "a welfare mentality throughout Africa . . . people always looking for handouts from Europeans and Americans." He notes that a coffin-making company is likely to have lots of sales over the next 10 years. Children at the orphanage have chores that require effort but offer rewards: In the afternoon they put on rubber gloves to pick up garbage, with the incentive of being able to blow up those gloves into balloons when work is done.
Mr. Smith is also concerned about bicycle chains. He started out having two bikes held in common by the 32 children currently on site, but from now on will give them, and lesser toys, to particular children: Property unowned is soon property broken or lost, since no one has much personal stake in maintaining it. Loskop itself is providing further evidence of ownership's importance: A close-by, government-provided community center now has broken windows and is rarely used.
Agathos is fighting against both childhood irresponsibility and social shoulder-shrugging promoted by British colonialism, which brought some economic upgrades but a clear psychological downgrade; at this point helping many South Africans to move beyond dependency requires patience. When a bathroom door was off its hinges, Mr. Smith observed that he "could fix it in three minutes, but what good would that do? People have to learn to fix things themselves." He was patient and at the end of the day the door was fixed.
In the end, the Zulus themselves will also have to change some suicidal customs. Today, witch doctors sometimes spread AIDS by telling a sick man to sleep with a virgin and he'll be cured. Fathers typically charge potential bridegrooms 10 or 11 cattle for their virgin daughters, a price beyond the reach of some men, who then feel justified in promiscuity. (If a father did not charge such a price, it would indicate he considers his daughter to be a slut.)
Mr. Smith speaks of the need for a culturally adept alternative that would show the value of a bride-perhaps a mortgage system where the father would let his daughter marry a bridegroom who would agree to pay money each month for a set number of years. The influence of witch doctors (who within South African multiculturalism now have the same status as medical doctors, officially) needs to be fought by a Christian surge.
Will the Loskop project contribute to that? Agathos needs to handle several problems. Since South Africa does not allow orphanages as such, children live in what is called "cluster foster care," with each child officially under the authority not of Agathos but of a caretaker (often a grandmother of one of the children) hired by Agathos and paid South Africa's minimum wage of about $100 per month. The caretakers are the critical links in conveying a Christian understanding to the children, but finding strong Christians for those roles is not easy.
Another problem is that, unlike the Zambian and Namibian orphanages profiled (Read Part I and Part 2.), the Agathos project so far is relying on South African public schools rather than starting a school of its own. The public schools still have some Christian content, but it's spotty; also, children do not start studying English until the sixth grade.
The Agathos goal is to do everything inexpensively so the Loskop home and others down the road do not require constant transfusions of cash from America. But will Agathos' unique selling propositions-living cheaply, African-style; developing self-sustaining farm homes; putting Americans and Africans in direct contact on a "one church, one village" approach-resonate with U.S. volunteers and funders?
On that question, the jury is still out.

Phillip Brandon
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra mesmerized the audience Saturday afternoon at Power Balance Pavilion in the first of two Christmas shows.
For those of you who may not be familiar with TSO, they are a progressive rock band that incorporates classical, orchestral, symphonic and progressive elements into hard rock and heavy metal. They are famous for their series of rock operas and storytelling.
This was a high-energy show with a combination of lasers, lights, pyrotechnics and video screens all synchronized to TSO's music.
Dressed in black, the orchestra made their way on stage while chimes were playing. As they were assembling onstage, there were clips of Martin Luther King Jr. from the famous "I Have a Dream" speech, as well as John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and others, with each round of new faces drawing applause and cheers. Once onstage they started playing "Who I Am," with video screens and lights blazing in perfect unison.
The talented storyteller Phillip Brandon started weaving a tale of an angel coming down to Earth on Christmas Eve. Brandon's phenomenal voice, reminiscent of the famous James Earl Jones, drew the crowd into the tale as a hush came over the audience. After the introduction, the orchestra started playing "An Angel Came Down," complete with lights and lasers.
As the orchestra began "First Snow," it actually started to snow in the arena. OK, not really snow, but the pretend kind of snow. You know the
one with tiny bubbles raining down? Couple that with all the video screens filled with snow added to the sensation of real snow. It was quite breathtaking, leaving the audience in complete awe as they listened to an extremely talented line-up of musicians.
One of their screens and lighting units that made a Y shape stretching out above the audience was actually a catwalk. As the show progressed the unit started to descend on top of the audience, leaving people wondering if they should get out of the way. As it slowly made its way down, members of the band ran up it. The catwalk started to rise with band members running towards the back portion of the catwalk providing everyone in the "cheap" seats a prime view of the performance. It was quite impressive.
A new comer to TSO, violinist Asha Mevlana was off the charts rocking it with her purple high tech violin. As she ended a solo routine you could hear the crowd gasp in unison as she grabbed her bow and snapped it in half over her knee, ending the song. This was so much more dramatic than smashing a guitar to smithereens, since it was completely unexpected.
As they wrapped up the story, the orchestra treated the audience to a number of different songs including a mix from one of their albums "Christmas Canon Rock," at which point they brought out founder, composer, and producer Paul O'Neill.
This was my first exposure to TSO and I have to say they left me wanting more, even after a 2 ½ hour performance.
Armed with an arsenal of talented musicians, singers, and special effects, TSO delivers a high energy, phantasmic kaleidoscope of fun. Oh "" and some really good music too.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck using BackupPC with Zimbra. I have about 1000 users across 17 domains and I'm not a huge fan of the scripts I have found to backup that data. The biggest problem I have with the scripts is the restoration. I had the server die about 6 months back and it was very difficult to get the data back. I think BackupPC looks pretty good and should make it simple to backup and restore but I wanted to get some input before I start testing..

A lot of self-centered corporate marketing is giving way to customer-centric ways of communicating the value of doing business. I've been thinking about this a lot in terms of online marketing and have been sharing these ideas through client content marketing strategy. At the same time, more companies are actively seeking expertise with a customer-centric approach to content.
One area of change is search engine optimization and going after the most popular keywords (relevant to products & services) and optimizing to attract customers. The assumption is that the search result will compel users to click and the destination page visit results in a conversion.
Before search, there are many other behaviors to consider that influence the consumer's confidence in what they find. It's a lot more complex than needing something, searching, finding & buying with no other influences. I believe you can optimize for those influences.

Ocean Cargo: Weak rate structure for carriers to persist, say analysts
July 07, 2011 - LM Editorial
The container shipping industry is in dire need of a correction on the supply side, said analysts for Drewry Maritime Research in London this week.
Analysts add that even the realization of a decent peak season demand surge this summer will not provide enough momentum to lift severely eroded freight rates in the key east-west trades.??
"Contrary to what happened in 2009, there is currently no common strategy or discipline among carriers to lay up ships to redress the supply/demand balance,"?said Neil Dekker, editor of Drewry's Container Forecaster.
He said ocean carriers will find it a very challenging environment this year in which to make money, but there is a major difference between this year and the recession-ravaged 2009.
Other analysts have told LM that container rates have been sliding on all the major trading lanes since July 2010, with the exception of a small "hiccough" in last winter, as liner companies tried to push for implementation of general rates increases in a weakening market.
"The anticipated strong volume rebound following the Chinese Lunar New Year did not materialize, and that resulted in continued descending rates on most trading lanes," said Peter Sand, an analyst with the Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) in Copenhagen.
Drewry is forecasting an 8.1 percent growth in global container traffic for 2011 and so, other than rising fuel costs, responsibility for the inability to run their business models profitably can only be laid at the feet of the carriers themselves, analysts contend.
Drewry noted that ocean carriers have continued to launch new services in the key east-west trade lanes, many of them also upgraded with the latest 13,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) giants delivered from South Korean yards. But this has severely contributed to overcapacity with average load factors in the headhaul transpacific and Asia to Europe routes remaining at only 80-85 percent.??
In this environment, said analysts, freight rates have massively declined on the Asia to North Europe route where in some cases spot rates are not even covering quoted bunker surcharges of around $750 per teu.
Planned rate restoration programs have been postponed and there is little hope of carriers imposing meaningful peak season surcharges, Drewry analysts added.

Black History Month
February is Black History Month.
FOX17, MyTV30, CW58 and Safe Auto join in paying tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society.
Black history month had its beginnings in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week." This week was chosen because it marked the birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Woodson created the holiday with the hope that it eventually be eliminated when black history became fundamental to American history. Negro History Week was met with enthusiastic response; it prompted the creation of black history clubs, an increase in interest among teachers, and interest from progressive whites. Negro History Week grew in popularity throughout the subsequent decades with cities across the country endorsing it as a holiday.
In 1976, the federal government acknowledged the expansion of Black History Week to Black History Month. President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." That year, fifty years after the first celebration, the association held the first African American History Month.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Three Georgia players scored in double-figures to lead to Georgia to a 82-73 win over Florida A&M Saturday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum.
Sophomore forward Nemi Djurisic led Georgia (5-7) with career-high 21 points. For the first time this season, sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell Pope, who contributed 11 points and nine rebounds in the Bulldog win, didn't lead Georgia in points.
"We are getting better as a team. You could see it in the first half," said head coach Mark Fox. "There is still a long way to go, but we have made some progress. Our defense was good in the first half. We don't have any selfishness on our team. I thought we played some good team ball, and that was predicated on good team defense."
Leading by just five with eight minutes left in the first half, Georgia had five different players combined to go on a 13-0 run to take a 42-24 lead. Both teams traded baskets in the final minutes of the half, and the Bulldogs took at 49-36 lead into halftime.
The Rattlers (4-8) took advantage of a slow second half start from the Bulldogs to cut the deficit to just six with 12 minutes remaining, but junior forward Donte' Williams scored on a put-back slam to start a 6-0 run that ended Florida A&M's momentum.
After Georgia built a 76-62 lead late in the game, Florida A&M went on a run to get within seven points, but Georgia went 5-of-5 from the free throw line in the final minute to secure its third win in a row and fifth of the season.
Florida A&M was led by Muhammad Abdul-Aleem who had 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Florida A&M was hindered by shooting just 12-of-25 from the free throw stripe.
Georgia improves to 3-0 all-time in its series with Florida A&M.
Georgia returns for the final non-conference game of the season next Friday, Jan. 4, against George Washington. The game, the final game of the Bulldogs' five-game home stand, tips off at 7:00 p.m. and will be televised on CSS.

Tallahassee, FL - The ethics case against Tallahassee Mayor John Marks could be thrown out.
The administrative law judge in the case says there's not enough evidence to show the mayor violated the law by profiting from votes he made.
The case will now go back to the ethics commission to make a final ruling in the case originally brought by local businessman Erwin Jackson.

Graduate Programs in Chemistry
Graduate Program Ranked in National Top 25!
posted 2014-05-30
Our chemistry graduate programs have just been listed in the Top 25 by graduateprograms.com! These spring 2014 rankings enumerate the best graduate schools in the country in a variety of fields based solely on ratings and reviews from current or recent graduate students. Please click here for further details.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is awarded for the demonstration of advanced and critical knowledge of chemistry, the completion of an original research project, and the satisfactory defense of a thesis reporting and interpreting this work. The PhD is typically earned after approximately four years of full-time graduate study. Students are admitted into the PhD program on a full-time basis only. Advanced standing may be granted to students admitted to the PhD program who hold a masters degree in chemistry. It is not necessary to earn the MS degree to qualify for the PhD.
Learn more
Apply now!
Master of Science (MS)
The Master of Science (MS) degree can be earned either through a program of course work alone or through a program of course work combined with research and thesis. The MS degree is normally earned in two years or less. Course work toward the MS degree may be taken by part-time graduate students. MS thesis research may be undertaken only by full-time graduate students.
Unlike the PhD program, part-time students are accepted into the MS program. However, the first year of course work is in most cases essentially the same for both programs. Consequently an entering part-time MS student can readily transfer to full-time PhD study upon approval by the department. For more information on the MS Program, please contact the Graduate Affairs Coordinator (see below).
No financial aid is offered when applying for the MS degree.
Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Program (STEP) »

Southline project scoping period extended to July 5
As a result of numerous requests, the Bureau of Land Management is extended the scoping period for the proposed Southline Transmission Line Project. The scoping period, which was scheduled to end June 4, has been extended to end July 5. Western is a co-lead agency on the environmental impact statement.
The Southline Transmission Project would collect and deliver electricity across southern New Mexico and southern Arizona, relieving congestion, strengthening the existing electrical system and improving transmission access for local renewable and other energy sources.

text: On an XP box with Activesync 4.1, Outlook 2003 SP2+all current patches, Win Mobile 2003, for all intents and purposes you can only sync the calendar out from Zimbra, not in from PDA. It's interesting, in that it will sync a single appointment or change from the PDA, but if there has been more than one change/add/delete on the pda, the remaining items will come back unresolved from Activesync w/ error 80180E01. This is with Outlook closed. If you sync with Outlook open, and are unfortunate enough that Activesync actually works, you get the new items on your calendar, but Outlook crashes the next time it tries to sync with Zimbra. Reopening outlook results in continuous crashes of Outlook upon the sync with Zimbra. The only solution is to delete the MAPI profile and start over, which leads you back to the top of this email, and back down the same destructive path. I have done a hard reset on the PDA, and tested on multiple xp boxes (including a clean XP install) with the same result, so I know it's not something special with my machines. I tried to use the sysinternals debug logger, but I don't get any messages. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This problem seems to only be on my handset. Other Android handsets can see the attachments. Normally, there is an attachment link I click on and it drops down and shows the actual attachment. I'm having problems seeing Office 2010 attachments. The problem is the attachment paperclip does not show so there is nothing to tap on the handset. If I log in through the web and use the web client (on my phone), I can see and open the files with no problem. It's just the email app on my phone that isn't working properly.
I had another android user see if he could see the attachment and it worked properly for him so I know my post office is set up correctly. It must be a setting on this particular phone.
Any help would be most appreciated!

WHEELING - After 40 years on the books, city residents in November overturned a law that requires two police officers in each cruiser.
By more than 2,800 votes - 6,773 for abolishing the law to 3,905 against - voters agreed Nov. 6 that Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger should have the discretion to staff patrol cars as he deems necessary.
City Manager Robert Herron said the police department's new staffing schedule will be fully implemented on Jan. 6. He said there already are several one-officer cruisers doing traffic patrol and grant enforcement in the city.
Article Photos
Wheeling voters this year chose to abolish the municipal law requiring two police officers ride in every patrol car. The Fraternal Order of Police claims the election is invalid.
"We're very pleased with the vote margin," Herron said. "We have an outstanding police department now, and the vote gives to chief the flexibility to assign officers in the most efficient way possible. We are grateful for that, as it will lead to more police presence in the community."
Schwertfeger said he formed a committee consisting of police supervisors and dispatchers to help develop new patrol protocols related to the change. The committee developed three priorities for calls.
Priority one and two calls - primarily domestic violence calls, fights, burglaries and other violent crimes - mandate that two officers be dispatched to a scene, while priority three calls - minor traffic accidents, vandalism - require only one officer. Schwertfeger said the policy is being tweaked and should be finalized this week.
"We've trained the officers on our new protocols, and we'll work with dispatchers" this week, he said. "We will be ready to implement our new patrols on Jan. 6."
While the chief is preparing to implement the new patrols on Jan. 6, a legal challenge to the vote process remains pending. The Wheeling Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 38, in a motion filed to throw out the results, is claiming that city leaders made errors in how they put the measure on the ballot. But the FOP's original filing contained a number of errors of its own.
Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson allowed the FOP to correct the errors in its original lawsuit. FOP attorney Stephen Herndon has since filed an amended petition that corrects erroneous dates.
The amended complaint makes the same basic claims that council's actions violated state law and Wheeling's city charter, so the resulting election should be declared invalid.
Wilson's decision came over the objection of City Solicitor Rosemary Humway-Warmuth, who in an earlier filing argued that the correct dates easily could have been found in public documents and suggested the lawsuit, filed in mid-October, was a last-ditch effort by the FOP to cast doubt in voters' minds before the election.
However, Wilson said the FOP's motion seeking to correct its errors should not have caused the city "undue surprise" and thus should be granted.
"The issue raised by the plaintiff is well-known to the city of Wheeling, and therefore they would have actual knowledge of the meetings at which the issues were addressed," Wilson wrote.
The FOP claims council's Aug. 7 meeting, during which members heard first reading of the cruiser ordinance, was in violation of the city charter because it began at noon, not at 7 p.m. as provided by the law that was in effect at that time, and did not follow all the requirements set forth in the charter for special meetings. The city maintains, however, that the meeting was a regular meeting on the first Tuesday of the month and is not subject to the more stringent notice requirements for special meetings.
The lodge also claims council illegally held two readings of the ordinance Aug. 21, which it only may do in the case of a pressing public emergency. City officials deny this happened, calling the FOP allegations "outright falsehoods."

Hi all,
I am trying to evaluate Zimbra as our successor to OCS and I have read through the docs, but I am still unsure of what level of redundancy/clustering Zimbra actually supports.
I know that Zimbra supports multi-server setup, which is where my user accounts get stored on different mailbox servers. Afaik, one can put a loadbalancer in front of those mailbox servers the mailbox servers will re-route the requests accordingly.
But what about IMAP?
Plus, wouldn't it make more sense to have a clusteres storage and have multiple mailbox servers accessing that storage?

Tampa, Florida -- In recent years we've seen pink handguns, pink Kentucky Fried Chicken buckets, pink pumpkins and even pink bagels during the month of October.
The National Football League joined the pink brigade a few years ago by promoting October as Breast Cancer Awareness month with players wearing pink gear. Plus, some pink items sold on the NFL's website boast of proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
But a writer for BusinessInsider.com says the benefit may not be that great and wonders why is the NFL profiting off of breast cancer?
Cork Gaines found the NFL donates just 5 percent, or $5 of a $100 pink item to the ACS.
But he says keep in mind only 70.8 percent of the money the ACS receives goes towards research and cancer programs. The remaining 19.2 percent goes to cover administrative costs, which means for every $100 in NFL pink gear sold only $3.54 goes towards cancer research.
"Yeah, it's a little surprising and I think most fans would be shocked to learn so little of that is actually going towards research," Gaines told 10 News.
Yet in the fight for finding a cure some people like Dr. Hatem Soliman with the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa say every dollar counts.
"From our perspective we're obviously grateful for any kind of support especially in this climate economically it's important to have as much of the philanthropic and sponsored dollars coming in to research, so I think any contribution in my mind would be valuable," Soliman said on Thursday,
To make sure you know just how much of your money is actually going to help out those with cancer when buying pink items, the Better Business Bureau offers these tips:
To be fair, Gaines notes most of the pink items worn by NFL players are auctioned off with all of those proceeds going to the ACS.
But in a league that generates billions of dollars each year he wonders if the NFL couldn't do more to help those fighting breast cancer.

Suwannee County, FL - The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has joined the Suwanne County Sheriff's Office in the search for missing woman, Kamrie Mitchell.
Previous Story, Suwannee County, Florida - September 13, 2012
A Suwannee County man has been arrested for threatening the life of a missing woman. Investigators say they had a fight the night she went missing almost two weeks ago.
33 year old Andrelo Witcher is in jail. He's not being accused in the disappearance of 24 year old Kamrie Mitchell but they are questioning him about it.
According to the Suwannee County Sheriff's Office, he intruded into Mitchell's home where he assaulted her and her father, Thomas Mitchell August 25th.
The victims told Deputies Witcher had a firearm and made verbal threats towards them. The Sheriff says Witcher and Kamrie Mitchell were friends. No injuries were reported at the scene.
Her white four-door 1992 Pontiac Grand Am was found submerged in flood waters in eastern Suwannee County, near the Columbia County line on Wednesday, September 5th.
Part of the road is still submerged in water that came from Tropical Storm Debby in late June.
Kamrie Mitchell's family just wants to do anything they can to get their daughter back.
The Sheriff's office says Mitchell is 5 feet 3 inches and 130 pounds.
She has dyed brown hair and blues eyes. And she has a number of tattoos including her name "Kamrie" tattooed on her left foot

Does kifaru or stone glacier or any of the others have similar options? Preference to a model between kifaru or stone glacier?

The Timberline bags have long side pockets, that are perfect for spotter and tripod. The SG has an integrated meat shelf. The Timberline can also be used as a meat shelf with the frame. However, the Kifaru has accessories like the hanging meat bag that separates the meat from your gear in the packbag.
Both bags compress easily into daypack mode.
I loved my J104, and it packed out plenty of game with me, but the SG and Kifaru are superior packs when it comes to heavy load comfort.

I did 18 miles this last weekend in the CA high country getting ready for Alaska and had 80lbs in my Kifaru BT1 thing rides like a cadilliac. I can only compare it to my previous badlands packs though. I know BB did a full blown review between the two packs SG and the Kifaru Highcamp Bikini so he is only one I know that has knowledge between the two

My 0.02... I looked at several and ended up purchasing a Kifaru Timberline 3 with duplex frame last year. It's great for day pack and good for up to 2-3 nights. For anything longer I would want something a bit bigger. It's not a cheap pack but I'd definitely say Kifaru has great customer service and high quality product. I would purchase again in a heartbeat.
