|I had to call the owner to get permission to get there...
They were very nice but I heard that everything is changed now...They don't want people going there at any dates...
We parked at the front gate near the road... and walked all the way to the top...Just as we got to the summit, we saw a car full with 4 or 5 people driving by us and going to the top...
Come on, they could have walked for a change... the HP was close enough!!

|Made the LONG drive out there from NJ! 970 miles. One way. That's crazy. Glad it's over and done with. Not much to say. It's only open 4 weekends a year. So had to make a crazy trip to notch this on my highpoint belt.

|Since the Illinois highpoint is only open 4 weekends per year we decided to drive down and climb it. 495 miles round trip. When we got to the gate there were several cars there and we met many friendly highpointers on the trail and at the summit and traded HP experiences. Lovely day and a nice view of the corn and soybean fields of Northern Illinois. HP #16.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews.Rating: Most comfortable ask I have ever owned!
in this months sports diver they advertise this as a mask for small female faces which I am...however in this write-up they specify medium to large face...which is correct and do you have have any other recommendations for small female faces.... larger masks leak for me.
This mask has an average sized skirt and fits most all average adult faces, hence the medium to larger face rating. Since there is really no set sizing pattern for a mask as there are with other items we wear the best rule of thumb will always be the trial and error method of placing the mask to your face with the strap not on your head but around the front of the mask. Inhale through your nose to create suction and hold your breath. If it sticks to your face for a few seconds, it fits! Since every face has different features and is differently shaped what fits one individual won't necessarily fit another even if their body dimensions are the same. That all being said, the XS Scuba Fusion 2 Jr. mask is a great choice for anybody with a smaller face. Jr. does not indicate a child's mask but indicates it is a smaller version of their very successful Fusion 2 Window mask.
I bought the Mares liquid skin last year. It fogged unbelievably. I tried the toothpaste, defogger, dish soap and nothing worked. Ruined my entire dive trip. Any suggestions? Headed to go diving again in March. Have never had this happen with any other mask.
Toothpaste is usually the best cleaner. Try scrubbing the inside lens thoroughly again then rub defog solution on the lens and let it dry before washing it out. A good quality defog solution should be used. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-54/028007/500psi-Mask-Defog.html

• Tricomfort technology
• Wide range of colours
The X-vu LiquidSkin is the third 2-window mask using LiquidSkin technology after the X-vision and Star. Beyond the natural comfort provided by LiquidSkin skirt, an additional soft silicone part is injected in the nose area acting like an anti-shock bumper. Also available in three colours.

Product Features
Liquidskin: The most important innovation since the introduction of silicone masks. Patented Technology. The exclusive Bi-Silicone technology uses two different types of silicone: a firmer portion for support structure and a softer portion for contact with your face. It is 45% softer for unparalleled comfort and 270% more elastic for a perfect fit.
Optional Optical Lenses: Mares offers corrective lenses for most models. In addition to the negative diopters (-1 to -7), for some models also positive diopters are available (+1.5 to +3). Mares design makes it quick and easy to install lenses.
Sunrise: The Sunrise masks are dedicated to the Asian market and wider faces because of the special geometry of the skirt.
Tri-Comfort: Small horizontal ribs between the frame and the skirt in the area around the nose. These ribs absorb and redistribute the pressure exerted by the frame onto the skirt, with a resulting increase in comfort.

I'm trying to setup a test server to test out the ZCB connector.
Win 2k3 R2 SP2. 3 gigs of ram.
Outlook 2007 SP3 Installed.
Before I install ZCB, when I go into Control Panel > Mail, it starts up fine. Then when I install ZCB, it installs but when it prompts to configure the BES profile, it fails. It says the credentials given t ocreate the default profile are invalid.
At this point, when I go into Control Panel > Mail, it says the system needs more memory or system resources. It keeps saying this until I uninstall ZCB throught the control panel. If I uninstall from the ZCB installer, I then need to run the Outlook repair to fix the problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
(I'm currently using a trial Network edition copy but we're in the process of buying the full version).

Man charged with shooting into occupied vehicle
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 11:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 11:47 a.m.
A man accused of firing several shots at another man after an argument was arrested Wednesday and charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The victim told Deputy J. Fuller that he and a man -- later identified as Kenneth Joseph Palma -- had a verbal altercation in the Walmart parking lot in the 11100 block of Southwest State Road 200. He said he left the lot and the man followed him. He said he drove into a subdivision in an attempt to lose the man, who continued following him, according to reports.
At one point during the pursuit, the victim said, the man fired several shots at him, with one of the bullets hitting the right rear of his truck. He said he drove out of the subdivision and went into a private driveway and called for help.
A sheriff's deputy caught up to Palma, 48, at a dead-end street on Southwest 105th Street. Deputies recovered two handguns not far from where Palma was stopped.
The victim identified Palma as the man who shot at him, but Palma denied the allegations, reports note.
Palma was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail, where he is being held in lieu of $20,000 bond.

Love this ball
By Rainebow

Feel good about this ball because it doesnt hve the same bounce as a tennis ball so it is easier to keep track of. It also squeaks so one knows when the dog has it. It is a denser ball!

Tazman love kong!
By Dev4evr

Love the ball! What's not to like?!!! Taz loves it!...but then he loves most toys! :D Taz loves to tease you with it. He does not like to "have" to drop it...but he will on command! I don't always make that command though, 'cause he'll run around like the madman he is trying to keep that ball away from you!!! Growling & waggin' his tail the whole time! But! I have to say...he'll do the same thing with a stick too! lol We have fun with it! That's the greatest thing about it!
love the sqeaks!
By Boulder dog lover
from Boulder, CO
My dog loves a good squeaky toy, and when she finally learned to swim, she would ONLY dive in the water for these, and she will now swim as long as she can for them! If I accidentally throw a non-squeaky ball into the water, she won't bring it back, and continues to be distrusting of the next few throws. I buy several at a time and keep one at home and one in the car for impromptu play sessions. She's not very tough on tennis balls, so they last a long time for us.

the Shih Tzu's top toy
By Baxter
from Rehoboth, Delaware
My Shih Tzu loves these balls. He thinks he is a retriever and plays( with me throwing them) for several hours a day. They usually end up in my bed...as he always takes a toy to bed..and of course his bed is mine ! The only draw back is the squeaker, as that part comes out of the ball too soon.
Best Ball Ever!!!
By Chris
from Spokane, WA
Besides my husband and I, my dog loves these balls more than anything in the world. My papillon begins each day playing with her ball and brings it to bed with her at night! Squeakers don't fall out, however dogs will pull it out after playing for a while. They continue to play whether it squeaks or not. My dog isn't interested in any other brand, only these will do!

Fun Squeak - only lasts a little while
By BigDog
My dog loves these squeaker balls, but I agree with other reviewers in that the squeaker only last for a day or two of play before it stops squeaking and my dog looses interest. I wish these balls were a little more durable.

Another dugout canoe used for fishing in Baia de Camamu.
Tue Mar 23 9:30:00 EDT 2010, Baia de Camamu, Bahia, Brazil
Baia de Camamu is a shallow bay 65 miles south of Salvador. Fishing in the well-protected waters is mostly done from dugout canoes like this one.
I've been impressed by how well-used these dugouts are...seems most places I go I see some dugouts being used
Mon Mar 22 10:00:00 EDT 2010, Itaparica, Bahia, Brazil
For a hot place (like most of Brazil), these boxes seem a lot cooler way of moving stuff than using a backpack. I haven't tried it myself, though.
George, George and Yann, thanks for your comments.
I've been mostly working on the boat and relaxing in Itaparica. Del flew in from Rio to join me for the short sail south to the remote town of Camamu (more on this next entry), and then the sail north.
Fri Mar 12 0:00:00 EST 2010, Salvador, Brazil
I arrived in Salvador Tuesday, and have concentrated on sleeping instead of blogging, so am late with the blog entry :).
Provisioning in Itaparica is adequate.
In Salvador itself, the new, expensive Bahia Marina is an option (they have space), but many people have been mugged on the street outside it, and they strongly advise always taking taxis. You can either anchor or dock at Centro Nautico, in a somewhat better area of the city. I've heard good things about Ribeira Marina, farther in than Centro Nautico, but I'm not entirely sure of the location.
In Salvador, there is the huge Salvador Market, an experience unto itself. You can get pretty much any food there...if you want chicken, you can buy one live or have it killed in front of you. Not much refrigerated stuff there, but lots of dried and salted meats that don't need refrigeration.
Salvador also has Mercado Rodriguez, near the Salvador Market, which is a big store, selling big quantities of stuff, something l
How do you view the remaining portion of the coast of Brazil up to the corner where the winds (ITZ excepted) and the currents will be more favorable for your destination of Carrib and North America? Are the winds north of Salavador much more favorable?
As for the ITZ, what is your expected strategy?
Any thoughts of Amazon? I seem to recall that March-April was high water floods and lots of rain, but I'm not sure about that.
- George
I imagine your trip against the wind, with the rather high temperature, ...
you probably feel happy to be anchoring
Mon Mar 8 6:30:00 EST 2010
I've been beating (sailing) dead to windward for three days now (this means sailing a zig-zag course against the wind, covering a much greater distance than you would if the wind was with you) in Force 4-6. While it enjoyable for the first few hours, after a couple of days it's about as exciting as watching paint dry (but less comfortable). The more wind, the bouncier the ride, the more waves across the deck, the more humid it gets below with all the ports closed.
When one of the frequent squalls (temporary high winds) hit and changed the wind so it was no longer coming right from where I wanted to go, it was great! Even if the favorable wind direction was only for many hours, it was great while I had it. I am sailing in the strong breezes that are north of the area where the gale I'd mentioned avoiding was.
Last night, just after midnight, another squall, a Force 8 one this time, changed the wind direction back to straight ahead. You can't get much rest when there are squalls about, as every time one hits you have to either reduce sail, or be ready to, so you pretty much need to be on deck or in the doghouse (shelter where the door to the cabin is on this boat). After the wind changed to no longer be favorable, I set the boat to fore-reach (sail very slowly) with a triple-reefed mainsail and the storm jib, and slept until the squalls stopped. While fore-reaching, the boat went away from the destination by several miles, but it was worth it, as it is much easier to deal with sailhandling when rested and when the wind is more constant.
Sat Mar 6 19:30:00 EST 2010
The weather system with the rain stayed with me another day, then I slowly moved north of it and saw the occasional bit of sun.
I considered stopping in Abrolhos, but it looked like the coming gale was going to be centered around there, and if I got north fast enough, I would just get strong winds instead of the gale. The latest forecast I have indicates there is now a low over Abrolhos, and it is developing to a gale. I'm pushing to get north, doing a lot of sail changes as it is quite squally (sudden bursts of strong winds) now.
Thu Mar 4 9:30:00 EST 2010
This is how sunny it was many days ago. I'm still in the weather system that has much rain. I thought I'd be out of it today, but it seems to be expanding...I'm on the fringes of it now, so it only rains 30% of the time. It's warm, tropical rain, so not unpleasant to be outside in.
I'm not sure how visible it is from the map on the right, but I'm on the Abrolhos Bank now, an area of shallow water including the Arquipelago dos Abrolos. My original plan was to stay far enough east to be in deep water passing this area. A disadvantage of being in the shallow water near the coast is that there are far more fishing boats to avoid. A few days ago, the forecast for March 7 indicated a north gale coming. Forecasts that far away are not accurate, but I decided I wanted to be in a position to go somewhere for shelter if there was a gale on March 7. So I headed closer to shore, where there are a few places one can seek shelter from north winds. As of yesterday's forecast, it looks like it will be a strong breeze (not a gale) from the NW and N on March 8, so I may just keep sailing.
some people live there to protect the park and are very kind
and open your eyes (abrolhos means abra os olhos = open your eyes), many shallow waters
Wed Mar 3 8:30:00 EST 2010
It's been a few days since I've seen the sun. Persistent overcast skies and rain with gusty winds have been the conditions the last few days. Towards sunset yesterday, breaks in the clouds started to appear. The weather forecast indicates that I'm in a Q-STNR. I'm not sure what a Q-STNR is, other than some stationary system with a lot of rain (I think O-STNR would be an occluded stationary front).
I've had basically favorable winds for the last several days, which has been great. Wind speeds and, to a lesser extent, direction have changed often while in this weather system. The first night in this system the winds were varying back and forth between Force 4 and 8, making for a lot of sail changes. The winds have lightened and continue to lighten, and are expected to become calm soon.
For the northbound passage that I am doing, the start is expected to be the most difficult part, when winds are variable (but usually against you) and the current is always against you, and there are few places available to sit out gales (which are also more common south). The farther north, the more consistent the winds get, as one gets into the trade winds. That said, of course, it all depends on the weather you actually get, not on what can be considered likely. So far, it's been easier the farther north I've gotten.
Mon Mar 1 15:30:00 EST 2010
I'm away from the continental shelf, in 3000 metres of water, have seen very few birds (which live on fish) and hadn't expected there to be any fish. But I saw a couple of fish jump yesterday, so put out the fishing line. A few hours later this bluefish (I think it is a bluefish, despite the color) offered itself up for dinner.
such a nice dolphin fish! some reach 1.8 meters, but it would be much more than you can haul on the boat
Sun Feb 28 9:30:00 EST 2010
Sailing to windward in a pleasant breeze a hundred miles offshore. Ship just visible to the left.

House leader calls for VA benefits chief to resign
Story by
Aaron Glantz, Center for Investigative Reporting
Concerned about broken promises of assistance for the nation's veterans, Rep. Jeff Miller, chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, called today for the head of the agency's benefits administration to resign.
Allison Hickey, the VA's undersecretary for benefits, is scheduled to testify before Miller's committee on Wednesday morning about the chronic delays encountered by veterans awaiting disability benefits. In a Capitol Hill interview with the Center for Investigative Reporting this morning, Miller cited a lack of transparency, lengthening delays and a number of veterans disability claims that the VA projects will soon pass 1 million as reasons Hickey should step down.
"I don't think she's equipped to handle the problems that exist out there," Miller said. "I think she is overwhelmed, and I would call for a replacement."
The call for Hickey's resignation falls during a week of remembrance in Washington, marking the 10-year anniversary of the Iraq War.
In a statement, VA spokesman Joshua Taylor said the agency agreed that "too many veterans are waiting too long for their benefits," but said that Hickey would stay on to implement an "aggressive plan to fix the backlog."
Miller's comments came a week after CIR revealed the number of veterans waiting more than a year for their disability claims had increased by more than 2,000 percent under President Barack Obama – from 11,000 in 2009 to 245,000 in December.
The report was based on internal VA documents that have not been provided to Congress – or the public. The documents also showed that veterans filing their first claim, including those returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan, wait more than 315 days on average. In major metropolitan areas, those veterans are waiting nearly two years for an answer.
By 2015, Taylor said, virtually no veterans will wait more than four months for their benefits – a promise the VA has continued to make even as trends slid in the opposite direction.
Veterans advocates cast doubt on the sincerity of that vow, a concern one group of veterans is planning to bring directly to the White House on Wednesday. Dozens of members of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America in Washington this week will ask members of Congress to sign a petition demanding Obama create a presidential commission charged with eliminating the backlog.
Some advocates said they would welcome a change at the top of the VA benefits administration.
"When you have a company, any company, that doesn't perform, you fire the CEO," said Shad Meshad, a former Vietnam War combat medic and head of the National Veterans Foundation, based in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles office, which serves veterans from Bakersfield and San Luis Obispo to the Orange County line, is among the urban claims centers with the worst track record. The VA's internal documents show the average wait time for veterans filing their first claim there is 619 days.
Since 2009, the year that Obama took office, the number of Los Angeles-area veterans waiting more than a year for their benefits has increased from 156 to nearly 14,000, the documents show.
"We tell veterans don't shoot yourself, don't shoot your wife, just stick with it and we'll see what we can do while you wait two years for your benefits," Meshad said of the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans he counsels. "The system sucks."
Miller said he would be presenting his own documents at Wednesday's hearing, showing that VA worker productivity has declined each year during the Obama presidency. He said he would ask Hickey about the declining productivity and ask her to consider firing poorly performing managers.

Where is aid for village's flood zone?
(Page 2 of 2)
If they did not believe those homes and the families were faced with high risk, one would have expected them not to vote for the approval and implementation of the new flood-zone maps. It is now time for Senator Schumer and elected officials of the village to either protect the affected citizens by securing infrastructure improvements and perhaps even flood insurance subsidies, or to arrange for the removal of the flood zone residents in Valley Stream from the designation.
I own a home and live in the high-risk flood zone located in Gibson. I expect my elected officials to secure monies from the state and federal government for aid such as that being planned for Mill Brook and North Woodmere. I am anxiously awaiting an announcement from the mayor that he is not going to stop working until Gibson has the improvements we need to cope with the high-risk designation that he and all of the trustees voted to support.
Residents who are registered voters should monitor this situation closely. You should only vote for incumbents who produce concrete assistance for residents of the high risk flood zone.

Marat Safin played what will most likely be his last match at Roland Garros and, in typical style, made it one to remember.
The 2-time Grand Slammer went down two sets, grabbed the next two and battled to the brink against homeboy Josselin Ouanna ultimately falling in an epic 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), 4-6, 3-6, 10-8 thriller. The towering Russian had saved 2 match points, hit 86 winners and 19 aces total in the match and still lost. Ugh. Joss will next face 12th seed Fernando Gonzalez for a spot in the Round of 16.
Well, gotta give it up for the Frenchie - it was a tremendous win especially under the pressure of playing in Paris against the legendary Russian in what would be his final match at Roland Garros. And for the Marat fans out there, we still have two more majors to go. Try not to be too sad. Yet.
*BIG sigh*
UPDATE: Here's some of what Marat had to say about his last moments. Classic.
Well, as you can see, I didn't draw the heart, and I didn't lay down and I didn't cry and I didn't all those things ... it's not me.
(It's) a terrible way to finish with the French Open but anyway ... it's okay. It's not so sad. (It) doesn't get me emotional.
His best memory?
Well, hopefully I can forget this match, for sure.
My best memory was too far away in history. Nothing really great to write about for the last five years.

With all the commotion on top of the hill, our time was quiet and peaceful. Of course, these two objects are always a pleasure to go back to. This time was no exception.
The sketch period reminded me of the thing that keeps people from trying sketching: they say or fear they cannot do it. The next day I did a sketching presentation. The way we do it is sort of down-home so everyone acts like a child: NO FEAR. So by the end of the lesson, they had all tried a sketch of a projected astro photo of M45...complete with nebulosity. Nearly all othe them (old, young, experienced, or new) did just fine. The whole thing reminds me again in our teaching: don't take "I cannot do it" for an answer. Rather, give them a few key principles, act as if everyone can do it without a ruffle, and march on. The beauty of the heavens just waits for new observers to discover the wonders of the creation.

Ha all,
I just installed zimbra on a FC4 system everything went ok until my system could not handle the unicode_start, that was mentioned in the FC4 install cheat-sheet post. I think there could have been an issue with my hosts file and not listing my FQDN and my inability to properly set up my DNS prior to the initial install.
The system zimbra is installed on is not the best so im sure that contributed to the crashing of the installation when unicode_start eat up all of the resources. Which left me with a an empty localconfig.xml file. Everytime I try and run the install.sh and do a reload unicode_start consumes all of the resources and eventually crashes the system.
Thanks for the help.

HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press
HENNIKER, N.H. (AP) — You've probably heard of beer-battered fish and beer-can chicken. But how about beer-fed turkey?
Joe Morette of Henniker, N.H., is raising about 50 Thanksgiving turkeys this year.
He's been feeding his birds beer since 1993, when a turkey knocked over a can left near its fence and started drinking.
The way Morette sees it, beer bellies aren't just a human phenomenon, and he insists the beer makes birds fatter, more flavorful and juicier.
He prefers to feed them lagers over light beer, but takes what he can get.
Carl Majewski with UNH Cooperative Extension says the beer doesn't hurt the birds, and probably does affect their size and flavor to some degree. But juiciness is more a matter of how you cook the birds, not what they drink.

Stuver's saves help Hammerheads earn a draw
Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2014 at 11:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 3, 2014 at 11:31 p.m.
Brad Stuver doesn't seem to mind playing the league leaders.
Photo Galleries
A week after making seven saves in a 3-1 win against Orlando last week, Stuver stopped eight shots – many in key situations – to help Wilmington Hammerheads FC preserve a 0-0 draw against the USL Pro regular season champions Wednesday and inch closer to a playoff berth.
"Brad's on another planet right now," Hammerheads technical director Carson Porter said. "The way that he's playing, the confidence he gives all our guys. The sky is the limit for him."
The Hammers (8-7-11, 35 points) need one point in their final two matches to clinch a playoff berth. Orlando (18-4-5, 59 points) clinched the regular season championship with the result.
Although the Hammers dominated possession for most of the night, Orlando had more shots. Whenever Orlando sprung a counterattack, its players were ready to shoot.
"It made it easier because they were breaking with two to three guys instead of four or five," Stuver said. "And they were taking shots from farther out, so it gave me more time to react."
Stuver had a handful of close saves, though. He denied Adama Mbengue in the 16th and 30th minutes on low shots after rare Hammers defensive lapses. In the 69th minute, Stuver stopped three shots in a row after Orlando had substituted forwards Cobi Span and Dennis Chin from the bench.
The most important save of the night came in the 90th minute when Brian Ackley stumbled while fighting an Orlando player for the ball in the Hammers' box. Stuver deflected a point-blank shot far enough wide that nobody could get a rebound on it.
"My teammates have been playing well all game, so I'm just trying to do my job and keep the ball out of the back of the net," Stuver said. "I think the guys are getting comfortable with me, and I'm getting comfortable with them. Right now I think we're clicking on all cylinders."
"With Orlando needing only a point to clinch the regular season title, the game was drastically different than last week's 3-1 Hammerheads win. Orlando was more content to let the Hammers possess the ball, and Orlando brought fewer men on the counter.
"We obviously changed the way we played, and it worked really well," Orlando coach Adrian Heath said. "We were not in trouble for most of the evening, and we had three or four opportunities. The game plan worked really, but overall I am very pleased we got a point."
The Hammers took the possession but couldn't muster much in the final third. Still, they finished their final homestand with five points in three matches against Orlando and second place Sacramento, and all they need is a draw in their final two matches to get into the postseason.

The latest research carried out at Beaucastel's kitchens is on Perrin's Cairanne « La Peyre Blanche ». Cairanne's terroir is made up of Clay and limestone. The clay brings substance to the wine whereas the limestone brings freshness. Our Chef chose to cook a pigeon as the dense texture of this bird blends perfectly with the fleshiness of the wine. The pigeon is covered in bay leaves and then cooked in white clay from Cairanne. This takes the wine back to its origins; the South!

François Chartier a renowned journalist and Sommelier wrote this on www.Cyberpress.ca website on the 29 October 2008 : "If you are a fan of roast lamb, then you should try this. Stuff the leg a shoulder of lamb with pureed black olives and serve it with the surprising blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre of the famous La Vieille Ferme Côtes du Ventoux Rouge 2006. It is hard to miss this one even in a vintage like 2006. Less complexity and less deepness than the 2005, this wine is aromatic, juicy with strong tannins that will disappear if you decide to serve it with a meat served with Olives." …and we liked it! The match with black olives is obvious and gives the wine a sensation of intense red fruit. A real pleasure! At Beaucastel's kitchens, we tried a roasted farmed chicken with garlic, the match works but the olives were missing! Soon these two recipes will be online.

We have just harvested our small parcel of pré-phylloxérique Grenache (old vine) in Gigondas....
Harvest is progressing and most of our appellations have now been harvested: Cairanne, Vacqueyras, Gigondas, Châteauneuf du Pape... Only Vinsobres which is 20 km north of Châteauneuf du Pape is left to be harvested. As the vineyard is situated at 300 metres altitude, the maturity of the grapes is much later in this terroir. Also Syrah, a northern varietal, does really well growing at this altitude. In Gigondas we finished harvest last week with the Grenache from le "Clos" at the Domaine des Tourelles, our new property. Although it is too early to say, this plot seems to produce some Grenache with extreme finesse - keep an eye out for this one! Once again, the Mistral has played an important role this year especially at the beginning of the month of September when it dried out the crop after the storms. Cool nights and sunny days have allowed us to pick good quality grapes in 2008 although yields remain low. And now the work in the cellar can begin where we shall put all our efforts to ensure each wine expresses the best of the terroir. Technorati Tags: beaucastel, rhône, terroir, vinification
The good weather is still with us despite some cooler temperatures. Most of the Châteauneuf du Pape Syrah is now in tanks. Today we picked some of the early ripened Grenache at Beaucastel and our plot just under the castle of Châteauneuf that we use for the Perrin & Fils Les Sinards. We are continuing harvest in Cairanne and we have finally started harvest in Vacqueyras by picking some Syrah. Despite a busy week, we will be harvesting this weekend! . Technorati Tags: terroir, vinification
As every day, the first thing we do in the morning, is check the over night evolution of the fermentations in each tank. This photo shows us checking one of the Syrah fermenters that was harvested last week. The reading at 7.15 this morning was a density of 1020 and a temperature of 24°C. The weather forecast for the next few days is still excellent which makes us think that we shouldn't hurry. Today we are harvesting the Clairette and the Grenache noir from the Coudoulet. At Perrin & Fils, we have decided to send a small team to pick the Grenache for our Perrin & Fils Les Sinards, AOC Châteauneuf du Pape while another team will go to Cairanne to pick the Syrah. See the photo of the beautiful village of Cairanne.
We start a new week of harvest with beautiful forecast as you can see... Today we continue to pick few Syrahs at Beauacstel started last week for our Chateauneuf du Pape. In the same time an other team go to the North in Vacqueyras to harvest some Syrahs for our Perrin & Fils "les Christins". See below a nice map of our Crus in the South of Rhône to understand the geographical aspect of the harvest. We usually start South to North following the ripeness and the differences of temperatures. Vinsobres which is completely on the North is normally the last Crus that we pick...
2008 started off badly. We had a lot of rain during the summer and even at the beginning of September. Mildiou was controlled but we were worried that we would get more rain but then the Mistral started to blow on the 11th September. It was a very strong Mistral and it blew for 5 days with an average of 35-40km/hr and gusts of 80km/hr. This kind of weather that makes winemakers happy but drives holidaymakers crazy dried out the ground and the grapes very quickly and saved the first week of the harvest, see detail bellow. It is too soon to come to any kind of conclusion on the vintage but if the weather remains stable we shall be producing some lovely wines. The yields will be low due to the wet weather we had at the moment of the flowering of some of the varietals. Monday Sept. 15th The mistral blew all weekend and is still strong today. Temperatures are falling : 14°C in the morning : 21°C in the afternoon These are ideal temperatures for harvesting the whites and the reds before fermentation We started at 8am today with a small team of harvesters: - Syrah from Coudoulet - Grenache from Laudun (North East of Châteauneuf du Pape) for our Perrin Réserve, AOC Côtes du Rhône Tuesday Sept. 16th The Mistral is still blowing! and the temperatures are identical to yesterday. - We finished harvesting the Syrah from Coudoulet - We then followed the day with the Old Vines of Roussanne (3 hectares) and some slightly younger ones for our traditionnal Château de Beaucastel White. - Finally we ended the day harvesting the small plot that we farm next to the Castle in Châteauneuf du Pape. These grapes are used in Les Sinards blanc, Perrin & Fils, AOC Châteauneuf du Pape. Wednesday Sept.17 The intensity of the Mistral has reduced. We decided to harvest part of the Grenache from Coudoulet that has matured Thursday Sept. 18 Today the wind has stopped, the sky is cloudy but it's not raining. The temperatures are seasonal with 23°C in the afternoon We decided first thing this morning to finish the plots of Château de Beaucastel White: Grenache blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Picardan and the younger Roussanne. We also started harvesting the Syrah at Beaucastel for the Châteauneuf du Pape.

Raku Sushi finds success with tradition
"Is a raw tuna pizza on a tortilla something that really needs to exist?" This was the one and only note I took during my first lunch at Raku Sushi & Lounge in St. Louis Park's ever-growing West End. Though I'd originally scribbled it on the back of a voided check, I later tweeted it for posterity and got a response from fellow food writer Stephanie March with a link to a video of legendary chef Masaharu Morimoto demonstrating how to make his signature tuna pizza, one of the most enduringly popular dishes at both his Philadelphia and New York City restaurants. Others got in on the tuna pizza conversation, noting that Morimoto's iconic dish "cannot and should not be replicated." I quickly fell down an internet rabbit hole about its many incarnations, leading me to amend my original note to: "Does THIS tuna pizza need to exist?" This thickly layered mess of mushy textures, much too much bland guacamole, and raw tuna shellacked with sauce that somehow makes the whole thing look like a tanned jellyfish? No, is my conclusion. And though I experienced some far more enjoyable dishes at this stylish sushi joint, the tuna pizza aptly embodied my main issues with much of the food at Raku. Though many of the traditional flavors and oft-used components were present, I just never found enough of the freshness and lightness and unexpected "yums" I generally associate with Japanese cuisine.
Now, it's not that I'm holding this two-location (also in Edina) operation to the standards of an Iron Chef's empire. I doubt very much that the chefs at Raku would compare this dish to Morimoto's iconic creation. And though it's part of their written mission to blend "traditional Japanese fare with Italian, French, and other Asian influences," I found the evidence of those culinary styles to be mostly in name only. The most successful food at Raku was, in fact, the straightforward, traditional Japanese stuff: Textbook tempura, a light and lovely take on nabe yaki udon (a noodle soup with chicken, egg, vegetables, and savory broth), and an impressive range of sushi and sashimi. Where it fumbled was with the more overwrought fusion dishes, like the aforementioned tuna pizza, the quivering and gelatinous lobster bisque, and the heavy-handed duck spring roll. And as much as I loved the idea of adding manila clams to miso, the clams themselves were gritty and muddied the flavor of the dish, which was served only with a ceramic soup spoon — not an ideal utensil for coaxing clams from their shells — and no discard bowl for the empties.
Highlighting the positive, one of my favorite parts of my dinner experience was the zensai. It was described as "Japanese vegetarian antipasto," giving it a supposed Italian flair, but really it's a gorgeous variety of Japanese pickles and some diced cold tofu with a delicate sesame sauce. I could identify cucumbers, preserved with a floral, brightly acidic heat, and some sort of fibrous root that was meaty, sweet, and a little leathery, but the other unique bites were a mystery. "Can you tell me what all these things are, exactly?" I asked our server. "They're all different pickles," she told me. "Right, but pickled ... what?" She stopped two other employees to help try to figure out what I was eating, and no one could give me a straight answer. If I was a vegetarian, had dietary issues, or was generally more argumentative, this would have been a major concern. As it was, it didn't inspire a lot of confidence, and it's problematic at a restaurant where the cuisine is, by and large, still somewhat foreign territory to most customers.
Despite a few more service snafus (appetizers arrived basically alongside our main dishes, and we waited nearly 10 minutes between the delivery of my dining companion's entree and my own specialty roll), some of the non-sushi items that came to our table were also well received. The crispy dried beef had great depth, and the shreds of meat were delightfully chewy underneath their fried exterior. The tart bitterness of yuzu works brilliantly with any fish, but it was particularly noteworthy in the grilled Chilean sea bass, served with thick udon noodles and a bonito broth I am pretty sure helped to shorten the length and dull the intensity of my impending head cold. But who goes to a sushi lounge in search of a hot, fully cooked entree? You go to a sushi place when you're on a mission for raw. And if you're eating entirely raw, you'll be pleased to see that Raku does a pretty ingenious roll called the Naruto, made with crab, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, and caviar wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber, a welcome textural element to this rice-free roll. The more traditional rice-and-nori rolls we sampled ranged from excellent (the White Russian with tempura sweet potato, white tuna, and black caviar) to just tolerable (the Sun Kiss, made with nicely broiled eel but rolled up with far too much rice and topped with hard, tasteless, unripe mango).
The time to try Raku might be happy hour, when the full bar is in full swing and the sushi is half price. If you're lucky enough to snag one of the neon-lit sunken seats in the front of the restaurant, it would be a fun way to enjoy the view and make for a more fittingly relaxed and nibbly atmosphere. If food comes in waves while you're enjoying cocktails with a friend, you may not mind as much as you would if the same thing happened at an intimate dinner. And if you're just out shopping or in the mood for pre-movie sushi, Raku is certainly preferable to your other options in the immediate area, none of which have the selection that Raku offers. You won't see surf clam, horse mackerel, or even uni on the menu at nearby Crave.
Time can heal a lot of wounds, and some of the food missteps at Raku could be corrected by just waiting until certain ingredients are in season, but if I find $100 burning a hole in my pocket in the near future, I'd still rather spend it at Origami, Fuji Ya, or Masu. Or, you know, toward paying down my student loan or something.

Be sure to catch the St. Louis Rams Tailgate Show every Sunday at 10:30 a.m on KSDK NewsChannel 5.
By Ben Doughty, FantasySharks.com, Staff Writer
Arizona Cardinals (vs Saint Louis Rams)
QB Ryan Lindley: It appears he will be the starter this week. If that's the case even Fitzgerald becomes bench material. ( 140 yds pass and 2 Ints; 15 yds rush )
RB Beanie Wells: He says he is ready to go but look for the Rams to stack the box and make Lindley beat them. ( 45 yds rush and 1 TD; 2 catches for 15 yds )
RB LaRod Stephens-Howling: LSH had his shot but will be relegated to back up duties once more even after a stellar performance last week. ( 10 yds rush )
WR Larry Fitzgerald: Just when it seemed it couldn't get worse for Fitzgerald the Cardinals find a way to top themselves. ( 3 catches for 35 yds )
WR Andre Roberts: He isn't going to get many looks this week with what should be a very conservative game-plan. ( 3 catches for 50 yds )
WR Michael Floyd: He probably benefits the most with the change at quarterback. He is better suited for the short underneath routes. ( 2 catches for 25 yds )
TE Robert Housler: He didn't see a target last week and will only see a couple this week. Forget about him. ( 1 catch for 15 yds )
PK Jay Feely: Interesting play here as the Cardinal defense wins the battle of field position providing scoring chances. ( 1 XP, 3 FGs )
Def Arizona Cardinals: This defense is playing very well and will benefit from being at home. ( 3 sacks, 1 INT )
Saint Louis Rams (vs Arizona Cardinals)
QB Sam Bradford: He'll be asked to be a game manager with the recently found success in the running game. ( 215 yds pass with 1 TD and 1 Int )
RB Steven Jackson: He has been playing like his old self and will have no problems continuing that on the road against a divisional opponent. ( 70 yds rush and 1 TD; 2 catches for 25 yds )
RB Daryl Richardson: He will see carries to spell Jackson but not enough to consider him for your lineup. ( 20 yds rush )
WR Danny Amendola: Listed as doubtful now for week 12.
WR Chris Givens: He's been quiet but he beat the Cardinals deep earlier this year and will do it again. ( 5 catches for 85 yds and 1 TD )
WR Brandon Gibson: He is one of the weeks hot waiver claims after his two touchdown performance but don't be fooled into starting him this week. ( 5 catches for 80 yds )
WR Austin Pettis: Only seeing time with the liklihood of Amendola being sidelined. ( 3 catches for 30 yds )

Daniel Woods Repeats Bridge of Ashes (V15)
Daniel Woods has made a very quick repeat of Dave Graham's recent V15, Bridge of Ashes. In fact, Woods managed to send the problem in just one session.
"I was lucky enough to have freak conditions," wrote Woods on 8a.nu. "There was a very cold, dry wind blowing....snow flurries... and just the right amount of moisture to stick perfectly to the grips."
Of course some speculation of the problem's grade has now begun due to Woods' extremely fast success. For example, Jamie Emerson of B3bouldering wrote, "To make matters even more interesting Daniel Woods made the second ascent yesterday in a day. No word yet on his assessment of the line (either it's quality or difficulty), but his recent failure on Lucid Dreaming (albeit a ridiculously short trip) suggests it maybe easier."
The post refers to Woods' latest excursion to Bishop where he aimed to repeat Paul Robinson's Lucid Dreaming (V15/ though originally graded V16). Woods was unable to repeat the problem, though he was only able to spend three days trying the line. The fact that Woods was able to repeat Graham's problem so quickly in comparison to his recent attempts at Lucid Dreaming has led to the speculation that Bridge of Ashes might not stand at V15. However, it is also worth noting that Woods has climbed V15 on his first try in 2011, flashing the famous Fred Nicole problem Entlinge in Murgtal, Switzerland. But after his flash ascent,Woods mentioned that Entlinge fit him perfectly, and suggested a personal grade of V14.
Woods had this to say about Bridge of Ashes on 8a.nu: "Though it went in a session, this boulder is hard. It is powerful, finicky, and requires precision. The rock will eat your tips very quickly. A true CO test piece, and for me the 2nd hardest problem in the state."

1981 Dodge Shortbed Crew Cab - Low-CrewzerWritten by on October 24, 2006 Rarest Of The Rare
It's the same old story with a different twist. If you own an old Ford or Chevy pickup and want to customize it, dropping in a little more horsepower or just flat whacking its stopping distance in half is really not such a big deal. All you have to do is check out the latest offerings from one of the aftermarket parts manufacturers advertised in your favorite custom classic truck magazine and break out the old checkbook.
For a Mopar fanatic like Mark Mittelstaedt of Kernersville, North Carolina, and his '81 Dodge shortbed Crew Cab, life isn't quite all that simple. You see, Mark likes his trucks on the customized side, with an extra large helping of horsepower thrown in. Unfortunately, there just are not enough guys building Dodge trucks for aftermarket companies to justify manufacturing Dodge specialty parts when there's such high demand for Ford and Chevy stuff.
This is where Mark's profession as a test engineer for Volvo's big truck division comes in handy. Mark is in charge of developing new technology for Volvo trucks. So when the time came for him to blow his pickup all the way down to the bare frame and reinvent it as a cross between a new Ford Harley-Davidson and a '69 Dodge Charger R/T, things weren't going to be quite as tough as they might be for the average vintage truck guy. Since he has the ability to take on just about anything he can get his hands on, Mark figured the '81 Dodge Crew Cab would be an interesting build. If you're having a hard time remembering the last time you saw a Dodge Crew Cab shortbed, don't feel bad-they're pretty rare.
Mark's Dodge was originally ordered from the factory by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, then put out to pasture after they ran the wheels off of it. Mark discovered it sitting in a field, acquired it for $200, and hauled it home. When Mark's wife and kids first got a look at the bright yellow beast, they called it the "banana truck." Already on shaky ground with his wife regarding his sanity after buying the '81, Mark pushed things completely to the limit when he located a nice '93 Dodge Club Cab for $4,000 and proceeded to disassemble it into a million pieces. The average person would probably agree Mark had absolutely lost his mind. But for someone in the know, the '93 Club Cab was an absolute goldmine, providing Mark's '81 with a proverbial crapper full of great goodies such as a 5.9 Magnum motor, a five-speed stick tranny, and a 91/4-inch Sure Grip differential with 3.55:1 gears bringing up the rear.
For the amenities in life, Mark transplanted the air conditioning, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, and '93 dashboard to enjoy its deluxe array of gauges and miraculous gadgets. Like a Plains Indian gutting a buffalo, not one item went to waste. Everything from the donor '93 was put to good use, including the fuel system, suspension, brakes, and steering. Interestingly enough, the only parts Mark reused from the '81's original carcass were the frame, cab, rear doors, fenders, and hood. From start to almost finish (Mark says he still has some things he wants to do to the Dodge), the process of building his truck utilizing his own labor took almost five years.
Once Mark dialed in the chassis using a clever assortment of aftermarket parts intended for other trucks-including modified Belltech rear shackles for a Chevrolet pickup and custom-fabricated front hangers-it was time to get down to the custom bodywork. Trick mechanical parts aren't available for '81-93 Dodges, and the same holds true for custom body parts, so Mark located a replacement tailgate, grafted a Dodge Dakota tailgate latch, and modified it to fit. Mark reinstalled the '81 rear bumper beneath the transplanted Dakota tailgate after he whacked it into a custom rear roll pan of sorts. Up front, Mark customized the Crew Cab's looks by whacking the front bumper into a roll pan and tracking down a brand-new grille intended for Mexican Dodges.
With all the major customizing work done, including shaving all four door handles, Mark's next move was to repaint his truck. Since the base color for Mark's Dodge is the same pure black used on such Mopar greats as the '70 340 Duster and Hemi 'Cuda, Mark made sure the bodywork on his pickup was dead straight. Even with everything guide-coated and block-sanded, Mark made three separate trips to the spray booth until he was satisfied his truck was ready for graphics. Again, the obvious color choice for Mark was a selection from a Chrysler Corporation color chart. Mark used "Go-Mango" to cast his Moparesque graphics.
Although the inspiration for Mark's interior was a '05 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 Super-Crew with four black leather bucket seats with front and rear consoles, Mark once again sourced replacement parts from a Chrysler Corporation vehicle. The four bucket seats that fit so nicely into place (after a bunch of extra work, Mark told us) were robbed from a Dodge minivan with a quad-back and recovered with black leather upholstery kits from Katzkin.
As is often the case with the trucks we feature in Custom Classic Trucks, the photographs of Mark's Dodge really don't do it justice. It's kind of like listening to live music or viewing an oil painting in person-it's just a lot better that way. On the other hand, since you can't take live music or a rare oil painting with you to the restroom or the dentist's office, it looks like a magazine is still king. CCT

Mark wanted to make sure Ron at Madden Auto Body in Jamestown, New York, as well as Jim Frank at West End Auto Parts in Youngsville, Pennsylvania, were given credit for all their help. Ditto for Bryon Ramsey, David Tilley, and Joe Odom at Volvo Truck.Replacing the stock '81 dashboard with a '93 provided a deluxe quadrant of gauges and more synthetic wood veneer than three Radio Shack CB radios put together.The pistol-grip shifter in Mark's '81 represents $300 that didn't get applied toward a new washer and dryer "we really needed. Thanks, Rhonda." (That's Mark's wife.)Thanks to a '93 Dodge 5.9 (360 cubic inches) Magnum motor backed up with an NV 4500 5-speed gearbox and a set of 3.55:1 rearend gears, Mark's Crew Cab gets on down the road.20-inch wheels from Boss Motorsports shod with 275/45/20 Goodyear tires in the front and 285/50/20 in the rear provide a hot-rod stance and a whole bunch of bite.

We're currently evaluating Zimbra for a Professional Network Edition deployment and while we're being constantly impressed with the suite as a whole we've found some extremely annoying factors in Zimbra Desktop.
First, the dock icon, omg it's hideous, just hideous. There's artifact anti-aliasing around the edges, no gradients, and boring.
Second, the installer. The Zimbra Desktop installer wants to install Zimbra to three places, a; ~/zimbra(main application) b; ~/Desktop/Zimbra Desktop.app and c; /Applications/Zimbra Desktop.app. Try installing Zimbra Desktop while using PHD. It constantly alerts you with permission errors about not being able to put .app in /Applications. Also, since Zimbra Desktop is designed to be installed on a per user basis (as opposed to per machine) non-priviledged users must run the installer, which results in the aforementioned problem.
Third, Zimbra Desktop paths. Why oh why is the application located in the root of the users home directory???!?!?!?! This makes life so hard for us Mac administrators!!! Here is the output of Zimbra Desktop.app->MacOS->zdesktop (note this example is in the root account)
That's it?exec /var/root/zimbra/zdesktop/./macos/prism/Prism.app/Contents/MacOS/prism -webapp /var/root/zimbra/zdesktop/./zdesktop.webapp -profile /var/root/zimbra/zdesktop/./profile
Why can't the application be in /Applications and the user's store be located in the home directory. Or better yet, in ~/Library where it belongs. Now, I know that there is a plist that needs to be installed in each user's LaunchAgents folder so perhaps a small shell script could initiate a new user on a computer that already has the main Zimbra Desktop installed.
Having the whole zimbra desktop in the home folder makes phd run a LOT slower. It adds almost 5 mins just for checking the filesystem contents, and for those of us who like to have a simple clean home directory it makes getting out of the office harder when it comes time to sync.
This is just my two cents. And for the record, as I've already said, we are BLOWN AWAY with how amazing the Zimbra experience has been. Keep up the great work. I'm going to try and pull the Zimbra Desktop application apart so that it's more "Mac" like

Black Jockey Eyes Top Prize at Kentucky Derby
Kevin Krigger always wanted to be a jockey.
He rode the arm of the sofa at his home when he was tiny, later graduating to a horse he was gifted by his grandmother. By the time he was a teenager, he had won his first race at the Randall James Racetrack in his hometown of St. Croix. His heart was set and his ambition clear: he wanted to join the ranks of the great Black jockeys who once dominated the sport of horse racing.
Krigger has realized his dream, racing in California and even taking the top spot April 6 at the Santa Anita Derby, the first Black jockey to win there since horse racing began there 78 years ago. On May 4, Krigger, 29, will be in the saddle steering Goldencents, a thoroughbred with a good shot at taking the title at the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. If he is successful, he will join the ranks of the great Black jockeys who once dominated horse racing.
The last time a Black jockey won the Kentucky Derby was 1902, when Jimmy Winkfield crossed the finish line first atop Alan-a-Dale; he also rode the winner in 1901. He would become only the second Black man to ride in the race since 1921. The first was Marlon St. Julien, who jockeyed Curule to a seventh-place finish in 2000. According to the Associated Press, Krigger keeps a picture of Winkfield in his locker.
The scarcity of Black jockeys in horse racing today contrasts sharply with the numbers who used to participate in the sport. In the first Kentucky Derby, run in 1875, 13 out of 15 of the jockeys were African American and 15 of the first 28 jockeys who won the derby were Black, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Many of the Black jockeys who rode in the contest in the early days also cared for the horses. Some were former slaves, according to historical accounts.
For his part, Krigger has told reporters that he is anxious to win at Churchill Downs as a rider, not necessary as an African American.
Back in St. Croix, his success is stirring national pride, according to news accounts. A parade is scheduled to celebrate the participation of Krigger and fellow Virgin Islander jockeys.
Krigger, who is engaged and has four children, will be cheered on by dozens of loved ones on May 4 as he attempts to join the ranks of the greats who came before him.
