finance planning, simplified Hogan approaches college planning as an
exercise that requires families to focus on the answers to two main questions:
How much time do you have to plan? And will your family be eligible for financial
aid? The planning strategy for families that are eligible for aid versus those
that are not is not only different, she says, "but exactly the opposite."
For instance, when qualifying for financial aid is
a strong probability, the goal would be to minimize the amount of assets in the
child's name. That's because these assets would count against the child to a much
greater degree than they would the parents in the computation of the financial
aid formula.
But if a family doesn't qualify for financial
aid, says Hogan, "it becomes a tax-planning game. What you're trying to do is
take advantage of the fact that students are in a lower tax bracket than the parents."
Ironically, the tax laws don't help the families that can
best afford to pay tuition because of income limitations. For example, the Lifetime
Learning and Hope credits begin phasing out when income exceeds $42,000 for individuals,
$85,000 for married couples filing jointly.
So the strategy
for high-income parents would be to shift assets to their children. That way,
the student can capture the Lifetime Learning or Hope credits for the family and
take advantage of other tax-saving opportunities. In her article, Hogan shows
how parents with three college students can enjoy savings of as much as $18,000
in one year by shifting assets to their children.
and improved 529 plans Hogan is not a big fan of 529 plans because
of their potential to impact financial aid eligibility. Her advice is for grandparents
to own the 529 savings plan rather than parents or children. She also dislikes
these plans because it's "hard to keep up with plan changes," which contain "lots
of important fine print."
But this is one problem that we
are working on solving, right here at Bankrate. You can compare
the various 529 plans in Bankrate's College Finance channel. This efficient
way of comparing plan costs is the result of Bankrate's collaboration with Joe
Hurley, renowned 529 plan guru, who will soon launch a column on Bankrate that
will focus on answering readers' questions about college financing.
earlier this year, I
wrote that 529 plans were chock-full of flaws because they weren't very forthcoming
about performance information or fees?
Hurley reports that
things have improved significantly this year. "There is much better disclosure
now in most of the 529 plans, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to compare
because the fee structures are so varied," he says. "By summarizing it the way
we do is actually much less confusing than going to the official disclosures."

PD: Kids caught stealing $50-60K of computer gear from Maryvale school
PHOENIX - Police say four teens have been arrested after burglarizing a Maryvale middle school.
Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said the teens stole between $50 and $60 thousand dollars worth of computer gear from Desert Sands Middle School near 63rd Avenue and Camelback Road.
Thompson said on Wednesday, police responded to the school after 18 laptops, 21 desktop computers and three projectors were reported stolen.
On Thursday, police responded to the school again when an alarm went off and found one of the teens had returned to the school.
Thompson said the 16-year-old admitted to taking the equipment and gave officers the address where the goods were being stored. The teen also told police about his other three accomplices.
Authorities say all four teens are now in custody.
The teens are facing burglary, criminal damage and trafficking in stolen property charges.
Police said the stolen equipment will be returned to the school Friday.

PdaNet Tablet (new)
June Fabrics Tech
- March 4, 2012
( 2,165)
*This software will no longer work if you have updated the tablet to Android 4.4/KitKat. This is due to a severe bug introduced in the Android system, that if no wifi or cell data is detected, Android will refuse connection attempts even though Internet does exist through PdaNet. The only way around this is to connect your tablet to any WiFi hotspot at the same time, even ones that can't give you Internet access. Google will fix this on their end but we do not know when that will happen.
This software allows you to get FULL Internet on an Android tablet if you have an Android phone.
Simply install this program on your Android tablet then select "Configure" to pair with your phone. Follow the instruction if it asks you to install FoxFi or PdaNet on your phone side.
Depending on which phone and tablet you have, you can connect using either WiFi or Bluetooth.
This is completely rewritten and supports Full Internet access with zero delay.
No root needed for Asus Transformer TF700T Linked my HTC I2 to my Asus Transformer with BT link and no root and no added file. Working!! HTC has block on wifi hot spot so only works in BT. Screw u Verizon. I'll share the data for free as I please between my devices for free!!!
Virgin mobile fail I have an HTC EVO and that device works fine tethered to a computer but when using it with this tablet app it failed completely... well I shouldn't say it failed completely it works for the first few minutes and then completely fails. I like PDA net but this one definitely is one you should wait until it has worked out all the bugs
Kit kat prob My tablet was working fine with the program ,since they updated the software wich it sucks a lot now cuz i paid for pda net cuz it was awesome and now i cant use it it was the same to throw away the money in the trash =/
No go with TF300T and JellyBean Soooo bummed. Phone is an HTC Incredible running Gingerbread. Tablet is Asus Transformer 300 running JellyBean. Phone pairs just fine but when I open PDAnet and select my phone I get an error message: Fail to connect Bluetooth Server(err=23)(java.io.IOException:Unable to Start Service Discovery) Can anyone help or will I be forced to root the old Incredible?
Stupid. App connects me only to wifi I already have configured. I can connect already with out this application, so its worthless. Does not pick up devices FoxFi broadcast, so connecting to device data is a fail though this app and other devices will not connect to my devices FoxFi. Even though its discoverable and obtains IP address, fails to provide strong connection even with signal showing as strong. Kyocera Hydro 4.0.4 (rooted)
Droid2/Toshiba Thrive Since downloaded I am able to use my thrive with this and foxfi. Also my boyfriend can get on my signal as well he has an iPhone 4s also his Sony tablet. Will be back for an update on our other wireless devices. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. YOU just lowered our bill.
What's New
Starting from version 2.2, if you have Android phone please install FoxFi on the phone side to connect either WiFi or Bluetooth.
Finding and connecting securely to XFINITY WiFi hotspots has never been easier.

THIS WEEK: The Washington baseball team (25-26 overall, 7-14 Pac-10) closes out the regular season this week with five home games. Tuesday and Wednesday, the Huskies take on Gonzaga (27-23) in a pair of non-conference games, both beginning at 6:30 p.m. and both on KKOL AM-1300 radio. Friday through Sunday, the Dawgs play host to No. 18 USC (35-18, 13-8), which is making its first trip to Seattle since March 8, 1971, when the Trojans swept a doubleheader from the Huskies. Here's a look at this week's games, the last five of the 2000 season, with probable starting Husky pitchers:
Tue., May 16, 6:30 p.m. -- Gonzaga at UW, -- RHP Matt Massingale (6-6, 6.15)
Wed., May 17, 6:30 p.m. -- Gonzaga at UW -- LHP Zack Daniels (4-1, 6.75)
Fri., May 19, 6:30 p.m. -- # 18 USC at UW -- LHP Matt Gardner (3-3, 6.28)
Sat., May 20, 1:00 p.m. -- # 18 USC at UW -- LHP Taylor Grant (2-5, 7.91)
Sun., May 21, 1:00 p.m. -- # 18 USC at UW -- RHP Matt Massingale (6-6, 6.15)
SERIES HISTORY: Washington is 55-43 all-time against Gonzaga, including a split of four games earlier this season. The Huskies won games one and three of a four-game series at Husky Ballpark Feb. 25-27. Ed Erickson went 7-for-17 (.412) with seven RBI over those four games and Jeff Carlsen and Matt Massingale picked up the UW wins. Ken Knutson is 24-14 against the Zags. USC holds a commanding 18-2 record in the series, though the teams have played only six games since 1971. In 1996, the Huskies beat USC in the first game of the Pac-10 Championship Series in L.A., the Dawgs' first-ever win over the Trojans, but USC came back to win games two and three for the title. Last season at Dedeaux Field, USC took two of three. The Trojans won game one (13-6), lost game two (8-7) and won game three (17-6). Knutson is 2-4 against USC.
COACH "K": In seven-plus seasons as the head coach of his alma mater, Ken Knutson has led the Dawgs to two Pac-10 championships, four Pac-10 Northern Division titles, two second-place finishes and three NCAA Regionals. His career overall record stands at 284-181 (.611). With those 284 wins, he is the second-winningest coach in UW history, trailing only Bob MacDonald (422). Before becoming the Husky head man in 1993, Knutson served as the Husky pitching coach for eight seasons. In 1985, his UW pitching staff led the nation with a 2.80 ERA. Knutson holds a 138-47 (.746) record in home games. He is 130-77 (.628) in conference games, the highest mark (percentage-wise) of any active Pac-10 coach. A 1981 All-Pac-10 left-handed pitcher at the UW, he is joined by assistant coaches Joe Ross, Ed Gustafson, and Joe Weis.
PLAYER NOTES: Here's a look at the possible starters at each position, with current stats and notes:

Under coach Ken Knutson, the Huskies have posted a remarkable 138-47 record in home games, good for a .746 mark. In 1998, the Huskies moved into Husky Ballpark and have notched a 59-26 (.694) record so far. In two seasons, the Huskies have averaged 30 home games a year after usually having played 15 to 20 each season at old Graves Field. This season, the Dawgs are scheduled to play 30 home games.
THE POWER HOUSE: History will eventually be the judge of whether the new Husky Ballpark favors the hitters or the pitchers. So far, however, it definitely has been advantageous to the offense. Through 85 games at Husky Ballpark, the Huskies have belted 141 home runs, an average of 1.7 per game, while visitors have hit 104 home runs, or 1.2 per game. In 85 games, a total of 1,198 runs have been scored (both teams combined), an average of 14.1 per game.

Richard the Lionheart defeated Saladin's Islamic army at Acre. The Christians laid siege to the city for two years before the English king arrived to assume command. His presence led to victory and the first Islamic position on the way to Jerusalem fell. The Crusaders marched toward Jaffa to secure their next target on the road to the Holy City. Saladin decided to strike the Crusaders when he had a chance at victory. However, Richard the Lionheart once again defeated the Muslim warlord. The decisive Christian victory at Arsuf secured Jaffa, but did not destroy Saladin.
Acre fell to the Christians in 1191. After the battle, the Crusaders marched toward Jaffa to secure the port. King Richard knew he had to keep his army provisioned to avoid the mistakes at Hattin. In 1187, a Christian army blundered through the desert, ran out of water, and became an easy target for Saladin. Richard marched along the coast so ships could provision his army. All Saladin could do was launch raids to harass the Christians and probe for weakness. He knew he had to strike the Christians because his hit-and-run strategy did not work.
Saladin decided to strike Richard in the "Wood of Arsuf", which was one of the few forest regions in Palestine. The general chose to hide his army in the wooded area and launch as surprise attack. He waited for the Europeans to march half way through the woods before attacking. Saladin hoped to split the enemy army in half by cutting the supply train off from the front and center of the column. Then, he planned to cut the Crusaders to pieces with his reserves.
Richard awoke on the morning of September 7, 1191 to see enemy units surrounding his camp. He quickly deduced Saladin's location and warned the units most likely to face attack. The Knights Templar guarded the front of the army while the Hospitallers watched the supply train. Saladin waited for the Crusader army to move before sending his army to overwhelm the enemy. The Hospitallers faced the brunt of the assault and fell back under its weight. Richard planned to counterattack, but had to wait for the right moment for maximum effect. Meanwhile, Crusader horses fell in alarming numbers, which could throw the advantage to Saladin.
The Muslims managed to break the Hospitallers, but Richard refused to launch his counterstroke. The Hospitallers decided not to wait and charged. The Crusader army took heart and followed the knights' example. Richard recognized he could not stop the charge and this was the moment to win the battle. The knights needed support or they would be cut down and the entire Crusader army exposed. The Muslim army broke at the onslaught, but Richard halted the Crusaders lest they overextend and open themselves up to a counterattack. The English king was aware that the Turks and others feign retreat to lure an army to its doom. So, the king reorganized his units, rallied his troops, and led another charge. The Muslims broke a second time, Richard regrouped, and then charged a third time. Saladin's forces retreated a final time and dispersed into the woods.
Richard the Lionheart decisively defeated Saladin's Islamic forces. However, Saladin's army survived to fight again. The Crusaders might have had a chance to destroy Saladin completely under the right conditions. Despite this, Saladin's aura of invincibility evaporated, Richard's reputation peaked, and the road to Jerusalem opened. Jaffa fell to the Crusaders, which cut the Muslims off from the coast. The Third Crusade now entered its critical stage with the Crusaders riding the momentum of their twin victories at Acre and Arsuf.

Are Germans really opposed to bailouts?
Chancellor Angela Merkel's refusal to dig deep to help indebted eurozone countries is commonly explained by two feelings attributed to German voters – an ingrained fear of inflation and a reluctance to bail out those in trouble. But polling suggests the picture is more complex.
European Unity on the Rocks
In Europe, there is a crisis of confidence in the economy, in the future, in the benefits of European economic integration, in EU membership, in the euro and in the free market system. The crisis has also exposed sharp differences between some Europeans, especially the Germans and Greeks.
Chapter 1. National Conditions and Economic Ratings
The persistence and depth of the European economic downturn triggered by the euro crisis has had a profoundly adverse impact on most Europeans' attitudes toward the condition of their national economies. People are almost universally dissatisfied with the state of their nations. Only the Germans are satisfied with the direction of their country and the […]
Chapter 2. Views of European Unity
The euro crisis has led Europeans to become very judgmental about elements of the European project: economic integration, membership in the European Union, the EU as an institution, the European Central Bank and use of the euro as their currency. But, as yet, euro zone publics want to keep the euro. As economic conditions have […]
Chapter 4. Views of EU Countries and Leaders
The euro crisis has hit the southern European nations surveyed (Greece, Italy and Spain) much harder than the northern (Britain, France and Germany) or eastern countries, (Poland and the Czech Republic). But it is Greece's reputation, more than that of Italy and Spain, that has suffered the most in the eyes of the public. German […]

Exercise has shown little success in mitigating bone loss from long-duration spaceflight. The first crews of the International Space Station (ISS) used the "interim resistive exercise device" (iRED), which allowed loads of up to 297 lbf (or 1337 N) but provided little protection of bone or no greater protection than aerobic exercise. In 2008, the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED), which allowed absolute loads of up to 600 lbf (1675 N), was launched to the ISS. We report dietary intake, bone densitometry, and biochemical markers in 13 crewmembers on ISS missions from 2006 to 2009. Of these 13, 8 had access to the iRED and 5 had access to the ARED. In both groups, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase tended to increase during flight toward the end of the mission (p = 0.06) and increased 30 days after landing (p < 0.001). Most markers of bone resorption were also increased in both groups during flight and 30 days after landing (p < 0.05). Bone densitometry revealed significant interactions (time and exercise device) for pelvis bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (p < 0.01), hip femoral neck BMD (p < 0.05), trochanter BMD (p < 0.05), and total hip BMD (p < 0.05). These variables were unchanged from preflight only for ARED crewmembers, who also returned from flight with higher percent lean mass and lower percent fat mass. Body mass was unchanged after flight in both groups. All crewmembers had nominal vitamin D status (75 ± 17 nmol/L) before and during flight. These data document that resistance exercise, coupled with adequate energy intake (shown by maintenance of body mass determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [DXA]) and vitamin D, can maintain bone in most regions during 4- to 6-month missions in microgravity. This is the first evidence that improving nutrition and resistance exercise during spaceflight can attenuate the expected BMD deficits previously observed after prolonged missions. © 2012 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Couples Counseling at Kaiser
|Related Pages
My long term boyfriend and I are looking for a couples counselor to help us work through several long-standing issues, including jealousy on his part and communication issues in general for both of us. We both have Kaiser, and have very little disposable income, so either need to work in the Kaiser system - is it possible to get private couples counseling with Kaiser? - or with someone who will work on a sliding scale and charge us as little as possible. I looked the archives but everything I can find is several years old. We live in Oakland near Piedmont Ave but are willing to travel for the right person. Thanks. anon
My husband and I need couple's therapy at Kaiser, but I can't figure out how to go about getting it. We are way beyond the couple's communication class they offer and we need some individual attention. Can anyone who has done this lay out the basics for me? anonymous
From my experience in looking for ongoing counseling for a chronic psychiatric disorder as a Kaiser member, I have learned that each Kaiser facility has its own policies regarding counseling/therapy and that it varies substantially from one facility to another.
I tried to find individual and ongoing counseling at Oakland, and they told me that a group was my only option. I tried San Francisco (the Geary St. campus), and now have a counselor I see every few weeks for as long as I want to. With that much spacing between visits it doesn't count as real ''therapy'' and it would be nice if it was more frequent, but my LCSW counselor is very good and it at least gives me some stimulation, support and a place where I can speak openly.
I don't know what they offer in terms of couples' counseling at SF, but I'd check it out and also check out all other Kaiser facilities in the area- it's surprising how different their policies and protocols are regarding many things. It's worth it to me to spend some traveling time to get the doctor or service I need, and in this case, I'm saving somewhere in the neighborhood of $125. per session. Anon
does anyone know of a good couples counselor with kaiser? if this person is female, African-American, or familiar with the trials of inter-racial couples - any of those things would be a bonus but the only real requirement is that they are with kaiser and you can recommend them. thanks anon
Re: Couples Communication Workshop
My husband and I did the Couples Communication Workshop at Kaiser Oakland. I'm pretty sure it is open to non-Kaiser members for an additional fee. It was about 6 weeks on a weekday evening and was helpful. There was homework, but like everything, the more we put into it, the more we got out of it. One thing it really got me to do was shut up and listen and when I don't interrupt I hear things I wouldn't have otherwise (duh, I know, but this was revelation). Good luck. Been there
My husband & I are interested in marriage therapy and are members of Kaiser Oakland. If any one has seen someone in particular that you would highly recommend- we would appreciate it. Our concerns do include some sexual issues (lack of!) and are really just hoping to feel ''reconnected''...now that our daughter is almost a year old. Thank you!! anxious for more action
Our recent move from the midwest to the East Bay has brought out the worst in several members of our family. Any recommendations for family and or couples counselors at any of the East Bay area Kaisers? Thank you. Muddled from Move

I know this question has been asked million times already, but I'm still confused about using older FL Studio versions.
So, I found out that image-line staff is not going to give me registration codes for older FL versions.
Is it illegal or do I get into trouble if I use, for example. FL 7 registry key from a pirated version, while still keeping FL 9, 10 and web username and password and other keys from my own license in the registry.

News From Sun Campus Ambassadors Worldwide
By GD on Sep 17, 2008
Sun campus ambassadors have been busy organizing open-source events as part of this year's Software Freedom Day, to be held in many cities on or about September 20. Take a look at the locations where you can join Sun communities in celebrating the open-source movement with talks, meet-ups, and installfests. Follow along as campus ambassadors describe the preparations and success stories on their blogs.
As always, campus ambassadors are busy working with technologies and sharing what they learn. Here are a few recent blog postings:
Silveira Neto, campus ambassador at Federal University of Ceará in Brazil, has posted a tutorial on running GlassFish on Linux and another on creating a comic balloon in JavaFX technology.
Wei-Peng Zhong of Shantou University in China wrote about his first technical talk about the Campus Ambassador program, Java technology, the NetBeans IDE, and the Solaris Operating System.
Jay Mahadeokar of Shri Ramdeobaba Kamla Nehru Engineering College (SRKNEC), Nagpur, India, has been busy since July organizing events on the SRKNEC campus with his colleague Vasusen Patil. Most recently, Jay wrote about the two faces of a campus ambassador: "the very social, active, public speaker type" who talks about technology 24x7 and the "geeky kind of a guy who learns and learns" about technology. Take a look.
Avinash Joshi of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kollam, Kerala, India, has provided tips on installing Ubuntu/Linux and Solaris as a dual-boot system and on using GParted to partition your hard disk.
Tirthankar of Pune University, Bangalore, India, writes about his activities with the Student Technology Camp at IEC and the OpenSolaris Open High Availability Cluster (OHAC).
Vasudha Amrit of Manipal Institute of Technology in Manipal, India, hosted a recent talk on Project Glassfish by Sudhir Prabhu, an alumnus of her school. Much to her surprise, nearly 500 people showed up. Read more.

Spring INDOOR TRAINING
STARTS Jan. 21st
Contact us!
Coach Adrian: 785.409.7637 or
Team President Matt: 785.231.4896 or
You could not pick a better time to sign up
and start training. We are starting indoor spring training, so you have not missed
much. We are very excited for the upcoming season as we have gained a new very
experienced head coach. Adrian Horne has an amazing resume taking many teams to
the next level, including national championships. He is from England but
currently resides here in Topeka. It is really great to have a knowledgeable
voice that makes practice a learning environment while keeping things fun.
We are currently hosting practices at Whitson School on Mondays 6pm, and at Topeka Sports Factory, 7:35pm on Thursdays. Regular tennis shoes and maybe a mouth guard is everything
else you need. Indoor training will have minimal contact.
As for size
do not worry, the best part of rugby is that there is
positions that requires different body sizes. From short to tall, large to
skinny, fast to slow, young to old, the game has a place for everyone. We have
had guys as young as 16 join the team and players that are over 50 still
running with us! The game really adjusts to every person out there. Feel free
to call/text with any questions.
to see you out, at the pitch.
Matt Crawford
Topeka Rugby
Topeka Rugby would like to officially announce the 2015 new head coach: Adrian H. Who began training with us on Tuesdays and some Thursdays this past fall season. He is from Britain and has a track history of winning (taking the 1994, 1996 TRFC teams to Nationals). While working with us unofficially he made practices really fun and grew the game amongst new and veteran players alike. Adrian currently works/resides in Topeka and is a Chief Pilot for LifeStar.
Even if you don't plan on playing on Saturdays we need to show our new coach that we are committed and have bodies willing to learn. Plus who doesn't like a free work out. Off season training will begin on January 6th 2015 (indoor location to be determined).

Celebrity homes news! Actress Lindsay Lohan is crying poor. Her 2012 financial situation is so dire since the IRS froze her bank accounts that despite taking a $100k loan from actor Charlie Sheen she's at risk of becoming homeless in the early months of 2013. "According to our sources," said TMZ in a real estate report posted on Dec. 9, "Lindsay has been scraping together the money to pay her $8,000 rent [in the posh neighborhood Beverly Hills]." Will she be able to hold out long enough to stay in her place until the end of her big fat lease?
"We're told Lindsay signed the lease on [her home there] back in February [of 2012] ... when her career was on the upswing and the money seemed to be rolling in..." claimed the celebrity gossip source. Lilo, at that time, was banking that her role in the television movie "Liz & Dick" would help her make an acting comeback.
After the made-for-TV movie was widely panned by the critics, Lilo started to have a meltdown -- both personally and financially. "Lindsay tried to get out of the lease and move out early, but we're told the owners of the home told LiLo the penalty for breaking the lease was MASSIVE..." said TMZ.
Not wanting to put herself even deeper in debt, the Disney Princess has been doing everything she can to stay in her celebrity home in California. She's even resorted to having her sister Ali sell her expensive designer wardrobe piece by piece to resale shops all over the posh community.
The rumor mill reports seem to indicate that Lindsay is just trying to ride out the lease on the Beverly Hills home until it lapses in February of 2013. After that, not one is quite sure what the starlet will do. "LiLo is telling friends she'll then look for a place in New York..." said TMZ -- but with several court cases looming in both NYC and Los Angeles the state she eventually decides to reside in next might be decided by a judge in either of the respective counties [where she has pending felony and misdemeanor charges to face].

AmericanWinery.com launches '2.0-ish' direct-to-consumer marketplace
The folks at AmericanWinery.com, a wine marketing company, got in touch this afternoon to let us know about the launch of their Consumer Direct Marketplace (or CDM for short…ah, another acronym!)
The marketplace, which is open to any U.S.-based winery, promises there is "no setup fee", "no monthly fees", "no hidden costs", and "no transaction costs" (sounds a bit like a credit card offer, doesn't it?) After a winery signs up and creates its profile page (where it is free to add tasting notes, photos, upcoming events, etc.), the process seems relatively simple:
- A consumer orders wine from AmericanWinery.com
- AW processes payment through a secure payment gateway
- Wineries pack and ship the order to the consumer
- AW sends each winery a monthly check for 90% of their sales
The one caveat is that shipping compliance remains the responsibility of the winery to deal with. Of all the states with wineries listed on the site, California is (not surprisingly) the most well represented with 268. Washington state is a distant second with 101 wineries, followed by Oregon with 49. We ran a quick search on the site to see which Napa Valley wineries are currently leveraging the marketplace…here's the list:
Andretti Winery
Archery Summit
Arns Winery
Atalon Winery
Barlow Vineyards
Baxter Winery
Bennett Lane Winery
Black Cat Vineyards
Bouchaine Vineyards
Branham Estate Wines
Buehler Vineyards
Burgess Cellars
Cakebread Cellars
Casa Nuestra Winery and Vineyards
Ceja Vineyards
Corison Winery
Crane Family Vineyards
D'Argenzio Wines
Dyer Vineyards
Eagle Eye
Folio Winemakers' Studio
Grgich Hills Estate
Hagen Heights
Hall Rutherford
Hendry Ranch Winery
Honig Vineyard and Winery
Jessup Cellars
Kasuari Wine
O'Brien Cellars
Pacific Ridge
Romeo Vineyards & Cellars
Rabbit Ridge Winery & Vineyards
Sawyer Cellars
Schramsberg Vineyards
Spring Mountain Vineyard
St. Supéry Vineyards and Winery
For the smaller wineries out there the new marketplace appears (at least on the surface) to be a solid distribution option. Read all about the launch via the press release.

Ciyagi looked up with a gaze similar to a derranged animal's. He breathed inward sharply, the sound of it like a hiss.
He stalked around the hold until he caught sight of Grace.
"Ciyagi, are you alright?"
Grace called out to him.
His eyes dilated large, then small, inward, outward, as he he approached silently. He hissed in her ear as he got up near her, speaking incoherently, "Ciyagi is...fine, he is good, what is it you want?"
He asked her, though his eyes studied her, they moved rapidly in all directions as they did study her in jerky movements. His tail flicked back and forth as he stalked around her, like he was sizing her up. His fists clenched, then opened, clenched, opened, and they kept doing this as he went around.
"But in you...I see the potential to see the Force die, to turn away from its will..."
"You are beautiful to me, exile. A dead spot in the Force, an emptiness in which its will might be denied."
"But no Jedi ever made the choice you did. To sever ties so completely, so utterly, that it leaves a wound in the Force..."
"I would have killed the galaxy to preserve you...You are more precious than you know..."-now...it's verbatim!-A quote from Darth Traya (Kreia)
