Bordeaux Flows at Saint-Emilion's Harvest FestBy
On Saturday night, a torch-lit procession of chateau owners in bright red toques and flowing robes will parade through Bordeaux's famous medieval village of Saint-Emilion. Naturally, wine will flow as fireworks explode.
The next day, this vinous group—the Jurade—will proclaim the beginning of the harvest from the top of the stone Tour du Roy. They'll wave their hats and release clusters of purple-black balloons that look like huge bunches of flying grapes as the wind carries them away.
For wine pageantry, the annual weekend event can't be beat. And during this year's harvest, local chateaux are making the birth of a vintage more accessible than ever to outsiders.
For the first time, Chateau Troplong Mondot is inviting visitors to share the traditional daily harvest lunch with the owners and winemakers for 100 euros (about $140) a head. Until Oct. 16, you can savor vintages of its powerful, opulent, expensive reds alongside homemade country pate, pot-au-feu, local cheeses and fresh-fruit tart in the grand dining room.
It's a celebration, too. The French government confirmed the chateau's promotion to premier grand cru classe status when it signed off on the region's latest classification in June.
In mid-May, grand cru classe Chateau Soutard, a 10-minute walk from the town's central Place du Clocher, started giving wine lovers free access to its 22-hectare vineyard.
At the new L'Orangerie terrace, I relax with a glass of spicy 2010 Rose de Chateau Soutard (3.50 euros) while perusing an illustrated map highlighting three self-guided treks (there's even one for kids).
Roman Grapes
The "Poetic Trip" takes me past a grand view of the town, 60-year-old vines, and a fascinating reconstruction of the way Romans once grew grapes here. At harvest, the vineyard is filled with pickers; the air thick with the scent of fermenting grapes.
Among the chateau's half dozen other new activities is the chance, for 90 euros, to play hands-on winemaker and work with the cellarmaster and vineyard manager for half a day, learning how Soutard's intense, deep vines are created.
Surrounded by ancient, cream-colored, stone ramparts, Saint-Emilion is a tiny museum of a city, with a maze of winding cobbled streets, many dangerously steep for walkers not wearing rubber-soled shoes. These are essential for climbing the 196 steps to the impressive panoramic vineyard view from the bell tower of the cavernous monolithic church, carved out of the rock. Underneath the town and vineyards are 70 hectares of limestone caves.
Creepy Caves
A five-minute stroll brings me to Chateau Villemaurine's new cave tour (12 euros), a one-hour kitschy but entertaining sound-and-light show. Photo montages projected against cave walls along with vivid narration convey Saint-Emilion's history of the lone monk who founded the town, and the quarrymen who created the caves.
On the other side of town, Chateau Canon's caves are damper, creepier, more authentic-looking and 13 degrees celsius. Tunnels split off, and it would be easy to get lost if there were no guide. We're walking under the vines, whose roots are kept cool by this natural air-conditioning, even when temperatures soar.
Before dinner, I wander along the Rue du Clocher, ducking into its jewel-box wine shops for tastes from uncorked bottles. Just-opened Maison Paul Cousin specializes in Saint-Emilion's hard-to-find, reasonably priced second wines. Under the pergola outside Comptoir des Vignobles, a sandwich board advertises bottles of Petrus from neighboring Pomerol, going back to 1952 (3,400 euros) and 1961 (10,000 euros). Inside, a Thai collector shows me his long wish list.
Nuns' Recipe
No visit is complete without a stop at Nadia Fermigier's storefront on Rue Gaudet for the town's best macarons. Soft, yet chewy and crunchy, these traditional cookies are made according to the recipe of 17th-century nuns, eventually passed on in 2008 to Fermigier.
A few years ago, her predecessor Madame Blanchez showed me how she selected, roasted and ground almonds by hand in the shop's bakery. This deliciously rustic macaron bears no resemblance to the gussied-up, pastel-colored version from Paris's Laduree, which makes its debut in New York this month.
Food? My dining rule is to follow the locals, meaning winemakers. Which is why I regularly end up at wine bar and restaurant L'Envers du Decor.
To feel like a real chateleine, I like to stay at Chateau Franc Mayne, an elegant 18th-century wine estate a kilometer from the town center that's now a luxury bed-and-breakfast.
Some of the nine, themed rooms ($300 and up) seem weirdly out of character, like the "African Lodge," with its giant elephant and zebra portraits. But the soothing beige tones, classic white stone fireplace and antique gold mirror give the "Campagne Francaise" room an authentic chateau feel, especially at harvest time, when you can watch from your window pickers bringing in the grapes.
Just how good a vintage 2011 will be depends on this month's weather. Hailstorms hit Bordeaux's Left Bank in early September prompting early picking last week at Cos d'Estournel and Lafite-Rothschild.
Let's hope Saint-Emilion's harvest festivities don't suffer.

Once was enough!: Marco Polo Cruise Review by jgyap57
Overall Member Rating
Once was enough!
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Other
There was a choice of eating places, either the main dining room or Marco's Bistro. Both were very much the same in the food they served. Breakfast was a buffet and if you didn't arrive the minute the food was put out then you had to eat congealed eggs, soggy sausages and sticky bacon. The toast was kept warm under a lamp so you can imagine it was tepid and chewy. We ate out so I can't comment on the lunchtime food but in the evenings we ate in the main waiter-service restaurant. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the food but when we go on a cruise we expect something different to what I cook at home - the food was mostly bland, uninspiring and downright boring - certainly not up to the standard of any other cruises we have been on.
There's quite a few bars dotted around the ship but again we found them very cold and a number of the other passengers complained about the cold air blowing from the ventilation systems. Prices in the bars were pretty average for a cruise ship but we did hear a number of complaints from other passengers about overcharging. It was only on the last night that the temperature was increased - to such an extent that the public rooms were stifling hot!
Sadly, we also found the staff in general were miserable and in some cases downright surly - although we were very lucky to have a marvellous cabin steward (Christian) and a lovely waiter (Yvgen). I've never seen so few smiles on a cruise ship from the staff - overhearing some conversations I think many of them were not happy with their lot.
I'm glad we tried it out before going on a 14 night cruise as we now know we will NEVER EVER EVER sail on this ship again - I think Cruise and Maritime need to re-look at their business model - yes it's cheap but it's not value for money. Less

Riding Your Horse to Benefit Others
It's a sad realization for me that while I lose patients on a somewhat regular basis due to old age and sickness, I also lose clients to the same causes. Veterinarians I think are more accustomed to patient, not client, loss. After all, our profession has the benefit of euthanasia to end suffering of our sick pets. Losing a patient a few times a month, while sad, is standard business. But losing clients to death as well? This was a topic not mentioned at vet school.
Perhaps large animal vets are slightly more exposed to this type of raw loss than small animal vets. We farm vets are regularly on our clients' land, in their barns, and having coffee in their kitchens. We know their families, what cars and trucks they drive, and have a general sense of how they live. For this reason, we get attached to many of our long-standing clients. They become, if not friends, close acquaintances. All of this makes it harder to deal with the loss of such a client.
A few years ago, my clinic seemed to have a spike in client loss due to death, or perhaps it just seemed that way to me. My boss informed me of a few clients who were sick and we both watched a longtime client battle bravely through breast cancer until we found out from a neighboring dairyman that she had finally died. A middle-aged woman known for her love of horses with two older children who were tending to her equine collection with stoic determination, this woman left behind not only a kind family but a beautiful barn that sits on a main road where I frequently drive. This barn sits quiet now, empty, and I am reminded of her every time I pass it.
A few weeks ago, flipping through one of the many horse magazines that come in the mail, I noticed an ad for Ride for the Cure. I know many breast cancer charities have walks and runs to raise awareness and money, but this was the first time I had heard of a horseback ride for the same cause. But as I started to think about it, why not? Just as sponsored 5K runs and marathons are a great way to get people out, be active, and do something they enjoy in the name of charity, a horseback ride could easily achieve the same thing.
Upon further research, I quickly discovered more organized horseback rides that are occurring for charity. Interestingly, many are held in the U.K. and are sometimes referred to as "riding challenges." On this side of the pond, there is the occasional intrepid rider who decides to simply take things into his or her own hands, like the Texan in 2011 who rode 1,500 miles from Dallas to New York to raise money for the fight against childhood cancer.
I tore out the ad for the Ride for the Cure in my area and will keep it in my files. I don't currently have my own horse and rarely actually get into the saddle of someone else's, but in the future that will change. And when it does, I'd like to try a charity ride, for if nothing else, to honor my lost clients.

UPDATE 1-Canada pension fund boss wishes he'd made more deals
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), one of the world's biggest pension funds, notched another quarter of strong returns but its chief executive officer said he wishes the fund had been more aggressive when prices were cheap.
CPPIB, which manages Canada's national pension fund and is a major global dealmaker, said it had gross investment returns of 5.9 percent for the third quarter ended Dec. 31, taking its five-year investment rate of return to an annualized 7.2 percent.
The fund's deep pockets and long investment horizon helped it complete deals that rivals could not make when times were tough. But the global economic recovery has meant an increase in competition and asset prices that are no longer such a good deal.
In retrospect, CEO Mark Wiseman said he wishes the fund had been even more aggressive in deal-making five years ago, given the market recovery.
"I think a lot of people thought we were overly aggressive, but hindsight is 20/20. Should we have bought more assets? We probably should have, because almost everything we did in that period has worked out incredibly well," Wiseman said in an interview.
The payoff for making big successful bets in the wake of the financial crisis pushed CPPIB's net assets to a record C$201.5 billion ($183.57 billion) in the third quarter, compared with C$192.8 billion at the end of the previous quarter.
CPPIB began really diversifying beyond traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds in 2006, and was sideswiped by the financial crisis in 2009. But big global deals in assets like real estate and infrastructure have boosted the fund's rate of return, and it has opened offices in London, New York, Hong Kong and, in April, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Box Score | PDF Box Score | Saturday Gametracker | Watch Live
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The pitching and defense were there again for the UAB baseball team on Friday night, but miscues and missed opportunities on the offensive side hurt the Blazers in a 4-2, series opening loss at 12th-ranked Southern Miss.
Golden Eagles' starter Todd McInnis pitched around eight UAB hits in his six innings and worked out of a couple of tight spots to earn the win, and Southern Miss reliever Chase Horn pitched a perfect final three frames to finish it off.
Seven UAB players recorded a hit, led by Jamal Austin with two, but the Blazers dropped to 25-20 and 9-10 in C-USA. First-place Southern Miss improved to 34-11 and 12-4 in the league. The teams will meet again Saturday at 2 p.m. CT at Pete Taylor Park.
UAB scored single runs in both the first and third innings but could have done more damage through the first half of the game. The Blazers had runners thrown out at third base with either one out or no outs in three of the first four innings and then stranded runners in scoring position with one out in both the fifth and sixth.
McInnis had just four strikeouts in the game, but three of them came in those fifth and sixth inning situations to keep the Blazers from getting any more runs.
"We had some chances," UAB head coach Brian Shoop said. "We made three base running errors that cost us an opportunity for a tie game, and we couldn't score in a first-and-third situation with one out. When you only score two runs, you put tremendous pressure on your pitching staff, and still we pitched well enough to win.
UAB had an early 2-0 lead after Nick Crawford scored on a McInnis wild pitch in the first inning and Coy Arrowood drove in a run with a double in the fourth.
After going scoreless through the first four innings, Southern Miss broke through against UAB starter Ryan Woolley for a pair of runs in the fifth. An RBI single from Tyler Koelling and a sacrifice fly from B.A. Vollmuth knotted the score at 2-2.
The Golden Eagles then picked up the go-ahead run in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Adam Doleac and Jared Bales, although Mark McKinley came out of the bullpen to work out of a bases-loaded jam to limit the damage. Bales then drove in another run with a single in the seventh.
Woolley suffered the loss, allowing the first three Southern Miss runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings. The UAB defense was solid again, playing error-free for the third straight game and the sixth time in the past eight contests.
Three players did most of the offensive damage for Southern Miss with Koelling, Bales and Adam Doleac combining for eight of the team's 10 hits.

Make sense of this, from DeathofFreedom:
John McCain Thinks You're Really, Really Stupid
John McCain is getting so desperate in the run-up to the Arizona primary, and the challenge by Tea-Party endorsed J.D. Hayworth, that he's flipping out, trying to convince voters that he didn't realize the TARP money he voted for in September, 2008, was meant for Wall Street.
Yeah, sure John. What a pitiful, desperate, shell of a man.

So Much Suffering
This is indescribably bad news:
First American CoreLogic, the research firm that monitors housing equity, reported Tuesday that 11.3 million homeowners — or 24% of all homes with mortgages — were underwater as of the end of 2009. That's up from 23% and 10.7 million borrowers three month earlier.
Just Another Afternoon in America
Two "juveniles" have been shot at Deer Creek Middle School in Jefferson County, Colorado. Local media is covering the situation live. Kids are running out of the school and across the street to a local park. Cop cars and yellow police tape are everywhere. The overall scene looks a lot like Columbine. But while ten years ago the cable "news" networks would have cut in to cover this with "breaking news," school shootings are apparently so commonplace here in the United States that so far, 20-minutes in, at 6:16 p.m. ET, they're sticking with their regularly scheduled programming.
Senate Republicans Will Not Bring Health Care Proposal to Thursday's "Summit"
The most recent Republican response to the health care debate has been to insistance that President Obama throw out all the proposals and start over. Obviously, that hasn't happened but we do have the health care "summit" coming up on Thursday. (It will be carried live on C-SPAN3 and MSNBC.) So one would think that the Republicans would bring some ideas with them to that gig, but no, they're not bringing anything.
They think, "a step by step approach on areas where we agree is the best path forward." And, by that they mean areas where Democrats will do what Republicans want.
So, what are they going to do at the "summit?" Sit in silence?
Another Republican Politician Caught Lying About a Woman

Hurricane change fees: Not too late to make free changes for Sandy-trashed flight itineraries, but that won't be necessary for the dog who would not fly.
Kicked off plane: Ryanair called the cops on a passenger for breaking its 'one item only' carry-on rule; she was led off the plane in tears. Will she get an apology? Hahahahaha.
Magic Johnson suit: Ex-flight attendant sues basketball legend for wrongful dismissal. Per the legal papers, her private jet duties included prepping Red Vines licorice which she had to "regularly squeeze to make sure they were soft."
Snakes on a plane, indeed: A flight from Cancun to Glasgow had an extra passenger aboard, when the cabin crew found an 18-inch snake under a row of seats.
Steer clear: An undetonated bomb likely from World War II was found within a mile of the runways from Japan's Sendai airport, forcing the airport to shutter service for a day. Apparently, finding "dud shells" is common in Japan.
Seth Meyers said it best: "A plan has been proposed for a new bridge across the Seine River in Paris that would be made out of trampolines. And the only way that could go wrong is immediately."
Well, it's about time: The world's "worst-rated airline" has joined the Internet. Finally, am I right?

Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili Scandal?
OMG! Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Nevermind cause I know you're imagining things right now as you're reading my post's title: Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili Scandal. And you are in luck buddy cause you are about to see a very stylistic photo of two of the most hottest celebrities in Philippine showbiz.
Well, I saw this sexy photo from the newly-revamped website of the Belo Medical Group showcasing Dr.Hayden Kho and FHM's sexiest pinay Katrina Halili baring it all and flaunting their hotness on the site's front page. As the medical group's famous slogan says, "Only Belo touches my skin" would you want to be touched by Belo too?
After the jump, you'll see the photo that I'm talking about here. And tell me what you think about their pose.

Javier Castillejo retires!
By Robert Coster
Spain's greatest boxer of all time, two-division world champion Javier Castillejo has decided to hang up the gloves at age 41 after an illustrious, title-filled career. Castillejo, "the Lynx of Parla" has he is known, retires with a record of 62-8-1 with 43 KOs and in his 21 year journey in the ring, garnered the following belts: three times European jr middleweight champion 1994-95, 1998-99, 2002-03, WBC jr middleweight champion 1999-01 (six title defenses), interim WBC jr middleweight champion 2002-03, WBA middleweight champion 2006-07. Castillejo fought twice in the United States, losing decisions to Oscar de la Hoya and Fernando Vargas. Javier retires with his head held up high – but not without some justfied bitterness towards the lack of recognition and support given to boxing by Spanish authorities. Says Castillejo, "I was born in the wrong country to be a boxer. Anywhere else I would be honored but here in Spain I am lucky if I get invited by my next door neighbor."

"To me, no matter who we play against, we're not going to face somebody better than he is, especially on offense. He has such a unique way of playing.

I would put him against any of the great guards who are playing college basketball right now."

To The Editor: Rick Davis is the flamboyant rose with thorns that prick. With help of a number of employees (pawns for Davis), he has sunk to the gutter. Seeking out those who weren't supporting him with bragging, his intent was clear.
Deputies who played the game and haven't come out for truth and honesty need to be thoroughly questioned when swearing in court to tell the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth. If they're capable of a deliberate lie or covering for one, it's important, for citizens may be railroaded in court, same as the fired deputies.
Truth is, Davis turned some of the Sheriff's Department into a house of ill repute. He and his pawns were willing to prostitute themselves for gain; they sold out truth, integrity, honor and self-respect. No worthy person could be involved and not feel guilt. Now, if this letter has your underwear in a wad, grab pen and pad and start writing.
The best place to try this is in the press. Let's start it rolling. Times, dates, names, witnesses and incidents waiting in the wings of truth which will prevail. Without coming clean, your records will speak for themselves.

CLEARWATER — Teams need the ball to score and St. Petersburg Catholic wouldn't let Calvary Christian have it until 14 points were in the bank.
The Barons grabbed a lead they did not lose Friday night, putting a damper on the Warriors' homecoming with a 56-21 victory to lock up a berth in the Class 3A playoff for the first time in eight seasons.
After wrapping up an impressive opening drive with the first of two scoring connections between quarterback Jack Sheehan and wideout Chris White, the Barons executed a perfect pooch kick that was recovered by sophomore Tony Jones. Four plays later, Jones matched his uniform number with a 24-yard romp to paydirt to give SPC (6-3, 3-1 in 3A-5) a 14-0 lead before Calvary Christian (5-4, 1-3) got its first touch on offense.
When the Barons pulled off another onside kick to start the second half — again fallen on by Jones — and finished with the second of three TDs from junior Jacquan Fuller (165 of SPC's 527 yards), the lead bulged to 35-7 and the game was over.
"We work on the onside kick every week not knowing if we're going to get to use it," said Barons coach Steve Dudley, who took his squad from two wins to the playoff in three seasons. "This team has had a history of playing pretty good offense but weren't stopping anybody.
Now we're dialing up blitzes, getting huge play from lineman Leo Corringon and others, and getting to the quarterback. Kids are really buying into what we're selling."

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:57pm
Updated: The Lizards officially announced Joe Spallina as the head coach on Monday evening, news reported by Inside Lacrosse on Sunday. The press release is below the story.
Joe Spallina will soon be named the new coach of the Long Island Lizards, sources close to the situation have told Inside Lacrosse.
Spallina, who is the coach of the Stony Brook women's program, replaces Jim Mule, who resigned this offseason after the Expansion Draft. Spallina has been an assistant with the Lizards for the past two years.
He will also remain in his coaching position at Stony Brook.
In all of Major League Lacrosse, only one head coach remains in their post from the beginning of last year. Regy Thorpe was hired as head coach of the Hamilton Nationals before last season, and he remains head coach. Denver's Tom Slate gave way to Jim Stagnitta, and Chesapeake's coaching staff shuffled up positions, with Dave Cottle taking on head coach. In Rochester, Tim Soudan replaced B.J. O'Hara during the season last year, and Bill Daye retired in Boston this offseason before Steve Duffy took over.
Spallina takes the reins for a new-look Lizards program. The team traded fan favorites Stephen Berger and Matt Danowski during the Expansion Draft, landing Max Quinzani. Original Lizard Brian Spallina (Joe Spallina's brother) is now in Chesapeake, and Tim Goettelmann — also an original Lizard — retired last week after a record-breaking career.
But the team had a successful Collegiate Draft, landing Cornell's Rob Pannell with the No. 1 overall pick, as well as Sam Bradman (Salisbury), Tom Palasek (Syracuse), Kyle Moeller (Stony Brook), Charlie Streep (Bucknell) and Rob Campbell (Stony Brook). The Lizards also made perhaps the biggest splash of draft day, landing Max Seibald from Denver.
The Long Island Lizards, officially ended their coaching search by naming Joe Spallina their new Head coach. Spallina who served as an assistant coach, for the previous two seasons, takes over the reins for the 2012 season. When asked about being hired, Coach Spallina said,
I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be the next head coach of the Long Island Lizards. I have had the chance and experience to learn from Jim Mule the past two years, and I am forever grateful to have worked with one of the most famed coaches in MLL history. I look forward to bringing this franchise to the top of the MLL with a hard working dedicated style of coaching. It is an honor to be coaching in the MLL especially for one of the original franchises, and I am excited to make the most of this outstanding opportunity. I also want to thank my wife and four children for their unwavering support in adding this position of Head coach of the Long Island Lizards to my regular duties as the Head coach of the Stony Brook Women's Lacrosse team.
Joe Spallina is currently in his first season as Head Coach of the Stony Brook Women's Lacrosse team. Spallina spent his previous four seasons at Adelphi University, where he posted a 73-2 record and recorded three consecutive Division II national championships. He has been named the IWLCA National Coach of the Year three times and the Field Turf NCAA Division II Coach of the Year in 2009.
"We are excited to name Joe the head coach" said, Lizards General Manager Casey Hilpert. "He is a guy who knows how to win, and is around the sport of lacrosse all the time. We worked closely together this off season with our drafts and trades and he has a passion and a desire to win that I have not seen anywhere else."
The Lizards fell just one win short of making the playoffs in 2011 and made many offseason roster changes as well. One of the big moves included bringing Hewlett native Max Seibald to the Long Island Lizards. Spallina certainly hopes to get the Lizards to Boston in 2012 for championship weekend.

Do you have a series of STL files which represent moving geometry? If this geometric motion is simple (constant rotation, or translation), you can utilize the "Rigid Body Motion" capability already in EnSight. However, what if the motion is complex, or if the STL surfaces change from timestep to timestep? The native STL file reader in EnSight expects steady state STL file information (either a single STL file, or multiple STL files via .xct; but still only for a single timestep).
A short Python routine can be used here to actually help out. This python routine takes a series of STL files, and assumes that they are part of a transient sequence, with one STL file per timestep. The Python routine converts the STL information into EnSight Case Gold format files, with multiple .geo files, allowing you to view your STL information in a transient nature. This routine can be further modified and customized to suit your needs, file conventions, or time information (since no time information is explicitly available within the .stl file).
Please feel free to contact CEI, or the author of the routine (email@example.com) for further customization or questions.
To download this example Python utility, please click on the link below, and place into your User Defined Tools area.
Click here to download Multiple Transient STL Conversion Tool
Current Version : 1.0 (11-January-2013)
Current Limitations/Assumptions:
a. A series of ASCII stl files all with '.stl' extension
b. Will convert and assume ALL "*.stl" files in the directory are to be converted.
c. All STL files have the same number of parts (but can change triangles from timestep to timestep)
d. Since there is no Time information with STL, will force Time 0 = 0.0 seconds, Time 1 = 1.0 seconds, etc
If user needs other time information, just change the time values in the .case file
e. STL files are all triangles (no quads)

Even though it's winter, birds need water
January 03. 2014 8:46PM
In my research, I turned to a book entitled: "A Complete Guide to Bird Feeding," published by Knopf. The author, John V. Dennis, wrote: "If there is any time of the year when water is at a premium for bathing, it is winter. Birds are eager for water for drinking purposes in winter, and if anything, they need to bathe more often in cold weather. The reason is not hard to discover. Birds bathe to keep warm!

Integrating Vim and GPG
Quite frequently, I need to take a quick textual note but when the content is sensitive, even just transiently, well, some things shouldn't be left around on disk in plain text. Now before you pipe up with "but I encrypt my home directory" keep in mind that that only pretects data against it being read in the event your machine is stolen; if something gets onto your system while it's powered up and you're logged in, the file is there to read.
So for a while my workflow there has been the following rather tedious sequence:
$ vi document.txt
$ gpg --encrypt --armour
-r email@example.com
-o document.asc document.txt
$ rm document.txt
and later on, to view or edit the file,
$ gpg --decrypt -o document.txt document.asc
$ view document.txt
$ rm document.txt
(yes yes, I could use default behaviour for a few things there, but GPG has a bad habit of doing things that you're not expecting; applying the principle of least surprise seems a reasonable defensive measure, but fine, ok
$ gpg < document.asc
indeed works. Pedants, the lot of you).
Obviously this is tedious, and worse, error prone; don't be overwriting the wrong file, now. Far more serious, you have the plain text file sitting around while you're working on it, which from an operational security standpoint is completely unacceptable.
vim plugin
I began to wonder if there was better way of doing this, and sure enough, via the volumous Vim website I eventually found my way to this delightful gem: https://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg by James McCoy.
Since it might not be obvious, to install it you can do the following: grab a copy of the code,
$ cd ~/src/
$ mkdir vim-gnupg
$ cd vim-gnupg/
$ git clone git://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg.git github
$ cd github/
$ cd plugin/
$ ls
Where you will see one
gnupg.vim. To make Vim use it, you need to put in somewhere
vim will see it, so symlink it into your home directory:
$ mkdir ~/.vim
$ mkdir ~/.vim/plugin
$ cd ~/.vim/plugin/
$ ln -s ~/src/vim-gnupg/github/plugin/gnupg.vim .
Of course have a look at what's in that file; this is crypto and it's important to have confidence that the implementation is sane. Turns out that the
gnupg.vim plugin is "just" Vim configuration commands, though there are some pretty amazing contortions. People give Emacs a bad rap for complexity, but whoa.
:). The fact you can do all that in Vim is, er, staggering.
Anyway, after all that, it Just Works™. I give my filename a
.asc suffix, and ta-da:
$ vi document.asc
the plugin decrypts, lets me edit clear text in memory, and then re-encrypts before writing back to disk. Nice! For a new file, it prompts for the target address (which is one's own email for personal use) and then on it's way. [If you're instead using symmetrical encryption, I see no way around creating an empty file with
gpg first, but other than that, it works as you'd expect]. Doing all of this on a GNOME 3 system, you already have a
gpg-agent running, so you get all the sexy entry dialogs and proper passphrase caching.
I'm hoping a few people in-the-know will have a look at this and vet that this plugin doing the right thing, but all in all this seems a rather promising solution for quickly editing encrypted files.
Now if we can just convince Gedit to do the same.

New tj owner with 6" lift and 36" tires.
Hey guys, I had a quick question can having 36" tires with a 6" lift cause DW? The guy I bought it from said as long as you kept the PSI low like 15 then it can go hwy speeds (65-70) without any problems. Is this true or is it an issue with a different part?
That's a serious lift with serious tires. If it was done right, DW wouldn't be a problem.
My guess is somethings worn, broken or installed wrong.
it doesn't matter how tall your lift or tires are, if you have to adjust tire pressure to get rid of death wobble then something is wrong. either that or you and the p o don't know what death wobble is and you are using the wrong term.
Thanks for the help. I will do some reading.
Sounds a little bit too much for a DD. My .02
Lets see some pics!
My bet is the lift was done wrong. Do you still have the stock track bar? If so you need an adjustable track bar with that combo. Have you checked the track bar bushing? Have you checked the alignment. Oversized tires require non stock alignment. Read the sticky http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/death-wobble-25090.html I just cured mine. Also do you know what rear end you have? If it is the d33 you are askng for failure. Do you know if your tires are in balance? That will kick off death wobble if something is worn or out of alignment.

Crowds expected at National Free Comic Book events in state
Union Leader Correspondent | April 29. 2014 7:23PM
A variety of residents, visitors and costumed characters – such as the Ghostbusters who posed with Harley Quinn from Batman in Rochester last year – will take part in National Free Comic Book Day celebrations Saturday. (John Quinn Photo)
The pair, who will appear together for the first time in two decades, will be available to sign a special Rochester Cover of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the Exhibition Hall at the Knights of Columbus, along Route 125.
The festivities in Rochester draw crowds from around the region and capture the awe and attention of other comic book stores in the state, according to Chris Proulx, co-owner of Double Midnight Comics in Manchester and Concord.
Participants can earn extra comic books by donating to the N.H. Food Bank, enjoy a pulled pork and chicken barbecue and meet members of four costumed organizations: the 501st Stormtroopers Legion from "Star Wars," the New England Brethren of Pirates, Ghostbusters of New Hampshire and the Steampunk Society of Swans.
