While we'll never been big on those cheesy bookmarks with inspirational quotes or pictures of kittens, the Full Moon Maple Bookmark ($26) is something we wouldn't mind holding our place. A beautiful real Maple leaf is filigreed and hangs atop a 6-inch hook. These bookmarks from Still Life Gifts, a family business in Northern California, will make those subscription cards you've been using obsolete!
You know, this is nice and all, but it's not what I come to this site to see. I want to see a handful of really interesting, unique, unusual, new things.

Federal agents on Friday arrested a 21-year-old Macon man who allegedly attempted to kill his girlfriend when she wanted to end their relationship.
Davares Jerrelle Evans was arrested at an apartment in the 700 block of Tidewater Circle, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office. He was charged with criminal attempt to commit murder in the 2013 shooting of Sierra Scott, of Macon, officials said. He was also charged with failure to appear and violation of probation, deputies said.
Investigators said on Dec. 3 Evans went to a home in the 1200 block of West Granada Terrace where his girlfriend at the time lived. Evans allegedly shot Scott once in the hand after she told Evans she wanted to end the relationship with him and had asked him to leave her home, the sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Linda Howard said.
Witnesses identified Evans as the shooter, Howard said. The 21-year-old was transported to Bibb County Sheriff's Criminal Investigative Division for questioning and then to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center where he is presently being held.
Friends Drive Man to Hospital After he was Shot in Both Legs
Friends had to carry a man to the hospital after he was shot in both legs Saturday morning in Macon.
The shooting happened around 3 a.m. at 1418 Second Ave., according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office. Investigators said someone shot 31-year-old Brandon Loyd, of Macon, in both legs while he was at the home.
So far, no one has been arrested in the shooting and police have not provided a motive for the crime. They also have not provided any details on the circumstances surrounding the shooting and whether or not there were any witnesses.
Brandon's friends transported him to a local hospital where he was being treated for non-life threatening injuries, the sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Linda Howard said. Brandon was listed in stable condition, Howard said.
So far, deputies have no description of the suspect and the incident is still under investigation, Howard said. Anyone with any information in reference to this incident is urged to contact the Bibb County Sheriff's Office and ask to leave a message for the on-call investigator at (478) 751-7500, or call Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at (877) 682-7463.

Hi guys, I see the Mike Nepper comment about DADGAD. I love to play in DGDGAD.
I do my open tuning with #'s...makes it easy to remember. for instance DADGAD is 755250 top to bottom and the DGDGAD is 575250......makes it real easy and fast.
please check out my informal picking sessions on youtube and let me know if you
picked up any thing......I'm not real advanced but getting better..go to
fingerpicking with Larry session 1.....there are 5 sessions....kinda rough I know but what can I say.
I haven't been on in awhile so I thought I would pass on an interesting item I recently found. I have a couple of short scale 12 fret guitars that I play daily and I use light gauge strings with pretty low action. I also play in DADGAD quite a bit and noticed that I sometimes get some buzz on the low strings. I decided to raise the pitch up a half step and found it was an amazing difference. The increased tension also produces a much better overall volume and tone quality! As long as it is an instrumental, this is a great trick that I use all the time now. When I used to play large dreads or jumbos with mediums, I did the opposite and tuned them down a half or a whole step. I also used capos alot back then and almost never use them now unless I'm learning something by ear or transposing the key.
Ok, so this is my tip for avoiding pain. Sit straight up in an armless chair and hold the instrument so that you don't actually have to "hold" it. It should pretty much stay vertically on your right or left leg with the neck at an up angle, with the body maybe just resting lightly against your chest. You may want to put your chosen guitar leg up on a footrest. Try not to squeeze the guitar body against your chest with your picking forearm. It should just be lightly resting there with your picking hand not touching the guitar body at all, and a slight comfortable bend at the wrist. Also, your fretting hand should be at a comfortable right angle to the neck with as little stress as possible. If you have developed bad habits and you are having pain like I was for years, you may find this difficult at first. But, with time you will realize a big improvement in your playing and tone production. Playing guitar should be fun, not painful!
Also, try not to play for hours on end - take breaks every 15 - 20 minutes. Get up and stretch and breathe for 5 - 10 minutes and think about what you are working on. Take small sections of a piece, maybe just 2 or 3 measures and play them SLOWLY till you perfiect it before you build speed, and then move on to the next section. Keep reminding yourself to keep the tension out of your hands and arms and shoulders - focus, breathe and stay relaxed! Good luck!
BACKACHES: i had backaches from sitting a playing guitar
(guitar is on my right lap).... finally i realise that letting the instrument go for a month would help a lot and it did but most importantly picking it again ,i realised new ideas were flowing..sometimes i think one needs a break with the intention of coming to improve.

Grandpa Stories is a collection of stories. My stories. I take today's readers back to a time that seems so long ago now. The fact is that it really hasn't been that long ago. It only seems so because of how much change has occurred just since I started creating and collecting my stories. So its not the ticking of clock that makes our stories interesting, its the changing of background or context that makes solutions like "pop-tops" and "jukeboxes" fascinating to us now. It was also a time where much of our learning didn't have anything to do with school. We were taught by watching and experiencing life in ways that are no longer available to our children.

SEATTLE - Three California pitchers, led by starter Jason Dennis, kept the Washington offense in check Saturday as the Golden Bears handed the Huskies their fifth straight conference loss, 5-2, at Husky Ballpark.
Dennis (3-1), a junior southpaw, held the Huskies to two runs on six hits and no walks through seven innings to pick up the victory. It was the longest outing of the year for Dennis, who red-shirted last season after elbow surgery. David Cash pitched an inning and third of shutout relief, and Matt Brown struck out the final two Huskies with the bases loaded in the ninth to record his sixth save.
Washington fell to 14-9 overall and 2-6 in the Pac-10 with the loss. Cal improved to 17-14, 4-4.
Up 2-0, Cal scored three runs in the fifth to take a 5-0 lead. John Baker singled to lead off that inning, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a Clint Hoover single. After Hoover stole second and Conor Jackson walked, a passed ball put runners at second and third. A sacrifice fly from Carson White plated Hoover and Jackson scored on a Spencer Wyman single.
Washington scored both of its runs in the sixth. Ben Miller singled to lead off and scored on Tila Reynolds' double. After moving to third on a groundout, Reynolds scored on a wild pitch. In the ninth, singles from Reynolds, Jay Garthwaite and Michael Done loaded the bases, but Brown fanned Bryan Johnson and John Otness to end the game.
Husky junior starter Zack Daniels fell to 2-1 with the loss. Junior Randy Vanderplow pitched four and one-third innings of shutout relief. Miller and Garthwaite each had two hits to pace the Huskies. Baker and right fielder Rob Meyer were the only Bears with two hits.
The Huskies will try to salvage a series split Sunday in a 1:00 p.m. game, which will air live in the Seattle area on KSRB AM-1150.

Harlem Boyz opened about three years ago and features hip hop hunks and home boyz in mostly suck and fuck action. There are some pretty hot amateur men on the tour with tight, well-defined bodies and lots of big cocks. We haven't visited the site since it first opened, and it's grown a bit, so it's time to take another look.
The black men on this site are mostly guys in their twenties with lean, athletic bodies and a few muscled hunks, as well. Some of the guys have corn rows or dread locks, some are sporting ball caps, bandanas, or do rags. And there are plenty of big dicks, both cut and uncut. There are several thug types here, but not exclusively so.
There are some solo jack-off videos, but most of the action features guys in duos sucking and fucking. There are a couple of threeways and two bareback scenes as well. There are some pretty big dicks here and I enjoyed watching them getting serviced. A lot of the scenes have some kind of a story line - in one video, a thief caught red-handed gets his ass fucked by the home's resident. But some of the videos just open with horny black studs getting it on.
When we first reviewed Harlem Boyz three years ago, they had 34 episodes; the site has grown to 119 full scenes, but they haven't updated since February 2011. The videos are offered in three formats - WMV, MP4 and Flash. The WMVs are the biggest, displaying at 640x480, and the MP4s are for mobiles and play on iPhone, iPod Touch and Android, among others. These videos are not filmed exclusively for Harlem Boyz; they're DVD scenes and the quality ranges from low average to average. Most of the videos I watched didn't look bad, but lacked sharpness and some had issues with blurring during motion or a little pixelization at times. You can stream the videos in Flash and they play at about 600x400. These aren't as high quality as I'd like to see, lacking sharpness, but they are an option for those who hate to wait for downloads, although I found the downloads pretty quick. All the videos are DRM-free full scenes.
Each video episode also comes with a gallery of 30 to 40 screencaps shown at 640x480. There are another 20 galleries of digital stills, which may or may not be related to any of the videos; it's hard to say because the galleries don't use the same titles as the videos. The digital stills display at 650x857 and are available in thumbnail galleries, slide shows, and downloadable zips.
Harlem Boyz has a few issues. There's a pre-checked offer on the join page for another site, so you'll want to watch that. As mentioned, the site hasn't updated in almost two years. Not exactly an issue, but I also found a lot of the videos had musical overlays and I prefer to hear grunting, groaning, and dirty talk.
Your membership gives you access to seven other sites in the same network, but three of these feature white guys and the remaining are Asian sites; so they may be of limited interest to you. There are also two third-party videos feeds featuring more black men getting it on with one offering interracial gay sex.
Harlem Boyz gets a mixed review from me. While most of the men are hot and hung, I didn't find the quality of the videos was anything to get excited about - think about bargain-bin DVDs at your local porn store. The site's done the best they can, but the original DVDs just weren't the greatest to begin with. The videos are downloadable and the lack of DRM means you can add them to your library. And while the site isn't updating any longer with ebony content, there is enough in the library of videos to keep you busy for a month. Bottom line, I think there are better black gay porn sites out there; you'll have to check out the tour of Harlem Boyz and see what you think.

Pirate Party (14 photos)

The Pirate theme is always a favorite amongst boys' party themes and this one is no exception.
With a red, white and dark brown color palette, this theme was inspired by an old treasure map and all the graphic elements were developed from there.
The skull and the pirate ship had to be there and the white and red stripes were a must.
I loved the styling and photography by Jessica Demling. The golden beads, old maps and coordinating papers used for this party created a whimsical and magical feel, which were perfect for this theme!

Things are not looking good for Boston Celtics center Vitor Faverani. The second-year player is currently rehabbing a meniscus tear suffered during his rookie season with the team and had high hopes of returning to the team in early September. But some off the court behavior may slow any chance of that. According to a report by Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com on Monday, Faverani was arrested for drunk driving in Spain.
In an arrest that occurred on Sunday, the Celtics center reportedly collided with a bus after running a red light in Valencia. According to a Spanish paper, Faverani registered a blood-alcohol rate that was three times the legal limit. Luckily, no one was hurt in the collision. Under Spanish law, Faverani will serve some jail time, a fine and some community service.
Celtics officials have yet to comment on the arrest, but some sort of punishment is sure to be handed down on Faverani from the team. The NBA may also come down hard on the 6-foot-11 center. The league typically waits for the legal process to unfold before deciding on a suspension. In any event, it does not look good for Faverani, especially in a year in which he is expected to compete for playing time.
The Celtics have last year's second round pick, Colton Iverson, returning and has traded for center Tyler Zeller. The team also has Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass and Kelly Olynyk in a crowded frontcourt. The Brazil native averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in a shortened rookie season. He signed a three-year contract last season with the Celtics and is scheduled to earn $2.1 million this season. Some of that will more than likely go to fines and Faverani could possibly be in jeopardy of losing his roster spot.

A Thursday story in Defense Systems reports that the United States Air Force has filed a motion in the United States Court of Federal Claims to dismiss a law suit brought against it by SpaceX. The suit concerns a sole source block buy by the Air Force of 36 EELV rocket launches for various national security satellites. SpaceX contends that this is unfair and that it should be allowed to bid competitively for those contracts. The company claims that it could service those launches at a 75 percent cost savings.
The Air Force claims that SpaceX knew that the contract was going to be sole source as far back as 2012 and did not complain then. Since SpaceX has yet to be certified as a contractor for Defense Department payloads, it would not be a qualified bidder to begin with. The United Launch Alliance, which builds and markets the EELV, has a record of over 50 successful launches whereas SpaceX is a relative newcomer to the commercial launch business.
The motion is the latest in what amounts to a "blood feud" that has pitted the staid, aerospace company jointly owned by Boeing and Lockheed Martin and the young upstart SpaceX. Accusations have flown back and forth, with SpaceX decrying what amounts to a monopoly in Defense Department launch contracts and ULA claiming that its rival has cut corners to achieve cost savings. Complicating matters is that fact that ULS relies on a Russian-made rocket engine, the RD-180, which might not be available much longer. SpaceX's Falcon rockets are made in the USA.
The struggle between SpaceX and ULA being played out in the courts and in the media is strikingly similar to that waged between the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtis as recounted in the recent book "Birdmen: The Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss, and the Battle to Control the Skies." Strong personalities, a promising new technology, and potential lucrative markets combined to create a decades long clash that shaped early aviation history and ruined the men involved. Whether the current blood feud will repeat itself for commercial rocketry remains to be seen.

The Cornhuskers already have clinched the Big 12 Conference's North Division title, the Buffaloes have clinched their third bowl-less season in the past four.
The Huskers have a date with South Division champ Texas in Dallas on Dec. 5, the Buffs have a date with whomever they can speed-dial between semesters.
So what motivates 8-3 Nebraska, and how big a hit would the Huskers' Big 12 title game momentum take with a loss to 3-8 CU?
Probably not the best lead-off question to throw at Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, but it was tossed his way anyway on Monday at his weekly press conference.
Bo's answer: "I don't even want to talk about that. I know what we have in front of us. I know it's going to be a challenge. I know we have to play good football. I fully expect to go win this football game.
"Texas - that means nothing to me right now. The only thing that matters to this football team is Colorado. I told our people in the offices (and) the coaching staff I don't want to hear about plans, about travel plans, about tickets or anything else about the Big 12 title game.
"That means nothing. That time will come. Our full focus is on Colorado."
If you watch Pelini on the sidelines - and TV cameras will make sure you get plenty of chances - you come away knowing Bo can be, ah, fiery and wild-eyed. And that he loves his chewing gum.
Regardless of what message Pelini sends when he and his Juicy Fruit are in a player's face, give him this: He has his team's attention and Nebraska's program pointed North - pun intended.
When Texas Tech visited Lincoln last month and left with a 31-10 victory, the Big Red faithful were steamed. When Iowa State followed up with a turnover-marred 9-7 win in Lincoln, a meltdown of China Syndrome proportions seemed imminent.
How did Pelini and the Huskers react?
By reeling off four consecutive wins and, with the most recent one (17-3 against Kansas State), solely claiming the North for the fifth time - the first outright under Pelini, who in two seasons is 8-1 in games played on Nov. 1 or later.
It might sound like coach-speak when Pelini says of CU, "I see a team that's very capable. They have some good talent. At times they have played really well. They've struggled with some inconsistency.
"It's their last game of the year and they have a lot to play for. I know we're going to get their best shot. It's a challenge."
That is his message to the Huskers this week. Bet on them listening.
HOW GREAT THOU (THEY) ART: CU coach Dan Hawkins knew the questions were coming - the ones about his future. The questioners also should have known which answers were coming.
To every query Monday about his job status (and by my count there were three) Dan Hawkins answered by explaining how "excited the Buffs are to be playing Nebraska," then adding that the CU high command - Athletic Director Mike Bohn, Chancellor Phil DiStefano and President Bruce Benson - "all have been great."
Several Buffs have been asked over the last couple of days whether they believe they will be playing for their coach's job on Friday.
This was sophomore right guard Ryan Miller's Monday take: "I don't feel like that, and I sure hope that's not the case. You have to play for the people around you - those guys behind you and beside you.
"Our coaches have done all they can; it's up to us now to get it together and play well. I know we're going to play well; I just hope we can play at the level we're capable of."
TALKING THE TALK: Nebraska week usually brings out the big names in Buffsville.
On Sunday, the Buffs heard from former CU coach Bill McCartney. On Monday, they heard from former all-conference outside linebackers Kanavis McGhee (1988-90) and Chad Brown (1991-92).
Brown addressed the team over the noon hour, McGhee after practice. Each was well-received.
Miller said Brown spoke on "opportunity and regret, and taking today for today," McGhee on "the tradition of being a Buffalo and knowing what it means to put on the jersey. Both of those guys were outstanding."
SECOND TIME AROUND: It might have sounded like a fresh sound bite Monday when Dan Hawkins said if he had to do it over again, he wouldn't encourage his son, Cody, to attend CU.
"No . . . it wouldn't be fair to him," Dan Hawkins said, calling the junior quarterback a "good player and a great kid. You're going to take some of the good with the bad . . .
"Here's a guy who's trying to do his best and win games and does everything right and is a good student . . . he's getting killed on Facebook and getting killed on his cell phone. You know what I mean?
"The great thing about this job is you meet some unbelievable people, some unbelievable people . . . but you also see a side of humanity that's not real fun."
Dan Hawkins spoke in depth on the subject (click on Monday's press conference on CU.Buffs.com to watch/hear the entire transcript), but it wasn't the first time he addressed it publicly.
In a sit-down interview earlier this month with a Denver TV station, Dan Hawkins said Cody coming to CU to quarterback the Buffs wasn't in his son's best interest, and in retrospect, he would have steered him elsewhere.
NON-GOVERNMENT BAILOUT: CU fans might never forget the Nebraska school-record 57-yard field goal by Alex Henery that pushed the Cornhuskers ahead of the Buffs 33-31 last season in Lincoln (Nebraska won 40-31).
Pelini won't forget the kick either; a former walk-on, Henery was awarded a scholarship at season's end.
Said Pelini of making that decision: "Well, when he made that 57-yarder . . . I think it became pretty clear to me. He bailed my butt out. I tried everything I could to lose that football game and he bailed me out. He earned it right there, in my mind."
Henery, a junior who also has a 41.4-yard average punting, has hit 16 of 19 field goal attempts and all 31 of his extra point tries this season.
BUFF BITS: Dan Hawkins said he expects Nick Kasa to be available Friday and it appears that plans to seek a medical redshirt for the freshman defensive end have fallen through . . . . Also expected to play is linebacker B.J. Beatty, who sat out the Iowa State and Oklahoma State games with a concussion . . . . Pelini's two-season record at Nebraska is 18-7. A win Friday would give him back-to-back nine-win seasons in his first two years as a head coach . . . . The Cornhuskers own a 22-10-2 series advantage in Boulder and have won six of the past eight meetings at Folsom Field. However, CU won 65-51 in 2007.

MANIPULATION of GOLD markets and GOLD STOCKS-eom
That Head of Bundesbank should be tried for treason to sell the Country's gold when he knows the price of gold is going to go up.PC
I think his rationale is if gold prices go down the euro will fall in relationship to the dollar and make euro goods more competitive price wise to the dollar . It would work for about three months and then market forces will reassert themselves . Just my opinion.
There is no fraud nor manipulation.Gold is the natural enemy of the world's financial managers,because public confidence in the existing system is threatend by gold's renewed preeminence.Remains to be seen whether investment demand is sufficient to absorb all this gold at today's prices.Also,remember,the Bundesbanks is asking for an "option" to sell 600 tons through 5 years.It's not a done deal.

Unit testing
rhydiant <rhydthom <at> gmail.com>
Harking back to my uni days, I recall unit tests being described in terms of specifying pre/post conditions and class invariants, edge cases, error conditions, null checks, boundary conditions, positive-cases/negative-cases, equivalence partitions ... I'm not really thinking about these terms when I practice TDD. Instead, when I'm writing a test for unit of code, I think in object-oriented terms; roles, responsibilities and collaborations, and limit the scope of the test to satisfy the current scenario I'm implementing. Is this similar to how you work? At what point in the development process do you think about and write unit tests of the first kind? ------------------------------------ Yahoo!

Kourtney Kardashian's lace jumpsuit got people buzzing over the weekend as the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star showed off her baby bump. Kourtney, who is expecting her third child with long-time love Scott Disick, was attending the Women's Health Party Under the Stars event.
People shares that the event was in Bridgehampton, New York on Saturday night. Most women probably wouldn't be brave enough to attempt the look Kourtney Kardashian put together, but she fully embraced it. Kourtney wore a one-piece lace jumpsuit that showed off every curve of her pregnant figure.
Kourtney, Scott and Khloe Kardashian have been spending quite a bit of time in New York this summer, as they have been filming "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" there. Headlines have swirled around them, with various reports claiming that others the area are unhappy to have them there. There have also been stories that they have acted poorly at restaurants, then of course there is Scott's in-depth partying.
Luckily the latest reports regarding Scott indicate that he's getting a bit more serious about life and his family, and that he's taken a step away from drinking. That is great news and fans hope that he can stay on a better track. As "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" fans know, Kourtney and Scott are already parents to Mason, 4, and Penelope, 2. This third pregnancy came as a bit of a surprise, but everybody knows how much Kourtney adores being a mom.
What do you think of Kourtney Kardashian's lace jumpsuit that so prominently showed off her baby bump?

My client's Mac Book Pro is not starting.
He wants me to check it out - and the immediate signs are as follows:
When on button is pressed lightly (not held) - Mac does nothing - this is normal as far as I can tell.
When on button is held down, the Mac seems to start to turn on - I hear the fan, and the little "Joot-joot" sound.
Whenever I then let go of the button, immediately the Mac dies.
If I keep the button held down, the Mac continues for about 5-15 seconds, a white light on the front panel lights up, and then after a short bit, the Mac dies.
What can cause this? I believe I tried to reset the SMC, but I'm not sure how well I did. I took out the battery, disconnected from power, and pressed the button for more than 5 seconds.
What could this be? How can I proceed to troubleshoot this?
Note, screen does not turn on during any of this.
No logo, no nothing.

Saturn's porous moon, Hyperion, is the largest known nonspherical moon in the solar system. The potato-shaped satellite has a constantly changing chaotic rotation, with tugs from the nearby moon, Titan, keeping Hyperion from a circular orbit.
Discovery and naming
The odd moon was first discovered in 1848 by two independent groups. English astronomer William Lassell spotted the moon two days after fellow American father-and-son team William and George Bond. All three men are credited with the discovery.
The last of the eight major satellites to be discovered, Hyperion was found just after English astronomer John Herschel suggested the moons around the ringed planet be named for the Titans. These mythical beings, later overthrown by the Olympian gods, were the brothers and sisters of the Greek god Cronus, known to the Romans as Saturn. Hyperion, Saturn's elder brother, was the god of watchfulness and observation.
The path around the planet
Hyperion differs from most moons because it lacks a spheroidal shape. The potato-shaped satellite has three axes, which are 255 x 163 x 137 miles (410 x 260 x 220 kilometers), making it the largest known irregular shaped moon in the solar system. Early in its history, Hyperion may have been a larger, more spherical satellite that suffered a major impact.
One of the few major moons that doesn't keep one face perpetually turned toward Saturn, Hyperion spins approximately once every 13 days on its 21-day trip around the planet. However, its odd shape keeps it from a predictable rotation. When NASA's Cassini mission visited the moon, its ever-changing rotation kept scientists from predicting what part of the moon it would see.
Traveling around Saturn in an eccentric (noncircular) orbit, Hyperion keeps an average distance of 932,637 miles (1,500,934 km) from the planet. Its close orbit with Saturn's largest moon, Titan, allows gravity to cause the two to speed up and slow down as the distance between them shifts.
Saturn's spongy moon
With a density slightly more than half that of water, Hyperion's composition is still up for grabs. Porous water ice could account for the difference, as could the inclusion of lighter materials such as frozen methane or carbon dioxide. The existence of such materials would be consistent if a number of smaller ice and rock bodies had drawn together, or accreted, to form the moon, making Hyperion similar to a rubble pile.
The surface of the satellite is heavily cratered, much like Phoebe and Iapetus. Traveling so far from Saturn, the three distant moons show more signs of bombardment than their closer companions. Tidally heated by the huge planet, ice on the closer moons may have melted and smoothed over some of the earlier signs of collisions.
However, Hyperion's crater differs from the impacts on Phoebe and Iapetus. They tend to be deeper and show no signs of ejecta, giving the moon a sponge-like appearance. The moon's low density and porous surface may explain its unique appearance.
The interior of the craters are darker than the rest of the moon's reddish coloration. The low temperature, averaging minus 180 degrees C (minus 300 degrees F), could allow volatile materials to change state while skipping its liquid state, leaving darker materials on the crater floors. Some scientists think that the material might absorb more sunlight, excavating the craters as the material sublimated, while others think the distance from the sun weakens the effect too much.
Quick facts
- Average orbital distance: 932,637 miles (1,500,934 km)
- Closest approach: 911,000 miles (1,466,112 km)
- Farthest approach: 954,275 miles (1,535,756 km)
- Orbit eccentricity: 0.232
- Mass: 5.5855 x 1018 kilograms
- Density: 0.544 grams per cubic centimeter
- Escape velocity: 166 mph (268 kph)

We owe much of modern viticulture and winemaking traditions to the church in some form or another. Even before the last supper's famous entreaty that gave rise to the concept of Christian transubstantiation, wine has been a sacred fluid that was grown and made by various religious orders who had the land, the time, and the knowledge to make it happen.
In the past, most such organizations were the exclusive domain of men, and consequently so were the wines. Even as various religious orders for women have proliferated, it seems that most of those that make wine (or other forms of alcohol) are still primarily male.
Enter the Cistercian nuns of Monastero Suoro Cisterci near Vitorchiano, about 30 miles north of Rome.
The Cistercian order of the Catholic Church, founded in 1098 and also sometimes known in their modern incarnation as the Trappists, have an ancient tradition of closed self-sufficiency and manual labor according to the Rule of St. Benedict. Their goals of reproducing the religious life of the Italian monk some 500 years earlier meant a diet of hard work in the fields, lengthy prayer and study. Autonomous, self-contained communities of Cistercians have a long history of producing wine, beer, and other spirits.
Which is why a small group of nuns in Italy have an organic vineyard that they carefully tend by hand, planted with Trebbiano, Verdicchio, Malvasia and Grechetto. How these sisters managed to find and enlist the help of Giampiero Bea, the son of famous Italian winemaker Paolo Bea, to make their wine starting in 2005, I have not been able to discover. But despite being some distance from the Bea estate in Montefalco, Giampiero now shows up for every harvest to make their two wines that bear a label of his distinctive handwritten style.
Bea and his father, Paolo, are well known proponents of the Italian school of non-interventionalist winemaking not unlike the so called Natural Wine movement that began in France's Beaujolais region. That means that this wine, like the rest of the Bea portfolio is made without any commercial yeasts or additives of any kind, sees no fining or filtration before bottling, and only the smallest amount of sulfur added prior to bottling. I'm not entirely certain if it is also fermented without any temperature controls, but I wouldn't be surprised.
This wine is also an orange wine. Which means that despite being made from white grapes, it is made much more like a red wine, with extended soaking of the juice with the crushed skins of the grapes which gradually impart a deep orange color to the wine. This wine fermented on its skins in stainless steel tanks for 15 days before the liquid was drained off.
Like most orange wines, this extended maceration also exposes the wine to a lot of oxygen, which yields a wine that itself is quite resistant to the effects of oxygen. Not only will the wine last for weeks after opening (if kept cool), decanting for four to twenty-four hours opens it up to its most expressive state.
A coenobium is a colony of a fixed number of cells with little or no specialization, often found in certain kinds of algae. While an odd name for a wine to be sure, the nature of such a colony as a metaphor for both the organic processes of yeast, as well as the nuns who make it all happen seems quite appropriate.
In addition to this "Rusticum" bottling, Bea also produces a straight "Coenobium" bottling which has a higher percentage of Verdiccio and a shorter maceration period, I believe.
Tasting Notes:
Medium copper-orange in the glass, this wine smells of orange rind, honey roasted nuts, and dried cedar boughs. In the mouth it is, like many wines this color, a complex melange of different swirling flavors. Ranier cherry, orange rind, saffron, dried mango, and crenshaw melon all make an appearance. The wine has a firm mineral backbone and wonderful, spritely acidity, and a long, lightly tannic finish that plays out in wonderful aromatics with a hint of salty savoriness. This wine benefits greatly from air, and will reward a full 24 hours of decanting with an even broader aromatic palette and more balanced experience for the tastebuds. Fantastic. Made from 55% Trebbiano, 15% Verdicchio, 20% Malvasia and 10% Grechetto.
Food Pairing:
The lightly tannic nature and robust flavors of this wine, coupled with fantastic acidity make it a great match for nearly any kind of food except charred red meat. I'd love to drink it with a dish of stewed guanciale with scallions over white beans.
Overall Score: around 9.5
How Much?: $26

Present: Joey Brown, Chris Dunlap, Peter Erickson, Kelly Ledbetter, Samantha Lee, Rachael Miller, Ben Merriman, Rick Moore, Julia Sizek, Nick Stock, Nick Tarasen
From the Library: Judi Nadler (chair), Jeffry Archer, Frances McNamara, Tod Olson, Rachel Rosenberg, Jim Vaughan, John Kimbrough
Library News Site: Rachel demoed the new Library News Site, news.lib.uchicago.edu. There are several subject-specific sections, a workshops calendar, and opportunities to subscribe to RSS feeds.
Mansueto Updates: Mansueto is scheduled to open in May, and so far everything is going according to plan. Upcoming Mansueto-related events include:
There is some scaffolding in the 5th floor bookstacks as part of ongoing work on Regenstein's roof. Materials aren't browseable but accessible (staff will page daily).
Leaks in the East Asian reading room? The roof replacement work is being spread out over 2 years, so bear with us a little longer.
We've heard reports of students climbing up on the roof of Manuseto? (Yes, and we're thinking about how to secure the building so people won't climb the dome.)
Frances McNamara, Head of Integrated Library Systems for the Library, demoed the user interface for placing requests for Mansueto items. A "request" link will appear when viewing Manuseto items in the catalog or Lens – it will be in the same screen location as the "Recall item" link. Users will have to log in with their CNetID or library barcode. There are 4 pickup options: Mansueto (within 15 minutes when the building is open), Crerar, D'Angelo Law, or SSA (all within 1 business day). Like other online "shopping carts," you can build up a list of pending requests ("shop" for more Mansueto items) without having to log in each time, then submit all the requests at once.
As you know, we're putting in a new café on the first floor of Regenstein. There's a recent Maroon article about this project. The Library is participating in the Global Dining Initiative, a campus-wide integrated dining program that encompasses the dining halls, Hutch, the ARA-operated markets in Bartlett and South, and several of the campus coffee shops. The University sent out an RFP to operate all these places and has received responses from four companies (including Aramark).
We're hoping the hours of the servery portion of the café will be something close to 9am-11pm (Monday-Thursday), 9am-5pm (Friday), 11am-5pm (Saturday), and noon-11pm (Sunday) -- all during the academic year -- and to be open reduced hours during interims. We are soliciting suggestions for names -- this will be a different place than Ex Libris, so we'd like a different name.
The opening of Mansueto, the renovated Special Collections Research Center, and the new café all made us eager to redo the space in between: the center portion of the first floor. Jeffry talked about changes we would like to make:

Far too often we find ourselves spending way to much on a pair of sunglasses that will either A) get lost or worse yet B) break in a matter of minutes. We hate to feel like such bad caretakers of our lenses but those delicate plastic frames just cannot stay with us for more than a month! If that! That's why we decided to invest in these Shop Suey Boutique Marni Sunglasses ($10) because they are a steal and they don't skimp on the style just because they're nearly a fraction of what we would normally pay for designer glasses. Ca-ching!

On Friday August 8, Talento Bilingue Houston opened the exhibit Arte 504, featuring three young Honduran Artists, Ivan Soto, Roman Murillo, and Regina Valladares. Each of the artists was present for an informal reception and discussion with visitors over delicious hors d'oeuvres and wine.
In his interview at Talento Bilingue, Mr. Soto explained that "Dias Grises" or "Grey Days," was inspired from his first views of the impacts of climate change as he visited Tennessee, a contrast from the ever-tropical climate of his native Honduras. Roman Murillo spoke of his theme "Cardinals" and the strong element of self-respect in the culture of his people, despite recent crises that have made headlines in the media. Regina Valladares described her paintings from scenes in Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico under the theme Razgando recuerdos ("Scratching Memories" deliberately misspelled with a z instead of s), with works from the last 16 years. Following the individual interviews, all three artists participated in a Question and Answer Session with the audience lead by TBH interim artistic director Carlos Jesus Garcia Rojas. The exposition has traveled to New York, Washington, DC, and to Montreal, and Ottawa in Canada. It will be on display in the main hallway at TBH for two months.
Talento Bilingue de Houston was founded in 1977 as Teatro Bilingue de Houston (Houston Bilingual Theater) and has developed over the years into a multi-functional Latino Cultural Center through partnerships with larger performing arts organizations and in part with development grants. According to Special Events Coordinator Sonia Rivera TBH is currently reaching out to the younger generation with an after school program for middle school students called "Art Evolution" with Youth Genesis Consulting in addition to hosting meetings of other non-profit organizations such as the League for United Latin American Citizens. Next week, the TBH will host the Mexican Consulate's satellite passport renewal and consular registration office " Consulado Sobre Ruedes from Aug 12 through 15."

College Hockey:Wayne State Stops Ashley Riggs, But Not Niagara
Rudy's 34 Saves Silence Warriors
ERIE, Pa. — Wayne State coach Jim Fetter knew that CHA Rookie of the Year Ashley Riggs had to be stopped for his team to be successful in the league semifinal against Niagara.
The Warriors (13-17-3) did limit Riggs to just one assist, but that was all the scoring Niagara (16-14-3) needed in a 3-0 win. Goalie Nikki Rudy made 34 saves for the shutout that put the Purple Eagles into the CHA final.
Niagara took control by scoring two goals in the first four minutes. Just 2:42 into the game, Riggs set up Charde Hoyle-Levy for the first goal.
Fetter said, "Riggs had something like 50 points this year and she is very dangerous any time she is around the net or with the puck. We have to make sure we bump her and don't give her any space."
At 4:01 of the first period, junior defenseman Jessica Clermont shot a slapper from just inside the blueline through a screen that Wayne State goalie Val Turcotte never saw. That was all the scoring until the final 46 seconds, when Amy Jack put in an empty-netter.
Kerri-Lynn O'Hara, who assisted on Clermont's goal, was snakebitten shooting herself, as she was stoned on a breakaway at the end of the first period and hit two posts on the same shot in aiming for what was essentially an open net in the second period.
As for the defense, a lot of the credit goes to Rudy.
"Nikki Rudy came up big for us," said Niagara coach Margot Page. "With the physically strong Wayne State players crashing the net, it's tough to do."
Rudy said, "I have a very strong team in front of me and they made my job real easy. I saw a lot of the shots and they were there to help with any rebounds."
Page made it clear to her players that it was important to take care of their own zone.
Page said, "We have to make sure that not only do we have to play well defensively, we have to play well offensively in our own zone. I think if we can get the puck out of our zone well we will score the goals."
Page wasn't 100 percent pleased with the team's performance and needs a better game tomorrow against Mercyhurst.
"I don't think it was our best hockey and one of the things we want to do better is play smarter," Page said. "We came through today and hopefully we will play smarter against Mercyhurst."
With Mercyhurst's high powered offense, Niagara will need another great performance from Rudy and the defense. Niagara is 0-3-1 against Mercyhurst this year and has been outscored 13-3 in those games.
The CHA title will be handed out to one of these teams on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Mercyhurst Ice Center.

Good news, all-lovers of tablets should welcome a brand new player on the market aka the Ubuntu tablet introduced exclusively by Canonical.
Canonical promises that this tablet is a huge breakthrough that will be able to run an Ubuntu app across four different user interfaces. The first tests have started on Feb. 21. The Ubuntu tablet interface supports screen sizes from 6 inch to 20 inch and this tablet looks elegant and promises to be rather affordable.
Let's make everything clear, Canonical — is the company behind the Ubuntu project!

The article about the ownership group ponying up money for upgrades rankled someone.
Who? One of these owners? No. The attorney representing the Estefans. He wrote a letter to the editor lauding their good deeds in the community and essentially calling the author a hack.
What I find amusing is that they decided (or he on their behalf decided) that their best interest would be served by not commenting themselves, and letting an attorney handle it.
What have we become as a society?

Here is the original sketch of the creature witnessed on May 29, 2012, drawn by one of the primary eyewitnesses. The being was tall, dark, and covered ground with amazing speed while walking.
A family out egg hunting last spring near their village of Kasigluk came upon an incredible sight – a large, dark, hairy creature walking upright was heading towards them.
They – two teenaged brothers and their mom - were on the outskirts of the village riding their 4-wheeler when they saw it. It was approximately around 3pm, and the weather was beautiful, although slightly cloudy. School was out for the summer and the date was May 29th, 2012.
Could it have been the elusive Bigfoot?
"We came across it by the lagoon here in Kasigluk," said one the eyewitnesses. "It was back there southeast of Fox Lake."
While they were out that day, the three family members saw other people who coming home from egg hunting. So at first they thought the creature was a person.
"After it passed, we looked at each other and thought, 'we just saw Bigfoot'," the eyewitness said.
The creature was very tall and dark. Its long arms hung below its knees. It was approximately 75 yards away. The family watched it for about 2 minutes.
"It was walking towards us and then once it saw us it turned and started going to the other side of the hill," said the witness.
When it disappeared into the bushes, the family headed towards where they last saw it but it was nowhere to be seen.
They didn't hear about anyone else seeing the mysterious creature.
The following is the firsthand account about the sighting written by the mother of the two boys, one of the eyewitnesses.
"I wanted to go egg hunting, but didn't want to go alone so I had my two sons follow me since I didn't want to go alone. My oldest son said he knew of a place where we could go check so off we went towards the lagoon where there is flat land to the east.
"Upon reaching the lagoon my older son got off the four wheeler and ran off to see if anybody was in that area. He ran to the edge of the hill and soon ran back saying that somebody was already there. So we decided to go check somewhere else when that "somebody" started running at an incredible amount of speed. No human person would have gone from down there by that flat land to already towards us up the hill.
"That "somebody" was all black from top to bottom, kind of hunchbacked, like it had no neck and its head was cone-shaped. Its long arms went past its knees and it was incredibly tall.
"At first we all asked each other, "Who is that?" Then after about 10 seconds as it was walking with long strides it would occasionally look towards us. The way it walked was fast and no human could cover that amount of tundra in the same amount of time.
I asked, "WHAT is that?"
"All that time we were awestruck and dumbfounded to what we were witnessing. Then as it was going to disappear from our view finally I said, "I think we just saw Bigfoot!" As it passed in our full view it had covered the whole entire hill in a matter of about a minute. It seemed to be just walking but with big strides.
"We went up to the top of the hill but we didn't see it anywhere so we went straight home feeling kind of excited.
"That's my account. It looked exactly like the Patterson footage of Bigfoot if you've ever seen it."
Big Foot or Hairy Man sightings are not unheard of in the Yukon Kuskokwim delta region. Last summer there were reports of a number of sightings in the Johnson River area and other locations.
Great report on the sighting. Too bad the eyewitnesses didn't have a video cam or simple phone cam. Alaska has had it's share of bigfoot sightings for years now,and this great state being gun country, I find it plain stupid for someone to hoax something like this without thinking about drawing big game rifle fire. Very risky.
04/18/2013, 6:44 pm
Did they ever go back to look for foot prints..Something that size have to show footprints,,
01/28/2013, 9:53 pm
Who are these people that seen this 'bigfoot'? Also how did it go from running at them to suddenly walking away from them? I think this may be a fake story.
01/28/2013, 4:32 pm
Wow that is great! Wish I could have been there to. No doubt about it they saw a Sasquatch!
01/25/2013, 8:34 pm

Jenelle Evans is having a baby boy. The "Teen Mom" star and her beau Nathan Griffith are having a baby boy. On Feb. 4, Us Weekly reported that Evans and Griffith are excited to be welcoming a boy together -- and they've already picked out his name.
"We were basically searching for baby names on the Internet, and we came up with a bunch of different unique ones. We didn't want something that everyone else had or had even heard before, even us. So we wanted something different, and we ended up looking up Kaiser," Jenelle explained.
Jenelle Evans is lucky to have another baby boy because she will have an easier time with two boys -- not to mention having another boy is going to save her a boatload of money. She will be able to reuse a lot of Jace's things including toys and clothes that she probably wouldn't have used if she had a girl. Either way, Jenelle said she wasn't fussy when it came to the sex of her baby.
"I was happy either way no matter what we were gonna have, but Nathan was especially excited because he's a boy, so he was like jumping for joy. He's really, really excited to spoil him," Jenelle said. She is about 19 weeks pregnant and just recently found out the sex of her second baby.
Jenelle Evans' baby boy, Kaiser, will join big brother Jace in June.

While this weekend will provide the usual nerves and excitement that accompany the season opener, it will also have an added element for Michael Pereira and the seniors for the Massachusetts hockey team.
"Nerves, excitement, bittersweet," Pereira said. "It's your last opening weekend."
And this is an important weekend right out of the box for the Minutemen, because rather than ease into Hockey East action with a slew of non-conference games against unranked opponents, they are opening at No. 19 Boston University on Friday before traveling to No. 1 UMass Lowell on Saturday for what will be a non-conference game against a conference opponent.

Good suit

Did not fit
Since I could not wear the suit comfortably, and it dug into my shoulders, I sent it back. It was a disappointment after successfully using the Tyr Fusion in the same size. This design just did not work for me.

Fit: Feels too small
Terrible. fit snug when dry but bubbled out when wet.
suit fit snug when dry but became incredibly loose when wet to the point of the chest billowing out and actually catching water. Extremely disappointed!!
Theresa W.
Bluffton, SC
Fit: Feels too big
Great design, a higher cut than normal
My daughter wears a 24 for competition so we ordered the 24...I know it should take 2 people to get it on but this suit was even tighter than the one that left red marks on her shoulders for 2 hours after the meet was over. So we ordered the 26, which is still good cross the middle but is a little lose at the top.
Fleming Island, FL
Great suit
Worked great!! Thanks a bunch!!!
St. Robert, MO
Fit: Feels true to size
Not a Great Fit!!
I bought this suit for my daughter at her swim meet last weekend. It was the correct size for a competition suit and seemed to fit her okay. That was until she got into the water and water seemed to pool in the chest area creating a bubble. She discovered this during warmups and I ended up buying the TYR Fusion Aeroback (the equivalent to the Speedo Aquablade) in one size down. That one was a bit tight in the shoulders but I wasn't going to take a chance on the sizing. In my opinion, you should save your money and buy the Fusion Aeroback over this one. This suit just isn't worth the money.

I do not think it is good.
It looks OK however actually there are a lot of water coming into in the chest part. What a waste my money!!!
Plano, TX
Suit True to Size
True to size, however the back side could use more coverage.
Janelle R.
Sylvania, OH
Not wore yet
The suit is for the conference meet in Feb.
Carol S.
Amboy, IL
I am a junior national swimmer and this product is tight. Meaning like fitting wise, it is extremely tight. The shoulders fit well but the core is almost too restrictive. Also if you are a girl with any curves at all I would suggest another suit. I am not extremely cury and was not Blessed with any sort of butt, but this suit does not provide coverage in the butt. During my first race in it I got a giant wedgy. Though there are negatives to it I do feel fast in the suit and it works well for what it is intended to do
Somewhat worth it
I had a HUGE Last Chance Meet and this was a pretty good suit, felt good, but even when i squeezed the air bubbles out of the suit, water still got trapped in it! I dropped 8 seconds in my 100 Br but it was just uncomfortable. Having to wear the suit for over 2 hours sitting in a car was a BAD IDEA. My hips and legs went completely numb and purple! I suggest to buy your practice size in this!
Chloe Bednorz
This is the second tyr suit I have purchased in a few months, and in both suits the elastic shoulder strap has stretched out after the FIRST wear. The sizing was correct - the next size up was too large. Very disappointed in this suit, and will probably not buy a suit this expensive online again.
Franklin, TN
I would not recommend this swimming suit
I bought a pretty tight swimming suite, but as I dove in, the water came into the swimming suit. the water would not get out, so I dragged the water inside the swimming suite for the entire IM event
Boston, MA
AWESOME but small AND SPARKLES UNDERWATER!!!
I bought this suit for my daughter.She usually weears a size 30 but it it too big so I got a 28 for her.She did have have some problems trying to put it on though.She wears it to practice and swim meets.The suit does work pretty good.When I got the suit there was little white lines on it and is not sure if it's suppose to be there.The swimsuit does sparkle underwater though.

Good suit
I'm a year round competitive age group swimmer, and I wore this suit at finals frequently. It fits my form well, except the fact that it rides up in the butt when I bend over. It stretched out after using it for all of long course season and the fall months of short course. The fusion 2 lasts longer, but it doesn't repel water or compress as much, and it does eventually stretch, too. Before racing in this suit for the first time, I recommend getting the bubbles out, because if you dive in and they're still in your suit they create drag.

Fishers, IN
Not so hot
I bought this suit as an upgrade to the another TYR product. My daughter said it rode up in the back and got water down the front which she feels slowed her down. She is not large anywhere so its not a bodytype issue. Directions say to wear in water to squeeze out air bubbles and she did that. I am disappointed.
Diane F.
Dacula, GA
Higher Expectations
I was hesitant to purchase online, but thought I'd try. Sizing was accurate. We had higher expectations on the performance based on other ratings. My daughter wore this in two different championship meets. Her times were no better than what she had in team suit. Save your money.

Harrisburg, PA
strange fit
i got this suit for my 12yr.old daughter. the suit seemed to fit well in the shoulders and body but when she bent over (starting position) it rode right up into her buttocks. the leg openings were not snug and it was baggy in the behind. everyone of her teammates who tried it on had the same experience. i have heard better things about the short -john though.

Mercersburg, PA
2nd purchase of same suit
This is the second exact suit I have purchased for my daughter. We purchased the first at the beginning of short course, Before the end of short course she needed a new suit as it was thinned and worn and had loss of elasticity in multiple areas. She did not use it as a practice suit ever. I would guess that she wore it 15 to 20 sessions before it was wore out. She wears one size smaller for competition suit than practice/drag suit and that is how we purchased this. She wears nike practice suit size 28 and tyr competition suit 26 and she is age 15. We never wash it in detergent. We rinsed after use and hung by crotch to dry. I would say at this rate, using this style suit for competition only, we will expect to purchase at least 3 per calendar year and possibly 4 unless you need to change sizes. It is the fastest drying suit she has ever had. She liked this suit enough for this to be our second purchase of same suit. Prior to this suit she used the speedo competition suit and she felt it had more drag and it lasted about the same. So, we are really buying this over the speedo for performance.

Bought for 12 year old swimming in South Texas Age Group meet. I bought 1 size smaller because told by coach to, and the suit was a squeeze, but the tight fit made for better aerodynamics... Sizing is not like the speedo fast skin - size is true to form. My daughter swam freakishly fast - 14 seconds off her 100 free time, 6 seconds off her 100 fly time. She improved dramatically in all events she swam. Hard work and the new suit??? A little concerned about how long the suit will last as I am not expecting more than one season. Shipping was immediate, received in 2 days with standard shipping to Austin, TX.
