|This was Number 137. Yes, I counted.
I've been a Mount Collector since before Wrath, I'll be honest. The Argent Tournament was probably when my desire to own things to ride on outstripped the apathy/issues that surround this being a game and not Real Life and it became MORE than just a passing desire. In fact, if I'm honest, this expansion was the one when the Time Lost Proto Drake appeared and for the first (and last) time in my Warcraft life I actually camped things, largely unsuccessfully. It then occurred to me that, if I was going to do the whole collecting thing, there were going to need to be some Sanity Rules put in place, not simply for me. No camping, no stupid sums of money spent, no doing things that negatively impact on the Real World.
Simple rules, but they serve me well.
|165 Dungeon Runs. Not all concurrent.
The key has always been 'not all at once' because I've never been in that kind of relationship with the game to begin with. It is always about making the most of a moment, or capitalising on some free time, but the Mounts have become increasingly difficult to capture alone. Tying them to World and Instance Bosses is, of course, a great way to promote the longevity of that particular content, but for the solo player it does mean that you are restricted by your own ability. That is as frustrating as it is liberating, especially when presented with mechanics that, even after you outgear content, will kill you regardless. For me, it is simple. I accept some mounts I will never own, and I move on. This would hugely frustrate those who believe that the only obstacle to owning everything is patience and time, but I would counter that in any collection, there must be a limit. You need to know when to stop.
I used to collect things, and it nearly bankrupted me. I have learnt that lesson too.
|Recruit a Friend. Acceptable Expense ^^
When Blizzard announced the 250 Mount Achievement, it wasn't a surprise, and I was already planning, because that is the very nature of Collecting. It never stops until you decide you're done. Collecting is infinite, as old as the Universe itself, because as long as people exist to make things, there will be those who collect, for whatever reason. The only arbiter of completion, ultimately, is yourself. 250 for me is eminently doable without having to resort to a massive lifestyle change, it can be planned and executed well, and I am in a position to prepare several characters to do the job which does at least increase the chances of a drop. For me, part of the process now isn't the actual mounts, but organising around them. How I can make extra money, planning the most efficient routes between kill points... which is probably why camping for me is such a terrible waste of time and effort. However attractive the reward, the cost is simply too great to swallow.
For everything there must be an acceptable reward.
|Crafting FTW.
This has been a four mount week: three from crafting and one from a run I've done hundreds of times since TBC. The trick with collecting is to be realistic and have a sense of humour. I call it the 'Circuit of Disappointment' for a reason, after all. There are always days, weeks when you have nothing to show for your eforts but every time the total ticks up, then there's progress, forward momentum. That's the key. Moving ahead. Attaining the goal. Not going insane.
|Outfit & Tanking Pet matches Mount? CHECK.
Ride a White Horse will become another off/on feature on the Blog as we move into Warlords. My current Mounts Owned total is 214. That's thirty-six to find to hit the next rest point... ^^
No time to waste, let's go start again today.

Stay up-to-date in pulmonary and critical care. No spam.
Xigris' epitaph: "I Never Worked a Day in My Life" (PROWESS-SHOCK)
Recombinant human activated protein C or dotrecogin alfa -- better known as Xigris, by Eli Lilly -- seemed a godsend when it was first approved for treatment of severe sepsis in 2001. Xigris' FDA approval (despite an evenly split 10-10 vote) was based solely on the Eli Lilly-funded PROWESS study, a phase 3 randomized trial that was stopped early because Xigris' results seemed so amazing: an absolute mortality reduction of 6% -- an impressive number that implied Xigris could save thousands of lives every year (number needed to treat to save a life of about 17).
However, Xigris' sales never really took off: only about $100 million per year worldwide, far short of the billion-dollar blockbuster it was forecasted to be. That's about when Lilly funded the Surviving Sepsis Campaign in order to ensure Xigris' inclusion in its guidelines, and created a task force on "Values, Ethics and Rationing in Critical Care" to paint Xigris-withholding physicians as unethical, according to perturbed NIH doctors in a 2006 NEJM editorial and press coverage.
Additional trials requested by FDA (1, 2) did not show a benefit of Xigris, either in critically ill severe sepsis patients (the subgroup believed most likely to benefit) or in less-ill patients, and were terminated early for futility. Numerous commentators pointed out irregularities in the original PROWESS design and implementation: patients were only followed for 28 days; the trial was stopped according to Lilly-prespecified endpoints of efficacy, and the protocol was changed during recruitment, after which reduced mortality was observed in the Xigris arm as compared to before the change. Another large trial was "requested" by the European Medicines Agency (like the FDA), and Eli Lilly's PROWESS-SHOCK was born. On May 31, 2012, results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
What They Did
Randomized 1697 patients with septic shock requiring vasopressors and with clinical evidence of hypoperfusion (renal failure, acidosis, etc) to receive either Xigris or placebo. Patients were very sick (APACHE 25, 84% with 3 or more organs failing). Based on a subgroup analysis from the original PROWESS trial, Xigris was believed to be most efficacious in these very ill patients with severe sepsis.
Primary outcome: death at 28 days.
What They Found
Xigris didn't work:
- Mortality at 28 days: 26% in Xigris group vs. 24% in placebo.
- Mortality at 90 days: 34% in Xigris group vs. 33% in placebo.
More "nonserious" bleeding occurred on Xigris (9% vs. 5%), but major bleeding (1% vs. 1%) was minimal and equivalent between groups.
What It Means
Xigris was removed from the worldwide market in October 2011 after PROWESS-SHOCK's preliminary results were published, so this is all moot of course. If you're looking for a souvenir, there may still be some street vendors in Szechuan with a vial or two for sale (not recommended), and of course you can always buy drugs, including "Xigris," over the Internet from "Canada" (DO NOT DO THIS!!).
The moral of the story is ... too complicated for me to even try to sum up here. Doctoral theses in public policy could (and hopefully will) be written about this saga, capturing as it does the complex interdependency of industry, academic institutions, "thought leader" guideline-writing physicians of the expertocracy, and rank-and-file prescribing physicians forming the true market for a drug. Not to mention the sensitivity of trial findings to study design, a craft at which drug makers' increasing control, secrecy and sophistication long ago outran most physicians' ability to critically evaluate trial results.
It is truly interesting that multiple observational studies (1, 2, 3) purporting to control for patient-level differences (with propensity scores and other suchlike statistical black magic) observed benefits of Xigris "similar to PROWESS."
Clinical Takeaway: For all of us, in a word? Humility. Okay, two words: and skepticism.

Fantastic title
First of all, Eli Lilly (or 'Lilly' as they now like to be called) has been scamming the public and governments causing unnecessary deaths by procuring their own biased studies to get drugs fast-tracked (that have little or no benefit) for many, many years.
In my moms case Xigris did WAY more damage than good. The problem is Lilly realized 2 years too late and finally removed the drug from the market completely but mom was already dead. Where is our justice? Mind you, Lilly made hundreds of millions if not billions off the drug before it was removed. Shouldn't they pay that 'profit' to the families of people affected by Xigris?
The bottom line is that Lilly is still getting away with it AND NOW they want the Canadian Justice System to completely throw out its ethics and change so they can fast-track more PROFIT: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/eli-lilly-files-500m-nafta-suit-against-canada-over-drug-patents-1.1829854

Enterprise Features Gain Focus as MySQL 5.1 Nears Release
Published: April 22, 2008
by Alex Woodie
The transformation of the MySQL database from open source curiosity to production-level workhorse continued this month with version 5.1, which adds several enterprise-level features. While MySQL 5.1--which is expected to ship before the end of June--has seen good reviews, the open source database's owner, Sun Microsystems, has created controversy over its decision to make a new online backup feature available only to customers who pay for the enterprise version of the software.
With more than 200 million downloads, MySQL is the most popular open source database on the market. The company, which was acquired by Sun in January for $1 billion, has succeeded with the tricky task of developing a database that appeals to hobbyists and small businesses, while also offering some of the higher-end features that large companies need--all while making the core product free.
Last summer, those enterprise roots grew deeper when MySQL and IBM announced MySQL Enterprise for i5/OS, a version of the database designed to run under the i5/OS operating system (which has since been renamed IBM i) on the Power Systems server (formerly System i, i5, iSeries, and AS/400).
That deal also brought technical support from IBM and MySQL, and came with the promise that the platform's native database, DB2/400, would be able to plug-in as one of MySQL's database engines, thereby opening the established database to the new range of next-generation applications written in PHP and other languages that are commonly associated with MySQL. However, since MySQL has been acquired by Sun, the rush to make DB2/400 a MySQL engine appears to have cooled.
MySQL version 5.1, which Sun introduced at the MySQL user conference last week, introduces several enterprise-level enhancements designed to boost performance and provide more flexible data processing.
For starters, support for table and index partitioning will speed query response times by eliminating the need to scan the entire table or index. Similarly, support for row-based replication of database changes (as opposed to replicating the entire SQL statement) brings a performance boost, but at the possible expense of missing some data. In these cases, support for hybrid replication mechanisms allows the programmer to mix and match the different methods according to application needs.
A new event scheduler also debuts with MySQL 5.1 that allows developers and database administrators to automatically schedule common recurring SQL-based tasks to execute on the database server. According to MySQL, it provides deeper support of database-specific tasks than the common CRON task schedulers used in Linux and Unix or the Windows task scheduler.
MySQL also introduced a new database design tool called the MySQL Workbench at the user conference last week. The tool, which works with all versions of MySQL, allows users to model their database, physically create their database, validate and document data, and manage database changes, all from a single console. This product, which was created from the open source DBDesigner4 project, is available in two editions: one that's free and community-supported and one that's professionally supported for $100 per year.
The new database also introduces a new upgrade advisor in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor that automatically monitors the MySQL database for specific bugs and gives users recommendations on how to deal with the problem. This feature is only available to users of MySQL Enterprise Server, which costs between $599 and $4,999 per server per year.
Feature disparity between the free community-supported version and the professionally supported enterprise version has erupted into a major PR problem for Sun last week. The brouhaha started when MySQL executives said new backup and recovery functionality planned for version 6.0 will be available only to MySQL Enterprise Server customers, and not the vast majority of customers who use the free community-supported version.
This has led to accusations that Sun is trying to squeeze its newly acquired (and quite huge) MySQL customer base for more license fees, and that it has lost touch of the ethos of community involvement that made MySQL such a huge success in the first place.
In fact, the decision to "squeeze" the customer base with enterprise features, if it can be called that, was made before Sun acquired MySQL, and the new backup and recovery features are a reflection of a strategic direction MySQL has been executing for some time. MySQL is pondering moving away from the dual licensing strategy with version 6 and instead adopting a commercial open source strategy, similar to SugarCRM and others, where the basic version is available under GPL, but all extra features must be paid for.
However, the sting of criticism and accusations of selling "crippleware" appears to weigh heavily on the shoulders of Sun's MySQL executives, who have said they may change course. Marten Mickos, the former CEO of MySQL who is now a vice president with Sun, attempted to appease the masses with a Slashdot posting. "In 6.0 there will be native backup functionality in the server available for anyone and all (Community, Enterprise) under GPL. Additionally we will develop high-end add-ons (such as encryption, native storage engine-specific drivers) that we will deliver to customers in the MySQL Enterprise product only. We have not yet decided under what license we will release those add-ons (GPL, some other FOSS license, and/or commercial)."
In any event, MySQL 5.1 is scheduled to ship by June for IBM i OS, AIX, Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Enterprise Linux Server, Solaris, HP-UX, OS X, and Free BSD.

Guess what? You get to write the sequal!
I think that good shareware outnumbers the bad exponentially. I can name some shareware programmers out there who produce applications that are vastly superior to those of their commercial counterparts. Example (without naming names), two programmers working in their spare time produced an application that is far more advanced than a competing commercial product resulting from the collective effort of over 400 full time programmers.
As a former commercial software developer (I don't have time for it now) I can assure you that excellent documentation = few, if any, tech support calls. Also, verbose error messages which describe remedies, mean no tech support queries. There must be an unwritten rule out there which requires error messages be vague or ambiguous.
I look forward to your next article(s).

Lisa Marie Presley is one of World Vision Artists' new advocates for the world's poorest children. World Vision caught up with the singer and mother of four, who is currently on tour for her new album, Storm & Grace.
World Vision Artist Lisa Marie Presley — yes, that Presley — is one of our new advocates for the world's poorest children. World Vision caught up with the singer and mother of four, who is currently on tour for her new album, Storm and Grace.
See Lisa Marie at any of her upcoming tour dates through the end of November, where concert-goers can stop by the World Vision table at each venue to sponsor a child.
When you have children, you get more sensitive to children. A really simple answer, but it's true. When you become a mother, you see how children start off and how helpless and vulnerable they are. It makes you really want to go fight for them, stand up and help them, and do something for them — because they can't do it for themselves.
Some people are in a position where they can help. And if you are, then I feel like you should. If you sit there and take and take and take, that's boring and I have no interest. I'm in a position where I can do something to help the world be a better place, so I should do that.
Everyone has a responsibility, to some degree. We can all be self-absorbed and worry about our own problems, but then you find out what's really going on, and it puts things in perspective.
It's not that difficult to help — $35 a month (the cost for child sponsorship) is not that hard when you think about it. It's the price of concert tickets, or coffee every day for a month, all to help to potentially save someone's life, give them food, and help their community.
Because it's tried and true, and it's been around for so long. I did the [World Vision Kisongo Trek] walk-through in Nashville, and I saw the interaction that goes on and where your money goes. That's another key for me — the correspondence with a child and their family.
World Vision is set up in such a way that it's a really well-oiled machine. You guys are really in there doing it. It's not for show, it's not to make a commercial to get people to send a bunch of money — it's really happening. That's what appeals to me.
I'm excited about involving my whole family, the older kids [ages 24 and 21] and the little ones [4-year-old twins], too. My two older kids are sponsoring children, and they want to go to the field and do volunteer work with me next year. As soon as I told them about the possibility of doing that, they said, 'We want to go, we really want to go!' I was really happy to hear that. I want to get my hands dirty and refocus.
My daughter [actress Riley Keough] was just in Africa for six months shooting the new Mad Max movie. When she got back she told me, 'I'm horrified [at how some people live]. I want to do something. I need to come back here.' She's got a huge heart.
It's a juggling act, particularly when I'm on tour and working, because I've got the little ones with me and the big ones to keep my eye on. I do it in sections and try to compartmentalize everything. I have entire months when all I do is work and then months when I'm with the kids all the time.
Right now, it feels like everything is on fire because of the tour. It's really day by day. Yesterday we were stuck on the tour bus all day long. It was like we were camping because the performance was out in the Oregon countryside. Thank goodness I'd gone grocery shopping the day before to get snacks!
It's tough! I want to be with them all the time, but I love doing this, too. So you've got to keep it all balanced.

Sirwan River
|Sîrwan (Continues in Iraq as Diyala river)
Sirwin River
|Main source
|Western Iran
|River mouth
|Tigris River
|Basin size
|32,600 km2 (12,600 sq mi)[1]
|Physical characteristics
|445 km (277 mi)
The Sirwan River (Kurdish: and Persian: Sîrwan, سيروان, Arabic: نهر ديالى, Persian: سیروان ), is a river and tributary of the Tigris that originates in Iran as the Sirwan (or Sirvan) River then runs mainly through Eastern Iraq. It covers a total distance of 445 km (277 mi).
It rises near Hamadan, in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. It then descends through the mountains, where for some 32 km it forms the border between the two countries. It finally feeds into the Tigris below Baghdad. Navigation of the upper reaches of the Diyala is not possible because of its narrow defiles, but the river's valley provides an important trade route between Iran and Iraq.
The river is mentioned in Herodotus' Histories under the name Gyndes, where it is stated that the king Cyrus the Great dispersed it by digging 360 channels as punishment after a sacred white horse perished there. The river returned to its former proportions after the channels disappeared under the sand. The Battle of Diyala River took place in 693 BC between the forces of the Assyrian empire and the Elamites of southern Iran.
Its origin in Kurdish and Persian is called "Sirwan", meaning 'roaring sea' or 'shouting river', as well as being the name of an ancient city near Ilam city in Iran. In the Sassanid and early Islamic periods, the lower course of the river formed part of the Nahrawan Canal. The Diyala Governorate in Iraq is named after the river.
In Iran the Daryan Dam is currently under construction near Daryan in Kermanshah Province. The purpose of the dam is to divert a significant portion of the river to Southwestern Iran for irrigation through the 48 km (30 mi) long Nosoud Water Conveyance Tunnel and to produce hydroelectric power.[2][3] In Iraq, the river first reaches the Darbandikhan Dam which generates hydroelectric power and stores water for irrigation. It then flows down to the Hemrin Dam for similar purposes. In the lower Diyala Valley near Baghdad the river is controlled by the Diyala Weir which controls floods and irrigates the area northeast of Baghdad.

Azithromycin reduces acute flare-ups of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers recruited 1,142 COPD patients from 17 facilities and randomized them to receive usual care plus either 250 mg of azithromycin or placebo for 12 months. The median time to the first acute exacerbation of COPD was 50% longer in the azithromycin group (266 days) than in the placebo group (174 days). The azithromycin group also had higher quality-of-life scores and less nasopharyngeal bacterial growth; however, the proportion of patients colonized with macrolide antibiotic–resistant microbes was higher in the treatment group. "Given the deleterious effects of acute exacerbations of COPD," write the authors in the August 25 New England Journal of Medicine, "adding azithromycin to the treatment regimen of patients who have had an acute exacerbation of COPD within the previous year or who require supplemental oxygen is a valuable option."

What is the Sciatic Nerve?
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your spinal cord to your buttock and hip area and down the back of each leg. The term "sciatica" refers to pain that radiates along the path of this nerve — from your back down your buttock and leg. Sciatica isn't a disorder in and of itself. Instead, sciatica is a symptom of another problem involving the nerve, such as a herniated disc.
Some symptoms of sciatica include pain, numbness or muscle weakness, tingling, and a loss of bladder control. Risk factors that could lead to these symptoms are old age, prolonged sitting, diabetes, and an occupation that requires you to twist your back or carry heavy loads often. Sciatica sometimes goes away on its own, but there are other treatments your doctor may recommend.

mon 24 dec 2012 11:19:56 witte de withstraat
i went out in the daylight
that was a pretty rare experience, getting up in the morning and going out to buy stuff. just before ten, i took out the trash, then walked to the corner to buy tobacco, then to the bakkerij nazar to get some brown bread and witte bollen (never been in there before!) and finally stopped in at the pharmacy to get some paracetamol. i asked george if he needed some but he has enough medicine. i'm kinda worried about him. he has blood poisoning and a fever and they put him on antibiotics. no idea how that happened.
kitty nikita is okay, kinda bored i think. whisky and tigger are okay. i fed eamonn's fish too.
i found some old lectures by richard feynman on youtube. i think they were shot by BBC at some american university (cornell maybe?) back in the early 1960s. i've been watching them.
in the last couple days i'm getting a whole new wave of youtube subscribers, and lots of views on the 'moon hoax not' film. apparently someone discovered it and promoted it with a link somewhere. last night a lady named clara wrote to me from somewhere on earth, saying: 'This is me telling you you're actually very extraordinarily awesome.' so that's good i guess. and a guy named shane wrote to tell me of his website where i can submit clips 'in case you find yourself debunking any more nonsense in the future'.
also this is the most youtube subscribers i've ever had with actual, plausible human names. it's like they're just real people instead of brand names or stage names. that's kinda cool.

Honolulu fire investigators say a blaze that destroyed a trailer in Kapolei was intentionally set.
Firefighters responded to the scene on Enterprise Avenue around 5 a.m. Sunday morning.
The trailer served as an office for an automotive repair shop called Iron Horse Towing. Crews had the fire under control a half hour later.
No injuries were reported. Damage to the structure is estimated at $20,000, and $5,000 to the contents. The arson case has been handed over to Honolulu police.

Originally written on December 24th, 2011...but I forgot to post it.
My brother in New York still has no idea christmas is happening. My brother Matt, who knows if he even knows it's December.
I called Matt on the phone to remind him that it's winter now and he should wear a snow cap. "What dude? It's winter? No one told me." Matt is off in his own world doing crazy shit. We pick up the phone and say Matt, what are you doing? And he's like I'm doing this, don't worry about it. And we go, Matt, no, that's crazy, you can't do that, that's insane. He says okay, you're right. And then he still does it.
Matt asked me if we were doing the sibling gift exchange this year.
Gift exchange? Oh yeah, Christmas. I don't know. Ask Becky.
I figured she had it all under control. Our family depends on my sister to organize the gift exchange every year. She is the general manager of Christmas.
Each year she organizes the gift exchange, when the siblings pick each others names out of a hat and choose to buy each other stuff. I always get Danny, my oldest brother, and I'm always happy about that because he has money. If you draw Matt in the gift exchange you would be getting whatever he picked up at Walgreen's that morning.
Matt never asked Becky about the gift exchange. He forgot. And I forgot that I even had that conversation with Matt. Which leaves us to Danny. His solution would be to hire a third party to draw the names out of the hat for us.
I talked to Becky and found out in a recent conversation that she decided to leave it up to the three boys to organize the gift exchange this year. It was a devastating move on her part to think that we would do this. That's asking a lot from a household filled with retards.
We missed our assignments appointed down by the general manager. My assignment was to shave and remind Matt to show up to christmas. Matt's assignment was to stop doing that and show up to christmas. Danny didn't get a task since he is the oldest. He can just fly in from New York, make witty comments, and fly back.
As the youngest of the household I've decided to take it upon myself to send a notice to the family, informing them of the cancellation of the gift exchange and therefore Christmas:
Attention fellow siblings. It appears there was some miscommunication. I would like to cite poor planning and execution of the gift exchange, which includes the task of picking a name out of a hat. We couldn't really string it together and focus. We'll have to get better at preparing the hat and the pieces of paper. Let's take this time to think about how we can correct this problem in the future, and shift our focus to New Years. New Years is over? Alright, birthdays then.

Exciting experiences await for you to walk down in vineyards smelling the fresh fragrance of grapes of your favorite wine. The taste of wine is more different and enchanting in the atmosphere where it is produced, so weather you plan to visit one location, or them all you will be sure to have a rich and flavorful experience!
1. Castello Banfi, Tuscany, Italy
The red blends of the region are some of the most flavorful wines of Italy which made it one of the most famous vineyards in the world; though it would be hard to complain if you paried ANY wine in this region with pizza!
2. Montes, Colchagua Valley, Chile
The most common grapes found here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir. Coincidentally, these grapes are of the best quality and can be bottled and enjoyed at inexpensive prices. Not to mention, it is the only wine destination in the world where the wines are aged with Gregorian chants being played in the background. Here, the hills are literally alive with the sound of music!
3. Ken Forrester, Stellenbosch, South Africa
To get a better sense of this destination, it is best to imagine a Mediterranean climate and scenery reminiscent of the Napa Valley- without the crowds. South Africa has prestige to own Stellenbosch as the wine capital of South Africa. Who would've thought!
4. Bodega O' Fournier, Mendoza, Argentina
The world's finest Malbec wine of dark purple grapes is the most famous variety of wine produced by Mendoza. The snowy mountains of the Andes accentuate the beauty of winery and its unique shape. If you were thinking it looks like a spaceship, so were we!
5. Napa Valley, California
As the American capital of food and wine, Napa Valley is heavily made from rich traditions and specialties of the family-owned and world-renowned wineries. One can easily spend a full day here exploring or a week here vacationing enjoying Beringer Vineyards and nostalgic scenery all while embracing American winemaking.
6. Felton Road, Central Otago, New Zealand
Central Otago is the southernmost wine region on the planet. The visitors as well as the workers of wineries enjoy their unique location right in the shadow of snow from the Southern Alps.
7. Bodegas Ysios, Rioja, Spain
Rioja, is the name of the infamous wine named after the iconic region of La Rioja in Spain. A winemaker in Rioja developed the first bottled version of the wine-based punch we know and love as, Sangria. Bodegas Ysios is not only famous for its wine but the unique architecture designed by Santiago Calatrava which resembles the mountains behind the winery. #WhatAView
8.Quinta do Portal, Douro Valley, Portugal
If you have had enough of white and red wines and want to taste something different, then Quinta do Portal is a place to visit! Here you can taste Port wine at its finest. At Quinta do Vesuvio, for instance, there are the rewards 15 years of great Port production to choose from. Talk about stimulating your tastebuds!
9. Chateau Lynch-Bages, Bordeaux, France
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes produce incredible Pomerol, Graves and Malbec wines that must be tasted by every wine admirer. The wines produced in Bordeaux region are synonym of high quality and punchy-flavor!
10.Peter Jakob Kuhn Oestrich, Rhein/Mosel, Germany
Trust me, the name gets easier by the glass. Here the Mosel River which creates the gorgeous backdrop for most complex and popular wines in the world lies in German landscape. With the scrumptious taste of its popular wine Riesling, Mosel have been the king of wines and been listed in top 10 wine destinations in the world.

Black, Brown & Beige featuring Mahalia Jackson
Columbia Jazz
The justly celebrated Black, Brown & Beige, although in dramatically reduced form from its original 44-minute score, as performed at Carnegie Hall in January 1943 (see Prestige 2PCD-34004), is here offered in a February 1958 recording that utilizes only the first of the three movements, albeit in different permutations. In addition to the music heard on the original Columbia LP, we now have 10 more tracks, inclusive of alternate takes of Parts I-VI, two pieces not intended for inclusion in BB&B, "Track 360" (or "Trains") and "Blues in Orbit" (or "Tender"), both of which are alternates, and a previously unissued a cappella version of Mahalia Jackson singing the "Come Sunday" theme. It is especially instructive to note how Duke reassigned solo parts in order to compensate for Johnny Hodges' absence from the band during this period.

In order to be on the 24-hour prayer line, the participants must first understand what we are praying about.
The participants will volunteer to pray one hour in a twenty-four hour period.
They will need to pray an hour comfortably so that they will not get tired or quit.
The objective is to have a prayer team, or participant to fill each hour in a twenty-four hour period.
The prayer teams or participants are to share with their prayer leaders or the ministry heading up the 24-hour prayer line, what God is speaking to them.
It would be wise if the teams and participants would report on a weekly basis; that way the reporting times will not cause confusion.
The ministry heading up the prayer line will send an email or send a letter to each team or participant letting them know if everyone is on the same page or in there are new revelations from God.
It is imperative that the participants or teams are Christian base participants.
The purpose for a 24 hour prayer line is to bring churches and leaders close together, braking denominational walls, bringing structure and order to our city, and become a source of help, hope and resource for youth, young adults, children and most important to the elderly.

On Sunday, not long after the talks in Geneva failed to provide an agreement between the P5+1 and Iran, John Kerry hit the airwaves to share some secretarial wisdom with his fellow Americans. Two days earlier, Israelis also had the chance to witness this mastermind of policy (if talks with the Palestinians fail, he warned them, a third Intifada is coming). But it was America's turn now, and Iran's. The US, Kerry said, continues to be skeptical of the latter's willingness to dismantle its nuclear program. "We are not blind, and I don't think we're stupid. I think we have a pretty strong sense of how to measure whether or not we are acting in the interests of our country and of the globe", the Secretary said on "Meet the Press".
"Blind" or "stupid" is quite bad of course, yet if you ask most Israelis, when it comes to the Iran negotiations "blind" or "stupid" is actually the most flattering depiction imaginable of Kerry. One could argue that turning the dispute between Israel and the US into a public brawl was a mistake on Prime Minister Netanyahu's side– I'll get to that in a second. Manners aside though, from an Israeli viewpoint Kerry is blind, stupid or naïve at best, but could also be considered as careless, irresponsible or defeatist. Since he was the one in Israel for talks, since he was the one making the unwise remarks about a third Intifada, and since he was the one rushing to Geneva to close the deal that all Israelis – you rarely see such consensus – agree is a sham, and since he was the one responding to Netanyahu's criticism - Kerry now overshadows Obama as public enemy number one.
The more the talks with Iran advanced, the more matters between Netanyahu and Kerry deteriorated. Some Israelis (and there's no-doubt they are joined by others in the US) have criticized Netanyahu for picking a fight in public with the Secretary of State. On Friday, as Kerry was leaving Israel to join the talks, Netanyahu declared that "the Iranians are walking around very satisfied in Geneva, and they should be because they got everything and paid nothing". His language was blunt, and his manner dour. Judging by the way he spoke, he didn't think Kerry was merely stupid – he seemed to think that Kerry was spineless. That he was pathetic. And the usual ritual of a US-Israel "crisis" was already brewing.
It is a ritual familiar to all observers of US-Israel relations, about which some myths have to be debunked. No, it isn't because of the personal relations between Netanyahu and Obama that the US and Israel are constantly at odds. And it isn't an irresponsible Israeli policy that is the cause of crisis. And it isn't a matter of hostile American policy. When crisis becomes a chronic situation between the governments of two countries, the less serious approach is to blame it all on miscommunication or on lack of chemistry between the leaders. Naturally, communication helps. But, in fact, the communication between the two administrations isn't bad. They talk, they listen, they meet. And of course, chemistry helps, and there is not much of it between the cold and detached Obama to the condescending and smarter-than-thou Netanyahu. But does anyone truly believe that had there been more sympathy between these two leaders (and the wooden Kerry) the US would not have strived to cut the deal with Iran that it is about to cut?
A less colorful but more sober assessment of the nature of "crisis" begins with the real differences of opinion and with the real gaps in the understanding of the situation, and with the fact that the US and Israel are not one – these are two countries, and the leadership of these countries have two sets of interests and priorities. So yes, the US would like Iran to halt its nuclear program, if the cost for achieving such an outcome is not too high and if the issue doesn't become too disruptive when considering other priorities. But no, for the US the Iranian issue doesn't seem like an existential issue. And no, for the US the threat from a nuclear Iran is not as grave as it is for Israel (that is true even for those who do not accept the Israeli Prime Minister's doomsday view of the Iranian issue).
Thus, frustration aside, the coming of the crisis was to be expected. In fact, it is to be expected both on Iran and on the peace process with the Palestinians – two issues on which the governments of the two countries simply disagree. Looking back at the past five years of the Obama presidency, the pattern of US-Israel relations should be reinterpreted accordingly: initially, the governments weren't careful enough to mask the differences and hence constantly fought with one another. At some point, pretty early on, both sides realized that such fights contribute nothing and are a distraction, so they learned to behave better. Consequently, during routine days and weeks, the governments were civilized, cooperative, and friendly. Yet from time to time, when a moment of decision approaches, the gaps are manifested in a "crisis".
The current crisis is serious then, not because of the harsher language or the sense of personal acrimony. It is serious because it is a crisis about an issue that both sides consider crucially important. The US finds it crucially important that Israel will not try to ruin the delicate agreement with Iran. Israel finds it crucially important to do exactly that, to try to ruin an agreement that will badly damage the effort to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. The governments aren't at odds over manners or niceties or language – they are working one against the other. The interests of the two countries- as their respective governments understand these interests- collide.
Thus, this is a troubling moment, even a scary moment, for those who believe in the US-Israel alliance.

I scheduled the boys birthday pics almost 3 months ago. With their birthdays being in November we have to compete with everyone wanting Holiday pics. So, I emailed Heather of Cute and Classy Photography so she could get us on the books early.
Now, in order to do pictures right, the boys needed birthday shirts and for me to be able to buy birthday shirts I needed to decided on a theme for their birthday party. Why is this so difficult? I think part of my problem is that I have 2 boys that are not twins! So, to me, it's not one birthday party. It's a joint birthday party for two separate occasions. I went back and forth....Mickey Mouse, Planes~Trains~Automobiles, barn yard. I just couldn't make a decisions. I search Etsy for hours and hours trying to find that one thing to inspire me and I finally ran across this. It was simple, boyish, she could ship it within 2 days, and it was affordable. What I loved most though was I could worry about a "theme" later. I also needed a nicer outfit for each of them to take pictures in. Luckily, I already had a few things in the closet so I just had to match them up.
We met Heather down in the Stockyards on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, perfect for outdoor pictures. Our fall has been unusually warm but I'm not complaining. My goal was to get individual pics and both boys together. I just wanted ONE good one of the two of them. Seth is nightmare when it comes to taking pictures. Everyone keeps telling me that it's his age and it will get better. I sure hope they're right. Seth just wanted to run around, climb on everything, and not look at the camera. Caleb was a breeze compared to big brother. J went with us, I couldn't handle it on my own, but he had no idea how to help. In the end it didn't matter. Heather is so great at what she does that she was able to capture some amazing shots of both of them.
And the only way we were able to get them both to sit down and stay still was to break out the cake.
Their birthdays are not for a few more weeks but keep an eye out for the Party Post.

WorldCat Discovery Services now available
Earlier this year, OCLC launched WorldCat Discovery Services, a new suite of cloud-based applications that brings the FirstSearch and WorldCat Local services together. The new suite enables people to discover more than 1.5 billion electronic, digital and physical resources in libraries around the world through a single search of both WorldCat and a central index that represents more than 2,000 e-content collections. This makes it possible for 18,000+ FirstSearch libraries to offer a richer discovery experience.
"OCLC is letting its mission drive its actions," says Angi Faiks, Associate Director of Access, Instruction and Research Services, Macalester College, who participated in the beta of the new service. "WorldCat Discovery reinforces OCLC's public purpose by providing access to more information for more people. Making library collections more accessible can only help us fulfill our mission as libraries."
WorldCat Discovery Services brings together access for all electronic, digital and physical collections in a single interface, optimized for use across desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. It is initially available to all current FirstSearch subscribers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand as part of existing subscriptions. It will be available in EMEA soon.
"Libraries can choose how they implement WorldCat Discovery—whether it is solely for access to WorldCat, as a secondary discovery option, or as their primary, full-featured discovery service."
WorldCat Discovery includes:
- A new discovery experience that consolidates access to your electronic, physical and digital collections
- Access to a central index that represents more than 1.5 billion articles, e-books and other e-content
- An interface that automatically adjusts for desktops, tablets and mobile devices
- Tools to showcase and manage your local special collections
- A unique URL and custom branding
- The ability to tailor your discovery service through fee-based options.
If you maintain holdings in WorldCat through a cataloging subscription, you receive additional benefits and features with the service:
- Your library's resources listed first in search results
- Visibility on WorldCat.org and other partner sites.
Libraries that have also implemented the WorldCat knowledge base receive:
- Built-in link resolution to full-text resources to which your library subscribes
- A built-in A to Z list with your library's data in the WorldCat knowledge base.
FirstSearch will operate in parallel with WorldCat Discovery during a transition that will last through December 2015, allowing libraries to choose their transition timing. Libraries can also choose how they implement WorldCat Discovery—whether it is solely for access to WorldCat, as a secondary discovery option or as their primary, full-featured discovery service. Additional fee-based options are available to tailor the service to meet your library's specific needs.
WorldCat Local and WorldShare Management Services libraries are encouraged to join a beta going on now, to give feedback on the optional functionality.
Libraries can start their transition to WorldCat Discovery or start a new subscription on the OCLC website.
Introducing the world's first cooperatively managed knowledge base
OCLC is introducing cooperative data management features to the WorldCat knowledge base, a database of electronic resources and linking features. The new features will be phased in this year and allow member libraries to make changes and add new records and collections to the knowledge base.
Previously, the knowledge base was managed solely by OCLC, which reached out to content providers, normalized data about e-collections and fed it into the knowledge base and out to libraries. OCLC will continue to maintain global knowledge base data, but now in partnership with the library community, which will be able to participate in data quality assurance and maintenance.
Several users requested the ability to contribute data and make changes to global knowledge base collections. As a cooperative with a long-standing tradition of relying on the expert community for cataloging, making the knowledge base cooperatively managed is a positive future direction and one that will help create efficiencies for everyone in the community while improving data quality for all.
The new features:
- Phase 1: Available now, member libraries approve/deny changes before they are made
- Phase 2: Available now, member libraries can make changes to existing knowledge base records
- Phase 3: Coming in the third quarter of 2014, member libraries will be able to add new records and collections to the knowledge base.

It looks that many people these days are obsessed with getting nutrients in their diet. Last year, Americans spent more than $56 billion on dietary supplements, fortified foods, and functional foods and beverages, according to Nutrition Business Journal and the Natural Marketing Institute. Even foods like snacks and sodas now seem to be fortified with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that I have never heard of before. Do we really get a great benefit from these added nutrients?
Every month Jon and I received a copy of Experience Life Magazine from the gym we belong to and this month it has a very interesting article about how beneficial these isolated nutrients really are. I was not surprised to read that whole foods are more beneficial to our body than isolated nutrients. What really caught my attention was to read about the explanation some scientists give to this conclusion. Kevin Spelman, a research scientist in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and an expert in plant chemistry and its biological effects, says:
The idea that one isolated nutrient will change the body in a positive way is a bit naïve. The body's biology is an ecosystem — throw in too many rabbits and you'll disrupt the system in ways you couldn't have predicted.
Click here to read the whole article.
One of the very few things I can brag about is my health and I have my parents to thank for that. They always made me eat whole foods. Our breakfasts always included a big bowl of fruit and homemade yogurt and our dinners, salads and vegetable dishes. There was always fruit for snacks (in the summer my dad used to buy one 50-lb box of mangos per week. My mom and I ate most of them)
Now that I am getting more conscious about health issues, whole foods are playing a very important part. That's why I have been changing some of my typical too-salty or too-sweet snacks to natural, whole foods. Have you ever tried grated carrots with lime juice and powder chili? This is one of my favorite daytime snacks. They are delicious and the best part is that carrots are packed with health benefits. You can read more about these benefits on World's Healthiest Foods website.
So I rather eat the whole thing, than wasting a lot of money on dietary supplements.

The following diagram shows how efficient the tested cooling systems are:
It is clear that the Deepcool Dracula is a highly efficient solution but using two 92mm fans with more focused air flow is no better in terms of efficiency than two 120mm fans. The Dracula is as good as the Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 and better than the MSI Twin Frozr IV in terms of GPU temperature. As for the temperature of the power components, it is inferior to the MSI but better than the Arctic. The difference from the other solutions isn't large, though. The most important thing is that the Dracula can cope with a well-overclocked Radeon HD 7970 even at the minimum speed of the fans and irrespective of what fans you use (two 92mm fans at 1000 RPM or two 120mm fans at 800 RPM).
As for the noise factor, the Dracula comes without fans, so it is not quite correct to compare it with the Arctic or MSI in this respect. The user himself can choose suitable fans and install them using the universal fastener. The Deepcool UF series fans we used in our test are rather quiet but expensive, so you may want to prefer something cheaper, especially as the Dracula itself isn't cheap. The free choice of fans and the easy way of replacing them are an indisputable advantage of the Dracula.
The arrival of the new generation of AMD-based graphics cards with higher clock rates and increased heat dissipation does not pose any problem for the new revision of the Deepcool Dracula cooler. It can still deliver devilishly high performance and can cope with overclocked top-end graphics cards at the minimum speed of its fans. In fact, we can only find two things about the new Dracula that we wish were different. It is quite expensive ($75 for a heatsink without any fans) and it blocks three adjacent expansion slots on the mainboard. It's up to you to decide whether these are really serious issues for your specific case. Otherwise, the Dracula is a highly efficient cooler which is easy to install and has a reliable fastening mechanism.
How could it be improved further in the next revision? Well, we guess a better finish of the base would be appropriate for open-die GPUs. Wire brackets for installing fans right onto the heatsink, like in the V6000 model for example, could also come in very handy.

I had a very rough stretch of family tradgedies a few months after the release of the Wildflowers album. It included losing my brother to alcoholism before his 45th birthday, and my mom passing away from pancreatic cancer. Obviously, a challenging time for anyone, particularly my brother and mom. While I ultimately lost both of them to these terrible diseases there was clearly "A time to move on" while honoring their memory. The words and music reminded me there would be a better tomorrow and my family would not me to wallow in despair over there deaths. I cried on airplanes while playing the song over & over to keep my spirits up while visiting my mom in the hospital and ultimately hospice. The song still resonates with me during any challenging time in my life.

Chris Taylor and the crew at Gas Powered Games are at it again. The studio famous for Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, and Dungeon Siege are combining those genres into something new, and are looking towards the fans to make it happen. Wildman is an "evolutionary" action-RPG now on Kickstarter that features the action-RPG elements of Dungeon Siege, the RTS parts of Supreme Commander, and even the MOBA aspects of Demigod. Sounds interesting, doesn't it?
In Wildman, your hero, the title character, can drop into War Zones to fight battles alongside your troops. You support them with your abilities and skills, shapeshift into a different form with unique abilities, and even upgrade your troops and build defenses. Eventually you square off against the enemy champion, and once he is defeated, the battle is yours. But that's not all Wildman has to offer.
When you aren't in a War Zone, you head off for adventure like any other action-RPG. There are dungeons to explore, mysteries to discover, weapons and armor to equip, skills to train, and items to craft. It sounds like the best of both worlds really, with GPG describing it as: "fast-paced combat that tests your reflexes and deep role-playing that rewards strategic thinking."
Since Wildman is a Kickstarter game, there are a multitude of rewards tiers for donators to consider, with $20 as the start point for a digital copy of Wildman. The $30 tier includes the game's soundtrack composed by Jeremy Soule (The Elder Scrolls, Supreme Commander, Dungeon Siege) and an extra copy of the game. An early backer reward is available for the first 5,000 at $45, which includes everything in the $60 Digital Collector's Edition tier at a discount. There's still some 4,400 spots left for that early reward, but don't delay too long if you're considering.
Other tiers include bigger rewards, like a boxed copy of the Collector's Edition for $150 (or $125 for the first 500) and the Signature Edition at $500, which has an artist-signed print of Wildman and dev team signatures on the development book, poster, and game box. A launch party invitation is included at the $10,000 tier, with ones below offering everything from personalized weapons, t-shirts, extra game copies, and even a day with Chris Taylor and the team at GPG.
Wildman's Kickstarter goal is $1,100,000 and ends on February 15 at 9pm EST. The pledged amount so far is already over $50,000, so head on over to the Kickstarter page and donate to get this game funded!

WHITE PLAINS - A trial in the Corridor of Corruption case may be put on hold if the lawyer for one of the defendants has his way.
Sen. Malcolm Smith is among the defendants in a federal corruption case that also involves officials from Rockland County. During a court appearance in White Plains, Smith's lawyer asked that the trial be put off until after this year's primary election because his client is seeking re-election.
It's alleged that Smith, a Democrat, was at the center of a bribery scheme to secure him the Republican nomination for New York mayor.
While no decision has been made yet, the lawyer for ex-Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmine said he does not object to a delay.
Jasmine and five other political leaders were arrested last April, accused of scheming to buy Democratic Queens state Sen. Malcolm Smith a Republican line on the New York mayoral ballot. Jasmine and former Deputy Mayor Joseph Desmaret were charged with accepting bribes in exchange for supporting a phony real estate deal connected with the alleged scheme. Desmaret has already pleaded guilty to mail fraud and extortion.

Since the wedding is spanish victorian themed, I thought I would do my hair something that looked victorian like this:
And I thought I would do my eye makeup like this with shades of silver and copper/brown and long (false) eyelashes, and I think a light rosybrown lip and light rosybrown cheeks.

Our cake is being made by Simply Cakes in Riverside County. It is going to be a variation of this cake that I found searching the web and just fell in love with. It will have the square boxes and the different roses and will have the ribbon and all will be in shades of white and ivory. But it wont have the birds or butterflies, instead our cake topper is going to have love birds in ivory (it is the cake topper from my parent's wedding).
And it will sit atop an antique silver cake stand like the cake in this pic and the roses will be more like these roses and be more in this white shade with ivory:
I'm looking forward to our wedding cake!
