The demand for energy consumption is increasing rapidly. To avoid the impending energy crunch, more producers are switching from oil to natural gas. While natural gas engineering is well documented through many sources, the computer applications that provide a crucial role in engineering design and analysis are not well published, and emerging technologies, such as shale gas drilling, are generating more advanced applications for engineers to utilize on the job. To keep producers updated, Boyun Guo and Ali Ghalambor have enhanced their best-selling manual, Natural Gas Engineering Handbook, to continue to provide upcoming and practicing engineers the full scope of natural gas engineering with a computer-assisted approach.
This must-have handbook includes:

The experiments of a number of careful investigators have discredited the claims made for ozone as a purifier of air. Largely on the basis of claims already disproved, several manufacturers are so successful in introducing ozone machines into public buildings that this purposeful adulteration of the air with ozone and its accompanying impurities threatens to become a public health problem.
Ohlmüller1 demonstrated that ozone in considerable strength was incapable of killing dry bacteria within the time-limits of his tests. Erlandsen and Schwarz2 showed the falsity of the claim that the presence of free ozone means the absence of organic impurity in the air. They demonstrated, through careful analyses, that ammonia and hydrogen sulphid were not diminished in amount by the presence of ozone. They showed also that the deodorizing property of ozone consisted of the masking of one odor with another. In their experiments with a number of

Luke Ridnour, 6-2 point guard,
What the analysts are saying: A
majority of the recognized draft analysts predict Ridnour will be taken among
the first 15 players in the first round. Several
see the point guard from
Rumors abound that
My take: This year's draft is remarkably
deep in point guards, with as many as five or six points or combo guards likely
to be taken among the first 20 or so picks.
Ridnour's draft position may well depend on the styles of play and the
particular needs of the teams drafting between the 10 and 20 spots in the first
round, and those teams are subject to change because of the probability of a
large number of trades. The plot
thickens when you consider that the experts see Ridnour ranking anywhere from
third among all eligible point guards (behind T.J. Ford and Kirk Hinrich) to
fifth (behind Reece Gaines and Marcus Banks as well).
I would look for
Luke Walton, 6-8 forward,
What the analysts are saying: Although I've seen only one draft projection (by Mike Kahn of CBSSportsline.com) that has Walton being picked in the first round, the 6-8 combo forward is moving up most of the pundits' lists. The consensus now is that he's a mid-second round pick. Scouts love his instincts, basketball IQ and passing ability, but his lack of perimeter skills, quickness and athleticism are obvious liabilities.
My take: Somebody will select Walton
no later than the middle of the second round, but I think that team will wind up
being disappointed. Walton was able
to get the most out of his abilities at
Jason Kapono, 6-8 small forward, UCLA
What the analysts are saying: Kapono's stock is rising with many scouts, to the point where he's a consensus mid-second round pick. Analysts love his outside shot and court sense. Some see him being picked earlier than Walton. The knock against Kapono is his defense and lack of athleticism.
My take: In a draft loaded with
European players, Kapono is an anomaly. He's
a four year college player from the
Tommy Smith, 6-10 forward,
What the analysts are saying: Smith has gotten very little publicity, but he's seen as a probable second round pick. The scouts and analysts love his versatility, length and athleticism. On the other hand, Smith is not seen as doing any one thing exceptionally well, and his career at ASU wasn't necessarily all it could have been.
My take: Smith may be worthy of a late second round selection. I question whether he's worthy of being taken early in the second round, as NBADraft.net (which is not among the most respected sources) predicts, but a team enamored of his length and athleticism may jump on him. Smith has a shot at making an NBA roster, but I would be surprised if he sticks around for more than a few years. Guys who have length and versatility -- but don't do any one thing particularly well -- are a dime a dozen in the NBA.
Julius Barnes, 6-1 guard, Stanford
Read the April issue of The Bootleg Magazine and recent stories on the website (click here) for in-depth looks at Barnes' draft prospects. In short, Barnes may sneak into the second round on the strength of individual workouts with NBA teams. On the other hand, teams that are legitimately interested in him may opt not to draft him, thinking that he'll be available later as an undrafted free agent.
Players making late moves:
Up: Marcus Banks, point guard, UNLV. Scouts love his size, athleticism and defensive ability, and he may be chosen ahead of Ridnour, an outcome that was unthinkable just a month or two ago. Banks may be chosen as high as the 15th pick of the first round, awfully early for a player whose true point guard skills are generally considered unproven.
Down: T.J. Ford, point guard,

Federal Real Property:
Improved Data Needed to Strategically Manage Historic Buildings, Address Multiple Challenges

What GAO Found
The General Services Administration (GSA), the National Park Service (NPS), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have undertaken portfolio-wide efforts in recent years to identify historic buildings they hold, nominate some of those buildings to the National Register of Historic Places, and manage their historic buildings in an effort to comply with the requirements in the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and relevant executive orders. While these agencies use and preserve some of their historic buildings to meet mission needs, others are excess or unsuited for current mission needs. GAO found several instances in which these agencies leased part or all of some historic buildings to non-federal entities that could use and preserve the buildings. GAO also found that these agencies had implemented projects in some of their historic buildings to improve their sustainable performance, such as installing green roofs and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.
GSA, NPS, and VA face an array of challenges in managing historic buildings, including functional limitations of older buildings in relation to contemporary mission needs and current building codes, budgetary limitations, and competing stakeholder interests. Competing stakeholder interest can become apparent during the required consultation with stakeholders, such as the state historic preservation officers, prior to implementing projects that may affect a historic building. Compounding these property management challenges, the selected agencies' data on historic buildings in the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) are not complete. GSA and VA are still working to evaluate many buildings that are over 50 years old. Also, GSA and NPS have not reported complete and consistent historic-building data to the FRPP--in comparison to data they track within their agencies' historic-building databases. GAO reported its concerns with the reliability of FRPP data in 2012. This review emphasizes the relevance of these concerns to the historic-building data included in the database. In June 2012, GAO recommended improvements to the FRPP database to enhance its consistency, completeness, and usefulness in federal decision making. Such improvements are also necessary to increase the consistency and completeness of historic-building data in the FRPP.
Why GAO Did This Study
The federal government has made some progress addressing previously identified issues with managing federal real property. This includes establishing the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) and creating the FRPP database to identify and report agencies' real property, including attributes such as historic status. GAO was asked to assess issues related to historic preservation at nondefense agencies. GAO's review focused on-- GSA, NPS, and VA--three nondefense agencies that hold significant numbers of historic buildings. This report identifies (1) actions these agencies have taken to manage historic federal buildings, and (2) any challenges they have faced. GAO selected and visited a sample of 31 historic buildings managed by the three agencies. The results of these site visits cannot be generalized but provide important insights. GAO interviewed agency officials and reviewed agencies' efforts to preserve, use or lease, and improve the sustainable performance of those buildings. GAO also interviewed officials from the selected agencies about their agencies' preservation programs, including actions to identify and report on their historic buildings.
What GAO Recommends
GSA--in collaboration and consultation with NPS, VA, and FRPC member agencies, and others--should ensure that the action plan being developed to improve FRPP also addresses the need for improved data on historic buildings. GSA agreed with GAO's recommendation and further reported that it has, in part, already taken action to rectify inconsistencies GAO found between GSA's FRPP data and its internal data sources.
For more information, contact David Wise at (202) 512-2834 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Previously, GAO reported that data elements in the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) database were not always defined and reported consistently and accurately. In 2012, GAO reviewed agencies' FRPP historic building data and found that inconsistencies remained. Specifically, GAO found that the historic status of over 75 percent and 63 percent of General Services Administration (GSA) and National Park Service (NPS) buildings, respectively, were categorized as "not evaluated" in FRPP. In addition, FRPP data for NPS in fiscal year 2011 showed that NPS had almost 1,500 national historic landmark buildings, while its reporting to Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) in 2011 indicates NPS had 177 national historic landmarks. These data inconsistencies were because of FRPP's lack of a status code for buildings that are "contributing" elements in a national historic landmark (or National Register listed) site or district. Lastly, ACHP officials told GAO that they do not have access to FRPP data, despite their request to GSA, to conduct analyses on federal historic buildings. GAO found that GSA allows access to agencies' FRPP data only when access is granted by individual agency data administrators. ACHP officials also noted it is difficult for ACHP to draw quantifiable summary data from individual agencies' Preserve America submissions because agencies inconsistently report historic building data. Therefore, GAO recommended that GSA determine whether changes are needed--to historic data elements or guidance--to ensure that data are consistently and accurately reported; develop in FRPP fiscal-year summary reports, data that will better convey to the public and stakeholders--including OMB and Congress--a sense of the extent of historic buildings held by agencies, such as total numbers or percentages; and, facilitate ACHP's access to FRPP data, as appropriate, so that ACHP can better fulfill its historic-building advisory role to Congress and the President. In 2014, GSA first, updated its FRPP annual guidance to agencies to include updated definitions for each of the historic designation data elements. Second, GSA released a series of FRPP end-of-year summary reports that now conveys to the public and interested stakeholders a sense of the extent of historic buildings held by federal agencies. Finally, in 2016, GSA worked with ACHP to facilitate and grant it access to FRPP data. As a result, FRPP historic building data should be more consistent, accurate and accessible to the public and stakeholders but also better equip stakeholders to make decisions regarding historic preservation.
Recommendation: The Acting Administrator of GSA--in collaboration and consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), NPS, VA, and FRPC member agencies--should ensure that the action plan being developed to improve FRPP data includes actions to improve historic-building data by addressing the following areas, at a minimum: (1) determining whether changes are needed--to historic data elements or guidance--to ensure that data are consistently and accurately reported; (2) developing, in FRPP fiscal-year summary reports, data that will better convey to the public and stakeholders--including Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress--a sense of the extent of historic buildings held by agencies, such as total numbers or percentages; and, (3) facilitating ACHP's access to FRPP data, as appropriate, so that ACHP can better fulfill its historic-building advisory role to Congress and the President.

Ladybug Lunch Bag
I made Lara a new bag for lunch since her old store-bought one disintegrated. This one is about as wonky as the photo makes it look, mostly because I put felt between the outside and lining layers for insulation. Still, she likes it - mostly because it says "Lara" on it - so I guess that's all that matters!
Happy Passover, everyone - we're off for the weekend! Stay tuned next week - I've got a new tutorial all ready to go on how to convert a bookshelf to a changing table, and how to make fabric-covered boxes in the process.

In less than three weeks, USC Aiken junior Kasee Futreal will begin what she considers a life-changing experience – and who could argue.
The fine arts major is headed to Orvieto, Italy, on May 16 for six weeks as the recipient of a scholarship from the Partners in Friendship organization in Aiken.
During that time, Futreal will work on an archaeological dig and get a chance to see art pieces throughout the country directly.
Dr. John Elliott, an art history professor and a PIF member, encouraged Futreal to apply for the scholarship.
"I can hear Dr. Elliott's love and passion for art history," Futreal said. "His classes are amazing. He casually suggested the trip, and said I would regret it for not applying. I jumped on it, and I still haven't stopped smiling. I'm so ecstatic."
Founded in 1996, Partners in Friendship collaborates in a sister-city relationship with Orvieto. That opportunity provided many Aiken residents the opportunity to meet the late artist Livio Orazio Valentini.
He visited USCA for the first time in 1997 and continued to return and also welcome those from Aiken to Italy. His artwork remains on display at the university.
Valentini provided many workshops and lectures and became good friends with Elliott and others – among them Dr. Bob Alexander, a retired USCA chancellor.
For many years, the group has sponsored high school student exchanges with Orvieto.
"We've always wanted to send a college student to Orvieto for the archaeological dig," Elliott said. "Kasee will live with an Italian family. She is such a treat and really works hard. She'll do papers for Bob and me."
Futreal grew up in Clearwater and graduated from Midland Valley High School. She has been obsessed with Roman and Greek mythology, and there's a reason.
"Actually, it was the Disney movie, 'Hercules,'" Futreal said with a grin.
Maria Anastasiou, USCA's international programs director, agrees that Futreal is getting the opportunity to expand her world. The dig in the Orvieto area is focused on exploring caves from the Etruscan period dating back 25 centuries and more. The project director, Dr. Claudio Bizzari, also has visited USCA and taught there one semester.
"Kasee will be working on a new portion of the dig, where evidence has been found of a pyramid," Elliott said. " ... It's an exciting find as there is no previous indication of an Etruscan pyramid."
Futreal won't be traveling alone. She has the same schedule as a group of University of Arizona students – all 90 of them.

Freddy Rodriguez
Jump to
Although he rose to prominence as ambitious undertaker Rico Diaz on the groundbreaking HBO series "Six Feet Under" (2001-05), Freddy Rodriguez had been plying his trade as an actor for nearly a decade. Turning to performing to escape the criminality of inner city living, Rodriguez quit Chicago for Hollywood in 1994 and quickly built an impressive résumé of feature film and television roles. An early part as the son of screen legend Anthony Quinn in Alfonso Arau's "A Walk in the Clouds" (1995) led to meatier assignments in "Dead Presidents" (1995), "The Pest" (1997), "Payback" (1999) and the HBO biopic "For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story" (2000). During the acclaimed run of "Six Feet Under," Rodriguez was a semi-regular on the hit NBC sitcom "Scrubs" (NBC/ABC, 2001-2010) and starred with Anne Hathaway in Barbara Kopple's controversial "Havoc" (2005). With the uptake in his celebrity stock, Rodriguez enjoyed bits in Wolfgang Petersen's big budget disaster flick "Poseidon" (2006) and M. Night Shyamalan's whimsical "Lady in the Lake" (2006) while proving a charismatic leading man in Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" (2007) and Randall Miller's indie comedy "Bottle Shock" (2008). Not even the quick cancellation of his CBS series "Chaos" (2011) could slow the career ascendancy of Freddy Rodriguez, a veteran Hollywood player bound for bigger and better things on screens big and small.

It started with Ronald Reagan, the king of generational theft, and was continued and amplified by its emperor, George W Bush. I'll never forget hearing Reagan say that he saw no difference between government borrowing and government taxing to pay for his unprecedented increases in armaments, while giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy.
That is what generational theft is, and G.W. followed Reagan's direction with gusto into the hole we now find ourselves. Even so, in a way that seems the height of bullheadedness, these people argue against any element of the stimulus that is not trickle-down.
Thank God that President Obama understands this, and we finally have a chance to change direction.

Learn a second language on the cheap
February 3, 2016
One of my relatives believed the Russians planned to take over the United States in the 1950's, so she decided to learn their language.
She took all the classes offered and then to further her skill, she volunteered at a local Russian community center.
That worked for her. And she learned to make the best piroshky.
Now, though the fear of another country running our government has diminished, speaking and understanding Spanish, Korean, Japanese or any other language benefits us in many ways.
For me, knowing Spanish helps me communicate with many of my service providers.
When you're in the market to change careers or better your current one, a second language improves your job prospects.
Studies show that while learning another tongue, you develop better mental health and stave off dementia. The process helps you get comfortable with other cultures. And when you're fluent, you feel successful.
If you want to learn another language, you don't have to buy expensive books, audio tapes or take costly classes. Try some or all of these methods instead.

BOSTON ---- Anthony Rizzo has struggled in his first 10 games as a Padre, but that doesn't mean he's headed to the bench.
"He's going to play," Padres' manager Bud Black said of his young first baseman. "He's got a very good head on his shoulders, has poise, and a great perspective on where he is right now for a 21-year-old. Now he needs time to continue to grow as a player and develop as a major-leaguer."
Rizzo entered Monday's game batting .148 (4-for-27), with a solo home run accounting for his only RBI.
"He might be overswinging a little bit right now, but we have no doubt that he's going to be a really good player," said Padres general manager Jed Hoyer, who orchestrated the trade that brought Rizzo and three others to the Padres for Adrian Gonzalez. "He's just gonna go though some growing pains."
Rizzo isn't making any excuses for his early struggles, saying he's learning from his initial experiences in the major leagues.
"I'm really gaining more confidence from every situation I'm in," Rizzo said, "every situation I come from that maybe I fail at or didn't come through, it's just good.
"I'm young. I wanna be in as many big situations as I can so I can build off of them."
Even Gonzalez believes the struggles are temporary for the player who replaced him as the Padres' first baseman.
"I met him in San Diego for a little bit during the offseason, and I was really impressed," Gonzalez said. "He's a great player, great kid, and he's strong. He's gonna have a great future in the game."
Roberts healthy
First base coach Dave Roberts is back at Fenway Park after receiving a good medical report following his treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Roberts said he got clean scans at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. He talked before the Padres opened a three-game series against his former team on Monday night.
Roberts, a Rancho Buena Vista High graduate, underwent treatment after the cancer was discovered early last year and worked out with Padres players early this year. He has to undergo two scans each year.
The former outfielder may be best known for his stolen base in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4 of the 2004 American League championship series with the New York Yankees leading 4-3 after they won the first three games.

Drought over
Orlando Hudson's three-run home run in the sixth inning was his first as a Padre and ended a 269-at-bat homerless drought. Hudon's previous home run came on August 17, 2010 against White Sox pitcher John Danks.

'Poster Boy'
Henry Kray is a gay student at a fictional private college in New York. His freedom to be as miserably self-involved and openly sexually active as his peers is curtailed by his father's position: Republican senator from North Carolina. When the senator asks his son to step up to the campaign podium on his behalf, the closeted Henry has a crisis of conscience, and his father's PR charade begins to break down. Poster Boy's frame, in which Henry spills the details of the scandal to a self-interested reporter, reeks of contrivance. And the drama that fills the flashbacks is painfully hyperbolized. Despite the screenwriters' attempts to make him sympathetic, Henry is surly and coy, so we don't care whether he escapes his father's heartless machine. Rather than creating believable characters engaged in nuanced conflict, Boy proffers a pair of obvious symbols and hopes that they'll make a statement about the personal and the political.

In my special tomorrow, titled "Myths, Lies and Complete Stupidity" I argue that it is myth to say that fracking, used to get natural gas out of the ground, is unacceptably dangerous.
So I was puzzled that some serious people, like Paul Gallay of Riverkeeper, want fracking stopped. When I interviewed him, he made what sounds like a compelling case.

渋谷慶一郎 (Keiichiro Shibuya) - ATAK015 for maria
Something simple and pure after all that glory. Melancholic solo piano hits the spot. "for maria" makes my heart weep, then cry out of joy, the weep again, like I'd lost a dear friend, then remember the friends I have and smile.

Berkeley County authorities seized about 28 ounces of marijuana this week while conducting a search of a Moncks Corner home.
The find resulted in the arrest of 29-year-old Derrick James Holmes, of English Oak Circle. He was held on Wednesday at the Berkeley County jail, charged with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, sheriff's deputies reported.
The Sheriff's Office's Drug Enforcement Unit conducted the search of the English Oak Circle residence. According to authorities, the drugs that were found there would be worth around $8,300 on the street.
Holmes was released from jail this week on $20,000 in bail.

CHARLES TOWN - The senior class of the Washington girls soccer team didn't know if their time would ever come.
Sure, they won three straight sectional championships. Until this year, though, the Patriots season had always ended in the regional round.
A loss in penalty kicks ended the season for Washington in 2011. A year ago, they suffered a 3-2 loss to homestanding Buckhannon-Upshur.
Article Photos
Journal photo by Ron Agnir
Washington goalkeeper Kylie Nelson leaps above Skylee Watson of Elkins to catch a corner kick during the second half of the Class AAA, Region II championship.
Not this time, however.
Washington has arrived and will play in its first state final four Friday in Beckley when the Patriots take on the Patriots of George Washington.
"Since it's our senior year, it's kind of a different feeling," said defender Kayde Gustavel, one of eight Washington seniors.
" It's kind of an 'ah-ha' moment, a we've-finally-done-it kind of feeling.
"It took that extra push teamwise to give our hearts on the field."
Maybe a few introductions, too.
Five freshmen and six sophomores make up half of the Patriots' 22-player roster.
Washington opened the season by losing its first two games, and the veterans might've been wondering if they would even get a chance to play in a region final.
"I think for a lot of us, it's been a long process," Kylie Nelson said. "It's been about getting closer as a team; that's really been the focus.
"We really stepped up, because we lost a lot of key players. We knew it wouldn't be as easy as in the past."
Adjustments had to be made, and teammates had to be willing to share themselves with everybody.
"This is definitely one of the best years I've had with the team," captain Katelyn Silveous said. "Everybody just clicks together. It's a lot of fun. We had some cliques. Since the sectional happened, we've all come together as one."
No. 1 - third-year starting goalkeeper Nelson - realizes it like no other. She has a vantage point unlike her teammates.
"There was an adjustment for getting used to how they play," Nelson said. "Once we adjusted and got to know them, they fit right in.
"It feels like we've been playing with them forever."
Freshman Olivia Dominiski punched in the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Elkins in the regional championship game, playing a rebound off a header from sophomore Haelly Ramirez.
The veterans and youngsters surely would like to play one extra day in Saturday's championship game.
"If we play like we've been playing, we have a real shot," Nelson said. "Anything can happen at states, regardless of records that have happened this season."
In the opposite bracket are Morgantown and Winfield, two teams that defeated Washington during the Patriots' 15-6-2 season.
"I'm so excited," Gustavel said. "I think I can say collectively for the team there's no pressure on us. It's an entire feeling of letting go. It's the end of the season either way. We're going to go out and leave everything we possibly can on the field.
"No matter the outcome, we'll still have each other memories, and the region title, we'll always have."
There's magic and excitement in something that eluded Washington's seniors the past two seasons.
At the same time, "as soon as the whistle blew (for the regional), there was a sense of calm, and everything came together at that point," Gustavel said. "I think there might be a little more nervousness, because it's the first time we've been to states, so it's a whole new experience, and a while new environment. "
The Patriots realize they are seen as the underdog in the tournament.
"I think we have the heart to pull us up against those teams and put us up there competitive-wise," Gustavel said. "If anyone says anything negative about us, we're willing to prove them wrong and put in the work."
Washington had to put in the work to produce its personality.
"I love all of my teammates," Nelson said. "We're as close as we've ever been. This really means so much for our senior year.
"All we've went through, almost making it (in the past), it's been so nice."

Chateau d'Oupia Minervois Rouge 2007
Rhone Red Blends from Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Winemaker's Notes
60% Carignan, 30% Syrah, 10% Grenache
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Iche has crafted a 2007 Minervois Tradition that smells of ripe cassis and black cherries tinged with resinous herbs and bitter fruit pit and toasted nuts, elements that all contribute to its almost silken-textured palate impression where one finds underlying richness of salted beef stock and dark chocolate. In the best manner of its vintage, we have here a combination of richness and elegance. The finish of chocolate-covered black fruits, bouillon, and herbal concentrate is not in the least superficially sweet, but instead remains possessed of real refreshment, with the cyanic note of cherry stone and tincture of iodine offering lasting, subtly bitter counterpoint. This exceptional value should be a delight over at least the next 2-3 years. "
Chateau d'Oupia Winery
André Iché inherited an impressive 13th century castle and a large estate in the barren Minervois region. Iché, now in his mid sixties and never a member of his village coop, tended his very old vines and made his wines but sold everything in bulk to local négociants. Fifteen years ago, a Burgundian winemaker happened to be in Oupia, tasted Iché's wines, and was so enthused that he convinced Iché to bottle and market his production. Since then, Iché has become an eternal twenty-year-old. He has expanded his vineyard holdings and now also vinifies several cuvées of Minervois with the best production, the Cuvée des Barons and Nobilis, aged in new oak barrels. He has rebuilt a cellar, and is now contemplating buying and cleaning up some overgrown and steep terraces that have been abandoned since the late 19th century. View all Chateau d'Oupia Wines
About Languedoc-Roussillon(LAHN-guh-dock) (ROO-see-yohn) France. The region stretches along the land above the Mediterranean, bordered by the Rhone river on the east and almost reaching Spain on the west. Only 10% of the wines from the area are AC, with the remaining wines often landing in the Vin de Pays or Vin de Table category. Wines in the Vin de Pays category are classified here as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Notable Facts80% of the wines here are red. The grapes of the neighboring Rhone region are popular, with the focus on Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and to a lesser extent, Carignan. White grapes include Rousanne, Marsanne, Clairette and other white Rhone varieties. Parts of the region are also enjoying success with international varieties like Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. For many of these international style wines, you'll see the grape variety on the label – very un-French, but since they qualify as Vin de Pays d'Oc, it's allowed. Not so for the AC wines of the region, which are relegated to using most of the regional varieties and labeling their bottles by region. Appellations in the Languedoc include Corbières, Minervois, Costières de Nimes, Banyuls and the largest of them all, Coteaux de Languedoc. Corbières and Minervois are found on the western side of the region and produce sometimes very concentrated red wines. Costières de Nimes lies just southwest of the Rhone and produces wines of comparable character. Banyuls creates decadent fortified wines with Grenache and Coteaux de Langeudoc does triple duty, using international and regional grapes to produce white, red and rose wines that are often fantastic values.
RoussillonA region located between the Spanish border and Languedoc, Roussillon is often mentioned in conjunction with Languedoc, but is an entirely separate, albeit smaller, area. Producing white, red and rose wines, Roussillon is in the Catalonia region, which bleeds into Spain and France. The area has equal amount of Spanish influence as it does French. It is most well-known for Banyuls, a potent dessert wine made from concentrated old-vine Grenache. Vines are old and planted on steep, rocky, terraced hillsides overlooking the coast. The region is also making still wines, mostly from Grenache but with a good amount of Carignan as well.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

McIlroy Congratulates Tiger Woods On Climbing Back To The Top
Category: Sports
/ Mar 27, 2013 2:26PM EDT
Rory McIlroy congratulated Tiger Woods on taking back the world's No. 1 ranking on Tuesday (March 26) via text message. "It looks like he is playing really, really well and putting really well. He has obviously won three times this year and is back to the top of the rankings. He just seems like he is in a really good place on the course, off the course. So, it is good to see," Mcllroy told reporters at the Houston open. Looking like his old imposing self, Woods completed a final-round two-under 70 for a two-shot victory over Briton Justin Rose at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday to collect his 77th career PGA Tour win and begin his 11th reign as world number one. "As he said, being No1 is a by-product of playing well and winning tournaments," McIlroy added. "Tiger has done that more than anybody else this year and if he can take care of that, then the ranking takes care of itself. It is always nice to say you are on top of the world, on top of the rankings but if you play the golf that you want to and win the tournaments that you want to, then it takes care of itself." A victory in Houston would put McIlroy back at No. 1, a spot he held for 32 weeks before Woods' latest win. Video Source: Reuters

"hey Mr. Ranger Sir, All That I Want Is A Picnic Basket -Uhm, Better Make It A Minivan." - Poem by Joe Rosochacki
The first part of the title, I often recall, that's what Yogi the Bear said the park ranger.
The human species choice of vehicle break-ins, in the USA, is the Cadillac Escalade.
But if you have a minivan and go to the national parks, you are in danger.
The minivan is vehicle of choice of the park bears.
They don't march in a parade,
-however they stealthly prey on their prey.
One should fear.
The reasons aren't entirely clear,
-says study author Stewart Breck of the National Wildlife Research Center,
but probably have something to do with the messy passengers common in minivans.
'Not all minivans had food in them, ' Breck says of his study's findings,
'but what they do have is 'microtrash'
(a certain type of prepubescent adolescent stash)
— (from) kids spilling juice and pulverizing crackers. …
(if kids can then they mostly likely they would)
A lot of these minivans smell like food, even though they don't have food in them.'
A lot of food is left on the floor and seats not in his or her tummy.
'Bears like toiletries, ' says Yosemite ranger Kari Cobb.
'Peach shampoo smells really yummy.'
So campers clean out your minivans to the tee and with no haste,
Before you travel the Yosemite and the Great Teton National Parks.
"The motivation to rip into a vehicle wafting potato-chip scent is strong.
Bears in Yosemite normally subsist on a diet of acorns, berries, grasses and herbs.
Why munch acorns when you can chow down on cookies,
-granola bars and even toothpaste?

I've had this idea constantly in the back of my head ever since I saw the animated trailer for Black and White 2, but I didn't know how to write it. But, I just wrote it and here's the product! So, this is basically the gist of the story, it follows the storyline of Black and White 2, but it adds Shadow Pokemon into the mix! Anyway, without further ado, here is the prologue!
The Battle of Light and Dark
Two people, one boy and one man, were walking up the stairs of a large, ruined tower. The man had long lime green hair under a black and grey cap, and his eyes were a piercing steel grey. He had a long necklace with a clay model of Saturn over a white t-shirt, and his pants were a pair of brown loose-fitting jeans. And finally, his shoes were green. The boy had a red cap with a black pokeball design on it over chocolate brown hair and his eyes were a warming chestnut. He was wearing a blue jacket over a black t-shirt with a black backpack. His pants were a pair of black baggy slacks, and his shoes were red slip-ons. Each of them had a belt with a Pokeball on it.
They both had grim expressions on their faces, knowing the severity of what they came here to do.
"You're sure about this, N?" the boy asked.
"Yes, Hilbert. We have to get to it before someone else does." the man, N, said.
A few moments later, they found themselves at the top of the tower. It was a large, spacious room with stained glass windows. On the end was a black and white metal chest.
N and Hilbert unclipped their Pokeballs and tossed them up into the air.
"Go! Reshiram!" Hilbert called out.
"Come on out, Zekrom!" N yelled.
In a flash of light, two dragon-like Pokemon, one white and one black, appeared. The white one looked slightly feminine with a large, heat-radiating tail, and the black one had a tail that radiated electricity.
"Reshiram, Fusion Flare!" Hilbert ordered the white dragon.
"Zekrom, Fusion Bolt!" N told the black dragon.
Both roared and let out a huge amount of electricity and fire from their mouths, aimed at the white and black chest. Surprisingly, it didn't destroy the chest. Instead, when the flames and electricity subsided, it opened to reveal a whistle with a yin-yang symbol on it.
"There it is." N stated.
"Yeah. The Dragon Whistle." Hilbert said.
Hilbert and N walked to take the whistle. However, when they got near it, it vanished!
"What?!" Hilbert yelled.
Suddenly, three men appeared near a stained glass window. Each had long white hair and soulless silver eyes. They all had on a grey and black piece of cloth that covered their mouths, a black skin-tight shirt, a pair of baggy grey pants, and black leather boots. The one in the front was holding the Dragon Whistle! They had accomplished in what they were sent her to do, but they still kept their stoic expression.
"The Shadow Triad?! What are you doing here?!" N exclaimed.
"We are here to retrieve the Dragon Whistle for Ghetis of Team Plasma." one of them said monotonously.
"But, there's no shame in using it now." another said in the exact same tone.
Before any of them could react, the one holding the Dragon Whistle blew into it. Almost immediately, Reshiram and Zekrom got a glazed look in their eyes.
"Now that your only Pokemon are under our control, you will come with us." the third of the Shadow Triad said, still in the stoic voice that they all use.
"Why? Wouldn't you be much better to us dead?" Hilbert said.
"Lord Ghetis has...other plans for you."

Dave Hemstad
Stand-up Comedian; Regular on CBC's The Debaters
Dave Hemstad? Email us Give Us a Call
Dave Hemstad has a half hour special on CTV called Comedy Now! He is a regular on the CBC's The Debaters, and has been a guest on Connect with Mark Kelly and The Strombo Show. Hemstad has over ten festival appearances- at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, at the Halifax Comedy Festival and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. He has performed on CBC Radio's Madly Off in All Directions.
Hemstad is quite simply, a comedic genius. He was even voted Best Comedian in Canada by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities. Not too shabby for a guy who only decided to be a comedian after (no joke) a bolt of lighting derailed his hopes of being a professional golfer.
Hemstad's hilarious deliveries, and ability to correctly read audience mood—adjusting his performance accordingly—make him a dream speaker or emcee for anyone looking for a light, intelligent, and clean (but not cheesy) comic. Hemstad is a fresh, hilarious comic with an incredibly bright future—preferably without more lightning strikes, of course.
When Lightning Strikes: Staying Motivated After You Quit
As a motivational humorist, Dave Hemstad is downright hilarious. He was well on his way to becoming a professional golfer when he was struck by something; lightning! He took the hint, and began his career as a professional comedian. Through his stories, Hemstad debunks traditional motivational mantras, leaving audiences with concrete, practical advice on how to navigate tough choices. With a commanding stage presence and a disarming, self-deprecating and side-splitting sense of humor, he brings tremendous value to your conference: using laughter to prove that sharing fun and positive experiences builds more cohesive, communicative, and creative teams.
In customizable talks, Hemstad shares his 3-ish keys to motivation and gives advice on how to be authentically innovative. He takes a common sense approach to life and provides practical problem solving solutions for every day problems. Hemstad shows your team how to work with what they've got. He pokes fun at other motivational speakers. This two-time Canadian Comedy Award nominee muses on modern world frustrations and the social tensions that we all experience but keep to ourselves. His quick wit, relaxed delivery, and ability to riff off crowds make him a top choice for any audience. And his ability to correctly read audience mood—and adjust his performance accordingly—makes him a dream speaker or emcee for anyone looking for a light, intelligent, and clean (but not cheesy) speaker.
Grace Hill, Inc.
Dave was WONDERFUL...everyone loved him and laughed til they cried! He was a joy to deal with. Thank you.
Hudson's Bay Company
He was fantastic! I can't say enough great things about him. Very approachable, professional and very funny. His 'Golf Ambassador for the Day' role worked out well from all accounts and his time on stage awarding prizes and making the crowd laugh was very well received. Lots of laughs! We really enjoyed having him be a part of our day.
Canadian Parking Association
Dave's brilliant ability to weave hilarity into stories that we all could relate to left my group in stitches and was the highlight of our event. I can't say enough about his talent and can't wait to see him perform again.
Brandon Area Community Foundation
I would like to thank you personally and the Lavin Agency for helping the Brandon Area Community Foundation by recommending Dave Hemstad. His comedy show was awesome. The attendants were in stitches the whole performance. For the next few days we received phone calls from people who saw him perform and they wanted to let us know how they thoroughly enjoyed the show.
The Rotary Club of Chatham
Dave was fantastic!! He was absolutely hilarious and we have had great feedback from the members. Thank you for your assistance in bringing Dave to Chatham.
Newfoundland & Labrador Oil Industries Association
He was a superstar!!! And you are too for your recommendation! Dave literally had people laughing so hard they were crying. I have a feeling a lot of people were quoting him around the various offices today. Feedback was amazing as NOIA will definitely be inviting Dave back for a future event. Dave is also a great guy. Very easy going. Our president was unfortunately unable to attend the event due to flight cancellations. Dave found out that our president was away, so he offered to call and "give him a laugh or two." The gesture was much appreciated. Thank you again for everything. You are the best!
It was great meeting you at our golf tournament. It was fun and not only are you a funny guy but also an amazing golfer. Thanks again for entertaining us yesterday at the PIPSC Open—the tournament was a huge success (we donated $35,000 to the Child Amputee Program of the War Amps) and you were an important part of it! Best wishes to you in your career.
Thanks for being an excellent host at our Gala on Saturday night. You were a huge hit!
HubCap Comedy Festival
We would like to take this moment to thank you for participation in the 9th annual HubCap Comedy Festival; your professionalism and talent were key to your success. Positive feedback from throughout the community confirms that a great time was had by all and that a strong appetite for comedy is alive and well.
CB Richard Ellis Limited
To those considering the hiring of Dave Hemstad, if you're reading this testimonial letter then there's a very good chance that you're about to get a show that you won't soon forget. Maybe a "show" isn't the right word—an "experience" seems more appropriate. Mr. Hemstad is an all-in-one performer who gifts his audience with the creative use of words and gestures to provide the perfect formula for big laughs. He offers a truly captivating stage presence whether performing for 2 people or a room of 2000.

Interest in Algerian players is high following the Desert Foxes' excellent summer showing in Brazil. The North Africans were defeated—narrowly—by Belgium but still advanced from Group H behind the Red Devils after securing four points from matches with South Korea and Russia.
Their 4-2 victory over the Koreans represented the first-ever time that an African nation had scored four goals in a World Cup match.
In their second-round match—their first-ever knockout match at a World Cup—Algeria held soon-to-be world champions Germany for 92 minutes until extra-time goals from Andre Schurrle and Mesut Ozil put the Mannschaft into the quarter-finals.
Centre-back Rafik Halliche has already secured a move abroad, signing with Qatar Sports Club, and don't be surprised to see one or two of his teammates also make big-money transfers before the window closes.
Here are five Algerian World Cup stars set to earn big moves this summer.

One of the great things about MMA is that it answers the age old question, "who is the toughest SOB around?"
While it does a great job answering that question as more and more folks realize it is the appropriate forum for doing such, there have been a ton of terrific badasses who never competed.
So who are the greatest tough guys and martial artists who never competed in MMA?
Well, how about I tell you?
These are the 25 guys who had that something special and could have been great in MMA.

A renovated landmark hotel that boasts classic San Francisco style with an updated look.
The former Huntington Hotel has reemerged in fine form as The Scarlet Huntington following a massive $15 million renovation. Now draped in a refreshed palette of sumptuous colors and textures, the hotel reflects the Nob Hill district's vibrant history while at the same time upping the standard for contemporary luxury. Behind the hotel's signature red façade, the overall vibe seamlessly blends Asian culture with modern-day San Francisco diversity to achieve a new level of hospitality. Guest rooms and suites are decked out in bold hues of pumpkin, teal and taupe, which provide contrast with the black oak furniture with antique detailing. For sustenance, The Big 4 Restaurant, led by executive chef Miguel A. Garcia, Jr., serves up a menu of internationally influenced cuisine (Morocco, rustic Italian and Asian-fusion are among his favorites), along with handcrafted classic cocktails. Meanwhile, the on-site Nob Hill Spa soothes the senses --- as well as aching muscles --- with massages, caviar facials, nail services and other pampering treatments like a seaweed leaf body ritual.

North DeSoto slips past Rayne Wolves, 15-13
By Lisa Soileaux, LSN Sports Writer
RAYNE - With a strong defensive second half and a field goal mid-way through the last quarter of play, the North DeSoto Griffins pulled ahead of the Rayne High Wolves, 15-13, in the first round of the 4-A state football playoffs.
"You have to give it to them, this is a good ball club," stated Rayne High Head Coach Curt Ware of North DeSoto. "They controlled the ball on offense and held strong on defense. When you do that, you win ball games."
The Griffins limited Rayne High to 138 offensive yards on the night, with the Wolves only able to produce four first downs in the close contest.
The Wolves were the first team to light up the scoreboard mid-way through the first quarter of play. Picking up excellent field position, compliments of a blocked punt near midfield, the Wolves need only two plays, a six-yard gainer by Trent Duhon and a 17-yard touchdown run by Javon Cormier, for their first score of the night. The extra point by Ty Delahoussaye placed Rayne up 7-0 heading into the second quarter of play.
The Griffins chipped away with short bursts as they answered in the second quarter with a 75-yard drive, ending on a touchdown run by back Deone Thomas. The extra point was wide and the Wolves held a slim 7-6 lead.
But, Austin Barnes made up with a 28-yard fieldgoal for the Griffins as the first half of play wound down with a 9-6 North DeSoto lead.
Long, time-consuming drives continued to eat up the clock for the Griffins and wear down the Rayne High defense in the second half of the ballgame.
The Wolves held the Griffins to another Barnes fieldgoal midway through the third quarter, extending the North Desoto lead, 12-7.
The Wolves answered with a long drive of their own, a combined 80-yard effort by Trent Duhon and Javon Cormier, completed with a break-away 62-yard TD run by Cormier for the score. Rayne tried to shrink the gap with a two-point conversion, but a pass from Tyler LeJeune and Jaylen Reed was broken up by a Griffin defender, leaving Rayne with a slight 13-12 lead heading into the last quarter of play.
The only score of the final stanza came once again on the foot of Barnes who booted his third field goal of the contest, placing the Giffins ahead 15-13 for the eventual finale.
"When you think how close this game was," continues Ware of the bi-district loss, "it could have gone either way. With a couple more possessions, we could have pulled the win out -- but, it just didn't fall that way."
Time didn't fall on the side of the Wolves as they were limited to only 9:59 time of possession compared the North DeSoto's 38.01 total, keeping the Rayne defense on the field for an extended amount of time.
Leading the Rayne defense was Christian Hodges with 13 tackles and 6 assists, followed closely by TJ Bearb and Andrew Broussard each with 10 tackles and 5 assists.
Completing the defensive leaders were Grant Menard and Nicky Faucheaux with 7 tackles each, Donavon Cormier with 4.5, Jonathan Dugas and Desmond Cole each with 3.5, and Jaquan Cormeir and Brice with 3 each.
The Rayne offense was kept on the ground, led by Javon Cormier with 117 yards on 8 carries, and Trent Duhon with 22 yards on 7 carries.
LeJeune was limited to one completion to Duhon on the night.
North DeSoto was able to rack up 344 offensive yards, 239 on the ground and 105 in the air for the win.
"I'm proud of our guys," concluded Ware of the 2013 season. "When you take a team that lost so many starters from last year and produce an 8-2 season and get into the playoffs with a home game, you have to commend our guys on a good season"

Company designs aisle seat that moves to ease boarding
An airline seat that shifts to make boarding easier sounds like a crazy idea, but don't be surprised to find it on your next flight.
The "side-slip seat" is a concept by Molon Labe Designs, a Denver airline interior company that introduced the idea for the first time to airlines and manufacturers recently at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
The president of the company said the seat design was a big hit at the expo.
Here's how it works: Imagine a row of three seats on a plane. The seat along the aisle will slide up and over the middle seat to widen the aisle and speed up the loading of passengers. Once the passengers are ready to sit down, the aisle seat can slide and lock back into place.
Once the seat is certified for use by the U.S. Department of Transportation and ready for production, don't be surprised if several low-cost airlines order and install the seat, Molon Labe founder Hank Scott said after the expo.
"I can honestly say now that this seat, flying with short-haul and low-cost carriers, is not a matter of if but when," he said.
Tripzaar.com connects travelers with local guides for adventure
If Couchsurfing.com, which connects travelers looking for a place to stay with those offering to share their home, and Viator.com, which finds and books tours and travel experiences, had a baby, Tripzaar.com would be their bright and smiley first-born.
The website is an online database of friendly hosts who want to give travelers a local's tour of their town, for a price.
View and book a trip itinerary complete with a local resident guide before you step off the plane. Adventure levels vary.
Itineraries tend to be well thought out and more complex than a general four-hour tour with a local guide, such as a seven-night surfing trip in Costa Rica ($1,675) that included accommodations, daily surf lessons, two yoga sessions, breakfast, airport transfers, as well as two adventure tours to local waterfalls and an off-road Jeep tour.

2010 Ford F-150 SuperCab FX4 4dr SuperCab 4WD Styleside 6.5 ft. SB (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Had a Transit Connect for a while this year, and decided to trade it for the 2010 FX4 F150. Was a great move I think. The FX4 thus far impresses me as a very smooth ride. Barely touch the gas and this truck moves. Once in a while you get a little wheel hop in the back, but it's not felt up front by the driver. I like the styling and lines of the new F150. The box is the right size. Interior is plenty spacious for the single guy, although I do like the back floor space way better in the Super Crew. Love using all the features like Sunroof, power slider window, leather seats(seem durable although probably not the richest hides), + more. I think the 10 FX4 holds its own against any full size truck.
Wow. You can see over almost anything on the road and see for miles. Great value when loaded with options compared to a few of the pricier models in the F150 lineup (like the Harley version). Capable hauling or pulling just about anything.
Design it more after the Harley versions. I like those and the interior materials way best. I opted for no navigation which I think is vastly overpriced and could be obsolete in a few years anyway. Plus I did not want to have to use a touchscreen while driving. Use a portable navigation if needed.
Only have about 250 miles on this so far, but love it. I got this to replace my 2005 Taco. The interior layout is almost exactly like my old truck, but with more horsepower, more room, more bells/whistles and more creature comforts. I want to get the engine broken in before I report any actual mileage.
Leather (heated) power bucket seats! SYNC, 5.4L V-8 for towing capacity.
None at this time.
