The Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation at Hartford Hospital (CESI) at Hartford Hospital is an ideal setting to begin to establish a culture of patient safety and open communication among the interdisciplinary team. Its mission is to promote excellence in clinical care, advance patient safety and improve multidisciplinary team performance through high-fidelity medical simulation. Participants are able to train in a setting similar to his/her actual work environment to create an atmosphere of realism. Working in this environment lends support to the simulator's extended capabilities to mimic multiple types of acute crises and patient care scenarios.
The first manikin was purchased through the Department of Anesthesia by Dr. Thomas Mort, who had the foresight to see the direct benefits to patient safety and health care provider education human patient simulation could offer. Dr. Mort was the champion in establishing the first Simulation Center in the State of Connecticut back in 1999. Since then the Simulation Center has been renamed and expanded its new state-of-the-art regional training facility. CESI has expanded from 900 square feet on South Building 5 to 10,000 square feet in the ERC second floor. The new facility is comprised of three separate areas:
In April 2014 CESI launched a new mobile simulation initiative. The mobile team travels to our customers that are unable to transport their learners to our central facility. This also allows learners to experience training in their own practicing environment, using their own equipment.
We accommodate most clinical areas and have seen our programs grow exponentially. Nursing as well as the departments of Anesthesia, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Ob-Gyn, Surgery and more are all using the facility to orient their medical students, residents, fellows to their clinical practices. Their learners are able to experience hands on training without the added pressure of performing tasks on real people. It builds their confidence and allows them to learn, practice and repeat procedures in a safe, controlled and structured environment. The US Military, Law Enforcement and EMS also use our facility for their training purposes.
CESI has been nationally recognized as a Center of Excellence by the Laerdal Corporation (the simulators' vendor). Currently, CESI is one of only 20 centers recognized nationally. This major achievement did not come with any financial compensation from Laerdal, but has established CESI as a role model for others.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Helmets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Mavic Plasma Helmet $0.00
If you ride both mountain and road bikes, do you really need two different helmets? Unless you strive to make a different fashion statement with each bike, the answer is most likely "no." But, while you want a well-ventilated, lightweight helmet for the road, you also know that durability is paramount for trail riding. Mavic developed the Plasma Helmet to satisfy the inner roadie as well as the trail rider.
More important than versatility however, Mavic devoted itself to making the Plasma the most comfortable helmet that you'll try. First, Mavic looked at optimizing the actual shape of the helmet. It conducted cranial mapping tests to make certain that the Plasma closely matches typical head shapes. Additionally, Mavic identified the not-so-obvious pressure points and contours, and made the interior shape of the helmet consequently flow along with the curves of the skull. But, even with a mound of data, there were still variances. This is where Mavic's Ergo Hold System comes into play. It allows for as much as six centimeters of one-handed, on-the-fly size adjustment. For the final touches on fit perfection, as well as excellent moisture management, Mavic also included its Ergo Fit Pro Pad. At first glance, it might not seem like much, but the Ergo Fit Pro Pad is a low density, open cell foam that wicks water away from the skin and transports it to where it can quickly evaporate.
After guaranteeing comfort, Mavic took a hard look at the aerodynamic and durability aspects of the exterior. First, Mavic fashioned a sleek, low-volume profile. Then, looking towards ventilation, Mavic developed the Ergo Protec Alutex reinforcement. This technology makes it possible to build in huge frontal ventilation ports without compromising any of the helmet's crash protection. So, not only are you riding cool and protected, but the aggressive shape enhances your aerodynamic position. Finally, for added versatility and well, a little trail fashion sense, Mavic included a removable visor and plugs.
The Mavic Plasma Helmet has been given reflective highlights in order to increase your visibility to motorists when you're caught out after dark. The helmet is available in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large and in the colors Black/silver metallic X, White/red, and White/white.

What is the helmet's weight?
Great helmet!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great helmet. Venting is more than adequate. One-handed open and close size adjustment is a great feature too.
Race ready!
Helmet Hair Welcome
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've never really spent the money to get a good helmet, but with more and more miles under my belt (and more and more crash scars), I decided it was time to spend a little cash to get a better helmet. I mtb and cycle, so I wanted a helmet that I could use for both. In addition, I wanted a helmet that actually fit my smaller head (one that didn't come with polka-dots or animal tail off the back). When I first put on this helmet, I could easily adjust the fit and was instantly in love. It's light weight & well fitted. An added bonus are the ventilation holes.

Nobody should ever even consider a skin care regimen without thinking of the cleansing process first. Astara Cleansers allow for the essential purification of the skin which removes excess sebum, dirt, debris, makeup and other impurities from the surface of the complexion as well as from deep within the pores. Some cleansers contain harsh detergents which create an imbalance of natural oils. This can lead to dryness and irritation, making for skin troubles and aggravating existing conditions. Astara Cleansers rely on gentle ingredients in combination with soothing botanicals. This means that you'll achieve purified skin while your complexion maintains its natural moisture balance.
Astara Cleansers provide the first step in a comprehensive skin care routine. Once you have removed all of the impurities which can cloud the skin and clog the pores, you can proceed with a toner, a treatment product and a moisturizer. Getting your skin care regimen off to a good start will set the stage for a beautiful complexion. Because you need to cleanse the skin on both your face and body, there are Astara Cleansers for both areas.
Every skin is different but all types require proper cleansing in order to function properly and look their best. Select the Astara Cleansers that are best suited for your skin type and lifestyle.
Astara Blue Flame Purifying Gel Cleanser is perfect for blemish prone skin that suffers from clogged pores and excess oil. This cleanser reaches deep into the pores to eliminate impurities and excess sebum which can lead to breakouts. However, the natural moisture balance of the skin is left in tact. Natural botanicals help to kill bacteria and control excess oil production while willow barks sweeps the pores clear of clogging debris. The formula uses natural enzymes and sugar cane in order to eliminate dead skin cells, refining the skin's surface and relieving congestion within the pores. As cells turn over, new, healthier skin emerges and the complexion is able to heal itself. For best results, follow with the Astara Blue Flame Purifying Treatment.
For a milder cleanser that is suitable for all skin types, try Astara Botanical Cleansing Gele'. This is a gentle cleanser that contains soothing botanicals to leave the skin fresh and comfortable. The formula kills bacteria naturally while providing a light toning and moisturizing effect. Essential oils balance the skin while providing an aromatic delight. This cleanser is great for women as well as men. The men find that they can use it for shaving as it prevents razor bumps and burn.
When it comes to cleansing, don't forget the body. Astara Aromatic Seaweed Body Wash gently eliminates impurities while leaving the skin feeling soft and balanced. This is a very refreshing formula that will wake you up in the morning.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Two people are at the hospital after high levels of carbon monoxide were found at a building in Northwest on Thursday morning.
IAFF Local 36 reported via Twitter that firefighters found high carbon monoxide levels in the 900 block of Ingraham St NW. DC Fire officials later told us that six people were evaluated at the scene and two of them were transported to the hospital.
Firefighters immediately began ventilating the building after arriving at approximately 7:50 a.m. They were initially called to the scene for the report of a sick person but when an ambulance arrived, they quickly realized the situation may be more serious.
Their preliminary investigation suggests the source of the carbon monoxide is a hot water heater.
We will have more information on this situation as it becomes available.

Local Gas To Be Sent To Asia
Dominion seeking approval of $3.8B facility in Maryland

NATRIUM — Natural gas drawn from the Upper Ohio Valley could be used to heat homes in Tokyo and New Delhi, pending Dominion Resources' completion of a $3....
dah seems to have run out of things to say re: the price of energy. Let me sum up by restating what I have tried to get across to him on several other occasions; increased production of energy reserves in the U.S. will not drive down the base price of hydrocarbon fuels on the domestic market. The magic word is: FUNGABLE! The same quantity and quality of gas and oil are priced on the international market. The price charged the end consumer includes this purchase price plus the costs of transportation, refining, marketing, taxes and profit margin.
Energy corporations are not strictly national or charitable organizations. They are in business to make a profit and will sell their product to the highest bidder, unless forced by law to sell locally or the government subsidizes the cost of the product to the public. That simply means that if you do not pay for it at the pump you will pay for at tax time.

(cont.) The base price of a given resource reflects, in part, the quality as well as the quantity of the resource. Not all oil is equal. Light sweet crude is far more valuable - and expensive - than a thick sludge laced with high sulphur and other toxic/corrosive properties.

dah, your last comment reflects a marginal grasp of fundamental economics. Are you sure that you operate a small business? If so it must be very small. Perhaps you are its sole customer.
Corporations which develop natural resources, including non-renewable energy, will sell their product to the highest bidder. What happens afterwards to the end price reflects costs of transportation, refining and marketing plus whatever taxes may be levied. If a buyer in Europe or Asia buys a given quantity of gas from a corporation in the U.S. it will pay the base market value of the product. The price it charges to the end users will reflect additional add ons plus a profit margin. That's how businesses operate, at least in the real world.

The natural resources in the U.S., including carbon-based energy, are priced on the global market and will be sold to whoever offers the best price. If international demand remains high regardless of U.S. domestic demand the price will also be high. Virtually all major producers of non-renewable energy are international corporations. They have no allegiance to any nation. That's reality.

Wienerdawg you friggen idiot, the topic is Gas GAS GAAAAAASSS, as in Natural Gas, as in that smelly stuff coming from your rear when you eat beans! Your "Fungibleass" BS is hilariously WRONG.
Over the past few months, new stories have noted that Canada's oil sector isn't getting full price for its heavy oil — in large part because American pipelines are well-supplied with newly-flowing tight oil ("shale oil") from North Dakota.
The discount on Alberta heavy oil is measured relative to the North American benchmark price, which is for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude. And said discount has been growing faster than a pimple before prom reaching a jaw-dropping $40 per barrel this week. [2013-01-31: historically the discount has been about $20 per barrel - Matthew] WTI sells for $96 per barrel, and Alberta heavy sells for … $56.
So much for a "world" Price, IDIOT!

This is why the whole "energy independence" propaganda doesn't float!!
If the natural resources of THIS country were only USED by this country, natural gas, and gasoline would be at RECORD low prices and this country would have enough to last HUNDREDS of years!
The very DEFINITION of "energy independence"!!
HOWEVER, in the free market, it is being sold and shipped all over the globe and it's price is set by the highest bidder
We have ZERO manufacturing due to ignorant consumers buy IMPORTED garbage because they are saving a nickel so the energy resources are all we have left we can sell!!!
And I am STILL waiting to see the first wind mill factory the communist in chief promised would be in every closed down steel mill!!

In terms of price, it really does not matter where the oil is produced. The price of oil is determined on the open world market. Oil companies are virtually all international corporations and will do business where they can obtain the best profit for their product.

Look at all the trash alongside of the roads, look at damage caused by the trucks.

Validated and Adapted for Food Detection
The RAPID'L.mono method is validated as follows:
Intended Use RAPID'L.mono™ medium is a selective chromogenic medium for direct detection and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in food and environmental samples.
A Multipurpose Agar
RAPID'L.mono medium is the only chromogenic method to be validated for L. monocytogenes and Listeria spp. detection on the same plate. RAPID'L. mono agar can also be used for enumeration or confirmation of L. monocytogenes.
Rapid and Economical Method
With the RAPID'L.mono detection protocol, full results can be obtained within 48 hr using one plate and one broth.
Reading and differentiation of L. monocytogenes are easy due to the unique chromogenic principle (PIPLC activity) of RAPID'L.mono medium and the fermentation of a sugar (xylose).
The blue colonies are L. monocytogenes (PIPLC+/xylose–).
The blue colonies with a yellow halo are L. ivanovii (PIPLC+/xylose+).
The white colonies with or without a yellow halo are other Listeria spp. (PIPLC–/xylose+ or –).
RAPID'L.mono medium is very specific; other bacteria and yeasts are inhibited.
Easy and economical confirmation is also validated in the RAPID'L.mono protocol by spot inoculation on Agar Listeria (AL agar) or by the Rhamnose test in 6 hr.
Other Protocols
RAPID'L.mono chromogenic plating agar can be used
* Within the scope of ISO 16140 NordVal validation, no confirmation is required.
** Within the scope of the AFNOR validation, confirmation is not required when the presence of L. monocytogenes has been confirmed at the detection stage.

Double Cone on Rails, 1J11.50
Topic and Concept:
Cabinet: Mechanic (ME)
Bay: (A6)
Shelf: #5
As a double cone moves up a set of inclined rails, its center of gravity is lowered to the height of the rails.
ID Number
Double Cone and Incline
ME, Bay , Shelf #
Important Setup Notes:
Setup and Procedure:
- Place the inclined rails on a level surface.
- Place the double cone at the bottom of the incline with its center between the rails.
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
This demo can be thought of like a ball on a hill: at the top of the hill, the ball is in an unstable equilibrium. An unstable equilibrium is a static situation where all of the forces acting on the object balance (their sum is zero) and hence the object has a uniform velocity. In this case, our object would have zero velocity. Unstable means that any force applied to our object will destroy the equilibrium of the ball causing it to have a net acceleration along the hill. This is certainly the case with our double cone. If you carefully place the double cone on the inclined rails, you can achieve such an unstable equilibrium; the cone will not roll up or down the rails. This should make sense if one considers the free body diagram of the system. If correctly oriented, we can achieve a perfect balance between the gravitational and normal forces acting on the double cone.
Like our ball on the hill, it has associated with it some potential energy which depends on the mass of the ball and its height above the ground. As the ball rolls down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Our double cone, however, is not a point mass. As a rigid body, we can find the center of mass of our double cone which one can due by eye thanks to the symmetry of our object. When the cone is at the low end of the rail, the center of mass is above the point of contact with the rail and hence has some potential energy. The top of the rails is analogous to the bottom of our hill since this is where the center of mass is level with the point of contact with the rails.

How is the bugling going in gmu 751,75 area. Also is there a large mountain lion population in the area?

How is the bugling going in gmu 751,75 area. Also is there a large mountain lion population in the area?
Reports from the bow hunters this past month said that there was not much bugling at all. The area has been impacted by the West Fork Complex Fire earlier this summer. That is a good area and only time will tell on what the fire did. You need to call game people around the Durango/Pagosa Springs area to see what the impact was. Good Luck.
I haven't heard one bugle this year. Another late rut?
I spent 9 days in the back-country hunting mule deer......saw quite a few bulls together.....mo bugles at all.
Thanks everyone , I would like to hear some while I'm put there!
How was the deer hunting....I have a fourth season tag?
I hunted the blackpowder season in 751, heard quite a few bugles. should have killed a nice 6x6 but hit a small cedar I did not see. ended up coming up with a nice cow.
I'm hunting in 751 second rifle season this year, it will be my first time to actually be hunting elk for myself, can't wait!

Radio shows spew hate, bigotry, misogyny, and are truly anti-American. They should not be advertised on, or broadcast on Armed Forces radio. Our young soldiers should not be exposed to that vileness. By broadcasting shows like Rush Limbaugh on our Armed Forces Radio, there is an implied "stamp of approval" for the content, which is the wrong message to send to impressionable young minds. Ban this poison from our public airwaves.

1. As much as I dislike
The Rushbo, etc, freedom of speech trumps my personal feelings. My only wish is they also offer progressive talk radio, as well. Our troops can figure it out.

2. They forfeit their right to free speech with their hate and lies.
They cross the line with no fear of recrimination. They know they are doing wrong
and they just dare us to do something about it. The time has come to act.

3. That's how a repub might think.
They want to take away rights because they don't like some of them. Freedom of speech means the right to speak no matter how stupid that speech might be.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

The unintended consequence of the OP's wish is speech he agrees with would also be taken off AFN. DUmmies are so DUmb.Good men sleep peaceably in their beds at night because
rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Be that as it may, do we know what times and days Rush is on AFN? If it's time adjusted and he plays the same slot in Central Europe that he does in the US, it's difficult to imagine that too many service members are sitting around a radio yucking it up with Rush.

And, you are correct about DU. They are good little Stalinists and will happily censor any dissent, but then, so are most libs. Note that several Democratic members of congress sought to censor Limbaugh on AFN, and Harry Reid trumped up a phony charge against Limbaugh in order to get every Senate Democrat to sign on to a letter demanding that Clear Channel muzzle him. And, let's not forget the number of fabricated or altered stories in the media, and you have a mindset that opposes uncomfortable truths and resorts to lies at its convenience.--Odysseus

My experience with people who like background noise (and trust me I try to limit my experience with such people) is that they like to have music playing. Why anyone would spend hours a day listening to a program that is designed to agitate is beyond me, unless of course they actually do mistake Beck and Rush and Todd and Mark for news programming.
Speaking of deception, please tell me that no one mistakes Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, Ari Lewis, and the gang at Free Speech Radio, NPR, and Pacifica for news. Say what you want about Jeremiah Wright, but at least he's homegrown.

During the non-campaign season , which we haven't experienced in several years but even so, Limbaugh often takes a very common sense approach to issues and has a good time with the gaffs of politicians. Unfortunately, he gets a bit carried away during the elections and appears to lose a good deal of his sense of objective humor in favor of the more mean spirited type which appeals to lesser lights like two of our dear friends on this board.
Something I find interesting which I have never seen actually analyzed in print, is how these radio stations support these superstars with the quality of advertiser they attract. I hear very little in the way of mainstream advertising on these programs, and I simply don't believe that Buy Gold, Amway Work From Home, Trinity Christian Credit Repair, Carbonite, survivalist foods, and various identity theft protection schemes pay the kind of advertising revenues that mainstream FM radio attracts.

AFN Korea has Rush on the AM freq at 2000 local. Power net times are the same.
AFN also broadcasts shows from NPR...MSNBC...BET (Tavis Smiley)...Mike Malloy and the rest of the MSM Liberal buffet.
The idiots at DU have been trying to pull this crap for the last 7 years now. Made the mistake of responding to a LTE published in Stars and Stripes about this same kind of thing...except then it was calling for more Air America programming. It's how I ended up finding this place.

Holy Schmoly!!! I cannot believe your snow!!!! Seriously, my daughter would have a heart attack. WE get snow, but it melts a bit (looks very ugly) then freezes a bit (to make driving crazy) then snow a bit more (but not enough to cover the dog tracks in the snow). And I love the sewing lessons. I hope my daughter gets interested in sewing - beyond playing with the pins and the pin cushion.

Kris Pickel is an award winning journalist with more than 2 decades of experience. Kris joined WKYC in March 2012 and is co-anchor of the 6 & 11 PM newscasts with Russ Mitchell.
Journalism has been a passion for Kris since the early 1990's. Her goal: better your community and give a voice to people whose stories may otherwise go unheard.
Kris's reputation is built on her experience and versatility, receiving recognition for her coverage of hard news reports and lighter stories. She was awarded the prestigious Edward R Murrow, honoring outstanding achievements in journalism, 3 Emmys, an Associated Press and other awards.
Kris was the first female reporter on the West Coast to enter a boot camp program for jail inmates. Instead of the typical coverage she entered the program as an inmate. Following riots and injuries that accompanied University of Arizona's NCAA win, her investigation helped lead to procedural changes for police crowd control. She has been recognized for her work in riot coverage in Oakland, an investigation into efforts to identify the Zodiac Killer, consumer, feature and medical reporting, and human interest stories.
Kris is passionate about giving back to the community. After visiting shanty towns in Mexico where children were dying from exposure, she helped organize a blanket drive and delivered supplies to the families in need. She has Co-Chaired the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign, hosted an Easter Seals Telethon, worked with kids in classrooms for Love of Reading Week, served as an honorary chair for Court Appointed Special Advocates for children and countless other projects.
"It's important to not just talk about what's happening in a community but to be a part of it. I believe the best anchors spend time out in the community and not just behind the desk," says Pickel.
Kris started her career in news as a college intern and has done just about every job in a newsroom including editor, producer, assignment desk, reporter, and anchor. Her career has taken her from hometown of Sacramento, CA to Grand Junction, CO to Reno, NV to Tucson, AZ and back to Sacramento before coming to Cleveland.
Kris is married to international award winning photographer Carl Lemon who is an avid comic book collector. They are the proud parents of two boys, Clark and Bruce. If you can figure out where the names came from, you know she has a sense of humor. Hint: again, her husband is an avid comic book collector.
Kris would love to hear from you! You can contact her on email or Facebook!

This August, the Wine Book Club will be reading Ferenc Máté's A Vineyard in Tuscany: A Wine Lover's Dream. ($13.95; 11.16, Amazon.com). The author, like many of us, dreamed of one day throwing caution to the wind and making wine. His adventures in Tuscany's chi-chi Brunello di Montalcino region, in a 13th-century Italian building that used to house monks, is a great read, and a perfect escape for the end of summer.
It's also a perfect occasion to end the dream that was the Wine Book Club. It hasn't turned out quite as I hoped and though Kori from Wine Peeps and Frank from Drink What You Like have been stalwart supporters of this effort, we feel like there's not much interest among other wine bloggers--and you know what it's like to go to a book club meeting when you're one of three people in the room. It's OK, but part of what should make this fun is comparing what you think with many other people.
That said, I'm sure the three of us will keep reading wine books and reviewing them on our individual sites, but they won't be on a regular schedule and we won't be reading the same titles.
If you want to help sing the WBC's swan song, please join us in this journey through Tuscan wine making and living the wine life. As usual, please send any links to posts to the email in the left sidebar or leave the link in the comments section of this post by 5 pm on Wednesday, August 26. I'll post the final roundup on Thursday, August 27.
Normally, I'm not a fan of cutesy wine names. Just tell me the grapes in the bottle, and make good wine. However, there are many, many people who do buy wines because of the name or the packaging (remember Bitch Grenache??). No matter if you're a fuddy-duddy like me, or someone who likes tongue-in-cheek wine service, I've got a bottle for you to check out: the 2007 Dievole Fourplay (suggested retail $14.99; available for $11-$14)
This is a terrific Sicilian red wine made from a blend of equal amounts of Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Frappato Nero, and Nerello Cappucio. Luscious aromas and flavors of cherry, blackberry, and licorice are accompanied by a smoky tobacco note. And the licorice is what made the wine stand out for me, and consider it to be excellent QPR. The wine is still a bit tight and young, so give it some time to open up with help of some air (via vigorous swirling or decanting) or buy a case of it and drink it over the next two years.
Dievole's Fourplay is an excellent pizza and pasta wine, with enough cherry fruit to make it good as a stand-alone sipper, too. But I'd advise pulling it out to go with your mushroom pizza, some spaghetti with meatballs, or any other traditional Italian fare that involves a tomato.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
Sorry for the erratic posting here on GWU$20. Summer is winding down for me, the work is piled everywhere, and I've been out and about touring vineyards and drinking some good wine. That means there's a slowdown in posting now, but there will be lots of stuff to read shortly. Thanks for your patience. Thinks should be back to normal soon. (photo "Hammock at Sunset" by mathewingram)
This month the Wine Book Club, the online reading group for wine lovers and readers, read John and Erica Platter's Africa Uncorked: Travels in Extreme Wine Territory ($29.95; $22.76 from amazon.com). This book was a terrific escape for me, complete with pictures, compelling writing, unbelievable stories, and a true spirit of adventure. I highly recommend it to armchair travelers as well as anyone who thinks they lead a tough life. I'm here to tell you that you have no idea what tough is until you've seen the lengths people go to in order to grow wine grapes in arid, predominantly Muslim Africa.
I was joined this month by Kori from Wine Peeps, who was equally enthusiastic about the book. Like me, she was impressed by how dedicated the African viticulturalists were, and said "the book weaves a fascinating tale of how doggedly determined winemakers have accepted the challenge of producing wine when all the odds are against them."
The book is illustrated with pictures and wine labels, and is arranged by region, spanning the continent from north to south. The Platters begin in Morocco, travel east through Ethiopia and Kenya, hit the islands of Madagascar and Mauritius, before winding up in South Africa. Through every part of their journey the Platters combine their love of food and their love of wine with a sensitivity to local customs. One of the best parts of the book for me was how they managed to paint a portrait of African wine as a whole while retaining an appreciation for the local.
Thanks once again to Kori for joining me in reading this book, and I'll see you next month for another great read.
"I will pay you for whatever you do for me."
"Then I'm your huckleberry. Who are you and what do you want to know?"
Edward Stratemeyer, True to Himself (1900)
I always wondered where the phrase "I'm your huckleberry" came from. I started wondering again when I drank my first glass of the oh-so-huckleberry 2008 The Crusher Petite Sirah, made by Don Sebastiani & Sons ($12.99, suggested retail; available in market for $12-$16)
Turns out, in early 20th-century slang, a "huckleberry" was the perfect person for a given job. If you're looking for a wine that delivers great fruit, nice acidity, and excellent complexity at an affordable price, then this wine will do the job perfectly--with excellent QPR.
The wine had a deep, rich purple color with enticing aromas of sweet huckleberry pie, herbs, and eucalyptus. Flavors of deep, smoky huckleberry and blackberry, with high notes of blueberry, make this wine juicy and fruit forward without being cloying or jammy. The spices on the finish reminded me of allspice, and the relatively low alcohol for Petite Sirah (13.5%) made this a wine that you could drink throughout dinner without regretting it the next day. All in all, a stunningly good example of the variety, especially for the price.
Pair this wine with anything you'd have with Syrah--like macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, barbecued chicken, or ribs--and drink it over the next year or so to enjoy its fresh, fruity flavors.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
I couldn't resist the label--or the name. Give me a picture of the solar system and something that captures my uneven emotional state most days and I'm a goner.
Problem was, I wasn't all that freaked out by the wine inside.
I bought my bottle of 2006 Luna Vineyards Freakout for $12.99 from the Carpinteria Wine Company, a great little wine store on the Central Coast.
The wine inside was a perfectly decent, not terribly exciting, neutral white wine that (for that price) represents good QPR. Blended from Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay the resulting wine is citrusy with earthy undertones that reminded me of cooked lentils. Because of those earthy notes--which I think comes from the Ribolla Gialla, but I'm a relative novice with that variety, so take it with a grain of salt--this wine was much better with food than without. Something made with mushrooms with cream would be an ideal partner for this wine, for instance.
In the end, this wine mystified me. Luna Vineyards are terrific. I like their Pinot Grigio enormously and hey, what's not to like about Ribolla Gialla? But I just couldn't get behind this white blend. Instead of the different varieties working together to produce a whole that was greater than the sum of its part, it seemed mushy and out of focus to me.
If you're looking for an affordable, neutral white wine this one won't disappoint. If you're looking to be freaked out, look somewhere else.
You all know I'd do almost anything to taste a new grape variety. The quest for the new and the exotic comes at a price, though. Sometimes I forget to pay sufficient attention to the six grape varieties that have earned the distinction of being called "noble grapes." (photo by "T" altered art)
Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir are the key players in grape cultivation and wine production--and they have been for some time. Find out why--and get my recommendations for afordable bottles in the market now--in this week's Serious Grape column over on Serious Eats.
I reviewed my wine cellar and for a woman consumed with new grapes I've got a lot of bottles made from these traditional varieties. Just under 40% of the wine now in my possession is made primarily or exclusively with one of these grapes.
How about you? How largely do the noble grapes figure in your wine drinking habits?
Snap. Crackle. Pop.
That's what I'm looking for when I open a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I remember my first bottles from Marlborough, and how they blew my tastebuds away with their clarity and clean lines. Then the aggression emerged--too much boxwood and cat pee, too much grass, too tart.
As soon as I opened the 2008 Drylands Sauvignon Blanc I knew I was in for a treat. Gooseberries, lemon, and herbs wafted right out of the bottle. After I drank it I checked my notes to be sure. My suspicions were confirmed. This is the most exciting New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc I've tasted this year. (suggested retail $17.50; currently available for $12-$22)
This wine snaps, crackles, and pops with life. The aromas absolutely bowl you over--citrus, gooseberry, herbs and--as it opens up--flowers. The intriguing floral note in the wine's aromas carries through in the palate, which is resoundingly tart and fresh, tingling over your tongue. A deeper, blood orange note creeps into the aftertaste. This wine represents excellent QPR, and is fully worth the suggested retail price.
This wine has the pizzazz to stand up to Mexican or other spicy cuisine. We had it with a Southwestern Tortilla Salad and its fresh citrus and herbal notes were lovely with the lively flavors of the food--and something wonderful happened when the wine combined with the cilantro. Somehow, the Sauvignon Blanc muted the assertiveness that cilantro can sometimes have, while keeping it bright.
If you see this wine, grab it.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
I've always blamed it on UC Davis. I took their "Introduction to the Sensory Evaluation of Wine" course and I came out of it smelling green pepper in Cabernet Sauvignon and talking endlessly about currants and gooseberries.
Now I'm starting to wonder if it's genetic. ("Beaujolais Nouveau, Baby Nouveau," by bhollar)
My dad puts me to shame when he describes a wine. He smells all kinds of things--rhubarb, for instance--that elude me.
And I think my niece is going to put me to shame, too. She's thirteen. We were visiting friends in Paris and they--in true French fashion--offered her a taste of the delicious Chenin Blanc we were having with dinner. She refused, but did allow as how she'd like to smell it. I handed her my glass, expecting her to twist up her face and say "blech." Instead, she lowered her nose into the glass and made an appreciative sound.
I asked her what it smelled like, and braced myself for the response "wine." Her grandmother frequently has this response, and the child is, after all, thirteen and eats mostly white meat chicken and rice. What does she know of gooseberries?
"Citrus and meadowlands," was her reply.
I almost fell off the sofa. She pretty much nailed the aromas in the wine--and it's not because we text message each other about wine. Her parents drink wine but I think both would admit that they enjoy sipping it more than talking about it. And I see my niece once every few years--so I haven't contaminated her with winespeak.
I've been thinking about her response ever since and wondering if wine appreciation has a genetic component. That's not to say that education means nothing--I think it means a lot. But I do wonder now if both an interest in wine and the ability to taste and smell a wide range of flavors and aromas in wine also depends on your DNA.
I'm sure there's a scientific study somewhere that talks about this, but I want to know what you think. How do your sensory abilities with respect to wine stack up to your parents and grandparents? What about your kids? And if you have kids who smell wine, I wonder if they are less inhibited and more intuitive in their descriptions. As we age, do our minds tell us "there's no raspberry in that," whereas once our noses were screaming "berries, yum, berries"?
Wine drinkers who love Pinot Noir and have to watch the bottom line can have a tough time finding good bottles for under $20. I'm not talking about searching for a $15 bottle of Pinot Noir that will rival a $50 bottle from Burgundy or elsewhere. My sights are set lower--I just want a bottle of Pinot that doesn't taste like liquefied raspberry jam.
This week I got a reminder that New Zealand can be a good source for such bottles, when I opened up a 2006 Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir from New Zealand's Nelson region ($18.93, Garagiste; available elsewhere for $19-$21).
This was a lovely Pinot Noir for under $20, one that managed to be open and lacy without being weak and insipid. And though it was fruity, it did not have the jammy intensity that I think can ruin Pinot Noir. Instead, the wine had raspberry and mineral aromas and flavors accented by a touch of earthiness that deepened them nicely.
For me, though, it was the texture of this wine that made it stand out. Texture is important to me when I drink Pinot Noir--maybe more than it is for most people. I want my Pinot Noirs to have a seductive silkiness of texture. This wine had it, the silkiness turning gossamer and airy in the aftertaste.
While the wine lacked the complexity to make it truly outstanding, this was a very good QPR bottle--and I would buy another vintage of Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir without hesitation.
And note to self: remember to check out the New Zealand aisle next time Pinot Noir is on the shopping list.
I don't know what possessed me to do it. While I was in London recently, my friend sent me a terrific bottle of 2003 Franz Künstler Hochheimer Hölle Riesling Auslese. What with one thing and another I never got to open it while I was there. You know me well enough to anticipate I wasn't leaving it in London, either. And the box it came so carefully packed in wouldn't fit in my suitcase.
So I tucked it into the center of my suitcase, checked it at the Virgin Atlantic counter in Heathrow, and hoped for the best.
The whole trip home I kept asking my niece whether she thought the wine was already leaking through my luggage. "Yes," she told me, before she turned back to her movie. Oh well, I thought philosophically, at least it's white wine. Good white wine, too. So I'd smell like apricots for a while. Big deal.
As we watched the bags careen down the chute onto the baggage carousel, tumbling and slapping into each other, I asked my niece one more time if she thought the wine had made it safely. "You're screwed," she told me with perfect honesty and a straight face.
When my bag appeared, I hauled it off the carousel and we both started patting it to see if it was damp. No sign of damp. I gave it a good sniff. No smell of apricots.
At my parents' house, I opened the bag, shuffled through my clothes and there it was--my bottle of Riesling Auslese, in pristine condition. I put it in the fridge and we drank it that night. It was delicious, with intense floral, honey and apricot notes, a rich, mouthfilling texture, and piercing acidity.
I'm not sure I would try this with a red wine, but I would definitely run the risk again for a lovely bottle of white like this one. How about you? Have you thrown caution to the wind and checked wine in your luggage--without bubblewrap and special packaging? Was it white, or red? And what were the results.
Oh, and thank you Virgin Atlantic. Your baggage handlers have excellent QPR in my book.
Welcome to Wine Blogging Wednesday, the online tasting event dreamed up by Lenn Thompson of LennDevours. Today, our host is Richard the Passionate Foodie and his theme honors the ancient god of Sake.
I know almost nothing about Sake. I know it's made from rice. That's about it. And given my remote location in the summer, I was a bit worried about finding a bottle of the stuff to taste. But even my centrally-isolated coastal market had a small selection of sake, hiding underneath the cooking Sherry. Most of it was either worryingly expensive (more than $25) or worryingly inexpensive (under $5). One option was cloudy and had "rice bits" in it, and that seemed too advanced for this palate. So I picked a small-format bottle that cost just about $17.
Richard has a great rundown of Sake styles on his blog, and from his list I learned that the Sake I selected--the NV Rihaku Wandering Poet--falls into the Junmai Ginjo category. That means the wine should be full-bodied, with good acidity, and be fragrant and complex. Richard likes Junmai Ginjo as his "everyday" Sake.
I found the wine to be somewhat difficult to describe in terms of aromas and taste. It was like nothing I've smelled before--slightly glycerine, slightly yeasty, slightly reminiscent of beer. There was a clean, yeasty taste on the tongue, with a relatively full-bodied feel in the mouth. More yeasty, glycerine notes appeared in the flavors.
I liked the Sake, but at $16.99 for 375ml it's probably not something I'd rush out and buy again, and I would say it represents good QPR. However, I am intrigued and want to learn more. So this has been a great experience, because it's going to widen my wine horizons.
Thanks to Richard for a great theme, and I look forward to reading the other posts and learning more about Sake.
As someone who focuses on wine values, I've always got my eye out for wine regions that produce excellent wines at affordable prices. Sometimes they're up-and-coming new wine regions. Sometimes, however, I "discover" a wine region that is steeped in tradition but which, for some reason, seems to be flying under the radar of press and consumers. In both cases I feel like I've seen a glimpse of the future, and that it's only a matter of time before more people catch on and start seeking out the region's wines.
I recently caught just such a glimpse of the future when I was invited to taste wines from the northern Alsace made under the Helfrich label. That's Frederic Helfrich to the right, who works with winemaker Benoit Pattin to craft wines that are true to the region's style and aren't manipulated to taste like wines from somewhere else.
As "discoveries" go, this qualifies as one that was just sitting under my nose. They've been growing grapes--mainly white wine grapes--in the Alsace for at least two thousand years along a stretch of French countryside between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River that has swapped allegiances a number of times. In some areas, German is spoken. In other areas, French is the native tongue. What this means is that Alsace wines blend tradition, innovation, and diversity. They also taste great, and are extremely affordable given the quality of what's produced.
I am a huge fan of Riesling and Gewürztraminer, which makes up about 40% of the grapes grown in the Alsace. Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir are also well-represented, and thrive in the region's soil and climate. The region has three AOCs (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée): Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru and Crémant d'Alsace. Well known winemakers from the region include Trimbach, Hugel & Fils, and Domaine Zind-Humbrecht.
But it's worth seeking out wines made by less familiar names. The region is home to hundreds of producers who are making wines with plenty of personality that have an attractive price tag. Helfrich's wines, for example, come in two price tiers: an entry level wine that is $14.99 (and drinks like a $30 wine) and a Grand Cru series that retails for $24.99 (while tasting like a $50 wine).
Here were a few standouts from my tasting. Alsatian wines are perfect for summer--refreshing, aromatic, and flavorful--but I can imagine many other occasions when they would be great to have on hand, such as Thanksgiving, Easter, with clam chowder in January, and with the first picnic in April to name just a few.
2007 Helfrich Riesling (AOC Alsace, $14.99; available for $9-$17). As this crisp wine opens in the glass, it reveals aromas of apple and then peach. These continue on into the flavors, where they remain barely 0ff-dry with plenty of stony, mineral notes to keep the fruit in check. Rich withough being heavy, this is one of the nicest Rieslings I've had at this price point. Excellent QPR.
2007 Helfrich Pinot Gris (AOC Alsace, $14.99; available for $9-$17) Much richer than the Riesling, this Pinot Gris has aromas and flavors of smoke, grass, and apple with a mineral inflection in the finish. It will stand up to rich, fatty foods like foie gras and lobster. Another wine with unusual complexity and personality given its price. Excellent QPR.
2005 Helfrich Gewürztraminer Grand Cru (AOC Alsace Grand Cru, $24.99; available for $14-$23) This stunning, age-worthy wine comes from the Steinklotz Vineyard in Slace. It's honey and rose aromas lead you into a wine with lychee and apple flavors and a deliciously spicy aftertaste that is true to the grape and seldom in evidence in modern Gewürztraminers. Excellent QPR on a Grand Cru wine with real style and class. (And if you get a crack at the 2008 vintage, buy it. It is very young now but it will be stunning when it settles down.)
Get to know the Alsace and its wine. They're the future.
What happens when a winemaker like Maria Martinez Sierra--known for her red wines at Bodegas Montecillo in the Rioja--turns her attention to white wine instead? Something wonderful if this bottle is any indication.
The 2006 Bodegas Montecillo Verdemar Albariño is made from grapes grown in Spain's Rías Baixas region, and it's the first vintage of the wine available in the US. I found it to be a textbook Albariño with delectable citrus, saline, and bread dough aromas. There were flavors of apple, along with more doughy and citrusy notes, and a salt spray finish. This is an excellent QPR effort from Bodegas Montecillo, with their typical attention to varietal correctness and every element in perfect balance. The suggested retail is $14, and you may be lucky enough to find this (or a later vintage) near you for around $12.
Albariño is a perfect partner for shellfish, and I'm particularly fond of it with clams. So peel yourself some shrimp, crack into a lobster, or steam some Little Necks and enjoy this zesty, summery wine with friends.

we hava a zimbra 8.0 network edition running and we use an active directory domain for authentication.
On the client side we are using Thunderbird.
I want to configure zimbra to use kerberos5 from Domaincontroller to set up thunderbird with Kerberos5/Gssapi
All my tries were without luck so far. Can someone please tell me if it is possible?
In the domain the gpo are configured so that the users passwords have to be changed all 15 Days. But when a user changes the password (AD) thunderbird asks for a password, which must be entered 3 times (logon, zindus and smtp)
I want to use thunderbirds kerberos5/gssapi so that the user just has to change the password on the server and thunderbird does a single sign on with the actual credentials.
thank you

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers came into the New Year having won all 16 games in December and 17 straight overall. The change of the calendar and the Denver Nuggets ended that run.
Danilo Gallinari scored 17 points and added six rebounds to give the Nuggets a 92-78 win over the Clippers on Tuesday.
Just the third team ever to finish a whole month 16-0, the Clippers hadn't lost a game since a defeat at home against New Orleans on Nov. 26, but their franchise-record winning streak came to an end as the team never led after the first quarter.
Kenneth Faried gave 14 points and 11 rebounds while Andre Miller added 12 points and 12 assists for the Nuggets, who have won three of their last four games.
Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe each had 12 points for the Clippers, who shot just 38.5 percent in the contest.

text: Shot this buck last week after passing on him the first morning. 4 days and one mean storm later, he reappeared and I took him at just over 300 yards. He dropped and rolled 150 yards down the hill. I could barely keep him in one place as I was cleaning him due to the steepness of the canyon. Got him back to camp after a good 4 hour hike. Hes going to be real good eating. Also, my brother came back and shot a small ragged bull elk the next morning. Packed him out and my legs were shot! It was a good hunt all around. Wont be going to the store for meat for awhile!

Ok I know this is a long read but I'm sure some of you have stories like these... Was wondering if anyone has some interesting stories about neighbors you wish would just move away?
While I don't have any that are loud and disturbing or whatever the 1 pet peeve I have are the ones that don't keep their properties kept up. For instance there are 2 houses at a T interersection right dow the street from me that mow their lawns about once a month, never spray the weeds and don't trim around the trees or fences. So when they do actually mow there are big windrows across the lawn like they are making hay. One of these houses also has a detached garage with a non-working car that hangs out just enough that the garage door is resting on the back bumper. You'd think they could push it in a foot more and close the door completely.
Then just last week I noticed another house down the block that someone just moved into a couple months ago that the lawn looked like it hadn't been mowed in well over a month along with the shrubs really getting overgrown. Saw they finally mowed the other day but they had to have hired someone to do it because no way your typical push mower would have cut that even on the highest setting. It was THAT bad. The sad thing is other than these 3 houses everyone else takes good care of their properties and the guy next to one of these house is ready to put a privacy fence up just so he doesn't have to see the neighbor with the car hanging out of the garage. And these people are all just trashy enough that you just can't walk up and nicely ask them to mow their lawns a little more often because they probably don't see why anyone would have a problem with what they do. These are the same kind of people that don't rake up their leaves in the fall either so everyone else is always having to clean up their lawns when the wind blows them around.
One of the guys here at work lives in a newer Regency development and his next door lady is like this too so in a drunken state one night he decided to help her out by spraying a bunch of Round-Up on her lawn. Sadly he says her lawn is already brown enough from all the grass clippings that sit on the lawn when she does mow so she probably didn't even notice.
My god, where do you live?
I am probably the bad neighbor in my neighborhood. My lawn is too long, I don't water or mow enough and it is always chock full of kids toys. I looks like we run a daycare out our house. That plus all the construction in my backyard means we have nothing but 3 foot tall weeds back there.

Does your garage door close all the way? Just checking.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
First house we moved into: On our right side we had a grown up son with impaired social skills living with his socially impaired parents. These people were googy and not all that pretty. They bought a puppy who was one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen and somehow got it to grow up to be the ugliest dog Ive ever seen. We had a window in our living room which looked right at their front porch. Well, every morning we would sit on our couch with our coffee and we would always look over to see Mark (the son) waving at us. Ok dude we know you can see us, but dont celebrate it. Creepy. He also came by one day when my wife was alone and asked if he could come in and hang out since noone was at his house to talk to. We moved.
2nd house we moved into: On the right of us is an older lady whose grown up son has social skills impairment. Good grief. They let their dog sit outside and bark throughout the day and its extremely annoying. Plus he walks it and it craps in my yard. On the left of us is another mother son combo. The mother gripes at me for mowing my lawn at 830 in the morning because her grown up son who lives with her has an early morning paper route and he needs his sleep. In front of us lives yet another mother/son living arrangement. They are really nice but their yard looks like crap and her son looks like Tim Robbins did in High Fidelity (which makes me laugh everytime i see him) Behind us is a guy who never mows, the back yard is full of random crap, and his weeds grow into my yard. He used to have a fence that blocked us from really seeing it, but guess what, he took it down.
3rd house TBD: no neighbors, out in the country, surrounded by a 30 foot wall and moat.

Yeah it does, I don't think I am your neighbor.
I hope my neighbors aren't this venomous - I have a dirty tree out front that sheds branches, leaves, and bark every day, 7-days a week, 365. I hate it, but I'm not gonna spend the money to have it cut down until the pockets are a little fuller (if you know what I mean).
No car garage door stop yet though ....
my only gripe with my neighbor is he always has people over and they fill up our street parking and it makes it tricky to get my racecar hauler out of the driveway alot of times.
I however am the neighbor who doesn't care about his yard. I don't water my lawn (waste of money to me), cut it only when i need to (prefer if i could pave it all), but thats just me my yard looks aren't on my list of priorities of things that need to be done.

I just paved about 400 sq feet of my backyard, and 600 sq feet of my front yard. I am excited to mow less now.

Maybe he thinks your racecar hauler is an eyesore too Nah, I shouldn't talk with my beagles back yard behavior...they're normally well behaved but if there's a rabbit around look out!
Im just glad I have Homan as my bodyguard, Eustachy joked. If I ever make it real big and get to drive a limo everyday, hell be driving it. I thought he came off the bench like somebody was stealing his cow or something.
I thought I had it bad because I have kids running through my back yard.....
I live in Beaverdale, mostly older folks in my neighborhood but a few people scattered here and there around my age too.
I'm not talking about they don't mow like once a week like most people do, I'm talking the grass is seeding out, over grown with weeds, and so tall the mower is clogging when the do actually decide to mow. Compared to the average house in the neighborhood they stick out like sores and look trashy. The one with the car hanging out of the garage had a weed growing in the drive that got about 4-5 feet tall before some neighbor kindly sprayed it one night. They also have a voluntary tree growing out of one of the basement window sills. Again, I could probably find way more things like that with these places that when you add them all up it looks really trashy overall.
So, my fiance and I bought a nice little Beaverdale Brick about a year ago, not knowing the house next door was a rental... It seemed like a nice young couple (early 20's)living next door with their newborn daughter, then we stayed a night.... This couple also had a 16 year old girl living there who had parties EVERY night... Needless to say she didn't have the most desireable friends and this couple would go buy them beer, cigarettes, whatever they wanted... They eventually get evicted so we are lucky to have an empty house next door for a couple months as the owner repairs and cleans to find a new tenant... He assures me he willbe much more selective of the next tenants...
So a few more weeks go by and we see a nice older lady looking at the place and the For Rent sign comes down, however we didnt know it was her granddaughter that rented the place... It gets weird right away... The place turns pretty active right away, nice pimped out cars coming and going and alot of 'attractive-ish' females coming and going, mostly leaving with bags packed on friday coming back sunday looking like they have been through he##... There is one guy there with gold fronts and teardrop tattoos that seems to be running the place... Naturally, with our vivid imaginations, we assume that he is a pimp and rented the place for his 'girls'... Then he stops coming around and activity dies down... Turns out the girl that lives there is a 'dancer'... There are still some pretty interesting folk coming and going but not near as bad... Aparantly the 'pimp' was just a guy she was dating at the time... So ya, moral of the story is we are going to build a privacy fence...
What is this address and how attractive we talkin?
You've got strippers living next door and you're going to build a privacy fence?
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
Within the first month of having moved to our townhouse in Ankeny- It was a nice night so the windows were open. Our neighbor decided to leave hers open as well. We were woke up on a Friday night (Sat Morning) about 2:30 to her and a guy "enjoying each other's company" and not being shy about it. Quite humorous to us.
We have a neighbor that has a boxer that he just lets run free. I'm an animal lover like everyone else, but with an 18 month old running around it makes me nervous. He's been called on it several times but nothing changes.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

USPS reaches tentative agreement with American Postal Workers Union
March 15, 2011
The United States Postal Service (USPS) said yesterday that it has reached an agreement with the American Postal Workers Union AFL-CIO (APWU) on a tentative four-and-a-half year contract.
USPS officials said that upon ratification by union membership-expected-in the next two months, this deal will run through May 20, 2015 and impact roughly 205,000 employees. They added that this contract will "set the stage for a more flexible and cost-effective workforce to accommodate America's changing mailing trends," citing how this deal will include:
-economic provisions that address critical Postal Service needs to control labor costs; and
-enhanced workforce flexibility to match workforce with workload.
The USPS also said that reasonable benefits and wages are key to help it meet its financial obligations and have a strong future.
"This is a responsible agreement that is in the best interest of our employees, our customers and the future of the Postal Service," said Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe in a statement. "The contract will help lay a foundation that is fair to our employees and stakeholders."
The USPS initially kicked off negotiations with the APWU in September 2010. The APWU is the largest of the Postal Service's four unions and represents 205,000 employees, including clerks, mechanics, vehicle drivers, custodians and some administrative positions.
This announcement follows negotiations between the USPS and the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, which stalled on its November 20, 2010 expiration date and now is following its current agreement until a third-party weighs in on a new contract, according to the USPS. The NRLCA is comprised of 67,000 career employees and 48,000 non-career employees; these employees deliver mail in rural and suburban areas.
Jerry Hempstead, president of parcel consultancy Hempstead Consulting, said in a September 2010 interview USPS has many challenges when it comes to getting relief from its rank and file union members.
"USPS has more employees than it has work at the moment, and management has a contract…but you really don't hear about layoffs at the USPS," he said. "You hear more about voluntary and early retirement. There is not much the USPS can do short of making sure overtime is in check and not replacing anybody who resigns or retires to right-size the business. But considering their numbers they have done a yeoman's job of bringing down man-hours to coincide with the decline in business."
Hempstead added that if the USPS can get some relief from the unions in terms of the way business is managed to better align staff hours to the amount of work coming through, it would be a great win for USPS management.
Following an $8.5 billion loss in fiscal year 2010, the United States Postal Service (USPS) began the new fiscal year with a $329 million loss in the first quarter.
This is a deeper loss than the $297 loss incurred a year ago, but USPS officials said that excluding the cost of prefunding future retiree healthcare benefits and noncash adjustments to the workers' compensation liability, the Postal Service would have had a net income of $226 million for the first quarter.
During the height of the recession, the USPS cited things like economic pressures and migration to electronic media having a significant adverse impact on mail volumes and operating revenues. To counter this, the USPS implemented various measures to eliminate work hours and drive productivity improvement, but still was unable to get into the black.

Johnny O, Rock Ridge and Sol de Mexico were a huge hit, judging by the number of people who attended, danced and had a great time at our Oct. 20 street dance. The weather was perfect and the crowd enthusiastic for all of the entertainment. Rifle does show up for a good time and a good show.
How many other music performances have you enjoyed in Rifle in the last few years? If you like music, there are a lot of choices. There's music at Centennial Park, music at the Bookcliffs Arts Council park, music at several commercial venues in town, Symphony in the Valley, the awesome Academy of Western Slope Artists and Musicians concerts, and school district and Colorado Mountain College programs.
How many of the performances you wanted to attend were rained on or rained out?
As much fun as outdoor concerts are, wouldn't it be terrific if there was a place to go, if weather required it? Someplace that had wonderful, state of the art acoustics, and sound system, a dance floor and choice of cabaret or stadium seating? We could have music year-round.
Obviously, Rifle is a town that enjoys musical events. Think about the possibilities with a state of the art performance venue: musical theater, headlining groups on tour, the Metropolitan Opera on streaming live video (OK, so I'm probably the only one who wants that), children's concerts, symphony performances, fabulous recitals. We have so much talent locally that could benefit from a great place to perform, and we could all benefit from expanded opportunities.
In the words of Johnny O, "Please support the New Ute Event Center. It's such a beautiful, historic building. ... It's the best thing you can do for the town of Rifle. I'm sure of it."
If music is important to you, the New Ute Events Center needs your support. Financial support would be much appreciated, but we also need enthusiasm in the community, and people who care to help spread the word that it is possible, if we are willing to go for it. Visit us online, write us a note, let your voice and/or your pocketbook be heard.
Largest donor for October: Anonymous. Second largest donor: Grady Hazelton, WingNutz.
Thank you all.
Elizabeth Stuver is a board member of the New Ute Theatre Society. For information about the events center project, call (970) 414-0834 or go online to utetheater.com. Mailing address is P.O. Box 907, Rifle, CO 81650.

Some top ballers gathered this week in Tokyo for the AIG Japan Open (phew - isn't this tourney lucky to still be around.) They also attended the official opening ceremony where they broke open sake barrels to wish happiness and success for the tourney.
But, lo and behold, there was one baller who looked like he either wanted to somewhere else completely or he hit the sake way too early and way too hard:
I wonder why? Maybe it's because this classy moment of David's is making the rounds...priceless:

I didn't catch a word he said.ReplyDelete
Rich, please 'splain yoself.
All those handsome young men in kimonos, though...that was enough to make my day.
natch: he was saying he couldn't hit the fuckin' ball because his head is all messed up (just speaking out loud)...the umpire gives him a warning for the language and he says "why because I'm talking?"...then he says it's because she's a woman...women can't do anything.ReplyDelete
what a lovely man...
I do hope that you are aware that he apologised afterwards for what he said. He has a very bad temper, and says things he dosent mean.ReplyDelete
Surely everyone here has said something they've regretted afterwards sometime? Give him a break, David is a wonderful person.
Thanks, Rich, for the explanation. I gotta stop drinking before I come here. Honestly, I didn't hear anything but the warning from the chair.ReplyDelete
imho, people who say things in the heat of the moment usually mean them, even if their emotions exaggerate what they are saying. *crosses Ferrer off "nice guy" list*
Rebecca: I would put this incident in the same category as what Hewitt said about the linesperson during his US Open match against James Blake in 2001:ReplyDelete
Hewitt apologized afterwards but it's ugly and unnecessary. It speaks to something bubbling on the underside that gets spoken when the filters are turned off e.g. in the heat of battle.
It's good David apologized but it's unfortunately out there. If anything, let's hope he learns from the experience and understands how misogyny has NO PLACE in the world.

quit whining. he's still a sexy stud. he can curse at me in spanish all niiiiiiiiight loooooooong. ;)ReplyDelete
of course anon - it's always important to put it into context. what goes on behind closed doors stays behind closed doors - unless there's a nanny cam involved of courseReplyDelete
I'm sorry but that video cracked me up real hard. I also think you can't really take stuff like that too seriously. Especially when it comes from that cute, tiny guy. LOLReplyDelete
But then, it's also true it's no way to behave in public spaces.
I'd say all Spaniards seem to have bad tempers, but Rafa would never do that. He'd show off his bare tooshie, but he'd never do THAT. ;-P
- RebeccaOctober 4, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I do agree that it's unnecessary, but I guess it's easy for us to comment on it. Tennis players feel pressure, you know, what with defending points and playing in front of however many people and so on. *shrugs*ReplyDelete
I do believe he has learned from it. I remember afterwards he was on his forum, he kept apologising. I think he felt really bad about it. I also think that speaks volumes about him, the fact that he goes on to his own forum and talks to his fans. How many other players in the top 10 do that?
Anyway, I had forgotten all about this until someone gave me a link to this page. :)
I just wanted to say that his good outweighs his bad by miles. :)

Despite glitches, politics, benefits of Obamacare are real
It's been more than two weeks since the official rollout of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
And despite the toxic politics swirling around its implementation and well-publicized cyber issues bogging down registration on the government's website, traditionally underserved communities stand to benefit significantly from national healthcare reform.
"A child born in Upton in comparison to a child born in Roland Park, there's a 20-year difference. The average life expectancy in Upton is 62, the average life expectancy in Roland Park is 82 and much of that is connected to disparities in healthcare," said Rev. Alvin Hathaway, pastor of Union Baptist Church on Druid Hill Avenue in the heart of the Upton community of West Baltimore.
But, the health disparity between impoverished communities like Upton and wealthier communities like Roland Park may be even worse than characterized by Hathaway.
According to a recent study cited by Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, the life expectancy of White residents living in Roland Park is about 30 years longer than Black residents of Upton/Druid Heights.
In January, the O'Malley administration launched a four-year, $16 million pilot project led by Brown to bring much needed medical services to disadvantaged neighborhoods and designated Upton/Druid Heights as one of five, "health enterprise zones," created under a law passed last year. The goals of the health enterprise zone program include reducing disparities among races and ethnic groups and improving access to care in communities that lack services.
And Hathaway, who began as assistant pastor at the politically active West Baltimore institution in 2004 also sees the arrival of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a healthcare game change in their neighborhood.
"The impact in the Upton community potentially can be huge. We know we have a large number of people who are either uninsured or underinsured and this (ACA) provides access to healthcare for them, which is so important," Rev. Hathaway said.
"A very significant aspect of it is that people can't be excluded because of pre-existing conditions; so there are a number of people who have issues with diabetes, issues of high blood pressure and other kinds of issues and this is the opportunity to get signed up and get access to healthcare," he added.
But, getting Upton residents access to the ACA has been a challenge for Hathaway and other community leaders.
"The big challenge in our community is internet access," Hathaway said.
"The way you get in and the way you get on is through the internet…we are victims of the digital divide, we really have to put on a hard push to make people aware and to get them registered. We know if a family (of four) makes $30-thousand or less they tend not to have internet access in their home," he added.
In an effort to bring vital healthcare information to the Upton community Union Baptist sponsored a day-long event last month on the Saturday prior to the Oct. 1 launch of the ACA that attracted nearly 200 residents who heard from representatives of several state agencies and healthcare organizations. The event only reinforced the towering healthcare issues faced by many impoverished communities.
"That's the challenge of the church. People have to do their follow-ups, they have to take their meds, they have to follow the advice of the physician," Hathaway said.
"The faith community I think really has to step up to the plate because the health of the community I believe is part of our divine mandate."

Meyers Gaining Confidence on the Defensive Line
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
The Woodlands, Texas native registered 14 tackles and 1.5 for loss in his limited play in 2013, but Meyers introduced himself to Cyclone Nation during the spring game when he recorded six tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Meyers is now listed as the No. 1 left end for fall camp and he's hoping the success he had in the spring will carry over into the fall.
"The more reps you get the more comfortable everything feels," Meyers said. "The experience of playing with the ones in spring ball has definitely helped."
Meyers is still learning his position. He has a new defensive ends coach in Stan Eggen and has an entirely new set of terminology to master.
Eggen likes what he's seen in Meyers so far.
"He's a talented young man," Eggen said. "He wants to be good, but now he's got to learn how to play with the consistency and play faster. Not that he wasn't playing hard, but just learning how to play faster with a more sense of urgency. He's starting to do that."
Meyers will team with team captain and All-Big 12 defensive end Cory Morrissey on the defensive line. Morrissey is the leader of the group, and both will have help with the addition of junior college transfers in Dale Pierson and Trent Taylor.
Both have impressed Meyers so far in camp.
"Taylor and Pierson have come in and done well," Meyers said. "They will help us."
Meyers was a multi-sport talent in high school. His size helped him excel in basketball as well. One of his AAU coaches was Reid Gettys, a member of Houston's famed Phi Slamma Jamma team in the 1980s and Big 12 basketball color analyst.
Meyers is hoping to use his athletic ability to find his way into the opponents' backfield in 2014.
"Coach Eggen has really stressed getting off the ball faster," Meyers said. "Once you get off of the ball and shoot your hands, that tackle starts to set on you, and once he sets, you can really get a move on him. You just have to get off of the ball first."
