If literacy rates were measured by a nation's proverbs and poetry, Afghanistan would be one of the most literate countries on earth. These two forms of the oral tradition have been embraced for centuries and reveal the heart and soul of the Afghan people.
Proverbs are part of every culture and have been for thousands of years. Francis Bacon said that the wit, genius, and spirit of a nation are discovered in its proverbs. Here are some common Afghan proverbs which provide unique insights into the ancient culture.
There is a path to even the tallest mountain.
The mountains are our people.
The harsh land is integral to this nomadic herder culture with deep roots in high pastures. "Koh-o mar-domon moya," a saying goes: "The mountains are our people." Qala-e Sabzi.
A warm fire is better than a delicious meal.
Refugees return to their bombed out neighborhood in Herat
If there is only bread and onions, still have a happy face.
In a ditch where water has flowed, it will flow again.
Many drops make a river.
A real friend is one who takes the hand of his friend in times of distress and helplessness.
Not even the five fingers of our hands are alike.
There is blessing in action.
Brick Workers, Bamiyan Province
First a friend then a brother.
In Afghanistan, the tradition of poetry writing and recitation dates back a thousand years. To lend credibility to an argument, the preface, "The poet says…" denies the listener the opportunity to disagree. Although many do not read or write, they can recite long passages of both classic and modern poetry.
Hanzala of Badghis – 9th century poet
Wounded Afghan fighter outside of Jalalabad
Ah! How beautiful is Kabul encircled by her arid mountains
And Rose, of the trails of thorns she envies
Her gusts of powdered soil, slightly sting my eyes
But I love her, for knowing and loving are born of this same dust
My song exhalts her dazzling tulips
And at the beauty of her trees, I blush
How sparkling the water flows from Pul-I-Mastaan!
May Allah protect such beauty from the evil eye of man!
Khizr chose the path to Kabul in order to reach Paradise
For her mountains brought him close to the delights of heaven
From the fort with sprawling walls, A Dragon of protection
Each stone is there more precious than the treasure of Shayagan
Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye
Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls …
– Saib-e-Tabrizi, 17th century poet
The earth opens her warm arms
to embrace me
The earth is my mother
She understands the sorrow
of my wandering
My wandering
is an old crow
that conquers
the very top of an aspen
a thousand times a day
Perhaps life is a crow
that each dawn
dips its blackened beak
in the holy well of the sun
Perhaps life is the grief-stricken earth
who has opened up her bloodied arms to me
And here I give thanks
on the brink of 'victory'
– Partaw Naderi
July, 2002

Diff'rent Strokes actor Conrad Bain dies at 89
PEOPLE is reporting today that Conrad Bain, star of Diff'rent Strokes has died in his hometown of Livermore, Calif. He was 89.
His daughter, Jennifer Bain, confirmed his death to PEOPLE, and said her father died of natural causes.
Bain is best known for his role as Park Avenue millionaire Phillip Drummond in Diff'rent Strokes, which originally aired in 1978 for an eight year run.
In 1996, Bain reprised his role of Phillip Drummond on the series finale of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Bain also played Dr. Arthur Harmon, Bea Arthur's nemesis, who married her best friend Vivian, in the hit show Maude which aired from 1972-78.
Bain's daughter told people, "He'd been unconscious for a couple of days, but he was comfortable and it was very peaceful,"
Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman who starred opposite of Bain in Diff'rent Strokes ran into trouble later in life. Bridges struggled with substance abuse, and Coleman had a number of personal and financial problems. Coleman died in 2010, at the age of 42.

ISO eng. A3 metric template
Hi Guys
I have slightly modified the QCAD ISO eng. A3 metric template.
In the attached dxf file you will find that I have added a Notes section and have enclosed the border. As well as creating 'editable' blocks out of the Notes, Revision and Title blocks which will show up in the block list. You can simply edit these to suit your needs ('double-click' to open the block in its own window -then you can change it).
I have also added AEC layers, again which will show in the layer list.
To use the template simply save it to your templates folder.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Robert Griffin III calls tight end Logan Paulsen a "lumberjack."
Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan chimes in with "gym rat" and "Neanderthal."
Whatever the nickname, Paulsen is now the Washington Redskins starting tight end, a job even he didn't think he'd have.
Fred Davis is out with a torn Achilles, and Chris Cooley working his way back into playing shape after being re-signed. That leaves the 6-foot-5 Paulsen atop the depth chart in his third season as an undrafted player out of UCLA.
Paulsen has four catches in each of his last two games as Griffin spreads the ball around without a prime go-to target on the field.

furloughs, teabags, and old cameras
a lot of us are in a rough spot, economically. it has me worried because i wonder if we've entered a new age where the US isn't the super-power it used to be. there used to be a time where all the good stuff was made and sold in the US. other countries had to come to us to get their fix of the good life. however, with the maturing of a global economy, perhaps there won't be such a disparity between the countries that can be considered haves and have-nots. think about it on a micro level. if you want item x and find it sold cheapest from an internet company based overseas, do you really care that you're patronizing a foreign entity? no ... bottom line, you can't afford not to buy that item at it's cheapest legitimate price. this wasn't a problem 20 years ago, but products are now distributed worldwide, price points are established from the global trade of product, and people across the world are competing directly with each other to sell this stuff. no longer are we reliant on the neighborhood "pusher" to get us our fix. no longer are we limited to the sears-roebuck catalog to browse what's available for purchase. now, i'm no economics major, but don't these facts seem to favor the economies of other countries, and not so much the super-powers? so from a very naive piecing together of the facts, i worry if the US economy is not just hitting a speed bump, but falling back to the pack, as this new world economy levels out.
why am i pondering such things? well, i'm sitting at home like a bum on a monday afternoon because my day job just evoked a furlough policy for its employees. i'm taking a "voluntary" unpaid day off today. two more work week's worth are coming before the end of the year. it's a scary time for me because i'm probably in my earning potential prime, but the economy has taken a huge dump, and i'm not confident this downturn will be followed by some sort of giant boon later (like WW2 after the great depression, or the internet sensation after the recession of the first george bush).
on the bright side, i got to sleep in! i tidied up a bit around the house while listening to slum village (r.i.p. baatin). i found a halo action figure the wife gave me at our wedding. i unboxed it and posed it to show just how bored i am ...
tea anyone?
in other news, as promised, i joined the aforementioned socal photog shootout group on facebook. as it happens, they are in the early stages of planning an upcoming "shootout" somewhere in irvine on saturday, august 29. i am so there! hopefully my friends lew and tien can come too. i've begun following group leader hanssie trainor on twitter to stay connected with the group's plans. i also checked out her blog. pretty impressive stuff. i also notice she went on a shoot with becker in venice, ca. it looks like she's part of becker's social networking for photographers: thebschool. interesting how it all intertwines.
speaking of twitter, i started my own account. i've enjoyed following people for a few months now, but i thought i'd toe the waters of actually making updates. my gut has always told me such things were a bit too narcissistic for my taste, but that's contradicted by my incessant following of jessica claire, jasmine star, becker, shaq, questlove, talib kweli, and major nelson. we'll see how this goes. upon expressing my desire to be part of the upcoming shootout, hanssie is following me! another oc photog named greg bumatay is too. i'm not sure who greg is, how he found me, or why he's following me, but he's got some impressive stuff on his blog, so hey! ... welcome aboard!
finally, i'll leave you with this interesting image the wife took over the weekend. she visited the family in san jose for her grandmother's 90th birthday (i stayed behind to play baseball; i'm that dedicated). while there, they enjoyed a family slideshow of old photos. i guess they also unearthed these old guys. wow!
where are the lcd's on these things??
whoops! the cubs are on playing the reds on espn. gotta go!

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Some things should probably go untweeted, especially things like what the District Department of Transportation tweeted Wednesday.
DDOT wrote the following on Twitter: "Thx to everyone who started following us for the Inauguration. We invite you to stick around. We're a train wreck waiting to happen."
They followed the tweet up a few minutes later by writing "Metaphorically speaking", but the original tweet featuring the "train wreck" comment was deleted.
A Reddit user got this screenshot, pictured above, before the tweet vanished.
"It was meant to be self deprecating using a well known expression, but it was a poor choice of words and that's why we deleted it," Monica Hernandez of DDOT said of the tweet. "We did not mean it literally and most people seemed to realize we were not being serious."
Yeah, that tweet probably wasn't the best idea.
We have spoken with DDOT and are currently waiting for a response.

Is There A Camera Crew In Your Child's Future?
by Kristy Campbell
While at the gym yesterday, one of the Pussycat Dolls' songs came on my iPod. My teenage daughter keeps me hip by adding songs I normally wouldn't choose, and as I listened to "When I Grow Up", I realized how becoming famous is replacing so many other goals for kids.
When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies
I recently attended an empowerment think tank meeting led by Jess Weiner. I am a part of her Actionist Network™ and Jess' mission is clear… "to create a nation of confident women and girls". Our purpose was to brainstorm and to construct strategies for companies and media to help support messages of self-esteem to young girls. As we discussed issues that are prevalent in our culture as well as the body image messages that are being reinforced to our young girls, a statistic popped up from Jess' Power Point presentation. I'm completely misquoting her research in that I can't remember if it was a study of 10 or 10,000 tween girls (8-12 years old), but the resulting information was clear. When the girls were asked what the top three career choices are for them, they unequivocally answered:
1. Singer
2. Actress
3. Famous

Landshut : Michelin's recommendations
On the valleyed banks of the Isar, the former capital of the dukedom of Lower Bavaria has maintained its medieval town centre practically intact. Memories of the dukes of Wittelsbach from the Ingolstadt and Landshut branches, whose court outshone that of their Munich cousins through the 16C, are still vivid. Every four years, the town commemorates the princely wedding (in 1475) of the son of Duke Ludwig the Rich and Hedwige, daughter of the King of Poland.

Facebook celebrated its 10th anniversary this week. Can you believe it's been a decade since the social media site was invented?
Talk about using Facebook religiously: Facebook says it has 143 million people who check Facebook daily.
And that's more Americans checking Facebook each day than read the Bible.
EXTRA: Facebook celebrates 10 years with user movies
A CBS News poll found that about 40 million people use the Bible daily in the U.S. and Canada.
It boasts of 757 million daily active users — 19 percent of who are in the U.S. and Canada.
What's more, Facebook's monthly user population is larger than six of the seven continents, trailing only Asia.

|Coordinator of Basketball Operations
Darnell Archey, who enjoyed a record-setting career as a player with the Bulldogs, returned to the Butler basketball program in the summer of 2009 as Coordinator of Basketball Operations. He is in his third season.
Archey helped the Bulldogs to 100 wins during his four-year
career as a player, 1999-2003. He finished his career as
Butler's all-time leader in three-point field goals, and he
currently stands third on Butler's all-time list for
three-pointers (217). He further set an NCAA Division I
record for consecutive free throws made (85), and he finished with
Butler single season (.973 in 2002-03) and career (.951) records
for free throw percentage.
A native of New Castle, Ind., Archey is one of just four players in Butler history to contribute to 100 victories. Each year that he played, the Bulldogs tied or set a school record for victories, capped by a 27-6 mark and a run to the NCAA Tournament "Sweet 16" in 2002-03. He sparked Butler's second-round tournament win over #14 Louisville, 79-71, that season by hitting eight of nine three-point field goal attempts and scoring 26 points in the victory! Following his senior season, he won the Men's Collegiate Three-Point Championship at the Final Four
Archey joined the Butler staff after spending the 2008-09 season as varsity basketball coach at Park Tudor High School. He previously had served as head coach at Columbus North High School (2006-08), as head junior varsity coach at Carmel High School (2005-06) and varsity assistant coach at Carmel (2004-05). In 2003-04, he played briefly with the Harlem Globetrotters and had a stint with a touring Australian basketball club.

I am looking to buy a really nice suit for interviews and such. I already have some halfway nice ones, but I'm thinking of buying one more-expensive (or, preferably, expensive-looking) suit. I am willing to spend up to $700, but if I can get away with less that would be nice.
I visited a JoS A Banks yesterday, and was told about some kind of "corporate sale" they have coming up this week. They had one "signature" suit that looked really nice, which they claimed was usually priced around $700 which they'd be selling for $300.
I also did some looking around the net, and found some merchants on ebay selling some Baroni suits. Here is an example I picked more-or-less randomly from ebay:
BARONI $1195 MEN 150S SUIT~46R~DARK NAVY W/ BLUE STRIPE - eBay (item 140242082354 end time Jun-23-08 16:25:15 PDT)
So, should I buy locally, or through the net? The advantage of buying locally is safety, and the fact that I would know that it would fit, since I would have them measure me and tailor the suit to my needs. The advantage of buying through ebay or some such is that I might be able to get a better overall value (the example I linked claims to be selling a $1200 suit for $315). I could then take such a suit to a local tailor and have him adjust it accordingly.
I wouldn't trust an eBay seller who looks like this:
I bought my one suit from Younkers, so I wouldn't say I have any experience buying nice suits. From my experience with eBay, though, I wouldn't buy a nice suit from there. These are expensive enough that I think there's a high danger of getting a "replica" (a generic knock-off of questionable quality usually from overseas with a namebrand label attached and passed off as the real thing). If you find a gently used or discontinued suit you could probably find a good deal, but not on a new suit. All merchants, brick-and-mortar or online, get their suits from pretty much the same supplier and pay pretty much the same price for it, so I doubt one merchant would magically be able to sell an identical suit for substantially less than another. I guess I'd buy locally from someone with an incentive to treat you right and keep you coming back, than from an eBay seller who might save you 5-10% but you may never see again. Just my rambling $.02.
Mine have always been from Penney's or Younkers, too, so my experience is limited.
I think AIT makes a real good point about the quality potential of the suit on Ebay. I'd want to have some more security with something like this, and I'd feel better knowing that I had tried it on (Don't let my mother know I ever said this!!).
Go with the store, man. It seems a lot safer.

I wear a suit everyday to work. I highly recommend the first place that you look is either one of the bigger younkers (merle hay in dsm, or jordan creek), or better yet dillards at jordan creek. I would check there super discount racks though. I buy almost every suit off the clearance rack. If your size is right you usually can find one in a dark color blue or black. You can certainly find a $500-$600 suit for $200-$300. In my opinion there's no reason for a college student to pay $700 for a suit. Save the money and buy a second if you are going to have a job that requires a suit. If not just buy the one. that being said Mr. B's will take care of you very well if you want to go to a men's store.

"95% of all quotes posted on Facebook are either made up or mistakenly attributed to someone famous." - Albert Einstien
If you can go in with a good coupon and find something on a big-time discount rack, you can really get away with a good price. (This is how mine are purchased)
Men's Wearhouse on Valley West Drive has some good selections that aren't terribly overpriced. (Menswearhouse.com) Their website is advertising a summer sale right now, too.
I would recommend staying far away from eBay. Most of those sellers with huge feedback that sell big names at small prices are selling sweat shop-produced knockoffs. They don't fit anything like the real thing and are made of lesser quality materials.
I own 3 suits; a Hugo Boss, Jos A Bank, and a Joseph Abboud. All are excellent suits. You can also spend some money and get a completely custom designed suit from Brooks Brothers if you like. The KEY things you look for in a suit are the style, the fabric, and the way it looks on you. After you find something you like the biggest step to making it work is finding an exceptional tailor. You can have the most expensive suit in the world but if you have a poor tailor you'll look like a slob.
I would recommend buying locally so that you have someone who can fit it for you. You already identified this concern, but I think it is a big one. A $3,000 suit is going to look like crap if it doesn't fit you right.
As far as the prices go, I think you pay more for durability in a lot of cases than you do for looks. If you are just going to use it for interviews then you don't need to spend that much money. My nicest two suits were $300 (local shop in Mankato MN) and $200 (Men's Warehouse). I regularly wear/wore them to work at an attorney's office, court, the capitol, and for my wedding. They still look just as good as any other suits I see out there.
There is a Men's Warehouse in DM just to the west of Valley West Mall. As someone else mentioned, the Dillards in DM is also a good place. If you are a not-so-average size there are often really good clearance deals.

Andys Analysis Baroni Suits - Ask Andy FORUMS
There's a review I found of Baroni suits from that eBay seller. He sums it up as:
I would not begin to compare these suits toOxxford, Brioni, Savile row bespoke, or any bespoke.
If you already own such a high end suit, youre not the market for which these suits were designed. And I think Jeff of the Wizard of Aahs knows that very well.
BUT if youre used to suits from Macys or Mens Warehouse, youre going to love one of these suits plus youll get more value than a typical warehouse or department store suit for about the same price or less.
The Baroni suits are better constructed that the average Warehouse/Department store suit which can sell for between $695-$895 and often offers lesser quality fabric, cheap fused construction and no tailoring details like pick stitching. Some Department store suits dont even offer the faux button holes on the sleeves like the Baroni has!
The secret is, as with any suit, the fit. If youre successful in getting your alterations tailor to fit you well in a Baroni it will look good.
Many jobs require a suit, but if youre not at the highest level of your company or appearing in the Senate or before the supreme court you probably are not going to invest in $3000 suits. Baroni offers the man in this situation a well constructed suit for a good value.
I'd still be leery, but it may be worth a shot. BTW, there's a post at the end of that link from the seller saying he'll give you a deal if you mention that suit review site.
If you are in the Cedar Rapids area Irwins in Marion or Baumans in Mt Vernon are very good locally owned mens clothing stores.
Any college student paying $700 for a suit is an idiot. You can buy a 200-300 dollar suit and look just as good as a high dollar suit.
I have heard really good things about the suits at Penny's... Unfortuantely, I can't buy anything off the rack, 48XLATL so I wouldn't know...

Like a Million Bucks - Esquire
I agree with the other respondants - the fit matters most!
There is nothing wrong with buying a suit off the rack as long as you go have it tailored after the fact. Even if it is only a minor touch up on the tailoring it needs to be done. That to me is the biggest key to a suit, it has to be fit to the individual, the money you spend on the tailoring will be well worth it.

Yesterday was a gorgeous September day and I found myself out in the garden admiring my perennials–my mums have all of a sudden exploded with colour! Some of my plants, however, have gotten quite dense over the summer. A couple of my hostas are so huge a neighbourhood cat was sleeping under one the other day and I didn't even notice until it crawled out and gave me a sleepy "meow."
What to do with my crowded beds? I haven't really had to divide anything until now (except my irises), so I wasn't sure when the best time of year is to do it.
I consulted Anne as I think I'd probably better get a move on if I'm going to divide anything before the first frost. Here is her advice:
- The best time to divide most perennials is in early spring. This will give the plant time to get settled before the summer weather challenges arrive.
- The second best time to divide most perennials is in early fall, when the soil is still warm and plants can get settled before winter arrives. Divide perennials about 6 weeks before the first frost.
- Some considerations to think about; often the soil is too wet to dig in the spring when it is the ideal time to divide. Some experts also suggest that spring and summer blooming perennials should be divided in the fall, and fall blooming perennials divided in the spring. This means you are dividing non-blooming plants, which will have a better chance of survival.
- Exceptions to this rule include bearded iris (August only), columbine (fall only), oriental poppy (early summer after flowering), bleeding heart (early summer after flowering) and peony (late summer).
- Divide plants on a cloudy day. Water them well the day before the move. And water them well after the move.
- Cover them if necessary to reduce wilting.
- Take as much soil as you can lift from around the roots and replant immediately.
- Use a garden fork or garden spade to loosen the soil and dig out the clump. An old, large kitchen knife, sharp garden spade or two garden forks are handy to divide the clump. Save the most vigorous sections of your clump from the outer edges to replant.
This information will find a place in my gardening journal. I also found this article written by Anne on dividing perennials, which I am going to print, along with the information above, for handy reference.

In early spring of 2006, my wife at the time (we are now divorced) got me a lovely gift for our first anniversary, a leather-bound journal. The idea was that we would both write in it, describing the wines we drank together and the circumstances in which we enjoyed them. I hadn't yet begun writing this blog - that happened in October of 2006.
I stumbled upon this leather journal the other day while rummaging around in the closet. There are fewer than 10 entries in it, the book is mostly empty. But the wines are interesting: 2001 Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux, 2002 Breton Bourgueil Perrieres, 2004 Closel Savennieres Clos du Papillon, 2001 Lafarge Volnay, 2004 Baudry Clos Guillot, some Oregon wines. We were drinking good stuff. There is one entry in there about a wine that is different from the others, something older, something we drank on a special occasion.
I remember that I wanted to buy a special wine for our first wedding anniversary dinner. I went into Chambers Street Wines and spoke with David Lillie. After some discussion, I emerged with a bottle of 1986 Chateau Sociando Mallet. I spent something like $80 on the bottle, way more than I had ever before spent on a bottle of wine. David cautioned me to stand the bottle up 3 days or so before opening it, to open it carefully so as not to disturb the sediment, and to decant the bottle if I could. I followed David's advice and we loved the wine with our dinner. I'm not going to reproduce my part of our journal entry on this wine, but here is the first thing I wrote: "This is beautiful wine. I understand now why Bordeaux is so beloved."
Look at that last sentence. I love how exuberant I was, how eager to experience this new pleasure. I can't say that I remember the wine but I'm sure it was very good. Sociando Mallet is a respected estate making high quality wine, but it's not considered to be one of the great wines of Bordeaux. No matter, I didn't understand that then and I was falling in love with wine, details like that would not have reduced my visceral pleasure anyway.
A lot has happened since then. I have two wonderful children, but I am no longer married. I work at a different job and I live in a different place. Many of my friends are different. I have grayer hair, and depending on your eyesight and on the relative humidity of the day, 10 or 15 pounds that I should lose. I have a different set of worries and problems that I deal with on a daily basis, and also a different set of joys. It's a strange road, this life we lead, and as John Sterling, the stalwart radio voice of the New York Yankees likes to say, "You can look at all the statistics you want, and they tell you what this guy did in that situation a thousand times in the past, but they don't tell you what's going to happen right now. You cannot predict baseball."
Holiday season is approaching, the end of the year draws near, and I was thinking the other day about some of the great wines I drank this year. Gentaz Côte-Rôtie, early '80s DRC Grands-Echezeaux, late '80s and early '90s Montrachet, Coliseo, the grand old Amontillado by Valdespino, and more. And that's just the fancy stuff - there were so many more great wines that are easier to locate, and easier on the wallet.
Two weeks ago, before the hurricane, there was Sherryfest. The main event, if you will, was a Grand Tasting held at Liberty Hall in the Ace Hotel. I think it's fair to say that the only human being in the room that day who was not in the least bit surprised was Peter Liem. He knew it would be a grand event, he knew that there would be way more people who wanted to be at the tasting than the space could accommodate, he knew that all of the producers would be there and pull out the great bottles, he knew that everyone would be blown away by the opportunity to speak with all of the producers and to taste all of the amazing wines.
Everyone else was at least a little bit blown away. You could see it on all of the faces - the childlike glee. It was dark in Liberty Hall and I had trouble getting good photos with my mobile phone. I want to share a few images anyway.
Sherryfest, as you know, was the US's largest ever set of tastings and events dedicated to Sherry. It was created, in part, to honor the work of Peter Liem, whose Sherry book was just released. Sherryfest began for me, I am incredibly lucky to say, at The Spotted Pig for a special dinner featuring the wines of Equipo Navazos.
Haven't written anything here in a little while. Partly because I've been very busy. I've been working a lot, and some of that involves travel.
My oldest daughter was born almost six years ago. When my then-wife was approaching the end of the second trimester of her pregnancy, we decided to take a trip to France, to Burgundy. Before leaving I asked David Lillie at Chambers Street if he could recommend any producers we should visit. He generously set us up with Jeanne-Marie de Champs, a Burdgundian who has been in the wine trade for quite some time. She took us to visit several producers, one of whom was Jean Lafouge.
In NYC a lot has changed with Sherry in the past year. Sherry is lovable now, and this is a great thing.
It took me a while to actually buy the beautiful fresh shell beans that appear in the market throughout the summer. I read about how easy they are to work with and how delicious they are, how it's hard to go back to dried beans afterwards. And I was tempted, but really? Would I do all of that work for beans?
Recently I had the rather disturbing realization that almost half of the bottles in my cellar are wrong. They are not wines that today I would bet on to give me the pleasure that I look for in mature wine. There's nothing terrible in there, but there are plenty of wines in which today I would not make the investment of money, cellar space, or time. It got me thinking again about this whole question of aging wine. How should I decide on the wines I want to age?
Let me be clear - I am not asking about which mature wines I want to drink. That's easy, I would say. I want to taste any and all mature wines so I can learn more about what to expect from various young wines as they age. I'm asking about about selecting young wines for the cellar.
Keith Levenberg wrote something interesting about this a little while ago, telling a story about buying 6 bottles of 2001 Bernard Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche, drinking one and not being moved, and then "disposing" of the rest by bringing them to dinners with people who don't care which wine they are drinking. And then he drank a bottle of the same wine but from the 1983 vintage, and was moved. Enough to bring newer vintages of La Chavaroche back into his cellar.
I have never tasted a young version of a classically made and age-worthy wine, and then aged that wine to maturity. I simply have not been collecting wine long enough to do that. I have never tested my own ideas about which wines in time will become what I'm hoping for, and which will not. I don't know if I'm right when I drink a young wine and then think "yes, this wine should age well."
Think about it - you have to have been collecting wine for 25 years if you've tasted a great old bottle of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Barolo, or northern Rhône wine that you bought upon release. It's rare to be in the company of such a person. I only rediscovered wine about 7 years ago. Who knows if I will still care about wine in 25 years? Will I drink my 2007 Bernard Baudry Les Grezeaux with the same delight that I felt in putting it into storage, planning for that day? I'm just guessing every time I put something in my cellar. I'm more educated now with my guesses, but I am still guessing.
I actually feel pretty good about what I put into the cellar these days. Some of this is simply understanding what it is that I like in wine. For example, I cellared almost nothing from the 2009 vintage in Burgundy. 2009 was a ripe vintage that gave big wines and that is not the thing that excites me about Burgundy. I saved a few nice bottles from 2007 and 2008, though. Wines from those vintages tend to have less ripeness and body, but while very young they showed a balance, clarity, and detail that I found compelling. Will that translate to mature wines that are exquisitely balanced, thrillingly detailed, and terroir-expressive? Honestly, I have no idea. I do like the idea, though, of cellaring wines that today show some of the characteristics that I want to be amplified in maturity.
Another thing that I'm enjoying lately is thinking of all of the recent vintages I've had of wines that I actually have built some familiarity with, and trying to decide which recent vintage is the one I would cellar if I had to choose only one vintage. This is not always easy to do.
For example, I've drunk several bottles of Foillard Morgon Côte de Py each vintage since 2006. I was in love with the 2007 and felt that it would age well so I saved a few bottles in the cellar. But then one night a couple years ago I was hanging out with Joe Salamone, one of the wine buyers at Crush, a lovely guy whose thoughts on wine are always smart and well-considered. I asked him what he thought about the 2007 vintage of Foillard Côte de Py, hoping he would confirm my belief. He said that he liked the wine a lot, especially for short term drinking, but that he didn't think the 2007 was a good candidate for long term aging. Hmmm. So maybe my read is wrong on age-worthy Foillard Côte de Py. I've since drunk all of my remaining bottles except for one, and it's true - it is already showing mature notes and it feels completely harmonious. Still, I think I need to see what will happen with another 5 years or so. You know, to confirm or refute my own hypothesis. The 2010 Foillard Morgon Côte de Py, by the way, is the recent vintage that I would now bet on for best future satisfaction.
The other night a generous friend came over for dinner. He told me earlier in the day that he would bring "an interesting Burgundy to try." That works well because I happen to love Burgundy wine. He arrived and produced a bottle of wine by one of the most famous names in the history of Burgundy, in all of wine, I would say.
Jayer Bourgogne was very good. but a lesson in terroir in that it in the end was Bourgogne, perhaps with some villages fruit in there? But it's hard to make a grand cru wine from Bourgogne site, even if you're Jayer I guess.Peter wrote back, and as he tends to do, he said something concise and smart that made me want to write this post. He said:
That bottle is too weighed down by expectations. When it was made it was supposed to be a good, easy-drinking yet high-quality wine, like Lafarge Passetoutgrains or Dugat Bourgogne. Now, though, it's expected to be Jayer.Food for thought.
Amazing that it's happened so quickly, but summer is basically over. The good news is that fall happens fast too, and after Thanksgiving it's just a few winter months, and then it's almost summer again. So yes, it's almost next summer already, and that is exciting.
This time of year I eat tomatoes shamelessly. Tomatoes of all colors, shapes, and sizes, at any time of day, with any combination of foods, and prepared in all sorts of ways. I try to be creative and still, some of my favorite late summer tomato dishes are the classics. Really, I ask you, could you turn down a well-made BLT? Could you refuse a plate of fried green tomatoes? I should think not.
Sherry improves for a few days after opening. I know, this goes against what we've all heard for decades. But it's true, especially if we are talking about quality brown Sherries that are shipped carefully. After hearing about this for a while I experimented a bit in early 2012 and confirmed this idea. Now I routinely open a brown Sherry (Palo Cortado, Amontillado, and Oloroso) several days in advance of the night on which I plan to drink it.
What about other kinds of Sherry - do they also improve over several days? Recently I decided to experiment with a bottle of Sherry that has no official category, but we might call it a Fino-Amontillado. This is a Fino Sherry whose wines are old enough (perhaps 8-12 years) in which the flor has begun to die, and it thins and becomes patchy, no longer fully protecting the wines from oxygen in barrel. The wine begins to take on a darker color and a certain richness that comes with oxidative aging. But although it has some of the characteristics of Amontillado it is not yet Amontillado, and retains much of the brisk Fino style. This style, Fino-Amontillado, is a favorite of many Sherry aficionados, for whatever that's worth, including singer Paula Abdul, the magician Gallagher, and wine writer Peter Liem.
You know how sometimes you eat a wonderful dish or drink a great bottle with friends and although you want to share the joy, you just never seem to work it into a post on your blog? Me too, I know exactly how you feel. Here are some things from the past few months that I haven't managed to write about, but are worth sharing:
So I'm going to reveal to you that back in fall of 2008 I was a Brooklynguy who practiced home-pickling. I found, though, that I was unable to grow a good looking soul patch, or really any facial hair that looks normal. I grew a mustache once as part of a Halloween costume but it freaked people out, they said I looked like a porn star. 86 the mustache, they said, and so I did. So clearly I should not be pickling vegetables at home either. But there was a time when I was doing some pickling. Okra, even.
What's also funny about the post I linked to above is that there is mention of essentially the same okra recipe I'm going to share today. It's the simplest of recipes - the important thing is that you use good ingredients. You are braising okra in a sauce of fresh tomatoes and garlic. And then creating a beautiful weekend breakfast by topping this with a sunny side-up egg. There are variables you can play with here. I like to use a jalapeno pepper in the braising sauce, but you can play with heat, or leave it out. You can use wine in the tomatoes, or not. You can season the braising liquid with anything you like, although I find that with super good ingredients, you don't need much.
Okra is at the markets now, and you should try this - it's delicious and quite healthy:
Wash the okra and trim the stem so that a centimeter or less remains. Put some music on - I think that Coltrane Live in Stockholm works well here, but you can go with Giant Steps too. You can use good canned tomatoes, but 'tis tomato season. I like to use fresh plum tomatoes, but last weekend I used a smaller variety of the same shape called Juliettes. Use good tomatoes - that's what's most important. Chop the tomatoes coarsely. Use a mortar and pestle to make a paste of a very large clove of garlic. In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, using olive oil or neutral oil to your taste, cook the tomatoes until they begin to break down a little, stirring a lot, maybe 5 minutes. Add the garlic paste and some salt. Stir some more.
Add the okra and stir to coat them with the tomato sauce. Here I like to add a fresh jalapeno pepper that I've poked with a fork so that its flavors will easily seep out into the sauce. Stir some more, turn down the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring a few times, until the okra are as tender as you want them to be. You will have something that looks like this (although you can stop the simmer 8 minutes earlier and have firmer okra, also amazing):
I was in Chicago recently and my pal Peter told me to try a Spanish place called Vera.
Wow, glad that I did. There is an exciting Sherry list, the food is
very good, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. The whole
vibe is right - this place is a gem, and if you are in Chicago I highly
recommend that you try it.

Study: Americans give more money to charity than churches
by Michael Gryboski
Newscast Media DURHAM, North Carolina—Americans are increasingly giving more to
charity, but less of that money is going to the church, according to a newly-released
report. An annual research report released Tuesday by the Giving USA Foundation and
the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy found that Americans are
increasing their donations to charities.
For the year 2013, Americans gave approximately $335 billion to charity, which
represented an increase of 3 percent when adjusted for inflation.
However, the percentage of giving to churches declined by 0.2 percent, or 1.6
percent when adjusted for inflation. CONTINUE TO FULL ARTICLE>>

Global Supply Chains May Shift as New Energy Sources Are Discovered
January 21, 2013 - SCMR Editorial
The unconventional oil and gas revolution has dramatically changed the global energy landscape, and in its wake is altering the world's competitive manufacturing and industrial panorama, according to a new report from IHS, a leading source of global information and analytics.
The report, Energy and the New Global Industrial Landscape: A Tectonic Shift, is being released for the World Economic Forum 2013 Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland where IHS is a strategic partner. It looks at the impact of unconventional (shale gas and "tight oil") energy on world energy markets, the automotive and chemical industries as well as on the United States where it is improving manufacturing competitiveness.
While unconventional energy has been "a big boost" for North America, IHS Chief Economist Nariman Behravesh, one of the report's authors, said its impact will also eventually be seen more widely as other countries develop their shale gas and tight oil resources.
"Initially, this has been – and will continue to be – a big boost for North America," Behravesh said. "However, other regions and countries with large shale gas and tight oil deposits can, with time, also participate in this energy revolution and industrial renaissance."
A new study by IHS estimated that in the United States alone, the surge in unconventional oil and gas extraction has led to the creation of 1.7 million jobs and added $62 billion to federal and state coffers in 2012.
The big drop in energy prices has also led to a surge in investment in the United States, posing a risk for Europe and Asia which face migration of manufacturing to North America and the loss of competitiveness, said Behravesh.
The question of whether the unconventional oil and gas revolution will go global is increasingly being asked by companies and governments alike as major opportunities have been identified around the world, according to IHS Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin, also an author of the report.
"Major opportunities are being identified around the world," said Yergin. "Our research indicates that the resource base in China may be larger than in the United States, and we note prospects elsewhere. However, circumstances that promoted this development in the United States differ in important aspects from other parts of the world. It is still very early days and we believe that it will take several years before significant amounts of unconventional oil and gas begin to appear in other regions."
"There is one wild card, however, said Derik Andreoli, Ph.D.c., a senior analyst at Mercator International LLC and Logistics Management's popular Oil & Fuel columnist: Iraqi production.
"After decades of underinvestment under Sadam Hussein, Iraqi production has been booming," he said. "If Iraq continues this performance, surplus oil production capacity could increase, which will be advantageous from the perspective of price volatility."

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Alex Cobb tossed 7 1/3 outstanding
innings to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to a second straight shutout of the
Cleveland Indians with a 6-0 decision at Tropicana Field.
One night after Matt Moore combined with three relievers on a two-hitter, Cobb
(1-0) yielded just four singles and three walks while recording six strikeouts
before exiting after throwing 103 pitches. The young right-hander retired 15
of the final 18 batters he faced.
Counterpart Trevor Bauer (0-1), on the other hand, struggled mightily with his
command in a substitute start for the injured Scott Kazmir. The highly
regarded prospect walked seven hitters -- including six over the first three
innings -- and was reached for three runs over five frames.
Kelly Johnson gave Cobb all the support he needed with a two-run homer off
Bauer in the fourth inning, with James Loney providing some insurance via a
two-RBI double in the eighth.
Loney finished 2-for-4 in the victory.

Well being that a normal minecraft world is infinite thats quite small, and in terms of a custom world you can scale it to any degree you would like, which makes large maps very easy. But, I digress. Back to your post, I'd love to help

|SourceGas files adjustment
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
SourceGas Distribution LLC has filed its annual Gas Cost Adjustment (GCA) with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for its northeastern service area.
The filing reflects a decrease of 4.89 percent in a customer's total annual bill for the upcoming period which begins Nov. 1, 2012 and continues through Oct. 31, 2013.
In accordance with state law, the company recovers the cost it pays to purchase natural gas on behalf of its customers on a dollar-for-dollar basis, without realizing any profit or loss.
The GCA mechanism ensures that customers pay exactly the same amount the company paid to purchase natural gas for them. The new rates, if approved, will take effect Nov. 1 and will be reflected in the next billing cycle.
"Natural gas prices have remained relatively stable, which is one of the reasons natural gas is the fuel of choice for our customers," said Bill Cantrell, president and CEO of SourceGas. "It also continues to be the best energy value for our customers, compared to propane or electricity, with the added benefits of being clean, abundant and domestically produced."
For residential customers in the northeastern service area, the total of the new volumetric rates will be $0.6985 per therm. Based on an average monthly usage of 70 therms, the typical household will now pay an average of about $58.86 per month instead of about $61.89 per month for their natural gas service.
Residential customers who typically use 133 therms in January (when bills are usually the highest) will pay approximately $103.04, a decrease of about $5.77, or approximately 5.3 percent, for their bill in January 2013, compared to January 2012.
Small-business customers who typically use 252 therms in January will pay approximately $180.10, a decrease of about $10.94, or approximately 5.72 percent, for their January 2013 bill, compared to the same period in 2012.
SourceGas is a natural gas local distribution utility headquartered in Golden. SourceGas and its affiliates serve nearly 410,000 customers and operate 17,940 miles of distribution, gathering and transmission pipeline, as well as storage facilities in Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.

Hi guys just installed fedora 13 and had some problems setting up. using 500gb hard drive on Intel i686. Upgraded from f 12 and when loading the new system, partitions could not be setup manually.

All fine after yum update. all seems good so far now!. Have been playing with red-hat for 10 years now and have been waiting for this to be as good as it is now, just as well as was getting sick of windows.Steve!

If you meet the following (mainly Paragon Mass Effect 2) conditions, AND have four bars of Reputation, then you can choose the Paragon (blue) option in the dialogue and resolve the Geth/Quarian conflict peacefully.
Have both Tali and Legion alive from an imported Mass Effect 2 save.
Prevented Tali's Exile in Mass Effect 2
Resolved the Tali/Legion conflict in Mass Effect 2
Completed Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons
Completed Rannoch: Admiral Koris, and saved Admiral Koris
First side with Tali. When Legion pleads with you to reconsider, you will have both a Paragon and Renegade option. Picking Paragon will restore peace between the two sides.
You can also side with Legion first and tell him to upload the code. When Tali says that the quarian will be wiped out, the same Paragon and Renegade options will appear. Pick Paragon for peace.
How can I edit the save so I can meet these conditions? I have read that you can use Gibbed.MassEffect3.SaveEdit to edit ME save files.

Must-Try Burgers
by Julie Besonen, 02/15/2012
Ahi Tuna burger. Courtesy, Umami Burger
Umami Burger
432 Sixth Ave., 212-677-8626, Greenwich Village, Manhattan
Timing is everything at Umami Burger. Cronut-like insanity broke out on opening day (July 29), with the wait stretching to three hours. But hit the restaurant at that sweet spot between lunch and dinner and you may get lucky in as little as 10 minutes. Six-ounce, freshly ground patties are meticulously griddled to medium-rare doneness, and from the blissed-out looks all around, the wait lives up to the hype. This California-based phenomenon has plans to expand, but for right now the attractive, 60-seat Greenwich Village branch is ground zero for the original Umami Burger, a loose but not too crumbly patty with shiitake mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted tomato and a lacy parmesan crisp in a puffy, slightly sweet, toasted bun branded with a "U." The Truffle Burger with roasted garlic aioli is magnificent, the fungus muted so it doesn't outshine the beef. In an Ahi Tuna burger, pickled ginger, wasabi flakes and avocado complement the patty. There are several other burger variations to choose from; the question, "Would you get the same one next time?" elicited the same response from all patrons asked: "I want to try them all."

Any reviews on these units? Thanks all
I have one! It is a very good gps. It does a lot of things. The touch screen is pretty small though. The maps are really clear and it works awesome with a public/private land map. It's small and very light. Make sure you have some sort of screen protector for the screen.
Thanks Jen. Did you get additional maps or does the base map work ok?
The base map it comes with is pretty good too. It gives you a cd to put into your computer and you put the areas that you want onto your gps. It's a very clear map and works awesome! I bought a different map to put on it just because I wanted the public and private land boundaries.
How much is the additional map software?
The map I bought was $99 :)
Well goodness gracious Jen, I've got the same GPS as you!
Overall, I'd say the Dakota 20 is a decent unit. If you've got the budget though, I would get the Oregon 450t or 550t which has terrain already pre-loaded into the unit and also has a bigger screen. Like Jen said, the screen is a bit small on the Dakota 20. Cabelas has them on sale right now for $200 which is a pretty good price.
As far as the mapping goes, for me it is usually a bit off. I live about 100 yards to the north of a major road and the unit would show me being just south of that road. I'd take it with me driving and it would show me being parallel to the road by maybe 100 yards or so. Ive bought 2 chips though from huntinggpsmaps.com and with those, it shows me dead on where I'm at. And with the private/public lands being shown, it works GREAT. Most of the chips are $100 per state and unless you go somewhere that is all public land, I wouldn't go without one. Hope that helps!

To the editor:
The Clean County Coalition of Carteret County is grateful that the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources� Division of Air Quality is scheduling a public hearing on a proposed fumigation facility at the N.C. Port at Morehead City.
In addition to consideration of the handling of this hazardous air pollutant, methyl bromide, we need to have N.C. Ports and state government better communicate with citizens of the host communities regarding possible port business and changes in processes that have the potential for affecting the residents and area users.
We would ask that N.C. DENR review the North Carolina Administrative Code as it relates to methyl bromide for best practices and to substitute a more appropriate and less hazardous chemical if a treatment permit is granted.
As stated in the N.C. DENR Division of Air Quality press release: ��the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies methyl bromide as a hazardous air pollutant, or HAP.�
The Montreal Protocol also lists methyl bromide as a substance that depletes the ozone and calls for alternatives to be used.
Every citizen can play a role in ensuring good air quality for all of our communities.
Richard H. Bierly
Morehead City
Editor�s note: Richard H. Bierly is president of the Clean County Coalition.

CAMERON - As Chad Clutter returns for his fourth season guiding the Cameron boys, he has four players back in the fold that have have him thinking good things may be in store.
''Those four returning players are all capable of double-figures,'' he said. ''They're that strong and that big and if we can get all four of them on the same page we should be looking at 40-50 points a game out of them.''
The Dragons - who open the season Wednesday, Dec. 5 at Clay-Battelle - have 16 players in the program in grades 9-12, but Clutter thinks any number difficulties will be outweighed by the quality of players he has on the roster.
''We're testing the waters trying to put together a supporting cast,'' he said. ''When we find those role players I'm sure they'll have some speed and provide some chaos for defenses.''
Leading the group of returning players is senior Mark Walker.
A 6-foot-2 guard, Walker is entering his fourth season as a starter. Since he's been his coach every year of his prep career, Clutter has enjoyed watching Walker mature.
''He's going to be our leader, that's for sure,'' Clutter said. ''He'll do a good job of (keeping other players) mentally prepared on the floor. He's our hardest worker in practice.''
And, he has the ability to shoot the 3 or take the ball inside.
Hunter Chambers is a 6-3 senior who could be a force down low. This will be is second season as a starter.
''He's gotten a little bit bigger and stronger,'' Clutter said. ''He will definitely be a difficult player to guard in the paint.''
Junior Zach Hall (6-3) - a forward - is back for his second season as a starter after a knee injury forced him to miss most of the second half of last year.
''He's gotten stronger and his speed and athleticism are back and that earned him a starting spot last year,'' Clutter said.
Logan Routt rounds out the returnees. Routt, the sophomore who had an outstanding season quarterbacking Jim Rogers' football team, will be counted on as a major inside presence.
Juniors in the mix are Shane Williams (6-0, guard/forward), Austin Pegg (6-1, forward), Skylar Canas (5-8, guard), Dillon Coulter (5-7, guard) and Joey Yoho (6-0, forward).
Dustin Cook (5-9, guard), Derek Martin (5-8, guard/forward), Clayton Ward (6-1, forward) and Quinton Burge (5-5, guard) comprise the sophomores.
Wyatt Mackey (5-9, forward), Ryan Clutter (5-8, guard) and Cole Clutter (5-8, guard) are the freshmen.
Clutter is assisted by Eric James, Zach Robertson and Tom Hart.
Former assistant Roger Cain is coaching the Dragons girls.
