Age: 36
Professional background: CPA
Education: B.S.E., accounting, St. Mary's College of California
[caption id="attachment_94206" align="alignright" width="210"] Michelle Ausburn[/caption]
Tell us about yourself and your company: I grew up on the Central Coast of California and have lived in the North Bay since 2002. My current practice focuses on assurance services for wineries, vineyards, negociants, food and beverage manufacturers, agriculture, and real estate, both publicly-held and private. If you have to be an auditor, I can't imagine more fun industries to work in.
In 2012, I joined BPM, one of the largest Bay Area based full-service accounting and consulting firms with six offices including Santa Rosa and St. Helena. BPM has the depth and breadth of services equivalent to a national or international firm and is extremely client-service oriented - we refer to our delivery model as "big firm know-how…small firm know-you." It's a strong differentiator for us in the North Bay.
Is there a major accomplishment in the past year or so that you would like to share?: I was involved in a client project outside the normal scope of my day-to-day that was both intellectually and emotionally challenging. We played a crucial role in the project and there were many tight deadlines, which caused tension and stress at times. However, it was also very collaborative and fun, and I really enjoying having the opportunity to work with other professionals throughout the firm and in the industry. Ultimately, it was a great learning experience and very rewarding to see our client succeed, in part as a result of our efforts.
What is the achievement you are most proud of?: Being one of the first in my family to attend (and graduate from) college and following through with my goal of becoming a CPA.

I disconnected the positive battery cable to do some mechanical repairs. When I reconnected the battery, it would not crank; the instrument panel was dead; no turn signal, but emergency flashers and brake lights worked and a chiming sound was heard. I left the battery connected overnight; the next morning the electrical system was completely out as if system wide failure. The car battery is 12.64 volts at present, also tried jumpstart with 12.78 volt booster. The electrical system remained dead.

For years I've had a WindowsXP-32 bits on which was installed a Canon MP210 printer. This printer was shared to be used by the Ubuntu of another computer. In CUPS, the url of the printer was "smb://192.168.0.2/canonMP" and it worked like a charm. As far as I can remember, that's the only thing I had to set to share the printer.
Just this weekend, I've upgraded my gear and replaced my WindowsXP-32 by Windows7-64 and I'm having troubles with printing from Ubuntu.
Since I'm a bit new with Windows7 and 64 bits systems, I'm not sure which direction to investigate. 64 bits drivers for Ubuntu? An other protocol than CIFS? One sure thing is that the firewall of Windows7 isn't responsible: I tried printing a test with the firewall down and it didn't work. I also correctly set the share name of the printer.

The condo exceeded my expectations. The layout provided plenty of space and all the amenities of home. We especially like the wood burning fire place and deck. All of the kitchen appliances where new and that allowed us to cook breakfast every day. For Dinner we ordered take out. We are already planning our second trip…Thanks

"Great condo, great location"
We stayed 5 nights for a New Years ski vacation and loved every minute of it. Our 2 BR unit was clean and beautiful and had a lovely view of the river and a great fireplace.
The location was perfect for skiing as Loon was only 5 minutes away and the other areas were within an hours drive. Would go back again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Except for a couple of spiders, the house was perfect. In a perfect location, easy to find, lovely scenery, peaceful. We were dissapointed that the hot tub by the pool was cold. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and will definitly stay again in the future.

"great place to bring a family"
We loved Deer Park 205 and look forward to staying there again in the future. The deck overlooking the river was a great place to relax and unwind after each day. The whirlpool tub for 2 in the master bath was a huge selling point for us. Also, the sandy beach at Deer Park is a great way to have fun with little kids. It was a vacation we'll never forget!

Deer Park is a wonderful place to stay! This was our second time at 205. We plan on always staying here when we visit the area. The condo has everything that you need for your stay!! We enjoyed our time out on the deck and appreciated all of the furniture. Deer Park 205 is very clean and a nice environment to mak family memories to last a lifetime!!!!

"Nice, but a few rough spots"
Deer Park is an excellent development, but this unit was not one of the best we've stayed in. The heater in the kitchen area made an irritating clicking noise. Also, early on several of us were sneezing, and we suspect someone has had a cat in there. But otherwise the unit is fine, a great view of the river from there.

"Almost there but..."
This condo (Deer Park 205) was wonderful...until we needed to use hot water. All four of the guests experienced a serious shortage of hot water during a bath or shower...most pronounced when trying the hot tub. This lack rendered the hot tub completely worthless.

"Convenient with beautiful views"
Deer Park has lovely grounds and well maintained public areas. Indoor pool area is very clean. Nice tennis courts. Nice man-made lake with lounge chairs. Unit was very comfortable and generally in great shape. I was disappointed that the oven had not been cleaned. I wiped it out and turned on self clean rather than wait for housekeeping to come in. Also, bathrooms were clean but could use an update as they look worn and ratty. Low water pressure throughout the unit. Reservation service people were very nice and brought us a key late at night when we were locked out. It was a little annoying to have to supply your own garbage bags and coffee filters. I'm used to Okemo, VT where the condo provides these things. Overall, though, we would definitely go back.

"It was awesome"
This our first trip as a combined family, so it was my fiance, my son (age 15), my son's little brother (age 4) and myself. So needless to say I was a little nervous, but as soon as we got off the highway and saw the huge mountain view in front of us we knew everything was going to be ok. When we walked into the condo we were so happy to see how clean it was and had that "just like home" feeling to it. Also there was just so many things to do with the kids (all age ranges). We were totally happy with our vacation and are planning an adult trip in the Fall.

"An amazing property with gorgeous views but without hotel conven"
The view of the river from the balcony was stunning. The jacuzzi for two in the master bedroom was a wonderful treat! The property was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Unfortunately, while we didn't expect daily maid service, we were surprised to be given one set of towels for a week's stay. When we asked about it, we were told that we should do the laundry daily, something we found unreasonable, especially when it should be so easy to give some extra sets of towels (and pillows) to bring it up to standard with the rest of the otherwise wonderful property.

"Dream vacation at Deer Park"
This was the ideal base for a 3 day getaway to do some day hikes in the White Mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed the Deer Park complex and the condo met all our expectations. We look forward to coming again during the ski season and hope to stay at the same place.
Monsey, NY
"Better than advertised!"
We were pleasantly surprised to find two new portable air conditioners in the condo.
In July you need them!
The rooms were nicer than the photograph s. The bubling stream, and constant flowing river within 50 feet were great.
Highly recommended.

"It seemed to be..."
It seemed to be a fairly busy time when we were up there, at least at this particular building. Sounds from the above unit, and side units and below units were very audible. If you wanted peace and quiet, this IS NOT the unit I would rent.
The pool seemed to close at a fairly early time, especially for a holiday weekend which was disappointing.

The happily married father of five was before this business doing some modest farming. He was also a student.
David is a hard-working gentleman who looks destined to go far in his business venture. His sales profits are to the tune of 100,000 UGX weekly.
He says with this loan, he is going to buy manure and fertilizers for his banana farming gardens. He anticipates an improvement in his banana yields and at length he reckons he will be able to make more sales profits.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

North Canton is a wonderful place to live. Great schools (both high school and college) Great opportunities and great people. A very safe community, I am a 22 year old female and always feel safe. I came here for college and would stay forever, I really enjoyed living here. Many people take advantage of the great landscape and enjoy running all around town, on nice days the sidewalks are filled with friendly people walking, running,and more. There are plenty of great local activities. More restaurants within 15 minutes then you could imagine. Good mall, and other stores nearby. The only reason I am even concidereing leaving is because of the climate, I would like to live somewhere warmer.[Comment on this Posting]

The church is on record in support of discrimination protections AND YET the
Republicans in the legislature can't bring themselves to vote for it.
This isn't a Mormon thing. It's a bigotry thing. It's about fear of the "other," and our legislature needs to find the moral fiber and become decent, loving, human beings.

When will people realize that guaranteeing rights to an oppressed minority that
the privileged majority routinely enjoys is not giving the minority "special
rights" but is merely guaranteeing them the equal rights that they should
already have? It's not elevating them above, it's lifting them up to
the same level from a hole.
How disappointing that the full legislature will not hear the bill. Kudos to Sen Urquhart for shepherding it this far.

I don't think will be a wise thing to give more rights of what they already have, like all citizens they also enjoy equal rights, what else more they want to have. If the Utah senate pass this bill many of this senators won't be re-elect.

"SB262 would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender
identity in housing and employment practices."
Well we definitely don't want that. We want to be able to refuse housing and/or employment to gays because that is what we've been taught.
"The law would not apply to small businesses, college dormitories, religious organizations or businesses owned by religious organizations."
So it wouldn't affect a majority of the businesses in Utah, but let's not bring it up for a vote anyway.
@The Utah Republican,
Supporters of this bill worked with the LDS church for more than a year but were still not able to get support for an anti-discrimination bill.

Open Minded Mormon,
Don't confuse love for everyone with acceptance of that which is sin.
With that said, unless there is somethiing in this bill that I don't see, I don't see why it would not pass. There is nothing immoral about giving equal housing and employment rights to each and every person. I find it repulsive that there even needs to be a bill for this.

"Don't confuse love for everyone with acceptance of that which is sin."
There's a difference between basic human dignity and acceptance...
"I don't see why it would not pass. There is nothing immoral about giving equal housing and employment rights to each and every person. I find it repulsive that there even needs to be a bill for this."
...and you understand that difference. The thing is many in the legislature do not.

"A lot more than meets the eye" Top 5 Page for this destination Chandigarh by DaDrifter
Chandigarh Travel Guide: 73 reviews and 250 photos
Chandigarh is the dual capital of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. It is located about 250 km from New Delhi, on way to Himachal Pradesh.
I have had a love-hate relationship with this city. I used to find it very dull, boring and somewhat lifeless in my younger days. Today it is one of my favourite cities ... I am not sure whether the city just grew on me or I just got older and started appreciating the finer things in life - like some peace and quite :)
This is the only city in India that gives you a sense of order, a sense of calm - it completely lacks the essential chaos that pervades every aspect of life in India. It is also the youngest city in India, designed by the famous French architect Le Corbusier in the early 50s.
It may not offer much to a traveller in terms of history and culture, but is definitely worth a stop over if you are heading towards the hills of Himachal Pradesh.
There is something about this city that is hard to describe ... I always come back feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after a trip :)
- Pros:Green, pollution free and very organised
- Cons:Not many - can appear lifeless at times :)
- In a nutshell:Fascinating Flora and the hills are just a few minutes drive

Thanks Drifter. Nice Chandigarh info & pics. Very useful info. 5P
I've actually been to this rock garden and that's the only thing I've seen in Chandigarh. Lovely parks you have.
Superb photos of gardens!
What a great idea about turning scrap into sculpture. :-)
Rock garden looks like a fun place:)
A great idea to use the waste products to make the figurines in the garden
Superb again, all the best Cliff
The Catus Garden reminds me of one at the Changi Airport.
Hi Arun, Nice ! I have to go north to Delhi some day, like most of Israelis do. Do you have any new travel's plan?
Lovely pages to whet one's appetitite for this wonderful north Indian city. So was Chandigarh named to honor Mr Nes Chand? Or this is just an interesting coincidence?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Red Cross officials are offering assistance; Midwest City shelter closed
The shelter at Midwest City Community Center was closed Saturday morning because the need for overnight housing had ended, officials said. Anyone who needs help is asked to call (405) 228-9500. The Red Cross also has professional counselors available. Red Cross workers are canvassing areas affected by wildfires this week, handing out food and counseling victims, an agency spokeswoman said. Workers are focusing on food and shelter in the immediate aftermath of the wildfires, said Kyla Campbell, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross of Central Oklahoma. "It has been a long time since we've seen the devastation that we're seeing with this fire," Campbell said. "There are a lot of individuals who've lost their homes." Workers have also been handing out clean-up kits to victims, Campbell said. The typical kit includes items like gloves, a shovel, a bucket and other items. About 30 people stayed overnight at a Red Cross shelter on Thursday; which stayed open through Saturday morning. In the coming days and weeks, the Red Cross will work with victims to take care of long-term needs, she said.

Just eight years ago, Vietnam had 500,000 internet users, but 2008 numbers
indicate the country has more than 20 million users. IDG Ventures
believes there will be 36 million wired users by 2010, with the number only
expected to grow as more villages get internet access.
"We are
trying to create a little Silicon Valley here," said Don Phan, who
left Silicon Valley to create his own tech company in Vietnam. "I
tell my guys they can wear flip-flops and work remotely -- the things we do in
Silicon Valley."
Companies such as Yelp, Craigslist, Facebook and LinkedIn are working in
Vietnam, and more companies are expected to open up offices in Vietnam
later. Yahoo and eBay both have a big presence in the nation, but have
yet to open up their own offices in the country -- but expect to hear about
startup acquisitions or possible Vietnamese headquarters being constructed.
Yahoo remains the most popular site in the country, even though it's a
foreign-based intently. American, Japanese and Taiwanese companies are expected
to continue dumping venture capitalist funds into the growing Vietnam industry.
Canon, Sanyo, Sony, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Matsushita and other Japanese companies
are investing billions into new R&D and manufacturing plants in
Vietnam. A Canon laser printer factory will soon output almost 80 percent
of the company's laser printer units, industry insiders report.
An area of concern is online advertising in the country, which is rather flat
at the moment. Once a proper advertising infrastructure is put into
place, then more online entrepreneurs are going to be willing to roll the dice
and enter the country.
Another area concern is government involvement in the budding industry, as
government officials are still unsure and inexperienced at handling the new
generation of technology. The Vietnamese government has no problem
assisting companies like Intel, but startup companies must wade through an
unorganized bureaucracy that remains unforgiving towards them.
But the government continues to support an open door policy for foreign
companies, and sometimes offers incentives for companies to begin working in
Vietnam. Vietnam's low labor costs and low finished product cost are two
other reasons companies are willing to create new facilities in a country that
still isn't technologically advanced.

The present invention relates generally to a linear drive for a transportation system and, especially, involves a linear drive for an elevator installation.
The elevator car, the counterbalance weight and the doors in an elevator system typically are driven by rotary electric motors. The elevator car and the counterbalance weight are attached to opposite ends of a cable extending over a pulley or sheave driven in rotation by a rotary motor. The elevator doors are attached to belts extending around friction disks driven in rotation by a rotary motor. Linear drives are also used for driving elevator doors. With linear drives or with friction drives, the motor is driving the cable that connects the elevator car and the counterbalance over a return pulley. With the friction wheel drive principle or the linear magnet principle, the cable is connected at the elevator car. All drive types also require independent safety devices in case the drive fails and the elevator car begins to drop. The safety device must brake the elevator car from a certain overspeed and smoothly bring the car to a stop.
A disadvantage of the known equipment is that a complex mechanical system is necessary for the drive and for the safety device with many individual parts. As a consequence of the mechanical complexity, such equipment is expensive to manufacture and maintain, as well as is more likely to break down disturbing the service.
The present invention concerns a remedy to avoid the disadvantages of the known equipment and to manage transportation equipment that functions as a brake and/or a safety device.
The advantages reached through the invention are that a linear drive includes the brake and safety device functions with a few simple mechanical parts. Furthermore, energy savings are possible over conventional drives. Further advantageous is, that the electromagnetic fields generated by the conventional magnet motors are not generated and that the reaction time of the brake and safety device essentially can be shortened.
The above, as well as other advantages of the present invention, will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a travelling car equipped with a linear drive in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the FIG. 1 showing a holding-unit of the linear drive;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the holding-unit shown in the FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of an alternate embodiment of the holding-unit;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion of the holding-unit shown in the FIG. 4;
FIGS. 6.1 through FIG. 6.6 are schematic representations of the operation of the linear drive moving the travelling car in an upward direction; and
FIG. 7.1 through FIG. 7.6 are schematic representations of the operation of the linear drive moving the travelling car in a downward direction.
In the FIG. 1 there is shown a generally vertical travel path 1, along which at least one car 2 is operating as transportation equipment for persons or objects. At an upper end of the car 2 a pair of guides 3 are attached for leading the car along a pair of guide rails 4 extending along opposite sides of the path 1. At a lower end of the car, there is attached a linear drive in accordance with the present invention. The guides 3 also can be below the car 2 and the linear drive can be attached above the car. Also, the guides 3 and the linear drive can be mounted together above and/or below the car 2. Fixedly attached to the car 2 at the lower end thereof is a first platform 5 connected by means of a plurality of springs 6 with a movable second platform 7 positioned below the first platform. Attached to the first platform 5 are a first holding-unit 8 and a second holding-unit 9. Attached to the second platform 7 are a third holding-unit 10 and a fourth holding-unit 11. The holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 each extend on opposite sides of an associated one of the rails 4 as shown in the FIG. 3. Details of the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11, particularly in that portion of the FIG. 1 designated as "A1", are shown in the FIGS. 2 through 5.
The example embodiment shown in the drawings depicts a vertical travel path 1, such as a track or an elevator shaft, along which the car 2 travels. However, the travel path 1 also can extend horizontally or at an incline.
With door drives for elevators, the transportation equipment consists of one "car" moving along a travel path, for example a sled for the transportation of the car doors or the floor doors, that is driven and braked by the linear-drive according to the present invention.
A first operating-unit 12 and a second operating-unit 13 are connected at opposite ends with the fixed first platform 5 and the movable second platform 7. The weight of the second platform 7, the third holding-unit 10 and the fourth holding-unit 11 is compensated for by means of the springs 6, such that the operating-units 12 and 13 remain tension free. In the FIG. 1, the two operating-units 12 and 13 are shown, but only one or more than two could be used. The first operating-unit 12 and the second operating-unit 13 each include at least one piezoelectric actuator 14 and 15. The first and second piezoelectric actuators 14 and 15 can be formed, for example, from a stack of several dozen piezoelectric elements, like crystals or layers of ceramics or polyvinylfluoride, between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied at the electrodes, the piezoelectric elements experience an expansion deformation in the length. The expansion is enough for the movement of the car 2 or the doors. The manner of operation of the linear drive in an upward direction is shown in the FIGS. 6.1 through 6.6 and in a downward direction in the FIGS. 7.1 through 7.6. For example, five parallel column actuators can be used with seven in row for the movement of the car 2. Such an operating-unit generates a quintuple operating strength and a seven-fold longitudinal expansion as well as speed of the car 2 as a single actuator with same switch-frequency.
For drives requiring the generation of significant force, for example an elevator car drive, the piezoelectric elements become actuators below their own resonance frequency, driven for example with a 500 Hz signal.
The FIGS. 2 and 3 show the construction of the first and third holding-units 8 and 10. The second and fourth holding-unit 9 and 11 are identical in the construction and in the function. The first holding-unit 8 extends from one side of the first platform 5 and includes a first brake caliper 17 pivotally mounted on a first axle 16. The third holding-unit 10 extends from one side of the second platform 7 and includes a third brake caliper 19 pivotally mounted on a third axle 18. The remaining construction and the function of the third holding-unit 10 is identical with the first holding-unit 8. A first arm 20 and a second arm 21, of the first brake caliper 17 rotate about the first axle 16 and carry a first brake lining 22 and a second brake lining to 23, respectively, which brake linings can be rotated into engagement with opposite sides of the guide rail 4 to generate a braking force.
Opposite ends of a second spring 24 are connected to the arms 20 and 21 to draw the arms 20 and 21 toward one another and engage the brake linings 22 and 23 with the guide rail 4 providing a frictional holding connection between the guide rail and the first platform 5. The other ends of the arms 20 and 21 are connected by a third piezoelectric actuator 25. Excitation of the piezoelectric actuator 25 extends it. The force generated by the third actuator 25 overcomes the second spring 24 and moves the brake linings 22 and 23 out of engagement with the guide rail 4 consequently releasing the first platform 5 for movement relative along the guide rail.
For example, six actuators can be switched in parallel. Such a holding-unit generates sextuple the force of a holding-unit with a single actuator.
There is shown in the FIG. 4 a variation or alternate embodiment of the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the FIG. 5 shows a section along the line A--A of the FIG. 4. The holding-unit includes a fourth actuator 26 and a fifth actuator 27 that apply a braking force by engaging a third brake lining 28 and a fourth brake lining 29, respectively, against the guide rail 4. A third, fourth, fifth and sixth springs 30, 31, 32 and 33 are connected between the brake linings and the brake caliper 17 to hold the brake linings out of engagement with the guide rail 4 when the actuators 26 and 27 are not extended.
The holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 serves not only to drive the car 2 but also as safety devices. Under normal operation, the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 are also used with a holding-brake for avoiding a dropping motion when loading the car 2. In emergencies, for example with overspeed of the car 2, the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 are actuated as brakes as well as are catch-devices. The braking and safety functions show a redundancy of two, because two holding-units 8 and 9 are necessary to avoid overspeed and to smoothly stop the car 2, the remaining two holding-units 10 and 11 function as safety devices.
Sensors and a control oversee the operation of the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the operating-units 12 and 13. For example, with the longitudinal expansion of the operating-units 12 and 13 and the holding-units units 8, 9, 10 and 11, the pressure on the guide rail 4 can be measured by the sensors. The sensor signals are processed by the control. In the FIGS. 6.1 through 6.6 and the FIGS. 7.1 through 7.6, the sequence of operation of the actuators is shown with the energized actuators cross-hatched, When the sensors detect the proper actuators energized, the control then generates the necessary signals to energize the actuators in accordance with the next working step. For example, in the FIG. 6.2, the actuators of the operating-units 12 and 13 are energized after the engagement pressure at the brake linings 22 and 23 or 28 and 29 is sensed and read by the control.
The FIGS. 6.1 through FIG. 6.6 show the operation of the linear drive to effect an upward direction of movement of the car 2. As shown in the FIG. 6.1, the third holding-unit 10 and the fourth holding-unit 11 are actuated to engage the guide rails 4 and support the car 2. The FIG. 6.2 shows the upward movement of the car 2 with energization of the actuators 14 and 15 of the operating-units 12 and 13. Through the longitudinal expansion of the piezoelectric actuators 14 and 15, the car 2 is pushed upwardly. In accordance with the FIG. 6.3, the car 2 is also supported by the actuation of the first holding-unit 8 and the second holding-unit 9. In the FIG. 6.4, the third holding-unit 10 and the fourth holding-unit 11 are disengaged from the guide rail 4. In the FIG. 6.5, the operating-units 12 and 13 are deactivated resulting in the second platform 7 being pulled up. The FIG. 6.6 shows all of the holding-units 8, 9, 10 and 11 actuated and engaging the guide rails 4.
The FIGS. 7.1 through FIG. 7.6 show the operation of the linear drive in a downward direction of travel. The linear drive works analogously to the upward direction in the downward direction.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, the present invention has been described in what is considered to represent its preferred embodiment. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope.

ST. LOUIS -- C.J. Wilson entered the postseason brimming with hope and promise after a second consecutive workhorse regular season, this time as the Texas Rangers' No. 1 starter. He again logged more than 200 innings, won a career-best 16 games and lowered his ERA to 2.94 with a strong finishing kick.
However, to elevate to ace status he would have to earn such a distinction with a stellar postseason. That didn't happen. Wilson was winless in five postseason starts, unable to last longer than six innings in any one start, and his ERA ballooned to 5.79.
His final appearance of 2011, and perhaps of his Rangers career, was as stunning as his postseason slippage. On in relief in the fifth inning of Friday night's Game 7 with the bases loaded and two out, Wilson hit Rafael Furcal on the backside with his first pitch to allow St. Louis' fifth run to walk home for a 5-2 lead in the eventual 6-2 defeat.
Wilson's attention now turns to his future as an unrestricted free agent. Will he return to the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2001 draft? General manager Jon Daniels and CEO Nolan Ryan both commented during this postseason that Wilson will be highly valued on the open market. Will his price tag reach a level that the Rangers are unwilling to entertain?
Here is Wilson, after Game 7 of the World Series, in his own words:
How much will playing on a team that reached the World Series in consecutive seasons affect your decision?
Wilson: I have no idea until things are actually presented to me. I don't know how much of a factor that will be. You play to win. I mean, bottom line is you play to win as a baseball player. You want to be putting yourself in a good position or a better position than you were in previously. I have no idea what's going to happen. [Assistant general manager]Thad Levine and Jon Daniels and Nolan Ryan know what they think. I don't know what they think, so that's obviously a big component of how it's going to go.
How do you feel about the Rangers organization?
Wilson: The baseball angle here is very strong. Obviously, we're a good organization. We've proven we can win. We have guys on the team coming back. We have a lot of pieces that I think are complementary to me and vice-versa, so in that regard, that kind of speaks for itself. I like it here in that sense. They've treated me with a lot of respect the last two years as a starting pitcher and they've given me a chance to improve, given me a chance to solidify my role on the team as well as around the league as a premium starter. I feel like a lot of my success is because of the team that I've been playing on.
Do you have a sense of how things will progress?
Wilson: It's foreign to me. I don't know how it's going to work. I don't know if I'm going to get a text message saying, 'X-amount of years; are you in or out?' I have no clue. I don't know if someone is going to be like, 'we're going to get you your own blimp; no matter how bad traffic is we will blimp your butt to the field.' I literally don't have any idea what's out there.
Do you look forward to the free-agency process?
Wilson: I don't really know what that means other than saying that I have no attachments other than to the fact that I want to be a winning baseball player. Everybody's negotiations go differently.
How do you feel you represented yourself in the postseason?
Wilson: I feel like I pitched pretty well in the World Series and I hope that rinses out the bad taste people had in their mouth from the bad inning I had in Detroit and the bad game I had against Tampa. I feel like I made some good adjustments and got some help from some people to make those adjustments. The only thing I'm concerned with, personally, is, 'what can I do to be a better baseball player next year?' That's the only thing that I'm concerned with because I did everything I could do. I couldn't have won any more games, there's nothing I could have done.

Summer is here. I was reminded of this in full force when I nearly passed out while mountain biking during a 92-degree afternoon at the beginning of the week. Yikes! We need to drink a lot! And, while water is of utmost importance, sometimes it's nice to drink things that aren't just plain water, too. Salt and electrolytes are important when we're sweating a lot, and besides ... who doesn't want to change up the flavor occasionally?

Beef Farmers Have a Steak in Middle East's Revolutions
Byline: Paul Kelly Consumer Affairs Editor
THE drama of the Arab Spring is helping to bring a boom to the economy here, thanks to our beef producers.
As the economies of Egypt, Tunisia and war-racked Libya recover, cattle farmers are expecting a huge increase in demand.
Michael Doran, livestock chairman of the Irish Farmers' Association, said the Government was working on an agreement with the Egyptians to export beef there.
He added that there are agreements already in place with Turkey and Morocco. 'Oil prices are up and Middle Eastern countries have massive amounts of revenue to buy food so we are seeing demand start to come from there,' he said.
European producers benefited as they are closer to the Middle East countries so they have lower transport costs than rival farmers in Australia and South America.
The good news for the industry comes at a time when consumers here are enjoying lower prices for Irish quality beef - even though the costs in the European markets are at their highest in 30 years, due to shortages.
Farmers are getting between [euro]2.50 and [euro]3 per kg on wholesale markets as a result of the popularity of Irish beef in Britain, Europe and China. The IFA said farms were getting only [euro]1.50 to [euro]1.70 per kg of beef three years ago.
Mr Doran said wholesale prices had gone up because there were shortages of beef at a time of rising demand in Europe and beyond. …

Onion Jam and Goat Cheese Crostini Recipe
Perfectly Seasonal: Onion Jam and Goat Cheese Crostini
In my attempt to cook with more peak-season produce, I left the farmers market this week with a giant canvas tote full of Spring onions, young alliums with a tender texture and a milder flavor. And in my search to find something to make with them, I managed to discover the holy grail of appetizers.
Onions, fresh goat cheese, and baguette don't sound like much, but trust me, the sum is greater than its parts. The key is to slow-simmer the Spring onions in a zesty agrodolce sauce, until they've developed a deep caramel flavor and reduced to a thick jam. Spread it on top of crunchy crostini with creamy chèvre, and the rest is guaranteed to be history. For a crowd-pleasing vegetarian appetizer, you'll want to read more.
Spring Onion Jam and Goat Cheese Toasts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
9 bulb Spring onions or 4 sweet onions, very thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 baguette, thinly sliced
1 round or log (5 to 6 ounces) fresh creamy goat cheese, at room temperature
- In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the onions and plenty of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the onions start to soften.
- Add the lemon rind and juice, sugar, and vinegar. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring often, for 45 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Meanwhile, toast the bread until golden. Spread each round with goat cheese.
- Taste the onion mixture for seasoning and add pepper and more salt, if you like. Let the onion mixture sit for 20 minutes or until it is no longer very hot. Spoon some onto each of the toasts and sprinkle with more pepper.
Serves 8 as an appetizer.
