vadavid (9) Fredericksburg, Virginia | November 29, 2007
Very nice selection arranged by style. Many varieties are chilled but even more are on wooden shelves across from the coolers. Some varieties are in limited quantities but the stock seems to change regularly. It's a good idea to check in frequently to see what's new, and I do just that quite frequently. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They will leave you to browse, or make suggestions if requested. Everything is available for purchase as singles which is great for trying new varieties. Large wine selection and cheeses too! They usually have some beer open for free tastings on Saturdays.
Drake (801) Milwaukee, Wisconsin | November 13, 2009
Located in a strip mall. Decent sized beer area in the back with coolers on one side and shelves on another. Fairly sizeable beer selection with maybe a rarity or two and overall fairly well rounded. Prices are very good, even for singles. One person working there who was helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

OPPOSING EFFORTS BY NATURAL GAS EXPORTING COUNTRIES TO ESTABLISH A CARTEL -- (House of Representatives - July 11, 2007)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, for several decades, the world's supply of petroleum has been held hostage to the whims of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, also known as OPEC.
Over the past decades, OPEC has manipulated production to bring about enormous price increases. It has repeatedly manufactured energy crises and imposed embargoes against individual countries for political purposes, including right here in the United States. As a result of its policies, several of its members, and especially their elites, have grown enormously wealthy at the expense of the global economy, which has suffered severe disruption and slower growth.
Envying the success of this greedy model, many of the world's exporters of natural gas have begun taking steps to create a similar cartel in natural gas which has been termed as a ``gas OPEC.''
There are some in the West who dismiss the feasibility of a new OPEC for natural gas, citing differences in the structure of the oil and gas industries. However, Madam Speaker, the leaders of many of these gas-exporting countries do not share those doubts, and several have been publicly enthusiastic about the prospects of this new project.
In January of this year, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, proposed that Russia and Iran cooperate to establish a cartel for natural gas, prompting the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to state his great interest in this project. And Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez has announced his eager support for the proposed cartel, which he describes as an expansion of his efforts to establish a similar structure in our own Western Hemisphere.
These are not empty statements. As the gas-exporting countries formed in Doha on April 9, 2007, a committee chaired by the Russian Government was established to study the proposals for greater coordination of policies, including pricing that participants confirmed would be necessary for the creation of such a cartel.
The threat is not only economic, but strategic. Officials from Iran have made clear their interest in using this gas OPEC as an instrument for political purposes. Russia has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to use its role as a supplier of oil and gas to exert political pressure on other countries, such as Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus, among others.
NATO officials have warned of the danger of Europe's increasing dependence on Russian energy. But plans by the Europeans to diversify their sources of supply with countries such as Algeria have been called into question as Moscow has actively courted these to secure greater coordination of policies, including pricing.
Beyond Europe, U.S. allies, such as Japan and South Korea, are heavily dependent on imported natural gas. Countries such as China and India are rapidly increasing their reliance on foreign suppliers.
Currently, the United States is largely self-sufficient in natural gas. However, we are projected to greatly increase our usage over the next decades, which could produce a growing reliance on world supply.
If we are to prevent the rise of this new threat, the United States must make clear to these governments who are contemplating the establishment of this new organization that we will regard the establishment of a natural gas cartel as prejudicial to our Nation's security and global security.
We must also develop a joint strategy with our allies and all countries that are importers of natural gas, including by diversifying sources and access to international markets, such as pipelines.
As we proceed, Madam Speaker, we must keep in mind that several gas-exporting countries, such as Canada, Trinidad and Qatar, are friends of the United States. We must seek to enlist their assistance in stopping this menace before it becomes a reality that, once established, may be with us forever.
The creation of a ``gas OPEC'' world constitutes a major new threat to the security and to the economic well-being of the United States, our allies and the world. We must not stand back and let yet another global extortion racket be established. I strongly urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

The Next 25 Years in Tech
The Incredible Disappearing PC
Whether you have a PC on your desk in 10 to 15 years will be a matter of choice, not necessity. If you do, it will be vastly more powerful than your current system, thanks to advances in nanotechnology, says Doug Tougaw, an engineering professor at Valparaiso University who is developing nanocomputers.
"We're getting closer to our goal of creating computers that are a thousand times faster and smaller and use one-thousandth of the energy of today's computers," Tougaw reports. "As processors get smaller, they'll be embedded into more things. We'll also use standard-size machines packed with hundreds of chips. So we'll have very intelligent consumer products and unbelievably powerful PCs."
Computers using nanotechnology will debut in about five years, he says. Five to ten years after that, silicon will reach a point at which quantum mechanics won't allow chip pathways to get any smaller, so electric-current-based PCs will give way to optical computers that transmit streams of light instead of electrons, or perhaps to quantum computers that rely on the strange physics of atomic particles to deliver processing brawn.
"Starting around the year 2018, we'll have optical computers that operate at the speed of light, sending thousands of message streams down a single channel," says William Halal, professor emeritus at George Washington University and author of Technology's Promise: Expert Knowledge on the Coming Transformation of Society, to be published in April.
Most of tomorrow's CPU muscle will go toward making the user interface seamless and ubiquitous. Keyboards and mice may persist, but they'll become secondary to voice and gesture.
Gesture-based interfaces are catching on fast. The Nintendo Wii's gesture-based controllers are one example. And the iPhone's touch screen responds differently to finger taps than to swipes; Apple rolled similar technology into its MacBook Air's touchpad in January. GestureTek uses the input from camera phones to deliver gesture control.
Once freed from the keyboard, you'll be able to talk or gesture to your computer from virtually any display in your home. Or you may carry your pocket-size computer with you and beam the image to a nanocomputer embedded in the nearest wall-size screen. Paper-thin displays are inching closer to reality, too. Late last year, Sony released its $2500, 11-inch XEL-1 organic light-emitting diode (OLED) HDTVs; and at January's Consumer Electronics Show, the company presented a prototype 27-inch OLED HDTV.
Meanwhile, what you see on screen will look a lot more like real life than in present-day 3D virtual worlds, predicts Halal. "When you want to buy a book, instead of going to Amazon's home page, you'll be greeted by a virtual salesperson," Halal says. "The avatar will find the book you're looking for and conduct the transaction, just as you would with a real person."
Michael Liebhold, senior researcher at Palo Alto, California's Institute for the Future, says your PC may project a holograph, so you can manipulate files and objects with your hands.
Of course, you may not have a traditional computer at all. For many people, the PC of the future will be a dumb terminal, with storage, software, and processing power distributed across an Internet cloud. Amazon, Dell, and IBM have introduced cloud services for businesses; and Google and Zoho now serve up Web applications to consumers.
In years to come you'll enjoy ubiquitous Internet access, perhaps using part of today's TV spectrum. Such access will deliver your "desktop" from a portable device or Internet terminal. Instead of a user name and password, you'll provide a fingerprint, voice, or retinal scan. "Your identity becomes your access point to your files and applications," says Patrick Tucker of the World Future Society, in Bethesda, Maryland. "Your digital life will follow you around like a shadow."

The Sensex climbed 1.6 per cent on Tuesday, snapping a four-session slide, with banks and automakers leading the rise on expectations for an interest rate cut next month.
Fund managers are betting the economy would pick up pace in the coming fiscal year that starts in April after slowing sharply in the current year, traders said.
"Investors who felt left out in the rally since the beginning of the year are buying since the markets have fallen in the past few sessions," said Alex Mathews, who heads research at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services. The main 30-share BSE index closed up 1.64 per cent, or 285.37 points, at 17,731.12 with all but six of its components rising.
The benchmark, which fell 5.3 per cent over the previous four sessions, is up 14.7 per cent in 2012 on foreign fund buying of about $7.1 billion worth of shares. A sharp slowdown in infrastructure sector growth to 0.5 per cent in January from an upwardly revised annual growth of 4.6 per cent in the previous month, should pile pressure on the central bank to ease its tight policy, traders said.
The sector accounts for 37.9 per cent of the country's industrial output. Data due on Monday is expected to show the economy likely grew at its slowest pace in more than two years during the final months of 2011, a Reuters poll showed.
Gross domestic product in Asia's third-largest economy grew at an annual 6.4 per cent rate in the quarter to end-December, according to the poll of 26 economists.
Forecasts ranged from six to 7.3 per cent with a majority of them lying below consensus.
Mathews said this would further fuel expectations for a rate cut when the central bank reviews policy on March 15.
State Bank of India, the country's biggest lender, rose 5.1 per cent, ICICI Bank gained 2.6 per cent and HDFC Bank added 2.9 per cent.
Automakers, whose sales get a boost from cheaper credit, rallied. Tata Motors, whose products include trucks, buses, luxury brands Jaguar Land Rover and the Nano — the world's cheapest car — firmed 5.15 per cent while carmaker Maruti Suzuki rose one per cent.
Energy conglomerate Reliance Industries, which has the heaviest weight on the benchmark index, rose 1.93 per cent. Oil and Natural Gas Corp advanced 0.84 per cent and GAIL India added 0.7 per cent after a media report said the two state-run companies plan to offer $2 billion to acquire Africa-focused gas explorer Cove Energy.
Top software services exporter Tata Consultancy Services and No 2 Infosys shed 2.04 per cent and 0.38 per cent, respectively. The country's showpiece $76-billion software services industry gets most of its revenue from the United States and Europe.
The 50-share NSE index rose 1.79 per cent to 5,375.50. In the broader market, there were about six gainers for every loser on a volume of 863 million shares. Elsewhere, the MSCI's measure of Asian markets other than Japan was up 1.01 per cent.
Stocks that moved
GVK Power and Infrastructure rose 8.1 per cent to Rs 17.3 after a newspaper cited unnamed sources as saying the company is in talks with UK-based BG Group to sell stake in seven oil and gas blocks off the country's west coast. GVK denied any deal of a stake sale.
Hexaware Technologies Ltd closed up 6.6 per cent at Rs 114.30 after a news channel cited sources as saying the Tokyo-headquartered NEC Corp is in talks to buy out the software services provider.
JSW Steel Ltd rose 4.6 per cent to Rs 793.85 after the company's January crude steel production increased 39 per cent year-on-year.

No kidding. The TV rating for first-round coverage of the Masters was down 48% from last year.
That coverage, on ESPN, drew 2.1% of U.S. cable/satellite TV households.
So what's up? Networks generally offer lots of caveats if ratings are down, while they often suggest good ratings speak for themselves. So this isn't surprising: ESPN programmer John Wildhack calls last year's first-round Masters rating was an "anomaly" -- sort of freakishly high -- so you should make too much of comparing this year's rating to last year's.
Wildhack has a point. Last year's Masters was Tiger Woods' globally-hyped return to golf. And last year, ESPN's first-round coverage was able to include most of Woods' round while this year Woods was already on the 15th hole when ESPN's coverage began.
Still, Thursday's first-round Masters coverage was also down 25% from 2009.
Now, the bigger picture: If golf doesn't have the arm-pumping, red-wearing, Sunday-contending Tiger Woods anymore -- and he turns into just another good player who routinely, say, ties for 24th -- will golf become just another niche sport? Or, are you psyched to watch some of the so-called young guns who are emerging and also doing well at Augusta right now?

With her daughter Kristin Cast, she is the author of the House of Night novels, including Awakened, Burned and Hunted. Cast was born in the Midwest, and as a girl fell in love with mythology.

Kristin Cast has won awards for her poetry and journalism. She also lives in Oklahoma, where she attends college in Tulsa.
Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow
But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia's handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there's the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more or possibly less than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there's something strangely familiar about him
Will Neferet's true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox's humanity in time to protect him and everyone from his own fate? Find out what's destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.

Destined House of Night Series
Wonderful series! Characters are well defined and interesting. Since Oklahoma isn't that far away and I love Tulsa, it's really great to have the main setting in our "neighborhood." But the books are not limiting and the mythologies of multiple cultures come into play, including Native American culture.Read More

Product Description
WE 93 Pts - According to Wine Enthusiast - "This wine is quite an accomplishment in flavor and complexity given the vintage and the price. From high-altitude vineyards atop the Mayacamas, it delivers peppercorn, herb and fine, well-integrated tannins, with mellow oak. Graphite and cedar also figure into the mix, with a shock of black cherry and cassis weaved within. Drink now through 2019."
According to Robert Parker - "The opaque purple-colored 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Monument Ridge comes from elevations ranging from 500 to 2,400 feet. It offers up aromas of stones, sweet red and black currants, and a big rich attack followed by a touch of herbaceousness. The latter component kept my score from going higher. Composed of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, it was aged 18 months in one-third new French oak. An excellent Cabernet with moderately high tannins, it will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring, and should drink well over the following decade."
According to Stephen Tanzer - "Bright red-ruby. Dark aromas of cassis, licorice, menthol, tree bark and fresh herbs. Spicy, savory and juicy, showing enticing sweetness to its intense black fruit and licorice flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and slightly elevated acidity."
According to Antonio Galloni - "Savory herbs, raspberry jam, flowers, mint and spices all meld together in the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Monument Ridge. Dark, powerful and authoritative, this juicy, flavorful Cabernet impresses for its balance and overall class. There is plenty of depth in the dark fruit, yet I would prefer to drink the 2011 sooner rather than later." 14.5% ABV.

Heard at the ReStore: "It's a great bonding experience and a way to get to know each other" " I felt like I made a difference after Sarah (Habitat manager) explained how each little task really makes a difference. I also enjoyed the challenge of doing something outside my comfort zone for the benefit of others."
Before coming to law school, what kinds of service projects were you involved in?
Donating money or fundraising, Food bank drives,God's Pantrty
What did you learn about the organization you are working with today? Do you think you will be able to help out more in the future? "I learned how the volunteers are treated like employees and everyone wants to be there (even the young man participating in PTI)." "I think I'll be able to help out in the future. The employees and volunteers were thrilled to have us and were so kind to us."
What have you learned about some of your new classmates from this experience? Sarah Specter can lift heavy doors better than all the males that attended, including myself. Professor Black is not afraid to get dirty.
How do the law students help your organization?
Every little thing, no matter how mediocre it seems to be, makes a difference. Here, we are moving things in a way to present the products better. The better the presentation, the more are sold. We then use 96% of our profit to buy brand new materials to help people in need. For example, if they need a bathtub, or shingles, we buy it brand new and install it. You helped do that.
Every little difference counts. We focused on presenting the items in a way that makes people want to buy them here
Creighton Segars
1L Service Day helps law students understand the community that they have become a part of. Many students in my group are actually not from Columbia or even South Carolina so this is their first chance to meet members of the community that many will one day be serving. Before law school I was involved with organization such as Operation Christmas Child that packs shoeboxes with presents for underprivileged children and law school now offers me an opportunity to help in ways that were not possible before.
Sue Berkowitz
Without law students, there would be so much we wouldn't be able to do. Students help us with everything from drafting to researching and we would be unable to help as many people as we do without them. We always tell every student who comes in for service day that we always have opportunities for them to come back and get experience. The organization is involved in so many different issues that we always have work and offer a great place to gain experience.
Professor Dalzell
1L Service Project Day is very important because it gives these new law students the chance to realize that there is so much more to the legal profession then just getting a job at a large firm. It shows these students that there are many different organizations that make all kinds of impacts and I personally enjoy the experience of meeting members of the legal community and hearing about the differences that they make and I know these 1L's will feel the same.
looks like they did it all from making the boxes, shredding the files, moving the files and even sorting clothes!
Professor Amy Milligan described her favorite aspect of the Incoming Law Student Community Project as, "coming together as a community for the community." The afternoon spent at the Public Defender's office gave the new 1L's the opportunity to give back to the office. "The office does so much for the legal community. They have almost 6000 cases a year. It is special we can give back and do something for them." The students moved files, organized, and even helped with much needing shredding of documents. Matt Mandedille says, "it was my first time at the office. I learned we all sweat the same amount." The hot service day also allows students to get to know each other and the needs in Columbia. "The program allows students to meet their friends for the next three years. It also opens their eyes to the projects and needs they can get involved in with the city of Columbia," says Lisa Wilcox.
