Editor's note: Tyler Gaffney, a two-sport standout in football and baseball, took a year off from Stanford to pursue a professional baseball career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. A powerful running back, he has returned to the Farm to finish his degree in sociology and has one season of eligibility remaining in football. Gaffney will participate in the final two weeks of spring practice and hopes to play in the Cardinal & White Spring Game on April 13. In this exclusive guest blog for the Buck/Cardinal Clubhouse, he discusses his reasons for leaving school, his decision to return, and his excitement about helping Stanford defend its Pac-12 title.
By Tyler Gaffney
Although leaving Stanford last year was a huge decision in my life, the chance to play professional baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates was an opportunity I couldn't turn down, and it has helped shape me into the man I am today. Once you leave the "Stanford Bubble," you are thrown into the real world of responsibilities. I met many times with those that have the most influence in my life, especially my immediate family, and they were instrumental in helping me make the right decision.
My dad asked me questions about the physical side of leaving school, mainly, "How will your body hold up after three years of no breaks playing football and baseball?" In the past, I took two weeks off following baseball season before I started training for football. Signing with the Pirates allowed me to have that same two-week break, then prove myself by playing 50 games in 55 days. I really wanted to show them I wasn't just a football player.
My first experience with the travels of minor league baseball didn't exactly go smoothly. My flight to Pittsburgh took 11 hours. A driver picked me up at the airport and drove me to a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, right next to PNC Stadium. I was told to be up at 6:00 a.m. the next day for my physical—mind you that's 3:00 a.m. West Coast time—and went to bed at 9:00 p.m. Unfortunately, I woke up at midnight and couldn't go back to sleep, so I read until 5:30 a.m. After passing the physical, it was off to meet some of the people in the organization and take care of paperwork. That night, I went to my first Pirates game and they won.
I left Pittsburgh the next day around noon for a three-hour drive to State College, Pennsylvania, home of Penn State and my new team: the State College Spikes. I arrived just in time to drop off my gear in the locker room, change into my No. 48 uniform with "Gaffney" on the back, and walk into the dugout to see the first pitch of the game. I met a few players, but didn't want to be a distraction and figured I would have plenty of time to introduce myself on the eight-hour bus ride after the game. This is how most of the season went, rinse and repeat. The bus rides weren't as bad as I thought they would be. The longest trip was 10 hours.
The actual playing season was a lot of fun. I think I learned a lot and became a much better baseball player. However, some things never change. I walked a good amount and led our division in being hit by pitches. I had the opportunity to play center field and right field for the Spikes, and I hit in most spots in the lineup.
The State College area is beautiful and very homey. I lived with a host family—the Oylers—and they took me in as one of their own. I keep in touch with them and look forward to meeting up again.
The end of my baseball season brought around the beginning of college football. Needless to say, I was excited. Besides the fact that Stanford was 2-0 by the time I left, I got to experience the first two weeks of college football with the Penn State family. Everybody in the town absolutely loved Penn State football and tailgates were great. It was fun to see another college campus and how they bled their school colors. It got me excited to go be a fan at Stanford for the first time since I had played.
My decision to return to school was a long, drawn-out process. Ultimately, it came down to what was best for me. I came back to finish my degree in sociology and minor in psychology. I also have one year of eligibility left for football and want to help contribute as much as possible towards a Stanford Cardinal championship season. Once again, my parents were a huge help in this process and I can't thank them enough.
After I made my decision, I approached Stanford and the Pirates at about the same time and let them know of my plans. Stanford welcomed me back, and the Pirates have been great to me. The organization helps build character and manhood while simultaneously making you a better ballplayer. I had learned a ton from the team and hope to use that knowledge somewhere down the road.
Completing my degree at Stanford is very important to me. It was constantly in the back of my mind while I was playing for the Pirates. I recognize its importance in today's world, and I know it will make my family proud.
After the baseball season, I took two weeks off, then hit the weight room hard. I started shifting my lifts so that they were tailored a little more for football. I'm excited about starting spring ball on April 1, especially since it will be my first-ever spring practice, and I look forward to participating in the Cardinal & White (Spring) Game.
I missed football very much. The game has an unreal atmosphere everywhere you go, and the energy of the crowd runs through your blood, whether you're getting applause or being booed. Nobody goes through workouts like football teams do. You find yourself around your teammates 24/7 because of all you go through together—practice, off-season workouts, and games. You grow close at Stanford and become a Nerd Nation family. I needed to be a part of that family again, and I will do my best to help Stanford make another championship run.

re: RearthRingke silicon case and Official Cowon J3 protective film
Just wondering, how good the rearth ringke silicon cases are, as well as the official J3 protective film.
'Cause, I've already ordered http://cgi.ebay.com/Cowon-J3-Silicon...item3f01932d9e
[the above]
cheap $5 silicon case, and am unsure of its quality.
Also, I ordered a $2 pack of 5xiPhone protective films, which I intended to cut to size to fit on the J3's screen.
It was a total of under $10 from ebay including shipping, so I don't mind ditching those to purchase higher quality items.
|[Remove Advertisement]
I'm happy with my silicone case. For me, its better than the leather case (which doesn't cover the buttons) because I could cut holes in it (using small scissors worked better than a razor) for the FF, Play, Volume Down, and Power buttons to be able to distinguish between them when pressing them through the outside of my pocket. Don't know how that'd work out for the jelly case. Some say the silicone cases are more difficult to remove from your pockets and attract dust and lint, but I haven't found this to be the case with cotton shorts. Interesting thing about them is that they glow in the dark for awhile when you turn the light off.

Ah okay =(
The thing I wanted to avoid was cutting holes in it, cause dust will get in there then xD.
I miiiight just go and buy the ones from rearth ringke.
Was it hard to cut the holes?
I used small, thin grooming scissors (the kind for trimming nose hairs, ear hairs, eyebrows, and such), which enable you to make the precise cuts you need in such a small area. The silicone cuts easily and cleanly--unless you tear it, in which case it leaves a ragged edge, but its soft stuff so it doesn't really matter. You might get a cleaner cut with a razor, but it had better be a sharp one because the silicone just bunched up and tore when I tried to use an old dull one.
You can pick how big you want to make the holes maybe based on your finger size. I made mine small at first but ended up enlarging them because it was easier to push the buttons that way than 'burrowing' into a narrow crevice with my finger.
You can pick which buttons you want to cut holes for based on usage. The ones there are holes for are a little easier to press than the ones covered by silicone (and you can clearly feel them clicking through cloth, whereas with the silicone-covered buttons its harder to tell). Don't cut holes for buttons that are right next to each other or that would defeat the purpose. I chose the FF button first because I use it all the time to skip commercials in podcasts. (If you were doing language learning where you had to skip back a few seconds all the time, you might prefer to cut the hole for the RW button.) Then I did the Play button because its right next to the RW button and its hard to distinguish between them. Then the Volume Down rather than the Volume Up because I care more about being able to lower the volume quickly than raising it. I thought about leaving the Power button covered because that would help in distinguishing which side of the player you were grasping, but decided the ease of use in pressing the uncovered button outweighed that.

Ahh okay, cool thanks. I might give that a try once my silicon case arrives.
Could I trouble you to tell me which silicon case you bought Because I'm aware that there are several on different ones for sale on ebay, and just maaaybe, I'm hoping, the one I had comes with raised sections where buttons are. Assuming you got yours from ebay, did you get the ones with different colours available and came with a screen protector, or just the 2.99 GBP black one?
I got this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Cowon-J3-Silicon...item3eff9334a5.
The only problem with it was it was sprayed with some kind of cleaning fluid, so I had to leave it out in the sun a few days to get rid of the smell, but that totally eliminated it. It did come with a screen protector. The buttons *are* raised on this one but not much and they're not easily differentiable by touch. There's 2 inherent limitations with the J3 itself that the skin can't overcome:
1) the FF and RW buttons on the J3 itself are both rectangular (the biggest problem IMO, in terms of functionality. If it were an angled rocker switch like a light switch, maybe it would be ok) and have zero gap between them, so it makes little difference if the skin's buttons are raised or not. Same goes for the Volume Up and Down buttons, although inexplicably they *do* have a small gap between them--just not big enough to be much help, given problem (2) below. And there's only a very small gap between the FF and RW buttons and the Play button. Its easy to press the wrong button, especially if you have big fingers, unless you carefully feel out the distance before pressing anything. If you have a 2-hour podcast paused and accidentally hit RW instead of Play, you lose your place and have to spend quite some time finding it again. Having a big chunk of silicone covering the RW button prevents this.
2) the J3's buttons' protrude very little distance from the player (presumably because this is more aesthetically pleasing), making it harder to both distinguish between the buttons and have a clear sensation that the buttons have been pushed. Add a thick layer of pressure-absorbing silicone on top of this and its even worse and also requires a lot more pressure to press the button. The buttons on the skin could have been made to protrude more than they do, but that would necessitate even more finger pressure to press them and make the click of the button even less detectable.
My last player was an iRiver that had a mini-joystick that was easy to operate through the outside my pocket. It also had well-raised round buttons separated by big gaps that made it impossible to hit the wrong one. But form seems to have won out over function and using a silicone skin like this now is the best that can be made of things.

i think silicone cases are ugly.
somehow the jelly one attracts me more but i ordered the plastic case which i hear is garbage...i dont know what to do.
i am still waiting for my plastic case and my protective film thing.
Ahh okay cool thanks
The silicon case I ordered was a different one, black, case only, no protector. I'll hope for the best then, maybe it has better usability in terms of raised button sections. =D

How to Peel a Banana, Monkey Style!
Apparently, we've all been peeling bananas the wrong way. You don't start at the stem. Instead, trying peel from the little nub at the tip, it's so much easier:
Now, isn't it weird that a grown man is wearing monkey pajamas? I suspect he still lives at home with his parents and plays World of Warcraft all day.
Via Serious Eats.
Image credit: somedirection
ha! i was going to comment on the monkey pants, but you took care of that! classic!
Hi Gerry
I must admit I have never ever thought of peeling it the other way.
I have wrecked more than a few bananas when the top is a bit soft and doesn't come apart easily.
Cheers, Steve
How about if you try to open it from the bottom ind it just sqishes the bottom of the banana. Has anyone heard of a knife? Make a cut part though th stem part you are trying to break and no problem.

The Mighty High and Dry
(self-released CD)
By Scott Gudell
If you sift through the ashes of the band Street Level, Alan Murphy's mid-2000's band, you'll find a few musical hints of yesterday showing up here and there on his brand new outing with Rochester rockers, The Mighty High and Dry. There are still hints of the driving R and B and funk that bubbled to the surface on that disc from a few years back, but for the most part, this is a new chapter…a new book.
The new project draws its inspiration from classic rock bands such as the Stones and Neil Young, and updates everything with shards of the Black Keys, as well as a few well chosen ripples of Americana through the lens of groups such as The Doors. It's a confident disc that keeps things moving forward from "Shine," the opening track to, well, "Shine," a reprise of the opener at the end of the disc. The next few songs strut Motown, blues, and straight ahead rock, while maintaining a churning, aggressive sound.
Of the 14 original songs, there are a few standouts. including "Shine," an infectious, upbeat cut; "Trust Me Brother," with its nod to Richie Havens, and "War is It," an aggressive in-your-face blast of rock. From its salute to such classic acts as Steely Dan and Graham Parker ("You Ain't Ready"), to its gut bucket blues ("Snake"), the collection succeeds overall.
Once you realize that there's consistency as well as variety, you'll find yourself wondering what the next track will reveal. Grab a copy and find out. It's a fun ride!
Editor's Note: The Mighty High and Dry is gearing up for performances celebrating the release of their new disc in August. You can catch one of the upcoming shows at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, on August 2.

BBG Research Series: Indonesia – TV Still King, Mobile and Internet Up, Radio Slides
The BBG and Gallup released finding of their latest survey of media use in Indonesia. The data shows that access to mobile continues to climb, along with a sharp rise in web access…
As part of its ongoing research series on media use, the BBG and Gallup presented findings from its latest survey of Indonesia.
Traditionally a strong television market, the 2012 data show Indonesians still turn to TV first. But it also shows continued growth in access to mobile phones and the media consumptions activity that go along with phone ownership. Radio, never dominant, continued to slide for news consumption.
96% of Indonesians use television at least once per week for news, but half now said they were now getting news via SMS – driven by increased access to mobile phones.
From 2011-2012, access to mobile at the household level increased from 67% to 81%, with 26% of those aged 15-24 reporting access to smartphones.
Friends and family were cited as the number two source for news on a daily basis, only slightly ahead of SMS — truly a statistical tie.
Radio lags, with just 12% reporting using the medium for news on a daily basis. Radio's overall slide continues, with radio ownership dropping to 38% — down from 50% just two years ago.
Selected slides from the presentation:
The data is the result of face-to-face surveys of 3,000 Indonesians done in the country from July 1 to August 1, 2012.

Match Point: Get To Know Sonia Bokhari
April 2, 2013
Sonia Bokhari's dad has been her main coach since she started playing at age 8. Like other tennis players who are coached by a parent, Sonia says her dad took it seriously, but for her it was sometimes a mixed blessing - a kind of love-hate relationship. These days, the pressure is off a little bit, since when she's home in New Jersey in the summer, her dad spends more time with her brother, who is 15.
At UMass, where she transferred after a year at Louisville, she has little time for anything except tennis and her studies as an economics major. Tennis was the main reason she came to UMass. "I met and liked the team. They were a good fit for me, a really nice, funny group," she says. On the court, she plays at number 1 and 2 interchangeably, depending on which school they are playing. Although she plays doubles, she prefers singles, describing herself as aggressive on the court, liking to play at the baseline with a strong, flat forehand.
One thing she makes sure to find time for is the Muslim Student Association, where she goes every Friday to pray at the Campus Center. Her family, who came from Pakistan before she was born, keep her in touch with their traditions and culture. During her early years she traveled to visit family in Lahore regularly. She speaks several of the languages of that country - Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi - as well as Spanish, which she studied in school. Her economics major, she hopes, will lead to a job in investment banking. She likes the banking world and enjoys New York City, where so much of it happens.
Sonia works hard to stay fit, a regimen which includes all of the team's practices and conditioning sessions. She also tries to eat right. On the day she was interviewed, for instance, she'd had brown rice, pesto chicken, a salad of celery, carrots and spinach for lunch." She tries to eat two or three hours before any match. But even more important for her is sleep. "That affects me more than food," she says. "I really need seven or eight hours or I get zombie-like."
Coach Judy Dixon says, "Sonia has the cleanest strokes on the team and hits a hard flat ball. She tries to play calmly as is her nature, but she actually does best when she plays with fire. Then she would like to drill her opponents with the ball." Like all successful competitors, Sonia hates to lose.

Summer has officially arrived and the temperature is starting to rise. So what happens in our gardens this month?
For the vegetable gardeners, pick tomatoes, cucumbers and squash when young and tender. Leaving them too long on the plant makes them bitter. Harvesting often also encourages new vegetables to form. If any plants look diseased, now is the time to replace them with new plantings for a second crop in the fall.
Intermittent rains and watering of plants can cause standing water which encourages mosquito growth. Empty any pots or plant saucers of water. Bird baths should have the water changed daily. Water gardens or even ditches and low lying areas where water accumulates can be treated with products that prevent the larvae from hatching. These products come in solid or granular formulas.
If your lawnmower is cutting the grass too short, this puts stress on the lawn and allows it to dry out faster. Raise the setting on your mower to about 1 1/2" for Bermuda grass and 2 - 3" for fescue. And when watering your lawn, water less often but allow it to soak down past the roots. This encourages deep root growth which carries the plants through times of drought.
To add some color to your garden, try introducing coneflowers. Now is a good time to plant container grown ones. Just plant at the same depth as they are in the pot and water well to help them get established. They come in different colors of purples, oranges and yellows; even some white ones are now available. They prefer full sun and well drained soil with some organic matter added.

Set your laptop power settings so that it may use minimal quantity of Power essential to get your notebook running. More bright LCD display demand more battery. Adjust brightness when ever running the Notebook on the battery.
Terminate entire needless applications when your laptop based over HP Pavilion DV2610US Battery pack as major power source. Do not perform anti-virus scan when our notebook depending on Li-ion battery, since the scan especially increases processor & hard drive utilization when depending on notebook battery. Try to stay away from connect by the internet application unless it's absolutely necessary, if you are relying on your HP Pavilion DV2610US laptop battery as the main power supply. Run anti virus scan when we are associate to major power source. Do not run virus scan while we are working on Li-ion notebook battery. This will preserve Li-ion battery energy.
When ever it's possible try to decrease usage of USB devices such as optical DVD/CD drives/players, tend to use up the extra power to control. Detach these devices and USB devices have the maximal Priority to use up the battery energy. Unplug all extra devices such as an external mouse, fire wire, PC cards, Wi-Fi tool box, Outside speakers, pen drives Bluetooth and even the connected iPod.
Both Hibernate and Suspend modes are for saving Power of this laptop battery although, generally laptops consumes a lot of Li-ion Battery power when ever in STAND BY form. We do not know the reasons but the "instant-on" capture 30-60 second's extra period of time to go away of Hibernation method. This lesser amount of time draws a big impact on the whole laptop battery life duration. In the hibernate method in & out are very convenient & impressive than the usual start & shutdown activity. When in hibernate method the shutdown process offers the possibility to suspend existing process directly with the power off and while in start up operation this can go on with in a few seconds completely, Thus the method saves power. But stand by technique decrease the power expenditure of ours notebook through not supplying the energy to hardware peripherals that we are not using. Hence by using hibernate mode you can preserve the Notebook Power pack energy. We may build a shortcut icon to hibernate as an alternative of the lengthy activity (for first time carrying out the manual steps in control panel afterward use the created shortcut icon by Pressing "Windows button" pursue by U followed by H). If you have a bit of work at outside for long period, in that state use the hibernate method as a replacement using stand by mode.
Every Laptop user need to achieve the HP Pavilion DV2610US Notebook battery end as long as possible. However each notebook battery had a Specific life period. Hence in case you can go through the above worthy laptop battery suggestions that will support to preserve the notebook battery life.

The New Jersey Devils will kick off a set of back-to-back games in Florida this weekend, starting with the Panthers tonight before taking on the Lightning on Saturday. Both games will have a different feel than the last time they met, featuring some familiar faces in unfamiliar places.
It's a reunion that needs no introduction, but will receive many leading up to tonight's affair between the Devils and Panthers as Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider square off once more following a trade between the Vancouver Canucks and the Panthers that brought Luongo back to the city he played five seasons in from 2000-2006.
Luongo began his second stint as a Panther on Mar. 7 with a shutout win over the Buffalo Sabres, but followed up the victory with a couple of stinkers, giving up seven goals in his last two starts
In 22 career games against the Devils, the former Canucks goaltender has nine wins, including one earlier this season while he was still in Vancouver.
The Panthers have lost four of their last five outings and have been outscored 13-7 in their last three.
Scott Gomez
Oh Scott Gomez. Silly, silly, Scott Gomez.
After seven successful seasons with the Devils in which he won two Stanley Cups and a Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the Year, Gomez moved on to the big flashing lights of New York City, only to find out first hand that what glitters isn't always gold.
The former first round draft pick by the Devils has one goal and eight assists this season with the Panthers and just one point in his last four since clearing waivers on March 5. His lone goal of the season came on opening night back in October.
In 23 games against the Devils, the Anchorage, Alaska native has four goals and 13 assists.
Krys Barch
Yea, he will be there as well.
Ryan Callahan
Seeing Ryan Callahan on the opponent's bench isn't that out of the ordinary for the Devils. But seeing him in a lineup next to Steven Stamkos sure is.
Having spent the last eight seasons with the New York Rangers, Callahan has met up with New Jersey on 31 occasions, tallying 10 goals and 24 points against his former rival.
The ex-Rangers captain was traded to Tampa Bay on March 5 as part of the biggest trade this season which involved Martin St. Louis leaving his post with the Lightning to go to New York City, a destination he would not let up on to his one-time general manager, Steve Yzerman.
Callahan notched his first goal as a Bolt in last night's win over the Panthers, extending his point streak to three games.

Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and UC San Diego developed a new tool called MAPAS (membrane-associated protein assessments) to study how proteins contact cell membranes.
The traditional method of studying proteins has difficulty in identifying the key parts of a protein that will participate in membrane contact, report the investigators. "It's extremely important to explore the structural details of the zone where the protein contacts the membrane so that we can understand the molecular mechanisms of disease development," notes Igor F Tsigelny at UCSD. "This knowledge gives crucial guidance in selecting which among many possible compounds are most likely to do well in tests to intervene in such protein-membrane interactions and help treat these diseases."
The MAPAS tool, the researchers explain, takes as a starting point a protein's known 3-D shape and then applies a set of scoring methods based on comprehensive steered molecular dynamics calculations to predict whether this protein structure can form strong contacts with the cell membrane.
If so, MAPAS goes on to identify all the flat faces or planes that make up this protein, they add. It is these planar protein surfaces that can attach to the cell membrane. MAPAS predicts which of these regions are most likely to bind to the membrane based on specific protein contacts with the lipids or fats that make up the membrane, according to the scientists.
The team validated the performance of MAPAS by confirming that it correctly models a number of membrane-contacting proteins that are already known.
The researchers describe the new MAPAS tool in the February 2008 online edition of Nature Methods.

I love this wig, it's super soft and looks great. I expected to have to style it a lot and comb out a bunch of snarls once I first opened the package, but surprisingly didn't have to. It also has combed out very easily so far and hasn't frayed yet. I also love how it's very thick, yet the clips don't weigh down on my head and make the wig feel extremely heavy. It's very comfortable to wear. Thank you so much! :)
I just wanted to say that I got the outfit today and I absolutely love it! Thank you!
Kerry 2013-10-28
I absoloutely loved my Lenalee cosplay! It was perfect, I wore it to the London MCM Comic Con on the 26th October. Here is my picture of me wearing it :D .
Kerry 2013-09-13

I ordered the Lenalee cosplay to match my friend who had ordered the Allen cosplay from your site. I got many awesome comments on it and was sure to mention that I purchased it from your site. It is very nice quality and the price was really good on it too. I wore it to Anime Kaigi in Flagstaff, AZ.

Francois Pinon Vouvray Brut Petillant Non-Dose
Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine from Loire, France
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Tiny, persistent bubbles are the first sign of this wine's refinement. It delivers the tuffeau soil savor and the quince-scented chenin of Vouvray in an extremely dry style, its laser focus softened by scents of orange blossom, honey and fresh cream. Youthful and tightly wound, this will age with grace."
International Wine Cellar - "Pale yellow with a strong bead. Lemon rind and pear on the nose, plus a strong note of talc. Tangy and sharply focused on entry, offering brisk citrus and dusty mineral flavors that gain richness with air while retaining vivacity. Then quite dry on the back, with noteworthy finishing clarity and lingering minerality. This puts on weight with air and will be very flexible at the table. "
Francois Pinon Winery
The wines of François Pinon are considered among the finest of Vouvray. François, a former child psychologist, took over the estate from his father in 1987, and has steadily made a name for the estate over the past 10 years. He is a serious winemaker whose main focus is "to keep the typicity of both the appellation and the vintage" in all his wines.
The vineyards are in the corniche of the Vallée de Cousse. The soil is clay and silica on a base of limestone (tuffeau) with flint (silex) and the area is rated among the top sites in the appellation for Vouvrays of distinction and long life. Pinon follows a discipline of plowing the vineyards, not using chemical fertilizers and pesticides and, of course, he harvests by hand and uses no cultured yeasts. All new plantings are done by selection and no nursery clones are used; the vines are an average of 25 years old. He is slowly moving towards organic certification with confidence that these methods produce the finest fruit. View all Francois Pinon Wines
About LoireChenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

This article was written by Oilprice.com -- the leading provider of energy news in the world. Also check out this recent article.
Just weeks after the US announced its first test sale of crude oil from strategic reserves since 1990, billionaire philanthropist George Soros is lobbying for the release of more reserves on the market to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On 12 March, the US said it would dip into its emergency stockpile to release 5 million barrels onto the market, causing oil prices to drop to their lowest in a month, and this week, Soros has gone public with his proposal to release more as a way to hit back at Moscow for its annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.
Speaking at a panel in Berlin on 20 March, Soros said that the United States had the power to pressure Putin most effectively by selling oil reserves to depress prices.
"The Russian economy is very weak because the oligarchs who run the country don't trust it and they send their money abroad," Soros said. "So if you stop the inflow of funds, that will bring the Russian economy to its knees."
The logic behind the proposal is based on the fact that Russia's economic success over the past decade and more has largely been attributed to high oil and commodity prices. So if oil prices fall, with help from a release of US strategic reserves, Russia could end up heavily exposed.
Speaking with Bloomberg news agency, Philip Verleger, a consultant who worked in the Ford and Carter administrations, suggested that Washington could push down global oil prices by as much as $12 a barrel by selling 500,000 barrels a day from the strategic reserve. This, he indicated, could cost Russia around $40 billion in lost sales.
Ukraine energy expert Robert Bensh agreed, telling Oilprice.com earlier this month that oil prices were Russia's "Achilles Heel".
The plan, however, would depend on cooperation from OPEC. Analysts have pointed out that the plan will require compliance from other major producers such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Iran—who are also dependent on oil prices. If they were to counter the US move, it would have zero effect.
Some lawmakers are on board, but there are no indications that Washington would be willing to adopt this policy at this time.
"America can and should be an energy superpower," Senator Mary Landrieu, chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said this week at her first hearing as head of the panel, according to a Bloomberg report. "The last thing Putin and his cronies want is competition from the United States of America in the energy race."
US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz is not on board, and has denied any connection between Russia's move on the Crimea and the 12 March announcement of the strategic crude test sale.
According to the US Department of Energy, US strategic reserves equal 696 million barrels stored in underground salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana since 1975. In 2011, amid unrest in Libya, the US drew 30 million barrels from the reserve.
OPEC is absolutely terrified of this game-changer
Imagine a company that rents a very specific and valuable piece of machinery for $41,000... per hour (that's almost as much as the average American makes in a year!). And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare. Just click HERE to uncover the name of this industry-leading stock... and join Buffett in his quest for a veritable LANDSLIDE of profits!

September is a month that is known for many things including the Labor Day holiday which indicates the unofficial end of summer. However most people don't know that September is known as "Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month." Even editors and writers might not be aware of this special honor.
Why do we celebrate "Be Kind of Editors and Writers Month"? That's because editors and writers work hard to provide interesting reading for others to read, enjoy and become inspired. Editors and writers have the creativity and knowledge to make this happen, but it requires a special effort.
Editors and writers have the best job in the world. They use their imaginative minds to string words and phrases together more beautifully than the ordinary person ever could. An editor is one who reads, revises and makes suggestions for the writer. A writer is a person who uses written words in various styles and techniques to communicate facts and ideas. Writers produce various forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, poetry, plays, news articles, screenplays, and essays. Writers can produce material across a number of genres, fictional or non-fictional.
Writers work professionally or non-professionally for payment or without payment and may be paid either in advance, or only after their work is published. Payment is only one of the motivations of writers and many are never paid for their work.Some writers write just for the thrill of it.
Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month is a time to show any writer you may know how much you value their hard work and devotion. It is hard to imagine a world without editors and writers. It would be dull and boring, and it would be nearly impossible to know what's going on in the world or what to be entertained and enlightened about. You can show editors and writers gratitude in many ways, but the most important of all these ways is to read their work and to recommend their literary work to others.
Know that editors and writers often burn the midnight oil. When a creative idea is on our mind we have to share it with others. Let's make this a two-fold effort. Be kind to this writer, and this writer promises to be kind to you by sharing newsworthy articles as well as evergreen articles.
Read and share. It it not enough to click "like" on Facebook without reading the article. Open the link and click "like" within the article. Additionally, you can click "share" on your Facebook page so that others may read the article as well. Let's work together. As long as you continue to reader, this writer will continue to write.

Attempted Federal Reserve Bomber Kind of Likes Lockup
He'll be seeing more of it.
Quazi Nafis has already pleaded guilty to trying to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank, and professed his disdain for violent jihad. In a letter to the judge ahead of his federal sentencing hearing Friday he wrote glowingly of his jail experience so far — moreso than the awkward adolescence and heartbreak he says drove him to consider terrorism in the first place. "At a very young age I was a serious stammerer and my serious stammering problem has been going on for years," the 21-year-old wrote to Judge Carol Amon, in a letter seeking leniency published by the New York Daily News. He fell in with extremists on his university campus in his native Bangladesh, he wrote. He had a girlfriend there too. It was when he heard she had cheated on him that he began thinking of a terrorist attack.
I felt like the whole sky fell down over my head. I thought that there was no place for me in this earth neither was there anything for me to give a reason to stay alive.
I could not kill myself, which is forbidden in Islam. I lost the ability to think straight. I went crazy. And that way I justified my killing myself with a jihadist act.
Nafis went on to praise the guards and inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he's been incarcerated since his arrest last fall. "My experience at MDC has helped me a lot to change my complete view towards America," he wrote, explaining how he'd taken the opportunity to read the whole Koran for the first time. "The thing I like about MDC is that everybody is treated fairly and equally," he went on. He was "happy and surprised" to get a holiday package at Christmas.
Nafis faces life in prison, so even if Amon does give him some amount of leniency he's looking at many, many years behind bars. At least he's making the most of it.

New figures show more Florida students are graduating from high school and fewer are dropping out. The state graduation rate climbed to more than 75 percent and the dropout rate fell below three percent.
Bay district's graduation rate fell slightly, with 78.5 percent of the students entering ninth grade four years ago, staying in school to graduate from high school this past spring. Bay's rate is second lowest in the ten county areas, with only Franklin County having a lower graduation percentage. Tiny Liberty County graduated almost 96 percent of its students.
Liberty really shines when you examine the new dropout rates. They had no dropouts last year! Bay's rate is 1.7 percent and that's much better than the 2.5 percent rate the year before. The biggest improvement came in Franklin County where the dropout rate is now less than a third of what it was in 2006-2007.
"We started in about '98 at about 56 percent of students graduating and that's a measure basically of students going through the process in 4 years. We have increased that now to 78 percent. We have programs to make sure we contain those who are falling through the cracks. Every teacher pays attention to it," said Ginger Littleton, Bay Co. School Board Chair.

Red and White army on tour
by Kate Smith
Scores of supporters enjoyed fans' evening in HK.
Against the backdrop of the picturesque Hong Kong skyline, The Quarterdeck was the perfect venue to play host to Sunderland AFC's official Fans' Night.
In what's becoming a somewhat of a pre-season tradition, the club and fans got together whilst on tour to celebrate all things red and white.
Almost 200 supporters packed out the restaurant, situated on the edge of Hong Kong harbour and enjoyed an evening of food, drinks and football chatter.
There was also a special Sunderland themed quiz with a signed shirt up for grabs and the night was topped with a truly unique rendition of 'The 12 days of Christmas' – with its own Sunderland twist, of course.
The football club would like to extend its thanks to all who attended the evening and a big thank you to the Hong Kong SAFCSA for all of their hard work in arranging the evening and all The Quarterdeck for their fine hospitality.

1* Free Play OVER Rockies/Dodgers.
The visitors hand the ball to Chad Bettis (6-5, 5.84 ERA) who was rocked for seven runs off 12 hits with three walks over five innings in a fortunate no-decision vs. the Diamondback on Sunday. Bettis has been particularly poor in this spot all year, sporting a 5.23 ERA on the road and an even worse 2-4, 6.25 ERA in all "night" games. The home side counters with Scott Kazmir (6-3, 4.67) who notched a win vs. the Pirates in his last outing despite giving up four runs off four hits and four walks over five innings. Note that Kazmir owns a pedestrian 4.00 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year. Game-to-game consistency has plagued each of these starters, consider a second look at the OVER in this one.

Clustering: The Basic Building Block
By Application Grid Product Marketing on Mar 31, 2009
The runtime "container" is the foundational element in middleware. In the Java world the container is most commonly an application server server such as Oracle WebLogic Server; in the C/C++/COBOL world it is a transaction processing monitor (TPM) such as Oracle Tuxedo.
There are two broad categories of functionality provided by a container: the functions invoked explicitly by the contained code, and the functions carried out irrespective of the contained code. The first category includes the application programming interfaces (APIs) implemented by the container--in the case of Java application servers these are the Java Enterprise Edition APIs such those supporting transactions, Web services, etc. The second category includes management, availability, and scaling capabilities that are independent of the contained code.
The first category, the APIs, are largely about developer productivity (developers focus on higher level business logic rather than constantly re-inventing/rewriting low-level code) reliability (API functionality implemented in the container is mature and well-tested) and ease of integration (interfaces are standardized). The second category of container functions is where "enterpris-class" is manifested: this is where a basic piece of code becomes manageable, scalable, highly available, and high-performance.
The fundamental mechanism that containers implement to achieve manageable and reliable performance at scale is clustering. Clustering is the ability to have multiple instances of the container ("nodes") be grouped together and contain identical copies of code and/or data. The nodes may each run on a different physical server or in some more complex configuration.
A cluster can be used most simply as a high availability mechanism in which all nodes in the cluster are identical, and in the event that one node fails, its workload is picked up and carried on by another node in the cluster.
A more sophisticated use of container clustering is for "scaling out". In this case the cluster has nodes containing identical copies of the application code but workload is "load balanced" across the nodes. Each node will be serving different users or sessions or subsets of transaction work and thus have different data or "state". (Scaling out means to increase the capacity of an application by adding more nodes to a cluster, as opposed to "scaling up", which means to add capacity by running the application on a more powerful physical server).
The ability to distribute work across nodes in a cluster is the the basic enabler for containers to be assembled in a grid architecture and form application grid. The particular qualities of a container's clustering mechanism--how quickly and dynamically nodes can be added to and removed from clusters, how automatic such adjustment can be made, etc.--strongly determine how effective a particular application grid architecture can be made.

Hobie Call was 10 years old when he decided he wanted to be the best runner in the world, a goal that would drive him through a number of first-place finishes in high school and into All-American honors as a cross country and steeplechase runner in college. Call pursued his dream at a pace few could match, setting the course record at the 2007 Top of Utah Marathon and qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Trials. Then Call discovered obstacle racing. Joe De Sena was offering $100,000 to anyone who could win all of his 2011 Spartan races," he recalls. "I was doing high-intensity workouts with my running and thought I might excel at this kind of race." He was right. Before entering the Spartan Death Race—a 48-hour affair opening with a six-hour rock toss—he won six Spartan races in a row. Call has since established himself as the series' preeminent competitor, winning more than 25 events over a two-year span. He trains two hours a day, six days a week to sustain his success, but that doesn't mean it's all work. "This is the fastest growing sport in the world for a reason," he says. "It's fun to train for, fun to compete in, fun to watch. It's an adult playground."

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that have posted!! For so long, all I have read is negative, negative, negative about preemies.....makes me sick!! But tonight when I found this group..what a relief!! I'm not the only one out there that refuses to hear the "what you're baby SHOULD be doing, etc!!" My little man was born last July, a little over two months early at 3lbs 15oz and 18 inches long. My placenta abrupted leaving us both in a scary situation, but what a beautiful gift I received that day!! So thank you, to each and every one of you that has posted your story about your beautiful, little angels!! Best of luck!

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your little miracle! We are here for you.
Mom of two girls: 12/30/08, 11/26/12
Welcome! It is always good to know what our kids "should" be doing so we can help and guide them but not to the exclusion of enjoying every moment of who they "are".
I spent a year (at least) focusing on what my dd was supposed to be doing and working relentlessly to get her to the next milestone. In the meantime, I missed the joy of her 1st year In our case, I'm not sure it could have been different b/c my focus on her development eventually revealed some medical things that would not have otherwise been dx'd so early but I was sad when I realized how much energy I spent focused on the milestones with nothing left for my enjoyment of her as an infant.
Welcome to the group. THis place has been a life line for me this past year. I hope that we can offer you advice/words of wisdom and friendship!!
Mom to Isaic (2-24-08 at 28 weeks 6 days 2lbs 4oz)

Yay! I'm so glad you found our group -- we're one big happy family here Welcome!

welcome :) My preemie was born last July as well due to pre-eclampsia.I am glad that you found our group. it is truly helpful.
Aww welcome to the group, so glad you found us!! our son was born last July also and was 3ls 7oz.....he is doing great now :) So glad you are here!

Leslie, 32 weeker due to severe Pre-Eclampsia/HELLP
Born on 08/16/08 - Weighed 2lbs 15oz - 16 inchs (EDD 10-15-08)
I'll tell you my story. Ethan was due 8/11/08 he graced us with his presence on 6/3/08. He was 3lbs 9oz 16.5 inches long. He was on CPAP for the first 6hrs of his life after that he needed no help. He was in the NICU for 52 days (had some problems with bottle feeding) he came home 7/25/08. Now he's cruising, saying his only word (kitty), is about 19lbs, & giving me attitude. Ethan definately has a mind of his own. Not all preemie stories are sad. Many people don't know that the survival rate of preemies is 60% & above depending on gestation. We don't know the fact b/c of all the horror stories. When I had Ethan I thought that's it I'm going to lose my little guy before I get to know him. My MIL was a preemie 50yrs ago, my Dh's cousin was preemie 28 yrs ago. So I do know that survival is possible. But I had heard so many horror stories that I figured they were in the minority. I like hearing the success stories. It's nice to know there are some out there.

Fairy tales provide timeless, but often predictable characters and plot lines. Princesses are kind and alluring young women who face some kind of jeopardy, usually because of a jealous relative. A brave prince is needed to secure her safety, and after some exciting twists and turns, they live happily ever after. Although Cameron Diaz is in "Sex Tape," a new film that bears little resemblance to any respectable fairy tale, she holds forth as a very unconventional princess in the 2001 animated fairy tale, "Shrek."
In "Shrek," the unlikely hero, Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers), is a big, unsavory ogre who lives in a small shack all by himself. Since anti-ogre bias is an ongoing issue for him, he makes his peace with his loner lifestyle. One day, while walking through a forest, he meets Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), one of many animals and characters who has been ostracized by Lord Farquaad (voiced by John Lithgow). Like Shrek, Donkey does not have friends. Our hero finds him annoying since he rarely stops talking. He agrees to let Donkey spend one night at his shack. One that night, various fairy tale characters come to Shrek's swamp. Wanting to get rid of them, Shrek goes with Donkey to Farquaad's castle. Farquaad sends the cross-species buddy team on a mission to go to a dragon-guarded castle to find Princess Fiona (voiced by Diaz) and bring her back so he can marry her and assume control of his kingdom. On their way back to the castle, Shrek and Fiona fall for each other.
"Shrek" has many memorable action scenes. One is when Shrek and Donkey find Fiona and have to bring her out of the castle. The fire-breathing dragon makes that very difficult, though quite funny. Another is a hilarious fight between Fiona and Robin Hood and his men. Like many movie scenes from the early 2000s, this scene is inspired by "The Matrix."
Mike Myers does strong work in the lead role. Although he is grouchy, Shrek is still a sympathic hero. Eddie Murphy is very funny as Donkey, his talkative sidekick.
"Shrek" is a great choice for fans of animation and classic stories, with a twist.
