The registration fee is $340.
(Tiffany Gill, associate professor in the Department of History, spoke to BET.com about the portrayal of black women in the movie, "The Help".)
In her 12 years as a member of the organization, Professor Tiffany Gill can't recall the Association of Black Women Historians ever making a statement on a contemporary film, but The Help, in theaters nationwide this week, has disturbed the organization.
"Certainly this is not the only film where we have seen derogatory images of African- American women, but what is unique about this film is that the aggressive marketing campaign is trying to make this a cultural phenomenon and we wanted to speak to that," Tiffany Gill, associate Professor of History, African and African Diaspora Studies at The University of Texas at Austin told BET.com.
In a statement released by the organization, the women boldly critique the movie in an attempt to bring public awareness to what they believe are gross misrepresentations of Black women and perpetuation of painful stereotypes.

AGENCY: Alcohol Research Group
People of Mexican origin constitute the largest subgroup of Hispanics in the United States (70 percent), representing 29 percent of the country's immigrant population. A substantial proportion of these immigrants come to the U.S. from border areas in Mexico. A large percentage of border Hispanics is also native-born. Little epidemiologic data exist on substance use or related disorders along the U.S.-Mexico border on either side, or on the effect of stressors associated with border residence.
The proposed research aims to describe and explain alcohol and drug use patterns and related problems among Mexican-origin adults living in two pairs of sister metropolitan areas at the Texas-Mexico border, plus, as a contrast, in one adjacent non-border metropolitan area on each side of the border. The research will also test a conceptual model explaining the effects of border residence on alcohol and drug use outcomes; variables examined will include cross-border mobility and migration, acculturation, social support, exposure to violence, social norms, perceived enforcement of laws, and socio-economic factors.
Survey data from face-to-face household interviews will be collected on 2,400 Mexican-origin adults living in two border metropolitan areas (Laredo, McAllen/Brownsville) and one non-border metropolitan area (San Antonio) in Texas, and on 2,400 adults living in two sister metropolitan border counterparts (Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa/Matamoros) and one non-border metropolitan area (Monterrey) in Mexico. The study is funded by a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to the Public Health Institute in Oakland, CA, which subcontracted with UT Austin researchers Lynn Wallisch, Richard Spence and Jane Maxwell to consult on study design and instrument development, oversee field work, and contribute to data analysis and preparation of manuscripts for publication.
This research builds on two previous federally-funded studies of drug and alcohol use on the Texas side of the border conducted by Wallisch, Spence and Maxwell in 1996 and 2003. The current study is expected to increase our understanding of substance use patterns and problems in the border context, including the influence of cross-border mobility, and provide valuable data that can help inform intervention and prevention efforts on both sides of the border.

Allright, too bad then.
Other than that, can one tweak the gameplay such that you could use an option to improve aiming. With that I mean that you use the "zoom" option for every gun (just like the disruptor), but you don't zoom in at all. The player then locks the gun at his shoulder and not hip like basejka. To change the firetype, the player then pushes another button.
e.g "x" : Change firing mode.
So it would come to this:
Mouse1: Primary fire (as usual, no change)
Mouse2: Aiming stance (for every gun except Disruptor =Zoom.)
"x" : Change firing mode.
Would that be possible? Or does it also require the code ?

If the title "The Trophy Wife" has kept you from tuning in to the ABC comedy, you should rethink your position because the show isn't really about a trophy wife. Rather it's about new definitions of families, and in this instance it's about a man (Bradley Whitford), his third wife (Malin Ackerman), his children, his exes (Michaela Watkins and Marcia Gay Harden), and how they all come together to try to make it work.
"I think what's underneath the show is a lot of really functional people in a totally dysfunctional situation, who are dealing with it for the kids," Whitford says. "It's obviously an exaggerated, crazy situation, but it's about remaining engaged enough to create this post-modern family."
Tonight's episode is a case in point. When Bert, played by the precocious Albert Tsai, reads 100 books, he earns the birthday party of a lifetime -- and ABC dug into its Disney connection big time with an Aladdin bash that includes a fire eater on stilts, professional dancers, and a visit from the host of ABC's hit reality series, "The Bachelor."
So how did Chris Harrison come to guest on "Trophy Wife?" The answer is surprising.
Executive producer Lee Eisenberg admitted to reporters after a screening of the episode that he is a huge fan of "The Bachelor," so much so that he has screening parties at his house, one of which Harrison attended to do a behind-the-scenes piece. So when the discussion came up in the writers room about having a celebrity drop by the over-the-top party, Harrison's name came up.
"So, we called him and he was completely down [with it]," Eisenberg says. "It was great. And then, I came down to the set because I thought it was cool that he was going to be there. He was talking to Malin and I said, 'Hey Chris, I just want to thank you for doing this,' and, I think, he thought I was in crafts services or something. He said, 'You're welcome.' Then he immediately turned back to Malin. So, I stood there, awkwardly waiting for him to turn back to me, but he didn't. And, then, I just shuffled back to the writers room."
Even though the Aladin party is ostensibly a reward for Bert, it is also an excuse for Kate (Ackerman) to try to win over the snobby soccer moms, who have excluded her since she married Pete (Whitford). And just when it looks as if she has succeeded, there is a nice twist to the story -- that I won't spoil by revealing -- that shows that Kate is not as shallow as the title of the series would imply, but really a woman with a big heart.
Also coming up in future episodes of "The Trophy Wife" is an ode to sister network series "Scandal," which involves Diane (Harden) and the PTA.
"We're all Scandal fans and we have an episode coming up that becomes a 'Scandal' parody," says series creator/executive producer Sally Haskins. "Diane has a bit of a failure, which is very unlike her, and she ends up watching a lot of 'Scandal' episodes, and channels her Olivia Pope."
Also coming up is a two-part wedding episode in which Kate discovers Pete's old wedding videos from his marriages to Diane and Jackie (Watkins) in the garage. Since Pete and Kate eloped, Kate decides she wants a wedding, even though she previously thought it was too "girly."
"This is the strongest hint I can send my husband, on national television," jokes Haskins, who like Kate, didn't have a wedding. "I'm like, 'I'd like a wedding. Please watch these two episodes of television.'"
"The Trophy Wife" airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

Maryland's Surface Water Quality Standards
What are water quality standards?
The purpose of water quality standards is to protect, maintain and improve the quality of Maryland surface waters. The following make up the three components of water quality standards:
What are Designated Uses?
A designated use is a goal for water quality. Typically, the goal is the description of an appropriate intended use by humans and/or aquatic life for a water body. Designated uses for a particular waterbody may include recreation, shellfishing, water supply and/or aquatic life habitat. The designated uses established may or may not be met currently, but must be attainable. In Maryland these designated uses are grouped into "Use Classes" (e.g. Use Class I, I-P, II, III, IV-P) so as to describe a unique combination of designated uses that apply to a single water body. Each stream segment, lake, bay, etc. in Maryland is assigned to a use class.
For more detailed information about Maryland's designated uses and use class groupings, please click HERE. To go directly to maps of surface waters and their associated use classes, please click HERE.
Water Quality Criteria
Current Water Quality Standards
For the full text of Maryland Water Quality Standards please visit COMAR 26.08.01 and COMAR 26.08.02.
Changes to the Water Quality Standards
Changes to the Water Quality Standards are implemented through regulatory changes which are subject to the normal promulgation process.
On April 2, 2014, the Secretary of the Environment adopted amendments to the water quality standards regulations. These amendments were proposed in the December 13, 2013 edition of the Maryland Register (40:20 Md. R.). Final action on the regulations was published in the April 18 edition of the Maryland Register. Click here: Maryland Register Online. Comments specific to this proposal were received and have been addressed in a comment/response document. To see a list of those waters which had their Use Classes changed in the regulations, please click on the following link.

N.B. This page is defunct, and all other pages in the Language Systems document index area are likewise defunct. These pages may be removed from the LRC website without notice.
Over the last thirty years major studies have been published on the typology of Indo-European languages and their development, such as analyses of word order, grammatical systems, and so forth. This site presents on-line indices for these studies, allowing one to search lists of subjects and authors, thus contributing to the availability of these texts.
Each index offers selected bibliographies, presenting lists of subjects and authors, which are electronically linked to full bibliographical references. Each full bibliographical reference has a list of keywords, which are electronically linked to other references as well. The two topics that currently are being implemented in the indices are "Language Systems" and "Word Order." Studies in the category of "Language Systems" discuss nominative, ergative and active characteristics in (early) Indo-European, but also several other languages. Our "Language Systems" indices focus on those studies, however, that analyze residues of an earlier non-nominative stage of Indo-European.
Since this work is incomplete, other references on the topics of Language Systems and Word Order may be included in the future. Scholars are invited to send in articles that comply with the topics in question, preferably with suggestions for a list of keywords.
This project was started with the help of a modest grant from the University of Texas at Austin and was subsequently funded by a grant from the Salus Mundi Foundation.

Nonpharmaceutical approaches include psychotherapy and mind-body techniques such as visualization and cognitive restructuring. Regular exercise can also help.
Consider meditating rather than medicating: It's easy to learn relaxation techniques. (For more details, see Leslee Kagan's book, Mind Over Menopause.) These tools can help trigger your body's inborn ability to calm down. Tapping into that response on a regular basis can also reduce hot flashes, improve sleep, as well as boost your mood.
One positive fact to remember: Depression rates decline in women who are officially menopausal.
Mind/Body Approaches to Coping with Perimenopause
Changing the way you think can make this major life transition easier, according to Leslee Kagan, director of the menopause program at Mass General's Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine.
"Are you thinking of it as a new stage of life, or as a stage of loss?" Kagan says. "Youth is valued, so a changing body image can be upsetting." Be aware of black-and-white thinking (It's all downhill from here!) and "should" statements (I should not be feeling so moody!). Ask yourself: Am I using a mental filter, focusing only on all of the negative parts while ignoring the positives? Is this phase really as bad as it seems? Does it serve me well to think this way? "Negative thoughts lead you into the stress response," Kagan says. Instead of dwelling on the negative, try to move your thoughts to appreciation: "What about my day am I thankful for? Avoid saying perimenopause is awful; instead, ask: What is in store for me in this next phase of life? What do I want?
"It really does help when you can change your thoughts so they can serve you better," Kagan says. "It gives you a greater sense of control."
Kagan also suggests two other mind-body approaches to help you ease your own passage.
- Share your experiences with other women who are going through the same experience: "That normalizes things — it's reassuring to know that a lot of women are feeling what you're feeling."
- Spend time with friends. "Just being with your girlfriends, gossiping, giggling, can help your mood," Kagan says.

This student designed dishwasher should be much cheaper to buy or run than the typical model. There's a reason for that – it's powered by hand. The Circo manual dishwasher is designed for use where space is limited, or by people who cannot afford an electric dishwasher.Read More
Wiping down the front of a dishwasher after loading in the dirty dishes kind of goes with the territory. No matter how careful you are, greasy finger marks always seem to spoil an otherwise clean surface. The latest integrated machines from German domestic appliance maker Miele overcome this messy problem with a couple of taps.Read More
The Haier PowerPad is a concept device shown at SinoCES which captures the energy contained within the water that runs off our bodies every morning in the shower, and returns said energy to the hot water tank. Haier claims the PowerPad is currently capturing and returning 15% of the energy coming out of the faucet and by the time it goes on sale six weeks from now, that figure will be 20-30%. Haier is one of the world's most innovative companies and is hence foolish to bet against, but we're struggling to understand the technologies being used and just how optimistic the claims are.Read More

Our crew on the ground at IFA, though not exactly master chefs, still know a good kitchen appliance when they see one. And they were very impressed by a demo of the Philips Robust Collection, five premium kitchen appliances fashioned from modern materials such as shockproof glass, plastics and metal die cast, with couplings made of Zytel plastic, a light metal replacement used by BMW and Mercedes for their sports cars. The result is a blender, food processor, hand blender, juicer and mixer that Philips says proved virtually unbreakable in drop tests, as well as looking good in any modern kitchen. Read More

A vegetable peeler that traps and stores the peel for easy disposal into a composting bin, trash can or garbage disposal unit should win praise from cooks trying to keep their kitchens hygienically clean and tidy.

To handwash or not to handwash? When it comes to saving water, it seems some people firmly believe that the dishwasher is one of those things that need to be sacrificed. Too much water and energy is the argument.

Australian multiculturalism – From stir-fries to ham sandwiches
Author: Tim Southphommasane, Monash University
It is a cliché, but one of the great rituals of growing up in a multicultural society is to sit alongside other children in school to compare lunches.
For much of my schooling I never got too much of a chance to make interesting comparisons. I never thought twice about tucking into the stir fried pork or chicken on rice that my mother or father would prepare for my lunch. After all, most of my classmates had something similar. Even at the school canteen, it was possible to order some fried rice—a choice that quickly became more popular than sausage rolls and meat pies.
I went to primary school in Canley Vale, one of Sydney's outer southwest suburbs. The vast majority of families who sent their children to my school came from the old French Indochina. Many of my schoolmates were from Vietnam, though a good proportion of these Vietnamese were ethnic Chinese. There were also lots of Cambodians and Laotians. Of course, there were also Yugoslavs (as they were known then), Italians, Turks, Chileans and Argentineans. And even a handful of blue-eyed Anglos. But for the most part, my fellow students belonged to families from Southeast Asia. Their names were far more likely to be Phuong, Vong or Sothea—or for that matter, Dragan, Fatima or Enrique—than David or Corey or Sarah. And they didn't have ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches for lunch.
This was the Sydney I grew up in during the 1980s. The critics of multiculturalism at the time would probably have called it something of a ghetto. Indeed, when neighbouring Cabramatta — Sydney's 'little Saigon' – became the hub of heroin trade in the early 1990s, it triggered a brief crime panic across Sydney. There were echoes of old fears of the yellow peril. People feared 'triads' and 'Asian gangs' taking over the city's streets. Fuzzy closed circuit camera footage of rampaging, long-fringed gangsters would be replayed on tabloid evening news programs. Working-class Anglo-Australians took flight from the suburbs around Cabramatta, though this would be accompanied by a steady and pronounced rise in local house prices.
Of course, southwest Sydney was never an Asian ghetto; at least, not in any meaningful sense of the word. Violent crime, though it was a problem during some of the 1990s, didn't persist for long. Whether it has been because of entrepreneurial drive, a prioritisation of education within families, strong community support networks, or a combination of all these things, social mobility rather than social disadvantage has been the norm for Indochinese migrants. Today, Cabramatta is a thriving commercial precinct. Visitors come from within and outside Sydney on weekends. There's no better place to slurp on a pho, to sample Southeast Asian authenticity; one form of authenticity, anyway. One day a supposed ghetto, a tourist drawcard the next.
And to catch a train from Cabramatta these days into the city on a given weekday morning is to be surrounded by young professionals working in finance, accounting and IT. That, and university students buried in their textbooks, no doubt destined to join the same professional ranks in a few years' time.
There is even a distinctive southwest Sydney accent that has developed during the last two decades. The English you overhear on the pavement on Cabramatta's John Street, or on the carriages of city-bound trains on the south line, is more often than not tinged with tonal Vietnamese or Chinese. The mark, you might say, that a minority has been successfully integrated into the nation.
Yet to declare a happy and triumphant ending here for the Indochinese-Australian story would be premature. For one thing, the spectre of racism remains. The resurgence of white Australian nationalism and jingoistic patriotism is cause for concern, though it is being resisted by Australians who detect in all the narcissistic flag-waving and sporting of Southern Cross tattoos a corruption of national symbols.
For another thing, Asian-Australians remain something of an exoticised species in the national imagination. The commodification of multicultural success – the fact that day trips to Cabramatta, for instance, are marketed as a 'taste of Asia' – should be regarded with some ambivalence. The underlying logic of the exercise, that diversity is a benefit only because it can be consumed, might do more to get in the way of regarding migrant Australians as fellow citizens. The exotic can only ever be marginal strangers.
This has been one of the problems with much of the support for multiculturalism to date: it has valued cultural diversity only superficially without understanding its expression as ultimately tied to citizenship. Yet multiculturalism, as it has been expressed in public policy, has always represented a means towards the end of full and equal citizenship for Australians regardless of background. It has never been about some ideal of cultural cornucopia.
The integration of Indochinese migrants into Australian life, while for the large part complete in the realms of market and consumption, remains rather incomplete in the public sphere. Very few from Indochinese backgrounds have successfully entered politics at anything higher than the local council level. There is the Cambodian-born Hong Lim, a Labor member of the Victorian lower house, but he is currently the only one. Indochinese participation in political party politics to date has been besmirched by allegations of 'ethnic bosses' engaging in sleazy 'branch stacking'.
In the media and popular culture more broadly, those from Indochinese backgrounds remain largely invisible. While the streetscapes of Australian cities have been transformed by Asian immigration, there are few Southeast Asian faces to be seen on the beaches of Summer Bay or the cul-de-sac of Ramsey Street. For now, Asian faces remain largely quarantined on SBS. Those who are the ethnic trailblazers, such as the Vietnamese-born comedian Anh Do, wield a double-edged sword: they can make light of their ethnicity and difference, and justify it as a necessary pressure valve for race relations, but they can also risk being, well, ghettoised on TV.
Those first-generation and second-generation Australians from Indochinese backgrounds are for the most part unconcerned. The social politics of ethnicity and nation aren't first-order priorities, certainly not for many who have left their homelands in large part to escape politics. In any case, integration takes time and sometimes we just don't notice it. I suspect that in many school grounds today there are many Australian children of Indochinese background with names such as John or Sarah or, yes, Tim, opening their lunchboxes to find not a stir fry with fried rice, but a white-bread ham sandwich.

Baseball Edged By Hartford, 7-6
April 6, 2005
AMHERST, Mass. -- The University of Massachusetts (3-15) received a pair of homers for the second-straight day, but Hartford (2-7) scored four times in the top of the eighth en route to a 7-6 win this afternoon at Earl Lorden Field. Senior Curt Szado (Monson, Mass.) and freshman Dan Coury (Fall River, Mass.) both notched two-run home runs in the contest.
UMass wasted no time as it opened the scoring in the bottom of the first. Junior Derrick Durepo (Ware, Mass.) forced a walk after a leadoff groundout, then Szado took a pitch deep to left center, recording his first homer of the season and giving the Minutemen a 2-0 lead.
The Hawks came right back in the top of the second and were able to tie the game. Frank Cipolla led off the frame with a single to center, and then Luke Trahan drove a double to left center, plating Cipolla as the hit-and-run was on. Josh Topp continued the rally with a single to center which advanced Trahan to third. The next play, Bill Perry grounded into a double play, but Trahan crossed the plate to make the score 2-2.
In the bottom of the fourth, UMass' first two batters were retired. Freshman Bryan Garrity (Peabody, Mass.) doubled down the left field line, and then sophomore Bill Rankin (Willington, Conn.) drove him in with a single to left. On the next play, Coury blasted his second homer of the season over the left-center wall, giving UMass a 5-2 advantage.
Again, Hartford retaliated with a run in the top of the fifth. After a single and a walk for the Hawks, Adam Bowser singled to center, plating Topp.
In the bottom of the seventh, senior Jason Twomley (Fitchburg, Mass.) forced a walk. The Hawks benefited from a 1-6 double play as a bunt was caught in the air by the pitcher, who then fired to second base for a double play. After that play, Twomley stole second base and advanced to third as the throw rolled into the outfield. Sophomore Bryan Adamski (South Deerfield, Mass.) then doubled to right center, plating Twomley to add to UMass' lead, 6-3.
For the third time of the game, Hartford responded with more runs in the next half inning. Bowser started the inning with a single through the left side. Ryan Cuscovitch then doubled down the left field line and the ball rolled enough to score Bowser. Ryan Crowley continued the rally with a single up the middle, which advanced Cuscovitch to third. A ground out to second scored Cuscovitch and made the score 6-5. Trahan then stepped to the plate, and took a pitch deep over the left field wall to give the Hawks the lead, and the win.
Pete Moraski threw 3.0 innings and allowed just two hits in earning the win for the Hawks. Twomley extended his hitting streak to nine games, as he went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Garrity went 2-for-2 with a pair of walks and a run scored in the loss.
UMass looks to bounce back this weekend when it hosts Duquesne in a three-game series. A doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 9, and then the finale is set for Sunday at noon.

Sure, some people may have reasons for suicide that seem silly, but giving them **** for it has a much larger chance of reaffirming their view that suicide is what they need to do rather than convincing them otherwise.
If you know someone who is thinking about suicide and it's obvious, it's them saying "help me" to whoever will listen and what do they get? "Suck it up."
Yup, peachy.
Also take into account that different people have different thresholds for physical and emotional pain. Also, consider that just because something works for one person doesn't mean that it can work for everyone. People find strength in different ways, and telling them to suck it up isn't going to help a lot of people... it could even make things WORSE for them and lead them to this very end.
Slag off with that. I've dealt with MANY people who were on the verge of suicide, and some of them really needed a kick in the pants to get them to wake up(my close friend it required a punch in the nose to wake him up). Look at the THIRD SENTENCE in that post. I start with compassion, and finding out what their issue is. My "suck it up" is my frustration about the reasons some give for wanting to kill themselves. So far the majority of the "excuses" people give are just them over-inflating smaller issues. Sure it sucks to lose a family member. My sister was more of a mother to me than my real mother, as she was the one raising me. Her murder at the hands of some rapist affected me, I won't lie. But adding to the death count solves nothing, and is just me being selfish.
too many people think that the only way to handle them is to coddle them. Not true. In several cases you actually have to force them to realize that they are much better off than they realize. But again. Take it on a case by case basis. You can't come up with some easy to define slogan like "Temporary problem solved in a permanent way" to define the millions of different people out there. Some really need medication to handle the emotional crap that's killing them on the inside. I've seen a few of them. I volunteer with counselors and victim advocates. One of the toughest women I met was a rape survivor who actually had her throat cut. Even as tough as she was, she admitted that she needs help. If you want a slogan, Suck it up is better than the temporary problem line. If you want to help a person who is suicidal for real? Seek out professional help.

Book review by Sarah Trubnick.
Argentine wine is an interesting subject for a book at this point in time. The wine industry in Argentina is currently witnessing a renovation and redefinition, with many wineries focusing on the potential for exportation. This burgeoning fine wine industry has caught the eyes of many throughout the international world of wine, and the quality to price ratio of many wines is exceedingly attractive. These points, along with the coincidental fact that I am presently here in Mendoza, led me to a reading of Laura Catena's Vino Argentino in the hopes of gleaning a bit of additional knowledge about the wine country surrounding me.
Laura Catena is the daughter of the legendary Nicolas Catena, the man credited with almost single-handedly rejuvenating Argentina's wine industry. Though the Catena family had been growing grapes and making wine in the Mendoza area for three generations, Nicolas became infected with the idea to produce export-oriented wines after a very influential visit to Napa Valley in the 1980's. With careful research and planning and a shrewd business sense Catena quickly transformed his estate from bulk wine production to fine wine production and grew his holdings to encompass many new vineyards. He brought some of the best-known winemakers and consultants to Argentina for the first time, such as Michel Rolland, Robert Mondavi, and Paul Hobbs. Since the 80's a dramatic change has swept the industry from Salta to Patagonia, and most aggressively in Mendoza.
As a member of the illustrious Catena clan, Laura is a born Argentine wine expert. Educated in Biology at Harvard University, she has the background to understand not only the culture of wine but the science of terroir as well. These credentials certainly qualify her to write a book on Argentine wines and led me to high expectations about the quality of its content even before reading the praise she received from Dr. Jay Miller of the Wine Advocate, who wrote: "Anyone heading to Argentina, and particularly to the wine country, should be carrying a copy of this terrific volume."
The book begins with an interesting introduction that discusses the important role wine has played in the lives of Argentines throughout history, offers a profile of the Argentine people, and gives a general description of Argentina's appellations. Here the author presents her goal: "Vino Argentino is an insider's travelogue to the Argentine wine country." The first chapter then lays out the historical foundations for Argentina's ascendancy as a wine region. In a short space Catena covers a history of the region's grapes, the waves of immigration that transformed the country and when and why they occurred, a look into the specific terroir of Argentina and why it is very beneficial to vine growing, and finally some specific notes on the country's rather unique lack of certain pests and diseases and the factors which prevented their spread.
Despite this strong beginning, the book flounders after the first chapter. Chapter two is entitled "Argentine Food and the European Immigrant Tradition," but strangely it seems only to focus on the native peoples and Catena's influence in the country. The following nine chapters offer a brief history of each of the Argentine wine appellations, what makes them unique, and which wineries to visit, paving the way for the introduction of the characters Catena deems the most influential of each region. But those with any knowledge of Argentina and its wide variety of wine producers will be greatly disappointed to see that the book mostly deals with the largest, export-driven producers.
Catena makes little to no mention of the many boutique wineries that make Argentina's wine regions so colorful and rich. Wineries such as CarinaE, Fincas Don Martino, and Bodega Sur de los Andes, all of which consistently produce delicious highly rated wines, are completely left out. The absence of such producers ultimately undermines the entire premise of the book, making everything after the first 30 pages seem like an advertisement for the elite of the Argentine wine industry. Everything, that is, except for roughly half the content of the book which consists of a list of recipes and definitions for various concepts that are not put into context. The later chapters in particular are poorly structured and somewhat muddled in their purposes. For example in chapter seven, "Luján de Cuyo: Agrelo and Ugarteche," exactly one-half the chapter discusses Catena's winemaker and the Catena Zapata winery, one-third speaks of ungrafted vines (present all throughout Argentina, so I'm not sure why the discussion is held here), and the rest mentions a few other wineries by name with no further discussion of them.
Despite these shortcomings, the book is written in a captivating style. Catena's descriptions of the tree-lined streets of Mendoza, the windswept plains of Patagonia, and the exotic but slow-paced villages of Salta, are sure to enchant. Catena's description of Mendoza as a "landscape of high drama, a vast desert region ringed by mountain peaks... valleys that blossom into lush oases amid dry brush and desert," made me take a second look at my surroundings and appreciate them a bit more.
Vino Argentino touches on the fascinating history and abounding potential of this little-understood corner of the wine world, but fails to characterize it accurately as a whole, or to present a compelling, coherent narrative. I had hoped it might serve as a guide for further exploration of a region that I am coming to know well, but it appears for now I will have to stick with Alan Young's Wine Routes of Argentina which I recommend as the best source of information on the region.

For Allen Ginsberg By X J Kennedy
Ginsberg, Ginsberg, burning bright,
Taunter of the ultra right,
What blink of the Buddha's eye
Chose the day for you to die?
Queer pied piper, howling wild,
Mantra-minded flower child,
Queen of Maytime, misrule's lord
Bawling, Drop out! All aboard!
Finger-cymbaled, chanting Om,
Foe of fascist, bane of bomb,
Proper poets' thorn-in-side,
Turner of a whole time's tide,
Who can fill your sloppy shoes?
What a catch for Death. We lose
Glee and sweetness, freaky light,
Ginsberg, Ginsberg, burning bright.

Downtown Napa's Stave Wine Lounge closing its doors
There will soon be one less place to enjoy a glass of wine in downtown Napa as Stave Wine Lounge plans to shut down. The reasons Stave gave for the closure were "…our lease is up, we now have two kids and a winery to grow."
It's too bad it never really caught-on because the Enomatic wine tasting machines were certainly a unique addition to downtown Napa. While sad, those of you bargain hunters out there may want to drop by as all wines in stock are presently 20% off.

Twitter can be a dangerous place to express yourself. Atlanta singer CeeLo Green recently found out the hard way.
As a result of his douche bag tweet regarding rape, CeeLo's show "The Good Life" has been canceled. The TBS show had low ratings. However, it was CeeLo's comments that ultimately caused the network to say "Forget You" to CeeLo.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, a women's rights group called Ultra Violet had petitioned TBS to cancel the show. I'm sure The Good Life would be canceled without any outside pressure. The network does not want to be associated with such bad publicity.
The comments in question refer to CeeLo's views on what constitutes rape. In 2012 he was accused of slipping Ectasy to a woman. He was charged with sexual assault and felony drug possession. Per Perez Hilton CeeLo was acquitted of the assault charge but plead guilty to the dug charge. This didn't sit well with CeeLo's fans. They accused him of getting away with rape. CeeLo retorted by tweeting "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! So WITH implies consent… People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!! Don't be dismissive now engage me for the truth! You can't just say regardless in a court of law… so if I TRIED but did NOT succeed but the person said I DID then what really happened?"
What a bunch of crap! CeeLo should want to be a better role model for his grandchildren and fans. He has since apologized for his comments. He tweeted "I truly and deeply apologize for the comments attributed to me on Twitter. Those comments were idiotic, untrue and not what I believe." Perhaps CeeLo tweeted out of anger. Not for nothing, but there is no excuse for spewing such crap!!!
You can see CeeLo when The Voice on NBC beginning September 22.

Coffee lover? You may have to give up the caffeine but don't give up coffee. Lifestyle Examiner has just tried a product from the nyakio kenyan coffee collection. The product is called the "kenyon coffee face polish". Inside are: a fusion of kenyan coffee extract, jojoba and natural oils. It is meant to exfoliate your skin. It's important to slough off the old, dead skin cells. As we grow older, our skin's ability to do this naturally tapers off and it needs a boost. The kenyon coffee face polish has small particles that gently roughen the outer layer of "deadbeat" skin cells and are stimulated to create new skin—it also gives you that smooth, slightly rosy glow.
Lifestyle Examiner says that we have used our sample of nyakio in the kenyan coffee face polish and we like it very much. It is an exfoliator which helps to clean pores and gently slough off dead skin cells so your face looks fresh and helps to regenerate new skin.
This product is very nice and based on an interesting story: Nyakio's grandmother worked on her sustainable coffee farm, and after spending the day outdoors under the sun, she would boil down coffee beans with honey and apply the grounds to her skin using a sugarcane rod to exfoliate and soften her skin.
In this case, grandmother knows and shares the secret to better looking skin, check it out.
Approx. $34. http://www.nyakio.com/store/shop/Kenyan%20Coffee%20Collection_Kenyan%20Coffee%20Face%20Polish_prodnk1002

Laura Mercier is a world-renowned makeup artist and creator of Laura Mercier Cosmetics, Skincare, Body & Bath, and Fragrance. Raised in Provence, Laura began her training at age 17 when she entered painting school in Paris. After deciding to shift her talents from the canvas to the face, Laura attended the Carita School where she specialized in makeup application. Now a jet-setter and celeb favorite, her line is now available in almost 1,122 stores in 27 countries at stores including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Sephora and many others.
The product Lifestyle Examiner tried is from the Laura Mercier Crème Brûlée collection. This is a body butter (retails for $35). The smell very much reminds us of sugar cookies or a warm vanilla flan. Once on the skin—and we apply it when we are just slightly wet and fresh from the shower—and it melts into the skin quickly. It has all the things a healthy skin needs such as: Shea Butter, Illipe Butter, Grape Seed Oil and Jojoba Esters work to moisturize and hydrate the skin, while Honey and Aloe Vera help to soothe.
The value is good in that the tube is quite generous and we look forward to continued use and improvement in skin texture over the winter.

text: The New York Times' Carolyn Marshall does an admirable job of refereeing in her latest story, about a pending lawsuit between parents from the Calvary Chapel Christian School, in Murrieta, California, and the University of California, over a set of Christian-themed courses taught at Calvary that weren't certified as acceptable foundation courses for students applying to U.C. Balancing the official line from U.C. representatives — that classes like "Special Provenance: Christianity and the American Republic" are too biased or narrow to provide students with the proper level of subject understanding necessary to enter U.C. — and that of the Christian litigants — that such a refusal of certification amounts to "viewpoint discrimination" and "government censorship" of religion — Marshall sketches out the drama that's scheduled for court-time on December 10th. Marshall lets the parents of Calvary hang themselves (or at least hang their cause as somewhat hysterical) with their own rope — submitting a biology textbook that admits to placing science "second"; claiming God is now as endangered in Christian academies as He ever has been in public schools — in a way that makes the case for overreaction better than any editorializing could.

Cel-shaded skins?
Are there any cel-shaded skins available for Jedi Academy? I'm looking specifically for ones from like the Clone Wars animated shorts, but anything along those lines would be really cool.
Hey, Merlinus, psyk0sith made some models, they're on JK3files and PCGAMEMODS, so...
The way those were made was with the mesh, there is a second mesh of the model that has the normals flipped and then is textured black, then it uses the push modeler and makes it slightly larger than the main mesh--makes it look like it has lines from any angle-so that is the only way to get a cel shaded model in JKA
That's really clever, to this know-nothing at least, and they look amazing.

Celebrate winter cycling at the Coldest Day of the Year Ride!
On Sat, Feb 1 ride with Cycle Toronto from Queen's Park to Dufferin Grove Park, where there will be a small campfire set up next to the skating rink. The group will depart at 12:15pm from Queen's Park at Hoskin Ave
Bring your skates and a reusable mug for campfire hot chocolate, or bring a thermos with your own hot drink. Dufferin Grove Park's Zamboni Cafe also has hot chocolate, snacks, and $2 skate rentals.
It's easy to stay in the saddle year round! With the right equipment and friendly company, there's no reason to put your bike in the basement when winter hits. During a typical Toronto winter, blizzards or ice storms are the exception, not the rule. Most cyclists legitimately avoid travel during extreme conditions. On any other winter day, though, cycling obstacles are not snow and ice, but rather cold temperatures and wind. By dressing well and having the right amount of determination, year-round cyclists can enjoy using their bikes while feeling comfortable and warm.
BIXI Special
Don't have a bike available for the ride? No problem! All BIXI bikes will be given free extra usage time from 12pm to 4pm. There is a BIXI dock at Queen's Park where you can check your BIXI in before the ride. There are also have limited reservations to test a BIXI bike for free on this ride. Reserve yours by emailing email@example.com by Thurs Jan 30. Thanks to BIXI Toronto for supporting this ride!

Patricia Lowe de Parets, 72, and her husband, Miguel, 76, are often trapped in their downtown home on Avenida Menendez street.
Their house, built in 1840, does not have a driveway or a garage, and they are forced to use on-street parking. The Parets compete with business employees, tourists and other downtown residents for a parking spot in front of their house.
"We're held captive during the weekends because if we leave, we can't find another parking place," Patricia said.
Their complaints recently prompted City Commissioners to look at a residential parking decal program for 23 spots on the west side of Avenida Menendez, just north of the Florida National Guard Headquarters. This trial plan would allow only city residents to park there.
With the decal system, residents would have to show they live in the city and pay an annual fee to receive a decal they put in their cars. This would give them exclusive access to parking spaces on certain streets in the city.
The decal system is part of the city's seven-point trans-portation plan, said John Regan, city chief operations officer, which includes the construction of the Visitor Information Center parking garage, to be completed in June 2006.
"We are trying to solve the traffic blight in downtown St. Augustine," Regan said.
Though the city's Parking and Traffic Committee wants to use Avenida Menendez as a pilot program for residential decals, some commissioners have said they want decals to be administered now in other areas as well.
"We can always modify at a later date, but I don't think we can stand still on this," Mayor George Gardner said.
"(Avenida Menendez is) a small enough area, we think it won't hurt to begin it now, but for the entire program we should wait until the VIC (parking garage is open)," Regan said. "Otherwise it will just compress parking even more."
Parets is overjoyed that city staff is even discussing her area for the parking decal pilot program.
"I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime, but I think it's going to happen," she said. "(My husband and I) have bad knees and we have to pull up illegally to our house just to unload groceries."
She said her neighbors also either don't have a garage or they a have a one-car garage that's hard to park in because it faces Marine Street, a very narrow road.
"People will park and leave their cars (in front of our house) for days," she said. "Recreational vehicles park here and I wake up watching someone dressing."
Though Parets lives just a few blocks from downtown businesses, she feels the city should address residents' needs for parking.
"It's a matter of are you going to please the tourists or please the residents that live here and pay taxes," she said. "We support the businesses, too."
Several issues must be worked out with the residential decals, such as defining who is a resident and how much a decal should cost.
Commissioners have recommended city staff submit an official ordinance on the decals to be reviewed during its regular meeting March 14.

A collection of flower photographs.
The pdf preview is cropping these images which completely destroys the impact of the photographs. The techs at blurb are working on fixing this glitch. I will have a complete collection of these and other images on my web site soon.
I am a working commercial photographer with over 20 years of experience. Part of the reason for my longevity in this business is my ability to listen to my clients and make thier visions a reality. The work in my Flowers project (this is ongoing) is strictly by me, for me, with no outside art direction. I hope others enjoy viewing the work as much as I enjoy producing it.

Stunning court filing claims 'shakedown' by Swallow, Shurtleff
"Shurtleff and Swallow and their associates then shook Jenson down, enriching themselves and their friends with over $200,000 in payments and other benefits from Jenson between 2007 and 2010."
The allegations also include what is described as Jenson's "precarious" situation in the state prison system after Jenson told reporters about his dealings with Swallow and Shurtleff, including trips to a Southern California resort at his expense.
Jenson was recently put into protective custody "to ensure his life and safety," according to the filing. Mumford said Jenson has been transferred from the Utah State Prison to the the Davis County Jail, but the situation raises "concerns and questions about who was responsible for putting him in harm's way."
Court documents state that on June 4, Jenson was unexpectedly transferred to a prison housing unit for serious offenders and was with a "dangerous inmate with gang affiliations." After an attorney expressed concerns saying she "feared for Mr. Jenson's life," he was transferred to Davis County.
Asked if Swallow had anything to do with Jenson's situation in prison, Snow said he knew nothing about that. "I don't think so. Generally if a prisoner is moved, it's at his own request," Snow said. "I don't believe it would have anything to do with this story."
The court documents also state that the attorney general's office "either extorted or aided and/or abetted in the extortion" of Jenson. Jenson paid more than $200,000, according to the filing, including more than $122,000 to Tim Lawson, a self-described "fixer" who worked for Shurtleff.
That amount did not include expenses incurred by Swallow, Shurtleff and Lawson that were charged to Jenson, the filing said. Jenson has described for reporters trips taken by Swallow and Shurtleff to a posh Newport Beach resort at his expense.
Swallow's attorney, Snow, said it's not true that Swallow received any money from Jenson, just a few free nights at the resort.
"That's it. We would be shocked if Shurtleff got any money," Snow said.
Swallow and Shurtleff were taking advantage of the "weird relationship" they had with Jenson, according to the filing, because after he entered into a plea in abeyance on an earlier case, he was motivated "to comply with requests for money and favors" by Shurtleff and Swallow.
The demands on Jenson became "increasingly problematic," the court documents state, including that he raise $2 million "for a stranger in violation of the terms of his plea" and that he buy a "large volume" of a book that Shurtleff wrote "without even accepting delivery as a way to put Shurtleff money."
Also, the filing said Jenson was told to ask one of his employees to get then-U.S. Attorney Brent Tolman to back off of an investigation into Shurtleff. The employee, Paul Nelson, said in the filing he was asked by Lawson to contact Tolman, a relative.
Nelson, who handled security for Jenson until 2011, said in the filing that Lawson told him "that it would be very good for Mr. Jenson and suggested that if I did, a way could be found to drop the state's case against Mr. Jenson without having to pay the $4 million in restitution" owed as part of the plea in abeyance.
If he didn't contact the U.S. attorney, Nelson alleges that he was told "things could get worse, including a potential investigation into Mount Holly." Tolman, Nelson said in the filing, did not respond to a text message about the situation.
Swallow is currently the subject of federal, state and local investigations on a variety of allegations, including that he helped broker a deal for an indicted St. George businessman attempting to halt a federal investigation into his company.
On Wednesday, GOP House members will meet for three hours to discuss whether to begin impeachment proceedings against Swallow, a fellow Republican who took office in January.
Swallow served as Shurtleff's chief deputy and raised money for the former attorney general's past campaigns. Swallow has said repeatedly he has done nothing wrong and that the allegations are politically motivated.
"If I had anything to hide," Swallow said recently, "I wouldn't be sitting here in this office right now. I would do the quote unquote honorable thing, if I had done something that wrong, and I would leave my office."

(BlackDoctor.org) — If you suffer from eczema, it may seem that your problems get worse in the winter. You may figure it has something to do with the weather. You could be right because cold, dry air can play a role in flare ups. But, then again, the weather may not be the only changes that have occurred and what you are doing could be causing more problems than the low temperatures.
Outdoor Activities
Warm seasons are generally associated with outdoor activities, but some people spend a lot of time outside in the fall and winter. Those who work outdoors probably have little choice. Then, there are household tasks such as tending to fall gardens, raking leaves, and shoveling snow, that also needs to be done. There are also activities that you may want to do, such as sledding, ice skating, and attending football games.
What you need to realize is that the more time you spend outside, the more you increase your chances of aggravating your eczema, especially if you don't take measure to counteract the conditions you are exposing yourself to.
On a blustery day, when you have been on the go, a hot shower or bath can seem like a savior, feeling as if its warmth reaches to your soul. But, when you have eczema, what actually happens with those hot showers is that you spend the season drying out your skin and robbing it of nutrients. Even when the temperatures drop, you need to keep your bathing water warm. It also becomes increasingly important to use a moisture rich body cleanser.

Otero County Director of Public Works Lex Nichols had a full agenda of special use permits and use by review items at Monday's meeting. A delegation from Front Range Pipeline was present at the meeting to hear their pumping station reviewed.
Nichols reviewed the special use permit allowing a natural gas liquids pump station and electrical substation to operate the pumps in a fragile lands zoned district (A-2) for Front Range Pipeline. The pump station is now operating, said Nichols, and all construction is completed, including some revegetation, with only a little painting left to be completed. Representing Front Range Pipeline at the meeting were Jeff McGuire, Peter Cornish, Mike Todd, Robb Plehn and Joey Krantz. They reassured the county that, although there is no one stationed at the location of the pump, there is a full crew here. The station is manned remotely by satellite, but there is help always available in case of trouble. The commissioners approved the site.
A special use permit was granted to Diego Ortega for a small fruit stand at his residence and small farm, 18715 County Road EE.5, Rocky Ford. Blayne D. Gallatin is granted a special use permit allowing a non-HUD school building to be used as a residence at 18461 County Road EE.25, Rocky Ford.
A periodic review for special use permit allowing horses in a residential zoned district was granted to Cristion A. and Marcia M. Menz at 1100 Hopkins Ave., Rocky Ford. A similar periodic review continued the special use permit for allowing animals in a residential zoned district was approved for Kenneth W. Newens at the site of the former veterinary office at 2917 San Juan, La Junta.
A zoning change request from part agricultural/part commercial to full commercial was granted to The State Bank for a property commonly addressed as 18332 Highway 50, Rocky Ford. There is a potential customer for the property who wants to build a storage facility. However, Commissioner Kevin Karney cautioned that the Department of Transportation has to be consulted if an increase in traffic is noted.
