College Hockey:Prudden Breakaway Gives UNH Sweep Over BU
Caron Adds Two, Ayers Sharp
BOSTON — While the rest of New England basked in the glow of the Patriots advancing to the Super Bowl, New Hampshire fans savored the completion of a weekend sweep over Boston University.
Unlike Friday's night's dominating 6-1 win at the Whittemore Center, Sunday's see-saw contest remained deadlocked until a Josh Prudden breakaway goal at 17:01 provided the game-winner in a 5-3 win. Defenseman Garrett Stafford made a terrific pass through center ice to spring the junior for his second goal of the evening.
"Right now, [Prudden] is playing as well as anybody for us," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "He's real strong on the puck and he made a great move fighting off the backchecker to make the move to put it in the net. He's playing tremendous."
With BU doing an excellent job of controlling the country's top scorer, Darren Haydar, until an empty-netter with one second remaining, Prudden and freshman Ed Caron picked up the scoring slack with two goals apiece.
Goaltender Michael Ayers made numerous big saves in crunch time, including one on Pat Aufiero with 29 seconds remaining.
"I didn't see it," said Umile with a grin. "I've got the worst seat in the house. At that point, I think I was just closing my eyes and waiting to see if the cheers came or what.
"[But] the kid is playing great. We've got all the confidence in the world in him."
Combined with a 1-1 tie earlier in the season at Walter Brown Arena, the UNH weekend sweep gives the Wildcats five-of-six points on the season series. New Hampshire (19-4-2, 11-2-2 HEA) now leads Hockey East by four points over Maine, although the Black Bears hold one game in hand.
"We obviously had a fabulous weekend beating BU two games in the weekend," said Umile. "That's a great weekend, especially here. We're excited to get four points."
Boston University (14-7-2, 8-5-2 HEA) remains in third place in Hockey East after the loss, one point ahead of UMass-Lowell. Although the Terriers played well through much of the first two periods, they surrendered their 3-2 lead early in the third and never led again.
"[UNH] had five breakaway goals against us this weekend, including the winning goal," said BU coach Jack Parker. "That's pretty stupid hockey….
"We played real well through the third period then we got unbelievably jumpy…. The lack of poise through center ice with the puck was appalling.
"A lot of that has to do with how good UNH is. They took five out of a possible six points against us this year. There's no question who the best team in the league is as far as we're concerned. They looked pretty sharp to me."
New Hampshire grabbed the first-period lead at 5:49 on a Prudden power-play goal. Tyson Teplitsky fired a shot from the point that was blocked, but Steve Saviano got the loose puck and slid it back to the defenseman. BU goaltender Sean Fields stopped Teplitsky's next salvo, but Prudden put the rebound into the open side of the net.
BU didn't respond until the final minute of the period, but netted two in the span of 40 seconds. The first came at 19:10 and not without some controversy. Frantisek Skladany shot and Gregg Johnson crashed the net hard into the crease. The puck appeared to go off him and went either an inch over the line or just barely short of that before goaltender Ayers pulled it back. Referee John Gravellese, standing behind the net, initially seemed disinclined to signal the goal, but as the goal light belatedly came on behind him and BU players argued for the call, Gravellese gave the signal and the game was tied.
Freddy Meyer gave the Terriers a 2-1 lead 40 seconds later when he took a perfect pass from Mike Pandolfo into the slot and beat Ayers five hole.
UNH drew back even at 2:44 of the second period on a similarly pretty pass by Justin Aikins to send Ed Caron in on a breakaway. The 6-3, 220-pound giant made a finesse deke that a 5-8, 160-pounder would have been proud of to beat Fields and make it a 2-2 game.
The deadlock lasted until the 7:36 mark when John Sabo put in a loose puck from the right side of the net.
Both sides then had their chances, the best of which were a Skladany breakaway for BU and a great Stafford pass to Colin Hemingway on the far post. The two goaltenders, however, made the big stops to keep it a 3-2 game going into the third period.
Caron evened the game at 2:08 of the third on a pure power forward play, bodying Bryan Miller off the play, picking up the puck behind the BU net and beating Fields five hole on the wraparound.
The stage was then set for Prudden's heroics, although not without Ayers first making tough saves on Pandolfo, Skladany and Magowan between UNH's tying goal and the game-winner.
Both teams go on the road for the next two games. BU makes the short trip to North Andover for Wednesday and Friday games against Merrimack prior to the Beanpot. New Hampshire travels to Maine to take on the second-place Black Bears.

East Davidson student cited for marijuana possession
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
An East Davidson High School student was charged Wednesday with having marijuana inside a vehicle.
Sydney Leigh Crisp, 16, of 222 Ellis Court, Thomasville, was charged by citation with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is scheduled to appear March 26 in Lexington District Court.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office school resource officer and K-9 Halley performed a random search of the student parking lot at East Davidson about 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to a press release. Halley alerted to the presence of the odor of narcotics on a student's vehicle.
The SRO alleges he found less than one-half ounce of marijuana and a smoking pipe inside the vehicle.

Aaron "DMX†Briley Interview
Well, well, well ... Look what I found!
Aaron "DMX†Briley Interview
http://www.onthemat.com/xcart/article_image.php?article=232&image=1Star of Dengue Fever and International Man of Mystery....
03.31.03 Aaron "DMX†Briley Interview Author: Grapplecaunpage 1 page 2 next>>
OTM: we are sitting here with Aaron Briley it's Saturday march 15 first off we want to congratulate you on the win at Copa Pacifica and getting your brown belt, That was a crazy flying triangle!
Yeah yeah that came to a surprise to a lot of people. It was fun!
OTM: Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? Age, Name, favorite ice cream, and my roommate Sara wants to know, boxers or briefs?
My name is Aaron Briley, I'm 25, I have been training about 12 and a half years, been in martial arts since I was about 12 but I've been training Jui Jitsu for 6 and a half years. I train now with Jean Jacques Machado and my favorite ice cream flavor is macadamia brittle by hagaan daaz. Ummn and I wear boxer briefs, to answer Denise aka Sara's question.
OTM: How did you discover Jiu Jitsu?
I was already in the martial arts for a while and I saw the first UFC and actually had read about Royce Gracie before that so when UFC first came out I ordered it. And I went to part 2nd one in Denver
OTM: You actually went to the 2nd one?
Yes I actually went there
OTM: Must have been great! Have you ever used your Jui Jitsu talents in bed and did you make her tap?
uh, well even though I don't kiss and tell… I'll tell you right now, yes, actually it wasn't a tap it was a verbal submission
OTM: How long have u been training and under whom?
Been training about 6 and half yrs. I first started with Rickson Gracie now Jean Jacques
OTM: And you said you trained other martial arts?
Used to. Tae kwon do, karate, boxing, kick boxing, wing chun, I pretty much touched just about everything, kali. But in the last 8-9 yrs I focused more on grappling. I wrestled in high school and after high school I went straight to Jui Jitsu.
OTM: Do you think any of these helped out your j game?
haha yea, I think wrestling did for sure Yeah I think just wrestling. Some of the other Martial arts actually compliment j, but j itself is pretty unique and I don't think too many Martial Arts have the elements to… I mean your timing yes, some other forms of martial arts can get your discipline and training discipline together. Some other arts can help you but as far as grappling, hands down just JJ.
OTM: How do you prepare for your tournaments?
I go through a pretty strict diet plan I cut all the fats I just pretty much eat my protein shakes and all the supplements. I do cardio, run, strength training, I take it very serious. I train hard.
OTM: have you ever passed gas while sparring with someone and did it make them tap?
hmm, good question very deep. Actually I have done that a few times. It was kind of some of those silent but violent ones right, so I got the chance to blame it on someone else.
OTM: Who do you look up to in this sport?
I look up to of course JJ Machado, Rickson. Not to mention most of the Americans who have paved the way Dave Camarillo, BJ Penn, and Matt Serra. Just for being Americans and being able to beat the some Brazilians.
OTM: Do you think some of those guys might have passed gas and made their opponents tap?
Ummmn… no comment. Uh probably.
OTM: Do you think it was possible that bad gas can make an opponent tap?
Well um, maybe if they had nerve gas or something . I think they (the opponent) would have to be pretty soft to tap to that.
OTM: Where would you like to see you j game go from here?
From here I would like to train hard, just stay focused on training hard and getting ready for the tournaments coming up. If I Had to make some plans I would like to teach one day and down the road I might experiment with some MMA.
OTM: That was my next question. Do you have any desire to venture into MMA?
Sure, its def in the back of my mind but I am not prepared for anything right now I'm sure down the road it will be a great test of my JJ skills
OTM: What is the longest you've gone without washing your Gi? Did the stink of it make your opponent tap?
At one point I only had one Gi which means I didn't have enough money to buy a 2nd Gi, maybe training twice a day, I don't know maybe 3 days 4 days?
OTM: did the stink make the guy tap?
It didn't make him tap but he definitely complained a lot
OTM: Did you think it gave you an advantage?
Ummmn, maybe.
OTM: Do you prefer no Gi to Gi?
No, I have no preference I think the whole reason I started JJ was to be able to fight. It wasn't the sport aspect of it. I am defenetly comfortable with no Gi if I had a chance to train more no Gi I would. No Gi is fun, the Gi is fine
OTM: No preference then?

03.31.03 Aaron "DMX†Briley Interview Author: Grapplecaun[URL=http://www.onthemat.com/articles/Aaron_DMX_Briley_Interview_04_01_2003.html][=#ffd016]< Well with JJ after so many years your nuts just move out of the way bye themselves. I have actually stopped a couple times there was some nut cracking!
OTM: What are you most proud of when it comes to you JJ? Maybe competition wins or….
Not so much the winning part but the fact that I keep on learning, I keep progressing, I don't think I have hit plateau where I can't learn anymore. Just the fact that I keep on improving is what I am most proud of.
OTM: So your constant improvement is what your most proud of?
Exactly! There is no real accomplishment. If I win a tournament or I lose what's the point? I'm just glad I'm able to improve. Sometimes you do to a tournament and there are so many different variables that can be involved in the outcome of the fight. Could be a bad ref or a bad day so it is hard to base it all on your accomplishments but I think just as long as you are improving everyday, that makes me happy
OTM: I understand you trained in Brazil, where and for how long?
I trained in Rio de Janeiro, under Carlos Gracie JR, at Gracie Barra, 4 months.
OTM: So are the women there as amazing as everyone likes to say?
Yes and then some, "Gostosaâ€
OTM: Any luck with the ladies when you were down there?
Yea, I was a pretty lucky guy a couple times! You can also check that out in Dengue Fever, that pretty much sums it up
OTM: That pretty much says it all, so go and buy dengue fever huh?
OTM: Another question from my roommate Sara, do you prefer booty to breasts?
Interesting… Actually like to keep a balance between the 2, the booty has to be there, breasts not so much the booty. I'm more a total package guy, I like them more on the athletic tip. Know what I mean.
OTM: Rumor has it you trained down there (Brazil) and you made Scotty (from OTM) your bitch, is this true?
uhh, no hahaha, no. No comment
OTM: So who were some of your toughest opponents? Anyone we may know?
When I was in Brazil?
OTM: In general
I think there are a lot of tough guys; the toughest guys I've trained with have to be Jean Jacques Machado and Rickson Gracie of course. Then when I was in Brazil I got a chance to train with some guys, this guy named Sal.
OTM: No one particular in any tournaments? Any rivalries in your life?
Not yet no those are kind off the tournament circuit. Personal life, nothing you guys know about.
OTM: Anyone in particular you would like to roll with?
I would really like if to have a chance to roll with some of the Americans that are out here. Some more guys in Brazil but no one in particular. I have no major desires to roll with anybody but I would like to see how Jacare from Oswaldo Alves' is.
OTM: Anything you would like to say before you end this interview?
Thanks a lot I would like to thank OntheMat.com for being my sponsor, thank you Cade, Scotty, Gumby, Danny, & everybody else. Hopefully we'll do a Dengue Fever 2 cuz I'm ready!!!
OTM: We look forward to seeing you at the Pan Ams.
Ok thanks a lot.

Jonathan Acuff Betrays America with Anti-Christian Article
I could only wish I was the Lord and Savior right now, because I would have a big red button on my throne and immediately cast all sinners into HELL!
Thank God you traiterous stiffnecks that I cannot be the judge of all for a day, because every second in your life that you use to betray America and God, I would make unto infinity of torture unto you!
America was founded as a Christian nation. Our monies says In GOD We Trust. Our pledge of allegiance to our American flag says we are One nation, under GOD! We are Christians and our Constitution proves the point!
There is no job in America more important than the media. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchers?
Well my friends, it is supposed to be the media, so that means Christians in media are the most trustworthy and therefore most important!
So how sad is it that on his article, a professing Christian named Jonathan Acuff has caused my anger to be riled and therefore you can only imagine God's wrath is boiling over and sizzling the oven burners! Look at these words from his blog masquerading as journalism. He has entitled this Why Are Christians Jerks Online and accuses all of us Christians of being "jerks" and "mean" with our articles when I only preach love for everyone: Look at this hellbound savage written nonsense from this turncoat, gayfont liberal tallywhacker! Look!:
Why Are Christians Jerks Online
So then why are there so many hateful Christian blogs? Why do Christians write bitter messages on Twitter? Why do we send hate mail?
I think there are two reasons Christians are jerks online.
1. The business traveler approach.
It's unfortunately not that uncommon for business travelers to get in trouble when they're on the road. With a "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" approach they tend to do things they would never do at home. "The rules don't apply here. I'm a different person. This is 'road me,' not 'home me.'" I believe sometimes Christians approach the Internet the same way. The rules of "real life" don't count. Sure, I have to love my neighbor, but are people on Facebook my neighbor? The Internet doesn't "count." These are just words. Surely I can throw a missile of hate at someone on Twitter. And when we buy into this logic, we develop an unloving, anything goes, whatever happens online stays online mentality. We become two different people, "Offline Christian" and "Online Christian." And we become jerks.
2. Room Cleaning Christianity
Why do Christians argue about drinking beer or why the tankini is the least slutty of all bathing garments? I think it's because we sometimes practice "Room Cleaning Christianity." Think of it like college. When you've got a final paper due Monday, you will be amazed at how energetic your desire is to clean your room. You will scrub tile with a slow toothbrush if it means avoiding the bigger, more difficult work of writing your paper. The same thing happens with Christianity. Loving your neighbor might be simple, but it's not easy. Maybe my neighbor is a jerk too. Maybe they hate God. Maybe they are actively and violently opposed to everything I believe. And showing them grace feels impossible. So instead of dealing with that, we get online and police people. We find small things to focus on that will distract us. I think God wants us to discuss the little stuff, but we make it an idol when we practice room cleaning Christianity at the exclusion of love. And we tend to become jerks.
Hopefully you've never experienced either of these things. Hopefully this article feels like Amish Romance Fiction, currently a hit amongst Christians. But if it doesn't, if you've been an online jerk, if you've acted like I have, there's hope.
Jesus came for the mess-ups like us. Jesus came for the failures. Jesus came for the jerks. (That's not in the King James version of the Bible, I remixed it like Timbaland.) And the truth is, grace is the antidote to being a jerk online.
So my hope is that you won't prove my point in the comments section. My hope is you'll accept my apology for the times I've been a jerk to you online.
My hope is that I'll see Bono in heaven, or at the bare minimum "the Edge."
You can see what's going on here: liberal agenda. Satan loves to veil his agents. This is nothing but the work of a veil wolf in sheep's skin, just like this danged commie Soviets they just found sneaking our secrets on the east coast!
My friends, God has something better than the electric chair for sinners! It is called HELL! There is no off switch and it shall burn all sinners forever! Glory!
Liberals try to accuse Christians of spreading hate, when all I try to do is show everyone God's love and protect them from getting triton dabbled by Satan in the devilwhole for all eternity with hot coals and lava!
So no, Acuff, everyone should thank those who do the hard job of warning all sinners why they must change to how we know they should live, and then even give them examples and help remind them of their wrong sin whore antics!
No one likes a Judas! Turn back to the Lord before it is too late and you join Judas, Benedict Arnold and all other Johny Turncoats who have turned against their God and country with Satanic liberal agendas! Democrats.

Occasionally, we'll get dressed, peer into the mirror, and realize that something is amiss. Sometimes, it's the jewelry. Other times, it's the shoes. And when things are totally and helplessly off, we realize it's just the whole outfit. If we had these Charter Club Slim It Up Straight-Leg Capris ($59), that would never be a problem. They work well by themselves, needing just a cute top to set them off. Don't get us wrong, a nice turquoise bangle would do well with these pants. But for those days when things just aren't meshing, these would be handy to have around.

I have Ross a First Course on Probability and Bertsekas Introduction to probability book. However these two books do not exactly give me what I am looking for.
The problem is Bertsekas book is introductory while Ross book explains expression $E[\ E[X\mid Y] \ ]$ just by briefly saying it is a function of $y$ if I remeber correctly.
I need a probability book which will make me feel comfortable with the symbols and letters rather than ready made formulas. I want to be able grasp when a random variable is a constant or when it is not. I want to be able to read and understand equations involving both random variables and constants and when are interpreted as a rv. when they are not etc.

Senior twin brothers Travis and David Wear enter their final collegiate seasons having played in 94 and 93 games, respectively, during two seasons at UCLA and one year at North Carolina. Junior Norman Powell (68 career games) is UCLA's only other player who has competed in at least 40 collegiate contests.
Steve Alford was named the 13th head coach in UCLA men's basketball program history on March 30, 2013, after six highly-successful seasons as head coach at the University of New Mexico. A former NCAA Champion at Indiana University (1984-87) and starter on the United States' gold medal-winning 1984 Olympic Team, Alford has served as head coach at Manchester College (1992-95), Missouri State (1996-99), Iowa (2000-07) and New Mexico (2008-13).
In six seasons at New Mexico, Alford guided the Lobos to four Mountain West Conference regular-season titles (four in the last five seasons) and back-to-back Mountain West Conference Tournament crowns in 2012 and 2013. The native of New Castle, Ind., inherits a UCLA program that went 25-10 last season, winning the Pac-12 regular-season title with a 13-5 conference mark.
Alford helped New Mexico secure its two highest single-season win totals. The Lobos went 30-5 in 2009-10, setting the school's single-season record, before logging 29 wins in 2012-13. While at Iowa, he led the Hawkeyes to the their only trips to the Big Ten Tournament's title game (tournament began in 1999). Iowa won the Big Ten Tournament crown in 2001 and 2006 and finished as the runner-up in 2002.
UCLA will host a pair of exhibition games against Cal State San Bernardino on Wednesday, Oct. 30, and versus Cal State San Marcos on Monday, Nov. 4. The Bruins will open their regular season against Drexel on Friday, Nov. 8. Last season, the Bruins defeated Cal State San Marcos, 83-60, in an exhibition contest on Dec. 4, 2012. UCLA's upcoming exhibition games will mark the first contests in Pauley Pavilion for new head coach Steve Alford.
UCLA last faced Cal State San Bernardino in an exhibition contest on Nov. 6, 2011, played at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif., as part of the "Bruin Road Show" that season. Backed by Joshua Smith's game-high 26 points, the Bruins earned an 80-72 win against the Coyotes. UCLA won the only regular-season meeting against Cal State San Bernardino, 76-41, in the third game of the 2007-08 season (Nov. 13, 2007). Kevin Love led the Bruins with 19 points and nine rebounds in that game.
Eight games into the regular season last year, UCLA cruised past Cal State San Marcos, 83-60, in an exhibition game in Pauley Pavilion. Shabazz Muhammad led UCLA with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, while Kyle Anderson grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds and added nine points. UCLA did not open its 2012-13 campaign with an exhibition game so that the first true athletic contest played in renovated Pauley Pavilion would be the men's basketball team's regular-season opener.
UCLA will open its 95th basketball season against Drexel on Friday, Nov. 8, in a game televised by Pac-12 Networks at 9 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion. UCLA won the only previous meeting against Drexel, defeating the Dragons by a 57-56 margin at Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 25, 2005. The Bruins have gone 13-7 in their previous 20 season-opening games. Last fall, UCLA opened renovated Pauley Pavilion with an 86-59 victory over Indiana State before a sellout crowd of 13,513. Jordan Adams scored a game-high 21 points in his collegiate debut against the Sycamores.
UCLA head coach Steve Alford won each of his six regular-season openers at New Mexico. In fact, the Bruins' new head coach has led his team to wins in each of his last 15 season-opening games. Alford's teams have not lost a season opener since Nov. 16, 1997, when Missouri State dropped a 78-67 decision at TCU. He has guided his teams to season-opening wins in 17 of 18 seasons at the NCAA Division I level.
UCLA returns 10 players from last season's roster, a group that accounted for 66.5 percent of UCLA's scoring production in 2012-13 and 78.0 percent of the team's rebounding. Returning players accounted for 67.2 percent of the team's total minutes last season. In addition, UCLA welcomes back 89.0 percent of its shot blocking production. UCLA's returning players shot 75.2 percent at the free throw line and 29.8 percent from three-point territory last year.
UCLA was tabbed second out of 12 teams in the annual Pac-12 preseason media poll, as announced at Pac-12 Media Day in San Francisco on Oct. 17. Arizona was picked to finish first in the conference and collected 21 of 23 first-place votes. UCLA and Colorado each secured one first-place vote, finishing second and third, respectively, in the preseason poll. Last season, UCLA was picked to finish second (behind Arizona) and won the conference's regular-season crown. The Bruins have won the Pac-12 regular-season title in four of the last eight seasons and last won the Pac-12 Tournament in March 2008.

Find the probability that $x^2 - 2ax + b$ has complex roots if the coefficients $a$ and $b$ are random variables with the common density
- uniform, that is $1/h$, and
- exponential, that is $ae^{-ax}$
This comes down to finding $P(a^2 \lt b)$. But since $a$ and $b$ are both random variables, would it be $P(a^2\lt b) = P(x\lt k)P(y \lt k^2)$? That doesn't seem particularly correct.

The U2 and Mormonism connection
Mostly untrue
People seem to always be connecting U2 and U2 songs with Mormonism and Utah. Bono, the Edge, Adam and Larry are not LDS and almost all these connections are either flat out false or unverified.
Lets begin with the one and only true one. U2 did name their 1987 album "The Joshua Tree" after a tree-like desert plant that was given its name by Mormon pioneers. So without Mormon pioneers, the album would probably be called something else. That's it. The only real connection.
Now on to some myths. The first one is that their hit single "One" was written about a Mormon girl. Lines in the song like "Love is a temple. Love a higher law" are used to support the myth. Bono has never made this claim. He did describe the song as "a song about coming together, but it's not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is, in fact, the opposite. It's saying, We are one, but we're not the same. It's not saying we even want to get along, but that we have to get along together in this world if it is to survive. It's a reminder that we have no choice."
Another connection that members try to make is that the song "Where the Streets Have No Name" is talking about Utah because the state is known for addressing streets with numbers instead of names. It is not true. Bono was inspired to write the lyrics by the notion that it's possible to identify a person's religion by the street on which they lived, particularly in Belfast, and also their income depending upon the part of the street.

Even though the majority of people committed to the Modern American Libertarian Movement don't see Rand Paul as particularly "libertarian," anti-freedom ideologues are desperately eager to use him as their straw man to vilify the entire Movement.
Writing under a headline that declares Rand Paul in 2016 would be "Great for libertarians, bad for America" Joseph Cotto quickly identifies Paul as "a libertarian icon," "a voice for rigid constitutionalism," "the son of small government godfather Ron Paul," and "the first heir to a libertarian political machine with national teeth."
It's clear, then, that Cotto is stuck in the old familiar left-right political partisanism, likely unaware that while some libertarians may be Rand Paul fans, some may be constitutionalists, some may be small government "minarchists," some may reject politics entirely, and all will be stunned at the idea that there is such a thing as a libertarian "political machine" of any description, Cotto has carefully failed to define libertarians by its essential characteristic: The Zero Aggression Principle.
But Cotto, too timid to do his own dirty work, hides behind surrogate attackers with quotes like this:
"Libertarianism is like socialism: it attracts precocious teenagers but most people grow out of it as they get experience in real politics and see that you can't reduce it all to one thing, not even freedom."
This statement, almost certainly unwittingly, exposes the mindset of the Cottos of the world vs. libertarians; we are all supposed to discourage our children from fighting, bullying and lying – fundamental libertarian principles against coercion, intimidation and fraud – but those same children are expected to "grow out of it as they get experience in real politics" which rests precisely on coercion (fighting), intimidation (bullying) and fraud (lying).
Cotto hides behind other kindred freedom-haters with quotes like "libertarianism is an infantile disorder" and a label that "comes from the Republican Party's pathetic big-government record" even though most libertarians are anti-Republican.
The entire article sounds like desperate wishful thinking, that if you just rant angrily against libertarians, call them names, make up a lot of wildly silly stuff and repeat decades old stereotypes it will all come true and the blind anti-freedom moles can then crawl back into their dark comfortable burrows and chew contentedly on the "free" lunches looted for them from the taxpayers by the ruling classes.
If these people wanted their kids to grow up and enter "real politics" why didn't they just teach them to attack, bully and lie in the first place? At least then they won't become confused hypocrites like their parents.

The Huffington Post Cavan Sieczkowski First Posted: 09/05/12 11:47 AM ET Updated: 09/07/12 12:33 PM ET
When seven-year-old Alana Thompson first uttered, "A dollar makes me holler, Honey Boo Boo," she probably had no idea that it would not only become her catchphrase, but it would also score her and her family a reality series ... and some money. Sources estimate their TLC reality series, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," has earned Alana and her family a salary in the tens of thousands.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that the "Honey Boo Boo" family earns between $2,000 and $4,000 per episode, possibly hitting $40,000 for the 10-episode season, according to sources. THR adds that a small "location fee" might also be paid.
UPDATE: June Shannon, the matriarch of the "Honey Boo Boo" family, spoke with TMZ and "laughed out loud" at THR's report. Though she wouldn't be specific, TMZ claims it was clear the family makes far more than $2,000 to $4,000 per episode.
No doubt, there is a possibility that this salary might get a bump if "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is picked up for a second season.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" has had huge ratings thus far and even scored more viewers among adults 18-49 than the Republican National Convention. The Aug. 29 episode drew nearly 3 million viewers.
TLC has been rumored to pay big salaries to the casts of their biggest shows. Although networks typically do not disclose the deals made with individual families, details about TLC's reality stars' salaries have surfaced.
Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which first aired in 2007, earned $22,500 per episode, Jon told Larry King during an interview with CNN in 2009.
The Duggars of "18 Kids and Counting" are believed to have raked in even more. Reality families usually make a salary 10 percent of a show's per-episode budget, reality producer Terence Michael told E! News back in 2009. He estimated TLC budgeted about $250,000 to $400,000 per episode, which would mean the Duggars earned between $25,000 and $40,000 for four or five days' work.
Now TLC has a new family to cater to.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is a spinoff series from TLC's "Toddler & Tiaras," on which young beauty queen Alana first appeared and hollered for that dollar. The show follows the seven-year-old and her crazy "redneck" family living in Georgia -- "Mama" June, chalk-mining dad "Sugar Bear" and sisters 12-year-old Lauryn "Pumpkin," 15-year-old Jessica "Chubbs" and 17-year-old Anna "Chickadee."
The family has captured the attention of America's viewers. However, the family has not gotten used to "Honey Boo Boo" fame.
"It's kind of like, crazy seeing yourself on TV," June said during an interview with People magazine. "[But] we're just common everyday people."

Tonight, Sunday March 24th, 2013 is the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead Season 3 on AMC. In the episode "This Sorrowful Life", tensions between Woodbury and the Prison are at an all time high. Furthermore, the fate of Andrea(Laurie Holden) is up for grabs as she is thrown into a torture chamber made by The Governor (David Morrissey). Will Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Glen(Steven Yeun), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and the rest save her in time? And what about the offer to give up Michonne(Danai Gurira)? What about Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Merle Dixon(Michael Rooker): how do they fit into everything?
***NOTE: The following continues SPOILERS.***
"This Sorrowful Life" opens with Rick, Herschel (Scott Wilson) and Daryl coming to an agreement in regards to Michonne being given up to The Governor. Naturally Rick doesn't know that The Governor is going renege on his deal and betray them all, but they need another body. So Rick, realizing he needs to make amends with Merle, decides to have a chat with our favorite one-armed Dixon brother.
One of my favorite smaller scenes in the entire show's run, it takes two iconic characters (with a well-know disagreement between the two of them in regards to the definition of 'being left behind) chatting it out with an amazing bit of sub-textual truth to it. For fans of The Walking Dead, a lot of people have taken a shine to Merle, the other Dixon brother to Daryl. Even during his worst, fans somewhat cheered and rooted for him to be something better than he is. And in a way, Rick asks what fans ask Merle and what they ask all characters on shows like The Walking Dead which is: "Do you even know why you do the things you do? The choices you make?"
After some small banter, and the realization that Michonne will keep the group safe, Merle, proud to be in the 'inner-circle' says… ". You go on. Give 'em that girl. He won't kill he, you know. He will do things to her. Prolly take out one of her eyes, both of them probably. You'd do that? For a shot? Whew. You are cold as ice, 'Officer Friendly'."
It was a chilling sequence, where Merle later confessed he didn't know why he did the things he did. He is a mystery even unto himself. But Merle mentions a lack of a spine with Rick. And for the cold-hard stuff, the stuff like giving up another human being to get tortured… well, it's true. Rick is not heartless. Rick's decision further chides him as Michonne goes a step beyond and proves her worth by helping them set-up the Prison for an out-all attack. Rick feels pressure from what he knows deep-down is right and wrong, and the whole giving up Michonne is further called into question. Will Rick continue to go through with this?
As the episode continues with Rick questioning his decision to surrender Michonne, we begin to get a sense that this is about Merle's big moment to shine, if only he knew how. Which further surmises Merle is soon gonna die.* Merle though with the understanding that Michonne is considered part of the group, but at the same time, the group needs "someone to hate", he takes it on himself to 'take care' of Michonne. In his heart of hearts, Merle to me, figures and understands that he will be hated by the group, but if his death and that hatred towards him could save the group and save his brother, then Merle will do it; he will be the Prison group's sacrificial lamb.
(*) - Any character who gets a moment to try to redeem themselves proves in The Walking Dead, it means it is soon their last. I sincerely hoped this to NOT be the case but alas. I was wrong.
Let's be real here: this episode is a pure tour de force of acting for Rooker as Merle Dixon. Let's go a step further: Michael Rooker had us in his pocket since the first appearance of his character in season one of The Walking Dead, and this episode where we see the real toll on Merle's head or should we really say, his heart. Despite his gruff exterior and bad-ass ways* ,Merle never actually killed anyone before until he started working for The Governor.
(*) We as viewers know of the plan that him and Daryl would rob, plunder and murder the group back in Season 1.
In letting Michonne go, Rooker displayed such a wealth of emotions without even dare directly saying what was really in his head. And Merle is too proud to do such a thing. Emmy voters, I beg you, if nominated, give this man an Emmy. Rooker did phenomenal work in "This Sorrowful Life".
And in what was an amazing coupe de grace for the character not just in an emotionally heavy performance, the character really laid one down hard on The Governor, using his getaway car to lead a whole swarm of walkers to decimate half of the military-trained warriors from Woodbury along with some bullets. Sadly, the Governor gains the upper hand, literally.*
(*) – Merle is overpowered in a fisticuffs with his fight with The Governor, getting two fingers bitten off from his hand. Sadly, Merle mistakes the Governor wanting him to beg, but instead The Governor just wants him dead and does so then by shooting him.
The final moments of Darly killing Merle are tragic ones. As a viewer, the storyline feels earned and justified, but as a critic, the death of Merle feels, well, a bit too soon. Say what you will, but Merle would have been interesting to have in the group dynamic within Rick. Then again, to have Merle go out the way he went out, there truly is no better way, but to see him carry on to another season before going out the way he did would have been nice.
There lies the rub with The Walking Dead is that the series has the pace of a show that has no idea what it wants to be at times. The slow boil between Merle and the other Prison group members would have been better appreciated. Perhaps that would be driving the show's pacing down to a stand-still, but considering how it ebbs and flows a bit anyway, when it comes to killing characters off, it begs the question how justified are they in doing that to characters?
Well the answer is they are fully justified.
But in cases of characters like Axel (Lew Temple) who get any sense of development and then are killed off, or in some cases, have been around forever and then are killed off without much development (IronE Singleton's T-Dog), it gets you quite upset. While individuals like Joss Whedon really pushed for killing characters off to show you they mean business, sometimes The Walking Dead kills characters off to remind you they kill characters off because it's a zombie show. And while you can put a pretty bow on it, at the same time, we still know what the show is doing, and it's wee-bit frustrating. Every character should have their moment to shine. Luckily Merle had a whole episode featuring his before he died, unlike Axel who had a small morsel of dialogue making him a skosh more likeable before getting a bullet in the brain which feels a similar fate to T-Dog.
Overall, despite that nagging bit of criticism, "This Sorrowful Life" does showcase the talents of Rooker as Merle, and even showcases Lincoln and Reedus with powerful moments in the final throes of the episode. It is powerful and showcases what The Walking Dead does best(and sometimes worst). And with one more episode left airing March 31st, Easter Sunday, well, you can't argue with that logic. *
( *) - Well, the logic with Jesus rising and all that. You know, being there are walkers, uh, around.

Tonks family
this wiki
- Sirius Black: "Any time the family produced someone halfway decent they were disowned. I see Tonks isn't on here. Maybe that's why Kreacher won't take orders from her — he's supposed to do whatever anyone in the family asks him."
- Harry Potter: "You and Tonks are related?"
- Sirius Black: "Oh, yeah, her mother Andromeda was my favourite cousin."
- — Harry Potter and Sirius Black on the Tonks and Black families[src]
Tonks is the surname of a family that was originally Muggle. Ted Tonks, however, was a Muggle-born wizard and he married a pure-blood witch, Andromeda Black (for which Andromeda was disowned), with whom he had one child, Nymphadora Tonks.
The Tonks family is related to the Lupin, Black, Malfoy, and Lestrange families. They are distantly related to the Potter, Weasley, Peverell, Prewett, Crabbe, Riddle, Slytherin, Crouch, and Gaunt families. They may possibly also be related to the Longbottom and Abbott families.[1] The female line continues through Edward Remus Lupin. During the Second Wizarding War the family supported Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
- "Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, so —"
- —Sirius Black regarding the Tonks family[src]
Not much is known about the earl history of the Tonks family. Sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s Muggle-born Ted Tonks married Andromeda Black after thry graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because of this marriage Andromeda was disowned by her family. In 1973 they had a daughter and their only child Nymphadora Tonks.
First Wizarding War
It can be assumed that during the First Wizarding War that the Tonks family supported the Order of the Phoenix, but were not actual member just allies. And were relieved with Lord Voldemort's first defeat at the hands of Harry Potter in 1981.
Between the wars
In 1984 Nymphadora began her education at Hogwarts were she was Sorted into Hufflepuff house, during the Sorting Ceremony. During her time at school she was not all-together the best behaved. Despite her behaviour, Tonks achieved good marks on her exams and qualifyed for Auror training when she left school in 1991. This means that she presumably took Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and another subject in sixth and seventh year. She earned 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations' on all of her N.E.W.T.s Being the daughter of the ostracised Andromeda Tonks, she was rejected by the supremacists of the House of Black.
Undergoing three years of Auror training under the tutelage of Alastor Moody, Tonks's natural metamorphic abilities allowed her to easily pass the Concealment and Disguise portion of the training without doing any work for it at all. However, her clumsiness gave her trouble with the Stealth and Tracking portion of the course, which she almost failed. Tonks qualified fully as an Auror in 1994. It was most likely that her parents were proud when she was appointed as a full-fledged Auror.
Second Wizarding War
The Tonks family supported the Order of the Phoenix during the Second Wizarding War, though only Nymphadora Tonks was an actual member. Shortly after marrying Remus Lupin, she became pregnant and stayed at her parents' home with her mother, while her father was forced to go on the run to avoid the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. Ted was killed by Snatchers in 1998, and Nymphadora and her husband died fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts, leaving their infant son in his maternal grandmother's care.[2]

You've most likely heard of survival bracelets before - they're made of lengths of very strong cord and can be quickly unwoven in case of emergency if you suddenly find yourself needing to rappel, splint, or tie yourself to something less flimsy than you. It would probably be a good idea to have one. If you'd like to pick one up and support a good cause in the process, they're currently being sold for $12 by G. I. Joe Rescue, aka the Joe Le Foundation, a Southern California-based volunteer search, rescue, and recovery operation. Which isn't necessarily something you want to think about in your spare time - but.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled pinkness.

The Oklahoma Sooners beat the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl by two touchdowns, and head coach Bob Stoops was even more adamant about people falsely labeling the SEC as the best conference in the nation. According to ESPN on Jan. 3, Stoops said the SEC is not "overwhelming."
Looking at the bowl games, Stoops has a point.
For one thing, Stoops pointed out that two of the original Big 12 teams, the Missouri Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies, both went to the SEC and combined to go 11-5 against SEC teams. Missouri, who had never won a Big 12 title, went 7-1 against the SEC, only losing in the SEC title game to Auburn.
Bob Stoops did make sure to say that he has all the respect in the world for the best teams in the SEC, including Alabama and LSU. However, two teams don't make a dominant conference.
Stoops' main point is that, while teams like Alabama and LSU are normally at the top of the nation, that does not make the SEC conference the best in the nation because you have to look at all the teams. Last year, Auburn finished the season winning only three games and turned things around this year to make the national title game. One of last year's best teams was Florida, and this year they only won four games.
Stoops is not really saying that the Big 12 is better than the SEC, but his point that two Big 12 teams could join the conference and be better than almost all the other teams there lends credit to his argument. Oklahoma beating Alabama is even better evidence. The Oklahoma Sooners believe they can play with anyone, and the self-proclaimed greatness of the SEC means little when it comes to the actual game on the field.

The panel had been assigned the task of documenting the physical configuration of the spacecraft and ground support equipment immediately before and during the January 27 fire, including equipment, switch position, and nonflight items in the cockpit. The panel was also to document differences from the expected launch configuration and configurations used in previous testing (such as altitude-chamber testing).
During the investigation the panel had discovered a number of items which might have had relevance to flame propagation:
- An engineering order, released at North American Aviation's Downey facility on January 20, provided direction to inspect the polyurethane foam in specified areas and coat the silicone rubber to meet flammability requirements. The direction was not recorded in the configuration verification record as of the start of the Space Vehicle Plugs-Out Integrated Test and was not accomplished on spacecraft 012. This item was considered as possibly significant in terms of fuel for the fire and a medium for flame propagation.
- Polyethylene bags covered the hose fitting for the drinking water dispenser and the battery-instrumentation cable and connectors and transducer, which were placed on the aft bulkhead near the batteries. The bags were made of nonflight materials.
- Two polyurethane pads, covered with Velostat, were stowed over couch struts. The pads were placed in the spacecraft to protect the struts, wiring, and aft bulkhead during the planned emergency egress at the end of the test. These items were of nonflight material and were not documented by quality inspection records.
- Three packages of switching checklists from the Operational Checkout Procedure and one package of system malfunction procedures, in a manila folder, were stowed on the crew couches and on a shelf. These items were on unqualified paper and, while required for the test, they were not documented by quality inspection records.
- Nylon protective sleeves were covering all three crewmen's oxygen umbilicals. These sleeves were nonflight items.
- Three ground-support-equipment window covers had been temporarily installed to protect the windows and were nonflight items in the spacecraft at the time of the accident. Another such cover for the side hatch window was removed by the crew and stowed inside the command module. These covers were of nylon fabric; flight covers were made of aluminized Mylar.
- Velcro pile had been installed to protect the Velcro hood on the command module floor. It would have been removed before the flight.
- "Remove before flight" streamers installed in the command module interior were additional nonflight items.
- Polyethylene zipper tubing, installed to protect hand controller cables, was a nonflight item and was additional material in the command module.
The panel's summary of findings and determinations included:
Eighty engineering orders effective for spacecraft 012 had not been carried out at the time of the accident. Of these, twenty were specified to be completed after the test; four did not affect configuration.
Test requirements had no defined relationships with the open status of 56 engineering orders. The reason not all work items and engineering orders were closed was late receipt of changes or further work scheduled to be completed before launch.
Items not documented by quality inspection records had been placed on board the spacecraft during preparation for the Space Vehicle Plugs- Out Integrated Test.
Procedures for controlling entry of items into the spacecraft were not strictly enforced.

Recently, I looked up the origin of the word squash. Most sources indicate it comes from the Narragansett Native American word, askutasquash. No matter where the word came from, sometimes I think a lot of kids don't want to eat it because the name reminds them of something gross, such as what happens when you step on a bug. They probably figure anything that has an unpleasant name must therefore be unpleasant in all ways. One of my sons, well into his thirties, still refuses to eat any form of squash, even though he likes just about everything else.
I love any type of squash, whether it be summer or winter types. My favorite ways to cook zucchini are to stuff halves with a meatloaf mixture or to pan fry it with onions, corn, garlic and olive oil. Now that it's winter, I've been getting hungry for acorn, butternut and banana squash, as well as some of the other varieties such as delicata, hubbard, kabocha, turban and many more.
Here are some recipes to get your taste buds ready for some delicious winter squash.
Applesauce squash muffins
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked butternut squash puree
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup soft, plump raisins
- 1 cup finely chopped dates
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease 2 muffin tins or line the tins with paper muffin cups; set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar, oil, eggs, squash puree, applesauce, vanilla and grated lemon rind.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the other mixture and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the raisins, dates and walnuts and blend well.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the muffins are nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the baked muffins from the tins to cool on wire racks.
Caramelized butternut squash
I find it much easier to peel hard squash by poking it a time or two with an ice pick, then microwaving it a couple of minutes (or longer, depending on the size of the squash).
- 2 medium butternut squash (about 4 to 5 pounds total)
- 6 to 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (original recipe calls for kosher salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Preheat oven to 400. Cut off the ends of each squash and discard.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds and peel.
- Cut the squash into 1 1/4 - to 1 1/2 -inch cubes (large and uniform is best), and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
- Toss all of the ingredients together and spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes or until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. (Turn the squash while roasting a few times with a spatula to be sure it browns evenly.) Adjust seasonings if needed. Makes 6 servings.
Winter squash bake
- 2 pounds acorn squash, or other winter squash such as delicata, carnival, or butternut
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Cover each half tightly with plastic wrap and microwave 12 to 15 minutes, or until soft.
- While the squash is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add the onion and cook until limp; transfer onion to a mixing bowl.
- Scrape the cooked squash into the mixer bowl along with 2 tablespoons of the parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, egg yolks and heavy cream. Beat until well mixed; add 1/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese and stir. Adjust seasonings, if necessary.
- Transfer mixture to a lightly buttered shallow 1-quart casserole dish and top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until the squash is puffed and the Parmesan cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Makes 6 servings.
Seeded butternut squash braid
From Taste of Home.
- 2 3/4 cups uncooked cubed peeled butternut squash
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup warm 2 percent milk (110 to 115 degrees)
- 2 tablespoons warm water (110 to 115)
- 1/2 cup shelled pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or sunflower kernels
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup pepitas or sunflower kernels
- Place squash in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash squash (you will need 2 cups); cool to 110 to 115 degrees.
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and water. In a large bowl, combine the pepitas, butter, egg, brown sugar, salt, cooked squash, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each into a 26-inch rope; braid ropes. Transfer to a greased baking sheet; form into a circle, pinching ends together to seal. Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- For topping, beat egg and water; brush over braid. Sprinkle with pepitas. Bake at 350 for 18 to 23 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack. Makes 1 loaf, about 18 slices.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- The start time for the Arizona baseball game against No. 16 Oregon State on Friday, April 11, has been changed.
The game, which was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., has been moved to a 2 p.m. start in attempt to avoid forecasted rain on Friday evening.
The National Weather Service in Tucson lists precipitation chances at 50 percent for Friday evening, but forecasts mostly sunny skies with increasing clouds during the afternoon hours.
Coaches from both Arizona and Oregon State agreed to change the start time of Friday's game following the Beavers' 9-5 win over the Wildcats on Thursday evening.
The final game of the series is still scheduled for Noon on Saturday.

Veraison passed from about a month: The harvest will begin soon !
It's time to control precisely ripeness to estimate precisely the date of harvest and eventually forecast any additional operations to be carried out during the vinification.
To do this we conduct sampling of berries on every parcels in order to have a "snapshot" of the vineyard. Of course, this sampling must be rigorous and regular to be representative.
The first part of the berries (on the picture, you see each sample in plastic bag) is analyzed in the laboratory.
Three main parameters are measured, and more than the results, their evolution until harvest must be considered :
First is the alcoholic level which correspond to the measure of sugar in the grapes (yeasts convert about 17 grams of sugar per liter of grape juice to get 1 %vol of alcohol). The sugar concentration increased regularly until stabilizing at maturity and to assert AOC Cahors, 11.5 %vol of alcohol at least are required in the wine.
Second is total acidity which is the sum of the acids in grape berries that you find later in wine. It decreases until maturity before stabilization.
Finally the pH, which measures the strength of acids and is essential for aging of wine.
We complete these analysis by tasting berries, which is essential for estimating the aromatic potential and cellular decomposition of the skin and the astringency of the tannins of the pips which when ripe, have a characteristic "nutty" aroma or even "roasted".
So the date of the harvest will be determined taking into account in addition to the present and future health of the vine, particularly considering weather forecast conditions.

What is gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a serious but curable bacterial infection that can be transmitted through genital, oral, or anal sex, as well as from an infected woman to her baby during delivery. The incubation period (the time it takes for an infection to develop) is usually two to ten days after exposure.
Gonorrhea has a high transmission rate, so if you have unprotected sex with an infected partner, your chances of becoming infected are high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are about 820,000 new cases of gonorrhea in the United States annually, including about 13,200 in pregnant women.
How can gonorrhea affect my pregnancy?
Women who have gonorrhea during pregnancy tend to have higher rates of miscarriage, infection of the amniotic sac and fluid, preterm birth, and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), although prompt treatment reduces the risk of these problems. An untreated gonorrhea infection makes you more susceptible to HIV and some other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), if you're exposed to them, and raises your risk of a uterine infection after you have your baby.
If you have a gonorrhea infection when you go into labor, you can pass the bacteria to your baby. Gonorrhea in newborns most commonly affects the eyes, and babies may eventually go blind if left untreated.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force strongly recommends – and most states require by law – that all babies be treated with medicated eye drops or ointments soon after birth as a preventive measure. If the mother is known to have gonorrhea or the baby has a gonorrheal eye infection, he'll be treated with systemic antibiotics as well.
Less often, an untreated gonorrhea infection can spread to other parts of a baby's body, causing problems such as serious blood or joint infections and meningitis.
What are the symptoms of gonorrhea?
Many women with gonorrhea have no symptoms, so without testing it's likely you wouldn't have any idea that you were infected.
Symptoms, if you do get them, vary depending on the site of the infection. If your cervix, vagina, or urethra are involved, your symptoms may include abnormal vaginal discharge, burning or pain during urination, spotting, and pain during intercourse. With an anal infection, you might have discharge, itching, or experience pain when you move your bowels.
If you have oral sex with an infected partner, you can develop a gonorrhea infection in your throat or mouth. It may be accompanied by redness or soreness.
And if your eyes come in contact with the bacteria (for example, by touching infected genitals and then rubbing your eyes), you can develop an eye infection and may have discharge and itchy, red eyes.

Speculation of a ban was rife after the White House lamented the commercial use of a selfie featuring Obama and a Red Sox player.
14:56, UK, Tuesday 08 April 2014
The White House is not banning selfies, despite fears of a crackdown after a photo featuring Red Sox player David Ortiz and the President was used in an advertisement.
However, the White House did ask America's Olympic athletes to keep their cell phones in their pockets last week when they visited the White House and met with Barack Obama.
The White House said it was a longstanding practice because taking individual photos with hundreds of people would not be practical.
But it insisted there was no outright prohibition of selfies.
"There's no discussion of a ban," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Last week Ortiz, the Boston Red Sox slugger, took a selfie with the president during his team's visit to the White House, and tweeted it.
Samsung, the maker of the phone Ortiz used, used the picture in an advertisement, and many criticised that snapshot as a marketing ploy.
Ortiz denied taking the picture with the knowledge it would be part of a promotion.
The White House expressed irritation, with Mr Carney pointing out that the White House objects any time the President's image is used for commercial purposes.
On Sunday, White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer said the White House had expressed its concerns to Samsung about the ad.
"Maybe this will be the end of all selfies," he joked, raising speculation a ban was being planned.
Mr Obama was embroiled in another selfie controversy in December, when he, David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt took a selfie during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
Photos of the three leaders squeezing in for the shot quickly went viral on the internet and some Twitter users suggested it was inappropriate behaviour given the circumstances.

DC Comics gives us some background on the lives of Power Girl and the Huntress on Earth 2 in World's Finest Annual #1. With an involving story and vibrant illustrations, the series deserves celebration when others fell to the wayside in less time. Who wouldn't be interested in following the adventures of Batman and Catwoman's daughter and Superman's cousin?
Before they were marooned in our world, Power Girl and the Huntress battled super-villains on Earth 2. They find themselves crossing paths with Wonder Woman's daughter, Fury. It becomes evident blood is thicker than water when the Amazonian Princess shows up to defend her evil offspring, no matter what she's done or has planned.
Writer Paul Levitz continues to tackle the characters of Power Girl and the Huntress in World's Finest Annual #1. Being the creator of the Huntress gives him an advantage other scribes wouldn't have penning this series. He's been penning Power Girl long enough now to know how she would react in any situation. Levitz packs their adventures in this issue with enough drama and action to keep readers flipping the pages.
Artists Diogenes Neves and Marc Deering make the most of their opportunities to work with these characters in their alternate identities and costumes in World's Finest Annual #1. They do a great job visually bringing to life Supergirl and Robin as they come face-to-face with Earth 2's Wonder Woman and Fury.
World's Finest Annual #1 gives readers an engaging bird's eye view of the crime-fighting duo of Power Girl and the Huntress before they were trapped in the "real" DC Universe. If readers can stop gawking at Power Girl's chest long enough, they'll find a riveting tale full of excitement and tension. I can't imagine people picking this up and not wanting to give the monthly series a chance.
World's Finest Annual #1 is available now in print.
