Imagine finally obtaining all the things you have always wanted… financial freedom, a successful career, great relationships, less stress, an amazing love life, happiness, peace, spiritual awareness—and a higher state of consciousness.
With Quantum Quest you will no longer feel powerless about creating the life you want. Instead, you can custom-design the perfect blueprint for a future filled with success, love, health and abundance.
Science has attempted to explain life's mysteries for thousands of years, but only recently have mainstream scientists come to recognize that we live in a multidimensional universe—and that things are not always what they may seem.
In the early 1900s, Albert Einstein became the first scientist to show that physical reality is made up of wavelengths of particles that can manifest into infinite possibilities. This is the quantum field, the basis for exciting new breakthroughs in physics.
Quantum Quest is based on the real science of quantum physics, plus the dynamic energies that interpenetrate the material and nonmaterial worlds.
While the "Secret" and "The Law of Attraction" talk about our ability to manifest infinite possibilities from the universe into our own unique destiny, Quantum Quest actually delivers the real secret —with its patent-pending Sensory Dynamics.
Today, many of the world's leading scientific researchers believe that we live in an intelligent universe. This universal intelligence can transmit and receive ideas and information. The power of our ability to contact this intelligence may hold the keys to all creativity…
As early as 50,000BC in Paleolithic Asia, shamans discovered that information from this universal intelligence is available to us via altered states of consciousness. Today's physicists have validated these ancient practices, by using string theory to prove that alternate dimensions exist. Quantum Quest celebrates this union of the scientific and spiritual.
The concepts and principles used in Quantum Quest are not new. They have merely been forgotten as our lives have grown continually more complex. However, when we finally remember who we really are—and get in touch with this universal consciousness, as the shamans have for tens of thousands of years—we can create the reality we NEED, deserve, AND DESIRE.
A film director creates a world from his own imagination—and then realizes that world onscreen.
Quantum Quest empowers YOU to become the director of your life story, then step into your creation and have it become YOUR LIFE!
Quantum Quest—with its patent-pending process Sensory Dynamics—allows you to connect with the perfect blueprint of whom and what you want to be. It does this by first creating a three dimensional holographic model of perfection so real, vivid and perfect that your mind cannot tell the difference between your old reality and the one you have envisioned for yourself.
As your Unconscious mind recognizes that what was previously impossible is now within reach, you begin to HARNESS its immense power to work for you, NOT AGAINST YOU. Imagine: no more negative self-talk or images of failure to hold you back!
When everything else fails…Quantum Quest can help you reach your goals.
Your journey with Quantum Quest begins as you are guided through your past, present and future with a series of alpha brainwave sessions designed to remove any limiting beliefs that can sabotage you from reaching your goals.
Your voyage will continue through a series of powerful Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) sessions that will redirect your thoughts to the Now. These sessions will keep you focused on what you really want in your life.
As you continue, you will participate in a process called Timeline Dynamics that literally erases old emotions of anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt—freeing the mind to create a new reality out of the quantum field of universal intelligence.
You will then be taken through a process called Emotional Parts Integration (EPI), which is designed to bring balance into the areas of your life where you may be experiencing emotional confusion or loss of direction. EPI replaces confusion and indecisiveness with clarity and balance.
Next, you will embark on the Vibrational Energy Workshop where you will be taught the powerful process of increasing your vibrational frequency. This will energize your body, increase your health, and stimulate your body's powerful, natural ability to heal. Increased vibrational frequency will allow you to reach a higher realm of consciousness where you can tap into the infinite power of your inner genius—while experiencing new levels of physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. As a human being we exist in a world where everything is made of energy that vibrates at variable frequencies. When we match our frequency to the reality that we desire, we can't help but attract that desired into our lives. This is not philosophy - this is science.
Afterwards, you will be introduced to Temporal Tapping, an amazing tool for addressing everything from bad habits to debilitating addictions, emotional and physiological disorders, and even physical sickness. It can also help you stop smoking and lose weight. This astounding tool is now used by professional athletes to gain a competitive advantage.
You will then experience the Emotional Transformation Technique, which will allow you to take hold of your emotions quickly and easily—instantly transforming limiting low-vibrational emotions into love, joy, gratitude and forgiveness. Even hatred can be transformed into a loving state with this powerful emotional transformation technique.
Lastly, after you have mastered aligning your conscious and Unconscious minds, you will be guided through the patent-pending Sensory Dynamics. Here, you will turn up your vibrational frequency while enjoying a kinesthetic journey while your mind is in a very pleasant, relaxed alpha brainwave-state. This potentiates your new reality by opening up neuronal pathways in your brain. Your hopes, dreams, and unrealized potential will come instantly alive.
Lifelong education is one of the keys to living an extraordinary life. When you join today please be sure to click the VIP box and you will get continual access every month to the latest content—plus full access to exclusive live, interactive webinars only available through VIP.
VIP takes you beyond Quantum Quest's core materials—and is being offered to you when you enroll for just half the normal price. You may cancel any time, so there is ZERO risk!
The concepts and strategies that went into creating Quantum Quest came to me while working through altered states of mind—not unlike Shamans have been doing for over 50,000 years.
The knowledgebase that I will share with you is now primarily understood only by Quantum Physicists. However, as understanding of human consciousness continues to expand I believe that these spiritual-science teachings will eventually be practiced by all.
Although not everybody has the same experiences or achieves the same results, many of my clients went on to do amazing things with the knowledge that they gained from the material provided in this program.
The course material being offered is valued at over $12,000.00 if taken with me personally during my 1-on-1 sessions, so I'm very excited that I'm now able to offer these materials to you at an affordable price.
The testimonials you see throughout the site came from very thoughtful clients who want to share their experiences with you. I hope that you, too, will be become a fan of Quantum Quest and send me your testimonial as well.
The following is a brief list of results that the typical student may experience as a direct result of taking this program:
Including: more energy and less fatigue, amazing ability to break bad habits like smoking, drinking, over eating, procrastination. The list of benefits from taking this program is endless.
Past graduates have reported: lower blood pressure, stronger immune system, better concentration, sense of overall peace and relaxation, feeling centered and control of life. Total and complete happiness & a renewed spirit.
This brief description should convey something about what QuantumQuest is, what products we sell, what services we provide & how it can change your life.

The total area of Kerala is 38,8663 sq. Kilometers and is 1.8% of the area of India. The population is about 30 million and is about 3.4% of the total Indian population. Kerala tops in literacy in the whole country and is nearly 100%. Altogether there are 6 universities of which 2 are technical. Reading habits are very high and there are about 170 dailies. The largest community is Hindu followed by Muslim and then Christian.
The people of Kerala are noted for their cleanliness and tidiness. Bath in the morning and evening is almost ritualistic here. The dressing is simple although foreign and North Indian fashions sometimes find their expression among the educated youth. The traditional dress for the malayali is a dhothi (a plane piece of cloth about 2 metres long) worn around the waist and a smaller piece on sholder. The Nair ladies used to wear 'onnara' - one dhothi around the waist, a short blouse and a neriathu (a narrow piece of cloth with a boarder). But most of the women folk now wear sarees. The fashion for youngsters is churidar (a trouser and a long, loose shirt).
The result of high literacy and a low employment opportunity has been a perpetual problem for this thickly populated state. But this is compensated very much by a migration of educated to other states and other countries.

Review by Kipo6556
"You will always be their big daddy"
"Bioshock" is a pretty hard game to write a review for because, there are some areas which make you want to climb onto the roof and just shout to the world about how wonderful it is and that everyone who doesnt already own this game wants shot. There are other areas however where "Bioshock" becomes repetitive or dull.
"Bioshock", technicallal speaking is a masterpiece. The dark ghostly passageways, the moaning of the metal of the bulk-head and graphically the game is beautiful, literally you can happily walk through this game very slowly because theres just so much too look at. The storyline itself I thought was very good, it really draws the player in and the ending you recieve (depending on how you played) really makes you feel something inside which I think is very rare for a game to be able to do. Your journey through the city of Rapture is at the end of the day linear but the creators of the game have been very nice and have implemented many sub-areas that you dont need to go in but gives Rapture a generally larger feel to it. In some other reviews it has been remarked that the resurection ability is something of a lets down, this ability means that basically when you die you dont have to walk miles back through areas that you have already been through 20,000,000 times only to find out that those enemies you killed 2 hours ago are still dead, it just really quickens the pace of the whole expirience which for me personally is great but other people may find this annoying.
One problem that I have personally with Bioshock is that I found it fairly easy to complete, I bought it and the next day I had it completed on the normal difficulty having killed all big daddies and rescuing all little sisters, (big daddys = scary diving suit things, little sisters = scary demon children) that being said it was a whole lot of fun and I will be definatly be playing again. During your adventure you will find many weapons strewn around Rapture there range from simple revolvers to chemical throwers and grenade launchers, there are 3 different kinds of ammunition for each gun so theres lots of room to customise how you fight individual enemies. As for the enemies themselves they are well designed but after a while you being to realise that you have been fighting the same miscelanious splicer for the last 12 hours, other than splicers you have the games hallmark enemy, the "Big Daddy" or "Bouncer", these mio-mechanical hulks defend the "little sisters" with their lives and usually suceed as they have a huge amount of health and can deal out rediculous amounts of damage leaving your body broken, and useless ^^.
One very clever aspect of the game, and this may well be its best feature. Is that it constantly forces you to make difficult moral choices which are integral to the plot, what you do affects the game, other games have done this before but none achieve it with the kind of brutal reality which "Bioshock" does. So ask yourself, would you kill a child if it was going to help you escape? Or would you refuse and risk your own life to save theirs? It's all up to you.
I gave "Bioshock" a 9/10 rating because I think that it is a very, very good game and I think that ultimately us, the players decide how good the expirence is, the game gives you all the options with different ammo, weapons and plasmids (abilities like lightning and incinerate) but at the end of the day, you can just run through it like any other shooter ever concieved with a tommy gun and shoot anything that moves. You play "Bioshock" the way YOU want. enjoy it =D

homophobia | noun | an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people.
Since its coinage in 1973, the term 'homophobia' has become commonplace in not only political discourse, but everyday discussion. However, can we really suggest that a distaste for homosexual people is a phobia?
Let's start by taking a look at the true definition of phobia:
phobia | noun | an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something
When I first thought about this definition, it concerned me. The two defining characteristics of a phobia are a) that it is irrational; b) that it evokes intense fear. However, when I think about some prominent figures that I would label as homophobes, or even members of my community or social group, I cannot see that they have a fear of homosexuals. Fear, to me, makes us recoil in horror, retract, take cover. However, anti-gays demonstrate none of these characteristics, most probably due to the fact that homophobia itself is an aggressive (in the true sense of the word), reactionary attitude.
The top 3 phobias in the Western world are as follows:
Acrophobia - Fear of Heights
Claustrophobia - Fear of Enclosed Spaces
Nyctophobia - Fear of the Dark
The above phobias would, according to scientific research and basic physiological theory, evoke drastically increased heart-rates and elevated respiration when triggered. However, researchers at the University of Arkansas have suggested that people with an aversion to homosexuals exhibit an initial spike in heart-rate, but then a huge drop shortly after. By comparing the physical and psychological reactions of so-called 'homophobics' to people with other phobias and distastes, these psychologists have concluded that people with an aversion to homosexuals exhibit signs of disgust, not fear.
Furthermore, these researchers also drew parallels between so-called 'homophobics' and people who simply held conservative views on sexuality. They have thus suggested that the basis of such an aversion to homosexuals is social or attidudinal, not psychopathological, as a phobia would suggest.
However, why does all this matter?
Labelling something as a phobia somewhat legitimises an attitude - it appears to give a scientific or biological explanation to someone's actions. By suggesting that being anti-gay is a phobia, we are implying that there is some basis for their 'irrational' fear, other than social or attidudinal factors. This dangerously ignores the social factors surrounding anti-gay attitudes, which can be tackled with education and societal change, and instead suggests this aversion is pathological.
Do we need an alternative?
Probably not. As George Weinberg, who coined the term, explained in an interview:
We use 'freelance' for writers who don't throw lances anymore… It seems curious that this word is getting such scrutiny while words like triskaidekaphobia (the fear of the number 13) hangs around.
Weinberg goes onto suggest that homophobia is in fact based on an underlying fear:
Is homophobia always based on fear? I thought so and still think so. Maybe envy in some cases. But that's a psychological question. Is every snarling dog afraid? Probably yes.
So, although scientific research has proven that homophobia does not evoke fear and irrational emotions consistent with those of an 'actual' phobia; it is difficult to deny that there is no underlying fear present (fear of change, fear of dissent, etc.). Furthermore, as Weinburg points out, there are many other words that do not possess a perfectly logical etymology, and thus changing the word on these grounds would be inconsistent. Finally, I personally worry that pushing for an adoption of a more accurate word such as 'sexualism' would only risk dividing the push for LGBT rights, and lead to more resentment and accusation of 'political correctness'.
Disliking gay people isn't a phobia - there's no excuse or pathological reason - but, we'll stick with 'homophobia' for now.

Our 9 year old LFA did that back when he was 4 and 5, and treating for yeast did help, I think. He went GFCF and we gave him probiotics, especially sacchromyces boulardi (sp?). Also ground flax seed in his GFCF waffles.
He hasn't done the hysterical laughter too much lately, about once very month or two, and he usually only wakes up in the night for a few hours once a week or so, more if he's having a gut flare up. He can now tolerate casein, so we just have him GF, although he refuses milk and only eats small amounts of cheese, but we put powdered milk in his GF pizza dough.

Frances Williams Preston, country music exec, dies at 83
Frances Williams Preston, the Nashville native who began her professional career as a mail messenger and became one of the most successful and consequential executives in the history of the music industry, died Wednesday morning of congestive heart failure. She was 83.
Preston was a maverick whose work makes her an architect of modern-day Nashville.
"Frances was awe-inspiring," said acclaimed singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash. "I looked up to her so much — she was a charming, powerful woman in an entrenched boys club. She rose to the top, and gathered admirers as she advanced, rather than enemies. She had a lot of grace, a keen eye for business and a true love of music."
Preston was a transformational figure who led the performance rights organization BMI and established BMI's Nashville office in 1958. She was the first female executive on Nashville's Music Row and the first female corporate executive in Tennessee.
Preston was integral in building Nashville's reputation as a music center, in raising millions of charity dollars (enabling the creation of the Frances Williams Preston Research Laboratories at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center) and in helping to establish the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
"She was like the mayor, the chamber of commerce and the head of the bank," said Jody Williams, vice president of writer/publisher relations at BMI, who holds the same job Preston did when she hired Williams for his first job in the music business more than 30 years ago.
"She made BMI into the city hall of Nashville," he said. "The people that helped make this Music City were the artists, of course, but if you had to pick a business figure, the single biggest one that made Nashville 'Music City' was Frances Preston."
'A friend to all songwriters'
Preston directed the first Nashville awards program geared toward songwriters and music publishers, and was the first woman to chair the Country Music Association board. For 18 years, from 1986-2004, she led BMI's national headquarters, protecting and expanding songwriters' rights and representing the catalogs of Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Kris Kristofferson, Carole King, Dolly Parton, Little Richard, Sting and thousands of others.
She was a giant: a member of the Country Music and Gospel Music halls of fame, a recipient of The Recording Academy's National Trustees Award. Her Country Music Hall of Fame plaque cites her as "the most influential country music executive of her generation," and one does not achieve such a designation without a measure of steel. Indeed, Preston was a fierce business competitor, particularly when vying for assets against BMI's performance-rights rival, ASCAP.
Yet her humanity trumped her tenacity, and her ultimate loyalty was to songs and songwriters, not to any one company. As tributes flow from her BMI associates, it's instructive to consider the thoughts of one of ASCAP's iconic writers, Don Schlitz.
"She's one of the grand matriarchs of country music, and a friend to all songwriters," Schlitz said.
Thom Schuyler met Preston more than 20 years ago as a 25-year-old songwriter who had just arrived in Nashville to pursue that dream. Preston inspired the kind of loyalty among songwriters that helped grow BMI into the biggest employer on Music Row, a home base for many of the town's iconic songwriters.
"I was young and nervous, but when you are one-on-one with Frances, it's like being with a family member," said Schuyler, who went on to become a successful BMI songwriter with songs recorded by more than 200 artists.
A woman in what was then almost an exclusively male music industry, Preston served as mentor to many women — and a great many men — who followed.
"It took me about 15 minutes to realize that she was the only woman who had the key to the men's room," said Mary Ann McCready, a partner with artist management group Flood, Bumstead, McCready & McCarthy, Inc. "She helped me think like a man. The truth was Frances was very firm about her efforts and what she believed in. She also had a huge heart. That was true of other people at the time —Billy Sherrill and Chet Atkins. But they were guys, and they maybe didn't have to be quite so firm, because their gender allowed for that. Frances had to be tougher just to play on that gameboard."
Preston started out, however, as a mail messenger in the 1950s, a job that involved answering BMI songwriter Hank Williams' fan mail. She soon began serving as a receptionist at WSM and hosting a fashion and style program for WSM-TV. Trained as a teacher, she was also an eager student who learned the inner workings of the entertainment business and impressed the songwriters, recording artists and industry honchos she met.
Robert J. Burton, president of BMI, hired her in 1958 and charged her with opening a Nashville office for the company, which collects and distributes royalties to songwriters and publishers. BMI's Nashville headquarters was initially . Preston's parents' garage, but a more substantial structure was erected for a 1962 opening, and the BMI building on 16th Avenue South became a Music Row hallmark (aided by expansions in 1964 and 1995).
Just after joining BMI, Preston organized a ceremony — an early-morning breakfast — to honor top country songwriters. George Jones, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Mel Tillis, Roger Miller, Wilma Lee Cooper, Harlan Howard, Don Everly and other greats received awards that day, and in 1959 the breakfast became a black-tie dinner with Preston serving as the stylish hostess.
More than a half century later, the BMI Country Awards draws some of country music's top talents, and it is among the most coveted tickets of Nashville's annual, late-autumn awards season.
Frances Williams married businessman E.J. Preston in 1962 and changed her last name to Preston, which she kept even though the two were later divorced. In 1964, Preston became BMI's vice president and in so doing became the first female executive in Tennessee.
Preston would later recall that in 1964 women were not even allowed in the main dining room at the then-powerful Cumberland Club downtown. But Preston skillfully averted, ignored or busted through whatever impediments existed for women in those times, as she worked with Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and many others to maximize opportunities for country songwriters and publishers.
In 1985, Preston shifted to a position as senior vice president of performing rights and relocated to BMI's New York headquarters. She was named BMI's president and chief executive officer in 1986, and as president she increased revenues and royalty distribution to more than 300,000 songwriters, composers and publishers.
BMI's revenue tripled during her tenure as BMI chief, and Preston led the way in licensing new digital media.
She also fought for fair compensation for writers and performers in the digital era, spending time on Capitol Hill to promote copyright protection. In the mid-1990s, she was a member of Vice President Al Gore's National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council. By then, she was already a Country Music Hall of Famer, having been inducted in 1992. Later, she would become a member of the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame (in 1999) and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2004).
Creating mutual respect
Preston's significance to and popularity among songwriters was underscored in 2010, when the Nashville Songwriters Foundation gave her a Mentor Award and subsequently renamed the trophy the Frances Williams Preston Mentor Award. At that ceremony, Grammy-nominated songwriter and presenter Layng Martine Jr. said Mrs. Preston had actually mentored the city of Nashville, championing songwriters as professionals.
"You gave us respect, and you got us respect," he said.
In return, songwriters respected Preston. In March 2012 at the Martell Honors (Preston's favorite philanthropic endeavor was her work with the T.J. Martell Foundation, a cancer research organization that has become the music industry's leading charity), Preston joined Emmylou Harris in presenting Kris Kristofferson with a prize that had been renamed the Frances Williams Preston Lifetime Music Industry Award.
"I can't think of an honor I would value more in my whole life than a Frances Preston award," said Kristofferson, a Country Music Hall of Famer.
BMI's Jody Williams first met Preston when he was a teenager, a schoolmate to her two sons who found he was always welcome to hang out at the Preston home. He said he returned to her again and again for career advice over the years. But Williams went silent when asked what she must think about his career.
"I'm sorry, I'm getting choked up," he said. "I'm certain she's proud of me. And there's not a day that goes by when I don't face a question and I don't say, 'What would Frances do?' Because she's been through every scenario."

The overarching goal of Cooperative Orthotic and Prosthetic Enterprise (COPE) is to ensure that people with physical disabilities have local, free access to a quality, nationally-managed rehabilitation service. To do this in a sustainable manner COPE's strategy has been to partner long term with the Government of Laos' (GOL) Center for Medical Rehabilitation (CMR) through which all Government's physical rehabilitation work, excluding military personnel, takes place.
COPE and CMR have worked together since 1997, the year COPE was founded, and have developed a strong and productive working relationship. In 1996, the year before COPE was formed, existing services fitted a total of 138 mobility devices throughout Lao PDR. Since 2012, more one thousand orthotic and prosthetic devices are being produced annually. Approximately one third of patients are women and children.
Throughout the last decade, COPE has remained the only charity organization in Lao PDR to offer ongoing support to the GOL's P&O department. This support has included material and equipment and important technical capacity building and training of GoL prosthetic and orthotic technicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
In accordance with the consensus statements from the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO), COPE introduced polypropylene technology into Lao PDR using the system designed by the International Committee of the Red Cross Special Fund for the Disabled (ICRC-SFD): this is a tried and tested technology for robust, individually-made, high quality, low-cost devices.
In order to reach people with disabilities, many of whom live in remote and rural locations, COPE works through the GOL's system of regional networks, with the main rehabilitation centre in Vientiane supporting satellite Provincial Rehabilitation Centres (PRCs) in four provinces: Luang Prabang, Xiang Khuang, Savannakhet and Champassak.
COPE opened a Visitor Center in 2008 with the aim to increase awareness about disability in Laos and highlight the amazing work that is being done to help people with disabilities lead full and productive lives. It also presents the unexploded ordnance (UXO) problem in Laos and how it links in with disability. The Visitor Center is open seven days a week from 9:00-18:00 and is suitable for all ages. We also run a cafe and gift shop. All profit generated from the Visitor Center goes back into the rehabilitation project.
COPE's office and administration of the project is undertaken in Vientiane and is independently audited.
COPE Visitor Centre will be closed on 1st May 2017

60,000 baby salmon released at Pillar Point Harbor
"Coastside is coordinating this project because we want to be part of the solution to the challenges that the salmon fishery faces," said Gorelnik. "One challenge is the death trap of the Delta that requires the trucking or barging of juvenile fish. We are hopeful that a release on the San Mateo Coastline will provide good survival rates to adulthood and good opportunities for recreational and commercial anglers."

60,000 baby salmon released at Pillar Point Harbor
by Dan Bacher
Members of the Coastside Fishing Club and California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) officials on Thursday morning teamed up to transfer 60,000 baby Chinook salmon (smolts) from tanker trucks to specially-built net pens floating in Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay.
The hatchery-raised Central Valley salmon – normally released into San Pablo Bay at this time of year – were released into the holding pen where they will acclimate for two weeks before being released into the ocean.
Marc Gorelnik of the Coastside Fishing Club said this was the first of two transfers totaling 180,000 fish and represents the only coastal release of baby salmon in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"Coastside is coordinating this project because we want to be part of the solution to the challenges that the salmon fishery faces," said Gorelnik. "One challenge is the death trap of the Delta that requires the trucking or barging of juvenile fish. We are hopeful that a release on the San Mateo Coastline will provide good survival rates to adulthood and good opportunities for recreational and commercial anglers."
"We bought two pens from a company in Washington," he said. "The first one was shipped in modular form and we assembled it at Pillar Point Harbor."
The dimensions of the interior pen are 48 feet by 24 feet, while the outside dimensions are 54 feet by 30 feet.
Club volunteers will periodically refill the automatic feeder purchased by Coastside. The fish were 60 to the pound when delivered by state officials, but will grow rapidly in the pens and after they are released into the ocean.
Due to the massive loss of Central Valley chinook salmon in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as a result of the operation of huge export pumps that divert a major portion of the freshwater flowing into the San Francisco Bay, salmon advocates are working with the state to physically truck baby salmon around the Delta pumps for safe release, according to Gorelnik.
This project is a partnership between the DFG and Coastside Fishing Club, Northern California's largest community of recreational fishermen committed to the common goal of improving our region's fisheries. "We have had great cooperation from the commercial fishermen in Half Moon Bay," noted Gorelnik.
Gorelnik said one expected benefit of the project is to increase the local abundance of adult salmon. Members of the public will then be able to catch them, providing jobs and world-class recreational opportunity while sustaining economic activity in the region.
This is the third full recreational fishing season off the San Mateo County coast since the Central Valley salmon collapse of 2008 and 2009, when record low numbers of fall run chinooks returning to the Central Valley rivers prompted the closure of recreational and commercial salmon fishing two years in a row.
Big numbers of salmon are expected to return to the Sacramento, Feather, American and Mokelumne rivers this fall. Federal biologists estimate the ocean abundance of Sacramento River fall Chinook in 2012 at 819,400, far above the number – 122,000 to 180,000 fish - needed for optimum spawning.
In the Klamath River, biologists are forecasting four times more salmon than last year – and an amazing 15 times more than in 2006. The ocean salmon population is estimated to be 1.6 million adult Klamath River fall Chinook, compared to last year's forecast of 371,100.

Well everyone, it's our last zinester feature before Zine Fest Houston takes off in a blinding blaze of glory tomorrow at the Museum of Printing History. We sit down this evening with community member, crafter, and traveler Makenzie Maupin! I want that recipe zine at the end, yum!
Why do you create zines?
Making zines has always been my way of coping. Whether I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere for a terrible summer or stuck behind a desk or stuck on a long family vacation, I've always made zines to help me pass the time and to help me feel like I'm doing something productive, creative, and meaningful when the rest of my life is the opposite.
What is your favorite part of zine fest?
I love catching up with friends, meeting new people, and being inspired by all the neat zines people are putting out. I find working with other creative people helps my own creativity and keeps me motivated to keep creating.
What are your favorite places in Houston?
Where to begin? There's so many great places to eat and so many things to see. I love walking to Southside for an iced latte. I recently had brunch at Radical Eats and I basically can die happy now. I love Art Asylum and I can spend hours there picking over all the stuff. I love visiting the HAUS Co-ops, mainly because all my friends live there and it feels like a second home. Speaking of favorite places in Houston, be sure to look at my restaurant review zine and favorite places in Houston zine (if I finish it in time…)!
What other creative ventures do you have besides making zines?
Not as many as I would like but I love knitting, crochet, and embroidery. My mom and grandma taught me how to do all kinds of needle craft and sewing and all that kind of stuff. I love making linocuts. I am also always wanting to learn more programming skills. I'm not very good at it but it's fascinating work. I'd love to learn woodworking or welding but my best friend says no way, because I hate detailed work and measuring things.
What new projects are you working on this year?
I haven't been making that many zines lately, but wanted to participate in Zine Fest as a way to help me be more motivated to do creative work. It's challenging to the the 9-5 (well…8-4) thing and then come home and try to be involved in meaningful activities outside of work when all I want to do is cuddle and watch netflix! The good news is that making zines allows me to be creative and productive AND stay in bed and cuddle all at the same time!
What will be at your table this year?
Look for a small zine of my favorite recipes. They're all super easy. Many fancy enough for entertaining such as a gorgeous Potato, Kale, and Ricotta Torte and a Zuchinni Galette. There's also some old standbys like "'use it before it goes bad' hash" (a hash made with sweet potatos that will help you use all your almost gone bad veggies) and " 'Whatever you can find' Curry" which is a basic, basic, basic curry recipe using whatever you have on hand.

The Long And Winding Creek
Enjoyed a great vacation last week, did you miss me? Certainly enjoyed the great weather here in Central New York. Basically a "Staycation", even though I do not care much for that term. Spent the week camping near West Canada Creek.
I can think of nothing more relaxing than floating gently down the creek while the sun shines warmly on your face. I did two 3 hour runs. The first one on Monday with the kids (pictured) and the second with the wife on Thursday. It was all fun and games until our tube decided to give way to a growing leak. We were halfway through the run when we lost all air. Yikes! Here we were at least 2 miles from the end of our float and we basically had to walk the rocky creek dragging the depleted tube. Have you ever tried to walk a long distance in a rocky slippery creek? Yeah, not too fun. We finally found a place where we could walk up the bank. Another 3/4 mile uphill in the 90 degree heat we dragged the unusable tube. Finally made it to Highway 8 that left a mile walk back to our campsite. Walked the last mile on the highway dragging the tube. It was in shreds when we arrived at our destination. Do you think we will be able to return this thing to the store? In hindsight, it turned out to be a nice vacation. Very relaxing.

Plastic surgery is so mainstream nowadays. New boobs, botox and lip injections are no longer for the bored, rich house wife or movie stars. You too can have brand new boobs, for a low monthly payment of $45!
Any how, I guess that the novelty of being a horny midget wore off and midget porn star, Bridget "The Midget" Powers, decided to get fake tits too.

Ewww, they're almost up to her neck.
Gee, I wish my mom was a breast-implanted midget porn star. Bridget's kid is going to have some issues…
That is so wrong in so many ways.
She should have spent more $ on making those a whole lot bigger instead of getting all the gross tats.
Are you kidding. Tattoo's are sexy.
But.. im not into the whole midget thing… meh.
I still love tattoos though.
She came to a strip club in my town to perform a month or two ago
Ew…implants are made for 'normal sized' women. She should've just had some custom made to fit her size, because now they just look like pecs.
There is nothing wrong with her boobs. If she likes them then thats all that matters. I think they look just fine. I'd have a grand ol' time with'em myself, but thats just me.
im in love with this woman!!!
she was flat before now she is hot i love her and her films
so is everything else on a midget!

Kiev (AFP) April 19, 2011
International leaders pledged hundreds of millions of dollars at a conference in Kiev Tuesday to complete a permanent shelter to secure the ruins of Ukraine's exploded Chernobyl power station.
The conference ahead of the 25th anniversary of the nuclear explosion raised 550 million euros (about $785 million) in pledges, short of the 740 million euros that Ukraine is seeking to complete the project.
It was attended by officials from more than 50 countries and focused on concerns over nuclear safety following the quake damage to Japan's Fukushima power plant, with officials stressing the need to prevent future accidents.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych hailed the pledges at the conference ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 1986 nuclear explosion on April 26 as "unprecedented."
"This conference has been a real breakthrough," he said, speaking to journalists.
Ukraine has said it needs 740 million euros to complete a giant shelter that will slide on rails over the damaged reactor and its concrete cover, known as the sarcophagus, which was recently shored up after it became unstable.
It also needs the money to fund a project to build safe storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel from the plant, which still contains radioactive magma and fuel rods after it exploded during a planned test by engineers.
"The catastrophe at Chernobyl power station left a deep wound that Ukraine will need to live with for many years ahead," Yanukovych said in his opening speech.
"We thank the international community for not leaving Ukraine alone with this problem."
The president of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, which administers the projects, Thomas Mirow, announced it will release between 120 and 180 million euros in the coming months.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso pledged 110 million euros ($156 million) from the European Union
Praising the summit as a "powerful show of unity by the international community," he said: "Recent events in Fukushima, Japan, have also reminded us of the danger this issue may represent.
"More than ever our responsibility is to join our efforts to limit the consequences of such disasters and to prepare for the future."
Britain said it would give 28.5 million pounds, while Germany pledged 42.4 million euros. Russia said it would give 45 million euros. Ukraine said it would give $104 million up to 2014.
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, who co-chaired the meeting as the French president of the G8, promised an extra contribution of 47 million euros.
Fillon said he was confident countries which did not make pledges would "be able to make decisions shortly."
The radiation shield projects are administered by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and have earlier collected more than 1.1 billion euros in international funding.
"The catastrophe has affected millions of people, thousands died and tens of thousands continue to suffer," Yanukovych said, while estimates on the total of those affected by the disaster varied.
Nevertheless he stressed that Ukraine would remain dependent on nuclear power, which it uses for around half of its energy, saying that a ban on nuclear energy was simply "empty dreams."
On Tuesday afternoon, leaders attended a summit on civil nuclear energy, focusing on fears over safety after the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan was crippled by the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Describing Japan as one of the world's most developed nuclear energy producers, UN chief Ban Ki-moon warned that the disaster at Fukushima could not be compared directly with Chernobyl.
"Chernobyl offers one set of lessons, the disaster in Japan offers another, vastly more complex," he said, adding that he had launched a UN-wide probe into Fukushima's implications.
He called for greater powers for the International Atomic Energy Association and for all countries with nuclear power to sign up to the UN convention.
"By joining forces we can make sure the tragedies of Chernobyl and Fukushima are things of the past, not harbingers of the future."

Paying the price to do keywords searches etc is fine (of course, using code that does not add unnecessary price), but the new proposal suffers in two places: (a) it uses a lot of allocation -- as in the previous message, this is both in (wrapper) function definitions and in function calls; (b) it looks like wrapper functions will have some penalty too. The first one is problematic, since it also will drive people away from using keyword args. The second is very bad -- given the code-infection property, it means that lots of code will need to pay the price. I can see myself replicating mzlib code just because I want to suck every cpu cycle for some program... Here's an alternative proposal: * The core language is left as-is, minus self-quoting keywords. This means that if you call (+ 1 2 '#:foo 3) you still get an error, but it should not be any worse than using any other non-numeric type. #:foo by itself is still a syntax error. The extra punctuation still has the good effect of discouraging keywords where symbols can do. * The higher-level language (I don't remember if it was `big' or `large') redefines `#%app' so that you can have unquoted keywords. It can also do some of the syntax-time operations that were discussed, like ordering keywords, moving them all to the end, detecting multiple keywords and value-less keywords etc etc. * This covers most of the benefits of the original design, but not all. For example, in this language, you can still do (+ 1 2 #:foo 3) and not get an error; and you can be surprised that: (list #:foo 1 2 3) produces (2 3 #:foo 1). These problems happen only when you use an unquoted keyword for a non-keyword function. * Side advantage: existing code can be used, perhaps with removing some of the exotic things that "kw.ss" can do. The above seems to me to be a resonable compromise: it doesn't cover all errors, but it is *much* better (IMO) than keyword-ifying being a backward-incompatible change. Looking back at the original two problems that Matthew mentioned: > (greet #:last "Doe") greet: expecting a (#:last #:hi) keyword got: "Doe" > (greet "John" #:hi #:last "Doe") greet: expecting a (#:last #:hi) keyword got: "Doe" The first one is still a problem, but the second one is also a syntax error. (Still, I prefer this over breaking code in the original design.) [ I'm not sure how this can be solved both sanely and efficiently. Perhaps make this: (greet "John" #:last "Doe") expand to (greet "John" keyword-value-marker #:last "Doe") where that marker is a unique value, or an instance of a unique struct? (This is bad because `greet' will need to check each of its positional arguments to make sure that they're not the marker.) Maybe expand that to something like (apply greet "John" (make-keyword-args '(#:last "Doe"))) and extend `apply' to work on improper lists where the last value is a keyword-args instance? (This is also suffering from the incompatibility problem -- `(lambda xs (list? xs))' can return #f, but it feels less invasive as the original suggestion.) Or maybe expand to (greet (make-keyword-args '(#:last "Doe")) "John") (But this leads to confusing errors when passing keyword arguments to a procedure that does not expect them.) ] -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://www.barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

The tale of four researchers : trials and triumphs from the phenomenographic research specialization
Ireland, Joseph, Tambyah, Mallihai M., Neofa, Zui, & Harding, Terry (2009) The tale of four researchers : trials and triumphs from the phenomenographic research specialization. In AARE 2008 International Education Conference : Changing Climates : Educatrion for Sustainable Futures, 30th November - 4th December2008, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane.

This paper explores the tactics employed to overcome challenges, unique and common, for others new to or considering a foray into qualitative research using phenomenography. Each contributing author is a postgraduate student making use of the phenomenographical research specialisation in their thesis. Several reoccurring themes of difficulty repeatedly surfaced for the researchers, as well as unique problems specific to the research topic of each researcher. The first two contributors have identified the historical antecedents of phenomenography and identified the constructivist-interpretive approach of phenomenography. This is situated in a study of middle years teachers' conceptions of "essential knowledge" in social science education, and a study of the qualitatively different ways in which lower primary school teachers in Papua New Guinea (PNG) understand outcomes-based education. The third contributor discusses practical issues with the most common form of data gathering in phenomenography, the interview, in relation to a study into primary school teachers' conceptions of teaching science through inquiry learning. The fourth contributor discusses data analysis, the structure of awareness, and the 'outcome space' as part of a study into the roles of parents in home educated children. Common findings indicate that all researchers strove to understand the phenomenon from the perspective of the participants, and illustrate that phenomenography may be employed to answer a wide variety of research questions. The result is a mapping of personal encounters with the methodology that may prove useful to researchers seeking to better understand this qualitative research methodology.

Steelers could find value at tight end
Jarvis Jones? Kenny Vaccaro? Cordarrelle Patterson? Tavon Austin?
No, no, no and no.
For all of their multiple needs — and they might have more than in any recent draft — the Steelers simply must take one player if he is available with the No. 17 pick in the NFL Draft, according to ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.
And that's Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert.
Eifert would almost be a luxury to a team that already has Heath Miller — who caught a team-high 71 passes last season — even though it is uncertain when Miller will return from a torn ACL. But to Kiper, he would be a must-take pick.
"If he's there for the Steelers, he helps that offense. He helps Big Ben (Roethlisberger) a lot," Kiper said. "You need two tight ends in this league. Look at all the options that teams have with two tight ends, how viable and problematic for a defense having two very good tight ends is."
For all the attention given Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o during and after the season, Eifert separated himself from the rest of the tight ends at the NFL Scouting Combine in February and likely is to be the first Fighting Irish player taken in the draft.
"I'm lucky to be coming in at a time when the type of tight end I am is being used quite a bit in the passing game," Eifert said. "But (I'm) also a guy that can stay in the game on every down throughout the game and can block, create mismatches in the passing game. ... I strive to be a complete tight end."
Zach Ertz (6-foot-6, 250) is the same size as Eifert and put up huge numbers at Stanford not only with Andrew Luck at quarterback but after him, too. Eifert and Ertz probably will go 1-2 among tight ends, though Ertz probably won't go until the second round.
"Both these kids are what today's tight ends are all about, an ability to move around and do different things," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "They're both big enough to line up on the line if you ask them to."
He added, "I thought Eifert did a better job blocking this year than he did in past years and a little better job than Ertz."
But, Ertz said in his defense, "At Stanford, we were a run-first offense. I took a lot of pride in my run blocking. As a receiver, that stuff kind of came more naturally."
Another intriguing tight end is Gavin Escobar, who might have the best hands of the group. He is one of the few San Diego State players of recent vintage to pass up their senior season to turn pro. He made 51 catches as a sophomore and 42 more last season.
Tight ends who could go in the mid to late rounds yet offer value include Nick Casa, who was more of a blocker than a receiver at Colorado, and Kyle Jurszczyk, who was employed mostly as a receiver at Harvard only to unexpectedly show off his blocking skills at the Senior Bowl.

The Tokay Tigers varsity baseball team took a while to get its offense going. In the first four innings, the Tigers left five runners on and went scoreless. But that all changed in the bottom of the fifth as the Tigers scored five runs and went on to defeat the visiting West Wolf Pack, 5-0, on Tuesday night at Zupo Field.
"We finally got it rolling in the fifth. It took us a long time. But that's baseball for you. You're not going to come out and score a bunch of runs every game," Aaron Misasi, Tokay head coach said. "So it's just one of those games where you have to wait it out and have some patience."

Pistorius Is Beaten by Oliveira in Paralympic 200 Meters Final
Alan Fonteles Cardoso Oliveira of Brazil upset South Africa's Oscar Pistorius in the 200-meter T44 final at the London Paralympic Games.
Oliveira passed world record holder Pistorius in the last 20 meters at London's Olympic Stadium to win in 21.45 seconds yesterday, with Pistorius second in 21.52. Blake Leeper, a 23- year-old American, got the bronze medal in 22.46.
The 25-year-old Pistorius, who was born without fibulas in both legs and is nicknamed "Blade Runner" for his J-shaped carbon fiber legs, last month became the first amputee runner to compete at the Olympic Games in the 400-meters and as part of South Africa's 1,600-meter relay team.
Oliveira, 20, set a record for an athlete from the Americas in the final. Pistorius, who will also compete in the 100 meters, 400 meters and 400-meter relay, had set a record time of 21.33 seconds in the heats to advance.
China leads the medal standings with 35 golds and 87 in total, while Britain has 16 golds and 54 overall. Third-place Australia has 14 golds among its 43 medals. Ukraine has 13 golds and 33 in total ahead of Russia, which has 12 golds among and 34 medals.
Serbia's Tanja Dragic won the women's javelin F12/13 with a world record mark of 42.51, and the Ukraine's Mariia Pomazan set a new world best in the women's shot put F35/36 event with 1,062 points and a mark of 12.22. Kelly Cartwright of Australia set a new world mark of 1,030 points and 4.38 meters in the women's long jump F42/44 event.
In the men's 200-meter T46 category, Yohansson Nascimento of Brazil won the gold in a world-record time of 22.05 seconds.
The games run through Sept. 9, with more than 4,000 athletes from 164 teams competing in a series of classes depending on their impairment.

London (Jun. 29)
A commission which will guard the legal rights of Jewish orphans in Europe was set up here last night at a meeting of major organizations called by Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz, following reports of mass-conversion of homeless Jewish children to Christianity. The group will be healed by Dr. Hertz and will contain representatives of the rabbinate and lay bodies.
Addressing the meeting, Prof. Gecil Roth, noted Jewish historian, revealed that in Italy 1,000 Jewish children have been baptized. He compared the situation to forced baptisms that were prevalent in Portugal in the 15th century and said that "dire historical consequences" will flow from the present situation.
Rabbi Isidor Grunfeld told the conference that representative of the rabbinate had been denied access to baptized Jewish children among a group of Dutch war orphans recuperating in England. He pointed out that many countries do not have laws which would enable Jewish bodies to adopt or become the guardians of Jewish orphans, and urged that such legislation be enacted.

You probably filled in the blank with 'cell phone,' right? According to research conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2010 around 83 percent of Americans own a cell phone. This number has probably increased by a decent margin in 2012. Cell phones have become a life line of sorts for many busy Americans. These smart devices can help easily retrieve data such as e-mails, pictures, videos and even an impromptu Google question. Games and millions of apps help stave off boredom while your waiting on an oil change or a doctor appointment. Cell phones also make us safer. The Pew research also indicated that close to 40 percent of cell phones users have used their cell phones during an emergency situation. What did we ever do without these helpful little gadgets?

In tribute to recently deceased folk music promoter Irving Steinbloom, his children stage a concert, bringing together a parade of musical eccentrics.
Having done mock-docs on community theatre (Waiting For Guffman) and dog breeding (Best In Show), Christopher Guest here harks back to his work with regulars Michael McKean and Harry Shearer on This Is Spinal Tap, as he takes a gently satirical look at the absurdities of the folk music business.
Guest's films basically involve roping in all of his friends to do schtick, but they're all amazing talents and deliver spot-on performances: Bob Balaban as the nervously clueless heir determinedly putting together the concert, Fred Willard as a busted sit-com star-cum-manager still chuckling over old catchphrases ("Hey, wha' happen?"), Paul Dooley as the surviving original Main Streeter whose microphone isn't even plugged in.
As in Tap, the songs are just exaggerated and double entendre-laden enough to be funny but remain convincingly ghastly. And the weird relationship between still-fractured Eugene Levy and settled-down Catherine O'Hara provides a genuine plot spine for all the routines.
Improv comedy at its best: subtle, hilarious, excruciating and affecting in equal measure. And you'll be quoting it for years.

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product

|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| I feel strongly that the FDA should not initiate a rulemaking to codify their interpretation of section 503(b), about duel-marketing both a prescription drug product and simultaneously an OTC product.
Making Plan B over the counter would create numerous problems especially with regard to keeping it out of the hands of minors. The FDA has no mechanism for enforcing a regulation that prohibits sale to minors. And enforcing this could not only cause serious controversy on both sides of the spectrum, but be very difficult to regulate.
I feel the FDA should step back and realize this, and not go further with this type of policy change.
|B. Is there significant confusion regarding FDA's interpretation of section 503(b) of the act?
| I myself, am not confused by 503(b) as explained on your web site here. But I have written my serious concerns above (see A), and see no logical reason for the FDA to change their policy on this issue, it would create serious controversay, difficulty, and perhaps even future lawsuits from consumers at the extreme.
|C. If so, would a rulemaking on this issue help dispet that confusion?
| I believe the rulemaking should stay as it is. And not go change policy, allowing duel-marketing of both a prescription drug product and simultaneously an OTC product. The FDA should remain firm on this issue in this regard.
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
| Selective limitation of a product to a sub-population could bring on lawsuits from either end of the spectrum from disgruntled consumers, as well as media controversy on the issue, and a near insurmountable impossibilty to enforce such a regulation.
This is a bad idea for the FDA to pursue.
|B. If it could, would it be able to do so as practical matter and, if so, how?
|No. I cannot see this happening.
| A. Assuming it is legal to market the same active ingredient in both a prescription and OTC product, may the different products be legally sold in the same package?
| This again would be a cause for concern for the consumers, and controversy could arise, and laws must be changed, and I feel this
is incorrect to do a 'blanket change of policy for reinforcement on duel-marketing drugs' in this manner.
What if other drugs arise in the future and likewise the drug companies suppling the consumers would want the same option, and what if there is cause for concern that this would be detrimental to the consumers by doing this? The FDA would then have to do 'damage control' and back-pedal on their policy on rulemaking if they follow this route.

I plan on making it to what a lot of Minnesota foodies consider the holy trinity in 3 consecutive weekends. Alma, Craftsman and La Belle Vie. Alma was great but it didn't blow me away. I went to Craftsman and it was a revelation. The Charcuterie plate is a must. the kaleidoscope of flavors blew me away...I never thought sauerkraut could be so complex and ham that is aged for 2 years, are you kidding me? The Duck confit was excellent and the pancetta wrapped trout has me rethinking why I catch and release all my trout when I go out flyfishing. If I didn't live so far away I would stop in a couple times a week, sit at the bar order a Surly Furious and the Charcuterie plate. Life doesn't get any better then this.

Wahoo, Independence Day is a week from today! We hope you've got some fun plans that involve grilling, friends and family, fireworks, and summery wines!
Have you checked out our 4th of July Menu yet?
We remember loving the 4th of July as kids, not only for watching fireworks, but especially for getting to play with sparklers, those magic wands of festive fire. These days, while we still enjoy a good pyrotechnic display, we'd go for another kind of sparkler: sparkling wine! Here are our picks for some delicious bubbly to help you celebrate our great nation's birthday. Have a safe and happy Independence Day!
Frantz Saumon 'La Cave se Rebiffe' Petillant Naturel – $22.99
Frantz Saumon has been making wine in the Loire Valley since 2002 when he graduated from oenology school. He purchased a small plot of land for himself in Montlouis, and runs a negociant (a winemaker who buys grapes from other growers) business under the name Un Saumon dans la Loire, "A Salmon in the Loire". Frantz only seeks out grapes that are grown organically and his approach to winemaking is very hands-off. He uses only natural yeasts and does not fine or filter his wines. This Petillant Naturel of Gamay is a sparkling wine made through only a single fermentation, unlike Champagne which has two fermentations. The juice is allowed to ferment with native yeasts, is lightly cooled to slow fermentation, and then bottled so fermentation will finish within the bottle – giving the wine a lightly sparkling quality. This wine has a gorgeous ruby hue and aromas of fresh cranberries. The palate is so refreshing and dry with tart pink grapefruit flavors, a light clove spice, and salty minerality. The perfect wine to kick off your 4th of July BBQ!
Doyard Cuvee Vendemiaire Champagne – $39.99
The Doyard family has a long and deep tradition of winemaking in the region of Champagne. Maurice Doyard rebuilt his vineyards after World War II and started estate-bottling Champagne in 1927. He later played a key role in establishing Champagne's governing body, the Comité Interprofessionel de Vins de Champagne, which oversees quality, sets standards, and promotes the region. The estate is now under the direction of Yannick Doyard, Maurice's grandson, who maintains one premiere cru and four grand cru biodynamically farmed vineyards. Nearly half of each year's harvest is sold off and only the highest quality grapes are kept for use in Doyard's wines. The Cuvee Vendemaire is a blend of the 2001, 2002, and 2004 vintages that was bottled in 2005 and let to rest until disgorgment in 2008. It's 100% Chardonnay, some of which was aged in barrel. The use of oak and the longer aging period make this a special champagne! Beautiful aromas of elderflower and pear lead to a lush and creamy texture. Flavors of white peach, lemon, and toasty croissant are accompanied by elegant bubbles. We're lucky Champagne pairs so easily with everything, because we can't stop drinking this!
Cava: the national sparkling wine of Spain. Just as France has Champagne and Italy has Prosecco, Spain is home to Cava. Named after the 'caves' where it is aged, it's made in the same manner as Champagne, having undergone two fermentations. However, the grapes used in Spain are different than those in France. Barcino Cava is a blend of the three main Cava grapes: Macabeo, Xarel.lo, and Parellada. But don't worry about pronouncing those. All you have to worry about is how great this wine is! Bright lemon and citrus aromas lead to a crisp and minerally palate with flavors of lemon peel, lime, and tart green apple. Barcelona's favorite sparkler is sure to find a comfortable home at your Independence Day celebrations. It's perfect as an apertif or with cheeses and salumi.

Mathematica skill level snippet(s)
I am a teacher and am often faced with the problem of how to determine
the programming skill level for some of my students (3rd year
undergraduates in Engineering and Physics). Knowledge of their skills in
Mathematica can be very important for the design of student projects
that require Mathematica.
I would appreciate suggestions for small segments of Mathematica code
(or perhaps a single segment of increasing complexity) that could be
used to at least get an idea of their skills in Mathematica. You can
assume they would be using Mathematica 7.
All suggestions, examples, comments, etc. will be welcomed :-)
