Why We're the Best!
When I first started in 1980, I was the only local company leading kayak expeditions in the San Juans. Today there are a lot of outfitters out there.
I think it all boils down to this: Mine is a small, local company and the oldest, most experienced sea kayaking outfitter in the San Juan Islands! By keeping my company small, I can hand-pick incredible guides and insure quality equipment and service. I train each of my staff using the knowledge and experience I gained over more than 36 years of leading three and four day expeditions in the islands. You won't find that anywhere else!
My expeditions are a culmination of all I have learned over the past thirty-seven years of living and paddling in the San Juan Islands, and they continue to evolve as I inquire, observe and learn each season. The very fact that my company has been leading safe and educational kayak tours in the San Juan Islands for so many years is unique to the entire sea kayaking industry! These trips attract fun, well-rounded folks with diverse backgrounds, can-do attitudes and a love of adventure. My guide's perfect safety record is a result of experienced, professional leadership and quality equipment. Our attention to detail and trip planning is unequaled anywhere else! Our sea kayaking expeditions minimize our footprint on the island environment.
Our knowledge of this small corner of the world allows us to provide you with the best that the San Juan Islands have to give! Our commitment to offer you a high quality sea kayaking experience is taken seriously. We dedicate ourselves to and work hard toward that goal each year!
Here are some solid reasons why you should choose San Juan Kayak Expeditions for your day, multi-day or rental sea kayaking adventure!
We are a local company. We have lived and kayaked in these islands for thirty-seven years! Owner Tim Thomsen has guided multi-day sea kayaking tours in the San Juan Islands for thirty-four years, has led over 475 expeditions throughout these islands and has logged more than 16,000 miles paddling in the San Juans. No other company's owner can offer you that kind of experience. If you paddle with us, you'll be paddling in our backyard. In a place where the tides can change up to thirteen vertical feet in one six hour period and the winds are unpredictable, our professional guides have the training, knowledge, experience and judgement to insure a safe, fulfilling and educational multi-day sea kayak journey."We wanted to drop you a line to say THANKS. We had a great time. The weather, food and the people really made this a trip to remember. I am sure you hear this all the time, but your sense of humor and your knowledge of the area are what make your trips so enjoyable. I will be in contact with you as we get closer to September to book our next trip. I have quite a few friends who will love to join us next year. Thanks again" Rick and Jeanne Thompson
Scandia, MN
Our unprecedented safety record is a reflection of our experience, judgement, quality equipment and observational skills. Our record stands alone. We carry all safety equipment(flares, GPS, chart, VHF radio, cell phone, first aid kit, etc.)."Thanks for making this an extraordinary experience for all of us…from start to finish." Mark Epley Portland, OR
We use only new, state-of-the-art, two-person, rudder-controlled sea kayaks(Seascape II by Northwest Kayaks), lightweight fiberglass paddles(Camano by Werner Paddles), top quality, comfortable and dry spray skirts(Snap Dragon Designs)and comfortable life jackets(Sabre by Extrasport). We also supply you with a Therma-Rest inflatable seat cushion while paddling, cockpit covers to keep things dry inside your kayak at night, new two-person tents and, just in case, a quality rain tarp, plus light-weight nylon hammocks for our comfort in camp. Each year we buy new kayaks with new paddles for our expedition fleet. Our kayaks will handle adverse conditions safely.
We take pride that our equipment is the best out there, and so will you!!
We are a sea kayaking outfitter. We do not offer bike/kayak tours, inn to inn tours, wine tasting trips, zip line excursions, etc. For thirty-five years, we have offered only quality sea kayaking/camping adventures in the San Juan Islands. We concentrate on one thing: giving you the best sea kayaking experience possible!"I'm on my way home from Seattle this morning. I just wanted to say thanks for all you did for us. The trip was safe, fun, varied, challenging, delicious, relaxing, informative and beautiful. All the best to you." Christin Arnini Bethany, CT
The small size and professional nature of our company mean we can give you the personal attention necessary to make your kayak experience a positive one. Owners Tim and Sally answer your e-mail and telephone inquiries personally.
Yes, laughter is an important aspect of our trips that sets them apart. Perhaps it is the nature of our website, the clients who come to us via word-of-mouth or just our bubbly personalities that attract fun people, but everyone just seems to bring along a sense of humor. Our trips are full of variety: relaxing, action-packed and totally fun. Possibly the sorest part of your body after paddling two, three or four days with us just may be your cheeks (facial, that is)."We came, we paddled, we laughed, we conquered. Thanks,Tim for our sixth great trip. They just keep getting better. Just wish we could have won a game of horseshoes." Craig and Ryan Britt West Seattle, WA
Our Two-Day Whale Sanctuary, Three-Day Coastal Explorer and Four-Day Islands Adventurer expeditions spend a final night camped on the edge of orca whale country and spend two days (Whale Sanctuary) or one and a half days exploring prime orca habitat. This gives you the best odds possible of encountering orcas in the wild. Viewing "killer whales" from a kayak is one of the most exciting wildlife experiences you will ever have. Our thirty-plus years of whale watching experience will put you in a front row seat! The five-day "Ultimate" traverses channels and bays frequently inhabited by humpback, minke and orca whales. Our Whales Ho! Half Day tour and our Whales Ho! Full Day tour take you to the heart of orca country, and, with a little luck, you will paddle with whales! We launch from San Juan County Park on San Juan Island's west side where orca pods hunt salmon. Let's go whale watching!
"I just wanted to drop you a line to make sure you know how special our trip in the San Juans with you was! I had so many amazing moments – it has been very inspiring, and it is mostly due to your positive energy and enthusiasm for what you do – it is absolutely contagious! Thank you for leading us all in an experience that I'm sure we will all remember dearly for the rest of our lives!"Emily La Shorne Brooklyn, NY
We have devised and patented a safe, lightweight and easy to use spinnaker complete with a forward viewing window that allows each kayak to sail with the wind at exciting speeds only on our guided, multi-day trips. Anyone can sail. You will receive professional instruction on how to safely and efficiently use the wind to propel your double kayak through the sea. Our patented sailing system is no gimmick and definitely raises our expeditions to an exciting new level of adventure. No other outfitter offers this unique alternative to paddling. It's a total rush and makes kayaking a breeze (pun intended).
"Sailing totally blew us away. HAR. HAR. The sound of the sea rushing under our kayak as we crossed effortlessly to Speiden Island at 7 knots made us realize that we were unique and awesome adventurers. Thanks Tim for an experience of a lifetime."Mike and Krishna Smith Portland, OR
Our two-day Whale Sanctuary and Orca Quest overnighters, our three-day Coastal Explorer and four-day Islands Adventurer trips spend a final night camped on the edge of orca whale habitat on an island reserved exclusively for San Juan Kayak Expeditions. This small, island jewel will be ours for a night. Our The "Ultimate" 5 – day adventure takes you to some of the most remote and spectacular campsites in the San Juan Islands. Enjoy.
Every evening of each trip we enjoy a leisurely sunset paddle or hike and often an evening bioluminescent paddle. These special moments are always a highlight of our expeditions. Looking west into Canada from our elevated mossy bluff or from our floating kayaks, the serenity is palpable. As we enjoy the magic of the day's last light, seals and porpoise feed around us while sea birds make their daily evening flights to their roosting sites. As night falls, our seclusion is complete. Upon our return to camp in the dusk, let's light the campfire and share a few tales of our travels.
After dark on calm evenings, the night-owl in us comes out as we paddle our kayaks through bursts of neon green bioluminescent seas. This spectacle of nature will be just another part of your experience you will never forget!"I wanted to send you a brief thank you note. Kathy and I had a great time on our trip with you – it was over much too quickly -and we are having fun recounting our experiences to family, friends and co-workers. We particularly enjoyed the short hikes and the sunsets and your sharing of your knowledge about the area and the things we were seeing. We will be back for another whale encounter. Thanks." Al Raymond
Minneapolis, MN "Thanks for a fabulous trip. What a great way to see a beautiful part of the world." Terri Furman Broomfield, CO
I have called these islands home since 1978, and I feel that they and local wildlife are worth protecting. For this reason, our expeditions emphasize low-impact camping. Only by treating each beach, each campsite, each hiking trail and each creature with care and respect can we justify our passage. Our groups average six to eight and NEVER exceed twelve people. We leave each campsite cleaner than when we arrived. Evening fires use beach driftwood only and are kept small. We are not affiliated with motorized, whale-watch tour companies, as these "stink pots" are extremely polluting and have a very high, negative impact on orca quality of life and marine life in general. We call upon all motorized,whale watch tour companies (both US and Canadian) to immediately halt the illegal, greedy, destructive, relentless pursuit of our local orca pods. We do not use motorized support boats. Please be wary of kayak companies that promote power boat shuttles or "Mothership" tours. This really goes against the grain of what sea kayaking is all about and greatly adds to the noise, air and water pollution of the San Juan Islands. Don't be a part of the problem. As a self-appointed steward of these islands, we paddle to the Kayak Education & Leadership Program (K.E.L.P.) code to help protect marine wildlife. Upon conclusion of each trip, participants are proud, not only of what they have accomplished together, but also of what little trace we have left behind from our voyage.
Are you bringing clothes, gear or luggage that you don't need for the kayak trip? You may leave them in our van for the duration. Your stuff will be stored in our secure shop and will be waiting for you at our landing site.
Because we are a small operation, we are able to keep our prices low without sacrificing service, quality of equipment and professionalism. We run a well organized yet simple operation honed by experience, and that means a positive experience for you at an affordable rate.

There are those NFL teams that have bright futures ahead; the Lions, Buccaneers, Rams and Chiefs all fall into that category.
But there are teams that, based on the players they have today, can not only get to the Super Bowl this season, but are legitimate contenders for years to come.
The idea of teams with the biggest Super Bowl windows is a fleeting topic because a lot depends on the development of young talent, the deterioration of veterans and the acquisitions of key components.
So, as it stands right now, here is a group of nine franchises ripe for success with a chance to reach the sport's biggest game in the upcoming seasons.

The 2011 season has been a special one for rookies. We've seen rookies break records, revive dead franchises and already look like Pro Bowlers. This is particularly amazing when you take into account how little time they had with the lockout.
Many of the rookies we've seen succeed in the league this year are rookies that came out of nowhere. Rookies we never could have guessed would succeed.
Here are the top 10 rookie phenoms we never saw coming this year.

What a difference a censored bleep makes.
It was time for Jimmy Kimmel Live to feature their weekly installment of "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship."
What follows is another hilarious piece of evidence that the beep and blur of censorship that is in place to shield us all from the naughty can also be used for evil.
Sports fans will get a kick out of two glorious moments.
At the 24-second mark, a Miami reporter illustrates white towel Heat fans get as they take their seats for a finals game.
Of course, it comes out as, "these (censored) little towels."
It adds a great deal of gravitas to mere towels that become amazing and necessary items of fandom with but one bleep.
We then come to the tenuous actions of a trainer upon LeBron James as he tries to get past a badly cramping leg.
There is nothing off-putting going on, until you blur a certain area. That's the moment an innocent tending to of a superstar turns quite, um, yeah.
The rest of the video is pure gold for the immature humor aficionado in all of us. I guess this would be NSFW, but you would have to bleep your own sick mind and the added censorship for that issue.
Follow me on Twitter because I said so.

Authors get paid in the form of royalties to write books. These book royalties can be confusing if the math behind them isn't understood. It is safe to say that although authors may earn a fair wage from advances and royalties, it is the publisher that assumes all of the risk associated with the book. If the book doesn't sell, then no royalties will be generated.
Things You'll Need
- Price of book
- Royalty percentage
- Number of books sold
Determine the price of the book. Standard paperback books sell for around $7.95. Trade paperbacks sell for about $14.95. Hardcover books are pricier, coming in around $21.95.
Figure the number of sales. This should be the anticipated sales, if the book is still unpublished, or the actual number of books sold if it is on the shelves.
Apply the royalty percentage. A generous amount would be 8 percent, but 6 percent is closer to the standard for new writers. Regardless, the royalty percentage will be listed in the author contract.
Use a formula to calculate the royalties. Multiply the royalty percentage by the price of the book. Then multiply that amount by the number of books sold. For example: 6 percent royalty x $7.95 price = $0.48 x 10,000 sold = $4,800 royalties earned.
Subtract any advances from the calculated royalties. The advance is generally paid to the author before the book is published and is held against the royalties. If royalties accumulate above the amount of the advance, they are paid to the author. If the royalties do not exceed the advance, the author receives no more payment.

My story.
I was with my partner for only a few months when I got pregnant. At first we were really excited but then after he spoke to his Mum, it all changed. If I'm honest, it was for the best because he drank a lot and we were both young. It still hurt though when he mentioned having an abortion. I couldn't understand why he didn't want our baby....... I let him talk me round though and so I went through with it. This was 6 years ago now and I still think about it!
How do you stop yourself feeling guilty? It's so tough

While some of us could look at the beautiful fall colors for hours on end, don't worry – there are plenty of other things going on in autumn, too! Fall is when we have all kinds of running events, from the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail Harvest Stompede and the Sleeping Bear Marathon to the Zombie Run, and when hard-core mountain bikers flock to the Iceman Cometh Challenge, the biggest one-day point to point cycling race in America! In November there's the Great Macaroni & Cheese Bake-Off at the Wineries of the Old Mission Peninsula and Traverse City Beer Week, a seven-day salute to our local craft brewing industry with lots of tastings, food pairing dinners and workshops.

Biodiversity hotspots and their threats identified
Spring 2016
TERN data and infrastructure have been used to map South Australia's biodiversity hotspots, identify their climate change sensitivity, and ultimately inform priorities and strategies for conservation management.
Nature's Scientific Data journal recommends TERN's ÆKOS data portal
Winter 2016
ÆKOS Data Stories
Winter 2016
To showcase the diversity of TERN's end-user community, we continue to profile our users and, in this case, explore how Eco-Informatics' data infrastructure is helping them work more collaboratively, efficiently and effectively. Come and meet some of them now:
The Eco-informatics Facility has cyber-infrastructure experts working with governments, researchers, educators and students to make ecological "plot" data (including quadrats, transects, pitfall traplines, cage trap arrays, and other systematic collection methods) discoverable and freely accessible.
Making data discoverable and accessible at the finest level of detail available, together with extra information about the context of data collection, opens up vast new opportunities for assessing re-purpose and enabling informed re-use of data. In doing this, the Australian ecosystem science community is able to achieve greater returns on the investment in data collection and also use the wealth of data available to address national challenges in ecology.
A key product from the Eco-Informatics Facility is the Advanced Ecological Knowledge and Observation System (ÆKOS), a 'one stop shop' for ecological plot data comprising a data repository, web data portal and web services enabling data users to store, discover, access and understand the context of the data in detail. More information is available at the Eco-informatics website.
ÆKOS Data Stories
Come and meet just a few of the many Eco-Informatics users and explore how the ÆKOS data infrastructure is helping TERN's end-user community work more collaboratively, efficiently and effectively.
Some of Eco-Informatics' other products and services include:
- A national information framework (including standards) for managing ecological data by using ontologies, index traits and description models.
- A long term network of key data partners from government agencies and research organisations for sharing and delivering Australia's rich ecological plot data.
- The Submission, Harmonisation and Retrieval of Ecological Data (SHaRED) tool to provide researcher data submission that meets the needs of researchers like those participating in TERN's Multi-Scale Plot Network.
- The Soils-to-Satellite integrated web data portal with other National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy capabilities including the Atlas of Living Australia combining spatial, multi-spectral, ecological plot and genomics data.
- Metadata for Australia's ecological plot data in a format used by the Australian National Data Service (RIF-CS) that will be accessible via TERN's central Data Discovery Portal.
- Collaboration through attribution, citation and acknowledgement of all researchers publishing data in ÆKOS.
- An online library of all the ecological data collection methods used for data stored in ÆKOS.
- Access to IP through open source publication of software and models.
- Practical application of the TERN Data Licensing Policy to support and encourage Open Access.

According to a survey from Spiceworks, 70% of IT professionals are using cloud-based web hosting applications, with 60% using cloud-based security and 30% backup applications.
The most common cloud-based security application is anti-spam, with 41% of respondents currently using one and another 3% planning to do so in the next six months. A total of 22% are using cloud based antivirus software with an additional 4% planning to do so within six months.
The benefits of putting security in the cloud were: no special hardware to maintain (76%); automatic software updates (63%); ease of management (63%); low set-up costs (41%); and combines multiple measures in one (35%).
Cloud-based backup will be taken up by an additional 13% in the next six months, said the survey. It also found that 19% of respondents plan to back-up 100% of data online. A third of respondents (33%) said they will store 1TB or more of data in the cloud.
Read more on cloud adoption:
The main concerns with using cloud backup are: heavy bandwidth requirement (59%); risk of data loss/security breach (48%); not cost effective (46%); lack of control over infrastructure (42%); and risk of service outage or service degradation (33%).
"The challenge of maintaining specialised hardware and software is clearly driving IT professionals to cloud-based IT applications," said Kathryn Pribish, Voice of IT programme manager at Spiceworks.
"Vendors who can deliver the capabilities of traditional hardware/software solutions in a cost effective manner have a great opportunity to address the needs of IT professionals."

In 6 days, we open the doors on the new USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia - the first of its kind.
But this is more than just a new USO center. This is a symbol of America's commitment to our wounded troops and their families. It's an opportunity for all of us to let our troops know we're right there with them.
The most effective and efficient way you can do that is by becoming a USO Proud Patriot. Your monthly pledge will be a clear sign to our troops that you'll be there for them every day.
Become a USO Proud Patriot with a monthly pledge of $10, $15 or more and we'll send you an exclusive USO tote bag.
As a USO Proud Patriot, you'll be playing a pivotal role in delivering support to our troops.
This special group of supporters gives us the resources to do more for our troops – more free calls home, more care packages to the frontlines, and more care for our wounded, ill and injured troops at the new USO Warrior and Family Center.
And once you make the decision to become a USO Proud Patriot, we'll immediately send you an exclusive USO tote bag to show our appreciation.
Take a strong stand for our troops. Make a monthly pledge of $10, $15 or more.
This new center is an important step for us here at the USO. It's a chance for us to renew our commitment to our wounded troops and their families, and to show them we'll be by their side every day. I hope you join us in sharing this excitement by becoming a USO Proud Patriot today.
Thanks for all you do,
Sloan Gibson USO President and CEO

Correct, I've misguided you. Graphic engine is just small dumb module of the engine (other modules are: physic engine, terminal engine, scripting engine, input engine, sound engine, network engine, etc).
All these sub-engines are controlled by Master Engine that has complete control over the powerful data-structure. Master engine is actually the only one that understands the data-structure.
Every sub-engine has access to scripting engine (which runs scripts in parallel) so terminal engine (used for Main Menu, HUD, virtual in-game 3d computers, road sings,...) can sometimes do something to the graphic engine (set some render special render variable)...
Also, scripting engine has access to all other engines: so if I want to draw some windows application withing my virtual 3d computer, I would do something like this:
Ah, that explains a lot. While I think it's a nice idea, and as being a developer it definately feels close to heart, "wanting to do everything". My personal experiences and "maturing" have really come to lead me on a different path entirely, I long held firm to the idea that "more = better" and that code should almost be treated as something holy, perfecting it over and over. This is all debatable and different situations require different approaches of course.
"The inner-platform effect is the tendency of software architects to create a system so customizable as to become a replica, and often a poor replica, of the software development platform they are using. This is generally inefficient and such systems are often considered to be examples of an anti-pattern."
Is something I've become acutely aware of, looking back I've realized that, often rather than solving the problem once, it was easy to fall into this pattern of first creating a "class" that was really flexible and could do a lot more than I actually needed (but my brain said, "you might!"), and then create another tailored "class" that would expose a much simpler interface to the first class. And in the end, the first class was never perfect, it was never fully implemented, there were flaws and it made certain optimizations very hard... which made me never want to reuse it as-is in another project anyway, I would copy-paste it and refactor it simply because it made more sense.
To me it seems like you've something so generic that it doesn't really provide anything other than what a handful of 3D API utility classes could mostly solve (or you have indeed introduced lots of limitations). Instead you have now artifically limited what is practically possible, but not theoretically (and developers are bound to your framework)... it's hard to put into words, but consider instancing, something that is hugely important in SOME games and often easy to achieve, how do you facilitate that for all situations across completely generic "sub-engines" without making a mess. Another common side-effect is that "hard stuff becomes easier" and "simple stuff becomes slower". The generic nature means that you can rarely assume anything about anything, hence, a lot of optimizations goes out the window... performance is about cheating and shortcuts.
From my limited experience, these kinds of APIs often provide beautifully simple example code, but horribly degrade in practice when all the special-cases and quirks start to appear (and you have to start worrying about performance)... you start to slowly circumvent the API in order to provide functionality and optimizations the API is unable to provide. And suddenly it has all degraded into a worse spaghetti-hell than the you were trying to avoid.
What I'm saying is, it seems to me that either you've made something so insanely generic and non-invasive that it could only possibly be a bunch of utility classes (which might not be a bad thing), or you have introduced an unknown number of limitations and pitfalls, and this is pretty much "the law". You cannot solve all problems with one solution, it is quite impossible, the larger you make the problem, the more convoluted solution you get... if you solve all problems with one solution, then you are back to where you started (inner-platform effect).
To avoid misunderstanding, I'm not hating on your engine, it's probably a very very neat thing you've made.
I just find that it can be very insightful to discuss various topics at times and there's no point being tippy-toes about opinions.

16 Items Found
A delicious and fun Ruby port made from younger vines of Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca and aged 3 years in big wooden wine vats called "balseiros". Fresh and fruit-filled with generous notes of crushed raspberry, blackberry, and sweet licorice and dark chocolate. Very juicy and fresh, and perhaps too easy to drink by itself. But, try it with Stilton, nuts, or chocolate cake - Yum!
- Rozes Porto White Reserve NV Product #25066 (In Stock)
First, yes - this is a full 750ml bottle! It's also a fascinating take on white Port. Because the white wine aged in wood for 8 years, this drinks like a fantastically vibrant, youthful, tawney Port. Full of dried apricot and raisin fruit and lightly caramelized walnut and almond flavors, it's lightly sweet and super long on the palate. Delicous!
- Butler Nephew & Co Tawny Port Finest Reserve Nv Product #30430 (In Stock)
Here's a rock-solid, wood-aged, tawny port that gives many 10 year (and some 20 year!) tawny's a run for their money! Lots of spice to go with the cherry and wild berry fruit and accents of toasted nut and caramel. Cinnamon and a bit of wild herb add complexity on the mellow finish. A nice value.
- Maynard's Port Tawny 20 Year Product #30550 (In Stock)
A great example of what is perhaps the most classic style of "wood aged" or "Tawny" Port. Winemaker Alvaro van Zeller, formerly winemaker at Quinta do Noval, blends this from Port lots that have aged in barrel about 20 years on average. Plenty of richness and depth here but also a lively note of burnt orange peel and even a touch of fresh red berry. A delicious value!
"Maynard's is a brand from Alvaro van Zeller of Barão de Vilar. This 20-year-old is lush in its sweetness, with candied orange peel scents and ripe strawberry flavors that evaporate into a warm finish, lasting on scents of glazed chestnuts. A simple and delicious Tawny."Wine & Spirits 90 points
"The 20 Years Old Tawny Port (Maynard's) comes in at 109 grams per liter of residual sugar. A nice step up on the 10 Year Old Maynard's, also reviewed, this adds some weight, but more importantly, concentration of flavor--those old, classic Tawny nuances. Very pleasing, yet easy to drink, this is a charming 20 that should be available at a nice price."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Dow's 10 Year Tawny Port Product #7247 (In Stock)
Dow's winemakers pick lots every vintage to go into the Tawny Port program. The finished Port goes into large barrels and ages slowly, gradually acquiring a nutty, caramel, character and gaining an orangey/tawny color. Dow's 10-Year Tawny is made from a blend of these ports that are average approximately 10 years of age - although the "10-Year" designation indicates style more than actual wine age. Dow's 10-Year Tawny is a classic - orange peel, caramel, honey, nuts, and dried fig flavors swirl around a hint of red berry fruit. Once again, the classic Dow dry finish keeps the wine refreshing.
- Quinta Dona Matilde Port Vintage 2011 Product #27907 (In Stock)
The Barros family knows a thing or two about Vintage Port, with family founder Manoel Moreira de Barros starting the top-notch Barros estate in the early 1900s. Quinta Dona Matilde was already highly respected when Barros acquired it in 1925, although it was equally famous for being one of the most difficult to farm vineyards in the Douro Valley. Dona Matilde passed out of the family with the sale of the entire Barros group in 2006, but less than a year later Manoel Moreira's grandson, Manuel Angelo Barros, was able to buy it back and return the Barros family to the Port and fine wine business.
Many of you have loved the family's 2007 Vintage Port when we've offered it in the past, but importer Jonas Gustafsson and Filippe Barros agree with me that the 2011 is a substantial step up in quality and sophistication. The wine opens with lovely aromas of dried blackcurrant and raisin with a touch of leafy tobacco, wet stone minerality, and vanilla spice. The aromas carry through on the rich palate where nutty, spicy, undertones emerge and the sense of minerality gets stronger. As you'd hope for in a young Vintage Port, there's very nice grip to the firm tannins and plenty of juicy, refreshing, acids to keep everything fresh and focused. The chewy tannins don't get in the way of the long finish where the minerality and spice notes really shine. Try this now with walnuts and Stilton cheese or cellar it for as long as you'd like to.
- Quinta Dona Matilde Porto Colheita 2004 Product #27905 (In Stock)
The Barros family made their name in the Deuro during the 20th Century before selling the brand and focusing their energies on dry wines at Quinta Dona Matilde. But, Filippe Barros and family aren't quite ready to give up Port just yet, and they've tapped their broad range of contacts to create this brilliant 9 year-old beauty.
A lovely amber color with shimmering gold and rose highlights. Big, lush, aromas of caramelized nuts, toffee, orange peel, and dried fruits lead to deep flavors of more toffee, toasted pecan, blood orange, dried redcurrant, and more. Although it's richly textured and weighty, a beam of brilliant acidity runs through the wine, giving freshness and a dry, very lightly tannic, finish. This will thrill any fan of 10 year Tawny Port, matching that style's freshness and fruit character and adding on more subtlety and complexity.
- Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2009 375 Ml Product #24683 (In Stock)
Usually my personal favorite of the line-up (although 2007 Fonseca is pretty impressive!), the 2009 Taylor Fladgate delivers the Bordeaux-like elegance and class it's known for. On the nose black fruit with notes of raspberry and plum and hints of graphite and cedar. The flavors stay black with currant and cherry appearing plus dark licorice root, apple skin, and more graphite. The deep flavors stay over top of the firm, grippy, mouth-coating tannins that keep everything focused and almost elegant (if such a big wine can be elegant). Love it.
"Going back and forth, the Taylor's 2009 has a lighter nose than the 2007 with precise dark cherry, Seville orange, fresh fig and a hint of scorched soil. The palate is full-bodied packed with ripe black cherries, fresh fig and white pepper; very harmonious and focused although I feel that the 2007 has a little more depth and persistency. Very pretty and very pure, this Taylor's may well put on weight with a couple of years in bottle and merit a higher mark."Wine Advocate 95 points
- Fonseca Vintage Port 2009 375 Ml Product #24682 (In Stock)
If Croft is the Aussie Shiraz of the line, then Fonseca is the Napa Cabernet. The story here is all about power - powerful aromatics, powerful palate, powerful tannins. Big aromas feature dark black currant and plum accented by notes of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee with citrus and menthol overtones. In the mouth, firm and packed with muscular black fruit, dark chocolate, and licorice root flavors. As the velvet cloaked tannins well up on the finish, a beautiful floral note emerges as well. This probably isn't as fine as the 2007, but it's outstanding nonetheless!
"The Fonseca 2009 has a very ripe sweet prune and fig-tinged bouquet that is very precocious. Touches of smoke, raisin and dark plum begin to emerge with time, though it needs to evolve a little more cohesion. The palate is full-bodied with saturated tannins, luscious dark berried fruit, touches of pomegranate, fig and dates that lead to a gently grippy, persistent finish."Wine Advocate 93 points
- Quinta Do Noval Vintage Port 2011 Product #27566 (In Stock)
Beautiful stuff to cellar, but hard to resist right now.
"Deep, saturated ruby. Tight, high-pitched aromas of black fruits, minerals, spices, printer's ink and licorice, complicated by nutty and earthy nuances. Juicy, savory and youthfully imploded; not hugely opulent or sweet but a wine of great density and class, showing a pliant texture and no rough edges. This seemed even more intense after I swallowed it, showing a palate-drenching quality with no weightiness. Doesn't have quite the dimension or floral complexity of the Nacional but a wine of great finesse, and built for decades of life."International Wine Cellar 96 points
"The 2011 Quinta do Noval has wonderful precision on the nose with blackberry, cassis, intriguing flinty notes and a whiff of smoke. It might not possess the power of the Nacional but it has freshness to spare. That comes through on the beautifully composed palate, which is underpinned by fine tannins that lend it a silky smooth mouthfeel. There is real intensity here, but it is very controlled with superb minerality on the finish. Excellent."Wine Advocate 94-96 points
- Quinta Dona Matilde Porto Colheita 1982 Product #27906 (In Stock)
You've only got a little while to grab some of this stunning, 30 year-old Port, because there are only 2 cases to go around – and it's taking all of my willpower not to take it all home myself! A Tawny-style port, all from the 1982 vintage, that aged in barrel until being bottled in late 2013. The dominant theme here is caramel coated walnut with variations ranging from candied orange peel to crystalized rose petal, sugar-dusted dried currant, rich toffee, sweet spice and more. Every sip rings in a new tune. Even with all the richness, this glides across your palate weightlessly and the sweet, nutty, finish clings in your mouth endlessly. Amazing wine to share (or hoard for yourself!).
- Grahams Vintage 2011 Port Product #27202 (In Stock)
A classic and classy Port with good structure and plenty of length. A bit more sophisticated than Dow if not quite as powerful.
"The 2011 Graham's comes from the five quintas that have been the source for many years (Malvedos, Tua, Vila Velha, das Lages and Vale de Malhadas). It represents a selection of the 131 pipes from a total production of 1,454 and is a blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 31% Touriga Franca, 6% Sousao and 23% mixture of very old vines. It has a more "serious" bouquet compared to the Dow, with beguiling scents of blackberry, wild hedgerow, tobacco and cloves. Straight-laced, very well-defined and compelling, the palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and supremely well-judged acidity. It is utterly harmonious, with a pure core of ripe black cherries, damson, marmalade, clove and spices, and the finish lingers long in the mouth."Wine Advocate 95-97 points
"Offers a decadently fruity aroma, with peppery accents to the cherry, raspberry and dark currant flavors that are lithe and juicy. Grippy tannins grace the mocha- and chocolate-infused finish. Best from 2025 through 2055."Wine Spectator 96 points
- Maynard's Port Colheita 1962 Product #30546 (In Stock)
After declaring 1960 a vintage year and knowing that 1963 would be a general declaration, too, most Port houses did not make vintage Port in 1962. This single-vintage tawny benefits, delivering masses of dried fruit, chocolate, toffee, spice, and toasted nut aromas and flavors. Coats your palate with a big, rich, texture, and leaves caramel, chocolate, and nut flavors lingering.
- Maynard's Port Colheita 1950 Product #30547 (In Stock)
Sometimes called, "The Ladies' Vintage," 1950 gave fresh, elegant, and very pure wines and was a "declared" vintage for many Port houses and shippers. While there's certainly elegance here, there's also plenty of "umph" to the sweet and savory complexity of cured tobacco, orange peel, warm stone, fig, date, and dried plum aromas and flavors. Brisk on the finish, a wine to really savor.
- Maynard's Port Colheita 1947 Product #30548 (In Stock)
The 1947 vintage was all about balance – plenty of rich, ripe, fruit, aromas of flowers and tobacco, and plenty of acid/tannin structure. The orange peel acidity here plays nicely against the sweet caramel and toffee notes and makes for a long, mouthwatering, finish that leaves a burst of burnt orange peel and caremelized nut flavors sailing on and on.
- Maynard's Port Colheita 1934 Product #30549 (In Stock)
A limited treasure.
"The 1934 Colheita Port (Maynard's) is a blend of 25% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz, 15% Tinta Amarela, 10% Tinta Barroca and 30% of traditional grape varieties (Sousão, Bastardo, Rufete, Sousão, Tinta Francisca, among others); coming in at 154 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is one of many fine 1934s I've had. It's a happy trend. This powerhouse is initially all about its power and it has quite a lot. I always recommend drinking Tawnies a bit cool, but double underline that here. Concentrated and complex, it isn't just about preening in its power, though it adds some sweetness on the finish and becomes increasingly complex and flavorful as it calms down a bit. Overall, it's rather stunning. Since the 80th birthday celebrations are over, you may as well sit it down and knock it back. It's pretty fine."Wine Advocate 96 points

Citroen debuts DS3 Cabriolet in Paris
You are cruising on the motorway with the top of the car down, when all of a sudden the heavens decide to give the city a shower. And now you look quite stupid.
Say goodbye to this kind of situations with the DS3 Cabrio from Citroen. Rolling out on the early part of 2013, just before winter strikes, the DS3 Cabrio will feature a soft roof that you can retract even when you are running at 75 miles an hour.
The roof of the car will come in styles like DS Monogram, black, and infinite blue that can be matched with seven body finishes. The rear light will also feature a 3D signature that matches the unique running lights in front. The tailgate is also pretty complicated to describe but Citroen describes it having a cool opening action.
The roof can be fully closed in a matter of 16 seconds while running on speeds of up to 75 mph or 120 km/h. The car manufacturer claims that the cabin is quiet when the roof is shut. The structure for the soft top adds around 25 kilos to the weight of the car. The additional weight is very minimal compared to the usual gain for a hatch to a convertible setup.
The Citroen DS3 Cabrio can accommodate five adults. It is the only one in its segment that has that capacity and it also has the biggest compartment for its class.
Inside the DS3 Cabrio, the designers used LEDs on the ceiling console for some ambient lighting and some white light for the instrument cluster. There are also new choices for the upholstery including Akinen weft and Granit leather in blue.

Want to try something new and different to please your partner, boyfriend, or fuck buddy? Why not try a strip tease? Of course, it's possible all Zac wants to do is try out his moves on bareback sex partner, Thomas Fiaty. You know, just to make sure he won't make a fool of himself on stage. But the handsome Eastern European hottie needn't worry. With that handsome face, perfectly toned body, and huge cock, all he has to do is stand there and they'll throw money at him! While shaking his little butt around, Zac manages to pull off his clothes without hurting himself. Had that belt gone flying the buckle could have caused some serious damage! Good thing it didn't. And the end result is that Thomas is super-horned up and ready for a good, raw fuck. Zac approaches, rubbing his ass all over his twink pal's big dick, then lays down in order to better take that curve down his throat. But it's Thomas who gets his sweet, pink fuck hole penetrated and skewered, fucked like an eager whore taking on the bare adventure that is Zac. Did we mention we like Zac?
Zac Powers Strip Teases For Thomas Fiaty
Sam Santi Proves Every Man Has His Price
Every once in a while, you come across a man who can't be bought. However, those are few and far between, as Sam Santi proves. You see, despite his youth, Sam knows every man has his price. It's a matter of agreeing on the right amount. When he hears that his buddy Rudy Valentino is out of work and needs money, he immediately sets out to persuade him to let Sam suck his cock. At first, Rudy says no. He actually comes out and says he's not gay. Although, to his credit, he doesn't seem offended by being offered money. Which made us wonder, has he been offered money before? And to do what? All Sam wanted to do was suck his cock. Naturally, when the sexy blond with the thick, red lips that are oh-so-fuckable and spermable, pulled out a humongous wad of cash, Rudy sang a different tune and soon, Sam was on his knees, sucking his dark-haired friend's big fat dick.
After a while, Rudy got into it and was soon sucking cock as well, returning the favor. Though he didn't have to. He wasn't paid to suck cock. Only to let Sam suck HIM! And yet, there must be something about having that cash in hand that makes a handsome young jock like Rudy want to open his mouth and start sucking. Then again, it could have something to do with Sam's big piece of meat! After a while, Rudy had to fuck his gym buddies tight hole and, after turning him around and bending him over, he slid his raw fat cock inside the tiny pink hole, fucking him bareback. Sam was in heaven! Getting fucked, then riding Rudy, Sam goes to the brink, pulls himself off, then showers Rudy with a huge load. But fear not, Sam knows how to take as well as give and, within minutes, he was between Rudy's legs, letting him use his face as a cum receptacle. The moral of the story? EVERY man has his price. Some are willing to do it for free but money makes it all better.
1 Massage + 3 Horny Twinks = Hot Bareback Threeway
For those of you who enjoy a good massage that leads to a happy ending, we've got you covered. And for those of you who like twink-on-twink action — especially in a 3-way — don't worry. We've got you covered as well! We start off with Lee Fox massaging his slender toned buddy, Jack Dawson. It's sensual and hot, though they're still in their underwear. In fact it's almost innocent and filled with passion. Then Damien Dreik walks in and it all turns to hot, raw sex! Lee and Jack are both VERY receptive to the dark-haired, hung twink with his big, uncut dick and what follows is a huge cocksucking session with everyone sucking dick or getting sucked. Jack, in particular, winds up on the receiving end, with Damien servicing him, while devouring Lee's long, thick, and uncut fattie.
Smooth bodies, ripe peachy butts ready for plucking, and big dicks stuffing and pounding holes raw is what you'll get with this threesome. They're sexual appetite is insatiable and their fucking proves it. Especially with Jack in the middle, getting spit roasted and tag team fucked bareback by Damien and Lee. Lucky Jack ends up drenched in cum what with Damien giving him a huge steamy facial then Lee, unloading all over Jack's balls. This is definitely one scene that will leave your tongue wagging and wishing you could lap up all that fresh jizz. Slurrrppp!
Jack Dawson Gives Up His Bareback Cherry To Hung Chorche
Chorche and Jack Dawson might be new friends but there's been a connection between them from the start. That connection, at first, was attraction. Then it became a mutual understanding that one wanted what the other one had. Chorche has a big dick and Jack was still cherry. And now, they've come together. Both are tall, slender and perfectly formed with Chorche, the paler of the two, sporting a big uncut dick and washboard abs. With the enthusiasm of a rambunctious puppy, Jack goes down on Chorche, servicing the uncut piece of meat as best he can, knowing this is going to result with his buddy's big dick up his tight hole.
Eventually, Chorche returns the favor but then bends Jack over and doesn't even bother rimming him. He just presses the head of his cock up against Jack's virgin fuckhole, pushes in and…POP! Cherry gone. Jack simply pushed back, obviously enjoying the spreading of his tight pink hole as he accommodates more and more of Chorche's raw cock inside him. After a while the dark-haired beauty rides Chorche like a champ, spraying an unbelievable, fresh load of spunk ALL over Chorche before getting his balls creamed. Jack kisses Chorche's abdomen, as many of us which we could, and the two share a jizz-filled kiss. Hmmm. Bet that was tasty!

Clay Aiken Loves Girl Talk
American Idol loser turned Spamalot actor Clay Aiken appeared on The View this morning. Rather than talking about anything of substance, Aiken and the gals jump straight into the real meat: Aiken's favorite hair style! Grrrrl!
The conversation then turns into whether Aiken is "tired". Short answer? Yes.
2 Comments
It's a strange phenomenon, this sort of hiding in plain sight thing. Clooney does it, too, and in the younger crowd, Zac Efron. They act in overt stereotypical gay ways, then react very primly at the notion they are gay. Not "my lawyer will sue your ass" defensive like Tommy Cruise, but they act all bewildered, as if everyone were imagining things. If you really want to go back… Liberace.Jan 22, 2008 at 8:12 pm · @Reply ·
if this act can create an harmony atmosphere for gay and bring them a sunshine future,i will be always proponent to it.you can conmunicate with hot gay on gaysinglehunt.com.they are vigorious and optimistic and alawys surprised you

All About the Bluebells Flower
Description of the Bluebells FlowerThe Bluebell is something that you can really tell apart from other flowers, it has a very distinct look and is something that is definitely going to beset apart from some of the other options that are out there. Most of the flowers end up flowering in April and May and they look great. The flowers for the most part are lavender and blue, they have a very distinct tubular look to the and the petals really resemble bells, which is where it gets its name from.

Position announcement: Business Executive.
Updated Dec 25, 2012.
Localized Therapeutics, Inc., a biomedical R&D startup in Rochester, is seeking a business executive to join our company.
SUMMARY: Gene therapy is a promising field which got a recent regulatory boost with the approval of first gene therapy drug in Europe. We are developing laser-controlled gene switches for gene therapy drugs. This will allow to repeatedly activate therapeutic genes in target organs when desired by turning on light at desired times in wearable multi-laser patches. This is way safer than traditional drugs or traditional gene therapy drugs.
OUR TECHNOLOGY: Our main focus is to make gene therapy safer and more efficient by driving transgene expression with laser light. Gene therapy is a new field of medicine which has great promise for treatment of cancer, arthritis, obesity and many other disorders. Instead of traditional small molecule drugs, gene therapy uses DNA vectors made from safe viruses incapable of multiplying. Gene therapy drugs don't have side effects typical for traditional chemical drugs. Nonetheless, until now, there was no good way to control where, when, and to what extent, the transgenes will work in the body. We are aiming to produce and commercialize a technology that activates transgene expression only in the desired organs and only when it is needed. Hence our aim is the commercialization of a localized therapy, which is more efficient and safe than available therapies.
OUR PRODUCT: We aim to develop a line of products which are a combination of a laser system with a proprietary vector drug. Each vector drug will deliver laser-controlled transgene expression to a specific tissue or organ.
THE MARKET: Our target market is the pharmaceutical companies that own intellectual property on therapeutic transgenes for specific diseases and which would benefit from using our laser activated delivery system. In addition, our laser-vector combinations can be used in animal research offering laser-controlled activation of a transgene in specific locations.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL: While our technology is highly innovative, our business model is typical for biotech startups. We are applying for grants and raising venture funding.
THE APPLICANT: This will be an amazing opportunity for the right candidate. The company is driven by the excitement of a very promising biotechnological idea. You will have the opportunity and are expected to become the leading business executive in the company. A large part of your activity will be entrepreneurial: in tandem with the president you will be negotiating with investors, academic partners and pharmaceutical customers. Your compensation will be composed of shares in the company and salary contingent on funding which you will assist to raise. Towards this goal you will be provided the opportunity to market our unique therapeutic technology and have full scientific and administrative support from the partners.
EXPERIENCE: Biotech startup, venture finance, intellectual property, gene therapy pharma connections, integration in Rochester business circles, biological and biomedical engineering experience would be a plus.
EDUCATION: MBA with finance focus would be ideal, some biomedical education would be a plus.
NOTE: Very appropriately, as of December 2012, the field of gene therapy has made a groundbreaking regulatory breakthrough with the approval of the first gene therapeutic drug for commercial use in the West.
HOW TO APPLY: send your resume and cover letter to firstname.lastname@example.com
We are an equal opportunity employer.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't just have one.
One BAG, that is.
So I can understand when Lake View High School senior Abigail Hernandez told the local paper in her New Mexico town that she used to be one of the alleged 8 out of 10 students that brings Flamin' Hot Cheetos to school every day.
"I ate them every day, even for breakfast, and I got really big. There were days when, if my mother didn't buy them for me, I would get so mad. … It took me three months to quit."
That's exactly the reason, according to the Huffington Post, that a middle school health teacher in New Mexico wants to ban Flamin' Hot Cheetos. She says that not only is the snack a health hazard, but it's just too messy. Apparently school janitors are constantly cleaning up red fingerprints from the Cheetos (welcome to my world). In a letter to parents, the teacher also says students share their Cheetos, which spreads germs.
I initially thought the move to ban Cheetos was ridiculous. I mean, what next? Seems like schools are banning like never before. Just check out this post of 15 Things Schools Have Banned in 2012 including skinny jeans, hair bows and saying the word "meep." But apparently this isn't the first time someone wanted to ban the spicy snack. According to the Chicago Tribune, the Noble Street Charter School Network and Rockford Public Schools already banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos. They now only sell baked regular Cheetos. And, according to the Huffington Post, Jackson Elementary School in Pasadena, Calif., confiscates Hot Cheetos that appear at school.
Who knew Flamin' Hot Cheetos are the scourge of schools nationwide?
Still, just because a food is messy is no reason to ban it. And if we're banning snacks based on health, then there are a slew of other things sold at schools that should go as well. I can understand deciding not to sell Cheetos or junk food at school, but kids should be able to bring whatever they want from home. That's a decision between them and their parents. Don't you think?

The Department of Natural Resources issued a release this afternoon advising residents of the Botwood area to be cautious given recent black bear sightings in and around the town.
© File photo
File photo
The release says conservation officers with the department have placed traps in areas where black bears have been reported and recently relocated a bear from Botwood to a remote area.
To avoid attracting bears into their communities and backyards where they can pose a risk to public safety, residents are encouraged to ensure the proper storage and disposal of garbage, including not storing garbage in outside containers until collection day.
The department also warns residents that wild animals can be extremely dangerous and unpredictable when approached by humans. If anyone encounters a bear, they are reminded to:
· Remain calm;
· Back away slowly and do not run;
· Avoid eye contact with the bear; and
· Remove any garbage or food that may have attracted the bear.
Bears are common in many areas of the province at this time of the year. Anyone sighting a black bear is asked to please contact their local Forest Management Office.
The standby telephone number for the Botwood area, which should be used after regular business hours, is 709-541-0214.
