The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel
35 East 76th Street, New York, NY
0.3 mi from
I like the location, the bar and the staff my room was very small and outdated i had stayed there before and the rooms were much nicer. They ended up changing our room and then it was much better
everyone was so relaxed with their dogs etc It was lovely to see...
The safety and convenience of being right in downtown. Easy walking to anywhere. Not much at all.
i usually stay at the four season but this time i wanted an old fashioned new york experience,and it was perfect. the safe did not function in my suite
The afternoon tea. The complimentary champagne provided by guest services. The quality of the food. not being able to get a reservation for dinner at the Cafe Carlyle. Room service was slow in the mornings, great in the evenings.
Very good location close to Central park and Museums
All of the Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. The location of the hotel is outstanding.
Rooms, dining options, location, spa, service.
quietness, spaciousness, location plus good little kitchen...general overall quality of presentation and service..a great stay.
Surrey has a great location so near to Central Park, museums, and shopping. We had a large, comfortable room with a view of Central Park! The staff were knowledgable and helpful.
Modern classy rooms all first class. Best location in NYC. Amazing shower. Not much of a hotel lobby if you need a grand hotel lobby.
Friendly staff; good location; great design. Our deluxe room was large by New York standards. Our grand deluxe room had no bath! Complete lack of freely available guest-friendly wi-fi facilities in the hotel amazed us and caused ongoing problems. Computer in chargeable "business centre" was also faulty. Room temperature did not respond when adjusted by room thermostat. Dining room very cold and breakfast extremely poor in comparison with any other hotel we have visited (especially in Europe). Almost complete lack of public spaces: bar-lounge pleasant but cold and draughty and accommodation overcrowded at times (by members of the public using the dining room) so people (hotel guests!) turned away. The restaurant is apparently rated in New York but the food they sent up on room service was third rate.
The service,staff, location and beds! Where he AC vents are located and that's right above the bar.
It's very central, walking distance to almost all places. Room is big, very clean and overlooking a nice street. Many cafes around for cousy breakfast/branch. My husband usualy preferes 5stars, but never regreted me booking this 3stars hotel. It is comfortable with exellent restaurant (French), full of local people even on Monday night. Night shift staff could be a little more active, but it was not really a problem, just compering to the day time people who were much more helpful.
staff they charged me for internet and you told me(booking told me) it would not be a charge
The comfort and the design of the room. the quality of the bed was outstanding. The breakfast service at their restaurant. Super expensive, petit quantity (and we are not big eaters) and arrogant, slow waiters. We did only go there once!
Great location; clean rooms, very comfortable bed. Enjoyed the Surrey experience very much ! I kept my booking on booking.com even though I found a cheaper price on Oyster.com (about $60 cheaper for the two nights) and sent booking.com the link within the 24 hour time window from my booking - unfortunately I never got a reply... so much for best price assurance from Booking.com
The location was great and staff very friendly. Expected coffee to be already made in the am.
The staff is excellent. They were helpful, engaging and respectful. The hotel is small but intimate and comfortably.
Location High price for a small room and a tiny shower room. Disorganised breakfast
I truly thought The Franklin had great customer service. Everyone there was so nice and very helpful. I loved the little breakfast set up they had in the morning. Simple, but just enough to get your day started. And then from 4:30 - 6:30 they offer wine and cheese happy hour. LOVED IT! Good "house" wine, little nuts, dried fruit, and cheese! My mom and I had such a great time sitting in the "common room" and enjoying a hot tea (my mom) and a glass of wine(me). And you are super close the to 4,5,& 6 Lex line, which makes it very easy to get anywhere you're trying to go. There were some draining issues with our tub, but that just comes with an older building. Also, I wish their website would have more pictures available of their property.
I only paid $99/night and still wouldn't stay again. Heat didn't work despite the below freezing temps outside. They had a space heater but no extra blankets. Did not want to spend a second more in the room than necessary. I was upgraded to a larger room which was still the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Felt quite claustrophobic. Most of the staff were super nice, with the exception of a few obnoxious unhelpful ones. Couldn't wait for my stay to be over. Also I saw the shell of a bug on my bed but I'm not sure if it was random or an actual bedbug. Came home with three bites on my body. Not sure. I'll put all my clothes through the dryer just in case.
free internet connection, nice and helpful staff, tasty breakfast and fresh coffee
Courtesy, breakfast Room size, view
The staff helped out with any queries we had and the location was perfect.
very comfortable bed, pillows; nice bath, plenty of towels; complimentary breakfast; location; staff the room waspretty small for the price (also closet minuscule); I barely had room to set up and use an ironing board to press some clothes.
Value for the dollar was great. Facility older and small but clean and acceptable. Classic old school place Construction next door only a problem if intend to be in room in daytime (why do that, your in greatest city on earth). No noise at night.
good mattress and the rooms where clean. they offered afternoon wine and nuts which was nice. not as presented on the web site. a quaint hotel on a tree lined street. the hotel was next to a construction site. the lobby was therefor dirty with all the construction dirt brought in. all the trees on the street where cut down due to the construction. it was very noisy. to enter the hotel one had to walk around and under scaffolding. the breakfast was minimal. we went out for breakfast after the first morning even though we had already payed for breakfast. i would not go back!

When I Did Meet You (Sestina) - Poem by Gert Strydom
It was on a cold winter day
that I had met you and that night
in a dream your image were leading the way
to somewhere where there was a bright light
and like children together we did play
and did frolic and laugh and dance to our delight.
It was in my own soul a delight
to visit you on the very next day
to be sure of my feelings in the broad day light
as my heart did follow its own way
and was longing from the previous night
and I wondered if to you it was only another game to play?
But to triumph in the game of life I had to play,
even if sometimes in playing there was no kind of delight
while time passed too quickly between night and day
and I found my self during dusk's fading light;
saw the evening star finding its way
on a lovely moon filled night.
Fireflies did gleam from dusk to dark night
while an orchestra did over the radio play
while we watched each other in a kind of delight
were away from the inquisitive eyes watching during the day
and it was very romantic in the starry light
while in the garden to the front gate we did find the way.
I was in a kind of trance almost asleep along the way
and back to my house watched the shadows of the night
and in my mind was nothing but this day,
nothing but memories of a first kiss and its delight,
memories of how your fingers did in mine play
and to me another motorist flashed a light.
In my heart burnt a secret new light
and you had taken me from my well trodden way.
I thought of only you right through the night,
though of the games that all humans with each other play
and my thoughts of you had no pain and only delight
while you were in every breath until the brake of day.
I still love you from that day and you are my bright shining light
the one that leads me through the night along my heart's way
and still we do kiss and play and have in bliss a kind of delight.

She sat there, listening to her girlfriend talk about her new, young lover. And the multiple orgasms. Undulating waves of pleasure. Necks damp with sex. Hair dripping.
She sat there, cold. She felt stiff and empty. Frigid, even – and she loathed that word. And she was jealous. Orgasms.
Had she ever had one? Could she? Would she ever know what it was to climax?
"Of course the best orgasms are the ones you give yourself." The third voice of their cocktail trio enjoyed masturbation. Empowering. Exhilarating. "Sometimes I even feel like I could manage fine without a man…!" They laugh.
Later, alone, she tried. 'Quiet your mind', the instructions on a self-help page washed-up in her search. Eyes closed, looking into the lidded darkness, and concentrating on a wide, empty sky. A wide night sky. With stars. More romantic. Romance… should there be music? Would it be better with music? What songs – where did she leave her –
'Quiet your mind'. She exhaled, slowly. Deliberately. Calm.
'Focus on your body'. Her body? Her body. What part? She felt uncomfortable. Refocused, she felt through her fingers instead. Skin. Chest. Stomach, and further. She felt hair. She cringed. Why did it matter? It did. It didn't have do. Would it make a difference? Had it? Men preferred it without – didn't they? Frustration –
'Quiet your mind, focus on your body.' She drew breath, deeply, and pushed further.
'Tense, relax, repeat'. She squeezed. Relaxed. Repeated. Worried – wet bed worry – and squeezed tight, holding. Mess? Nervous. She breathes – 'Quiet your mind' – and feels. Feels good. Feels warm. Feels –
Like a fool.
She failed. Again. Her own fault. Embarrassed. Alone. Stupid.
What of orgasms?
They say that 10 per cent of women have anorgasmia – that is an inability to reach orgasm – and it's commonly held that male orgasm is relatively easier and a more automatic sexual response.
We also know that subjects like orgasm and masturbation, after years of corseted suppression, burst forth with feminism and modernism and chick-lit girl-powerism. Almost aggressively, as the female sexual experience was given the same 'like a man' treatment professional ambition was undergoing.
So vibrators joined power-suits in the arsenal of objects which would liberate subordinated desires, breaking through the orgasm barrier became the new glass ceiling. Those who triumphed were proud. Those who didn't were quietly envious. Some were dismissive. Others never wanted to anyway.
And blokes hoped all this new fuss wouldn't get in their way. And it didn't – until they began to get the blame for not 'getting her there'. Or began to blame themselves.
Well. I want to talk about orgasms. Honestly, and without one-up-man/womanship. Because they're an important part of sexual self-expression, because it's International Women's Day time, and because so many people write to me worrying they're doing it wrong.
For my part, faking any aspect of the orgasmic conversation is for nincompoops only. That is to say faking the great coming, or coming up with fake tales of arrival, does more harm than good. Always better to be honest – and the honest truth is that you don't have to orgasm to have great sex or be a great lover.
Great sex is about feeling good; being a great lover is about giving good. And the good begins and ends with honesty.
Communicating with your body, honestly, is an important first step. Coming to terms with your faults and fine points all part of the process. You may be bigger than you want to be, you may be older than you were, and you will probably emit sounds and smells – so be reasonable; so much is natural. Sex is sensory and sensual.
Sex is also fun. A source of pleasure. And orgasms aren't the only sign of that success.
Do you worry about orgasms – whether it's having your own or sharing them? Do you enjoy them with ease, or have you yet to experience them? And do you think the orgasm has been unfairly fetishised?

The inspiration for this poem came from a scene at our supper table. There my husband sat with a "Barbie Doll' necklace on sipping out of a very small tea cup and looking at our four year old daughter with such love and adoration that I thought "There is nothing this wonderful Dad wouldn't do for her." And so a poem is born in dedication to Dad's everywhere.
This poem originally was published in Poems on Life - Family Poems
What A Dad Will Do For His Daughter
What a Dad will do for his daughter is rock his sick baby girl
until the sun peeks through the darkness
letting him know the night of worry is over.
He will take her small hand in his and walk slowly as she takes her first
walk to the ice cream shop to share a cone full of heaven on earth.
He will sip from the tiny tea cup she has set in front of him
and in harmony with the stuffed animals carefully placed in their seats
he will sing the praises of her great hospitality.
He will sit through dance recitals and fashion shows
where he is the only audience
and will clap with the enthusiasm of a thousand people.
He will take her fishing and play soccer,
and introduce her to the world outside
as if just experiencing it for the first time himself.
Perhaps he is.
He will sit with her through sweat and tears over homework
that was supposed to be turned in the day before
and he'll smile as they finish, seeing her relief.
He will place a firm hand on the shoulder of the young man that comes
to take her to the school dance
silently letting him know where he stands and what he expects.
He will watch with overflowing pride as his young lady
accepts her high school diploma
and will silently pray to God to calm his fears
and get him throughout the day.
He will be full of conversation and more than happy to listen
when she calls home now and then.
Even when the game of the year is on.
He will gently fold her arm around his
and with all the courage and faith he can hold onto
he will stroll down the aisle,
giving her hand but keeping her youth.
He will be the first one in the maternity ward ,
at the nursery window,
carefully inspecting the activities of his new family member.
Another part of her, another part of him.
He will reassure her as time rages on
and the signs of his old age start to frighten her.
He will caress her hand with a passion
to which she has never felt
as he whispers his last wishes to her.
He will come to her heart for all her life
as she sees his manner in herself
or his features in her children.
He will live in the smiles
that grace her face
as she remembers the things he did for her.

kathleenIt made me feel all the emotions that a daughter could have for her Dad. Thank You.
andreai really miss my dad. i don't see him often as he lives in belgrade. Im in tears now. and i dont know why. =[
RajIt really touched my heart. I am anxious. like the father,to see my heart in my daughter's heart!
caityI cried. My daddy is about to die of cancer in a few months. i'm only 13. my daddy is gonna die before half the things in this poem will happen. But it is still such a wonderful poem.
alastrionawow really cool. I love this poem, my dad did different stuff with me than this poem describes, eg helping me carve a doll out of wood when I was twelve, but I still can really relate to this. I also like that it's written in plain english, you don't have to read one line five times before you understand it.
DineenThis poem is beyond moving! As I watch my husband with our one year old daughter, this is so him already, and it makes my heart so full! Beyond that, this is a poem,word for word, about my beautiful grandfather and the amazing way he loved my mother and her daughters. We lost him a few years ago, but he is and will always be the best man to ever grace our lives. Thank you for giving me this gift to share with my mother!
christiannaThis poem is a work of art! it made me cry and made me think exactly of my dad. you discribed him perfectly! well done
Billie JoThat was so touching and absolutely beautiful! I have a very close relationship with my Dad and every line of this poem was spoken from my very own heart. You have captured the very soul of a loving father/daughter relationship. Wonderful work!
Miriit gave me the warm fuzzies
DebbieI just lost my dad and this was us from start to finish, because you see I had open heart when I was little and he would rock me all night. My dad was my everything and when my daughter was born he was the first in the window to show her off, and now she too knows the love of the greatest father that ever lived.
billMy Daughter's just become engaged to be married. my future Son-in-Law came round last night, on his own, to ask for my Daughter's hand. he was as nervous as hell, reminded me of my stumbling efforts back in '68 and brought such a flood of memories that I searched for hours to try to find a poem which summed up the tremendous love I have for my beautiful Daughter Rachel, (who I call Wretch!). This poem came closest thanks.
Shi YunThis is really sweet and really touching. reminds me of what my dad used to do for me. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful poem.
BettyI cried all the way through this. I'm going to a wedding as a guest of the Father of the bride. I just met him, he seems very nice, and he just wanted a dance partner at the wedding so I decided to accept his invitation. I wanted to give him something special about the occasion - nothing expensive, just heart-felt. I hope you don't mind if I share it with him.
claireTHIS POEM TOUCHED ME BECAUSE I DO DANCE AND HE DOES COME 2 MY DANCE REDITALS AND I SPMETIMES TURN IN HOMEWORK THE DAY AFTER AND HE HAS 2 SIT THERE WITH ME AND HELP ME! I ALMOST CRIED ON THIS POEM BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO WHEN HE PASSES AWAY!

In 2011, there were 9, 939 reported cases of workplace injuries in Singapore according to the Workplace Safety & Health report by the Workplace Safety & Health Council and Ministry of Manpower. The numbers were down by 1.9 per cent from 2010. However, the number of falls which contributed to more than half of the total fatalities in the year actually increased.
Any time there is an accident of any kind at the workplace, productivity is not the only thing that is affected, company morale takes a plunge as well.
"Occupational health and safety (OHS) is of utmost importance to us because the well-being of every employee matters in building a positive work environment. For a company like CapitaLand that is built on the credo 'Building People', caring for the health and well-being of staff and stakeholders is a priority. The company is particularly vigilant when it comes to ensuring workplace safety," said Mr Tan Seng Chai, Deputy Chief Corporate Officer, CapitaLand Limited.
To meet and even exceed OHS legal requirements, CapitaLand has in place a robust OHS Management System which includes promoting a culture of individual ownership and responsibility for OHS management, and seeking the active support of its stakeholders. At CapitaLand Limited, staff are also sent for first aid courses with the Singapore First Aid Society.
It is always good to know what to do in an emergency. So, here are some tips to keep the workplace safe.
The adage "prevention is better than cure" is something especially applicable to OHS. In 2011, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded to 4,470 cases of fire outbreaks. The number was the lowest recorded in a decade and vigilance may well be the key.
Whether at home, in a public place, in the office or at worksites, always ensure that all exits and passageways are unobstructed and unlocked. Corridors and stairways should also be free of clutter that may block safe evacuation.
There are many causes of fires. In modern situations, electrical causes of fires can be as prevalent as others. So, do not overload electrical outlets with too many extensions because it can lead to overheating of plugs. Ensure that electrical wiring are insulated and maintained since cracked or broken extension socket outlets can cause electricity leakage. On that note, all electrical installation, maintenance and repair work should be done by a licensed electrical worker.
To prevent electrocution, ensure that all appliances are in working order because an unearthed plug can cause electric shocks when there is a short circuit in the appliance. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) can prevent electrocution by cutting off electricity supply immediately when leakages are detected. Make sure your RCCB is properly installed and functioning. Finally, keep electrical appliances away from water because water conducts electricity and touching these appliances while being in contact can cause electrocution.
"Where there is smoke, there is fire". So, a smoke detector in the office can be a valuable early warning system for detecting fires. Every home and office should have fire extinguishers as well and everyone taught to use the fire extinguisher.
The acronym P.A.S.S encapsulates the instructions for the proper use of the fire extinguisher. First, pull the pin which usually has the inspection tag attached to it. Next, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Then, squeeze the handle and sweep back and forth as you spray. A standard fire extinguisher has less than 30 seconds of spray time.
If you are ever in a building on fire, the first thing to do is to leave the building in a calm and orderly manner. Do not ignore the fire alarm and do not return to your work station to retrieve your valuables.
"The two fire wardens on each floor who have been briefed and trained by the building manager will help to evacuate the people. One will be in front to lead everyone out. The other will be the last to leave to make sure no one is left behind," said Sharon Tan, Administrative Assistant, CapitaLand Limited, who is trained as a fire warden to learn how to use the fire extinguisher. "We are familiar with all the exits in the building."
If possible, contain the fire by closing the door to the room in which in the fire is in and call SCDF at 995 for help. If the fire is manageable, try to put it out with a fire extinguisher if it poses no harm to yourself or others.
If you are trapped in a room with thick smoke, go low. Crawl on your hands and knees to the nearest exit because smoke naturally rises, leaving about 30 to 60 centimetres of fresh air at ground level that is free of toxic contents.
If you cannot find an exit, do not panic. Go into a safe room, preferably one with a window facing the road, and shut the door behind you. Cover the gap between the door and the floor with cloth to prevent smoke from seeping in.
If your clothes are on fire, take them off. Otherwise, stop running; drop to the floor, covering your face with your hands to prevent inhaling the smoke fumes; and roll around to put out the fire. Rolling deprives the fire of the oxygen it needs.
Generally, working in an office gives you fewer occasions to fall or be injured but that does not mean that it cannot happen. Keeping the work station, especially the common walking areas clutter-free can prevent trips and falls. When lifting heavy boxes or objects, squat and lift with your legs instead of bending over the objects. Lifting with your back can cause back injuries or muscle strain.
For example, a blocked airway can kill someone in three to four minutes. An ambulance may take longer than that to arrive. Knowing how to clear someone's airways while help comes can mean the difference between life and death.
"I found the first aid course, especially the CPR and handling choking very useful. Heart attacks can happen to anyone, anytime," said Tan who is also a first-aider.
Within minutes of a heart attack, brain death occurs unless the heart begins beating again. Without a defibrillator which uses electricity to shock the heart into action, the best chance of survival is through the administration of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to restart the heart. CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) within five minutes of the collapse, increases the chances of survival by 30 to 50 per cent. Without these, every passing minute reduces the chances of survival by seven to 10 per cent. After 10minutes, few are ever revived, according to the American Heart Association. That is why CapitaMalls have AEDs readily available.
Other tips Tan found practical was how to deal with nose bleeds.
"I always thought that you had to tilt the head back. But in truth, that would make the blood flow into the throat and make the person choke. You should actually bend over and pinch the bridge of the nose to stop the bleed," she shared.
Since a large part of an office worker's time is spent sitting at a work station, how a work station is configured and how you sit can contribute to your occupational health. Improper sitting positions for extended periods of time can lead to back, neck and even circulation problems.
Of course, no matter how great your posture or work station is, do not forget to get up and move about every hour or so. Sitting requires muscles to be held in a fixed position. This causes blood vessels in the muscles to be squeezed, reducing blood flow, leading to fatigue and making those muscles more prone to injury. Shifting your position regularly; and getting up to move or stretch help to alleviate this problem.
So, make sure that your desk allows your hands, arms and wrist to be in a straight line parallel to the floor. Your chair and monitor should be at a height that allows you to look straight ahead at the monitor. When seated, your chair should allow you to have your feet firmly planted on the ground. Otherwise, make sure you have a foot rest. Your back, thigh and hips should also be fully supported. At CapitaLand, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is of such great importance that it bought new ergonomic work chairs for all 200 of its employees at the corporate office. It also worked to adjust the work stations so they were more ergonomically aligned.

Perhaps you want to return a list. For example:
polarToXY[r_, c_] := {r Cos[c], r Sin[c]}
A list, indicated by braces, is "one thing" but it can contain as many

But what if it was touted as an "anti-aging secret" by Dr. Oz?
Click to See The Biggest Secret in Hollywood History
Dr. Oz investigates effective and potent anti-aging serums that have been tested and reviewed by real women
"What Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid do is get rid of all the old, dead layers of skin and help your skin generate fresh new ones. Our tests show that you can erase almost 20 to 30 years off your face in less than 14 days. But the key is to choose the creams and serums that contain the highest and purest quality ingredients, since they're not all the same." - Dr. Oz
Celebrities around the world like Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Aniston, and Kelly Ripa have all admitted to using anti-aging creams to maintain their youthful glow.
The Benefits of Using an Anti-Aging Cream
As you become older your skin's ability to renew itself slows down. Your skin will not be able to produce as much collagen and the natural proteins responsible for the firmness of your skin will start to decline. All these factors will result in your skin being dehydrated and wrinkles will start appearing. Fortunately there is an anti-aging cream you can rely on for every skin type, for different concerns and for all ages.

With the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season starting today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be using a new computer model this year to better forecast the development of these monster storms.
The model uses satellite data to identify hurricane structure patterns related to "eyewall replacement cycles," which occur when a second eyewall forms around the original and eventually overtakes it.
"Hurricanes usually strengthen and grow gradually over time, but eyewall replacement cycles can cause very sudden changes in size and intensity," says NOAA scientist Jim Kossin.
The eyewall is the ring of thunderstorms that surrounds a storm's eye. The heaviest rain, strongest winds and worst turbulence are usually in the eyewall.
"This is an important first step towards understanding how we can use the eyewall cycle to someday improve intensity forecasts," said hurricane specialist James Franklin of the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane intensity forecasts remain one of the most difficult aspects of hurricane prediction.
The six-month Atlantic hurricane season lasts until Nov. 30.

Planar 7060 – A 720p Darkchip3 DLP Home Theater Projector – Overview
Overall color handling and dynamics of the Planar 7060
With white peaking set to 10, here is a good cross section to show how the Planar 7060 performed overall. Generally images were richly saturated, and offer nice dark blacks for a feel of good depth:
Planar 7060 Shadow Detail and Black Levels
Let's take a look at some images, and discuss black levels and shadow detail. Rather, I will focus on black levels, because I suspect that my conclusions on shadow details will not be accurate, relative to the production versions, as they will perform better.
Black levels are most impressive, as I would expect from any Darkchip3 DLP projector. Note, the two higher end Planar's claim even better, and use a dynamic iris.
On star scenes the Planar 7060 (white peaking at 10) performed admirably. Not only did it reveal lots and lots of stars (especially compared to lesser projectors), but the blacks had that "inky" black look to them, that really makes you think "pure black".
Starting first with standard DVD, here are two images from The Fifth Element, the first, the starship image found on almost all reviews done for the last year or more:
Despite the exposure being pretty much "right on" there are plenty of stars. Slightly overexposing the image brings out even more, and makes them look more spectacular, but oversaturates areas of the ship and flare on the left (the oversaturation comes from camera limitations).
This second image I have been using to demonstrate black levels, especially with projectors having dynamic irises (almost all are LCD projectors, which inherently can't match DLP's black level performance, so use irises to compensate. When a projector has a dynamic iris, I take a shot as you see it here, and again with menus open. The bright menus, effectively defeat the use of the iris, and you get to see the black level quality deteriorate. Since there is no iris, no need for the menu shot.
Good performance in terms of black levels and shadow detail is not just about counting stars, so here are a number of dark scenes, to give you a good idea of the Planar's abilities, starting with one of my favorite scenes to work with, from Aeon Flux. The near black table top, and bright lighting make this scene tough to reproduce well, yet the Planar 7060 does it just fine. Note, in particular, the shadows cast on the table on the lower center and right. I can't wait to see how a production 7060 handles this scene:
And, while we are back to Phantom, here is the cavern scene I use to reveal dark shadow details in all recent projector reviews: The first image is normally exposed, and the second one, significantly overexposed so that you can see details in the walls, ground, and the horse, that are lost by the limitations of my digital camera:
You can easily see the frescos on the wall behind the horse, and middle right, but the detail in the darkest areas on the right wall, and the left wall, lack any detail. Other projectors do better. However, this ties directly to the problem described above. I will reshoot this image when the production 7060 arrives.
In the same vein, here is the scene I use on regular DVD from Lord of the Rings. In this case, however, the details we are looking for are not as close to black as above, so you really can see the details in the shed and the grown.
Planar 7060 Shadow Detail and Black Levels
Space Cowboys (HD-DVD) is even better thanks to the extended dynamics of HD-DVD
Planar 7060 Shadow Detail and Black Levels
A night scene from Aeon Flux - rich colors, great saturation. Eye-popping!
Below are additional photos, frames from Sin City (standard DVD), that are inherently dark and good tests for a projectors ability to present shadow details: The first three, in a bar, show Nancy Dancing, a man drinking, and a closeup of Nancy. In this sequence the movie is basically shot in black and white (or rather sepia/white), with only occasional spot color. Note the details in the walls and objects on the right, in the first image.
Our last image is from Phantom again, but this time from the black and white section of the movie at the beginning. Shadow detail is good, but I plan to review this image with the replacement, production, 7060:

Ms. Blackwell is very professional and cordial. She explained the details of the case clearly. I felt very confident that she was giving the best advice.
Posted by Rohit
She maybe a very experienced lawyer but I think she needs to take some course to learn some "manners". I got referred through LRS and didn't had $20 (yes, compare that to the fees) cash on me when I came to visit and also forgot my checkbook. Talked to LRS and they don't take phone payments for consultation and just as I was about to reschedule my appointment for later, so I can come prepared next time, came Betty Blackwell. Not only she said I was late (although I asked in advance if I need to reschedule as I will be running late and her assistant said it's fine), she straight away told me (very rudely, while emphasizing on how important her time is compared to mine) to pay the money or find another lawyer. I was baffled and angry and couldn't believe how could someone so professional and experienced be so rude. Maybe it's her ego, a bad day, or maybe that's just the way she treats her potential/current clients, I just didn't like her attitude as a potential client and so I said thanks, and left.
Thanks for nothing Betty, I hope you get a lot of clients with that attitude of yours!
Posted by Set me free
I hired Betty Blackwell several years ago when I lived in Travis County. I came to her for assistance after being charged with felony assault. I work as a professional and my career and life was on the verge of being over with this criminal charge. After consulting with several attorneys who all told me basically that I was going to do jail time or I was going to settle for 10+ years probation, I met Betty Blackwell. She listened to me patiently, hearing all the facts and details of what happend. She was honest and upfront and seemed very caring towards me at this horrible time in my life. She was able to gather all the facts and witnesses to prove my innocence and prove that I was not the violent criminal that I was made out to be. She and her assistant always kept me informed so I was never left in the dark. Thanks to Betty, we got the results I needed and I have my freedom and life back. I now can put this nightmare behind me. I will ALWAYS be forever grateful for her hard work that she did for me. I HIGHLY recommend her as an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Thank you again Betty! May god bless you for your service and dedication to help those who are wrongly accused.

Long Beach, California (AFP) March 3, 2011
A German computer security expert said Thursday he believes the United States and Israel's Mossad unleashed the malicious Stuxnet worm on Iran's nuclear program.
"My opinion is that the Mossad is involved," Ralph Langner said while discussing his in-depth Stuxnet analysis at a prestigious TED conference in the Southern California city of Long Beach.
"But, the leading source is not Israel... There is only one leading source, and that is the United States."
There has been widespread speculation Israel was behind the Stuxnet worm that has attacked computers in Iran, and Tehran has blamed the Jewish state and the United States for the killing of two nuclear scientists in November and January.
"The idea behind Stuxnet computer worm is really quite simple," Langner said. "We don't want Iran to get the bomb."
The malicious code was crafted to stealthily take control of valves and rotors at an Iranian nuclear plant, according to Langner.
"It was engineered by people who obviously had inside information," he explained. "They probably also knew the shoe size of the operator."
Stuxnet targets computer control systems made by German industrial giant Siemens and commonly used to manage water supplies, oil rigs, power plants and other critical infrastructure.
"The idea here is to circumvent digital data systems, so the human operator could not get there fast enough," Langner said.
"When digital safety systems are compromised, really bad things can happen -- your plant can blow up.
Most Stuxnet infections have been discovered in Iran, giving rise to speculation it was intended to sabotage nuclear facilities there. The worm was crafted to recognize the system it was to attack.
The New York Times reported in January that US and Israeli intelligence services collaborated to develop the computer worm to sabotage Iran's efforts to make a nuclear bomb.
Russia called on NATO in January to launch an investigation into the computer worm that targeted a Russian-built Iranian nuclear power plant, saying the incident could have triggered a new Chernobyl.
Russia's envoy to NATO in January said Stuxnet caused centrifuges producing enriched uranium at the Bushehr plant to spin out of control, which could have sparked a new "Chernobyl tragedy," the 1986 nuclear meltdown in Ukraine.
"The operators saw on their screens that the centrifuges were working normally when in fact they were out of control," Dmitry Rogozin told reporters after meeting with ambassadors from the 28-nation Western alliance.
Russia is helping Iran build a nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr for civilian use.
Langner said the Stuxnet code was designed to trick human operators by showing them recorded readings indicating machinery is running normally while behind the scenes they are heading for destruction.
"It's definitely hard-core sabotage," Langner said of Stuxnet. "It's like in the movies where during a heist the security camera is running pre-recorded video showing nothing is wrong."
Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency has denied that the Stuxnet attack effected the country's nuclear program, including Bushehr.
A terrifying aspect of Stuxnet, according to Langner, is that it is a generic attack that would work well in factories, power plants, or other operations plentiful in the United States.
"It's a cyber weapon of mass destruction," Langner said. "We'd better start preparing right now."

Canon REALiS WUX4000 LCOS Projector Review
Canon REALiS WUX4000 Appearance
The Canon REALiS WUX4000 is a pretty standard looking projector. It has clean lines and its simplicity mean you won't be stuck with an eyesore in your state of the art new classroom or conference room. Starting from the front you will find the lens. The WUX4000 features horizontal and vertical lens shift. It also, allows you the choice of three different lenses depending on your installation needs. The front of the projector is also is where the air intake is, so you will find the simply designed intake screen. Also, the Infrared is located in the front for receiving the signal from the remote.
Moving to the right side of the projector you will find all the inputs, outputs, and menu for interacting with the projector. This projector really has it all in terms of inputs. From left to right you will first see the LAN port for connecting the projector to your network. The WUX4000 can be controlled via your web browser to setup all the projectors functions from anywhere in the building where both the projector and your computer are on the same network. Moving to the right again we have the component/vga input for receiving the signal from your computer or from a HD source via component to vga conversion cable. Kind of unique is that the projector features both a DVI-D and a HDMI 1.3 port. This will allow you to accept multiple forms of HD content. For command and control of the projector Canon provides a RS-232 port. There is also an input for two 3.5mm mini dims and one 3.5mm mini dim output to an external sound system. One last thing that is located on the side of the projector is the power input and the kensington lock slot right below it.
The rear of the projector is where the heat exhausts from the projector. There is also another infrared sensor as well. You can access the lamp by loosening screws on the back of the projector and opening the exhaust door. A nice design since you will not have to take down the projector from a ceiling mount to do maintenance. The filter is the same way in that you can just slide the filter out. The tab for doing this is very visible on the opposite side of the lens. Check your manual for more detailed instructions on removing and replacing lamps and filters.
Setup and Menus
Setup of the projector, if you are just going to set it on a table or stand is going to be easier than ever. Not only do the rear feet adjust to allow you placement flexibility, but the projector features horizontal and vertical motorized lens shift. Getting a true, squared image has never been easier. This helps in avoiding the use of keystone correction, which only stands to degrade the image.
When using lens shift you are able adjust the projector upwards by 55% percent of the original image and you can adjust 15% down from the original image. So, essentially you have a lot more flexibility on the up than the down. Reverse that information if you are going to ceiling mount the projector. The numbers for moving the projector left to right are 10% of the original projected image. Expect to achieve an 100 inch diagonal from 10.5 feet away, assuming you are zoomed out to the maximum extends with the standard lens. When zoom is at the minimum you should expect that the projector will have to be about 15.7 feet from the screen. So, mounting the projector between 10.5 feet and 15.7 feet should allow you to use the zoom to reach a 100 inch diagonal if that is what you desire.
The menus were very descriptive, and the icons to go along with the description made finding what you were looking for easy. A very well designed menu system in my opinion.
Remote Control
The remote was very full featured and laid out in such a way that it seems Canon really wanted to develop a remote that allowed complete control of the projector. Ergonomically it is pretty standard, it is well labeled as well. You will need to more than likely look down at the remote since the buttons are pretty much the same size.
The navigation buttons are clearly separated from the other buttons, but since they are not much larger than other buttons, again, might require you to look down during a presentation. This is pretty common though with remotes because of their size. Some manufacturers however have designed some pretty intuitive remotes that reduce the amount of times you need to look down since the buttons are give very specific shapes and sizes to distinguish their functions.
Best part is, as mentioned, you can get to the functions you need to very easily and that, for the most part, makes this a decent remote in my opinion.

Food demand by Asia is expected to double by 2050, alerting the federal government to the need for immediate action to improve Australia's agricultural export potential.
"Between now and 2025 the Australian government will put a series of grassroots programs, plans and policies into action to position our agriculture sector for the opportunities presented by our Asian neighbours," Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig said.
The Asian Century white paper includes a nine-page case study on agriculture.
The paper outlines policies including a joint study on co-operation on food security with China, a national food plan, rural research and development, the welcoming of foreign investment and efforts made in trade agreements.
The government said it would "support two-way investment with the Asian region in food and food processing . . . to help drive the development of Australia's regional and remote areas, especially in Northern Australia and Tasmania."
It put special emphasis on developing Darwin as a regional hub for a significant number of goods and services.
However, Australian Agricultural chief executive David Farley, whose request for co-investment to build Darwin's first abattoir this year was knocked back by the federal government, said that though the policies sounded good, real action was needed.
"They are nice words, they just have to be able to do it," he said.
"We are closely aligned with the government's policies but when I look at the support we are getting it seems we are not."
He said the white paper should have included important issues such as land tenure, which could provide security for domestic agricultural businesses and for overseas investors looking to invest in Australian agriculture.
National Farmers Federation president Jock Laurie said the policy document was an improvement on the government's previous position.
"If you look back at the original white paper there was nothing at all on agriculture, so this is certainly better than what it was," he said.
The opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their "ingenuity" to Asian countries was a key area he wanted the government to pursue rigorously, including the possibility of co-funding opportunities to sell intellectual property.
The government said it would "continue to screen all proposed acquisitions of agricultural land and direct investments in agribusinesses by foreign government-related entities, irrespective of their value."

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Good stuff!
I love this! My mom used to make this for us when we were kids and wouldn't eat, but she adds a cup/scoop full of any flavor yogurt and leaves out the ice. It makes it thicker and creamier.
Soy/Rice milk berry blast
I often substitue soy and or rice milk for regular milk in the smoothies for those in my family who are lactose intolerant. The smoothie is a great way to start the day, and a great mid day snack when we know we will be rushing dinner or doing take out. We have enjoyed Carnation Instant Breakfast for thirty years.
Nutritional Health Helper
My husband has a medical condition which often leaves him with no appetite and not wanting to eat. Using the Carnation Strawberry Powder, frozen strawberries, ice cream and making a smoothie drink is something he loves and will accept anytime. This is a big load off my mind in knowing that he is getting his nutritional needs met in a healthy manner. Thank you...thank you...thank you.

Aging Conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, 67, took to the pages of Paris' literary monthly, La Table Ronde, with some of the lessons of his musical life.
"If you want to fill a concert hall," wrote Furtwängler, who does most of his conducting in Germany nowadays, "it is more than ever the works of Tchaikovsky and Beethoven that you must play. A work by Debussy sends the box-office receipts down, and ... a poster which displays nothing but the names of living composers is a sure promise of an empty concert hall . . . There must be a reason."
Furtwängler's notion of the reason:...

JimW-203: Will a Kodak Carousel fit?
No :-)
Sir Canon: can you use things like b&w or sepia?
Yes, both B&W and sepia are acceptable
RuthC: Hi vqueen,
If you are accepting hedgehogs from European, and porcupines from America, will you also accept echidnas (or spiny anteaters) from Australia?
Thanks, Ruth
Yes, Ruth, they are also acceptable. Best regards
(unknown member): Two very different creatures...
and both are acceptable in this challenge :-)
savonie: While there are some fine shots a great many of these aren't 'container ships' -
Is the challenge for 'container' as well as 'cargo' ships? Container ships are very different from tankers and bulkers etc- Perhaps I am misled by the challenge title-
You are correct, this challenge is only for container cargo ship. Photos that are related to other types of ship will be disqualified during the submission period
I see that the topic I chose is again confusing despite all my efforts... Here is the explanation: ivy in the sense of what common people think. Let's get not into botanical discussions. Climber, creeper plants such bougainvillea or some type of roses are not within the scope. Leaves based creepers and climbers are acceptable. I hope it's much clearer now. Best regards
SHR100: It must be ivy? Or allowed any climber.
specifically ivy please. thank you
Birse Boy: Hello, I submitted an image which appears to have been removed as it is no longer there...any idea why ?
here is the message I had written in the automated message: domes are round and don't have angles?... if I'm wrong, please send me a personal messsage with explanation, I can cancel the disqualification if necessary
RossAndrew: I think that you should DQ all the shots with only one animal in the frame, after all you did say (ANIMALS) and not animal.
How pedantic/small minded can you get. You need to have a good long look at your self.
This should include your sample shot as it has only one ANIMAL.
You made your point, thank you for your comment. best regards
chrisby: Dear Host, does the challenge requires animals which just belongs to grazing species or shall they be photographed while grazing?
I did not have time during the weekend to take of the challenge, disqualifications will take place before the challenge is closed
chrisby: Dear Host, does the challenge requires animals which just belongs to grazing species or shall they be photographed while grazing?
While grazing indeed.
Birse Boy: Hello, I submitted an image which appears to have been removed as it is no longer there...any idea why ?
it's disqualified, you must have received an automated message explaining the reason for disqualification
cmantx: There are several moth shots entered. Are you allowing moths on flowers. I can see that as a logical followup to this challenge.
Yes, moths are also acceptable
anisah: Two questions:
1. Does the image have to show the full interior of the dome? This is asked as many domes in mosques and some Christian churches are too large to get the whole dome into a single shot, even with a modern wide angle lens.
2. Many Roman Catholic churches, and even some others, also have a half dome over the main altar. Many such domes are beautifully decorated and originally served the same purpose as full domes, ie for sound amplification. Would such half domes be acceptable, as many possible entrants may not have access to full domes?
Thank you in advance for considering these questions.
Hi, thank you for your questions. Here are the answers:
1) it does not have to be the whole dome
2) half domes are also acceptable
Best regards
vqueen: Dear participants, the correct word is "mihrap". However, in international texts, "mihrap" is explained as "altar" so that it makes sense to a wider audience. The sample photo is self-explanatory I beleive.
I changed the "altar" word with "mihrab" to eliminate confusion. Thanks for your comments
Bing Chow: Is B&W allowed?
Dear participants, the correct word is "mihrap". However, in international texts, "mihrap" is explained as "altar" so that it makes sense to a wider audience. The sample photo is self-explanatory I beleive.
RoyBatty888: Are photos of parts of anchors accepted?just the iron chain for example.
The whole anchor must be visible. Thank you
merops: This was my favourite photo in this challenge. I work in forests in the spring and you've caught the wonderful way that the light comes through the young leaves. It's also a nice composition. And you had a proper March link, which you explained in the notes. Congratulations on a wonderful entry, and thanks for posting :-)
Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. In fact I took this picture during a 2 days long trekking tour in the woods and it was one of the best nature experiences I had.

Tropes that apply to the performer and his work:
- Double Entendre: In pretty much all his work, but some songs, such as "She Is A Big Girl Now", "Up With The Cock" and "Dread Rock" are one big Double Entendre.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: Seriously, "Minto"?
- Fan Nickname: "The King of the Rude".
- Hidden Depths: Wrote "A Child's Prayer" for Elvis Presley. Elvis died before the song was recorded.
- Refuge in Audacity: Number of hit singles in the UK? 11. Number of songs banned from BBC Radio? 11.
- Small Reference Pools: Judge Dread has nothing to do with the helmeted crime-fighter of Mega-City One. The name was taken from the title of a Prince Buster song, which was in turn named for a notorious Jamaican Hanging Judge.

Today's trailer, for the Mexican film "Halley," is a headscratcher.
The movie playing at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival is described in the festival's film guide thusly: "Alberto is dead and can no longer hide it. Before surrendering to his living death, he forms an unusual relationship with Luly, the manager of the 24-hour gym where he works as a night guard."
What that has to do with the trailer's static images, of the furniture in a sunlit apartment and of two flies in a jar, and David Lynch-ready musical score is anybody's guess.
"Halley" plays, naturally, in the New Frontier section of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

IBM has just announced the launch of 75 new Centers of Excellence in India, so I thought it would be interesting to take an inside look at one. Learn more about Chandra and connect with him on his My developerWorks profile.

Tell me about yourself and what you're currently working on...

I am a Training coordinator in Centurion Group of Institutes(CGI), Orissa where we give the quality training on various technologies based on IBM, SUN and CISCO technologies.

How did you get started in technology?

I started my IT career in year 2001. I have always been keen to learn about new technologies and wanted to learn computer programming languages. I used to spend more time on various new technology of
computer and now I want to give knowledge to the students.

Describe your favorite IT project

My favorite IT projects are based on Java Technology. I also like to architect and design software on various platforms. My favorite IT project was the Thief Detector project, when I guided final year students based on .net technology. I also like my one operating system project - MOS2k6 , which is small operating system developed using C/C++. This provides the facility of Linux to Microsoft Windows.

Tell me about the IBM Center of Excellence (CoE). What kinds of things do you do?

Yes! This is a very interesting area, where I have applied my experience to add more knowledge in my existing experience. I used to train the students on various IBM products like DB2,RAD,RFT,TIVOLI etc. this the most interesting area where IBM provides a better career path to achieve knowledge . I used to mold the student on various IBM technology in IBM CoE.

My target is to guide the student globally on IBM My developerWorks, which is the best place to communicate with the students as well as with world class developers of Technology .

What IBM products are you seeing the most demand to develop skills in right now?

Yes! This is a very good question. According to my observation DB2, Lotus and RFT are the most in demand technology. DB2 is very good for the industry for maintaining the database and testing
technology and RFT is also very useful technology for developers.

What is your favorite aspect of working with students at the Jagannath Institute for Technology and Management?

Yes! You have asked very good question. I used to spend myself with the students at JITM is that students are devoting their time and follow the best practice. I used to involve my more time to give
better to the students and they follow. one thing more that JITM management people are very supportive to the students towards their career growth and development. and this one of the favorite aspect of
working with students at Jagannath Institute for Technology and Management?

If you were advising your students on three things they need to be successful in an IT career, what would you tell them?

The first thing I would like to suggest to students is that they should acquire basic knowledge of their career properly, because that is the base of the IT career. Second thing, students should choose
their area and specialization where they will exist. And third thing I would like to suggest them that they should always be ready to Imagine, invent, and share their knowledge across the world.

How do you think the IT industry is evolving in India?

As I have seen in 10 years, Information Technology has grown too much in india. There was a larger growth of the IT during the previous 5 years. Where every sectors of Government as well as private sectors
has been computerized and every one has become very familiar to use Information Technology. In future also india is very large market for IT in the world.

How do you use developerWorks?

First I am very thankful to the IBM and IBM developers who have provided the great resources for the students as well as for the developers. I always use it to share the information among the developers
and students. I also assist the students to use developerWorks.

What interests or activities do you like to do when you get free time?

Usually I don't have free time. I am always busy creating and developing some new thing. When I feel, I am free I use the time to write programs, developing/updating websites, searching new
articles and working for my PhD Research.

 This week get to know Chandra Bhushan Kumar , training coordinator at an IBM Center of Excellence in India.

In the 12 years between 2000 and 2012 IBM stock grew free cash flow by 8.7% on an annualized basis. During this period, operating margins expanded by 6.8% annually thanks to its evolution from hardware business into a software and service company.
Since 2000, IBM stock has returned $150 billion to shareholders, including reducing its share count by 35% through share repurchases. If IBM continues to buy back its stock at the same rate, Berkshire Hathaway will own 9.3% of IBM stock without buying another share.
In the three years between 2013-2015, IBM expects to make $20 billion in acquisitions and $15 billion in capital spending while still returning $70 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks.
If the past 12 years is any indication, you can expect IBM stock to generate annual free cash flow of at least $18 billion or $54 billion over three years. With approximately $105 billion spoken for excluding debt repayment, it's going to need to pick up the pace if it wants to meet its goals without taking on further debt.
Regardless of what happens, it certainly generates enough free cash to support a higher debt load. Obviously, CEO Ginni Rometty is confident that it can meet its plans for cash over the next couple of years. I see no reason to doubt that.
IBM Stock Bottom Line
IBM stock has been a major disappointment the past couple of years, underperforming the S&P 500 by 10 and 33 percentage points respectively in 2012 and 2013. By comparison, Berkshire Hathaway has matched the index and should continue to do perform reasonably well.
So, should you have IBM on your buy list?
If it were me I'd be more inclined to buy Berkshire Hathaway's B shares to benefit from any resurgence in IBM stock. Having said that, I don't think you risk much owning IBM at current prices. With a reasonable dividend and significant share repurchases, shareholders could do a lot worse than owning IBM stock.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Ferrante, Jonathan Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-06072012-122548 Title TEXTING LAWS AND CELL PHONE USERS: MOTIVATIONS FOR TEXTING WHILE DRIVING Degree Master of Mass Communication (M.M.C.) Department Mass Communication Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Reynolds, Amy Committee Chair Freeman, Craig Committee Member Porter, Lance Committee Member Keywords
- texting
- distracted driving
- texting laws
Date of Defense 2012-04-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractABSTRACT
Legal scholars, academics, and industry researchers have indicated that using cell phones when driving is among the most dangerous hazard faced by motorists today. This relatively new technology is embedded in the lives of most people, at all times of the day, including when behind the wheel of a car. Harvard and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration researchers have exposed the dangers of cell phones and driving, but a solution to curtail the problem has yet to be found. This study seeks to understand the motivations and mediating factors affecting texting and driving law compliance by cell phone users. I conducted a survey that gathered preliminary data that was used to create an outline for two focus groups. The survey results showed that 18 to 21 year old undergraduates are highly knowledgeable (92 percent) about texting and driving laws, receive the majority of this information from friends, parents, and news sources, and have experienced, seen, or heard at least one negative story about texting and driving. The two focus groups explained the knowledge and motivations further. Participants reported a high degree of self-efficacy when multitasking with digital devices. This, coupled with what the participants perceived to be ineffective laws, prompted increased usage and deficient self-regulation. This project reveals how a digital native's hyper usage of mobile communication devices combined with texting and driving laws that are poorly crafted has created an atmosphere where texting and driving is neither constrained by laws or self-regulation.

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2009
Syrah/Shiraz from Barossa, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz - a wine of immense intensity and muscularity that would demand time in the barrel and bottle before release. The wine was named "Stonewell" after the district that he believed best showed the characters admired most in Barossa Shiraz.
Dense black centre with a deep garnet rim. The bouquet is redolent of dark plums and chocolate with a hint of mixed spice. A wine of great dignity, it's structure is superbly taut, with intense fruit depth reined in by the firm tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Firm, focused and juicy with currant and plum fruit that mingles with coffee and toasted bread notes as the finish lingers against well-integrated tannins. Best from 2015 through 2021. 50 cases imported."
Wine Enthusiast - "Lehmann's 2009 may not be its best or longest lived Stonewell, but it's a luscious example nonetheless. It's round and creamy in the mouth, with no hard edges, and easy-to-appreciate flavors of black cherries, plums, toasty oak and menthol. Drink now–2020."
Peter Lehmann Winery
The history of Peter Lehmann Wines is intrinsically linked to the events that made the Barossa famous. Formed in 1979 by Peter Lehmann to assist the grape growers of the region who at the time were facing financial ruin, they now enjoy the rewards of longstanding friendships and loyalty. Each vintage, over 160 grape growers supply Peter Lehmann with the best fruit from over 900 of the best vineyards located throughout the Barossa. These amazing resources enable them to craft wines for every occasion, including their flagship, Stonewall. Peter Lehmann Wines has developed a reputation as one of Australia's most respected, energetic and innovative premium wine producers and today, the team continues to create wines that delight wine lovers around the globe.

About Barossa ValleyView a map of Barossa Valley wineries
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.
Barossa ValleyBarossa is red-wine territory, with red grapes consisting of about two-thirds of the region's plantings. The reds, Shiraz in particular, are lauded for their rich, concentrated flavors and aging potential. Old vines of Shiraz and Grenache are popular, many up to 80 years old. The valley is home to some of the most famous vineyards of Australia - this is where the first Penfolds Grange was made. Whites are also found, mainly from the Semillon grape – these wines are as full-bodied as the reds although harder to find. Riesling and Chardonnay are also planted.
Eden ValleyRight next to Barossa Valley, but a bit higher in elevation, Eden Valley is an ideal neighbor. Many wineries source vineyards from both areas as the climate difference in Eden Valley leads to wines of a different character. Reds are still mainly Shiraz and Grenache, but the wines are often more restrained and less dense than those in the Barossa Valley. Whites are popular here too. Eden Valley Rieslings and Semillons are particularly excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Producer of the film franchise shared a picture of Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth on the last day of filming.
Filming for the last movie in "The Hunger Games" franchise has been wrapped up. Producer Nina Jacobson shared a photo of the lead actors embracing on the last day of filming "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2".
"That's a wrap," she tweeted, thanking author Suzanne Collins and director Francis Lawrence. "Thank you HG Fans. Other than that, I'm speechless." Jacobson also wrote, "Goodbye Berlin. With deepest thanks to our remarkable #Mockingjay cast and crew."
Faces in the photo were not seen but based on their haircuts, the group hug included Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. It has been a long journey for the three actors. They were first cast in early 2011 and became household names, Lawrence in particular, when the first film hit the box office.
Production was rocked when Philip Seymour Hoffman died suddenly in February this year. The 46-year-old actor played the pivotal role of game designer Plutarch Heavensbee. However, he had completed most of his "Mockingjay" scenes before he died.
"I think he might have had eight to 10 days left on our schedule [when he died]," Lawrence said in an interview last month. "In most of the scenes, Philip didn't have any dialogue. We are going to put him into those scenes, but we're only using real footage. We're not creating anything digital or a robotic version of him."
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" will hit U.S. theaters on November 21 while the second part is scheduled for November 20, 2015 release.
That's a wrap. Thank you @SuzanneCollins Thank you @Hibbits Thank you HG Fans. Other than that, I'm speechless. pic.twitter.com/Ryoz5KntJI— nina jacobson (@ninajacobson) June 21, 2014
