Police: Arrest made in hit-and-run that killed 3-year-old girl
READING, Pa. - A teenager is behind bars after Reading police say he slammed a pickup truck into a 3-year-old girl and left her for dead.
Justin Taylor, 18, of Wernersville was arrested and arraigned Friday evening. The grieving family of little Ja-Lexy Bobet say they're relieved.
Distraught family members of Ja-Lexy lined the streets as the man accused of striking and killing the young girl was led away in handcuffs. You could hear their raw cries of anguish. Family members held onto each other as their emotions poured out, and so did their outrage.
"He just left her there like she was nothing," cried Ja-Lexy's mother Gabriella Roman.
The arrest brings the heart broken family relief.
"I'm happy, it gave me some closure to know he's not out there hurting anybody else, but it won't bring my baby back, it's never gonna bring her back."
Friday a memorial at the sight of the deadly wreck grew with candles and kind words. Police say just before 7:00 Thursday evening a pick-up truck with Taylor behind the wheel blew through a stop sign barreling into Ja-Lexy and killing her. Witnesses say he never stopped.
In that instant, two lives changes forever.
"He's crushed, his heart is ripped, I know that for a fact," said Taylor's cousin Joshua Coulter.
Taylor's family is coping with the horrible tragedy and say they apologize to Ja-Lexy's family for what happened.
"My heart goes out to that family, but at the same time my heart goes out to him, it was far from intentional, it was 110% an accident and I just want him to know that his family is here for him and we love him," said Coulter choking back tears.
Hours after the deadly hit and run accident, investigators found a truck matching what they saw on surveillance videos abandoned near Mount Penn in Lower Alsace Township. Police tell WFMZ they knew Taylor was the driver.
The 18-year-old was on his way to turn himself in when officers picked him up.
"He panicked, he freaked out," explained Coulter. "He's 18 what are you gonna do, he just went through a tragic moment in a split second."
And now two families are feeling the consequences.
Taylor is charged with homicide by vehicle and investigators say other charges could be pending. Police say the pick-up Taylor was driving at the time of the wreck belonged to a friend and he does not have a drivers license.

Utica city council supports scenic railroad
UTICA – The Common Council of this city passed a resolution in support of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad on Wednesday.
The day before, the village of Tupper Lake became the latest Adirondack municipality to support a measure questioning the railroad's future existence in the Park.
The Utica Common Council voted 9-0 in favor of the resolution supporting the Adirondack Railroad Preservation Society's proposal to preserve the rail lines between Utica and Lake Placid.
"The Utica Common Council deems rail service as a critical component to their Master Plan," the resolution reads.
The resolution boasts the idea of improving the tracks for future passenger and tourism services as well as for freight from Utica to the Adirondacks, and expresses concern abut the resistance the plan has gotten recently from "opposition groups."
It states that rehabilitating the railroad tracks "will facilitate the creation of badly needed employment in this highly distressed area of New York, tap the use of rail as a green form of transportation for freight, restore historic infrastructure to promote tourism and further bolster the sustainability of our communities."
The move came a day after the Tupper Lake village board held an hour-and-a-half-long comment period on the subject and then voted to support the state reopening the corridor's unit management plan. The plan for the 119-mile portion of track from Remsen to Lake Placid was created in the mid 1990s. It allowed the railroad to use the corridor but called for a re-evaluation every five years. No such review has been done.
The boards of the towns of Tupper Lake and Harrietstown and the village of Saranac Lake have passed similar resolutions in recent months. The boards of the towns of North Elba and Piercefield and the village of Lake Placid passed more strongly worded resolutions that call for the removal of the tracks.

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
yeah thats cool.. to lower the compression, youd want to get some quad-4 pistons, they fit and will give you about 9:1, of course getting some head work done will lower it slightly more, 8.6-7 to 1, thereabouts.. I woudl HIGHLY recommend geting LT1 1.94 in. intake valves for this when you get the head work done.. get new exhaust valves too
but for a 12 valve 6 cyl 3.8 buick...order them new
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
An odd thing with turbo engines I have noticed over the years. They all seem to have small valves. I have never seen a factory production turbo with large valves.
My 301 Turbo: 1.75 Intake 1.5 Exhaust (my particular car, 290 RWHP)
GN Turbo: 1.75 Intake, 1.5 Exhaust (245HP stock, easily to make 400+ with stock long block)
Honestly, with the boost, valve size may not matter at all. I guess if you are going all out, 15+ psi boost, sure, the valve will become a restriction to the flow, raising boost when it shouldn't be (backpressure in the intake tract will make the turbo back up and activate the wastegate early, thus lowering overall cylinder boost pressures)
Maybe increase exhaust valves on the exhaust, but until boost gets up, don't mess with them. BUT, OTOH, boosted engines often have sodium filled exhaust valves. The 301, not sure, they are fat suckers, enough room they probably do, the 3.8L Supercharged Ford, the 2.3L Turbo Ford, both do. Not sure on GN, probably does.
So, do consder that. If you are swapping valves, look for the necked down valves that have more flow around the valve, but keep with the Severe Duty versions if at all possible. Turbocharging is serious business. (more for Phase 2 not Phase 1) High mileage valves can be a risk.

The largest intake vlaves the 4.9L heads will handle are 1.94 intake valves, and keep the same size stock exhaust valves, 1.50

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
of course, you could always go for the biggest normally aspirated 4.9L ever! hehehe... if you shave the heads .050, and use Northstar pistons ( use the stock sleeves, just have them bored .040 ), you'll get in the neghborhood somewhere of 11.5 to 12:1 compression.. of course, pump gas is useless at this compression unless you use a different ECM entirely, one with a knock sensor of course..have a custom built valvetrain, and a very high lift cam...
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
I am not that familliar with the dimensions of the Quad 4 pistons, but you don't want to mess up the quench. You can mess with the other side, but the quench area is cruicial to helping manage and eliminating pinging. Typically around 0.040". Alum rods increases that by around 0.040 to 0.080. And if it has 4 valve relief's, are they in the correct position for the 4.9L? Same with N* pistons. BEing the 4.9L shares pistons with the 3.4L Chevy V6, pistons and rings should be plentiful and cheap. Sick puppies like me read websites like KB-Silvolite.com. It is interesting to find out what works with what...Originally Posted by stickpony
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
You know what I've just realized? We're getting nowhere fast with this project! There has been about 140 posts pertaining to pistons and camshaft changes that I will not use at all for stage 1
Let's get back to topic here and start to figure things out. I mean Christ, it's just another engine with the same characteristics that almost every other V8 has in terms of moving parts...So I'm not getting all fancy. It's just a tune before the real deal if you please...
Ok, for stage 1:
a.) No intercooling whatsoever. Tom has stated time and again that for 6 simple psi that it won't be needed.
b.) Fuel. I'm just going to order the Megasquirt self-programmable system and get with it. I have most of what I need and will run with an auxiliary TBI system to add more fuel. I'll add the extra fuel pump and lines too.
c.) Timing. So I'll keep factory settings of 10 for idle. The MSD boost timing controll can take care of the rest.
d.) Turbocharger. I would like to have the compressor map done, but I really feel that the turbo I have will suffice for now.
e.) Tubing and pipes. I'm installing the turbo via the crossover pipe from a Deville. There will be Deville front and rear exhaust manifolds feeding the crossover pipe, which will in turn feed the turbocharger.
f.) Boost level controls and a blow-off valve. Done. The turbo I have has a dual-port wastegate system and the boost control should work out fine.
All that is really needed is for me to order the Megasquirt and build it. Welding pipes and other things together is easy. Or at least I hope so.
Okay people, let's get with it here. If I'm going to blow this thing up, let's do it in style!!!
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Funny you should mention it, I was actually looking at the title to the thread last night, thinking, we are not posting at all about Stage 1! But the bunny trails were cruising on and on....
You are right, the MSD BTM and 4-6 psi boost to start (keep boost low initially) with a simple mechanical wastegate, unless we have $$ to get an electronic one and make a knob inside the car (which would be nice to help save the engine if boost is suddenly too high, maybe make an ESC module control the wastegate instead of the timing control) A way to monitor pinging should be seriously considered. GM put knock sensors (ESC) on 3.8L's, Turbo 301's, and various other cars. Look for G Bodies with V6's and the ESC module is on the pass side fender. Snag a few of them. Get some various knock sensors, 4.6L N*, 2.8L Chevy (if they have), 3800, 3.8L, 3300, 1.8L Turbo 4, 2.0L Turbo 4, etc. You may need to experiement with the one that is most sensitive. Install them one in each block coolant drain. Closer to the cyls is best. Becareful removing those drains! It is an aluminum block, so it might not come out easily.
Plan out where the turbo can do, how to get exhaust to it and away from it (likely on top of the trans, that is where Pontiac put it on the 1988 SSE Turbo Bonneville prototype), obviously the air box is removed, build an abundance of heat shields you WILL need them, a little goes a long way on a heat shield. You can drop temps 50 degrees with 1/2" air between the source and the thing you are protecting.
Calculate the boosted airflow requirements. If the turbo is at 14.7 psi, you are double the CID. Make sure the TBI unit will flow enough air for you, at 7.5 psi you are ballpark 450 cid. You may need a 454 unit, stock maybe, maybe a little porting. You don't want it to be a boost restriction and having it backing up the intake tract. I need to look at the allante intake more (is that Stage 1 or 2?). Make sure there is some plenum under the TBI. Being the 4.9L isn't a high revver, the 454 TBI is probably sufficient, for stage 1....
I am wondering if the MS is best saved for Stage 2 and use my idea to trigger extra fuel for stage 1. Simple, cheap, and very effective.
Does anyone know if the Cadillac PCM will handle a 3 bar MAP? And has anyone broke the programming on it? Does anyone have any friends at GM in handware or software engineering that might be willing to answer silly questions like that?
You should not need anything special on wastegate with that low boost. Like an extra exhaust pipe, etc.
When I was pondering turboing my 3800, I was looking at bringing up the exhaust to the turbo right off the factory crossover, and then return it back to the cat converter in the stock pipe with an extention. Just weld off that nasty back side crossover on the 3800. (Thrasher Engineering makes a replacment that isn't so bad, for you guys with a 3800) Odd thing, the 3800 has a 2.3" crossover pipe, the 4.9L is smaller, like a 2" or 1.75". Maybe you can adapt the 3800's pipe.
Oil supply, oil pressure sending units with a T work, but not always sufficent flow. The closer you get to the oilpump the better. If you can up oil pressure, DO SO! Oil drain back. Drain must be lower than turbo exit. The intake may work, you might need to drill a hole in the backside of the intake to drain into the lifter valley.
Being we already have an engine oil cooler, that is good. Either monitor oil temps or go synthetic. Even with me changing oil very often, the oil didn't survive enough to save my rod bearings. So it is low cost bearing insurance. 15W40 may be sufficient though.
Turbos LOVE cooling engines and cold air induction. A cold day will give you a ton more power than a warm day.
Insulate the exhaust pipes going up to the turbo. Spools faster and reduces underhood heat. But, non stainless pipes may not live as long.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by N0DIH
Thanks again for the info Tom. I am sorry if I sounded like a jerk with my last post, which was not singling anyone out, I was just a little buzzed and was wondering where I am getting with this project I have been promising for close to a year now...
I was checking out that 4.9 buildup thread and I seen the most interesting thing that I would like to use. They had a set of 4.1 liter exhaust manifolds in the picture that appear to be stainless, and they are the same material that I have on my '87 Seville, only those are made for the cross-under pipes. I'm just not too sure how the flow would work out should I decide to use those instead of the cast iron manifolds. I have a set of Deville exhaust manifolds laying around along with a cross-over, but they seem to be the cast iron manifolds. The cross-over is stainless I believe...I would much prefer the header look of the 4.1 liter manifolds as well.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Absolutely not, I agree, we got off on some good bunny trails thought! I think we all tend to go with the flow of the thread, almost Ralphlike...
I haven't take a look at the 4.1L stainless, if they are like the Olds 5.0L "Y" stainless, they might be a good choise if they are a bolt on. For Olds, they only work on 7A heads with the tiny exhaust ports (althought they DO have the more desired fully divided center 2 exhaust ports, which is rumored to pick up 30 hp on an modifed engine, I would guess more like 15 myself....). A little trick to manifolds is to go too big on headers or manifolds to allow a block to reversion. The exhaust pulse is larger once it gets in the pipe, and then when the pressure pushes it back or the cyl tries to suck it back, the pulse will get partially stopped at the port exit. free power though less diluted chamber. Ok, NOx might go up slightly, but who cares, right?Originally Posted by illumina

Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.Originally Posted by stickpony
Speaking of which, I don't know if you realize this or not, but the combustion chamber design is the same for all 4.x heads. I have taken enough of them apart and rebuilt them to know this. The only difference between the TBI heads and the MPFI heads are the intake water passage area, and perhaps better oil return from the MPFI heads. It really isn't possible to use the 4.1 liter heads for a MPFI intake manifold because of the water passages. Other than that, they are made of the same material and have the same basic combustion design, which is all that I stated. If you happen to re-read my post before you actually make a statement against it, make sure you get what I said right.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Also, though I appreciate the link to the 4.9 buil-up, I am not going to use a single Northstar/Quad-4/whatever piston in this stage, or in stage 2. The information given pertains to an engine being built for natural aspiration, not turbocharging.
My aim for stage 2 will be to lower compression ratio for more boost, not raising it to blow my engine during boost. So let's consider the Northstar piston upgrade a closed matter and get with what needs to be done for stage 1.
Thank you
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
IIRC, the N* pistons were close to the 4.9L, but not the same, but I don't remember which way. I'm checking KB-Silvolite.com for more details. Another concern is the valve relief angle. Again, I don't have the details of the 4.6 and 4.9L on this.
For some serious reading on pistons and engines, take some time and read at http://kb-silvolite.com/ and look for the tech pages. The ones on Quench are very interesting.
Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Here are the details on the pistons:
http://kb-silvolite.com/spistons.php...tails&S_id=624 for the N*
http://kb-silvolite.com/spistons.php...tails&S_id=228 for the 4.5L/4.9L
Interesting, they are 1mm difference in size, and nearly identical everything else. So it would appear they are a decent swap. Comp height is the same, and pin is the same (0.0002 off)

More suggestions as well
Posted 03 April 2012 - 11:52 AM
One thing would be possibly "taxing" the BST. We have the safest BST here on TechPB, and the owners of this site spend their hard earned money keeping this site alive for us. Implementing a tax of something around 2 dollars from both partys in a BST transaction per transaction would possibly alleviate some financial troubles present with site owners.
Another idea would help save mike and willie time would be if they had a particular busy couple of months, techpb users could e-mail videos to Mike or Willie using the TechPB style of review/video, and they could go through them and put up a select few they deem TechPB quality.

When police raided Khan's apartment they found several suspicious black book bags and a small scale which they believed could be used to measure bomb ingredients. …Read More →

Distance Learning at DSU
Some of the courses you will take at DSU use the web-based learning management system called Blackboard. There are three types of courses offered using Blackboard:
- Web-enhanced courses. Although all of your class sessions are conducted in a classroom here on the campus your professor will use one or more aspects of Blackboard to distribute content or to conduct various learning activities.
- Blended learning courses. Instead of always meeting in the classroom, your professor will substitute some of the scheduled class time for online activities (i.e. online discussions, lectures, exams and assignments).
- Online distance education courses. For this type of course, you will NEVER meet in a classroom on campus with your professor. Through Blackboard, your professor will provide you with a syllabus, list of required textbooks, lectures and details of course assignments. You will submit your assignments and participate in discussions with both your professor and classmates online through Blackboard.
View the complete list of approved Online courses [1]. Please note that all courses listed are not offered every semester.
Blackboard now has the Community Engagement Feature which makes organizations now available in Blackboard Learn. Organizations in Blackboard Learn contain content and tools to keep you informed and in touch with other members of your organization. An organization looks exactly like a course, including:
• A menu similar to the course menu
• A home page
• Tools similar to a course's tools, like announcements and discussions
To request an organization in Blackboard, please complete the Request Organization in Blackboard form [2]. Upon approval and completion, a confirmation email will be sent to the requestor with further information and details. For Student Organizations, the campus advisor MUST be the requestor and a leader in the organization.
How do I access Blackboard as a student?
You can access Blackboard from any computer that has an internet connection. Go to https://dsuonline.blackboard.com [3] and enter your username and password.
Username: This is the same username that you use to access your student email account.
Password: This is the same password that you use to access your student email account.

This rare Yellow tea comes from the misty peak of Mount Meng, where tea cultivation dates back to the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Meng Ding Huang Ya was an Imperial Tribute Tea during the Tang Dynasty and was recorded in many famous Chinese books. Only the leaves picked in the misty peak areas of Mount Meng can be considered as true Meng Ding Huang Ya.

Maya Rudolph Covers Prince's "Darling Nikki"
Saturday Night Live's Maya Rudolph took the Troubadour stage in Los Angeles over the weekend to cover "Darling Nikki" by the one and only Prince. Maya got the pipes and she should since her mom is soul legend Minnie Ripperton.
Maya performed the Prince classic that Prince only plays before he goes to rehab. She wore a trench coat...not sure if she had leg warmers n bikini briefs underneath..but that is another story isn't it? I like the girl next to her wearing the captain's hat. Wonder if she is an "International Lover" or something. (Crickets chirping.) No? Never mind.
She even performed the backwards message at the end of the track.
They did not perform the version of it that made Tipper Gore blush, but closer to a tribute version that Rebecca Romijn performed about 10 years ago.
Check it out before it gets pulled faster than Nancy Grace will be off of "Dancing With The Stars" next month.-Dr.FB

What makes up a good free safety? Range, speed, being a good tackler, being able to read the quarterback. These are all a big part of what the position requires. But who's the best?
We've set out to find the best free safeties in the NFL—based on how well they tackle, stop the run, cover deep, and come up to take on blockers. Each starter has been assessed as to how he exemplified those traits in 2011. The quest comes as part of the B/R NFL 1,000. The series offers an in-depth look at every position in the NFL, breaking down players' skills in a way never before seen on the Internet.
B/R 1,000 rankings don't assess who had the best year, or even who has the most potential. Rather, players—in this case, free safeties—are judged on their current skills and mechanics, based on film study of the 2011 NFL preseason and regular season only.
After hours spent scouting every starter and every potential starter, the top 32 free safeties have been scored on 10 criteria (more on the criteria here). In the slides that follow, we'll explain each player's strengths and weaknesses as the final ranking is revealed.
Note: Some players lined up at both free and strong safety during the 2011 season. Players were ranked at the position they played most, according to game-tracking done by our friends at ProFootballFocus.com.

$1 Million Discussion
Several area residents have suggestions on how the city should spend its Community Development Block Grant money.
Recently, they had their say during an open public forum session.
The federal Community Development Block Grant program stipulates that at least 70 percent of CDBG must be used for low-to-moderate-income benefit activities and no more than 30 percent of funds can be used for slums and blighted areas. Activities that are ineligible include the development of buildings for the general conduct of government, political activities, equipment purchases and general operating, maintenance and salary expenses of local governments.
"After this meeting, we'll begin to formulate a plan," said Vince DeJoy, director of development. "We're about a month and a half behind because I just started at the end of February, but we'll have another public hearing with the City Council where we'll present the plan, which will probably happen in the next two weeks. From there, the plan will go to the City Council for review, then we submit the entire application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for approval."
According to DeJoy, the Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency is working with roughly $1 million in total CDBG and HOME funding this year, but that number may be subject to part of what is going on in Washington in regard to the sequester. A decade ago, the city had access to nearly $2 million. The need in Jamestown, however, hasn't diminished over the last 10 years.
Over the last 10 years, Jamestown has allocated nearly $22 million of CDBG and HOME funds to a slew of projects including, but not limited to, the Eastside YMCA, Chadakoin Park, the Court Appointed Special Advocates program, the downtown facade project, targeted demolitions and a residential wheelchair ramp program.
Although DeJoy will be looking for further clarification from HUD about the capacity that the funds will be able to be used on projects such as Lillian Dickson Park, he said that he doesn't want to make any promises just yet.
"It was a pleasant surprise, seeing so many people come out for this meeting," said DeJoy. "There's a long list of things that we'll be looking at after tonight. We may have the ability to do more than originally thought, but I don't want to, and can't, make any promises yet. I want to keep this group energized and engaged. I am confident that we can do something significant."
Paula Hofgren, a resident from the north side of Jamestown that was involved with the recent upgrades at Roseland Park, came to the meeting to ask for upgrades at Lillian Dickson Park, located near Falconer and Sturges streets.
"It's a high traffic area and a lot of kids play in and around the area of the park," said Hofgren. "There have been deaths there because it's not as safe as it should be, and the traffic pattern is such that the area is in need of safety upgrades, like slowing the traffic and putting up signs. Parents that I've been working with are very concerned about the safety of their children. They're hesitant to take their families there because of vandalism and drugs. I know the city's funds are limited, but we could really use their help and I think that this area needs it."
According to Hofgren, a new design for a park has already been created and the group that is leading the way in upgrading the park has already applied for grants to help fund the renovations, as well.
Andrew Dixon of the Chautauqua County Health Network was also at the meeting to speak about the "Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play" initiative of the New York State Department of Health.
"(The initiative) is working closely with a variety of partners to create policies, systems and environmental changes to increase the access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity," said Dixon. "One important area of involvement of Creating Healthy Places is the renovation of Lillian Dickson Park and we strongly support the city helping with the purchase of handicap-accessible playground equipment."
The Chautauqua County Health Network also requested assistance with the creation of a high-visibility crosswalk at the intersection of Crescent and Second streets, restenciling of the school stencils on Buffalo Street near Washington Middle School and C.C. Ring Elementary School, and the replacement of sidewalks on Sturges Street.
Kurt Carlson of Northside PRIDE, said that the most necessary improvements on the north side of town were primarily infrastructure problems, the most critical of which are broken curbs that result in soil runoff, uneven sidewalks, unsafe thoroughfares for pedestrians and severe deviations in the road that make it unsafe for drivers and bicyclists.
Legislator Tim Hoyer, D-District 14, proposed a number of possible uses for the funds, including a facelift to North Main Street that would involve painting and siding every home, as well as the creations of gardens through the entire stretch in order to make it a more aesthetically pleasing corridor to the downtown area. Hoyer also suggested the creation of a larger, more accessible space for the farmers market, bike paths for commuters that would make most of the downtown area pedestrian-only, and making all parking lanes green space. The addition of more public transportation within the city would reduce the number of people needing to drive to work, as well, according to Hoyer.
Mary Maxwell, neighborhood project associate at the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, was on hand to speak to everyone attending the meeting about the Renaissance Block Challenge, a program that provides matching funds for groups of homeowners that are looking to make upgrades to their properties. The funding to the program had been reduced, however, so she asked for it to be considered that a portion of the CDBG and HOME funds be directed towards that initiative in order to maintain the current level of services.

While many dogs may be prone to taking long naps and relaxing for most of the day, some breeds need lots of exercise. Pet parents who care for such a canine should be sure that they provide their animal with proper attention and nurturing in order to help them maintain their pet health, according to Syracuse.com.
If your pooch has been staying inside for most of the winter, then be sure that the first few walks are shorter in distance, so your dog has time to adjust. The news source recommends allowing the pet to be the guide.
To build endurance, it may be best to include hills or stairs into your daily walks. Just remember, in hot temperatures, it's essential to give dogs plenty of water and time to rest on outdoor excursions
"Good warm-up and cool-down routines are the most important things that you can do to prevent injury in your dog," Lin McGonagle, a licensed veterinary technician, told the news source.
According to the Winfield Courier Online, it may be wise to take your dog in for their annual exam this spring, as pets may be more likely to pick up parasites with more time spent outside.

John on Wine – Barra of Mendocino and Girasole
Photograpy by Diane Davis, Diane Davis Photography
Invited to taste through the wines of both Barra and Girasole, I found Barra of Mendocino wines are bigger and feature a mix of specific oak barrels, often Louis Latour barrels to bring specific notes to the wines, while Girosole are largely stainless steel tank driven wines with just a small percentage of French and American oak for flavor.
My tasting hosts were winemaker Jason Welch and marketing specialist Gracia Brown.
A little history: Charlie Barra is a Mendocino County wine industry icon. In 1945, while still a teen in high school, Charlie farmed his first leased ranch and in 1955 bought his 175 acre Redwood Valley vineyard.
In 1997, after years of farming organic wine grapes to sell to other wineries, Charlie dedicated a portion of his grapes to his own wines and Petite Sirah was his first commercial bottling under his own name.
Martha, Charlie's wife, runs things with a focus and a no-nonsense directness I respect.
Winemaker Jason Welch is filled with infectious enthusiasm for his craft and a palpable fondness for each of the wines he is creating for Charlie and Martha. With turns at Heller and Julien Estates in Carmel Valley, Sonoma County's Wattle Creek Winery, and Regusci Winery in Napa, Jason picked up knowledge and skills that are in clear evidence in the wines he is making today.
Martha Barra brilliantly brought Gracia on-board, harnessing her work ethic for Barra and Girasole after the demise of the Mendocino Winegrape & Wine Commission (MWWC) last year.
The first wine we tasted was the 2011 Girasole Pinot Blanc. Nicely perfumed with light vanilla, apple and citrus. Stainless bright fruit and acidity matched by a touch of light creaminess from 10 percent neutral oak, this wine balances a slightly flinty character with nice aromatics. $13. The Pinot Blanc took a Gold medal at the 2013 San Francisco Chronicle wine Competition.
"Aromatics" is a word Jason loves and his winemaking style focuses on bringing a complex mix of aroma notes characteristic to each varietal he works with, while allowing both a sense of place and the vintage to speak with each release.
As a treat, we tasted the pretty much sold out 2011 Barra Pinot Noir Rosé. This wine is saignée or bleed style where the lightly colored wine is removed from the skin at an early stage of making a red wine, and made with super cold fermentation and Rhone styled yeasts. It was delicate, with rose petal, strawberry, cherry notes, and it was delicious. The 2012 release will be slightly lower alcohol and higher acid, which should offer even more opportunity for the fruit to be showcased. $18.
The 2010 Barra Chardonnay is rich and would be a treat to taste again 8-9 years from now. Barrel select; 10 barrels were kicked loose from this wine program, with 30 percent French oak, the wine is unsurprisingly oaky, with vanilla, cream, and butter notes as it also went through 100 percent malolactic fermentation. The grapes themselves give up apple and pear fruit notes. $18.
The 2010 Girasole Pinot Noir ($16) was soft, with nice acid providing good balance for strawberry, cherry, herb, spice, and mineral notes, while the 2010 Barra Pinot Noir ($20) was darker, richer, riper with bigger mouthfeel and notes of earthy cherry and cola with a little more tannin.
2010 Barra Sangiovese is plummy fruit and chocolate and licorice on the nose, and cherry, anise, and raspberry in the mouth. A pretty color, this wine reminded me of a Grateful Dead show: plenty of acid. $18
The front end of the 2009 Barra Cabernet Sauvignon is great with nice big blackberry, cassis, herb, and lovely tannin. $20.
We went outside and tasted tank and barrel samples of future releases. My sense is that the future is even more exciting than the already delicious present for Barra and Girasole.
I'll be visiting the event center over the course of the year as Barra plays host to many can't miss events throughout the year, from crab feeds to farm to table celebrations of the county's bounty.

Hi, John here. The online version of my column allows me the space to add some thoughts that didn't fit my edited piece for the newspaper.
I wanted to add some personal notes. With roughly 750 words allowed in the paper, I need to put my focus on the wines when writing about a winery, but it is the people, just as much as the wines, that define a winery for me. Here is a little more about the folks at Barra/Girasole:
I adore Gracia Brown. I met Gracia when she shouldered an enormous workload as part of the now defunct Mendocino Winegrape & Wine Commission. I had many opportunities to work with Gracia and couldn't be more impressed with her work ethic and cheerful attitude. Although Gracia has never been employed by McFadden, I think she has poured our wines no fewer than three times for us. When my son turns of legal age, if he still wants a tattoo, I will point him toward Gracia's husband, a gifted artist.
Winemaker, Jason Welch is both likeable and passionate. I am looking forward to tasting the wines he produces for Barra and Girasole in the coming years.
Charlie Barra is an icon. When I talk about my boss, Guinness McFadden, being a leader in the organic farming movement, I am always mindful that Charlie has ten years of organic growing on Guinness.
Charlie's wife Martha just knocks me out. We have had the opportunity to work together going back to my time working with the Wine Appreciation Guild a dozen years ago. Martha knows her mind, isn't shy sharing her thoughts, has plenty of drive and a positive assumptive attitude; she gets things done. I like Martha, and respect the heck out of her.
Katrina Kessen is my counterpart at Barra, managing their tasting room. We never seem to see each other as we work many of the same days and hours, but she likes the music of Grateful Dead so she obviously is a woman of refinement and exquisite taste.
Note: In between being published in the paper and posted here online, I got to meet Katrina. We had a very nice time pouring next to each other at an event focused on wineries with organically grown grapes over this past Earth Day weekend. I look forward to seeing the Barra/Girasole team often in the future.

My guess it's whole tomatoes and not what they use in the kitchen with cores and seeds removed. The label appears to say "Stem Cut Tomatoes in Puree".Loo
So it doesn't say "stem cut" like I thought but "random cut..." on the can label? Next time I'm back home I'm going to have to grab a couple cans of them.Loo
Hey Mick,You are learning a bunch. You confirmed the two day rise as the best and tomatoes. Who cares? I never had a tomato I did not like in a pizza. We use the fire roasted frequently, with the proper spices it works great. I have to admit when we make pasta it is only San Marzano...I wonder what is happening at Lou's that they are trying to make a buck other than their PIZZA...
Who cares? I care, slightly uncalled for don't you think?. And if you never had a bad tomato maybe your taste buds are shot.
Malnati's isn't the Holy Grail of pizza anyway. It's good, don't get me wrong.Eduardo's is better. So is Jake's and Nancy's...Malnati's tomatoes. Bah.Grow your own damn tomatoes.
ayoob, welcome to the board. You're a noob, ayoob, and I'm riding the high of a Blackhawks Stanley Cup win last night so I'll go easy on you. YOU COME OFF KINDA ... hmmmm ... DOUCHE-Y.Loo
As for the Tomatoes? They are OK, if you have a good oven to cook them in, you can replicate Lou's with the right dough...heck you can even order the dough to go......
Mick.Chicago,I'm not sure that Malnati's sells only the LouToGo dough by itself anymore. At one time they did but then it seemed that they stopped. When I looked at the Malnati's website today, all I saw was a kit, with the LouToGo dough, canned tomatoes, and a pizza pan, at http://www.tastesofchicago.com/category/Lous_make_at_home. It wouldn't seem to make much sense to buy a kit when you just want the LouToGo dough. Peter
Bottom line is, that's your opinion...everyone has one, some stink. Personally, I think Lou's get's less attention than Uno's and the rest of the down town locations. I've never had the holy grail of Chicago Style Pizza in LA so I can't comment on that but I've eaten the best and the worst here in Chicago and my personal preferences is Lou's.As for the Tomatoes? They are OK, if you have a good oven to cook them in, you can replicate Lou's with the right dough...heck you can even order the dough to go......It's not even a bad price for the quality, but still I'll stick to my whole foods organics, as that's my personal choice, and opinion on what tastes good. But I aint gonna shove it in your face, because that's kinda rude.

March 1, 2006 Special WIC Update
SUBJECT: Surge Protector/Backup Battery Units
SUBJECT: 2006 Client Services Enhancement Project Application Notification
- The State WIC office will send surge protector/backup battery units to all local WIC Providers within the next couple of weeks. You will receive one surge protector for every WIC computer you have. These units will protect computer equipment from electrical sags and surges, which can damage the equipment and shorten its life. The backup battery will run the equipment for approximately 30 minutes in case of power outage.
If you feel comfortable in doing so, you may install the surge protectors/backup battery units yourself or you may call the ITSD (formerly OIS) Help Desk at 1-800-347-0887 for assistance. Please read the instructions inside the unit's box. This is the shortened version that will help you properly install the unit: Remove back cover of surge protector backup battery unit (see the instructions inside the box if you want to see the diagram). Pull battery from the surge protector housing. Insert cable into battery terminal. Note: small sparks may occur during battery connection. This is normal. Replace the battery and put the cover back on. Plug in surge protector/backup battery unit to charge battery. Charge for 16 hours to fully charge the battery prior to use. When ready to install the unit, ensure your computer equipment is turned off. Plug your computer and monitor into the surge protector/backup battery unit. If you have a printer that is connected directly to the computer, plug it into the "Surge Protection" side of the unit. Everything else should go in the "Battery Backup Plus Surge Protection" side of the unit. You will see the labels "Surge Protection" and "Battery Backup Plus Surge Protection" on the top of the unit. Connect the USB cable to the unit. (It's in a separate bag inside the box. You will not need to use the cables in the bag that has the instructions.) The end that looks like a telephone cord goes into the surge protector- in the "Data Port" (the bottom of the three ports at the back of the surge protector); the other end goes into any free USB port you have on your computer. Plug the surge protector/backup battery unit into a wall electrical outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. Press the power button on the surge protector/backup battery unit. The green light should come on. If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is lit, your building wiring presents a shock hazard that should be corrected by a qualified electrician. Turn on your computer, monitor and printer, if applicable. After the computer boots up and you log onto the network, place the CD-ROM into your CD drive. It should automatically load after a few seconds. Click "Next" every time it comes up, you don't need to change anything. You don't need to register the software and check "No" on the last screen. Leave the surge protector/backup battery unit on; there is no need to ever turn it off. After the software is installed, you will see an icon that looks like a parachute on the right side of the task bar (lower right corner) of your screen. By clicking on it, you can learn information about the status of the surge protector/backup battery unit. If you want more information regarding the surge protector/backup battery unit or to request additional units, contact Mark Davis at email@example.com or 1-800-392-8209. If you have questions on how to set up the surge protector/backup battery unit once you receive them, contact the ITSD (formerly OIS) Help Desk at 1-800-347-0887 for assistance.
- 2006 Client Services Enhancement Application Notification is delayed. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the project funding request, we will be unable to notify applicants about the status of their application today. We will be reviewing the requests during the next few days and may be contacting some agencies for clarification on their plans. The number and variety of awards required more review and research than had been planned. Award notification will take place next week. Thank you again for your excellent efforts in completing 2006 WIC Client Services Enhancement Project applications. We will publish the list of funded agencies in the following week's Monday email. If you have questions, please contact email@example.com.

Impeach Obama
To the Editor:
President Obama insists that Republicans are trying to politicize the Benghazi attack for political gain. My opinion is that Obama politicized the Benghazi attack to the maximum when he and Hillary Clinton demonstrated their total, callous willingness for political gain to sacrifice all the personnel there, rather than to attempt any rescue, even as they turned down repeated calls for help. They had to maintain the Obama myth for the upcoming election that al-Qaeda had been put on the run by team Obama.
Never in the history of this country has the office of the President been taken to such despicable lows. Impeachment and removal from office for dereliction of duty, as a minimum, should be undertaken immediately.
Harold King

Beautiful Indian styled wedding hairstyle
Glossy, straight, dark brown hair is traditionally styled for an Indian wedding. Hair is carefully parted deep on the side and combed flatly and neatly behind the ears, with a high shine. It is then taken up into a nondescript knot at the back of the head, which is covered by the veil. An elaborate, flat tiara is placed across the head, complementing the rich shine of the hair.

Drosophila melanogaster lives in a wide range of habitats. Native habitats include those in the tropical regions of the Old World, but the common fruit fly has been introduced to almost all temperate regions of the world. The only aspects that limit the habitats Drosopila melangaster can live in is temperature and availability of water.
The scientific name Drosophila actually means "lover of dew", implying that this species requires moist environments.
The development of this species' offspring is extremely dependent on temperature, and the adults cannot withstand the colder temperatures of high elevations or high latitudes. Food supplies are also limited in these locations. Therefore, in colder climates Drosophila melanogaster cannot survive.
In temperate regions where human activities have introduced Drosophila melanogaster, these flies seek shelter in colder winter months. Many times Drosophila can be found in fruit cellars, or other available man made structures with a large supply of food. (Demerec, 1950)

In my recent post about reducing load time for iOS apps, I discussed the importance of a proper Default.png. In the past I've made my Default.png "splash screen" image manually from mock ups and screenshots from the simulator — it can be very tedious with mixed results.
There is another way.
Before I show you, you need to know something — it uses a private API function. What does that mean? You need to remove this code before you submit your app to the App Store or it will be rejected. Private APIs are functions not to be used by anyone but Apple. So without further ado:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] _writeApplicationDefaultPNGSnapshot];
That's it. You should put this code somewhere in your viewDidLoad function before you load all (but after you load some) of your UI elements. You'll have to be the judge of the appropriate timing. Once this function is run, it'll store a PNG screenshot of your application in the following location:
Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/VERSION/UDID/Caches/BUNDLEIDENTIFIER/AppSnapshots/
QUICK! Get the screenshot and get outta there — then remove that function.

An interpretation of the Pay Our Military Act is allowing the Pentagon to call back employees who provide support to the military.
Most of the Pentagon's 400,000 furloughed employees will be back at work as early as next week under a decision announced Saturday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
The civilians are on emergency furlough because of the government shutdown. Hagel issued the return-to-work order Saturday under a new interpretation of the Pay Our Military Act.
Congress and President Obama passed the act just before the government shutdown began on Tuesday. It allowed active-duty military to continue to be paid.
On Saturday, Hagel announced the Department of Defense had reconsidered what that law covered and decided that most of its civilian employees were covered as well.
In a written statement, Hagel said officials from the departments of Defense and Justice had consulted with each other just after the Pay Our Military Act was passed and that Justice "expressed its view that the law does not permit a blanket recall of all civilians."
However, both agreed that the law did allow the Department of Defense to eliminate furloughs for employees "whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members," Hagel wrote in the statement.
Hagel has now directed the military to "move expeditiously to identify all employees whose activities fall under these categories." He said he expects this to "significantly reduce — but not eliminate" civilian furloughs.
Hagel had made it clear earlier in the past week that Pentagon lawyers were trying to determine ways for some of the Defense Department's 400,000 furloughed civilians to get back to work.
He told reporters traveling with him Tuesday in South Korea, "It does have an effect on our relationships around the world and it cuts straight to the obvious question: Can you rely on the United States as a reliable partner to fulfill its commitments to its allies?"

The program combines the breadth of the Emerging Leaders MBA with the deep technical skills of a Masters in Information Technology.
Professionals with two graduate degrees are in high demand for choice positions in business, according to stories in The New York Times and Computerworld. The articles quote several corporate leaders on the growing need for individuals whose skills are well balanced between management and technology.
The Bentley program is part of a very short list of offerings. The Graduate Management Admission Council reports that only about two percent of the approximately 1,400 MBA programs nationwide have a built-in opportunity for pursuing a second degree.

Since I'm always seeking to increase speed, I always need new tools to test everything. I use Pingdom Tools and Google Page Speed (GPS) on an almost daily basis. Though those sites are great for testing load speed, I needed something else tested: capacity. Pingdom Tools and GPS only simulate one user at a time, and while it's nice, it's not always practical. There's always a chance that more than one person will be accessing your page at a time.
Meet Blitz.
Blitz doesn't just simulate one user. Blitz uses two tests to help you determine how your server or application will do under any type of load.
The first step is called Sprinting. Sprinting runs a simple test from any of Blitz's regions around the world and shows you response time.
If the Sprint completes successfully (and it should under most circumstances) you move on to Rushing. Rushing is the real load test.
You can define the number of users and time using Blitz's command line syntax.
After you Rush, Blitz will show how you did. It's a great way to see where you need to improve. Here's a look at my Sprint and Rush.
[caption id="attachment_1219" align="alignleft" width="620" caption="Sprint Success!"][/caption]
[caption id="attachment_1235" align="alignleft" width="620" caption="Rush Success!"][/caption]
[caption id="attachment_1224" align="alignleft" width="620" caption="Rush Results!"][/caption]
It looks like I can withstand a lot of traffic before having to worry!
Blitz is an awesome tool! I've been using it to monitor An Altered Reality's performance over the past week. So far, it's been incredibly helpful helping me tweak my setup to get the best possible results...and it was better than my prior approach (that actually got some attention!) Give it a shot!
What do your results look like?

1800's predicted seeker sensitive ministry.
The first 4+ minutes is an actual sermon by Charles Spurgeon and if you did not know any better you would say it was modern. Has the church lost its purpose and relevance in order to be entertaining. Please watch and share your opinions.
John MacArthur has been going through a very similar sermon series that I've been listening to on the radio. So I've been thinking about this topic a lot. MacArthur's mostly focusing on how modern English translations have downplayed the Bible's use of the word "slave" to describe salvation. Also how most modern evangelistic movements intentionally omit any references to making Christ the Lord of our lives, committing our lives to Christ, acknowledging our sin, and even repenting of our sin. Because they believe it is more important to get people saved and sealed and then release those same people to go live out their lives however they see fit with absolutely no acknowledgment of GOD after that initial decision. Preferably they would make GOD the Lord of their lives at some point in the future, but it's not really necessary because they're saved and, even if they leave the faith or deny the existence of GOD altogether, they're still going to Heaven because of that one decision made in a moment of time. That's a complete and total prostitution of GOD's Word and it bears no resemblance whatsoever to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If someone refuses to make Jesus the Lord of their life - in other words, they have to give up EVERYTHING to Christ: their family, their possessions, their money, their job, their property, their spouse, their body, their mind, their soul, their spirit, their free will, their future plans, etc.; and become His slave for eternity - then they can't be saved. GOD doesn't accept part-time commitment (or Sunday-morning Christians), it's all or nothing.
I think if Charles Spurgeon was disturbed by the direction the Church was taking in the 1800s, then he would be absolutely horrified by what the Church has become in the 2000s.
I think that it was obvious that eventually the Religious would tarnish Christianity in exactly the same way that the Religious Tarnished Judaism just prior to Christ in Chronology.
Its easy to blame the Fall of Rome, or the Enlightenment for this, and say that without an overarching denomination the seeds of were spread...or that a word free from secularism and modernization would bring us closer to GOD...and those have contributed...but the truth is...the Roman Catholic Church is guilty of extraordinary sin and corruption and lack of faith in the unification of Science and Religion...that really and honnestly, life under them is as GODless perhaps as life now.
The only time that the Church has lived up to its calling was under Abraham, Moses and Aaron, King David, and the Messianic Jews recorded in the Book of The ACTS of The Apostles.
The Jews Failed, Rome Failed, Protestanitsm is Failing. What we need is a global revival, or the Tribulation...either would do.

DairyFest celebrates industry
June 30, 2007
Angelica Martinez aimed her lasso carefully before throwing it this time. The 6-year-old's family cheered as she finally caught the elusive plastic calf.
The United Dairy Women held their second annual DairyFest Saturday at the Clovis Civic Center. About 50 booths lined the center's parking lot offering games and information about the dairy industry.
"This is an opportunity for anyone with any questions about dairy products (to learn about them)," said United Dairy Women president Michelle Heavyside.
Juan Martinez, Angelica's father, said they drove from Friona, Texas, to come to the fest.
"We came here to see what it was all about," he said.
Heavyside said she expected this year's attendance to reach last year's numbers. About 5,000 people attended the first DairyFest at the Curry County Fairgrounds last year, she said.
"It's a time to celebrate the dairy industry and the people that make it possible for the great bounty of dairy products we have today," she said. "The groovy thing about this is, it's something for the entire family."
A $1 ticket gave people access not only to the fun and music but also to a variety of dairy products such as cheese, milk, ice cream and yogurt as well as hamburgers. Heavyside said about 100 businesses donated their products and services to the event.
Civic center general manager Neil McMullin said this is the biggest event the center has had since the Badlands Motorcycle Rally last year.
"This stretches us a bit ... but we're able to accommodate," said McMullin.
Headlining the evening's activities was country singer Lee Roy Parnell.
Lucy Fritz, 15, of Clovis said she enjoyed the music.
"I liked pretending that I knew how to dance," she said laughing.
Aaron Villalobos said he enjoyed seeing the cow-milking booth. But the Clovis 13-year-old found something he enjoyed looking at more. "The girls," he said.
Heavyside said about 200 people volunteered at the event.
"It's heart-warming and incredible how many people came to help," she said.
