Greek Fire - exact composition unknown composition include such chemicals as liquid petroleum, naphtha, burning pitch, sulphur, resin, quicklimeand bitumen, along with some other "secret ingredient". Umayyad Decline • Series of weak self-indulgent rulers • c. 750. The Merv Revolt – 50,000 Persian warriors settled in E. Iran – converted to Islam, fought in battles, but earned little booty – resented corrupt rule from Baghdad – When Umayyads sent troops to the area, revolt broke out! The Abbasid Revolt • • • • Revolt spread through the eastern provinces Resented Arab rule: the Mawali Marched under the Black Abbasid banner Abu al-Abbas, Muhammed's uncle's g.g. grandson • Alliance with Shi'ite factions – 750: defeat the Umayyad caliph in the Battle of the River Zab The end of the Umayyads • Abu al-Abbas wanted to end the Umayyad family. • Murdered all surviving members at a feast of reconciliation • One escaped, the grandson of the last Umayyad caliph, and fled to Spain • He established the Cordoba Caliphate.

Weakened role in the region • In 1055 the Turkish Seljuks conquered Baghdad, but this had little influence to the position of the Caliphs, who continued to play only his limited symbolical role. • With the fall of the traditional Caliphate in 1258, when the Mongols took over Baghdad, a new line of Abbasid Caliphs continued in Cairo. • In Cairo they played the same type of role as in Baghdad, but now even the symbolical role was limited by geography. • This, the last branch of Abbasids, stayed in office until 1517. Arabic Language & writing • calligraphy – beautiful writing is different from illuminated writing • Arabic script has been used much more extensively for decoration and as a means of artistic expression • Language identifies and connects "Arabs" more than Latin connects the "romanesque) The basmalah ("In the name of God the Merciful the Compassionate" - the opening words of the Quran) is here done in an elaborate thuluth script with the letters joined so that the entire phrase is written without lifting the pen from the paper. Arabesque • • • Quran does not prohibit the representation of humans or animals in drawings, or paintings, but as Islam expanded in its early years, it inherited some of the prejudices against visual art of this kind that had already taken root in the Middle East. – early Muslims tended to oppose figural art (and in some cases all art) as distracting the community from the worship of God and hostile to the strictly unitarian religion preached by Muhammad – all four of the schools of Islamic law banned the use of images and, declared that the painter of animate figures would be damned on the Day of Judgment. Wherever artistic ornamentation and decoration were required, Muslim artists, forbidden to depict, human or animal forms, for the most part were forced to resort either to what has since come to be known as "arabesque" – These are designs based on strictly geometrical forms or patterns of leaves and flowers or, very often, to calligraphy. Arabic calligraphy came to be used not only in producing copies of the Quran (its first and for many centuries its most important use), but also for all kinds of other artistic purposes as well – porcelain and metalware, – carpets and other textiles – Coins – architectural ornament (primarily on mosques and tombs but also, especially in later years, on other buildings as well). Arabic language – the great legacy • Of those people who embraced Islam but did not adopt Arabic as their everyday language, many millions have taken the Arabic alphabet for their own, so that today one sees the Arabic script used to write languages that have no basic etymological connection with Arabic. • The languages of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are all written in the Arabic alphabet, as was the language of Turkey until some fifty years ago. • It is also used in Kashmir and in some places in the Malay Peninsula and the East Indies, and in Africa it is used in Somalia and down the east coast as far south as Tanzania. Influence of Islam up to the creation of the Arabic Empires • Centered in Mecca • Conflict between Mecca and Medina • Hasan and the schism Concepts and terms from Ch. 6 • • • • • • • • • Bedouin Shaykhs Mecca Medina Ka'ba Umma Zakat Dhimmis Wazir • • • • • • • • • Caliph Abu Baker Ridda Jihad Battle of Siffin Karbala Mawali Jizya Ayan Concepts and terms from Ch. 7 • • • • • • • • • • • Harun al-Rashid Buyids Seljuk Turks Saladin Ibn Khaldun Rubiyat Shah-Nama Sa'di Bhaktic cults Shrivijaya Maleluks • • • • • • • • • • • al-Razi Ulama al-Gh azali Sufis Harsha Mahmud of Ghazni Mahmud of Ghur Sati Demak Malacca Succession: Abu Bakr (632-34) • 632 Muhammed died without warning • Abu Bakr elected Caliph (deputy, successor). Friend and early convert. • Ali, son in law to Muhammed was passed over: Too young • Bakr worked and led the movement. • Success: Ridda Wars: fought off Bedouin led by other Charismatic leaders. Islam Spreads • Bakr continued the Arab unification process • Recognized the weakness of the Persian/Byzantine Empires • They were at constant war with one another • Began to take Byzantine territory – Christians and Jews respected: people of the book – Social restrictions, extra taxes – Some Christians saw Muslims as liberators Uthman (644-54) • From the old Umayyad family.

Mission Statement.
The brief: Write me an elegy. Make me famous. Make me proud to be your right-hand man.
Your lover,
The one who would take you regardless,
Who couldn't protect you
And yet could dream of trying.
Comments: Flies feed on dead carcasses, they coalesce like birds of a feather
To swish and swarm around an elixir of life,
And yet from death comes life,
Worms and maggots emerge from the body,
Like a fervent tongue, picking, poking away at the entrance, hiding, mostly hiding and yet,
Waiting to infect.
This is what you remind me of.
Life born from death
And an ending that seemed so final.
Once in a lifetime and a Phoenix rose so gracefully, so beautifully from the ashes of our bones
To become what is in front of our eyes.
Now we're vampiric,
If you killed me again,
I think I'd burn and burn,
High and dry toward the ceiling,
Never looking back
And dreaming
That I could again rise to the challenge of a miracle.
Let's put a hole through the maggot's eye and cast it into the oceans to drown in a river of my choosing.
Yes, let's.
Method : You reel him in, oh-so-slowly,
You charm him round,
Say the perfect things and
Convince yourself.
Next thing youknow, you're standing alone in his hallway,
Muttering to yourself like a lunatic,
On the brink of tears
Asking yourself whatthef**k you're doing and oneandtwoandthree and
He appears, nonchalant as, winding staircase, living metaphor,
Talk him round, try new things,
Believe him when he calls you beautiful.
It couldn't hurt for one day.
Unless it should.
We're not allowed a conclusion,
A continuation of sorts,
A möbius strip of a continuum
And I'm waiting and waiting and waiting
For time to find us and forget us,
Spit us out as something undelectable and morbid,
Flame-food, charcoal,
Charred hearts and burnt out soliloquys,
Resting on our laurels
Until the decider.
Who will run first?

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a bmw e90 3 series. It had high milage so I took it for a service and the mechanic said it was in good condition. Thinking of modifying it as I want to get in to car modification so this will be my first car to do it on, maybe not the easiest one to begin on. Anyways, got to start somewhere and it is my pride and joy. Being a student I had to save up since college to afford it.
So what mods am I looking at? Well, I will start that on an appropriate thread. Just saying hello on this one
Hope to learn a lot and make a few good friends.

So. You Want to Be Emotionless?
Just so you know what you're getting into.
So. You Want to Be Emotionless?
It's easy.
Except it's not.
It'll start off in little ways.
Like arguing with your mom, and you'll get so upset that you decide to block your anger and forget about the incident.
Or trying to ignore when your friend gets invited to a party...and you don't.
But then, it'll progress.
You'll pretend not to notice when people laugh at you when you make a mistake in speech class.
You tell yourself that it shouldn't matter that he asked your friend out, instead of you.
Soon enough, you might tell yourself that it's weak to shed a tear.
You might put on a lot of extra mascara as incentive to keep from crying.
You might punish yourself if you cry.
But you tell yourself it's fine; you've got it all under control.
People might comment on your bravery.
But no, their comments aren't enough. You can't merely be "brave."
You've got to be...emotionless.
You blink back the tears when you find out that one of your family members is really sick.
You take it upon yourself to be the strong one, upon whom everyone can rely.
But it gets worse.
Your friends will come to you with all their problems, since they think you're so strong. They will weigh you down.
But you will not complain, because complainers = weak.
And the consequences for being weak are absolutely unthinkable.
You can't identify your emotions anymore. What emotions you have left, that is - everything seems to have blurred together.
You aren't even tempted to cry when you find out that the person you've liked for years is getting married to someone else.
Think it's bad? Not even close.
Not yet.
It's like all of the sudden, the only things you can feel are numbness and condemnation. Numbness, because your feelings are all but gone.
Condemnation, because you know you're doing the wrong thing in blocking your feelings.
You don't feel anything - not even a twinge of sadness - when your best friend tells you she's moving.
You feel like a loser, because you can't even cry at your own grandpa's funeral.
And eventually, you might wind up sitting on your bed, yanking on your hair and wishing with all your heart that you could cry - because this emotionlessness is worse than you'd originally believed. There is almost nothing you wouldn't give up to shed even one tear!
You might self-harm, just to feel something, anything!
You will wonder why you even began in the first place.
What, oh what have you done?!
You probably don't feel all that much as you read this.
You know you can't become completely strong.
It's futile.
Emotionlessness becomes your every hope, your every goal, your every wish.
You can't attain it.
But you fight for it.
You spend years chasing something that can't be found.
It will kill you.
So. You want to be emotionless?

August Alsina Shares Personal Details On His Mother, & His Current Relationship With Trey Songz [Video]
August Alsina sat down with Angie Martinez as part of Hot 97's In-Studio Series to discuss the events of his life that drove him to the premire of his debut album.
While previewing tracks from his album Testimony, the two had a deep conversation about his deceased brother, the current relationship with his mother and more.
When asked if he had patched things up with Trey Songz he answered,
"Oooh. No. I leave it there. Boom. It ain't no patch up kind of situation, no one's bleeding." [Just different kind of personalities] "That's all."
He also got deep when speaking on his mother, and his family as well.
"I always felt like my mama always put a man before me and her kids. It's a hurtful thing. My step pops has been in my life since I was one, and it's been the same thing since then."
"This is a bit personal, but to keep it 100, me and my mama are [not in a good place]. I do know one thing, that that's my mama and she got to be proud of her son even if you talk to her or if you don't."
Check out August Alsina "The List" here.
Testimony is available now in stores and on iTunes.

Wismec Reuleaux DNA200 in 101-200 Watt
Wismec Reuleaux DNA200Item #: WISMEC-REULEAUX-DNA200-BOX-MOD
Wismec Reuleaux DNA200
Big, powerful and technologically advanced, the Wismec Reuleaux with the DNA 200 chip is a triple-18650 beast of a mod that packs the kind of firepower non-DNA 200 watt mods can only dream about. If you don't already know about the DNA 200 chip at the heart of the Wismec, suffice to say it's regarded as the top chip in all of vaping. The DNA 200 is American-made by Evolv; it's a 50A peak, temperature control masterpiece that will vape in TC mode down to a rated 0.03Ω. The DNA 200 also utilizes a synchronous rectification on its DC-DC converter to preserve battery life and minimize voltage loss, offers active individual battery monitoring, and can be connected via microUSB to a computer to achieve a customized user interface or download usage data. And, naturally, the DNA 200 has become renowned for its unparalleled temperature control accuracy and outrageous power delivery. Set it to 380 degrees, you'll get 380 degrees. Crank it up to 200 watts – you'll get 200 watts! The DNA 200 does what you want it to do!
Around its amazing chip, Wismec has built an amazing mod. The Reuleaux is ergonomic despite a form factor that holds three 18650s, and its bright, customizable display provides instant and accurate information on your wattage or temp control vape. The safety features on the powerful Realeaux are no less impressive: short circuit, over voltage, reverse polarity and temperature protection are all standard, and in tandem with the electronic reverse polarity protection, the innovative Realeaux has positive terminal bumpers in its battery port to ensure that all three of your 18650s are series-oriented for hassle-free power delivery.
If you've been shopping around for a DNA 200 mod, the prices can be pretty discouraging. $300 is a lot of money, and it used to be the least you'd pay for a DNA 200 mod. Well, guess what? The Reuleaux delivers authentic DNA 200 power and control for under $200! The only thing disappointing about this mod is that we're not going to be able to keep it in stock for very long… The time to get one is today!

An investigation into Torex Retail by the Serious Fraud Office has uncovered the possibility of financial irregularities at the firm stretching back 'over a long period'.
The company, which supplies cash till software to some of Britain's biggest retailers, was last week involved in a probe which saw the homes of three company insiders raided.
The situation sparked the resignation of chairman Chris Moore and chief executive Neil Mitchell. It was Mitchell who blew the whistle on concerns at the firm. He is seeking reinstatement.
Investigators are looking into Torex's acquisition of XN Check Out, a company linked to Moore.
A Torex founder, Rob Loosemore, whose home was raided last week, has cashed in shares in the company thought to be worth several million pounds since it floated three years ago but there is nothing to suggest he is the company insider who sold shares prior to its shock profit warning two weeks ago.
Loosemore saw the value of his initial £500,000 investment soar 36-fold in a matter of weeks when the company floated. His bonanza resulted from an 'accelerated initial public offer' made by broker Evolution Beeson Gregory.
City insiders are also questioning the role of Evolution Securities, Torex's broker and adviser for its flotation. A spokesman said it was unaware of any financial irregularities at Torex.
When Torex Retail issued its profits warning, the board told investors turnover for 2006 was 'likely to be significantly below market expectations'. The warning came eight days after Torex Retail announced a string of major contract wins. Borrowings were £23m higher than forecast. Torex's banks, led by Royal Bank of Scotland, have called in KPMG to review the company's cash position.
Despite calls, no company representative would comment on the probe.

In February, some of the Weinberg Next Nuclear Team travelled to Canada to learn more about the exciting developments that Canada is achieving in advanced nuclear. In this series of videos, Weinberg Next Nuclear's director Stephen Tindale interviews Terrestrial Energy's director Simon Irish in Tornoto about his reasons for joining the nuclear industry, opinions on the molten salt reactor design and views on the future of nuclear power.
The Canadian trip and interviews are part of our current work on a report entitled "How Nuclear Innovation Should be Delivered". The report has generously been sponsored by three Nuclear companies: Terrestrial Energy, Moltex Energy and URENCO on behalf of their U-Battery design. This project specific funding allows us resources to research and publish papers that we hope will have significant influence on the future success of the nuclear industry. Vital as this funding is to our work, we are careful to ensure it does not limit our objectivity and balanced view of the industry. Weinberg Next Nuclear retains editorial control and does not lobby for any particular company's design. We are in agreement with our sponsors that nuclear power is vital for a sustainable future and we will continue to work together to achieve the changes necessary to achieve it.

Simple menu but they execute it perfectly!! Everything was delicious! The drive thru line was a block long when we went in and the same when we came out. They must be busy all day long!!!!! Definitely a hotspot!!!
Not much variety on the menu but who cares- their chicken fingers are delicious. Love their special sauce along with great crunchy French fries. Great meal at great price!!
its a simple menu, mostly chicken fingers and a few sides like frys and coleslaw and a variety of sauces for the chicken fingers. the chicken fingers were delicious and tender and the sides were great also. the prices were very reasonable. and i was served quickly. I will be going back. i wish they would also try fish.
Amazing fingers, Coleslaw, Fries, and Homemade Sauces, Every Time. The last time I was there, I was tenth in line at the drive thru. I thought, Oh No! It was less than 5 minutes, I had my food and was GONE. NICE!!!
I'm visiting from out of town and this is my first time ever eating at a Foosacklys..The restaurant reminded me of Zaxby's but with a cheaper menu..You get big chicken fingers and a lot of fries for half the price of Zaxby's. If I lived here I would eat here all the time..The staff was very friendly and courteous..and my...
I especially LOVE the chicken finger salad!!Consistently a MUST GET;best salad ever.Fave dressing is the FOO Sauce.for me, nothing else compares.This is one of those "im not sure about..." places that ,for me, have turned into a consistent favorite.I stop there at least 3x a week, usually.
Love this place. Still one of our favorite places to eat when we are visiting family in Mobile. Perfectly cooked chicken with the right amount of crispy deliciousness! The Foo sauce is incredible. Lines can be long but service is fast.
The food was just ok, nothing great at all. The menu is lacking for variety, the chicken strips were bland and the fries were awful. Tried it twice, months apart, and that is enough for me.
Everyone said how great this place is so went for lunch and found they have chicken fingers ONLY. They were ove-coated, a bit on the dry side, and a bit overdone. Won't rush back here. But I guess if you are desperate for chicken fingers it will suffice.
We come here every time we get to Mobile. Great food and fast service. You know it is a great place to eat by the lines of people. Don't let that discourage you from going there though. They are fast and efficient and the line moves quickly. Their chicken strips and foo sauce are so good we crave it here...

Chapter 4
The next two days at the bar were pretty normal. Colum hadn't returned, and I was beginning to miss the mysterious man. I was afraid I would miss him since I had the next two days off.
It was Saturday night and two hours to closing, and the bar was still going strong with one of new local bands playing. I swayed my hips to the music as I mixed up two Whiskey Sours for the couple at the bar counter in front of me. My nostrils were burning so much with all the mixed scents and expectations coming from the packed building. The couple only had eyes for each other as I placed their drinks in front of them. I closed my eyes and tried to take deep, calming breaths to clear out my sinuses and my mind.
And then I caught that small tendril of cedar aroma that came from the entrance, and everything melted away. I could breathe normal again.
I opened my eyes, and he stood in the doorway, almost morphing it.
"Teegan," Mina yelled. "Teegan, where are you going?"
I didn't hear her, but continued around the bar to walk toward him. He had moved from the doorway toward the corner table where he'd sat the previous times before. I felt cleansed walking toward him. No expectations, no scents of the people around me. It felt great, but oddly disconcerting because of the unknown. I didn't know what to expect from him.
The men at the table quickly got up after taking one look at Colum, their half-full Bud Light bottles forgotten. Now that I was actually in front him, I felt shy. I found that I'd completely misjudged his height and the breadth of his shoulders. He was considerably larger than I remembered.
"Wha-What can I get you?" I said barely above a whisper, but he seemed to hear me.
He looked at me. I'd forgotten the depth of his two-color eyes. They were unblinking and immobile, taking in everything and giving nothing in return. For a time, I breathed in his scent, letting down my guard and relaxing.
"What are you?" He asked only loud enough for me to hear. The shadows created by the votive candle on the table danced around his features, weaving around them.
"I'm Teegan," I said quickly, the peace of the moment shattered. "What can I get you? Would you like to try something else tonight besides the Scotch and ice?" I said slightly stronger.
"No," Colum ordered.
I spun on my heel, moving quickly through the crowd and back toward the bar. My heart was beating fast almost like I'd run a 10K marathon. I grabbed a glass from underneath the bar and filled it with ice trying to keep my hands busy.
"What was that about?" Mina said as she came up beside me. "That guy walks into the bar and you go all spacey like it's God walking through the door."
I looked at her as I grabbed the bottle of Laphroaig from the shelf behind me to mix with the ice, "What do you mean? He's been here before. I just asked what he wanted to drink."
Mina did not look convinced, "We only serve from the bar, and you walked all the way across the floor to get to him."
"Whatever," I said, trying to dismiss the conversation. My sinuses and head were really beginning to hurt after being bombarded by the mix of scents. I put a straw in the glass and a napkin underneath and was back on my way to his table.
My headache got less and less the closer I got to his table. I thought I could feel him looking at me, but the little candle only cast enough light to show the bottom portion of his face. His eyes were hidden in darkness. I looked closer and thought I could see a slight glow from his amber eye, but as quickly as it was there, it was gone.
I placed the drink in front of him, "There ya go, sir. Hope you enjoy it." I tried to turn around, but I felt his hand grab my forearm. He had a firm touch, and the heat radiating from him caused goosebumps to go up my arm. I looked back over my shoulder.
"Meet me after work," he said, but I didn't see his lips move. He let my arm go, and that connection was lost.
"What'd you say?" I asked, my brow creasing as I tried to make sense of what just happened.
Colum lifted his drink, and took a sip almost like a dismissal. He looked at me and then looked back at the band that was playing their final set of the night.

New Berlin WWII veteran gets medal after 65 years
Kenosha - A Wisconsin man who left the U.S. Air Force 65 years ago couldn't keep away the tears when he finally received his World War II Victory Medal this week.
George Michel of New Berlin thought the local school celebration Friday was just like all the other Veterans Day events he'd attended in previous years. But when he noticed family members from out of state in the audience he realized something was afoot.
Then a teacher stepped forward and announced to the audience that Michel was about to receive his Victory Medal. He says when he heard that, "I just about melted."
Michel was with an Air Force squadron in England. A Kenosha News report says his first air mission was days after the D-Day invasion in June 1944.

Perhaps the best way to approach this thorny Problem Is through an old story. The story is repeated here In cer- tain quarters, where knowledge of our past follies In China does not obstruct a realistic view of the present situation. In brief, Boston's celebrated fe- male transcendentallst, Margaret Fuller, once announced, In a moment of enthusiasm, that she "accepted the universe." Miss Puller's acceptance of the Iverse was subsequently reported, to Thomas Carlyle, who remarked dourly: "Gad, she'd better." THE CHINESE COMMUNIST government is now In full posses- sion of China. Going on our bellies' to Mao Tse-tung will earn us rebuff no doubt, as It has earned the British a rebuff. But pretend- Ing that facts are not facts, and that Mao Tse-tune's government Is not ruling China from Felping, will get us nowhere at all. The obvious- ly sensible thing to do Is to open relations with this established gov- ernment, at the earliest appropri- ate moment, and without any In- dication of approval. When they do not fear to be overheard by Congress, the fore- golng is the analysis of the prob- lem of a majority of the experts. To most realistic observers, the analysis seems completely convinc- ing. And this Is true even of the observers who believe (as these correspendents strongly believe) that Secretary Acheson was talking polite nonsense when he argued, in effect that the communists were always what used to be called "the wave of the future" to China. Recent events, moreover, have Arson Charged in Blair Fire Worst Mississippi Flood Since 1937 By The Associated Preai Imperiled townsfolk sandbagged levees or fled before the rising Wabash and Ohio rivers in southern Indiana and Illinois today. Fur- ther downstream the big Mississippi, fed by all the swollen tributaries, prepared for the biggest flood fight in 13 years. The historic fortress city of Vincennes, Ind., expects a Wabash river crest of or 29 feet Friday. But Army engineers say they may save the city from, the floodwaters. They say they have the manpower and equipment to hold out the river if it doesn't go above 30 feet. Vol- unteers even bolster the-concrete floodwall with H. J. Allen, Former Kansas Senator, Dead vastly strengthened the practical arguments for opening relations with the Chinese communist gov- ernment. Behind Acheson's hints about Tito-ism in China, there Is solid Intelligence which the secre- tary did not disclose. ON THE ONE HAND, it is prob- able that Mao Tse-tung's visit to Moscow constitutes one of the great dramas in the whole history of the Communist party. The Chi- nese have a much more specific complaint against the Russians than Acheson indicated. At the close of the war.

Quality fruit flavors from Dog Point
By Stephen Quinn, Special to The China Post Thursday, October 4, 2012, 12:19 am TWN
Special to The China Post--The Marlborough region at the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island produces about 60 percent of that country's wine. The region has plenty of sunshine, low rainfall and cool autumn nights — perfect ingredients for a long growing season and the slow evolution of fruit flavors.
Cloudy Bay in Marlborough has been described as the vineyard that heralded New Zealand's success with sauvignon blanc. Ivan Sutherland and James Healy were key to the success of Cloudy Bay's wines.
Viticulturalist Sutherland started with the vineyard in 1986, and oenologist Healy joined in 1991. They left Cloudy Bay in 2002 to start their own venture and produced their first wines two years later under the Dog Point label. In recent years these wines have attracted considerable attention worldwide.
Dog Point concentrates on sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir. When grown on appropriate sites in Marlborough these varieties express excellent fruit characteristics. It is the fruit flavors that make Dog Point wines stand out.
Many of the vines were planted in the late 1970s on free-draining clay loam soils that give unique flavors to the wines. Dog Point continues to supply grapes to Cloudy Bay.
The 2011 Dog Point sauvignon blanc is a luscious wine that James Healy said reflects the region's soils. It offers aromas of tropical fruits and passionfruit mixed with ripe citrus notes at the grapefruit end of the spectrum. It has a touch of minerality and a refreshing and crisp finish. It should best be enjoyed as a young wine though it could be cellared for a few years.
The other sauvignon blanc they make is the 2010 Section 94. This is a special block of 6 hectares that makes an unusual and delightful wine that some critics describe as "sauvignon blanc with a difference." It is full of character with considerable depth and complexity, and is one of the nicest examples of sauvignon blanc I have encountered.
Healy said they wanted a wine with good acidity and thus did not use any malolactic fermentation to allow a focus on the wine's acidity and minerality. This sauvignon blanc spent 18 months in older oak barrels. Ivan said extended lees contact in older oak produced a wine with considerable texture and intense citrus and mineral flavors.
The 2009 chardonnay displays a similar purity of fruit that is compelling. All wines are hand harvested. Ivan said machine harvesting was the "kiss of death" to winemaking because machines produced grape juice that was too coarse.
The chardonnay offers lovely aromas of ripe citrus with hints of toast and roasted nuts plus savory overtones coming from extended contact with yeast lees. This is a stylish wine with a rich body with flavors of nuts and figs plus a chalky textural complexity that comes from stirring of the lees and malolactic fermentation. It is drinking well now but could be cellared for three to five years.

I agree. I loved the play at first, because I thought they were using it to set up some razzle dazzle. But all we see is the same play over and over again. Granted, this play was really designed for B-Jax, who would add, at least the threat, of throwing from that formation. Until we get a RB who shows he can do that (Lockridge's attempt at Baylor won't get him many more tries), the play just guarantees that the D will rush to the line of scrimmage to crush the RB.

by: Nelson Hicks Updated:
Where can people witness death-defying stunts, throw an ax, meet a king and attend a joust, all while eating a turkey leg? In Fairburn of course, at the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
A trip to the Georgia Renaissance Festival is a trip back to a 16th century kingdom and village. Visitors can shop, eat and revel with a cast of nearly 1,000 colorfully costumed characters and enjoy 10 stages of music and comedy shows set against a permanent backdrop of Tudor homes and enchanting cottages. This is the 27th year of the festival.
Shows this year include Barely Balanced, a physical daring and awe-inspiring acrobatic show that's full of laughs, a birds of prey show, a funny mud show, a hypnotherapist, a flying debris show and the joust, among others.
GALLERY: Enjoy turkey legs, kings, amazing stunts at Georgia Renaissance Festival
Aside from the shows, there are games, rides, activities, demonstrations, music and food.
Popular food choices include the pork chop on a stick, steak on a steak, the king's weenie, fried mac and cheese on a stick and the infamous turkey leg.
The Festival is open weekends now thru June 3. Every weekend has a different theme. Kids free weekend, pirates weekend and fantasy weekend are just a few of the upcoming events. Visitors can come in costume any weekend.
New this year, there's a different featured guest performer every weekend. Check the festival's website for who is performing each weekend.

Madonna over the weekend refuted French government claims that she owed 10 million francs ($2.2 million) in back taxes.Speaking on the French TV news magazine show "7 sur 7," the singer said, "It's true, I owed them money a very long time ago (but that has been paid). It's not very nice to come into a country and find you owe $2 million. I think it's the government, or whatever organization, using me to try to make a point to the workers that they should pay their taxes." In a separate meeting with reporters, the performer added, "I'm paid up with the tax administration, otherwise I couldn't come to France. I think the tax commissioner just wants to meet me."

to Bountiful Soaps!
are a family-owned business located in Southeastern Oklahoma.
Bountiful soaps are handcrafted in small batches using the
centuries-old method called "cold process." They are
not made from a melt and pour base that is commonly sold in
craft stores. The cold process allows natural glycerin to
remain in the soap.
Bountiful soap is different from commerical soap. For one
thing, each bar contains 50% olive oil, an ingredient that
forms a breathable layer on your
skin that actually attracts moisture and holds it where you
need it the most.
Soaps also contain saponified olive and palm kernel oil, coconut oil, castor
oil and a large percentage of Shea and Cocoa Butters for extra moisture
to the skin. Some bars contain goat milk, oatmeal, or honey
from our own hives. Our colorants are either spices, natural
earth, or plant-based materials.
will noticed how wonderful our soap smells. Our bars are scented
with real essential oils, not artifical fragrances. These
oils have favorable properties - lavender, for instance, soothese
skin wounds and sunburn, eucalyptus is an effective stress
reliever. These are big bars too, averaging almost 4 1/2 ounces
each. Each bar is labelled and wrapped in a cello bag for a gift giving quality
scent you choose you are sure to enjoy these mild moisturiziing
bars every day.
soaps are 50 percent Olive Oil, pure essential oils and cured
4 - 6 weeks.

Congratulations on your statesmanlike tour of Egypt, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Now is it too much to ask that you give five minutes' attention to the desperate plight of millions of your own people?
Sweeping in from the airport behind the motorcycle outriders, have you even a smidgen of a clue what life is like for the commuters of this city? Today, as every day, Tube trains and rail stations will be jammed with bodies; squalor will rule the coaches and services will be cancelled willy-nilly. You are too busy to give a second glance to the discredited scheme for the public-private partnership. Your hapless Transport Secretary has lost all credibility, even when he is not on holiday.
After five years of New Labour, not a single useful step has yet been taken to modernise the Underground. The Government has devoted its big transport effort not to helping passengers, but to shafting Ken Livingstone and Bob Kiley. On the railways, union militants of the kind we have not seen since the Seventies are wrecking journeys with impunity.
Every prime minister enjoys launching the SAS against international foes, undoing the Taliban and being f?ted at the high tables of Washington. But the real test of your premiership will be whether you can save Britain's public services. So far, if you take a look down the platform, you will see why most Londoners think you are failing miserably. The railways - and passengers - appear to have been abandoned to their fate.
Every Evening Standard reader knows that London passengers are treated worse than cattle - more like criminals. They have few rights, low expectations and no chance of remission for good behaviour.
Tube and commuter rail managers exploit every opportunity to cash in on their monopolies. Last week it was reported that Connex has applied to the Strategic Rail Authority to introduce trains with no lavatories and fewer seats in an attempt to cram in more passengers. Only a state-backed monopolist could do this. Meanwhile, the RMT and Aslef strike at will.
Ministers are spared the misery and indignity of London commuter travel, whisked to their offices by chauffeurs. Presumably your deputy "Honest John" Prescott, the man who was responsible for Britain's declining transport system for most of the past five years, has two of those as well.
"Security considerations" give New Labour's commissars free passage on our bus lanes. Tube travel for ministers means the odd photo-call on a specially-cleaned train for a single-stop mid-morning journey from Westminster to St James's Park.
You ought to try peak-hour commuting one day. Then you might understand just how much rage there is towards the politicians who created this shambles. It is not just uncomfortable, it is degrading.
The Tube and the overground commuter services have become a disgrace to a great city, a great nation. And just what is your government doing about it?
For the overwhelming majority of London commuters, the car is not an option. Half of all railway journeys made in Britain each day are on the Underground. Many of the other half - on the national railways - involve London commuters. This enforced commitment to public transport makes the capital massively different to the rest of the country. Because Londoners cannot switch to an alternative mode of transport, your government has been able to ignore the plight of the capital's travelling public.
Londoners do the right thing by the environment. They also do their best to achieve the Government's transport policy objective of getting people out of their cars and on to public transport. Eighty per cent of central London commuters arrive by public transport. In the City, the figure is over 90 per cent. Bus, Tube and rail travel have been on the increase in the capital. Each time your ministers boast public transport use has been increasing, it is London that allows them to do so.
Recently, your PR machine has been making glowing claims about increases in bus and rail use in Britain. The reality is that bus passenger numbers only rose in 2000-01 because of a four per cent jump in London. In the rest of the country, patronage actually fell by one per cent. If I were your old friend Ken Livingstone I would make hay about this - 2000-01 was his first year in charge of London's buses. Awkwardly, in your own home region - the North-East - bus use dropped by four per cent. Red Ken has saved your political skin.
The same is true on the railways. Nationally your Government has highlighted a "three per cent rise" in rail passenger numbers in 2000-01. However, most of this increase was accounted for by a four per cent jump in London commuters.
Inter-city rail use plunged by three per cent, while ridership on provincial systems such as the Glasgow Underground and Tyne & Wear Metro also fell. Outside London, rail and bus use was declining in 2000-01, despite strong economic growth.
Yet despite doing the right thing, London commuters have been abandoned. Your ministers and officials have failed to get to grips with the rail commuter system and Underground upon which so many of them depend. Doubtless, Treasury advisers cynically tell the Chancellor that simply by making life hell for road users, commuters will be forced on to the capital's public transport system, however dire it is. This would be old-fashioned, old Labour, levelling-down equality. It is not exactly the high-quality public service ethos of which you so often speak.
There can be no way of evading this responsibility. Your government has now been in charge for almost five years. Whatever mess you inherited from the Tories, it is no longer possible simply to point backwards and blame the ghosts of Conservative transport ministers. Your government appointed the members of the Strategic Rail Authority, which was set up to sort out the railways. So far, things have only got worse. Your ministerial colleagues must also take responsibility for the appalling decline in London Underground's service quality since 1997.
The Tube last year failed to achieve any of the seven of the service targets set for it. These targets were less demanding than those set for earlier years. Measures of overcrowding, punctuality and cancellations on both the Underground and commuter lines show an utterly miserable picture. So much for a government committed to public service excellence.
Londoners are simply fed up with being told the much-delayed public-private partnership will solve the Tube's problems. PPP contracts are still not signed, despite strong Treasury support and the fact your government has a massive Parliamentary majority. Even if the PPP is finalised in April (which is very unlikely), it will take ages before the decline in service quality can be halted. Your government will fight the next general election with the Tube in a worse condition than it is in today, with the PPP (and thus the Government) blamed by Mayor Ken Livingstone for every breakdown and failure.
In your New Year's message, you stated: "It will take sustained investment and a constructive long-term partnership between the public and private sectors" to improve the railways. The trouble is, we have been reading this kind of platitude for five years. Either the government really wants to improve the railways and the Tube, or it should admit the task is beyond it. The many months it has taken to appoint a handful of new managers to the SRA and to start re-constructing Railtrack is breathtakingly languid.
Everyone knows extra public money isn't everything. But surely you are just a little embarrassed that average investment in the core Underground in the five years since 1997 has been lower than the figure for the six years of John Major's premiership?
For many commuters, New Labour means a daily liaison with filthy, slam-door, Southern Region trains. I doubt this is what you really want. Years of waiting for the PPP and months of dithering over the future of Railtrack suggest the Transport Department now needs the intervention and surgery you meted out to the Ministry of Agriculture during the foot and mouth outbreak. The capital, more than any other part of the country, depends on an effective and efficient rail system.
International political considerations cannot wholly replace domestic ones. Surely the time has come to take personal action to sort out London's railways.
Yours sincerely, Tony Travers

Disaster diagnoses and bone tumor tragedies (Can't none of us be perfect, right?)
There's nothing more demoralizing than failing in your job. It's a reality all of us face daily. (Can't none of us be perfect, right?) And when we do screw things up it's enough to send you under the covers for a long bout of escapist slumber.
That's what happened last night after I learned of last Saturday morning's misdiagnostic mishap. Yeah…I missed it. Here's the scoop…
While all of you were having a good time sleeping in I was fielding a waiting room full of unhappy emergencies in advance of Memorial Day's obligatory shut-down.
Among my patients, a dog of indeterminate breed with three earthbound legs. The fourth one, a hind limb, didn't deign to touch the floor throughout the entire visit (nor indeed since the previous evening's walk).
Feeling up the afflicted leg for signs of discomfort and instability, I found his knee especially ouchy. Unable to manipulate it due to his pain and anxiety, I gave the guy a break and eased up on the power-exam.
Because we were so extra-busy that day, I discussed the concept of a cruciate ligament tear as the most obvious culprit. Reasoning that such an injury required a surgical consultation ASAP, I explained that I was short-staffed and asked if they would mind waiting for the surgeon to take the necessary X-rays.
Agreeing readily, my compliant clients went home with instructions for strict cage rest, a few high-powered pain relievers and an appointment on Tuesday to see the specialist. Sounds like it should've been a job well done, right?
Not exactly. Tuesday closed with a phone call from the surgeon informing me of the likelihood of a bone tumor about four inches down from the knee. So much for my discussion of cruciate disease. I wasn't even in the same anatomic zip code.
The worst? On Saturday I wasn't even together enough to give my normal spiel on the list of different possibilities for knee or near-the-knee pain.
Cruciate. Cruciate. Cruciate. Yeah, usually this mantra holds for me (truly, I'm not often wrong on so simple a diagnosis). But bone tumor is an obvious alternative I will typically mention—especially when the pain is on the heavier side.
Of course the surgeon tried to make me feel not too badly about it, using words like "subtle" and "barely perceptible." But I knew better and said so.
His take? A sunny, "But you still did right by the patient. He wouldn't have gotten any better care had you been more meticulous in your examination and your explanations. And you won't make the same mistake again, right?"
My answer? A grumbling, "At least not this week."

Stocks rose to new highs in stronger volume Tuesday amid growing optimism about the U.S. economy.
The Nasdaq hit its highest level since November 2000 while the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 hit fresh all-time highs.
The S&P 500 outperformed, rising 1%; the Dow added 0.8% and Nasdaq gained 0.7%. Volume rose 19% on the NYSE and 11% on the Nasdaq compared with Monday, according to preliminary data. Investors were encouraged by bullish comments about the stock market made earlier today from influential hedge fund manager David Tepper of Appaloosa Management.
Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency said surging North American oil production will be as "transformative to the market over the next five years as was the rise of Chinese demand over the last 15."
"The good news is that this is helping to ease a market that was relatively tight for several years," said IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven.
Oil fell for the fourth straight session, with the June contract settling at $94.21, down 96 cents, or 1%. Gold also extended its losing streak to four sessions as the U.S. dollar gained ground. June gold fell $9.80, or 0.7%, to $1,424.50 an ounce.
In the stock market today, among IBD 50 issues, Priceline.com (PCLN) rose 2% to a new high in strong volume. It's extended 6% from its recent breakout over 745.34.
SodaStream (SODA) shot up 12% to a new high and is now 19% above a 54.09 buy point following a breakout on May 10 that was fueled by a better-than-expected quarterly earnings report.
Several other names in the IBD 50 turned in solid performances. Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NSM) rose 3% in heavy volume. The mortgage servicer cleared a 42.34 buy point last week and has now risen for seven straight sessions, all in heavy trade. Competitor and fellow IBD 50 firm Ocwen Financial (OCN) gained 2%, marching higher for the ninth straight session.
Railroads also did well. Big gainers in the group included Kansas City Southern (KSU), up 4% to a new high as it broke out of a flat base; Genesee & Wyoming (GWR) and Union Pacific (UNP) each rose 2%.
On the downside, Tesla Motors (TSLA) staged a spectacular reversal, falling 4% in fast trade. Shares hit an intraday high of 97.12 but finished at 83.27. Tesla recently reported its first-ever quarterly profit of 12 cents a share, smashing estimates. Sales soared 1,762% from a year ago to $561.8 million.
Eagle Materials (EXP) and small-cap 3D printer firm ExOne (XONE) was also due to report earnings after the bell.
Profit at Eagle Materials, a distributor of building products, is expected to rise 100% from a year ago to 40 cents a share. Sales are seen rising 47% to $171.4 million. The stock is near the top of a 10-week consolidation, less than 1% off a 52-week high.
ExOne, meanwhile, has been in rally mode ahead of quarterly results. The provider of 3D printing services is expected to lose 11 cents a share, but sales should be up 73% to $9.15 million.

I Can Not Tell
I'm depressed so I cry,
and feel nothing all day and night.
In public I smile,
and hold my head up high.
Apparently I'm proud,
too proud to have the right.
The right to say no,
when it becomes that late at night.
So I will tune out,
and play dead to the world.
It won't be too long,
before the farce becomes real.
Nights are sleepless,
day is non-existent.
The fear has control,
of my body, heart and soul.
They left me alone,
alone to think.
Look what happened,
I've gone over the brink.
Now I sit here,
scratching, scrubbing and rubbing.
Thinking to my self,
why bad times never seem to fade.
The dirt on his hands,
were filled with an unforgivable sin.
These hands he used,
and not a sound was ever herard.
Was the silence of hatred,
or some corrupt sense of love?
I can not tell,
please help me god above!

The fraternity came up with the fundraiser four years ago. They spend all week camping near their tents, collecting donations and educating students about the program.Fraternity member J.D. Kray says fellow students are happy to pitch in. Last year, they raised 14 hundred dollars."A lot of people are very receptive. They don't know much about it, so they'll stop and ask what's going on, what are we doing. As soon as we tell them, they're very receptive and think it's a great cause. And they almost always give money," Kray says.YouthAIDS targets people from the ages of 15-24 in more than 60 countries.The fraternity brothers spend 24-hours a day at the camp out, although they do take time off for class.They'll be there until Friday.

The 6-foot-4, 276-pound lineman -- who bounced back from two knee surgeries in 2005 -- is also drawing serious interest from a number of clubs around the country. The Giants, Jets, Chiefs, and Panthers were all at his Pro Day workout and held a formal interview with him at the Combine. Other teams that sat down with him for formal interviews in Indianapolis included the Browns, Saints, Dolphins, Steelers, Bengals, Falcons and 49ers.
"I just don't want to let anyone beat me. It's just me being a competitor," he said. "You don't want to let anyone else show you up.
"I feel like because of that, it's kind of helped me out these last seasons. I just go all the time and coaches like that. I've got to give credit to my coaches because they really pushed me when I first got to Gainesville."
McDonald heads into this year's NFL Draft with some proven versatility that some of his fellow defensive linemen lack -- game experience as both a defensive tackle and a defensive end, shifting mid-season if need be to help his team.
"I think it's helpful that I can play both," he said. "If a team wants to draft me at end, they can draft me at end. If they want to move me inside and tell me to gain some weight – I'll do that. I play both of them the same, one just as good as the other."
Finishing his career at Florida with 45 game appearances and 36 starts, McDonald made 133 tackles (84 solo), 25.5 tackles for a loss, and was credited with 10 sacks. He also forced two fumbles, recovered two, and knocked down 6 pass attempts.

Obama, Harper eye new security plan to ease trade
By Doug Palmer and Louise Egan
WASHINGTON/OTTAWA (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper agreed on Friday to a new approach to U.S. and Canadian security that they said would help boost trade by reducing logjams at the border.
"Today we've agreed to several important steps to increase trade, improve our competitiveness and create jobs for both our peoples," Obama said at a joint press conference in Washington.
"The United States and Canada are not simply allies, not simply neighbors. We are woven together like perhaps no other two countries in the world," Obama said.
Harper told reporters the two countries would work together "in the context of a North American security perimeter" to fight terrorism and other threats.
"We're not talking about eliminating the border but rather simplifying, wherever possible, the management of the border as well as the free flow of people and goods across that border," Harper said.
The United States and Canada are each other's biggest trading partners, with about $1.5 billion in goods and services and 300,000 travelers crossing the border each day.
Much of the trade is between companies producing a final manufactured product.
Business groups in both countries have long been concerned about the "thickening" of the 5,525-mile (8,900-km) U.S.-Canadian border due to security measures enacted after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Continued...
