The Grape of Good Hope
To step into the cellars of Klein Constantia is to step into a little corner of wine-making history. It was on this farm in South Africa's Constantia region, perched on a series of undulating hills in the Western Cape, that one of the world's leading wines was produced 200 years ago.
The wine in question was a sweet wine known as Constantia, or Vin de Constance, which in the 18th century was as sought after and admired as Château Lafite or Château Pétrus are today. It is reputed to have been requested by Napoleon Bonaparte upon his exile to the island of St. Helena and was enjoyed by royalty throughout Europe. Jane Austen and Charles Dickens both mentioned it in their writings.

Its downfall came in the form of two fungal diseases that ripped through the vineyards—first oidium, which at the height of its powers, effects grape ripening; followed by phylloxera, a root-feeding aphid that destroys vines. The effect was devastating. By the end of the 19th century, the wine estate was beset with financial ruin and the wine that only years earlier had delighted the European court vanished.
In 1980, the farm was bought by the Jooste family, who busily set about renovating the cellars, winery and accommodation. Six years later, they reintroduced Vin de Constance in a replica 18th-century bottle. The 2004 vintage I tasted in the cellars of Klein Constantia was golden in color, with a syrupy, honeyed texture and a nose that reminded me of dried apricots, spice and ginger. History came full circle in 2008 when it was included in the book "1001 Wines You Must Try Before You Die."
In many ways the story of Vin de Constance mirrors the story of South African wine. A glorious, world-dominating start was preceded by decline, as the principal European markets were subject to competition. Following the phylloxera outbreak in 1918, the Co-operative Wine Growers Association (KWV) was created to help protect the Cape's wine industry by setting minimum prices and limiting production. At the end of apartheid, the industry once again began selling to the world. Much of the early post-apartheid success was made on the back of commercial bottlings of varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Pinotage.
In 2009, the country's wine industry celebrated its 350th anniversary and it is now, more than 15 years since South African wines were reintroduced to the world, that the fine-wine category is really hitting its stride. Having visited the region twice in recent years, it was informative to taste through a comprehensive range of the Cape's wines at the South African High Commission in London's Trafalgar Square. What is clear is that there are so many interesting styles and different grape varieties being grown in the Cape that South Africa's wine industry has firmly moved on from the days when it was principally known for its Pinotage and Chenin Blanc.
The Bordeaux blends immediately impressed. Producers such as Meinert, Waterford, Delaire Graff and Thelema produce Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blends that are refined, balanced with distinctly Old World flavor profiles such as cigar box and cedar. To those I would add Kanonkop's Paul Sauer blend, Rustenburg's John X Merriman, Meerlust's Rubicon, Vergelegen's and Warwick's Cabernet Francs. A number of Pinot Noirs stood out for their deep color and power. Hamilton Russell, Meerlust, Newton Johnson and Bouchard Finlayson are well worth tracking down.
Many of the Sauvignon Blancs I tasted were defined by a spritzy, racing acidity and a predominance of green pepper. Tokara Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2009 had a rich, grassy style, while Steenberg's Sauvignon Blanc 2010 impressed with its freshness. The country's Chardonnay has established a reputation for a toasty, nutty character. I recommend Vergelegen, Delaire Graff and Paul Cluver. The latter produces a Riesling, with attractive notes of green apple and lime reminiscent of a Riesling from Gemany's Mosel, illustrating the difficulty of categorizing South African wines. For while some argue that they are a New World wine-producing country, their history and, in many cases, the style of their wines points to the Old World.

The Monopoly game at McDonald's has returned. The top prize for collecting Boardwalk and Park Place is a cool $1,000,000 in cash. The winner will not collect that money upfront. Instead, he or she will be mailed a check for $50,000 each year for the next 20 years, without interest. This steady payment is known as an annuity. Given my calculation the other day of what it would take to own the entire Monopoly board in real life, I thought it would be useful to explain how this works.
Why would the McDonald's Corporation make the $1,000,000 prize an annuity rather than a lump sum? It comes down to the firm's opportunity cost. McDonald's earns 15.12% on assets and 36.35% on equity. Those are some very high rates of return relative to the average business.
That means that $1,000,000 in net worth at McDonald's is generating an average after-tax return of $363,500 for the owners (the stockholders) each year. It would be stupid for management to give up that kind of profitability. By hanging on to the money as long as possible, McDonald's can keep it invested at high rates of return and offset the cost of the Monopoly game grand prize.
How Much Will the Monopoly $1,000,000 Grand Prize Cost McDonald's Corporation?
We can discount the cash flows of the annuity back to the present to find out how much the prize is really going to cost the restaurant. Our "i" variable would be 36.35%, our "n" variable would be 20, and our "PMT" variable would be $50,000.
The net present value of the McDonald's Monopoly $1,000,000 Grand Prize to the Company: $137,272.74
If McDonald's were to give away $1,000,000 for the Monopoly game today, it would be giving away $1,000,000. That would be the real cost of the transaction. By spreading it out in installments over 20 years and keeping most of the money invested in the high returning McDonald's restaurant business, the cost to stockholders is only $137,272.74.
But wait! There is more. You have to consider this is a marketing expense to the company. Let's give McDonald's an average weighted tax rate of 35% in the United States. That means the restaurant will be able to take a $48,045 tax credit for the expense of the promotion, leaving it with a net bill of roughly $89,228.
The real opportunity cost to McDonald's for the $1 million prize? $89,228
How Much Is the $1,000,000 Monopoly Grand Prize Worth to the Winner?
That doesn't mean this is the present value for the man or woman who wins the Monopoly grand prize! You have to calculate the true intrinsic value to them based upon their personal opportunity cost. Say you won and you know you can earn 8% on your money. Obviously, getting a lump sum up front is more valuable to you because you can put the cash to work and earn 8% interest each year. That means your "i" variable would be 8%, not 36.35%.
The net present value of the McDonald's Monopoly $1,000,000 Grand Prize to you: $490,907.37
But you're going to have to pay taxes. Let's presume your effective combined taxation level amounts to 30% or so of your income once all municipalities are included – Federal, State, etc. You are going to pay $147,272 in taxes, leaving you with only $343,635!
You can see how this is a win / win for the customer and for McDonald's. Management only has to come up with a real $89,228, most people think they are winning a full $1,000,000, which they aren't (they are still getting a very nice $343,635 in after-tax net present value so it is unquestionably awesome to win!).
With logic like this, it isn't difficult to see one of the reasons McDonald's is able to generate such a high return on equity. The finance staff knows what they are doing, which is obvious when you consider their track record at allocating capital is so good, a mere $100,000 invested in McDonald's 25 years ago could be worth as much as $5,547,089 today depending on whether you took Chipotle shares during the reorganization. That is one of the reasons I use them as a case study to explain financial concepts so often. They generate so much wealth it's hard to fathom, and not just for their own stockholders and franchise owners; e.g., the family that has been selling them coffee beans for the past few decades is worth an estimated $114 million. Personally, I'm almost always up for buying more McDonald's shares and locking them in a bank vault for my future children, grandchildren, or charitable causes.

Maybe lunch or brunch somewhere and then a nice ride somewhere in the mountains.
First would be a first ride of course, followed up by a nice place to have lunch and some conversation.
i guess best way to get to know me is asking me out for a coffee and if you are still interested then you can ask me out again. :) i dont play games, i am very honest & upfront.
We can meet for a drink or dinner. Go for a walk or play pool.
Getting together to see if we click to start with, maybe eat and find out what we are looking for.
Just coffee and breakfast on a ride up the coast or in the mountains.
Early morning Ride up the coast. Stop for brunch.
No set plan.
Just ride
My first date idea totally Depends on the person and our circumstances... Sorry, but is all I can say at this time.
coffee or a cocktail just getting to know on another at a leasure pace...anywhere is good as long as it is acceptable to both parties involved
Meet and take a nice ride and talk and get to know more abuot each other
A nice ride on a sunny day and then some chow. I will even let you super-size it. I'm kidding.
Ok, a bit cliche', but coffee & conversation would be nice. If that goes well, a moonlight ride for a bit would be great. Maybe a ride to New Hope.
Ride to Sleepy Hollow on a Sunday or Peggy's Corral for lunch. Even a nice ride for a Sunday breakfast.
How about picking me up on the bike, we go to dinner or drinks so we can get to know each other a little more, then for a bit of a ride and take it from there!
Havein' a cup,an hangin' out for a bit,then if it feels good go do something together an become friends an see where ti goes.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Archie Comics co-CEO Jon Goldwater announced today that beginning in April, Archie comics will be available through Graphicly on the same day that the print editions appear in comics stores. Graphic.ly is a digital comics reader that is available on the iPad, iPhone, on the web, and through Adobe Air (which works on Macs and PCs).
This is the third channel in which readers will be able to buy Archie comics digitally on their release dates; they will be available through the Archie iPad app (powered by iVerse) beginning in April and in comics shops through the Diamond Digital program beginning in July. The new comics will sell for $1.99 in all three channels.
Goldwater said Graphic.ly approached Archie about making a deal shortly after the announcement of the day-and-date releases through the iPad app. "They called us up and said 'We read your announcement and we would like to be part of this,' and we immediately said yes," he said.
"We've been working with Archie since last year, so approaching them wasn't very tricky," said Ron Richards, vice president of external relations for Graphic.ly. "We talk nearly every day with the team at Archie about what they've got coming up and how we can better help sell their comics on Graphic.ly. To be honest, it wasn't a difficult conversation as they're moving in this direction anyhow, so it was one of the easier conversations we've had with a publisher, which I think is a testament to our relationship and the forward thinking team over at Archie."
"Even when they were getting up to speed, they were reaching out to Archie, saying 'We want to be part of what you do,' and here they are putting their money where their mouth is," said Goldwater.
Goldwater said the comics would be the same in all three channels. Although the Diamond Digital comics are supposed to be exclusive to comics shops for 30 days after the release date, Goldwater said, "We are going to have day and date in our app, and if that overlaps with what Diamond is doing, that is the same thing." There will be no additional content for the Diamond Digital editions, he said.
On the other hand, Richards held out the possibility that the Graphic.ly editions might eventually have additional content. "We are working with [Archie] to see if we can develop bonus content for our audience, but currently we're focused on the move to same day digital releases," he said.
From the publisher side, Goldwater said that all the digital publishers are easy to work with, so it's not a big stretch to add another to the mix. "We have one employee here whose only job is getting the necessary material out to the different partners," said Goldwater. "He said it's easy with all of them. It took a minute to figure out how to format his day in terms of dealing with iVerse, comiXology, and Graphic.ly, but they are all efficient and all give us equal quality product. Once they figure out how they want the books delivered and the timelines, it has been very easy to do. It's a real professional environment."
For his part, Richards said that having Archie same-day releases adds "a ton" of value to Graphic.ly. "First, it's a weekly stream of new and fresh comics for our community to enjoy, he said. "But in the grander scheme of things, this is a legacy publisher (everyone knows Archie) who is making a commitment to releasing their comics digitally and in doing so, recognize the value that Graphic.ly brings as a partner. I'm positive that this will be the first in a line of publishers who start to make similar moves in embracing digital."
Bravo to Archie for going their own route with their day-and-date releases. Diamond's digital model feels less like a digital business model and more a model to prop up print publications – Diamond's bread and butter. Users will flock to the simplest methods of getting digital if that is the route they choose to go. Diamond's model is counterintuitive to those purchasing digitally.
The disruption to the current business model is something that is great for consumers, and can be great for publishers and creators as they can now have a direct line to consumers.

Anxiety attacks over having to work
well first you have to change your mentality that your children are going to be raised by someone else. Cause that isn't going to get you anywhere.
YOU raise your children. YOU instill values and morals into your children. Sure, someone else may sing itsy bitsy spider to them for the first time, but YOU make sure they remember it.

I went back to work at 8 weeks PP, it was actaully much smoother than I anticipated. You need to start accepting the terms now or else the anxiety is only going to get worse. GL!
I was actually really happy to get back to work. I enjoy my job and I like having part of the day where I interact with other grownups, wear nice clean clothes, eat and use the bathroom by myself, etc. My daughter is being cared for by someone who loves her (my MIL) but even if she was in a day care, it would be fine too.
Just think about all the positives to your situation. You are going to be able to provide your child with a better quality of life and be an example to him/her. Everyone has to do what works for them and their family and whatever you have to do is going to be fine. The first few days back at work might feel emotional but you are doing the best you can do.
I agree with PP. When your kids go to a babysitter/daycare they are not being "raised" by someone else. They are going to a babysitter or daycare while you go to work to provide for them.
You and your husband raise your kids. Your daycare provider provides care of them while you are at work. And if it is a financial requirement that you work that is something you are going to have to come to terms with.

You are going to have good days and bad days, meaning there will be days you want to stay home and then there will be days you are glad to have an adult day. The first couple of weeks might be hard but with time it does get better, at least in my experience.
If you haven't, check out the working moms board. When I first started back to work it was a life saver over there sometimes. http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a185/working_moms

Video Interview: Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst
Red Hat president and CEO Jim Whitehurst sees opportunities for open source firms that might be putting undue burden on their dwindling IT departments because of the current economic downturn. Whitehurst offered his views in a press conference in Munich. His conclusion: "When people look at alternatives, often Open Source wins."
Jim Whitehurst, who has been head of Red Hat since January 2008, compared the current financial crisis with that of the dot-coms in 2000. The pressure toward austerity was the same back then for Linux and the open source community. It was the first time IT chiefs especially in banking and insurance sensed the need to count costs.
Whitehurst's interview is not without its plug for Red Hat, considered by some the only currently profitable open source developer. The reason for its success may not only be its features, but its business model. Whitehurst explains that Red Hat doesn't just sell open source functionality, "we make money by making the operating system enterprise class." The added value for customers, he says, are the stable Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) releases that create robust APIs and open standard components for the IT of the future.
As for what's coming in 2009, Whitehurst promised further management and migration functions for KVM virtualization, as well as a new version of the Enterprise IPA identity management system for Linux. Additionally, RHEL 6 should be out by the end of 2009.
Mathias Huber from Linux Magazine Online interviewed Red Hat's new CEO, Jim Whitehurst.

Obtaining cheap courier bids is free and simple on Auctigo
Thousands of parcel delivery drivers bid for your job
Quick start here
About courier services...
A courier is a company or a person who delivers mail or packages. Couriers are characterized by features like security, speed, signature and tracking. Being a premium service, they are expensive than ordinary mails and use is restricted to parcels where some features are important to warrant the charge.
They operate from different countries and do global service. DHL, TNT, FedEx, UPS are some largest companies in courier field. Horseback riders and homing pigeons were ancient time couriers. In cities we get our delivery through a two-wheeler courier service but for heavy consignments and long distances trucks, aircraft or railways are carriers.
Some companies have on-board couriers who can travel wherever in the world in a short notice mostly through commercial planes. This service along with the charter courier service are costly affairs. The demand for an alternative courier with all -in-one facility is going on.
Operating through contractors selected after the screen test and checks are latest improvements. In London taxi drivers have established a separate wing for courier delivery. TNT, DHL and UPS like great companies have divisions in the UK. Major dealing of courier service in the UK is managed by local companies only who guarantee a next day delivery in cheaper rates.
Electronic era has brought drastic changes in courier industry also. In last 5 years revenues from documentation got decreased by 50% and customers have grown more demanding. Royal Mail with its higher rate and decreased public demand is no more popular in the UK.
Courier industry played a major role in the US market and was involved in the history of nations like a gold rush and westward migration. Major courier companies in US are DHL, UPS and FedEx and it generates almost $59 billions in a year. Malaysia is having a younger courier industry. In 1979 City-Link Express started first courier service in Malaysia

Investigation of Salient Audio-Features for Pattern-Based Semantic Content Analysis of Radio Productions
The paper focuses on the investigation of salient audio features for pattern-based semantic analysis of radio programmes. Most news and music radio programmes have many structure similarities with respect to the appearance of different content types. Speech and music are continuously interchanged and overlapped, whereas specific speakers and voice patterns are more important to recognize. Recent research showed that various taxonomies and hierarchical classification schemes can be effectively deployed in combination with supervised and unsupervised training for semantic audio content analysis. Undoubtedly, audio feature extraction and selection is very important for the success of the finally trained expert system. The current paper employs feature ranking algorithms, investigating audio features saliency in various classification taxonomies of radio production content.

Situated on 70 acres, which are accessible by mowed walking trails in summer and groomed ski trails in winter, this home can sleep up to eight people and their well behaved pooches (pre-approval required for pets). A lovely renovated ranch style home with a walk out finished lower level, this home is perfect for a family get together. There is a master bedroom with attached full bath plus two additional bedrooms on the main level.
On the lower level there is bedroom and a full bath. Satellite television and full laundry are also included.
This property gives you the best of both vacation options - a lovely country getaway surrounded by lots of recreational and cultural options throughout the year. Enjoy Boyne City's many festivals and great shops and restaurants. Located within a few miles of some of the best golf courses in the United States, the best lake east of the Mississippi (according to a USA Today poll) and a whole host of other great features to explore in beautiful Northwest Michigan.
Bruce and Jodie Janssen have lived in Boyne City for forty years and are the proprietors of The Wood Shop, an award winning sign company. Active in the city's Main Street Program and various other civic endeavors they have taken a great interest in their adopted hometown and want those who visit to enjoy it as much as they have over the years.
Bruce Janssen purchased this house in 1986
In 1986, Bruce's parents purchased this lovely home as a summer home. Both parents have passed on and the home is now being used as a family retreat when it is not being rented and shared with others.
This is a lovely, solidly built home which was renovated in 2011. Ranch style with a hint of Mission styling, the home has a mix of hardwood, tiled and carpeted floors throughout. The kitchen is perfect for entertaining with its open floor plan and includes all cooking utensils, large refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher. A large screen television in the spacious living room can be used to watch movies while lounging in the great recliner sectional sofa or you can watch your favorite cable and network shows via the DirectTV satellite. Downstairs is roomy enough for games or just hanging out. The house is quite cozy with water baseboard heat throughout and air conditioned for those occasional too warm summer days. You can start your day with a cup of coffee watching the sun come up in the east over the valley or end the day with a drink while sitting on the deck. Any way you choose, this house has a great ambience and you won't regret spending your vacation here.
Wonderful house and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. Loved the deck! House was very clean. I highly recommend the house :)
We had a family reunion at Walloon Lake and needed some extra space for part of the family. I contacted Bruce about his home and it could not have been more perfect. Lovely home, well laid out for our 8 guests. Bruce and his wife were easy to work with and responded to every call and question immediately. I would definitely recommend their home to anyone who needs a place to stay in the area. It was also the only property in the area I could find that did not require a minimum one week stay.
Our family (2 adults and 2 children) and another family (2 adults and 2 children) rented Janssen North for a winter weekend. We loved it. It was close to Boyne Mountain for skiing. It was close to Boyne City for dinner and evening fun. It was close to Avalanche Bay to end the perfect weekend, and in between it was perfect for nature hiking and sledding. The home was clean, comfortable, and spacious. It was well appointed and had everything we needed. We will be back. Thank you for the memories.
The property was perfect and in an excellent location. On the one rainy afternoon we were able to sit comfortably inside and watch the wildlife, while on the nice days visit the beaches and towns that northern Michigan is famous for. The hosts made everything flawless and enjoyable with a turn key home. Thank you Bruce!
This is the third year we have rented Ed's house for our family gathering. It meets our needs perfectly. We could not be happier.
I took 7 college students to this lovely home for a Leadership and Teambuilding Retreat. The students had a great time, we were able to participate in blind folded trust walks, go on nature walks and do leadership development, communication, trust and teambuilding activities. I think some lifelong friendships were made through the whole process. I have taken students to several places in Michigan over the years, but I do think we have found a permanent location to return to year after year. Bruce and Jodie are impeccable hosts and were there for anything we needed. We all had a great time, and cannot wait to return! My students even asked if they all chipped in, if we could go again in the winter. :)
Located only 1.8 miles from downtown Boyne City this home puts you in close proximity to all the wonderful things about Northwest Michigan. Three major lakes:Lake Charlevoix, Walloon Lake and Lake Michigan are minutes away. Ranked as a top destination small town by the National and Michigan Main Street programs, Boyne City is always hopping with a variety of fun activities for the whole family from our famous Friday night 'Stroll the Streets' during the summer months, to awesome dining in any one of our fine restaurants. Additionally, this home is close to the Leelanau wine country, Petoskey's many boutique shops and the infamous M119 drive up the coast of Northwest Michigan. Enjoy all of these great activities then come home to this quiet, secluded setting to enjoy a lovely evening walk on the 70 acres with mowed trials while watching deer and other wildlife you won't find in a city.
For winter enjoyment we have groomed XC-Skiing and snowshoeing trails
out the back door, along with sledding and tobogganing

The 25 Most Beautiful Philly Streets
Okay, so Philly may have a bit of a garbage problem, but let's give credit where it's due here: Trash or no, the place isn't a total dump. Far from it. There are lots of spots in this sprawling city of ours that can make you forget you're in a city at all. And then there are swaths that are downright beautiful because of their total, classic urbanity. Truth is, any Philadelphian worth her salt can offer up one or a few favorite stretches — that charming brick-paved street, that especially stunning tree-lined block, that teeny hidden, historic warren — without much hesitation.

Ed Bacon's First, Last Names Misspelled on Street Sign
In May of 1998, City Council passed a resolution honoring a stretch of Dock Street with a secondary name: Edmund Bacon Way. It was named for the city's former planning commission director — the man famous for Penn Center, Market East, Society Hill and other areas during his 21-year tenure.
"I'm so used to being in this room over there; where that desk is where I came during the 21 years I was director," Bacon said at City Council while accepting the honor. "I beseeched you — as a very humble servant — to, number one, give me money for the planning commission and, number two, to let me do what I wanted."
In seventeen years since naming the stretch of Dock Street between Columbus Boulevard and S. 2nd Street after Edmund Bacon, the city has apparently changed it: While running by this morning, I noticed the street sign now reads "Edmond Beacon Way." Yes, both his first and last names are spelled incorrectly.
The Streets Department didn't return a request for comment. (Anyway, what would they say?) There's no sign in the latest Google StreetView from June 2014, so the sign has been installed some time in the last year.
Should Drivers Be Able to Sue Pa. Over Pothole Damage?
After this past winter, many of Pennsylvania's roads are littered with potholes — and many of Pennsylvania's cars are suffering for it.
"In my area, the pothole situation is simply out of control," says Republican state Rep. John Lawrence, who represents parts of Chester and Lancaster counties. "I have personally reported potholes to PennDOT that have gone unrepaired for weeks on end."
Lawrence is planning to introduce a bill that would allow motorists to sue the state for property damages caused by potholes.

[UPDATE] We heard your suggestions and have published an addendum to the original list: Readers Respond:Here Are 12 More Funny Philadelphia Street Names.

But many of our street names are funny. Very funny, even. Some of them are funny because they sound silly. Others have amusing origins. And still others make absurd images pop into our heads. Read more »
Welcome to Pothole Hell, Philadelphia

Turbulent Weather Creating Pothole Epidemic in Philly
Remember last week, when a "polar vortex" hit Philadelphia, and sent temperatures plunging to 3 degrees? Remember how the vortex went away, and by the weekend temperatures nearly hit 60 degrees? And then remember how it got cold again and started snowing today? Folks: That kind of weather is absolute hell on asphalt.
Which means, yes: Pothole season has begun in Philadelphia.

The sys admin's daily grind: QPS
Process Monitor
The graphical tool QPS frees admins from Kafkaesque ambiguities about the cause, history, and side effects of running processes. Depending on the view, either clarity or detailed information dominate the scene.
Graphical tools are something I use sparingly – with the practical and fast QPS [1] being one exception. The process monitor, programmed in Qt combines the characteristics of top, PS, and lsof in a single package. The main window (Figure 1) shows central system parameters, such as CPU utilization, memory, swap, and uptime. This is followed by the tabular process list, which QPS presents in linear form, or as a tree.
