Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Reviews
Wine & Spirits Magazine, December 2013
"94 points: Best Buy, One of Year's Best Cabernet Sauvignons"
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Grown at an elevation of 1,800 feet in weathered volcanic soils this wine comes off dry-farmed vines that were planted in the early 1970s. They produced a magnificent 2007, a cabernet in motion, changing and shifting from red scents of strawberries to black fruit (dark plum-skin tannins) and nectarine-like freshness. Aged in new American white oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered, the wine has a coolness that belies its power, feigning an airy openness, the bass note of tannins held to a quiet rumble. Compelling to drink now, this has the stature to age for a decade or more.
Snooth, December 2013
"It is the golden age of Napa Cabernet in a bottle."
2007 Cabernet SauvignonSmith Madrone makes, for my money, one of the few collectable Cabernets from Napa worth the tariff. It's a bit of a throwback wine, rustic some might call it. It doesn't hide its slight herbaceousness, nor does it come with pre -softened tannins. What it does deliver is a lively, earthy, focused mouthful of Cabernet fruit that needs a few years to round out into form but then evolves in classic form for two decades. It is the golden age of Napa Cabernet in a bottle.

"90 Points"
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Good red-ruby. Complex, scented, oaky nose combines redcurrant, black raspberry, mocha, cocoa powder, iron and licorice. Supple, smooth and nicely delineated, with sound, well-integrated acidity energizing the flavors of redcurrant, mint and herbs.

"93 points: Cellar Selection"
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
One of the last 2007s to be released, and it's still nowhere near ready to
drink. It's bone dry, but it's also elegant. Complex flavors of
blackberries, black currants, green olives, anise and cedar abound. It
demonstrates the balance of the 2007 vintage and the ageability of Spring
Mountain wines. Cellar this for 8-10 years and it won't be surprising if
this still shows well at the age of 20.

Medium purply-garnet...pure fruit on nose, perfect degree of ripeness. Gorgeous mixture of Cabernet green and plummy fruit on the palate. Touch of licorice... the tertiary flavors will develop beautifully in this wine.

"...good stuff..."
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark and brooding on the nose, with blackberries, cassis, toasted oak and hints of sweet mocha. The heavily toasted oak bursts onto the scene early and stands its ground until the finish. Luckily there's a good dose of blackberries and plum fruit, which is powerful enough to tame the oak just a bit. Violet, soil and tobacco leaf flavors become vibrant with just 15 minutes of air, and more and more so over the course of a few hours. That sweet mocha flavor lingers long onto the finish. Good stuff.

" 92 points: one of top 10 Napa Cabs "
Chosen as one of 10 Napa Valley Cabernets under $50:
92 points: A little earthy, a little leafy and mineral-accented gorgeous blackcurrant fruit greets the nose capped with hints of mocha and lightly roasted coffee. This is tight, lean, and focused on the palate delivering pure, rich, ripe yet totally transparent fruit supported by wonderfully ripe tannins that poke through just a hint on the finish, showing a slight little stern and dry note before it ends with beautiful cut red plum fruit and subtle soil tones on the finale.

Chris Kassel's Intoxicology Report
"...not a wine for the faint of heart..."
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Grown at the very top of the mountain and on the steepest slopes, this is not a wine for the faint of heart. Nearly black in color, the nose is extracted and condensed with scents of warm berry cobbler, cassis, cedar, smoke and yes--Smith Brothers' Cherry Cough Drops. It had to be said." The mouthfeel is lovely-silken smooth, with a nice nip of tannin; there are layers of black currant, fresh tobacco, pie spice and a solid earthen core and a long, luxuriant finish." A worthy wine for the cellar.

Distinctive and very elegant
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Inky garnet in the glass this wine smells of black cherry, cassis, and woodsmoke. In the mouth the wine has a dark tobacco and espresso flavors that underlie a deep black cherry and cassis core of fruit that broods stormily on a bed of velvety tannins. Distinctive and very elegant, while at the same time possessing something of a raw, ragged savageness that is quite appealing. The scent of new (American in this case) oak, whose presence is felt more than tasted in the wine, lingers through the finish. Contains 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. December 8, 2012

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
For what started as a hobby, the Los Angeles-born Smith brothers have achieved great success in crafting unique small-production wines from their Spring Mountain estate vineyards'the experience is rustic and replete with old-Napa charmÑand thatÕs what makes it so wonderfulÉWith lower alcohol, the Smiths design their wines for longevity. I found the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon very approachable, with blue and black fruit aromas and a velvety mouthfeel. October 2012

Smith-Madrone on Spring Mountain sells stellar Cabernet Sauvignon….
Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon
Mountain Cabs from Napa Valley are different. They tend to be more structured with firm, fruity tannins that give them real aging potential, leading to greater complexity in the wine over time….A friend has collected Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignons from Spring Mountain from the mid 1980's on. Occasionally, he'll bring an old Smith-Madrone to one of our blind tastings. Without fail, they come across as great Bordeaux from a very good vintage. If you are looking for world class Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa with real character at somewhat "affordable" prices, head for the hills… Smith-Madrone on Spring Mountain sells stellar Cabernet Sauvignon….

"…Sophisticated and elegant…"
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
One is struck first by its earthiness, and minerality, which punctuate the dark fruit tastes, especially black currant and black cherry. The fruit is accented by fennel seed, unsweetened chocolate and leather notes and is supported by a good deal of acidity.

"…old school mountain Cabernet Sauvignon…"
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Smith Madrone is completely old school mountain Cabernet Sauvignon with burly brawny savory flavors, black fruit and massive structure. The bouquet is stacked like bricks and mortar- cassis, slate, plum, lavender and cherry. On the palate the savory leathery cedar shows around tight fruit. Firm round tannin and touches of mineral on the finish. The stuffing is there. Good length.

"…A rich but not over-ripe artisan Cabernet…"
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
This mountain Cabernet continues to come into its own. The opening act is a nose of dark cherry, chocolate with hints of tobacco box. A rich but not over-ripe artisan Cab, it will fill the palate with flavors of dark cherry, dark fruit, chocolate and spice with subtle tobacco and leather notes. Very well-integrated and balanced tannins. [Full post]

"Old Time Spring Mountain Cab"
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Old time Spring Mountain Cabernet. Notes of plum, cassis, minerals, some briar, mint and herbs. Palate is fresh and focused, deep, a little racy, with more minerals and black fruit. Very good balance and the tannic edge integrates front to back. Fine, long finish. The wine cries out for a grilled lamb chop and will benefit from cellar time. I wish more modern cabs from Spring Mountain expressed their place of origin this well.

"One of the very best Cabernets from Napa Valley regardless of price point"
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of fresh black fruits such as blackberry, currant, and black cherry fill the inviting nose of this 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. Wisps of toast and herb characteristics are present as well. There is a depth, power and complexity to the palate of this wine that immediately impresses as soon as you take a sip and let it envelop your senses. This wine is intense but precise and measured. As with all of the Smith-Madrone wines it's balanced and proportionate. Cherry flavors, both black and red dominate the palate along with hints of mushroom and leather as well as black pepper. The finish here is long and lush with the depth that is often associated with great Napa Mountain Cabernet. Earth, baker's chocolate, black tea and hints of graphite are all present. This Cabernet will certainly age and improve in the bottle over the next 15 or so years. However it's quite ready to drink now, a benefit of Charles and Stu holding their wines until they are drinkable. If you do drink it now you have the choice of decanting it for an hour or so or watching as it develops in your glass over a leisurely meal. In any case you'll be drinking one of the very best Cabernet's from Napa Valley regardless of price point.

"Highly recommended"
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
85 percent cabernet sauvignon, 6 percent merlot, 9 percent cabernet franc: Highly Recommended: inky hue, hint of oak, powerful, earthy black cherry flavors, big, ripe tannins, long finish.
Hawk Wakawaka wine blog / May 15th, 2012
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Cabernet Sauvignon shows an excellent nose with nice meaty qualities, light pepper, good earth, and red fruit. I like the red chalk effect on the palate that comes in alongside a great umami character (I was caught up thinking of caribou soup with red cherry, pepper, and light tobacco here, I have to admit), light tobacco notes, red fruit, and that nice alcohol pepper and heat. The presentation offers a drying grip, with pleasing texture, red fruit, and lightly watery body. I very much enjoyed this Cabernet and wanted it alongside meat to help draw out more of the fruit flavors. I'd love to let this Cabernet age, and I enjoyed it now as well.Read full post.

"a stellar example of the power of terroir"
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
I call Smith-Madrone proprietors, Stu and Charlie Smith 'The Mountain Men of Napa,' and their 2005 Cabernet is a stellar example of the power of the terroir from this unique, high-elevation property in the Spring Mountain District. The earthiness of the wine melds wonderfully with the earthiness of the sheep's milk while bringing out the fruit-forwardness of the wine and the sweetness of the cow's milk. Don't miss the rind with the wine! (Paired with Old Chatham Sheepherding Company's sheep's milk and cow's milk Camemberts)

" a classic Napa Valley Cab...highly recommended!"
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep garnet color with aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, sage and eucalyptus. Rich blackcurrant and black cherry fruit flavors with white pepper and mint finishing with moderate tannins. A classic Napa Valley Cab that is delicious now but will reward cellaring for the next 10-15 years. Highly Recommended.Read post

"Smith-Madrone makes one the of the greatest wines in Napa Valley!"
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Smith-Madrone makes one of the greatest Cabernets in Napa Valley....The two brothers Smith dry farm their old vine Caberent next to the encroaching Madrone forest. Not many people talk about dry farming or old vine Cabernet in Napa because very few have the courage or ability to do either. But the Smith brothers do both and this sets their Cabernet far above the curve of Napa Valley... The results are profound. The wine opens with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs and cassis. It is classically built Napa Cabernet and the palate demonstrates this. The tannins are supple, cedary and full. The wine resonates like great old-growth Bordeaux; Smith-Madrone's Cabernet is meant to age. In time, as the tannins soften, the wine's aroma will become even more dramatic, opening up with roses, sweet smoking spices and a framboise liqueur-like finish. This is a classic Napa Cabernet, revealing fruit full of California sunshine and the structure to back it up.

"A truly artisanal wine...a top pick for the holidays"
For those that believe all special occasions call for a Cab, the 2005 Smith-Madrone is the perfect all-American Cab to call on for celebrating Thanksgiving. Limited production, dry-farmed and crafted by two brothers, Stuart and Charles Smith, this Cab is remarkable for its concentration, intensity, overall balance and final finesse. Bringing a truly artisanal wine to the table with a mix of red and black fruit, plenty of power and an undeniable presence, this is a top pick for the holidays.

"...a remarkably even-keeled, perfectly proportionate Cabernet Sauvignon."
... Last year I visited Smith-Madrone on Spring Mountain for the first time and I was knocked out. Their wines, their property and their personalities are all perfectly authentic examples of some of the very best of what Napa Valley has to offer. Today I'll look at their current release of Cabernet Sauvignon. ...
Red berry and bramble aromas fill the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is deep and layered with a bevy of flavors. Cherries (both red and black), bits of herb and earth are the primary characteristics that surfaced when I first sipped this wine, Minerals such as flint and hints of pencil lead emerge on the finish along with dark cocoa, espresso and continued earth. The 2005 Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkably even-keeled, perfectly proportionate Cabernet Sauvignon. From start to finish it shows off rich, textured flavors and deep layers of fruit and spice that reward sipping over a long evening. This wine from Stuart and Charles Smith is rather delicious now, particularly after an hour or so in the decanter. However it's quite age-worthy and will improve under proper storage conditions for the next decade at minimum and drink well for another 5 or so after that. The bottom line is that the 2005 vintage of Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon in a tremendous example of why this particular grape and Napa Valley are synonymous. It's also an exceptional value. In a valley filled with many lofty price tags, the cost of this wine is a steal for the quality you're getting in the bottle relative to many other examples. The sticker may say $45 but the taste and quality of this wine says $75.

"This is classic, ageworthy Napa Cabernet."
2005 Cabernet: Old School Delight
Winemakers/proprietors Stuart and Charles Smith are dedicated to making quality wines at fair prices that show a sense of time and place and solid varietal character. This wine is a shining example of this focus. The nose exhibits blackberry, black cherry, bell pepper, dried herbs, cassis and light toasted oak. The palate brings direct delivery of the nose elements with solid acidity, supple tannins and a depth and richness not commonly seen in Napa Cabs these days. All the flavor elements remain through the long complex finish. This is classic, ageworthy Napa Cabernet.
Pulling Corks and Forks Blog / Sandy Wasserman / August 21, 2011
"A Cab with finesse and structure"
...Soft and lush at the beginning, with good black cherry and currant fruit and medium tannins this wine has nice character and complexity. A long lingering finish on the back of the palate, "this is one of the best Cabs I've had all year," said my drinking companion. This is not a big Cab, with huge tannins but a Cab. with finesse and structure. With less than 1,500 cases of the 05 produced this bottle is a steal at approximately $45. If you can find it make sure you grab a bottle or 2 and while at it if you can find their Chardonnay or Riesling one should stock up on those too.

"Napa Cab done right"
Smith-Madrone 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
This economic turmoil has me hankering for simpler times, and I like to think that this is how they made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon back in the day. Ripe but not too ripe, assertive but balanced, it's like a little bit of Americana in a glass.You could spend some time unpacking the aromas (licorice, plum and tobacco, for starters), but the best course of action here is just to drink the damn thing—preferably accompanied by a nice, juicy steak.
Fred Koeppel / Bigger Than Your Head Blog /July 4, 2011
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon "...you'll detect notes of cedar-infused, spiced and macerated black currants and dried black cherries with an under-tone of plum. Burgeoning through that scope, however, will be elements of briers and brambles, forest floor and graphite-like minerality, walnut-shell and new leather. Slowly, slowly, the wine offers touches of mint, lavender and licorice, tobacco and lead pencil, black olive, dried thyme and a bit of rosemary's slightly heady resiny quality. Plums and mulberries seep into this sharply etched profile that delves as deeply into the wine's measureless expanse as the roots in the vineyard penetrate into the mountainside, while the finish is tenaciously dense, granitic and brooding. 14.2 percent alcohol. Production was 1,459 cases. Best from 2012 or '14 through 2018 to '20. Excellent. About $45."

"Phenomenal effort...crazy good value!"
The '05 Smith-Madrone Cab is a phenomenal effort. Full of balance and restrained power, this shows off deep black fruit, newer leather and great earth to go with its medium acidity and firm but fine tannins. Crazy good value for the cost and it garnered two WKBadges: QPRWK & OldWorldWK. Cheers!

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon: Exceptional, Olive and traces of herbs mark the fascinating aroma of Cabernet (!) and dark cherry fruit, which this Spring Mountain property has always delivered. Superb balance and a wine that is just beginning to show its aging potential.

"This is the sort of young Cabernet I prize."
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
"...a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that recently impressed me, the 2005 Smith-Madrone. This is the sort of young Cabernet I prize. It has firm structure, is well balanced, and another five to six years in my cellar would be beneficial. Of course, I expect nothing less from the Smith brothers, Charlie and Stuart, who've been making great Cab up on Spring Mountain for the past quarter-century. They are farmers, for one thing, and don't have their finger to the wind to determine which way the critics— yes, people like me—are leaning. They just do what they do best: get their grapes ripe, don't overdo it, and sell their wine at a fair price.
I remember when the cost of new French oak barrels spiked a few years ago. Rather than absorb the financial blow and raise prices, Smith-Madrone switched to less costly American oak. "Hey," Stu Smith told me at the time, "if it's good enough for Silver Oak." Indeed, the Smith-Madrone wines are as good as ever. The Chardonnay is ripe but restrained, and the Riesling is among the finest made in America. And if Silver Oak is the model for their Cabernet, well, that's not such a bad thing."

"Full-bodied, deep, 90+"
2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
...weighs in at a very civilized 13.9 percent alcohol. The wine has a very encouraging "green edge" to it that all young cabernet should have...the wine offers up a complex and properly reserved nose of black cherries, cassis, a touch of bell pepper, soil tones, a touch of cigar smoke and a fairly gentle base of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and still quite primary, with fine mid-palate depth, a fair bit of tannin and fine length and grip on the focused finish. This is a very good bottle of cabernet that will need five to seven years to really hit its stride, and should drink well for at least the next twenty-five years...the wine is balanced and overall it is a very, very pleasant surprise.
Vinography Wine Blog / January 10, 2009
...This Cabernet is made from the estate's 32-year-old, dry-farmed vines at the top of Spring Mountain. It ages for 22 months in new American Oak barrels (an unusual choice for both Napa and for Cabernet), and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. After bottling the winery likes to hang onto it for a while, which means this 2003 is the current release (the 2004 will hit the market in a couple of months). ...
Tasting Notes:
Dark ruby in color, this wine has a beautiful nose of plum, chocolate, and heady cedar aromas. In the mouth it is soft and silky on the tongue, with a suprisingly lightness for Napa Cabernet -- a bruiser this is most certainly not. The core flavors are black cherry and chocolate, and they dance, juicy on the tongue thanks to great acidity and faint, powdery tannins that simply play a background note to the overall bright quality of the wine. Incredibly easy to drink (a whole bottle).
Overall Score: between 9 and 9.5
Colorado Wine News - (April-June 2008, Vol. 18, No. 2)
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon contains about 10% merlot and 8% cabernet franc and was aged for 22 months in new American oak. It has inviting aromas of star anise, cassis, black raspberry, wet earth and smoke. All continue as nicely ripe but slightly tart flavors laced with dry tannin and finish medium-broad and medium-long. This is a well-balanced, structured and integrated wine which will complement food now and will be even better if you give it another year in the bottle to moderate the tannins.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine / May 2008

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
86 points
The winery held this Cab back longer than most. Tasted in late 2007, it was quite soft and immediately drinkable. The flavors are rich and ripe, suggesting red cherries, cassis, licorice, cola and milk chocolate.

About that 2003 Cab...
...I had a sample of his 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon recently... And the wine brought me immense satisfaction: Every sip was a little journey, enriching and interesting and yet well balanced and not at all challenging. I thought it was fabulous.
Here's Stu's take on the 2003:
"Well, it's unfined and unfiltered, it's still evolving, it's got a little Cab Franc, a little Merlot. ... It's a big wine, an interesting complex wine, not excessively tannic. Some people think it's excessively soft, but it gets people talking about the wine. It's also a wine that gives people a lot of pleasure. It's what I think a wine really should be: It makes a statement, it has character, and yet it's not over the top. My brother liked it better than I did in the beginning; it's a wine that's really evolved in the last couple of years being in the bottle. It's got a good future ahead of it; I think they'll last 15 years or more."

Rating: 91
Smith-Madrone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, Spring Mountain District ($40): This wine has been historically underrated, lost in the attention heaped on more expensive and trendy Napa Valley cabs. Could be because it's truly a mountain cab, crafted from vineyards on the cooler side of the Valley and thus slightly more austere in its youth than the flashier, jammier wines from the eastern hills above the valley floor. This vintage shows excellent depth and structure, complex dark-fruited aromas with a touch of earthiness, and fine tannins. I suspect it will improve over the next seven to 10 years.
Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences: The Weekly Wine Commentary
Review of 2003 Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon
(Volume XII, Issue 45 January 17, 2008)
Lean, classic Napa Valley herb/dust and cherry aroma, with a structure I haven't seen in years: Great to age! Or try now with aeration and a steak. A superb look back to an era when many Cabs showed structure. Not for those who want plushness.

The decision by Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com, to accept Bitcoin in exchange for its products has turned out to be a very savvy business decision for the online retailer. While the pace of Bitcoin sales has dropped off significantly from the tremendous $130k recorded in the first 24 hours, the sales have continued to come in. Only two months into the experiment, the retailer has now surpassed $1 million in BTC sales. More importantly, Mr. Byrne estimate 60% of these sales came from entirely new customers.
From TechDirt:
"We did not expect to hit this milestone so quickly," states Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick M. Byrne. "Bitcoin customers are good customers, and we're pleased to provide them this service."
Overstock.com started accepting Bitcoin in early January by partnering with Coinbase to process the payments and handle the conversion of Bitcoin into U.S. dollars. Since then, Overstock.com reports 4,300 customers paid for over $1 million worth of goods with Bitcoin. The retailer estimates almost 60% of those are new customers to Overstock.com.
Up until Overstock.com started accepting Bitcoin, only small retailers and services were accepting the currency. It was originally an experiment for the retailer but today's press release clearly shows that Overstock.com is happy with the results.
Other retailers should pay close attention.

March 8, 1998
LOS ANGELES - Freshman Jeff Phelps hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning to give Arizona State its first lead of the game, and the Sun Devils (15-6, 5-3) would not trail again as they defeated the Bruins (9-13, 4-7), 9-3 on Sunday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium. UCLA had won on Friday night, 6-5 and Arizona State had won on Saturday, 14-6.
It was a pitching duel for five innings between senior righthander Richie Leon of Arizona State and freshman righthander Jon Brandt of UCLA. UCLA pushed across a run in the first inning on an RBI-single by senior Cassidy Olson. Arizona State tied the game in the fourth inning on an RBI-single by junior Andrew Beinbrink. UCLA took the lead in the fifth inning on an RBI-double by senior Eric Byrnes,
Leon retired 10 batters in a row from the second inning until one out in the fifth inning when junior Jack Santora doubled. After Leon allowed a two-out walk to junior Eric Valent, he was removed from the game preventing him from earning the win. Senior righthander Aaron Kramer retired UCLA's leading hitter, freshman Garrett Atkins on a groundout with two outs and two runners on. Kramer ended up pitching 2.1 scoreless innings and earned the victory to improve to 2-1.
Brandt allowed just one run through five innings. In the sixth inning, he hit senior Rudy Arguelles. Then sophomore Willie Bloomquist singled. After Brandt struck out Beinbrink, Phelps hit a three-run home run over the left field wall. Brandt suffered the loss, dropping his record to 1-3. All three starting pitchers for UCLA this weekend were true freshman. The first non-freshman pitcher to appear in the series was senior Matt Klein who pitched the final 0.2 innings on Sunday.
Arizona State opened up the game with four runs in the ninth inning, highlighted by Beinbrink's three-run double.
UCLA plays at Loyola Marymount on Tuesday and then plays at Arizona over the weekend. Arizona State hosts Oklahoma on Tuesday and Wednesday and then plays at USC over the weekend.

Pump Pains: When do Falling Gas Prices Become a Problem?
Can falling oil and gasoline prices be bad news? They can be for refiners—and that could come back to bite American drivers just as gas prices are coming back to earth.
Oil prices have fallen so far, so fast that turning crude oil into gasoline is now a money-losing business. A barrel of refined gasoline is worth $2.84 less than a barrel of oil, Reuters reports; earlier this year, gasoline fetched a hefty premium of more than $30 a barrel.
Gasoline prices have never fallen so much so quickly; nationwide prices fell 25 cents a gallon last week alone. That's already prompting some U.S. refiners to scale back production, reports the WSJ today. Sunoco, for instance, shut down one of its refineries due to "poor economic returns," and could keep it shuttered for up to six months.
What's surprising isn't so much that refiners are throttling back. When crude price increases outpaced gasoline price hikes this spring, refiners also held back capacity to try to protect their margins.
What's surprising is that U.S. refineries are still producing so much despite the dismal economics. Though U.S. gasoline production slipped last week, refiners still produced more gasoline in mid-October than they did at the same time in 2007, even though demand for gasoline has dropped dramatically in recent months. The outlook for 2009, with a recession looming, isn't any brighter.
Given gasoline's poor returns right now, refiners have a couple of options—and neither one would be good for American drivers recovering from record-high gasoline prices. They can take capacity off-line, as Sunoco is doing, in the hopes that "standing on the hose" will keep gas prices steady. Or they can try to re-jig refinery output to focus on products that offer better returns, such as diesel or jet fuel.
All summer, Americans (well, most anyway) clamored for lower gas prices. Now that they've suddenly arrived, lower prices could be too much of a good thing too soon, if production cuts or a resurgence in gasoline demand send prices back up just as the economy goes south.

A Winterized Pick-Up Truck
Suburban-Chicago employee Matt Bartlett spent $2,300 to build this 300-gallon anti-icer. He designed the unit to be lifted into a standard pickup truck and removed when the vehicle's needed for something else. Photos: Harvey Williams
New Jersey Superintendent Steven Alexander spent $700 to convert this former fire tanker to an anti-icing vehicle with a driver-regulated spray boom. Photos: Steven Alexander
The driving force behind the brine system: a gas-powered centrifugal pump pressurizes the system and circulates the brine to the boom at the back of the truck.
Agency: Village of Vernon Hills, Ill., Public Works Department
Innovation: Portable anti-icing unit
Savings: $5,500 on equipment (compared to commercial units) and more than $100,000/year in salt
A township superintendent explains how he turned an old fire tanker into an anti-icing vehicle.
In the years since larger public works departments in my area started using anti-icing systems, I've seen salt brine applied to a road surface several days before a storm and still be effective once the snow started to fall.
After attending several workshops on salt brine I was convinced this was a cost-saving method taxpayers would appreciate. Since our budget wouldn't support buying an insert tank, I looked for ways to build one. Finally I came across a retired fire tanker truck (1975 International Cab Over) that I convinced the Lawns Volunteer Fire Company to donate to the township.
Persuading my governing body to fund the truck's conversion to an anti-icing vehicle was more challenging. The idea was generally welcomed, but not everyone agreed $700 for piping, valves, and gauges was worth the investment. After gaining majority approval, I was determined to produce an effective applicator.
Many days and sleepless nights resulted in a practical blueprint. I mounted a gas-powered, 90-gallon-per-minute (gpm) centrifugal pump we'd bought years earlier at the rear of the tank and ran 1½-inch PVC pipe from the pump into the truck's cab.
Inside the cab, I installed a pressure gauge, manual gpm gauge, and manually operated ball valve. The ball valve acts as a gpm-reduction valve that enables the driver to manually adjust application rate according to vehicle speed. Once the brine is regulated by the ball valve, the solution exits the cab and flows through a 1¼-inch PVC pipe to the rear boom applicator.
I also installed a pressure-regulating bypass valve on the pump's pressure side, which allows fluid to circulate back into the tank when the ball valve is closed. The rear boom applicator is made from 7-foot, 1¼-inch PVC pipe with evenly spaced ¼-inch holes drilled for even material distribution.
Last winter I saved approximately 30% of my anti-icing and de-icing budget. For a closer look at the vehicle, visit www.youtube.com/ElkTwpPublicWorks.

I am looking for a referential strategy to share files between a VirtualBox host and guest. For instance, in my setup, I have an Ubuntu Host and WinXP Guest. I use VBoxManage to create custom "Open With..." actions in my Host. Here's an example I use for Illustrator:
VBoxManage guestcontrol WinXP execute --image "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\
Adobe Illustrator CS5\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windows\\Illustrator.exe"
--username Foo --password Bar -- "E:\\"%n
However, this only works on my Ubuntu's desktop folder, which I have shared as E:\ on my guest. (E:\ points to the share, %n refers to the file name on my Ubuntu desktop).
This is using the file-sharing capabilities with the guest additions installed. However, any subfolders will break my "Open with..." custom action, as %n refers to the file name, and other shortcuts such as %f provide the entire file path, which the Guest cannot understand.
Is there a better way to map files between the two operating systems so I could use something like this globally?

The highest levels of contamination were found in the maid's cleaning cart, specifically, on the mop and sponge. That's a problem because it means that bacteria are being carried from room to room, according to the researchers.
Such cross-contamination could be reduced, though, by replacing cleaning liquids during housekeeping shifts, they said.
The lowest levels of bacteria were found on the headboard, curtain rods and bathroom door handle.
The researchers tested for bacteria in general, and did a separate test for cloriform bacteria, which are found in feces and are more likely to cause illness. Both tests showed that bacteria levels in hotel rooms were between 2 to 10 times higher than the levels accepted in hospitals.
The presence of bacteria's doesn't guarantee that people will get sick, but it makes it more likely.
The research was presented on June 17 at microbiology researchers' conference in San Francisco.

Merriam-Webster defines the word "hope" as: to want something to happen or be true and think that it could happen or be true. Dictionary.com defines it as: the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. Hope is a powerful thing, yet it can also be a fragile thing. On March 18, 2014, residents in Athens, Georgia, found out just how fragile hope can be.
It was a rainy, melancholy day when an Oconee County resident discovered a young black and white female Shih Tzu off of Whit Davis Road, near the woods. It was difficult to tell what the creature was, due to the severe matting covering its entire body. This Good Samaritan scooped up the sweet little mass of mats, and delivered her to Oconee County Animal Control.
At the shelter, the staff could see how incredibly gruesome the mats on this tiny dog were. Optimistic that she could be freed of the mess, they decided to call her Hope.
Hope was taken to the shelter's groom sponsor, Bark Dog Spa & Boutique, where they tried valiantly to cut away Hope's matted fur. But a startling and horrific discovery was made: The matting had caused Hope's left rear leg to become detached just below the knee joint. It had healed itself somehow, but that wasn't her only problem. Both of Hope's front legs were necrotic, heavily infected, and causing her extreme pain. The groomer suggested that euthanizing Hope might be the kindest thing to do, so that her longtime suffering could end.
Oconee County Animal Shelter transported Hope to Dr. Angela Dodd of Hope Animal Medical Center, located in Athens, GA. Dr. Dodd had volunteered her help at no cost to the shelter. The notes she made are not for the faint of heart.
Where her leg had detached and healed, there remained dried pieces of her footpads and fragments of her tibia and fibula entangled in her matted fur. As more mats were cut away, more horror awaited. "Once the thick mat of fur was removed, the ice cold, swollen foot and left front leg were found to be completely without blood supply and in a severe state of infection and necrosis. The tissue on the toes sloughed off to reveal the bones underneath, and the skin and underlying muscle tissue further up the leg was discolored and falling apart due to necrosis as well. The leg could not be saved. I think she may have been able to walk on that leg only because of the thick, hard shell that had become like a cast, almost, made of matted fur, excrement, dirt, and exudate from the weeping wounds caused by the decomposing flesh underneath it," Dr. Dodd explained in her veterinary report. She continued sadly, "Had this animal not previously lost her left rear limb to the same set of circumstances weeks, perhaps months before, we could have amputated the left front leg and possibly saved her life. After careful consideration, humane euthanasia was elected as our only option."
Hope was a young, sweet dog. Apart from the matting and the damage it had done to her body, she was quite healthy. It was obvious to Dr. Dodd that Hope had been receiving food from somewhere, as she was not emaciated.
All involved are avidly searching for the owner of Hope, and encourage anyone who may have any information to report, anonymously, what they know. If Hope did have an owner, they will need to answer for what happened to her. If she did belong to someone, this would be a serious case of neglect and would be subject to criminal punishment.
This dog could have had the opportunity to be loved and cherished; she was an innocent creature who deserved a life of warmth and happiness. Instead, she endured horrendous suffering. Those who knew her for even a short duration greatly mourned her loss.
"I will never forget this patient for as long as I live. I would have given anything to save her, as she deserved so much better than the life she had," Dr. Dodd wrote in conclusion for her report.
If you have any information about Hope and how she came to be in this condition, please contact Oconee County Animal Control, located at 1171 Branch Rd in Bishop, GA; they can also be phoned at (706) 769-3956.
Do not let Hope's death be in vain. Please help by sharing her story, and always putting a stop to neglect and abuse when you see it.

Today, May 9, 2014, the new movie 'Neighbors' appears in movie theaters nationwide in the United States. Nicholas Stoller, writer of 'Fun with Dick and Jane' and 'Yes Man' fame, directs the movie. 'Neighbors' stars Zach Efron and Seth Rogen plus Australian-born Rose Byrne plays Rogen's wife in the film. Dave Franco, younger brother to actor James Franco, also plays a supporting role to Efron.
Seeing the movie earlier this week, 'Neighbors' had only a few strong laughs from the crowd, and those were from scenes, which appeared in prior public previews. Although there were funny moments at different times during the film, it met with mild laughs throughout. It is not a movie I could recommend, however if you're a strong Seth Rogen or Zach Efron fan, then see a matinee and save your money. 'Neighbors' appears to be a movie by adults trying to excuse their boring, sexless lives. Rogen does a superb job, however this movie does not play his strengths.
Mac and Kelly Radner, played by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne respectively, have taken the step of home ownership with a newborn baby. They soon discover the home next door is for sale and though they were excited to think a gay couple with a baby was going to move in, a U-Haul van shows up one day with a large number of fraternity brothers. The house next door becomes a rowdy frat house, which disturbs the Radner's pace of their boring life. Mac and Kelly introduce themselves, in the lamest of ways, to Teddy Sanders (Zach Efron), the frat's president and Pete (Dave Franco), the frat's vice-president. The contrast of old and young is thrown in the audience faces constantly throughout the film, and not in a fun way. Most of the bits were old and tired, like Rogen's character Mac constantly comparing his fat body to Efron's fit body.
The only two people worth watching were Seth Rogen and Dave Franco. If you are into viewing guys with less than 12% body fat, then Zach Efron will offer you some eye candy as he shows quite a bit of skin. Dave Franco's impersonation of Robert De Niro's 'Meet the Fockers' character, Jack Byrnes was amazingly good. Besides the airbag scenes, which had already been seen in previews, Franco's performance was the second best aspect of the film.

Our favorite member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage was interviewed by RT today regarding the EU's decision to attempt to force Cypriot depositors to pay for Cyprus' bank bailout.
In this MUST WATCH interview, Farage does anything but diffuse the situation, stating that the EU is simply attempting to steal money from Cyprus bank accounts, and he recommends Europeans Do not invest in the Eurozone, you have to be mad to do so, and to get your money out while you can!
Farage states that the European bureaucrats will not allow Cyprus to collapse and leave the Eurozone, but that the entire Euro experiment will soon end in a disastrous collapse: They are propping up a Eurozone that, in the end, will collapse in disastrous failure and they are prepared to do anything to do so.

Olympic hopeful Ashley Wagner made a big decision about her upcoming performance for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The Team USA athlete has decided to revert to her old figure skating freestyle program which includes different music. According to NBC Sports on Tuesday, this decision was based on the assessments of her performances and a personal choice.
When Ashley Wagner steps out on the ice, the fans will hear the music from Samson and Delilah instead of Romeo and Juliet. This decision might sound minor to some fans, but the older program brought her wins in previous competitions so the return to the previous program will build up her confidence. Tweaking the final presentation, the athlete is working closely with her coaches to make sure that the program is on point and all she needs to do is skate confidently.
With the Olympics being only a few weeks away, Ashley Wagner is currently making her final preparations before heading to Sochi. Looking to squeeze out extra practice time and making sure she is comfortable with every part of her program, the Olympic hopeful is making the best of her time.
The fans will be cheering Ashley Wagner on in Sochi! The figure skater is one athlete to keep an eye on during the Winter Games!

Add this to your list of enviable occupations; Bill Pavlacka is a sculpture extraordinaire of sand castles on the beach, and he's making a living at it. Whether commissioned to do the art for a special event or on his own with a donation jar, either way he's on the beach under the shade of an umbrella. He calls himself The Sand Castle Man.
We found him in front of the Hotel Del Coronado next to an eye catching, highly detailed, mystical, magical, with portions fantastical, sand sculpture. The art is given no name but can be likened to the Emerald City from the land of OZ with spires, pathways, and quaint little houses. In the background is the Hotel Del's distinctive red shingled turrets piercing the sky. There is an uncanny similarity between the hotel's architecture and Pavlocka's art piece.
Popular local beaches provide a ceaseless audience whose curiosity overcomes their shyness. They approach cautiously at first, then break out the camera or stand back in appreciation. Most don't notice the donation jar and Pavlacka remains seated yet attentive. His art cannot be bought or hung on a wall, but any one of these beach-goers is a potential future gig. His business card is at the ready for the prospective client. But it's the artwork that speaks loudest.
Creating it takes time, patience, and an understanding of gravity and tides. Surrounding him are the tools of the trade: a wheelbarrow and white plastic buckets for water.
"It took me about five hours," says Pavlacka. His more involved creations will take days to build.
He favors Coronado Beach and who wouldn't. Any beach will do and he's been up the coast doing his art as far as San Francisco. Just about every weekend he's at Coronado Beach in front of the Hotel Del. If you can't see his work in person, he has an impressive internet presence starting with his website and a time lapse video of the creation of a sand castle on Youtube.

Used games...they are everywhere. Everyone wants a piece.
Let's say you have a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in your possession. You bought the game, played it, and are now done with it. You place the game on Craig's List, eBay, or any other means of selling your already played copy. Next thing you know, you sold the game and got a fraction of your money back.
Does Activision have a right to a portion of the money you claimed in selling their game? You collected funds for their product to someone who didn't have the game before you sold it. So how about it....do you owe them?
For months and months now, gamers, publishers, and everyone in between have been ragging on establishments like Gamestop, a business that thrives on the used games market. Publishers and game developers have been trying new ways in getting consumers to cease their purchases of used games, doing all they can to push the sales to new copies.
Is it wrong that publishers want consumers to buy new games?
Absolutely not, but they have to realize that once they sell the copies to Best Buy, Gamestop, Wal-Mart, Target, etc--that is it...you are not entitled to any more royalties from the selling of the game at a secondhand shop. Once you collect your money from said businesses, you got your money. So why would these publishers want to harp used game stores? Simply, it is greed. Gamestop's profits continue to grow and much of it comes from their used games side of things.
Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie? But the only person that is entitled to that profit is the company who resold the game, rather it be Gamestop, Mom and Pop's Used Games, and so forth.
Are Harper Collins and Random House tearing down Half-Price Books' front door asking for royalties on their books so they can get paid and give more money to the authors?
How about Ford Motor Company? Are they scouring the land at every used car dealership with their hands outstretched for a piece of the profit on that 2004 Ford Focus they recently sold?
I am sure you heard about Warner Brothers looking at Blockbuster Video, wanting profit sharing on those used dvds they sold.....no? That's because it didn't happen.
So what makes the video gaming industry different?
What can game publishers do to profit on their new games?
Games like Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, etc came new with codes to download extra content if you bought it new....and this is a good thing. Give the consumer more incentive to buy it new and to buy it when it first comes out. This will maximize their profits with more orders from places like Gamestop, Best Buy, etc to buy more copies when the game first comes out. Make the free code a timed exclusive deal and if the consumer doesn't buy the game in the first 90 days or so, take the code out. You have to express a limited window....a limited time offer. This drives some people to get it before the free content is gone.
Game developers and publishers have to do all they can to make the best game possible and make the packaged game the best deal they can. Give it all you got.....that, or you might have to raise your prices if you are that greedy. This way, when you sell it to the stores, you get more money per new copy. Raised prices, however, might steer your customers away.
True that digital downloads for new games is starting to take off with things like Steam, Xbox Live, and PSN, but we are not a the point where we are ready to abandon the disc formatting of games quite yet. If publishers are so concerned about killing off the used games market, just give it time and they will mostly go away. Hey, then you have won that battle.
But until then, the used games market is here and people are playing your games, rather it be new or used. Just be glad someone spent their hard-earned money to buy your game by whatever means they could find it.
Game devs and pubs: You are only entitled to the first round of profits from your new game. As for the used games, you cannot touch it. Stop being so greedy and enjoy the releases of your products. I know some of them are.

Grew up in York, Maine. Educated Annapolis; MIT. US Navy officer.
Official NASA Biography - May 2004
Chris Cassidy, Mission Specialist
BORN: Salem, Massachusetts
EDUCATION: BS, Mathematics, U.S. Naval Academy, 1993; MS, Ocean Engineering, MIT, 2000
CURRENT JOB: Commander, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit, Afghanistan, Senior SEAL in Afghanistan
QUICK FACT: Has done two tours of duty in Afghanistan
QUOTE: "I hope to be the next guy on the moon."
Navy SEAL Chris Cassidy had just returned from a second tour in Afghanistan when he got word that his next mission could take him much, much farther away.
"I hope to be the next guy on the moon," Cassidy says.
Cassidy has been selected to begin astronaut training this summer as a mission specialist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. It is an opportunity he has worked toward for years, after hearing about the achievements of a fellow SEAL.
"I heard about Bill Shepherd, and I found his story motivating," Cassidy said of the first International Space Station commander. "I contacted him and asked him what sort of things I should do to prepare myself to be an astronaut."
Among the things he says Shepherd recommended was that he go back to school. Already armed with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the U.S. Naval Academy, Cassidy applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. He eventually earned a Master's degree there in Ocean Engineering.
Cassidy grew up in York, Maine, where he played basketball at York High School. He also attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport, R.I. His Navy career has taken him across the country and around the world, from Norfolk, Va. on the east coast to San Diego, Calif. on the west. After the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, the Navy sent him to Afghanistan.
His platoon was deployed to fight in the war against terrorism shortly after September 11. He says that was a "nerve-wracking" time for his family. During his second Afghan tour, he took on a greater leadership role and was involved heavily in planning. Cassidy, now a lieutenant commander in the Navy, says he is "just happy to come home in one piece."
Cassidy, 34, is married and has three children, all of whom, he says, are excited to move to Houston. Their dad is enthusiastic, too. Cassidy is "more excited than ever" by the new Vision for Space Exploration and is thrilled at the timing of his selection. By the time NASA is ready to return humans to the moon, he says, he'll be ready.
"I was attracted to NASA for the mystique of traveling into space," he says. "I want to contribute to the agency's mission in any way I can."
Birth Place: Salem, Massachusetts.
Status: Active.
Born: 1970.01.04.
Spaceflights: 1 .
Total time in space: 15.70 days.
Mission Specialists: Bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science or mathematics and minimum three years of related experience or an advanced degree. Vision minimum 20/150 uncorrected, correctable to 20/20. Maximum sitting blood pressure of 140/90. Height between 150 and 193 cm.. Due to a surplus of astronauts and a dearth of missions, NASA cancelled the planned 2002 astronaut selection. The next call for applications was made in May 2003, with a due date of 1 July. 'Educator astronauts' were especially requested, and 1100 applications were received in this category. The final selection was two pilots and nine mission specialists; nine men and two women. Given the drastic reduction if shuttle flights and ISS crew size planned for the post-Columbia disaster period, the chances for astronauts from this group flying in the next decade seemed slim indeed. Also training in this group were three NASDA astronauts from Japan.

This is chilling.
The 2010 comedy "Dinner for Schmucks" repeatedly references mind control – see the clip below.
And Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused of shooting Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and many other innocents on Jan. 8, also explored the possibility of mind control on social media sites.
So clearly "Schmucks" is either directly or indirectly responsible for this tragedy. Just connect the dots. It's as plain as day.
If you think that's ridiculous, you're right. Tell that to Elizabeth Banks, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Roger Ebert and Patton Oswalt who all tied former Gov. Sarah Palin to the tragedy via their Twitter pages without a shred of evidence.
There's absolutely nothing funny about their rush to judgment.

I have given a great deal of my life to sport, and I have received a great deal in return. Now my days of competitive sport are done, I am excited to have the opportunity to help the children of our community to live out their sporting dreams, and to experience the benefits of sport as I have.
I firmly believe that sports can give children opportunities for growth that they cannot find though any other means. The discipline, responsibility, accountability and teamwork necessary to be successful in a team sport environment, carries over into the real world and puts young athletes at an advantage above their peers.
There are also some correlational studies that show varied positive effects of sports on young adults. It is said that Students who play at least one sport are 40% less likely to be regular smokers and 50% less likely to be heavy smokers. Also Female athletes in grades 9 through 12 are less than half as likely to get pregnant as their non-athlete peers. That is on top of higher graduation rates, and lower occurrence of eating disorders and body image issues.
I feel that one of the most important things we must convey to our young athletes is the importance of upholding the spirit of sportsmanship, and healthy, friendly competition. The mark of a good sportsman is the ability of an athlete to aggressively compete to the best of their ability, then the second the game is over congratulate the other team on their performance with sincerity, and without any animosity, regardless of the score.
The benefits of sports for adults can be just as great for adults as for children. Impact exercise is one of the best ways to prevent the loss of bone mass that leads to osteoporosis. Studies have also shown exercise to also help maintain a healthy heart and a healthy mind.
So it is for the reasons listed above, and a variety of others, that I encourage you to be active, and to take advantage of the many sporting opportunities available in our community. Also if there are any new sporting activities you would like us to consider adding, or if you have any suggestions for how we could improve or augment our existing programs please do not hesitate to come by and see me.

I like all the poets you all listed. And one I like, which none of you mentioned is Langston Hughes. The poem about a raisin that runs and sticks, and the poem about mother and a tough staircase life, with landings.
There's a lot of logic in poetry. So don't give up! A lot are metaphoric, analogous, and have weird implications. Don't give up on poetry yet.
If I knew of a secure job in literature and poetry, I would so not be an engineer. :P
