Thanks to Divino Wine and Spirits (www.divinowine.com/) for accommodating Wineguys TV. Today William Davis of Wineguys TV sits down with Pedro Branco to talk about the wines and the Ports of Quinta do Portal. About: Quinta do Portal is a family fine winemaking company that embraced with passion the "Boutique Winery" concept. We proudly produce DOC Douro wines, premium Port Wines and Moscatel. This project that started in the early 90's of the XX century, had on its base a centenary estate where our family has been producing Port since the last years of the XIX century. Our commitment to the production of quality wines has been, since the first moment, the heart and soul of Quinta do Portal. This effort, passion and dedication have been recognized both at a national and international level during the course of the years. Please visit them at www.quintadoporto.com to learn so much more about them. Go Buy some Porto!!!
Each week we post an article from "DearWineBuyer". Why? We like them…
I secretly love it when a Winebuyer thinks he or she could do my job better than I. Or when they scamper off to try their hand at winemaking because they "know what sells." Yes, my job probably does look pretty easy, doesn't it? I just fill a bag with the hundreds of samples I have on hand at any given moment just to fulfill your whims, I travel all over the world to visit my wineries (snort), and the most effort I exert in a day is heaving this bag around. Cake walk, right?
And then inevitably, somewhere down the line Winebuyer learns the hard way that this job isn't just pouring bottles, reciting wine facts, and smiling pretty. Check your smug Sommelier certification at the door because I guarantee that's not getting you anywhere.
Note: REPublic posts are reader-submitted
Dear Wine Buyer,
Thank you for showing me how extremely interested you are in my company by asking me consistently to help you get a job. I know how you think that what I do is all bells and whistles, and you would have such an easy time doing my job. Hopefully you could even show me how you would do it better than me.
Yes, I agree that your job can be kind of boring and there can be a little stress for you here and there, but I also know that you work 35 hours a week and are always home for dinner. You would no doubt do my job better than me without having to work at least 60 hours a week minimum, and then going home to study for the wines you are going to bring out to sample the next day. Most likely you could even figure out how to drive less than 150 miles a day, and surely you would never have someone blow off an appointment after you drove 20 miles out of the way to see them.
I sincerely appreciate that you do have a fair amount of wine knowledge that you have acquired from me and my kind from our researching the great selling points for you to make your job easier. My company sincerely appreciates all that you do for us by letting me have less than five percent of your wine list, and we are greatly in your debt for the 15 cases you bought from me last year. It truly is spectacular that your club has such a great demand for my wines that you had to have every one of those cases the very same day you ordered it. I do suppose that I am in your debt for meeting one of your owners at a tasting elsewhere, and…. Read "The Rest Of the Story"

For much of last season, St. John's coach Jason Miller was being constantly reminded of how bright the future looked for his program. Miller brought in a couple of promising recruiting classes, and the Red Storm battled some of the top teams in the nation down to the wire with a team dominant with freshmen and sophomores.
Don't get Miller wrong: he is very encouraged by the young players, but he said his team didn't get it done at 4-10, failing to close out fourth-quarter leads against No. 2 Notre Dame and Villanova and suffering close losses to Stony Brook, Hofstra and Yale. Turn around half of those setbacks and the Red Storm could have become a bubble team for the NCAA Tournament.
"The key for us was not letting all the talk about how promising the future was become an excuse for us,'' Miller said. "We have not done that. We continue to work hard and want to be better than 4-10.''
A new season is always an opportunity to wipe away the past, but Miller wants his young team to remember blowing the leads against the Irish and Wildcats and the 20 goals that Syracuse put up in the season finale.
"I want those to hurt,'' Miller admits. "I want it to be fuel for our guys.
"We walked off the field and everybody was saying, 'You're so close, you're so young. The future is going to be so bright.' I said, 'Don't go for it. We had every opportunity to win those games and we didn't do it. That's what I want our guys to focus on. Just being a year older doesn't mean we're going to be any better. If we continue to work hard, then being a year older will make us better.''
The Red Storm returns their entire attack unit and added two promising freshmen to that mix as well. The addition of 13 freshmen and two transfers has bolstered the lineup, and Miller believes goalie Jeff Lowman is one of the better netminders in the Big East.
"We are hell-bent to make the Big East Tournament this year, and that's tough sledding for anybody in this conference, not necessarily just us,'' Miller said. "We feel we have the pieces in place to do it.''
The Red Storm had to mix in 15 new players, and Miller was encouraged by what he saw.
"We just wanted to see in the big picture a lot of different things,'' Miller said, "what we have to work with and how we have to put all the right pieces in the right places. That's kind of a moving target.''
Miller believes that picture has become clearer on the offensive end, but he's still feeling a little apprehensive about the defensive side, not seeing enough players step up and secure starting nods prior to the start of preseason camp.
"Defensively we still have a lot of work to do,'' Miller said.
One major hurdle has been injuries that sidelined at least 13 players.
"In that case, it's been down with so many guys hurt,'' Miller said, "but there will be an upside to it. A lot of guys are getting quality minutes, so there will be a silver lining in it.''
Defensive midfielder Matt Hurst sets the tone for the Red Storm with his intensity. "He's our best lead-by-example guy,'' Miller said. Long stick middie Dylan Ayers is another high-tempo player who feeds the team with his energy. Terrence Leach broke his foot in last year's scrimmage with UMass, and Miller believes he can finally live up to the promise of becoming a first-line midfielder. Harry Kutner (4 goals last season), arguably one of the best players on the team, has been moved from attack to midfield, creating a ripple effect in the competition.
Ryan Fitzgerald (8G, 9A) and Keith Switzer (11) ran first-line midfield last season and Alex Lagodich played good minutes.
In goal, Miller believes this is the opportunity for Jeff Lowman (8.36 GAA, .552) to shine.
The two most-promising recruits are attackmen Joey Leonard and Stefan Diachenko. "They're definitely going to get a fair shake,'' Miller said.
Leonard hails from nearby Hicksville, and was a member of the U.S. U-19 Team. A right-hander, Leonard has an outstanding shot with range and very good timing. The Canadian Diachenko, also a right-hander, has tremendous hands and is an excellent finisher. The one problem Miller is having is developing the proper sets for Diachenko, who is an excellent catch-and-shoot guy but may not be a great motion player yet.
Miller's job becomes more complicated because he's trying to find a way to get Leonard and Diachenko into a lineup that already has its entire attack returning. "That's a good problem,'' Miller concedes.
Two more promising newcomers are goalie Ryan Quinn and Blair Bonner.
"Ryan has been better than we thought he would be,'' Miller said. "We liked him in the recruiting process, and he has gotten better and better over the course of three weeks. Blair is very athletic. He just has to adjust to the college game a little bit, and when he does he's going to be really good.''
If the attack lineup is a good problem for Miller, the battle for two defensive openings is a bad one. Six players are battling for the starting jobs on defense and no three have firmly established themselves during fall camp. "It's one of those things where it looks different to me day to day,'' Miller said.
"We're at the point where I think all six can do things real well,'' Miller continued, "but none of them really stepped up to prove they are the complete package yet.''
Sophomore James Lang returns after missing all of last season because of a knee injury. Junior Colin Canty has been the fourth guy for two years and looking to move up. Sophomore Andrew Viscusi shifted from midfield to close defense in the latter half of last season. Transfers Harry Freid (Michigan) and Zach Fox (Wagner) are in the mix, as is freshman Mark Difrangia.
Is it OK that the jobs remain open for now? "The time frame is better in the fall,'' Miller said. "When we come back in the spring time, it's two weeks of practice and then we scrimmage. I was hoping to have a clear idea at the end of fall practice of who those guys might be. It doesn't put me into panic mode if I don't know who they are, but I was hoping that at the end of five or six weeks we would know.''
In 2010 the Red Storm decided to give the Tunnel to Towers Run a try, and they got hooked. The charity event is named after New York firefighter Stephen Siller, who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, in full fireman's gear, in order to reach the World Trade Center, where he lost his life on September 11, 2001.
"It's a tremendous experience, a very New York-thing,'' Miller said. "We did it as a community service thing a year ago, but we came out of it realizing our guys got so much out of it.''
Miller said people don't realize how hot it can get inside the tunnel, especially with 25,000 people running, and gives him a deeper appreciation for what Siller did on that ill-fated day.
"When you run out of the tunnel on the Manhattan side and you look at the Freedom Tower and all the firemen lined up with the portraits of the guys who lost their lives on 9-11, it's an awesome feeling,'' Miller said.
Following the run, the team and their parents got together for a brunch in uptown Manhattan.
"It's probably the best team thing that we do off the lacrosse field,'' Miller said.

You can catch the Red Storm in the Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J on April 1, 2012. St. John's will be taking on Notre Dame. Last year in the event, the Red Storm downed Rutgers, 9-8. More information is available on the Inside Lacrosse event here.

Small block chevy spark plug routing
I am new to the forum. I am looking forward to sharing information and gaining some new knowledge and insights to the hot rod side of the hobby. I am looking for some guidance on routing spark plug wires in my 48 Olds. I have a small block chevy with a 1974 block. The previous owner used cable ties. I am looking for looms or shields that will work with rams horn exhaust manifolds. The 74 block I have does not have holes in the block to fasten the older shields. Anyone have any suggestions. Pictures would be helpful. Thanks
plug wires
have u tried the ones that are held down by the 2 bottom bolts of the valve cover.. more wire separators then anything..
Thanks. Your suggestion is a possibility, but I was hoping to route the plug wires under the exhaust manifolds.
This is tidy for me, going under the headers the wire will drop when you remove it from the plug.
This way I never mix up plug wires and you can remove the dist. cap and wires all in one lump.
R&M Billet Wire Looms 1102K
Thanks. I will look into this option as well.
As you probably know, going above with plug wires and rams horn manifolds means the wires will get cooked where they lay on the exhaust. Best to keep them underneath as you planned, and use some brackets to drop down from the lower valve cover bolts.
You could get something like the Mr Gasket wire loom adapters #9870, and then instead of using the small 90 degree brackets to mount them above, make small aluminum sheetmetal brackets to locate them below the rams horn exhaust. Or just make the sheetmetal brackets to drop off the valve covers and tie the plug wires to a hole in the fabbed bracket. The aluminum sheet is easy to bend and cut into strips, and gives a nice finished looking support.
I like that idea. I checked out the Mr. Gasket looms. I can easily fabricate some aluminim brackets. I also like the idea of fabricating a couple brackets to drop down for fasteners. It is a little cold here yet and I have the exhaust manifolds off. As it warms up, I will try and make something that looks clean and works. When I get done, I will post some pictures. It may be something someone else can use. Thanks for the suggestions.
Jeg's has wire looms for under header routing. May be what you need. Anyone else that needs the long alum wire looms like mentioned above, google White Performance engines, they have alot of stuff like that. I got a 31 in alum rad for $110 that is real nice. Sharp fab polished valve covers for my sb chevy for $72 including shipping.
Thanks. I will check out JEGS too.
Yea jegs will have what you need.
mine go down the tops of the valve covers

I've never had issue with my curls. My whole family is curly and, I have to say (modesty isn't my strong suit), I think I have the nicest curls of the group. People always used to tell me that they loved my curls, that I was so lucky, etc., etc. I asked hairdressers to straighten my hair after trims a couple of times just for fun, but I knew I'd be going back to being my curl-proud self the next day.
Then for whatever reason I got into straightening it. I suppose I was in a "phase." I wanted something different. Most people I knew complained about my straight hair and told me they liked it better curly. After about a year, I got sick of the hassle and started wearing it curly again. I love it and can't imagine going back to wearing it straight anytime soon.
Only one friend has given me any grief over it, and she makes me so angry that I just want to scream. She shows me infomercials for "miracle" products when she knows I'm not interested. She brings it up on occasion. I keep telling her how much I like my curls and how NOT interested in straightening I am. At first I tried to be polite - it takes a long time, it's damaging, etc., etc. Now I just snap at her. I don't like my hair straight! The worst thing she ever said was that straight hair "looks so nice if you're dressing up." Like curly hair is lazy and too casual, and makes someone look like a slob. That's the only time I've ever really felt angry at someone for their attitude towards curls... so I guess I've been very lucky to have curly support around.
The cutest thing ever was when my darling little brother told me he didn't like my hair straight because he felt like I was being unfaithful to our curly family. What a doll he is!

Comexim Sees Brazil's Coffee Carryover at 33.95 Million Bags
Carryover coffee stockpiles owned by private companies in Brazil, the world's largest producer of the beans, totaled 33.95 million bags on Jan. 1, according to Santos, Brazil-based exporter Comexim Ltda.
The country's government also held another 1.63 million bags, bringing the total carryover inventories in the period to 35.6 million bags, the company said in a report e-mailed today. Private stockpiles were 3.77 million bags in July, while the government held the same amount, according to the report. A bag of coffee weighs 60 kilograms (132 pounds).
"There is lot of coffee in Brazil," John Wolthers, a coffee trader at Comexim, said by phone from Santos today. "The carryover is one of the biggest I've seen in a long time."
Brazil shipped and consumed most of the coffee it produced for many years, Comexim said. Reduced exports, a delayed harvest and an increase in the use of robusta beans by roasters at the expense of arabica coffee contributed to the rise in the country's carryover stockpiles, according to the report.
Coffee exports from Brazil fell 16 percent to 28.3 million bags last year, according to Cecafe, Brazil's coffee exporters' council. Arabica coffee has lost as much as 6 percent of demand to robusta since 2011-12 as roasters turned to the cheaper beans, Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG) estimated in a report yesterday.
Farmers in Brazil will harvest 55.8 million bags in the 2012-13 season, according to Comexim. The carryover stockpiles indicate producers still have a lot to sell, Wolthers said. Arabica coffee traded on ICE Futures U.S. in New York declined 37 percent last year, making it the worst performer in the Standard & Poor's gauge of 24 raw materials. Lower prices have prompted producers in Brazil to hold back beans.
New Crop
"As time goes by, producers will see the new crop starting and at some point they will have to start selling," Wolthers said, adding that buyers were also waiting for prices to fall.
The next coffee crop in Brazil will be a record for a year in which trees enter the lower-yielding half of the two-year cycle, Comexim said, without providing a figure.
"We are having abundant rainfall in the coffee districts and this will only be very positive for this 2013-14 crop, which will be the biggest Brazilian off-crop ever," Comexim said.
Arabica coffee for March delivery was 0.7 percent higher at $1.5665 a pound by 12:44 p.m. in New York.

When my sister and I were young, we loved the 1960s space opera "Lost in Space." And, without a doubt, our favorite episode involved various members of the wandering Robinson family silently disappearing from the Jupiter 2 one at a time, in apparent defiance of the laws of physics.
In fact, every member of the crew vanished until just two remained — and their low-tech solution as the ship careened through the galaxy at light speed was to tie themselves together with a length of rope. Then, one turned a corner, and the rope went slack.
Several weeks ago a group of World War II veterans quietly gathered in Atlanta for what in all likelihood would be their final reunion. All in their 90s, they were the last remnant of a group of American volunteers that secretly traveled overseas in 1941 to fly combat missions against a brutal Japanese offensive in Asia. Their heroic exploits earned them the nickname "Flying Tigers." To this day the Chinese speak of them in reverent tones, and few Flying Tigers were more revered than the spirited squadron leader known as Scarsdale Jack.
Thoughts on the election
We are writing on Wednesday, Nov. 9. We are very happy. The candidate we supported for almost two years is now president-elect. We are part of the "common folk." We knew people wanted a better economy, more opportunities, not more elitism, not more racism or gender bias.
In the wake of last week's earth-shattering national election with implications that will likely take years to completely understand, Colorado's reputation as one of the nation's most purple states was reinforced.
Vote no on 3A, 3B
At least once every four years on average, our school board asks for more money. The exception was the school board that was recently recalled. They were doing all they promised.
They had planned budgeting for a new school and other needs deemed necessary to our school system — all this without floating a bond and without asking for a tax increase. How did they do it? By studying the budget and making good decisions, so they could do all that was necessary.
Vote for Pete Weir, a DA with integrity, compassion
It is both my privilege and honor to support Pete Weir for re-election as Jeffco's district attorney. I first met Pete in the darkest days following Jessica Ridgeway's kidnapping and homicide, and I witnessed first hand Pete's leadership and compassion, as well as his unwavering resolve in the pursuit of justice for Jessica.
Why does Jeffco Public Schools need 3A and 3B?
The short answer:
Our kids need quality educational facilities and resources.
The long answer:
Why I'm running as an independent
Two years ago, my neighbor told me she admired me and appreciated all my hard work running for the state legislature, but she would never vote for a Democrat. At that moment, I knew I was in trouble.
Predicting the presidential election outcome seems to be like trying to predict next month's weather … with so many unknowns, flipping a coin might be the best process.
I found a university professor named Allen Lichtman who seemed to have a great fact-based, history-authenticated methodology for predicting the next president. I was really buying into his prediction, which, by the way, was that Trump will win. Then, he finished with a disclaimer saying that because Trump is Trump, his methodology might not work.
Upon resigning from the Friars Club, Groucho Marx famously said, "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." That reasoning seems to be consistent with two ballot measures before us this fall concerning primary elections.
Don't support moving sixth-graders to middle school
Not only will this move cost taxpayers $70 million, but research consistently shows that sixth-graders' performance does not improve when moved to middle school. Sixth-graders will lose an entire year of literacy programs. Furthermore, sixth-graders in middle schools have more disciplinary actions; again, this is not good for students.
Read petitions carefully before signing
My home is in Morrison. I absolutely love living here and greatly appreciate the amazing views, the teeming wildlife and the beautiful open spaces. I was born and raised here on the Front Range, and feel very fortunate to be able to call Colorado my home. I would guess that you feel just as fortunate and, like me, feel very protective of our wonderful community.
The political conventions are over. The final television images showed convention workers popping the red, white and blue balloons and sweeping them away. The candidates nominated in Cleveland and Philadelphia are the most unpopular in modern times, and perhaps in the history of our country.
For many years prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I was an active and vocal proponent of universal health care. It always seemed to me that socializing our health risks worked better when everyone was part of the pool. I supported requirements at both the state and federal levels for people to have health insurance.
A half century ago in rural Pennsylvania, a woman named Clem spent her mornings immersed in the pungent smell of chlorine and the ornery noise of youngsters wakened too early.
Part drill instructor and part den mother, Clem preached water safety with the fervor of a country minister, and over the years she taught thousands of young charges how to swim. For the older students, the ones earning their lifeguard certification, this also meant a course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
By John Newkirk
As a boy I used to pass time on the school bus by counting street signs bearing names of classmates or family friends: Norman Lane. Willa Way. Lemasters Drive. Julie Lane. Granzella Road. Herzman Drive. What a novelty, I thought, to live in a community where roads are named after residents who are still living.
Anybody know where a guy can buy some crow meat? And while we're at it, do any of you have a good crow recipe?
I confidently wrote last year that while Donald Trump's and Bernie Sanders' campaigns for president were showing signs of success, they couldn't last. I asserted that Trump's success was nothing more than the result of the outrageousness of his comments, and that Sanders' appeal had more to do with an enthusiasm gap for Hillary Clinton than for any real support for him.
Library says thanks for additional funds
As property tax notices begin to arrive, we want to say "Thanks!"
If all politics is local, a phrase coined by former House speaker Tip O'Neill, then Colorado's U.S. Senate race has come home to roost in the coverage areas of our three Jeffco newspapers.
No less than three of the current 12 Republican candidates for the seat held by Democrat Michael Bennet hail from Jefferson County, and that trio's political careers have been covered closely by our papers.

Scientists lift hope for Ebola vaccine
Page Tools
Scientists in Canada and the United States may have found a way of containing some of the world's deadliest diseases - the Ebola and Marburg viruses.
The scientists say that new vaccines have proved totally effective against infection in laboratory monkeys. Both viruses destroy blood vessel cells, causing internal bleeding. They are very infectious, highly lethal and endemic in tropical Africa.
"When you see the tragedies these viruses cause, it's very frustrating that we can't do more to help people," said Heinz Feldmann of the Public Health Agency of Canada, writing in the journal Nature Medicine.
"It will be some time before we can use these vaccines in the field, but it is satisfying to know we are getting closer."
Marburg takes its name from the German city in which it was first identified in 1967. The victims had all handled vervet monkeys from Uganda. The Canadian scientists are working with health officials in Angola, where there is an outbreak of Marburg fever.
Ebola was first recorded in Zaire in 1976 when it infected more than 300 people, killing 90 per cent of them. The Canadians worked with scientists from the US Army to devise one vaccine that worked effectively against both viruses in non-human primates.
"The vaccine targets dendritic cells, which are the same cells that Ebola and Marburg attack," said Thomas Geisbert of the US Army. "These cells are also important in generating a protective immune response. So the vaccine goes exactly where we want it to go."

Every restaurant or other food service establishment will require that its employees undergo some type of food hygiene training. The standards will vary based on the location, as each jurisdiction has different requirements, but the basics generally remain the same when it comes to certification. Food safety and hygienic food preparation practices are clearly extremely important. Bacterial infection or food poisoning can
Monroe UT 84754 be serious, leading to illness or even death. All of this can be avoided with a hygienic and sterile food preparation environment, following the basic principles of cleanliness.
One of the primary ways to control the food preparation environment is through temperature, both of the food that is stored as well as the food that is being cooked. All of this is covered Monroe UT 84754 in food hygiene training, with the proper temperatures that should be used to make sure bacteria is not able to thrive. This is especially important when it comes to meat products, which should be cooked to a degree of appropriate wellness. Otherwise, the diner could not only get food poisoning, but could contract a parasite, which is never pleasant. One thinks that
Monroe UT 84754 this only happens in third world countries, but poor standards of hygiene in the kitchen can lead to infestation anywhere.
Another key component of food safety that will be taught during a food hygiene training course would be the best ways to clean and sterilize the working environment, including which cleaning solutions are preferred, and how to sanitize cutting boards and knives. Otherwise, Monroe UT 84754 cross-contamination can occur, which leads to a whole host of unpleasant side effects including nausea, fever, and vomiting. This could end up shutting down a dining establishment which is why this training is so vital for all employees to undergo before beginning work.
Refresher courses are also important, to ensure that existing employees are keeping up to snuff with the latest developments in Monroe UT 84754 hygiene research and the ways to keep diners safe from infection or disease. These food hygiene training courses are now available online, which makes the process so convenient that there's really no excuse for employees not to take them. Any respectable dining establishment will make sure that the employees are certified and know the basics of food preparation safety and hygiene, which Monroe UT 84754 is not a difficult skill to master. With online certification, the courses can be taken in small parcels of time, making it extremely convenient for all involved.

|The dryer LED's turn on and the selector knob works fine. When I select a cycle and press start, the motor does not start. The LEDs on the front operate like the cycle has started. The drum and belt are intact. The motor spins freely and is not locked up (nor does it hum like its burnt up). I got codes 10 and 11 from the dryer.
When I press start, I can hear the relays opening and closing. I checked the voltages and ohms on the control board and all seem to be within their specs.

Hannah Arendt complained disdainfully about the "art of being happy ... between dog and cat and flowerpot."
Five candles were now burning over there—they were apparently fixed on a little Christmas tree which stood in a flowerpot.
"I believe the flowerpot is expecting me," yawned the young man.
Miss Francis turned silently back to her flowerpot as though she'd forgotten us.
Wilson pushed the flowerpot to one side, and "You'll take a dram?"
The messengers pried into every flowerpot that they could find, but to no purpose.
His brow was furrowed, and he was moodily bunging stones at a flowerpot.
But none of them got into a flowerpot, and still less into a gentleman's buttonhole.
There are so many beautiful potteries now that it is possible to something harmonious for every flowerpot.
A flowerpot is a necessary article of furniture without which no room is complete.

Cold room
Dont know if this is a heating question or not. The room on the northeast side of my house is significantly colder that the rest of my house. We have a 3 bedroom ranch built in 1951. The basement is dry and usually warm. The insulation in the attic seems ok, but looks older. We live in northeast Ohio and winter is on its way. Any info would be great.
If the room doesn't have a return vent then the air can't circulate properly, especially if you close the door.
if its like my nor/east room, not getting much sun in there. You should check the small things first. Are the windows leaking?, any drafts coming in, check outside wall outlets, any draft, use insulation that goes just under the cover plates. Before, my boys were great for telling me that its cold in their room but of course they needed the window cracked a bit for fresh air, go figure.
What kind of floor is in that room??? Is there enough insulation under it???
Air leakage, insulation, and lack of sun are all possible culprits. What type of heat do you have in your house?
I would look at the supply of heat to the room first. What size pipe, what size vent in the room, location of the vent (floor, wall, ceiling).

Stunned to hear this. R.I.P. Bill (Asok) I took a break from the hobby and recently started back and I see this horrible news. I only knew him through TDH and my first two buckets came from him. It was a pleasure talking with him and working out the details. Very professional and reliable. He will indeed be missed. It's nice to see such wonderful comments about him and to get to know who he was a good bit more than how I knew him, just as Asok.
My sincerest condolences to his family and his friends.

Ladies—especially you, feminists—listen up: If you want to know the real reason men don't want to get married these days, you have only yourselves to blame. "If men today are slackers, and if they're retreating from marriage en masse, women should look in the mirror and ask themselves what role they've played to bring about this transformation," anti-feminist Suzanne Venker writes in an op-ed for Fox News entitled "War on Men."
Yes, somehow women not succumbing to outdated and antiquated gender roles equates to a female-led war against men.
The crux of Venker's piece is that men don't want to marry women because "women aren't women anymore." And by that, she essentially means women are forsaking their "place" at home for a spot in the working world where, instead of baking cupcakes and cleaning all day like they should be, they can earn money to pay their rent and other bills without having to rely on someone else. The horror!
"The so-called rise of women has not threatened men. It has pissed them off," Venker writes. "It has also undermined their ability to become self-sufficient in the hopes of someday supporting a family. Men want to love women, not compete with them. They want to provide for and protect their families—it's in their DNA. But modern women won't let them."
She continues: "Feminism serves men very well: they can have sex at hello and even live with their girlfriends with no responsibilities whatsoever." Because, evidently, the right to be promiscuous is one of the only things that feminism has accomplished, at least in Venker's warped view.
But don't worry, ladies. There's still hope for you! Here's Venker's advice on how you can make men feel more masculine and, in the process, get them to marry you (because we all know that what every woman really wants is to get married and have lots and lots of babies):
"Fortunately, there is good news: women have the power to turn everything around. All they have to do is surrender to their nature—their femininity—and let men surrender to theirs."
Or, women could just listen to this alternative perspective that comes to us courtesy of Jezebel:
Ignoring all of her bullshit about "surrendering to their nature and femininity"—as if women somehow were naturally not ambitious and wanting to make money and gain the ego gratification a professional career provides—the rise of women in the workplace is in direct response to direct and indirect oppression, and the fact that working is often just an economic reality for everyone.
Also, nice women-in-the-workplace-blaming article from a woman who opens by praising her own workplace experiences. I wonder how emasculated her work makes her (presumable) husband feel? Shouldn't she be on all fours in the bathroom so that her man can fuck her while she's scrubbing the toilet and sous-viding a pot roast? Thank goodness she found the time to write this drivel between dusting knick-knacks and perfecting her fellatio skills — you know, the truly important lady business.
In addition to being a staunch defender of GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, Venker is the niece of anti-feminism leader and hypocrite extraordinaire Phyllis Schlafly. Would you expect her to espouse a view that is nothing less than ridiculous and absurd?
—Posted by Tracy Bloom.
If Suzanne Venker had her way, women would be like this housewife from the cover of a 1950s magazine.

How about this:
CircleToCircles[Circle[{a_, b_}, r_]] :=
{Circle[{a - r/2, b}, r/2],
Circle[{a + r/2, b}, r/2]
CircleToCircles[l_List] := CircleToCircles /@ l;
Show[Graphics[NestList[CircleToCircles, Circle[{0, 0}, 1], 8]],
AspectRatio -> Automatic, PlotRange -> All];
A few comments:
* This is an example of functional programming,
which you definitely want to learn to use Mathematica.
* The function CircleToCircles has two definitions
depending upon the type of pattern it encounters.
Pattern matching is another major topic you need
* NestList and related commands tend to be much
more efficient than loops.
Have fun,

And keep in mind where all of those ads and commercials about retiring with that kind of lifestyle are coming from. The companies that are making money from us investing our retirement money with them.
I am not trying to make them out to be the bad guy, as far too many people have invested too little for their retirment. Just a little perspective.

Attack Of The Killer InvestorsKelley Holland
First they stalked manufacturers, retailers, and consumer-products companies. Of late, some have been looking overseas. But now, slowly but surely, shareholder activists are training their sights on banks.
Reports of shareholder activism in the banking industry are just a trickle so far. But Michael F. Price's disclosure on Apr. 5 that he had taken a 6.1% stake in Chase Manhattan Corp., whose stock has been lagging, changed everything. Now, the mere thought of activist incursions has bank CEOs worrying about how to get their stock prices up to snuff. To further their goals, activists will likely push for mergers--whether bankers want it or not. "There will be a lot of situations involving bank mergers coming up where management and shareholders will think differently," says James K. Schmidt, manager of three funds, including the $800 million John Hancock Regional Bank Fund.
The results of several incursions already have been dramatic. One bank, Michigan National, agreed to be sold to National Australia Bank after contending with dissident shareholders including Price. And Compass Bancshares in Birmingham, Ala., became embroiled in a fierce proxy fight after the former chairman, who owned about 2% of the bank's stock, brought in a surprise bid for the bank from First Union Corp. The outcome remains uncertain, though the odds favor management. Compass CEO D. Paul Jones Jr. predicts that such battles will increase, particularly at banks with large institutional ownership.
Shareholder activists have historically gone easy on banks. High-profile investors such as Warren E. Buffett, who owns 13.3% of Wells Fargo & Co., have remained relatively quiescent. Most bank CEOs take home smaller paychecks than their big corporate counterparts, and banks tend to be more sparing with executive perks. Moreover, in the past, banks' profits tended to rise and fall in lockstep, so many investors believed bank performance was tied more to cycles than to management skill.
STRONG LURE. Yet while most bank stocks have benefited handsomely from robust profits over the past four years, a fair number have seriously underperformed. Suspecting lackluster management, or at least inattention to share value, activist investors are stepping in. "There could be a lot of dead wood out there for activists to get to work on," says G. Kenneth Heebner, manager of several CGM mutual funds.
The pending relaxation of many bank regulations is also luring activists. The expansion of interstate banking is likely to promote more mergers and other deals that will boost stock prices. "Companies that don't perform really make themselves vulnerable to this kind of activity--and more so now because there are more potential acquirers," says Francis X. Suozzo, a bank analyst at S.G. Warburg & Co.
Chase is a case in point. The venerable New York bank's stock was trading below book value when Price disclosed his stake. And Price said in his filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission that Chase should seriously consider steps to "maximize shareholder value," often code words for selling or breaking up a company. Sure enough, investment bankers quickly began calling on the bank's executives with suggestions on how Chase could boost its share price.
Chase Chief Financial Officer Arjun K. Mathrani says the bank will continue to "execute the business strategy" to get the share price up. He also hopes that disclosing more information on the profitability of the bank's various business units will help.
Maybe. But what's more certain is that the specter of big, opinionated investors is looming ever larger in bank boardrooms far beyond Chase's headquarters. Bank executives are used to regulators looking them over. But now, many are sensing that a new Big Brother is watching.
CHASE MANHATTAN CORP. Heine Securities and its president, Michael F. Price, disclosed on Apr. 5 that Heine had raised its stake to 6.1%. Price called for Chase to "seriously consider" ways to boost shareholder returns.
COMMUNITY BANK SYSTEM Shareholders sued unsuccessfully in March to block the DeWitt (N.Y.) bank's planned purchase of branches from Chase.
MICHIGAN NATIONAL CORP. After two years of agitation by Price, the bank agreed in February to be acquired by National Australia Bank.
COMPASS BANCSHARES The Birmingham (Ala.) bank's former chairman in January proposed a slate of candidates for the bank's board, who would have likely voted for it to be sold over the opposition of the current CEO.

NHS chiefs have apologised for delays in providing the whooping cough vaccine to pregnant women.
The apology follows complaints from mothers-to-be who found that they could not get the jab at their local GP surgeries.
The Government announced last month that all women who are between 28 and 38 weeks pregnant should be eligible for the free vaccination, and new guidance was issued to family doctors.
But it has emerged that at least one London health trust was slow to act on the advice. Gabby Shiner-Hill was refused the jab at first when she visited her GP surgery in Bethnal Green.
She was told that the surgery had the vaccinations ready but that Tower Hamlets primary care trust had not given it authorisation to administer the jabs.
Mrs Shiner-Hill, a design manager, decided to set up an online petition to complain about her treatment and that she and her unborn child were in potential danger.
Whooping cough is highly contagious and potentially fatal, and the number of babies contracting the disease has almost doubled since last year, according to the latest figures from the Health Protection Agency.
There are surges in whooping cough cases every three to four years and the latest outbreak — the worst for more than a decade — started at the end of last year.
There have been nine infant deaths this year and a total of 302 cases diagnosed among children aged under three months.
Mrs Shiner-Hill, who has now received the vaccine, said: "Tower Hamlets is a really populated area, it has had tuberculosis issues in the past, the community has a lot of babies and whooping cough is highly contagious. The flu vaccine has been everywhere and has been rolled out really well, which makes you wonder why haven't they done the same for the whooping cough vaccination."
A statement has now been issued by NHS North East London and the City, which is accountable for Tower Hamlets health services.
Dr Somen Banerjee, joint director of public health for NHS North East London and the City, said in the statement that he regretted the time it had taken for some mothers to receive the vaccination.
He added: "We are pleased that so many mothers want to take advantage of this vaccine and regret any delay that people trying to get the vaccination during the last week may have experienced."
Dr Banerjee confirmed that the jab is now available in all the GP practices throughout Tower Hamlets, and encouraged those who meet the criteria to "take advantage of the free vaccination".
