1968 Barolo Giacomo Conterno
Bt (75cl)
Bt (75cl)
0 immediate, 4 marketplace
For any wine collector, Giacomo Conterno is a name that makes you sit up straight and pay attention. Widely acknowledged as the most majestic examples of traditional Barolo, these wines are some of the most thought provoking heavy-hitters known to the wine world. Power, massive structure, richness tempered with delicacy and the ability to age beautifully for 30+ years are just some of the reasons for Conterno's world-class reputation.
The winery, established in 1908, initially conformed to the way other producers in the region made Barolo; in cask or demijohn suitable for early consumption. In the 1920s Giacomo Conterno set his sights on making a higher quality Barolo that could age for decades. He started by extending maceration periods extensively and began aging his wines in large wooden botti. The shift in quality kept the winery afloat during difficult economic times and eventually led to the ability to purchase the Cascina Francia vineyard in the 1970s.
Cascina Francia is one of Piedmont's greatest sites and the exclusive source of Conterno's Baroli – Monfortino and Cascina Francia. The densely planted 14 hectare site boasts southwest exposure and sits 4,000 metres above sea level, offering ideal conditions for deep tannins and big, ripe acidity. This vineyard is the key in producing Conterno's powerful, age-worthy style of Barolo.
In great vintages, Barolo Monfortino Riserva is made from a selection of the best fruit. It is vinified differently than Cascina Francia, first undergoing an uncontrolled fermentation at a high temperature, followed by an additional three years of maturation in cask. Antonio Galloni remarks "Baroli Cascina Francia and Monfortino... rightly considered by most observers as among the most profound wines in the world."
Today, the winery is run by Roberto Conterno, who benefits from the wisdom and legacy of his late father, Giovanni, and grandfather, Giacomo. The winemaking is still rigorously traditional with long fermentations followed by periods of 7+ years in cask, practices reminiscent of other great Italian producers Gianfranco Soldera and Giuseppe Quintarelli. This powerful style of Barolo continues to shock and amaze those lucky enough to open them.
Made in tiny quantities of only around 1,000 cases per year, this is a hugely desirable and collectable wine with a rarity factor similar to Petrus in Bordeaux and Domaine Romanée Conti in Burgundy. Highly rated by Antonio Galloni, the vintages 2010, 2004, 1999, 1978 and 1970 are among some of the most sought after wines in the world.

idrinkwine732's One Thread to Rule Them All Part II: Thread Harder
♫ Oh it's the most wonderful time of the year ♫
So, this is hands down one of my favorite times of the year as a frequent poster on various blogs, metal forums, etc. I love just sitting down with raw opinion and sorting through the differences from my own, stimulating discussion and anger alike each and every year. However, what happens every year at New Years on Metalsetlists is something special, we argue a lot less and end up with a lot more compliments year end and year out than insults. And to that, I'd like to say kudos to each and every one of you that make this community awesome.
Now, the mushy stuff's all over, so onto 2011. 2011 was a massive overhaul for me, I went to college and found the most kick ass girlfriend, I got a really cool job and I found a great circle of friends to call my own. My 2011 in metal was a constant, however, with my year end result in taste and appreciation similar to 2010. Still, I am a massive fan of the material released this year, and with a stark contrast in each album in my top 10, it just sunk in to me how awesome this year really was.
So, onto what I'll be doing here. I'll be doing a quick top 50 with blurbs of increasing size over the course of the next week, while also sharing my opinions on the best EP, Album Arts, Surprises, Letdowns, a few honorable mentions, and of course the best shows I attended in 2011. So stick with me, the year end list month of metalsetlists is almost over, but I want to throw my hat in the ring.
Before I get this started, I listened to a total of 124 albums this year, and my top 50 is representative of how killer everything was. Just because 50 is all the way down at 50 doesn't mean that it isn't a kick ass album. In fact, it was above the upper half of the albums I listened to. Also, keep in mind that the difference between 38 and 44 isn't very large, considering the volume. So turn that frown upside down and let's get started.
50. Origin - Entity
Throughout my relatively short time as an avid listener of death metal, I realized that its technical counterpart walks a very very fine line throughout the genre. You have your mindless "wankery" of a band like Brain Drill and you have your "technical" bands like the Faceless whose occasional sweep apparently makes their material technical. I've always considered Origin to be more on the less technical side of the tech death spectrum, but their 2011 release Entity starts out with a nauseating series of scales and sweeps that were immediately frustrating. However, throughout the course of this 36 minute beast, Origin display their brand of vocally and instrumentally varied death metal that reminded me that there is still a lot of use in this genre.
49. 417.3 - _(-_-)_
Yeah. You read that right. I know it's a sickening amount of numbers, but this band really puts themselves together as a post-rock outfit. As one of the sixty million post-rock bands from Russia, it's very easy to listen to 417.3 and discard them as a more cookie cutter group, but they intrigued me early on with a minimalist mood that brought me back to listening to more of a Yo-Yo Ma type outfit. The cello's intertwining notes with the light guitar picking in songs like 5 are a soothing mixture that many other cello based post rock bands turn into a runny eggs-esque sound. Sure, it's the basic crescendoing and spiraling upward, but god damnit this band just does it better than everyone else.
48. Miasmal - Miasmal
As I staggered away from their MDF performance, I made a mental note to check out the new record of 4 Swedish kids that I just saw tear up the stage. Clocking in at just over an hour, Miasmal's self titled really sets itself apart from the pack, creating a longer and more sustained death/thrash attack than their counterparts in the genre. Just when you think a guitar part is going to speed up, it slows down and just when you think that thrash break is going to end, it keeps on kicking. For a four piece out of Gothenburg, I went into this album thinking I knew every turn that it was going to make, but Miasmal created an effort that takes a series of left turns where every other death metal band went the other way.
47. Septic Flesh - The Great Mass
After having my eardrums blown off by 2008's Communion, the new album from Greek death metallers Septic Flesh was one of my most anticipated albums of 2011. The Great Mass continues in the same vein that Communion did, with its symphonic undertone keeping me feeling like I was listening to death metal made for a thriller movie. However, there was a creeping realization that made me feel very old throughout the album. The riffs just weren't as good as the last one. I sat listening to Communion thinking "how didn't anyone else think of that before?" back when I was just a wee little metal listener, and I sat listening to the Great Mass thinking "They thought of that before." This album is probably the first in a series of albums that I really wanted to like a lot more than I did.
46. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
How I felt about Foo Fighters going into the year was a really weird feeling for me. I wanted to be behind Grohl and Co. a lot more than their music was making me be. I always liked their self titled and the massively popular The Colour and the Shape, but Dave Grohl's awesomeness really made me want him to release an album that I loved. The Foo Fighters came pretty damn close with Wasting Light. The cutting and catchy main riff in White Limo, coupled with the unorthodox vocal production made my foot irresistible to tapping. Rope, a song much more in Foo Fighter's main vein, also provided the enjoyable piece that made me feel like I was actually sort of getting what everyone was saying about this album. Definitely one of the more fun albums out of the year.
45. Bloodiest - Descent
As much as I love getting my hands on a totally weird album, Illinois' Bloodiest's debut Descent, might have been a little bit too out of left field for me. With a sterling recommendation from Illuminatus, I was quick to check this one out, and its tremolo picking out of the gate made me begin to gush. My gushing quickly turned to a little bit of a question mark around Coh, where I felt like I was listening to the musical equivalent of a square peg going into a round hole. The Billy Anderson-esque production style coupled with the crowing call of vocalist Bruce Lamont made me feel like this is an album to be sipped like a fine wine. I still haven't wrapped my mind around it almost 5 months later, but there is no denying the oddity of Descent.
44. Grayceon - All We Destroy
Along with the Great Mass, cello metallers Grayceon's follow up to 2008's stunning This Grand Show was a heavily anticipated album. Being one of the two San Francisco gems I truly regret not seeing before I departed the fine area, the excellence of this album really took a toll on me. As I started hearing the peculiar eastern influences in the beginning of Shellmounds and the spine shivering gang vocals featured on We Can, I realized that they had topped one of my favorite local efforts, the aforementioned This Grand Show, with All We Destroy. With the Jackie Perez Gratz delivering the rarely seen excellent vocal performance, Grayceon created an album that rightly should place them near the top of the bursting-with-excellence San Francisco metal scene.
43. This Will Destroy You - Tunnel Blanket
I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase turn against a band like This Will Destroy You after they released Tunnel Blanket. Highly anticipated after their self titled, Tunnel Blanket disappointed many with a departure from their focused style of heavier post-rock. I believe I'm in the minority when I say that Tunnel Blanket is a great album, and the 12 minute epic of an opener, Little Smoke, absolutely blew my socks off on first listen. I immediately anointed it my favorite album of 2011 thus far, and considered it to be their best work. I was drawn to its ethereal and minimalist production style, while still being equally as massive although much more atmospheric. As the album sunk in though, I realized that its substance was based around a drawn out and failed attempt at an aesthetic I couldn't quite put my finger on. It began to feel like it has the traits of a failed effort instead of an intentional foray into something new. Still, it puts on a show unlike most post-rock albums managed to this year.
42. Assaulter - Boundless!
I'm going to be honest. I checked this album out purely because it was listed as Death/Thrash and it had an exclamation point in the title. The combination of the two were enough to raise my eyebrow for me to take it on and boy am I glad. Boundless! is the Australian baby of a black/thrash band with a traditional heavy metal curve to it that brings out a very fun feeling. It has the thrash edge that makes you want to drink and sing along with your buddies and the black edge reminiscent of Aura Noir. For such a unique attempt at a sound, Boundless! is much more of a success than it will get credit for.
41. Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand
I've never played Skyrim or any of the Elder Scrolls games before, but every time I see it, I think "man, I really wanna listen to Primordial and play that game." Let's cut the bullshit, you knew what you were getting with this album. You knew you were going to get that folky black metal album that made your Irish roots, whether you have them or not, jump with joy inside of you. Nemtheanga sounds as if he recorded this album inside a castle in a fuckin' castle in Dublin, and the band's roots to traditional Celtic music are as pure as always. I feel like it cheats other albums, having this listed on the top 50, because in reality, it should be assumed that Primordial are going to release one of the better albums of the year.
Also, if you say you didn't sing along to at least one part of this album throughout a listen, then you're a god damn liar.
You've got Grayceon and Bloodiest too low. Also, if I remember correctly you had Scurrilous and Lapsus below the Origin album in one of your early installments of your 2011 list, so either they moved up, or I have some ass kicking to do...
1/14 High on Fire
1/24 Ash Borer
2/4 BlackStorm Fest ft. Uada, Horrid, +more
2/8 Necrot
I can understand Bloodiest being this low on the list. I feel I liked the album more than I should've, for whatever reason.
Never whistle while you're pissing.

Funny thing is, I haven't yet found a clear definition of Jin Jun Mei, after talking with a bunch of Fujian tea people. I'm still looking for a definition, if there is ever one The "creator" of Jin Jun Mei tried to register it as a trade mark, but the application was rejected, partially because other people are making Jin Jun Mei too, and the applicant's technique is not considered distinguishable enough to get trademarked.
Some say any tea sold below $1000 per 500g (Chinese market price) can't be Jin Jun Mei. Some say the threshold is $3000, and some say it could be $300. But even if any of them is "right", price is not enough to define what it is.
I've heard some people take tender tea buds from Yunnan and make them into fake Jin Jun Mei. I hope to find some and somehow I have been suspecting I would probably like this fake Jin Jun Mei better than the "real" one, even if the "real" one can be defined

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Certainly not flat, but a great race, lovely atmosphere. I'll be back!In full: Lovely village, great pub and farmers' market. Race well marshalled & organised. Yes, there were ups, but there was also a nice stretch of flat/downhill to compensate. T-shirt and a medal was unexpected. Jolly good value.Date of review: June 13, 2010
In short: A tough race, but great value & wonderful marshalling. Thanks!Date of review: August 23, 2009
In short: Fab race, flat, good t-shirt, great organisation & support. Recommended!Date of review: June 14, 2009
In short: Great race, well marshalled.In full: Haven't raced this far for a long time, but really enjoyed today. Nice cool weather with a sprinkle of rain to cool you down. Marshalling was great - I'd like to thank the 2 ladies near the 8 mile marker particularly - your support was very cheering & welcome! The hill got steeper the 2nd time around, but there are nice downhill/flat bits to counteract it. I would appreciate it, though, if the hill up to the finish line could be flattened for next time. Date of review: July 20, 2008
In short: Great race, marshals were very good, can we have less wind next time?In full: I found the race a bit tough due to the wind (weather, not mine), but still managed a good time. Many thanks to all the marshals, there were some tricky bits (crossroad with the traffic lights, petrol station), but you managed them wonderfully. I liked the sweeties at the end! Great race.Date of review: June 22, 2008
In short: Great race, fab marshalls, lovely park setting for start/finish.Date of review: June 16, 2008
In short: Very tough, but a great atmosphere and very well organised.Date of review: June 1, 2008
In short: Wonderful race, you get so much for your entry fee!In full: The sun was a bit fierce, which made it a tough one, and it was a bit up & down in the first couple of miles, but I wouldn't have missed this race for anything. The technical race t-shirt is lovely - a choice of 2 colours, and sizing that actually fits. Plus there were free fleeces if you got there early enough. The support along the route was good - and the cheers at the start were deafening. A nice goody bag with a water bottle and a quality medal. Plus a whole tray of yoghurts.This is a very beginner-friendly race - plenty of people over an hour. And very well organised road closures. I will be back!Date of review: May 11, 2008
In short: Well organised, great flat race. Shame about the ladies' toilets.In full: No complaints about the race itself; although I didn't hear the start announced, it wasn't a problem - if everyone else starts running, you do too! Nicely designed t-shirt, and a good flat course. A wee bit windy this year, but at least it didn't snow. The only let-down was the fact that the only ladies' loo I could find before the start was a *single* cubicle, with a queue of about 30 ladies! I did discover after the race that there were other toilets, but they need better signposting. Parking was not a problem if you got there in plenty of time.Date of review: February 4, 2008
In short: Great atmosphere, fantastic marshalls, nice and short!Date of review: October 8, 2007

I would personally suggest something in the 14 oz range for that size. Ed's (VCB's) latest recipe calls for 15.5 oz of dough for that size. IMO, 20 oz. is a bit of a bread bomb, but a lot of people like it that way.Good luck!Garvey
OK thanks. What TF is considered an average for Chicago DD?

5 Reasons to Just Surrender to Holiday Radio Now
We've been writing about radio's holiday creep since at least 2009 and have noticed one clear pattern in each year's coverage: Each year the songs come earlier and the volume of the complaints against them gets a little softer. At one point, we could rely on the folks at MediaBase to keep track of just how many times radio stations across the country would play a particular holiday song. In 2011, they just stopped doing it.
We can't blame them. The Top 10 never really changes and, regardless of where they place, you just know that each year Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas, Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You, Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song, Bobby Helms' Jingle Bell Rock, Andy Williams' Most Wonderful Time of the Year and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Happy Xmas/War Is Over are going to be played 18,000 to 20,000 times on stations across the U.S. between Dec. 1-25 alone. That's more than 30 times per hour, which means a whole lot of overlap for songs of this length.
Last year, KYXE-FM 104.9 in Yakima, Wash., started decking the halls on Oct. 10 by launching its "North Pole Radio" on a new FM signal. This year, Syracuse's HOLLY-FM 95.3 and 103.9 went on the air with 24/7 Christmas music on Oct. 5.
"I went into Target, actually in August, looking for stuff for my daughter to go away for college and I look over and there's a section of Christmas stuff," station manager Sam Furco told Newhouse Communications Center News. "I thought of the idea if Target
Why not, indeed? The entire reason Furco is hearing Christmas songs in those retail outlets so early is because radio research firm Arbitron
Does it get a bit repetitive? Yes. Andrew Forsyth, a consultant for Nielsen
In fact, we came up with five reasons why you should not only stop complaining about all-holiday radio, but realize that the actions of you and everyone around you make it possible:
5. You're already in the holiday spirit
The reason Furco is hearing holiday music in Target and Wal-Mart and seeing holiday items on shelves and displays is because U.S. shoppers have already begun shopping.
According to Google
That's with good reason. The 2013 calendar has six fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas than last year. If you held off until November to do Christmas shopping last year and employed the same strategy this year, you're already a week behind.

You get used to seeing and hearing all sorts of potentially contradictory, cross-cultural things in New York. Yesterday, while the press was cooling its heels on one of the buses near St. Joseph's Church, waiting for the Secret Service to "sweep" the church before the ecumenical service, a man approached the intersection of 87th and York. He was wearing lederhosen and a Tyrolean hat and carrying bagpipes – on which he played "Hava Nagila," the Hebrew folk song associated with group dancing at wedding. Only in New York??

The good thing about HK is we get well-aged, traditionally-stored shu house blends everywhere, and they work out a lot cheaper than Starbucks! I still have to try some good, aged cheng cha: do I dare?
Even if we do go fancy, Taobao and the markets in China have us covered. I'm not ready to buy cakes just yet as there is a ton to learn, but I may have to make a trip to Yun'nan at some point. For now, I'm just enjoying the freedom to sample tons of different teas for not much money or effort! There are still two tea dealers within throwing distance of my place that I haven't checked out yet!
I looked at my simple collection of porcelain and the large bag full of tea I've accumulated in a few weeks, and decided to take a little break from purchasing, get more work done and put a dent in the stash. lol. I've been drinking 4-5 varieties a day!
Really enjoying this TGY I picked up yesterday. Really fragrant and tasty with classic TGY flavor and definitely has the bittersweet character I've read it should have!

text: This is going to be the year we take a WR in the first round. Our offense has a big redzone threat in Gronk, a versatile x-factor in AHern, a great slot receiver in Welker (who is a Free Agent anyways), and a possession guy in Lloyd. What this offense is missing, and has been lacking since Moss was traded, is a speedy deep threat. Da'Rick Rogers, another WR prospect that the Patriots should be looking at. He plays in a west coast offense. Makes plays on short-intermediate routes, but can also go deep. Fearless going over the middle. Excellent body control. Plays with an edge/attitude. Gains a lot of yards after the catch. Big target for QBs. Doesn't play against the best competition in college though. Da'Rick Rogers 2011 Highlights - YouTube

I am teetering towards being a little overwhelmed with blog material. Some of which is going to be difficult to write, however worthwhile. My son is becoming more aware of our circumstances, and asking more questions all the time. It is great that he can, and that he is comfortable asking, but it does take quite a bit out of me to provide reasoned and appropriate responses. So I am struggling to build up enough steam to write about these moments.
There has also been a bit going on that I have not kept on top of. Getting official acceptance into the school, and the swift realisation that our lives, and some around us, are due to change in the all too soon. And I do not beleive I even blogged about his nursery review wotsit, nor the reports on getting more men into primary child care.
And I am sure that blogging about a lady who discovered I was a widower, by asking me if my wife had suggested I get a vaesectomy, would go down reasonably well too.
Plus I have a tonne of topics scribbled
somewhere amongst my well maintained blogging notes.
However I was tagged by AModernMother recently, and by Yummy Mammy, but the laters was a meme thing for mommies, and while I enjoy the sentiment, I am not a mother (That's a post, all of its own btw).
And thought this might be a welcome relief, rather than the usual pain in the bottom, so I have chosen to partake, albeit half-heartedly (I won't be tagging anyone else).
Thus, questions to answer about oneself, are as follows;
1. What are your current obsessions?
The Inbetweeners and Twitter
2. Which item from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
My crown jewel pants (knickers).
3. What's for dinner?
Take away for me, my sister is buying. Sausage and mash for Max.
4. Last thing you bought?
An aluminium stag's head.
5. What are you listening to?
Chart stuff, loads of RnB for some reason. Tinchy Stryder is hilarious.
6. If you were a god/goddess who would you be?
Socrates – Love him when he played for Brazil in the 1986 World Cup.
7. Favourite holiday spots?
North Wales (Most visited)
Barcelona, San Diego, Rome, Sicily, Sardinia.
8. Reading right now?
Question number 8.
9. Four words to describe yourself.
Calm, Tall, Smiley, Lackadaisical.
10. Guilty pleasure?
Swizzles Matlow.
11. Who or what makes you laugh until you're weak?
The Inbetweeners. I have to have my inhaler nearby if I am watching stuff like this.
12. Favourite spring thing to do?
This year, planting potato tubers with my boy.
13. Planning to travel to next?
North Wales (see 7).
14. Best thing you ate or drank lately?
Had a cracking piece of cow at the village pub, part of my birthday shenanigans.
15. When did you last get tipsy?
Two Saturdays back. Went with a bus load of chums to watch a football match, had a good few drinks either side of said match.
16. Favourite ever film?
So many, but probably Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope.
17. Care to share some wisdom?
18. Song you have most enjoyed this year?
For Winter, by Daniel Merriweather. I really like this one, and was a great listen when it was cold and drab outside earlier this year, sadly I don't think it will make his album, if indeed, that ever comes out.
19. How is it possible to encourage a gaggle of women to chase after you, without being Brad Pitt?
Continue your brisk walk out of the supermarket even when the security alarms go off.
The rules were I got 18 questions, I had to change one, and add a question in, passing the meme onto eight others.
And as I am such a rebel........................
Either that or just following another rebel's lead.

Good luck with the school thing, it's a big change but really good once you realise how much they love it. Dying to hear about Vasectomy woman!!

SciFi Dad - Yep.
Tismee - You do now. But Parma Violets are the only things they make that I am not in love with.
T - It does, and it is going up over my bed tomorrow.
Potty Mummy - Indeed. I've over egged this story I feel.
A Modern Mother - Will do. I only spent a few days there, but loved it. A brilliant city, on the coast, with sports coming out of its ears.
Mommasunshine - Thanks, glad you giggled.
The Dotterel - You can, but fear it may now not live up to its billing.

I'd go with Episode IV over V, too. For many years, I thought Empire was better...but as I've watched each of the six movies repeatedly with my son, I've come to love the original more than all of the others. In fact, Empire has gotten less play than the other five movies.

You need someone to help you with your hurting child but you don't want to trust just anyone. Treating hurt children requires extensive training beyond what most therapists get in school. I have trained with some of the best in the world when it comes to working with abuse and attachment issues in children. Treatment often involves working with both the parent and the child together to form the secure relationship that will help the child heal. You child and his/her issues are unique and they need to be treated as such. Treatment involves ongoing assessment and collaboration with you and your child to ensure the best results.

Some of the best, worst of the week
Here are some of the best – and worst – of the week:
GREAT LAKE EXPERIENCE – Today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Great Lakes Experience will host its first festival in Dunkirk. The festival will focus on the environment and ecology of the Great Lakes and the heritage of our region. There will be free environmental exhibitors, live animals, interactive displays and lots of information about habitat, ecology, science, recreation and fun! Admission is free. Come out and see what our area has to offer.
STATE CHAMPIONS – Congratulations to the Fredonia Hillbillies baseball team. Last weekend, the team captured its first state title since 2006. It was a heck of a ride. The hard work and dedication of the students paid off. When you work together as a team, there's no telling how far you can go.
DUNKIRK POLL SITES – At the last school election, Dunkirk voters were asked if they supported consolidating the poll sites from four to one location. Residents overwhelmingly backed the proposal, voting 208 to 62. Next year, elections will take place at the high school. This move will save the school district money as well as time. It was the right decision.
DOG WASTE – We know Sunset Bay isn't the only place this happens, but earlier this week, Hanover officials discussed the problem of people not cleaning up after walking their dogs. "It's bad down there sometimes, you really have to look where you're walking," said Highway Superintendent Steve D'Angelo. There's no reason for this. If you have a dog and you're taking it out on public property, clean up after it. Let's keep our community clean.

Quality is best
To the Journal editor:
Let me begin by saying I was born in the Upper Peninsula and I'm still here, now 59 years old. I have always been the guy who would never draw attention to himself. I probably would have never in my life made any disruption. Sometimes in life though, you are given an opportunity to say your piece about something you are qualified to talk about.
I recently purchased a … piece of equipment and was assured that the engine they recommend would be fine. I was skeptical and stated such several times during the ordering process.
What I received was an engine made in China. OK, I did agree to order it with reservations. As I said earlier, I'm 59, I well remember when the influx of Japanese products hit our markets in the 1960s. People made fun of their products because they would fall apart or stop working in a very short time.
Now, Japan makes the best motors in the world because they have pride and were insulted when we laughed at them. The Chinese have no such pride in their goods. So, I know engines and know national quality standards. And they are laughing at me and I don't like it.
After a while working with something, you know to hear and feel your equipment. You can sense a problem as it emerges. You "feel" it.
I know my facts inside and out, have owned and repaired them for 40-plus years. How many of you have a lawnmower or a leaf blower or other stuff that died in the first year of service? Will you buy the same model again in the spring? Probably.
I have engines that are 30 or more years old and still function well. They weren't made in China. What happened to the America I could be proud of?
To the salesman I chewed out, I'm sorry. You didn't know any better. But now you do, maybe one salesman will never sell another one. I can hope.

Around half of nurses and midwives report workplace aggression in the past month: 36% report violence from patients or visitors and 32% report bullying by colleagues
- Southern Cross University, Lismore, New South Wales, Australia

Southern Cross University, PO Box 157, Lismore, New South Wales 2480, Australia; marie.hutchinson{at}scu.edu.au
Commentary on: Farrell GA, Shafiei T. Workplace aggression, including bullying in nursing and midwifery: a descriptive survey (the SWAB study). Int J Nurs Stud 2012;49:1423–31.
Implications for practice and research
Interventions are needed to help work teams recognise the signs of bullying and take steps to address the behaviour.
Continued attention is required to address organisational responses and protective systems for occupational violence (OV) and workplace bullying (WB).
Further research is required with nurses exposed to OV and WB to establish the efficacy of intervention programmes and nurses satisfaction with these programmes.
Workplace violence in its various forms is an issue of major concern to nursing. Over the course of their working life, few nurses escape this violence, and many are vulnerable to harm or injury stemming from exposure.1 Though a growing body of research has drawn attention to the many forms of violence and aggression experienced by nurses, there is …

What are the differences between polyamory and polygamy?
Under 18? Stop listening now and visit http://www.scarleteen.com

- Kick ass birthday with bucakke (bukakke cake!), rope, bruises and hot tub
- What your porn says about you
- Thanks to The Line for interviewing me for Badass Activist Friday!
10:10 Topic: Polyamory vs Polygamy
First, there is a great rundown of polyamory, including an interview with several poly enclaves, in the Winnipeg Free Press. That article on polyamory vs polygamy: "Polyamoury, for the record, is quite distinct from polygamy, which, thanks to TV shows such as the fictional drama Big Love and the reality series Sister Wives, people tend to associate with fundamentalist Mormons who practise plural marriage… Polyamorous relationships are post-modern, secular, egalitarian and consensual."
Next, check out this Slate article asking whether polygamy as it is traditionally practiced is good for society and does acknowledge "traditional polygamy is a pre-modern institution with religious and patriarchal roots."
Minx's take on the five primary differences between traditional polygamy and modern polyamory:
- Motive: Polyamory has no organized religion or government sanctioning it. Polyamory represents an alternative subculture, so it tends to be characterized by a thoughtful process of self-structuring rather than adopting a model prescribed by religion or the state.
- Power structure: Polyamory has less tendency toward patriarchy. The pioneers of the poly movement have primarily been women, and there is a generally-accepted undercurrent of egalitarianism (apart from D/s relationships). It's not unusual for a woman to be the head of the household and the point of the romantic/sexual vee.
- Acceptance of diversity: More sexual orientations are welcome. Those practicing polyamory are more likely to welcome gay, bi, lesbian, queer and transgendered folks rather than condemn them. There is an acceptance of the value of diversity of sexual preferences and sexual needs.
- Full consent of all parties involved. Some may disagree, but I would argue that both religion and state sponsorship hinder full consent.
- Lots of communication and negotiation. Since polyamory is not a given and has no prescribed models, everything can and must be negotiated.
25:10 Feedback
- John called in to encourage folks to do the work and take the time to become proficient at being poly, just as one would practice for hours to become a virtuoso in any field.
- Andy from Michigan shared a gradual coming out story that has lead to his family slowly accepting his and his wife's OSO.

The Timarpur plant's $44.6 million price tag is a tenth of that for a comparable plant in Europe.contend that the Timarpur plant, the first fully functioning one in the country, is fouling the air even as it clears the land.
Ragpickers act as an informal recycling army in a country with almost no curbside recycling.that pays even less. Many families who remained said they took their children out of school in order to have more hands available to comb through the heaps of ash for valuable chunks of metal slag.
The plant is consuming a quarter of the trash of a city of 11 million and turning it into power.the claw delivered the trash to the incinerator, which is primed with diesel until it reaches a stable temperature of 850° C (1562° F). Superheated smoke rose up a flue surrounded by coils of water-filled pipes. The water turns to steam, which spins a turbine and creates electricity. Inside a control room, a large readout displayed the electrical output: 16 megawatt-hours, full capacity, which amounts to less than 0.3 percent of Delhi's peak energy demand.
India does not have the laws or government agencies to regulate this new sector of waste-to-energy incineration.I noticed that it was covered with a light dusting of ash from the plant.

STV prepared a feasibility study to create a more technology-friendly environment at the university, which was expanding its science program to enhance the university's student recruitment opportunities and to attract alliances with high-technology companies. Complete architectural and engineering design services were then provided by the firm for the expansion and renovation to the University's science facilities. STV worked closely with the university on this $24 million project to expand and update the current science buildings and relocate the departments in stages to ensure minimal interruption to faculty and student work. Phased construction was a key component in the building design.

Gene Expression Analysis & Genotyping
Optimized gene expression and genotyping solutions
Advanced DNA and RNA sequencing technology has created large pools of data that are being studied to better understand the meaning and consequences of variation in genomic DNA and its transcription products. We offer a broad range of strategies and solutions for investigating gene expression and genomic diversity that fit the varying needs of today's research laboratories.
Gene expression profiling ›
Genotyping and genomic profiling ›
We are committed to equipping scientists with optimized instruments, reagents, software, and services to help them advance discovery and biological understanding.
Real-time PCR is a fast, easy, and affordable technique for studying gene expression analysis and SNP genotyping. Results from microarrays and RNA sequencing are often validated using real-time PCR with TaqMan® Assays.
Fast, affordable next-generation sequencing platforms help you discover and analyze genetic variation using genomic and targeted sequencing methods. Use transcriptome sequencing to study differentially expressed genes.
Sanger sequencing is the gold-standard sequencing technique and the ultimate tool for confirming genetic variation. It also supports gene expression profiling approaches such as SAGE and high-coverage gene expression profiling (HiCEP).
Successful gene expression and genotyping studies rely on data analysis and interpretation to gain an understanding of the underlying biological relevance.
Obtain microscopic samples for precisely targeted microgenomics using our Arcturus® laser capture microdissection (LCM) tools.
Digital PCR uses molecular counting to provide highly precise and sensitive results. It is ideal for applications such as absolute quantification of differential gene expression and rare-allele detection.
Microarrays can be used to query thousands of genes simultaneously. Our sample-labeling products and reagents are designed to maximize data quality using a wide range of microarray analysis platforms.

Gloversville drug bust nets over 400 baggies of heroin
Farming under attack from lawmakers
Farming in New York state is under attack once again by people who have never set foot on a farm but think they know best how a farm should operate.
The New York Assembly, led by New York City lawmakers, passed the unnecessary Farm Workers Fair Labor Practices Act. There is already a long list of state and federal protections that oversee everything from workplace housing to health and safety standards to wages.
The Farm Labor Bill also is pushing for mandatory overtime on an individual eight-hour workday and collective bargaining. These may work for a factory, but not a family farm. If employees should choose to strike during a critical week of harvest, a year's livelihood could be lost. Our dairy cows in need of milking also would be put in harm's way.
Mother Nature dictates the work schedule, not the farmer. Overtime will force many farmers to limit workers to eight-hour shifts and seek other employees to fill in the gap.
The migrant farm workers who choose to come to this country to work hard for a given season would be shortchanged. Other farmers may simply choose to grow less labor-intensive row crops, giving up on planting fresh fruits and vegetables. The legacy and landscape of agriculture in New York will undoubtedly change.
In the end, farmers treat their employees well because it is not only the right thing to do, but because the farmers depend on their workers for important jobs. If employees were treated unfairly, they would simply find work elsewhere or not return the following year.
I encourage you to write to or call Gov. Andrew Cuomo and your state senator and explain that if this bill should pass, farmers and farm employees will be hurt.
President, Montgomery County Farm Bureau

Iron Sulfate Side Effects
Generic Name: ferrous sulfate
Note: This page contains information about the side effects of ferrous sulfate. Some of the dosage forms included on this document may not apply to the brand name Iron Sulfate.
For the Consumer
Applies to ferrous sulfate: controlled-release capsules, delayed-release tablets, enteric-coated tablets, tablets
Other dosage forms:
Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur while taking ferrous sulfate (the active ingredient contained in Iron Sulfate)
Constipation; dark or green stools; diarrhea; loss of appetite; nausea; stomach cramps, pain, or upset; vomiting.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black, tarry stools; blood or streaks of blood in the stool; fever; severe or persistent nausea, stomach pain, or vomiting; vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to ferrous sulfate: compounding powder, oral capsule extended release, oral delayed release tablet, oral elixir, oral liquid, oral syrup, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
Gastrointestinal side effects are generally dose-related and have included nausea, constipation, anorexia, heartburn, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition, stools may appear darker in color in patients taking ferrous sulfate (the active ingredient contained in Iron Sulfate)
Oral preparations of ferrous sulfate may rarely cause Hemoccult-positive stools, patients with positive tests generally require further work-up.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects are dose-related with approximately 25% of patients experiencing side effects at a dosage of 325 mg three times a day.
Gastrointestinal discomfort may be minimized by initiating ferrous sulfate therapy at smaller doses and gradually titrating upwards until the desired dose is achieved.
Administering each dose with food may also minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. However, concurrent administration of ferrous sulfate with food may decrease the amount of iron absorbed.
Due to the small amount of iron released and absorbed, the use of enteric-coated or delayed release ferrous sulfate preparations may reduce gastrointestinal side effects; however, these products are not recommended for use.
Constipation may be relieved by administering docusate sodium 100 mg to 200 mg per day in addition to increasing the intake of oral fluids, such as water.[Ref]
Other side effects have included stained teeth and iron overload (hemosiderosis). Secondary hemochromatosis due to prolonged iron ingestion has been reported rarely.[Ref]
Stained teeth have primarily occurred following ingestion of ferrous sulfate liquid preparation. Liquid dosage forms should be diluted in juice or water and sipped through a straw to aid in prevention of staining.
Iron overload (i.e., hemosiderosis) has been reported in patients genetically predisposed, or have underlying disorders, that augment the absorption of iron. It has also occurred following administration of excessive parenteral iron therapy, combination of oral and parenteral iron, or in patients with hemoglobinopathies that were erroneously diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia. Hemosiderosis is treated with repeated phlebotomy or long-term administration of deferoxamine. The liver is particularly susceptible to toxicity in iron-overload states.[Ref]
Immunologic side effects have rarely included gastroenteritis associated with Yersinia enterocolitica and Listeria monocytogenes in patients with iron overload status receiving treatment with deferoxamine.[Ref]
It has been hypothesized that gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria that become virulent in the presence of iron overload resulting in a systemic infection. Treatment consists of discontinuing deferoxamine and initiating appropriate antimicrobial therapy.[Ref]
Local side effects have included gangrene.[Ref]
Localized corrosion has been reported in a pregnant woman taking ferrous sulfate (tablet) that lodged in a Meckels diverticulum.
There have also been reports of wax-matrix ferrous sulfate tablets (delayed-release) lodging in the bowels of patients with strictures.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects have included decreased absorption of thyroxine (T4).[Ref]

A collection of our favorite mouth-watering taco stops for Cinco de Mayo.
Back in the day, the most difficult questions one would have to answer when ordering up a taco might be �Beef or chicken?� or �Hard or soft shell?� But as everyone�s favorite spicy handheld delicacy has grown in popularity, so too has its variety of preparations. Whether you prefer your tacos sweet or savory or for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, here are 20 of the best�and most unique�tacos we�ve discovered in our cross-country culinary journeys.� Baja Rock Shrimp �Skinni� Tacos Where: Tortilla Republic West Hollywood Location: West Hollywood, CA Farm-to-table fare is the focus of this West Hollywood hotspot, which cooks up modern Mexican cuisine in a sophisticated setting. Among their selection of tacos, which appear on the appetizer menu, is this tequila-battered rock shrimp taco, which is prepared with tequila passion fruit cabbage slaw, mango salsa, avocado, chipotle aioli and butter lettuce. Moroccan Lamb on Roti Where: Salvation Taco Location: New York, NY Michelin starred chef April Bloomfield has assembled an array of unexpected ingredients�house pickles, soy pickled garlic, spicy tartar sauce and marinated kimchi�at this action-packed eatery in the lobby of Manhattan�s Pod 39 Hotel. One of her most international of offerings is the Moroccan lamb taco, served on naan bread with cucumber pico de gallo and crema. Pastrami Taco [caption id="attachment_329881" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Alanna Hale[/caption] Where: Foreign Cinema Location: San Francisco, CA Situated in the heart of San Francisco�s Mission District, Foreign Cinema gives new meaning to �dinner and a movie� with a daily-changing menu of California-meets-Mediterranean bites, all set against the backdrop of an ongoing lineup of film screenings. The housemade pastrami�cured with coriander, black peppercorns, mustard seed, paprika, onion, garlic, salt and brown sugar�is part of the restaurant�s bar bites menu. Quinoa & Sweet Potato Taco [caption id="attachment_329906" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Foodspotting.com[/caption] Where: Mas Tacos Por Favor Location: Nashville, TN There�s a lot to love about this Tennessee food truck-turned-brick and mortar restaurant, including its low prices, laidback vibe, and thoughtful menu. Though the lineup of tacos changes regularly, we particularly like this incredibly satisfying vegetarian option, made with roasted tomatillo sauce, red cabbage, sour cream, cilantro and lime. Grilled Salmon Taco Where: Nada Location: Cincinnati, OH Resist the temptation to fill up on appetizers if you�re planning to order Nada�s rich and tasty take on the standard fish taco, which is topped with chipotle crema, corn pico, jalapeno, and cilantro Fried Chicken Taco [caption id="attachment_329883" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Jipsy[/caption] Where: Huahua�s Taqueria Location: Miami Beach, FL This South Beach taqueria offers a perfect apr�s-swim meal, with nearly a dozen different taco options, including a breakfast version (made with cheesy eggs, carnitas, hash browns and cilantro) and this Fried Chicken Taco, which gets topped with jalapeno cornbread, cabbage and housemade ancho ranch. And all for just $3.99. Tacos Chinos Where: The Squeaky Bean Location: Denver, CO Executive chef Theo Adley has been playing with global flavors at The Squeaky Bean, his progressive den of seasonal flavors, located in Denver�s Lower Downtown neighborhood. At the moment, he�s injecting Chinese flavors into his Tacos Chinos, which are made with pork belly, lamb lengua, hoisin and cucumber. Duck �Carnitas� Tacos Where: Bocanova Location: Oakland, CA Chef/owner Rick Hackett mixes flavors from the Mediterranean and North, Central and South America at his Pan-American dining spot, where the Duck �Carnitas� Tacos get a spicy touch with pico de gallo, avocado and chile cr�me fraiche. Fish Stick Taco Where: Odd Duck Location: Austin, TX The chefs at Austin�s Odd Duck like to utilize as much of every ingredient as they can. So they take the leftover scraps of red fish that make up another dish on the menu and turn them into the fish sticks for this nostalgic taco, which is topped with homemade slaw and sunflower seeds. The Gaucho Where: Kachina Southwestern Grill Location: Westminster, CO Diners at Kachina can partake in its extensive Navajo Taco menu, which is available at both lunch and dinner, and includes some truly unique items. There�s The Mojave, made of duck confit, pickled cactus, chipotle agave and manchego cheese, and The Gaucho, a slow-braised lamb taco with smoked tomato aioli, Brussels sprout slaw and cowboy beans. Tres Cochinitos Where: Loteria Grill Location: Various locations in Los Angeles, CA The fact that there are a half-dozen locations of Loteria Grill in the Los Angeles area should tell you something about the demand for its unique brand of Mexican eats. One of the restaurant�s most popular options across the board is chef/owner (and Mexico native) Jimmy Shaw�s Tres Cochinitos (translation: �three little pigs�), which features pork carnitas and crispy bacon with salsa, onion and cilantro, all topped with pork rinds. Pancita Tacos Where: Mercadito Locations: Chicago & New York You�ll find Mercadito�s Pancita Tacos�made with dry-roasted pork belly, rosemary, chicharron and creamy tomatillo salsa�at all of Mercadito�s locations, with slight tweaks to better reflect the geography. In Chicago, you might find some roasted apples added into the mix whereas the New York establishment prefers oranges. �Roku Style� Albacore Tacos Where: Sushi Roku Locations: Las Vegas, Scottsdale, Hollywood, Santa Monica & Pasadena No, that�s not a typo. One of the most interesting tacos we�ve stumbled across is found at a sushi restaurant, which fuses Latin American and Japanese cuisines by wrapping chunks of albacore tuna in crispy wonton wrappers, then finishing them off with creamy guacamole and a tangy Asian salsa. Prime Rib Street Tacos Where: Tii Gavo Location: Sedona, AZ Washed down with a Prickly Pear Margarita is the way that executive chef David Schmidt prefers to enjoy his zesty Prime Rib Street Tacos, which are flavored with salsa de juan, pico de gallo, shaved cabbage and cilantro. Japanese Taco [caption id="attachment_329902" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Luke Mahot[/caption] Where: The Bazaar by Jos� Andr�s Location: Miami Beach & Los Angeles Diners on both coasts have been singing the praises of renowned chef Jos� Andr�s� Japanese-style eel taco, which is prepared with shiso, cucumber, wasabi and pork chicharrones. Peking Duck Taco [caption id="attachment_329877" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Tanya Blum[/caption] Where: Bodega Negra Location: New York, NY Expect plenty of international infusions at this ode to Mexican street food in New York City�s Dream Downtown,�where a Peking Duck Taco�with mole negro, sesame seeds and kumquat morita compote�is a specialty. Short Rib Ropa Vieja "Double Stack" Taco Where: Painted Burro Location: Somerville, MA
The most popular taco at Painted Burro offers the best of Mexico and America with both a crunchy and soft tortilla stacked one on the other and filled with slow-cooked, red wine and Mexican Coke mole-braised short rib. On top? Tres quesos and pico de gallo.BBQ Brisket Tacos Where: Moderne Barn Location: Armonk, NY
You�ll have to hit up this West Chester restaurant at lunchtime if you want to sample executive chef Ethan Kostbar�s brisket tacos. An option on the two-course express lunch menu, they�re made with barbecue-glazed brisket, shaved papaya, red onion and cilantro crema. Dinner brings a plate of Broiled Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos, with avocado, chipotle aioli and roasted corn salsa.�Berkshire Pig Head Carnitas Where: CBD Provisions Location: Dallas, TX Call this one a DIY taco�and make sure you�ve got a few friends, because this is a dish that�s meant to be shared. The foundation of chef Michael Sindoni�s carnitas is a whole Berkshire pig head, which is served with roasted tomatillo salsa, radishes, and tortillas, so you can make your own tacos. Morning Tacos Where:�Hotel ZaZa Locations: Dallas & Houston
You can�t start the day off with a taco at Texas� Hotel ZaZa, which has locations in Dallas and Houston. Your choices include�Huevos Rancheros Crispy Tacos, made with bean (need a space there) refrito, avocado and tomatillo salsa, or a �Morning Taco� of egg, chorizo, cilantro and salsa.For more Cinco de Mayo favorites, see the following articles...
