PHOTOS: Kentucky (Derby) Fried Men Sizzle In Seersucker
Nothing inspires more pastel pants, colorful bow ties, and seersucker (not to mention crazy hats and cigar smoking) than the good ol' Kentucky Derby. Last weekend marked the 140th year of the Louisville horse-racing tradition, and the crowds were bigger than ever.
As we've mentioned before, men riding stallions are way hot. But so are the well-dressed men who watch the men riding stallions.
Scroll down to see photos of preppy men sporting classic Kentucky Derby fashion.

I see some young stallions I would like to ride (and by ride i mean have sex with)
Is it just me or does this look like a Polo by Ralph Lauren advertisement?
@Ogre Magi …..LMAO…stupid bitch!
@Alan down in Florida …Nailed it!
There is nothing like Kentucky Derby week in Louisville.
YES!!!!!!! This is totally my spring/summer dress up style. I particularly like the first picture (except take off that stupid baseball hat), the guy in the yellow pants and navy blue blazer with the green button down and tie, the three guys in the hats, the guy in the pink shirt (although he should've buttoned up one more), and the guys in the off white/cream suits (except the guy on the left should've had his tailored better). Please fellas have a tailor. Nothing worse than a suit that wears the man instead of the man wearing the suit.
The last guy's outfit is sharp on him, but the jacket is not my style. Loving his pants and the fit of the pants. Loving his shoes, but I would've picked a solid colored blazer.
Horse racing is an awful abuseful event. Don't promote anything to do with this garbage. They abuse horses until they can't use them any more then they send to to slaughter in Canada and Mexico the next week. They also use nurse mare. They impregnate a lesser quality horse. Then when her baby is born they take it away and send it to slaughter. They then force her to nurse a higher quality horse's foal. The following link shows some of the baby horses just one rescue currently has. They announced the other day they were full and couldn't take any more until some are adopted. Any babies that other rescues can't take will be killed.
Shit. Wrong link. This is the correct one.
What the hell. How is an old link coming up when I know I have the right one? I copied the same link into another browser. And why can't you delete or edit comments on here? Anyway, go to youtube and search for A Visit to Last Chance Corral Foal Rescue.
Fourth picture down, the guy with the pork pie hat. That was basically my style in high school, but way more thrift store looking.
I got my seersucker suit at Cox… or was it my c*cksucker suit at Sears?

ArtOfficial - Black Birds
Last we heard from ArtOfficial, back in September of 2012, the Florida live-band ensemble had packed their bags for a date with destiny, unsure when they'd return. Five months later, their travels have finally brought them back to our pages, with a fresh single in tow. Released along with moody, animated visuals by RamJam's Tom Jackson, Black Birds showcases a laid-back, jazzy side of the crew's sound. While Logic and Newsense's tightly-wound flows are as appealing as ever, I'd argue that Keith Cooper' sax is the star of the show here. Like what you're hearing? You can find Black Birds and many more quality cuts on ArtOfficial's 2011 Vitamins & Minerals LP, still available for streaming and purchase right here in the Booth.

Senator sees compromise as unlikely
October 1, 2013
As the threat of a federal government shutdown loomed Monday, U.S. Sen....
It's not a dictated insurance, its a mandated enrollment of insurance. If you have insurance already, you are ok. If you don't, you must find one, through the exchange or an employer sponsored, or elect to pay the fine (court ruled it could be seen as a tax which is how it becomes legal to fine someone in this situation).
The next argument people have is that the ACA makes healthcare premiums for everyone go up. They were going up before the ACA, and the services covered were either being reduced or had higher and higher deductible.
It's all off-topic anyway, the issue is an up and down vote on the budget would have been approved on time. The amendments to defund or dismantle the ACA are the road blocks.

My point in my comment is that our house and senate are elected to represent the people who voted them in and if the reason the republicans are against obamacare is because the people they represent don't support a government dictated insurance either and as long as they want the job they have they'd better vote the way the people want.

"The ACA is the law of the land. If it now becomes subject to amendment/delay/repeal, without the consent of both houses of Congress, then that could happen to any other duly enacted law. That would be a terrible way to govern."
Obama and his cronies have made so many UNNILATERAL changes to the law, i.e., waivers, exemptions, etc., it is no longer the law as passed by the Dumbocrats.
The president is not empowered to make UNILATERAL changes to ANY law passed by the Congress. And because of the many changes he has made, it can no longer be considered the law of the land.
"If it now becomes subject to amendment/delay/repeal, without the consent of both houses of Congress," Apparently, in the mind of a liberal, that doesn't include Dumbama when it comes to changes!!!!!

Yes, terrible. A better way is to pass huge, far-reaching tomes without reading them first. Then tell the minions that they'll know what's in the bill when it's passed. Then have the President unilaterally choose which parts to implement or ignore.
Also, aren't immigration laws, drug laws, and recess appointment Constitutional clauses the "law of the land" too?
Terrible? You voted for it. Twice.

The very reason they are even debating a CR is because there is no budget in place. For four years, Congress has been CR-ing the 2009 budget. In 2011 and 2012, the GOP House sent budgets to the Dem Senate, where they were not brought to the floor for a vote or amendments. Hence, CR's.
The House has sent dozens of bills to the Senate regarding Obamacare. All were ignored.
Now, the lack of a budget and the failure to revisit Obamacare have come together to finally add some consequences to the tactics used by the obstructionist Democrat Senate.

As far as I knew, the President submits a proposal, and it is then scored between OMB and CBO over the next few months, then to the Legislative branch for it's butchering, then for signature or continuing resolution by 1 Oct. You make it sound like the President has to have it to Kinko's by 5pm or a warrant is issued.
Please do reference somewhere that I can read up on how many times The President, or "Obama" as you call him, has not done this.

Too bad everyone gets blinded by the GOP attempt to road block Affordable Care Act now by hijacking the budget with it. The budget negotiations are being held up by GOP holding a Gun to the budget process, disrupting almost a million jobs and soon to be another body blow to the globaly economy as a consequence. I get it, GOP not a fan of the new healthcare way of thinking the President managed to accomplish. Get a GOP President and GOP Senate to go along with your GOP House and you can have whatever you want. Until then, fix the budget and move on.

Capricorn1. That is certainly true. And I wouldn't raise the objections I did if the ACA was amended/repealed by both the Senate and House and then signed by the President. That may take another election or two to happen. I just think the current tactic used to get amendments etc. will only make it more difficult to govern regardless of who is leading the country if it becomes standard operating procedure.

David, I would have to disagree. Throughout history laws have amended and repealed countless times. Look at the RealID Act of 2005. That is the law of the land passed by Congress and STILL never implemented because it's very unpopular.

I see three things coming out here No 1: With Nancy Pelosi's comment just before the Afford Care Act was passed, "We have to pass it to see what's in it" mentality, now that we've seen what's in it, the Republicans are honestly trying to keep from damaging this country with horse hockey freebee legislation. No 2: The Democrats are just as big a part of this Mexican standoff as the Republicans, if not more so, but they are pointing fingers like they're trying to consolidate their power. No 3: Do I get my taxes lowered at the end of the year because I'm not getting a full Federal Government for my tax money being it's shut down?

More and more states are jumping on the affordable health care act. That is except those pesky republican controlled red states, the ones with the most people without health care.

i dont know much about obamacare, however i do know that as of jan 2014 insurance companies were no longer allowed to be jerks about who they insure. ok, so i take wellbutrin to keep my head leveled. as of six months ago insurance companies said i had a preexisting condition and wouldnt insure me. oh wow, ok so i take a pill to keep a smile on my face and now i have such a horrible preexisting condition.... yeah, i think its cool that under obama care insurance companies couldnt be jerks about who they insured. seriously, wellbutrin?? ok.. otherwise ive heard nothing more good about obamacare

Carl, I agree. The administration, democrats and much of news media is sensationalizing this whole evolution. Government has shut down either partially or fully 11 times since 1980 over budget negotiations. It happened twice under the Clinton Administration. Like sequestration, they try and make it appear like the world is going to end and people are going to die as a result.

Too paraphrase....
[ How many people would allow their mechanic to charge them $500 to do some things to their car, but the mechanic is not sure if it is going to work until you have driven away. ]
Many people do just that.... Why..? Because, like health-care auto repair is complicated and compromised by low quality replacement parts. And there is nothing the Mechanic can do about it.
If one can't buy a Quality part they can't perform a Quality repair.... so yea, they do the best they can with what they have to work with and hopefully they are honest with their customer and explain the reason they can't be sure if it's going to work, or for how long..

• An outbreak of mumps in a middle school (grades 6 through 8) in Ohio during 1981 was investigated to determine the effectiveness of mumps vaccine. Of the 481 middle school students on whom questionnaires were completed, 62 (12.4%) exhibited clinical mumps. The overall vaccine efficacy was 81.2% when children with a history of mumps disease are excluded from the analysis. Using a logistic regression model with the presence or absence of clinical mumps as the dependent variable, three factors were found to be significant: mumps vaccine, a history of mumps disease, and sex. Factors that did not significantly affect the rate of disease among vaccinated pupils included (1) whether the mumps vaccine was administered singly or in combination with rubella and/or measles vaccine, (2) age at vaccination, (3) year of vaccination, and (4) month of vaccination.

The Central Criminal Court has heard there is six months of CCTV footage in the case of murder accused Graham Dwyer.
Mr Dwyer, a Dublin architect, is charged with murdering childcare worker Elaine O'Hara, 37, in Co Dublin on 22 August 2012.
Ronan Kennedy BL, defending, made an application today for a second junior counsel to be assigned to the case.
The court was told that the defence had one senior and one junior counsel assigned to the case.
Mr Dwyer, of Kerrymount Close in Foxrock, was present in court for the hearing.
The 41-year-old is in custody awaiting trial, which is scheduled to begin on 19 January next year and is expected to last six weeks.
Mr Kennedy informed Mr Justice Paul Carney that there were 540 witness statements and 408 witnesses in the case.
The barrister said the book of evidence comprises seven volumes.
He told the court there were 925 exhibits and five terabytes of data in computer evidence.
Mr Justice Carney said he would make the order for a second junior counsel for the defence.
"There is a very significant amount of work to be done which justifies another junior," said the judge.

It was Independence Day in Frankford yesterday, with speeches, cheers and a declaration by the YWCA branch there that it would fight for freedom.
"Since 1942, these doors have never closed. Never," branch director Marian Wolfe said.
Wolfe and the other five administrators at her Y have been working without salaries for nearly a month, keeping programs going as the YWCA of Philadelphia, long financially troubled, founders.
About three and a half weeks ago, the Y's largest branch, at 2840 Holme Ave. in Pennypack Park, was closed. It's up for sale. That leaves two working branches - Frankford and Southwest-Belmont. The North Central branch closed two years ago. The North Central building, at 1517 W. Girard Ave., is also on the sale block.

Ardito Desio was born in Palmanova (Udine) the 18th April 1897
and he dies in Rome in 2001 to the age of 104 years.
In 1915 volunteer as cyclist in the Italian army, participating
to the first evente of the first year of war. Simultaneously he
enter the faculty of Natural Sciences of Florence, where he graduates
in 1920 with the utmost of the vows in july 27th;
In 1920 it takes service at the Institute of Geology of
Florence and in that year carries out its first expedition, on invitation
of Carlo De Stefani, to the islands of the Dodecanneso, then under
the Italian dominion. In 1925 he become Registrar in the geological
Station of the Civic Museum of Natural History and, simultaneously,
assistant to the Politecnicos chair of Geology. Therefore
Ardito Desio decides to go definitively to Milan.
In 1925, on assignment of the Italian Geographic Society,
it carries out its first journey in Africa to Giarabud, oasis of
the Libyan desert recently gained from the Italian troops. In 1929
the town of Milan funds an expedition to the Karakorum, promoted
from the Italian Geographic Society and from the CAI of Milan. The
purpose is try again the climb of the K2, on footprints of a previous
Italian shipping guided from Luigi Amedeo of Savoia, Duke of the
Abruzzi, in 1909, and to finish a scientific series of relief. Because
of the controversial risen after the dramatic episode of the shipping
of Umberto Nobile to the North Pole with the dirigible Italia, the
program of the expedition to the Karakorum is subsequently reduced.
The K2 remains from then on in the dreams and in the programs of
In 1931, on invitation of the Italian Geographic Society,
Desio goes again to the Libyan Sahara, to study the geographic and
human aspects of the north-eastern Ribesti. This one is the first
one of seven missions sent off to Africa in the Fezzan and to the
oasis of Ghat, promoted from the Italian Geographic Society between
1932 and 1935 with the purpose of to acquire a technical-scientific
knowledge of those territories just reconquered from Italy.
In 1936, for initiative of Italo Balbo, governor of Libya,
Desio performs an aerial ricognition to the southern boundaries
of the colony, flying over the Ribesti Massif (3400 meters s.l.m.),
ricognition repeated some year later, in 1940. His researches allowed
Desio to draw the first geological card of Libya, and to the discovery
of important acquiferous layers near of Misurata and the western
Gefara, essential to the agricultural colonization projects of the
Libyan government. The geological surveys requested from Balbo lead
to the discovery of the first shows of oil.
In 1953 the K2 returns to crowd the mind of Desire. Thanks
to the contribution of the CONI and of the CAI, Desio, together
with the climber Riccardo Cassin, carry out a preliminary esploration
in Indian and in Pakistan. In July 31st 1953, Campagnoni
and Lacedelli reach the peak of the K2.
In 1987, after the announcement of Gorge Wallerstein, of
the Washinghton University, that the K2 and not the Everest is the
higher mountain of the world: Desio decides to measure in place,
together with Agostino Da Polenza, the real height of the two mountains.
The expedition, financed by the Italian National Research Council,
leaves in july 28th under the leadership of Da Polenza,
finishing the intense activities in a month. The higher mountain
results to be still the Everest, with its 8.872 meters, while the
K2 long-awaited on 8616 meters.
EV-K2-CNR on initiative of Desio, continues, in fact, with
the accomplishment of the laboratory Pyramid placed in 1989 to about
5050 meters of height, at Everest base, to carry out multidisciplinary
searches and still operating. The Pyramid searches lead Desio, at
the age of 90 years, still on the Himalaya.

If you are into golf at all you always will look at the LPGA just to see who is the hottest and not the most productive. So here are the Hottest Girls in the LPGA. We all probably know who the number one is but you still want to go find out and see if your right. Well you might be but please enjoy the pictures. Im sure you will follow the LPGA much much more now.
Top Ten Hottest LPGA Golfers
By Brian Kelly ,
She is the number one player in the Tour but unfortunately not number one on this important list. She has five victories so far this year and is in the top 100 of most influential people.
She has the big stick in this tour with the longest drive. But not only can she smack the ball she can dress up and look hot.
At number 9 we have Morgan Pressel.. Her career started off well in the amateurs and has continued in the LPGA. She qualified for the US Womens Open at age of 12. She is the youngest to ever win a tournament at the age of 17.
This cute girl has only been on the tour for four years and is already ranked at 26th on the top money list. She has nine wins and been on tour since 2005.
Melissa Reid is placed at 8th place and she is the top female amateur in England. She placed in 16h place at the English Womens Open.
She has broken many records as a young athlete but is still legal. Dont worry we dont need any questions going around here. She is 18 and has dominated the tour with her great play. She is also 6 '1'' witch is always nice.
Hey she might be a little older but have you ever heard of a cougar? I know I have and I would love to be the pool boy for her house. Turned pro in 1996 and have 15 tournament wins.
She is Australian and plays on the LPGA. She has only had an average career so far but I don't pay attention to the wins.
She too is also from Austraila and Im not thinking about moving out there. Her golf game has been more with turning heads for appearance and not her golf swing. She is also a model on the side. She graduated from USC
Where do I begin! She is hot and no one can argue that. She is the hottest female athlete ever.
I mean come one the LPGA told her she had to stop selling Calendars because it was giving the Tour and "sexist" Image.
I think that exactly what it needs if it wants viewers. She has been on the tour since 2005. And who cares if she has won any tournaments.

PULMONARY lymphangitic carcinoma is generally regarded as a diffuse permeation of pulmonary and pleural lymphatics resulting in a characteristic, clinical, radiological, and pathological appearance (Fig 1). It is a disease process generally regarded as uniformly fatal soon after a diagnosis is made. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the above concepts were correct, based on a retrospective study of the natural history of the disease.
The main method in diagnosing lymphangitic carcinoma consists in obtaining a characteristic radiological picture. Since pathological proof of the diagnosis in the living is usually lacking, a decision was made to study carefully the lungs of a uniform group of patients who are known to have a relatively high incidence of lymphangitic carcinoma.
There were 365 consecutive autopsies performed from Jan 1, 1960, to Dec 31, 1964, on all patients who died from breast carcinoma at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. All

Michelle Bukaty worked the Friday night drag races at Dunn Tire Raceway Park in Lancaster for 24 years, beginning when she was just 13, but she quit working there two years ago after unexplained muscle weakness and balance problems led to a series of falls.
It wasn't until this spring that doctors diagnosed Bukaty with a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Bukaty responded by making plans for a trip she wanted to take while she still had enough energy and mobility to go, and that's why she's in Las Vegas this weekend to watch the top professional drag racers and to cheer on a driver from this area.
"This is my bucket list dream," Bukaty told The Buffalo News. "This is the one thing I always wanted to do."
ALS is progressive, and there's no known cure. Bukaty is on medication, but her symptoms persist and she struggles with tasks such as getting up and down the stairs in her house or walking her dog.
Her optimism in the face of her health challenges and those of her family make a strong impression on her friends in the racing community.
"It puts things in perspective sometimes, when I lose a race and you feel sorry for yourself," said Billy Leber, a drag racer on the national circuit who started out racing at the Lancaster track.
Bukaty grew up in Cheektowaga in a family that loved drag racing. Her father, Chuck Gioeli, raced for many years and was a starter at what is now called Dunn Tire Raceway Park.
Bukaty tagged along with her father to the race track as a child and began working there well before she was old enough to get her driver's license.
She started out handing the drivers their elapsed time, or E.T., tickets after the Friday night drag races. She eventually was assigned to working the race lanes, where she made sure the drivers were lined up in the proper order.
Bukaty was well known for her talkative nature, her ready smile and her ear-splitting laugh. Gary Westfall, a longtime track employee who now serves as assistant race director, has a recording of her laugh on his cellphone.
"You could just have gotten run over by a car, but if she'd laughed, you'd laugh," Westfall said.
Bukaty took a year off from working at the track after she married her husband, Jim, a salesman who doesn't like racing but tolerates his wife's passion for the sport. Bukaty soon returned to the track, even as she raised two children.
She worked full time at the Hamburg Casino, and her seasonal, part-time job at the track sometimes barely covered the cost of hiring a baby-sitter.
"You're doing it for the love of the sport," Bukaty said in a recent interview in her Hamburg home.
However, in 2007, Bukaty went to her family doctor because she'd started feeling soreness in her legs.
This began five years of examinations by eight area doctors who couldn't diagnose what was wrong with Bukaty, who developed weakness in her muscles and saw her reflexes and sense of balance deteriorate.
Doctors at various times told her she had fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis, but the medication she took for those and other suggested conditions didn't help her. "We tried everything," said Bukaty, who had 12 MRIs and lost track of how many times she had blood drawn for testing.
Bukaty's symptoms worsened, and after several spills at the race track, she decided in March 2010 that she couldn't continue working there.
"That was very hard to do," Westfall said. "That race track, Lancaster, has been her life."
She still didn't know what was wrong with her until a doctor recommended she visit the Cleveland Clinic, where, in April, she received a diagnosis of a form of ALS, which is a motor neuron disease.
Bukaty excused herself from the doctor's office and went to the women's bathroom. Her mother, Pam, followed her in and asked what was wrong.
"I said, 'Mom, all I want to do is work at that race track,'" Bukaty recalled. "And the reality is, I can't. I can't do what I did."
Bukaty knows she won't get better, but she's on a regimen of four prescription drugs and eight vitamins to help stabilize her condition and ease her pain.
She still struggles with her balance and holds onto furniture or railings, while shuffling her feet to steady herself as she walks. She relies on a cane at times, or a wheelchair if she has farther to go, though she doesn't like to be seen in a wheelchair.
"I'm a 41-year-old person. I just feel like I'm in a 90-year-old body, which I don't like at all," said Bukaty.
Doctors have ordered her to move from her raised ranch house in Hamburg to a one-story ranch. The pending move has been hard on her son, Ryan, who is 10 and doesn't completely understand what his mother is going through.
"I look at my children and I say, 'Oh my God, I feel so young to have to have this.' I feel that I can't be the mother that I should be to my children," Bukaty said.
Facing an uncertain future, she decided she wanted to travel to Las Vegas to watch top-level drag racing while she can still get around.
Michelle and Jim Bukaty haven't taken a trip like this since their honeymoon 16 years ago, and she doesn't even own luggage.
"I had to borrow a suitcase to go do this," Michelle Bukaty said.
She won't be doing much gambling while she's there. She plans to watch Mike Janis Sr., a Lancaster resident, as he tries to qualify for this weekend's pro modified drag race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"I'm definitely going to make it special for her when she gets here," Janis said.
She's also going to watch the top-level drivers compete in the National Hot Rod Association's Big O Tires Nationals, and officials with the speedway have arranged VIP treatment for her – including the chance to meet Funny Car legend John Force.
Bukaty met and took a picture with Force years ago and she's bringing that picture with her to have him sign it.
"She's so excited about this," Leber said.
Bukaty's racing friends say they hope she has a trip to remember this weekend. They say they miss her at the Lancaster raceway and they don't know how she stays as positive as she does, given everything she and her family are going through.
Her daughter, Amanda, 14, lives with Type I diabetes; Bukaty's mother has lung cancer; and her father is in treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
It's been a difficult past five years, Bukaty admitted, capped by her own dire diagnosis.
"It is what it is," she said. "I can't change it. So I guess I'm accepting it. Not that I like it or don't like it. I'm just accepting it. We're just getting through. It's a daily thing."

War of the Tablets: Apple's iPad, Amazon's Kindle & Microsoft's Slate
in Digital Marketing | by Ethan Lyon
By Ethan Lyon, Senior Writer
Apple is going to be a major competitor in the tablet market with its much-anticipated, iPad. Apple, Amazon and Microsoft are vying for market leadership in what is "expected to be the PC industry's hot new category for 2010," writes Information Week.
Apple has set the industry standard with its iPad, with a clear opportunity for market leadership. Amazon is poised to be the #2 market competitor as it adds more tablet-like features to its successful Kindle. We anticipate the Windows 7-powered HP Slate to take the #3 position in the tablet market.
Historically, Apple's products are category game-changers (think the iPod in the MP3 market and the iPhone's touchscreen and app store in the smartphone market). Apple has home-team advantage with its touch-screen technology and will surely deliver a higher-quality user-experience over Amazon's Kindle and Microsoft's Slate. If consumers are willing to pay a potentially higher price for a better user experience, then Apple will be the market leader.
Amazon's Kindle is certainly poised to take the #2 position. Amazon is transforming its e-reader into a tablet with new features, such as internet connectivity and apps. Amazon can leverage Kindle's existing user-base to generate revenues. The Kindle has 90% e-reader market share and analysts estimate the Kindle to reach $2 billion a year by 2012.
Microsoft is taking a different approach. Microsoft learned a hard lesson in the MP3 market with its disappointing, Zune. Instead of developing the tablet hardware, Microsoft is providing the operating system for HP's Slate. By leveraging the leader in the PC market, Microsoft could make some traction in the table market.
Unlike the MP3 market, Apple does not have a clear leadership position — giving Microsoft and Amazon's Kindle a fighting chance. However, the tablet is a new, cutting-edge product and Apple's core brand competency is innovation. This inherent quality could give Apple the advantage it needs to be the market leader (promotion: e-course to boost app sales) .
The one area Amazon and Microsoft can compete, is price. Traditionally, Apple's products are more expensive than its competitors. If consumers want a tablet, but don't want to pay Apple's high prices, Amazon and Microsoft generate significant market share.

|Methods and Notes:
Data were collected by Master of Geology student Kacy Krieger during his work at Idaho State University. Features were observed visually typically using a slope map derived from the 1m DOT Umiat LiDAR DEM. Features were visually categorized for the local topographic setting, the relative age of the feature and the specific type of thermal erosion feature. Automated techniques were used to add the x,y position of each feature, the aspect and underlying geologic unit. All work was completed in ArcGIS v10.0 and data were organized within a geodatabase.

Inverse Flattening: 298.257222101
This is the downslope direction (in degrees) that the feature faces. This was calculated as a derivative from the DEM and averaged using a neighborhood around the feature.
Topographic Setting:
This category was used to describe the setting of the feature to explore whether certain features occurred within or created a particular type of landform. The categories used were Conv (Convergent), Planar (no significant curvature) and Margin (feature is close to or on a break in slope, typically the edge of a river or lake).
Landform Age:
These categories and codes are consistent with the surficial geology map units described by Hamilton 1978 and 1979. They typically describe the glacial age of the landform but may simply describe the type of material present at or near the surface e.g. 'c' for undifferentiated colluvium. Note that some features are off Hamilton's maps and are thus not assigned an age. The full references for the publications are:
Hamilton, T. D. (1978). Surficial geologic map of the Philip Smith Mountains Quadrangle, Alaska. United States, U. S. Geological Survey: Reston, VA, United States.
Hamilton, T. D. (1979). Surficial geologic map of the Chandler Lake Quadrangle, Alaska. United States, U. S. Geological Survey : Reston, VA, United States.
Feature Maturity:
We classified each feature into one of three relative maturity classes: sharp (1), degrading (2), and diffuse (3) based on the condition of the head scarp, lateral walls, and depositional lobes. Sharp features have the steepest headwalls and best defined erosion and depositional zones. Degrading features have moderate relief on the headwall, a relaxed headwall slope and the change in boundary with the surrounding topography and headwall is diffused. Diffuse features have smooth, rounded headwall and depositional zones that make them difficult to distinguish from the surrounding topography.
Feature Type (or class):
We classified individual features based on morphology into three classes; active layer detachment, gully thermokarst and retrogressive thaw slumps (Jorgenson and Osterkamp, 2005; Jorgenson, 2008; Osterkamp et al., 2000). Active layer detachments (ALD) form when the active layer becomes saturated causing the active layer to slide or flow over the frozen substrate. These features are linear to curvilinear, narrow and generally much longer than wide. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) form when exposed permafrost soils are exposed and experience rapid transport downslope resulting in a steep arc-shaped headwalls that retrogressively move upslope as thawed materials flow downslope and are deposited. Thermal erosion gullies or gully thermokarsts (GTK) form narrow, long channels along degraded ice wedges, bifurcated along those patterns and occur where surface water is concentrated.

Pinnacles National Park designation passes Senate
Site was designated as national monument in 1908
A bill designating central California's Pinnacles National Monument a national park is awaiting President Barack Obama's signature.
The Pinnacles National Park Act, designed to raise the profile of the sanctuary's towering rock formations and caves, was passed by the Senate during a rare Sunday session. The House approved it in July.
President Theodore Roosevelt designated the 26,000-acre Pinnacles site a national monument in 1908.
Sen. Barbara Boxer sponsored the bill with fellow California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Boxer tells the Los Angeles Times that national park designation will give the site near Soledad the recognition it deserves as well as boost tourism.

Looking for a little horror on your Halloween?
It wasn't your ordinary Tulane self-destruct at home. The Green Wave (3-5, 1-3 in Conference USA) had firm command of this one until less than two minutes remained in the third quarter. But the familiar meltdown came late and was complete as Tulane allowed four consecutive unanswered touchdown drives from the end of the third to the fourth quarter.
"We weren't able to respond," Griffin, who passed for 121 yards, said. "I put that on myself."
Tulane had a chance to hang with the surging Mustangs on the goal line with about 4:50 left. It trailed by a touchdown but had just converted a fourth down and inched down to the 5-yard line. But the Griffin's pass went into the wrong hands – SMU safety Chris Banjo's for an interception in the end zone.
"I didn't see the guy," Griffin said. "I was reading front side and I knew (tight end) Cody (Sparks) would be back around his side and I thought he was wide open and (Banjo) was right behind him. I didn't see (Banjo) at all and I threw it right to him."
SMU quarterback Kyle Padron took over from there. He hit Aldrick Robinson on a 56-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage. Four plays later, Padron rushed in for a 3-yard score that with the kick pushed the Mustangs to their final margin of victory.
"It's really disappointment more than being frustrated at this point," Tulane Coach Bob Toledo said. "We're disappointed because we had a chance and we played a good football team and they beat us, but we had a chance to win a football game and we just didn't make enough plays to get it done. And that's just the disappointing thing. We had a chance to win two in a row, to be 2-2 at home, to be 4-4, and now, all of a sudden, we're behind the eight ball again and scrambling to try to get some wins down the stretch."
The fourth quarter erased the joy of a career performance from Orleans Darkwa. The Tulane freshman running back gained 193 yards on 29 carries. He had 154 of the yards by halftime. Though he did not score, he set up the only Green Wave offensive touchdown by gaining 43 of the drive's 52 yards. It helped Tulane to a 7-3 halftime lead.
"It felt good, but at the end of the day the stats don't mean anything without the win," Darkwa said. "It feels good to know that I had a career day, but it doesn't make that big of a difference because we didn't get the victory."
That success seemed imminent after a key play in the third quarter. Green Wave defensive end Austen Jacks scooped up a fumble on a Mustang reception and ran 23 yard for a score that gave the Green Wave a two-touchdown with 2:23 to go in the third.
The game was theirs with a 17-3 edge.
"I think that's how we felt," Jacks said. "I think we might have been a little over-confident and after that we weren't able to respond and finish the job."
But that would be the final time Tulane got in the end zone on Saturday. Then the Mustangs did a number on the defense scoring on its next four drives in three minutes or less. Zach Line, the SMU running back, scored back-to-back touchdowns to fuel the surge.
And not being able to squash the Mustangs after keeping them out of the end zone for the first two quarters hurt. SMU settled for a field goal in the first half – the first time it hadn't scored a touchdown in the opening two quarters all year.
But once the SMU entered the end zone, it made a habit of it Saturday to Tulane's chagrin.
It was a tough pill for the Green Wave to swallow after making steady strides in all phases in the past few weeks. Tulane just wasn't able to turn a corner and match Toledo's highest season win total – four – after the troublesome final period.
"We're closer than we've ever been and yet we can't put games away," Toledo said. "And that's the frustrating and disappointing thing about it. We were playing against a sophomore quarterback and he was getting things done, the team was getting done. SMU is a young team too, and we've got to give their staff and those kids credit, they're a young football team. They performed when they had to, and we didn't."
The Mustangs (5-4, 4-1) walked out with at least a share of the West Division lead. Padron turned a ho-hum first half into a banner day with 18-of-32 passing for 354 yards and an 82-yard touchdown to his credit.
Griffin, Darkwa and the boys in white and green left spooked again by its inability to win consecutive games this season.
"Everybody's down. We're disappointed. We should have had this game, but we let it slip away," Darkwa said. "But we're going to go out on Monday and practice and get the W next week."

always good
by townsend13339392
very good, reliable wine at a price that makes you want to drink more of it... Goes great with pasta and pizza...what more do you need?
by Sarracino12157303
I actually liked this better than the Ruffino Chianti Classico. A very easy to drink Chianti that will go well with almost any meal that calls for a red wine.
Standard in our home
by Giannetti12600565
Don't be fooled by the low price. This is a great everyday chianti that we always have around. This tastes just like the local wines you find in Italy. Enjoy with pizza or any italian meal. It won't overpower. You can serve it in a juice glass like the Italians do with their everyday table wines, or you can serve it in a wine glass and it still holds its own.
Our favorite...
by mcdonald11987198
This is an excellent Chianti for the price. Great for everyday drinking as well as serving guests.
A can't fail Chianti
by vinotek
This is a reliable Chianti at a great price. The distinctive characteristics of the Sangiovese are dominant, but there is also a subtle fruitiness that makes this an appealing wine to a wide range of palettes. Put Dean Martin on the stereo, your favorite pasta on the table, and this Chianti in your glass and you will have an Italian fete right out of the movies.
Everything You'd expect
by Steve12676922
Everything you'd expect out of a Chianti at this price. Not overwhelming but alot of fruit on the frunt end. Not a long finish but acceptable.
the winery also turns out a simple Chianti that delivers the earthy notes of a good Tuscan red.

by Monsorno12187459
It's a Chainti so you already know it's going to be good. For the price excellent, overall average.

Appellation: Gigondas and Vacqueyras
92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January 2012
(made from a grenache-dominant blend that includes syrah, mourvedre, cinsault and clairette): Bright ruby. Complex, seductively perfumed scents of candied red and dark berries, lavender, sassafras and woodsmoke, with slow-building spiciness. Broad and seamless on the palate, with sweet black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors that become spicier with air. Closes with impressive vivacity and cut, leaving floral and allspice notes behind.
