Plymouth MN Real Estate
See Plymouth MN real estate listings by clicking here.
The 36-square-mile city of Plymouth, located 10 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis, is home to a population of 66,000. Residents enjoy convenient access to the surrounding metro area via several major highways and Plymouth Metrolink, the city´s own bus system.
Plymouth is a beautiful city, and goes to great lengths to preserve its serene backdrop of lakes, rolling hills, and wooded areas that cover much of the land. Several expanses of land are given special designation to maintain a harmonious balance of commercial, residential, and natural areas. The city´s elaborate trail system weaves these diverse spaces together, allowing residents to benefit from the best of both worlds.
The Plymouth MN real estate market is situated among the fastest growing communities in the Twin Cities, bolstered by its prime location, diverse real estate stock, and numerous major employers within the insurance, high-tech research, light manufacturing and computer-related industries.
Recreational, social and cultural opportunities abound, with a substantial offering of year-round classes, trips, concerts, adult and youth sports, and various other programs geared toward a wide variety of interests. City assets include the Hilde Performance Center, featuring an open-air stage for the Minnesota Orchestra and other performing arts, Millennium Garden in Plymouth Creek Park, more than 1,000 acres of parkland, 80 miles of trails, a community ice center, and Plymouth Creek Fieldhouse, with both indoor and outdoor playfields for fun during any season. Regardless of what your real estate needs are, you will admire my tenacity and resolve to find the best value and the home that best suits your needs.
Houses in Plymouth
The MLS normally has about 200-300 single family Plymouth homes for sale, so there is always a wide range of options. Older 1.5 story homes for about 200k will pop up occasionally on Quaker, Larch, and Fern Lane. There is always a good, solid selection of split entry homes built in the 1980s between 200-300k. Executive homes range upward of 2M, but it is still possible to find a brand new two story home for about 500k. Upper end new construction is being built by such notables as Hendel Homes, Latrell builders, Lennar, Swanson Homes Northwest Inc, Golden Homes Builders, Brian Carney, and more.
A quick glance at the Plymouth MLS will tell you that it is very easy to find an entry level townhome or condo here. There are usually dozens of low rise condos under 150k, manor homes, quads, and side by sides under 200k. Sunrise condos offer lake views , underground parking, pool, tennis courts, security buildings, and even have docks available! If it is trees that you want, try the Shenandoah addition for nice wooded yard areas. Lake Camelot Villas offer attached garages, private entries, and easy access to 494. The Uplands at Parkers offer stylish side by side living with patios, vaults, skylights, cul-de-sac location, and are very close to the Parkers Lake recreational trails. Homes in Wellington Park offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms, Wayzata schools, low fees, and a tolerant attitude toward pets. Cimmaron Ponds near Vicksburg and Highway 6 include twin homes with all one-level-living and plenty of trees and landscaping. Rockford Villas are also in the Wayzata school district and are within walking distance to schools and shopping. Conor Meadows Coach Homes are located in the heart of Plymouth, and have fireplaces, nine foot ceilings, and big loft areas. Luxury twinhomes on Seven Greens claim cherry cabs, granite, stone fireplaces, exercise rooms, wetbars, and almost 4000 square feet of living areas. Luxury twinhomes on Glacier Vistas offer lake views and are loaded with amenities. Townhomes comprise a significant portion of the Plymouth MN real estate market.
According to the Plymouth MLS data, it is virtually impossible to find vacant lakeshore real estate here. There are usually about a dozen or so good lakefront properties for sale at any given tiem. There may be some lake homes that would warrant a tear-down because the real value is in the lakefront. Give me a call at 612-296-0007 and I can help you find homes on Medicine Lake, Bass Lake, Schmidt Lake, Parkers, or Gleason Lake. Minnesota lakeshore real estate is always a good investment.

Computational Science Program
Computational science is the third branch of science. It is a marriage of the experimental and theoretical, combining modeling and programming to test scientific hypotheses. Techniques and skills in data analysis, algorithmic design and implementation, and mathematical modeling are fundamental in the discipline. Increasingly in modern scientific research, doing exploratory computational work prior to actual laboratory experimentation is common, both as a time- and money-saver.
In health-related areas, dealing successfully with massive amounts of data in different formats is a critical hurdle toward effective and efficient care. This major and minor are designed to couple well with all data-driven disciplines such as psychology, sociology, public health, politics, business and education.

CLEVELAND -- Pitcher Paul Byrd, whose admitted use of human growth hormone served as a backdrop to the end of Cleveland's season, had his $7.5 million club option for 2008 picked up by the Indians on Tuesday.
Before Game 7 the American League Championship Series in Boston, Byrd acknowledged taking HGH after the San Francisco Chronicle reported he spent nearly $25,000 on the banned drug and syringes from 2002-05.
The 36-year-old Byrd claims he took HGH for a medical condition and did so only under a doctor's supervision.
Byrd has not yet met with Major League Baseball to discuss his use of the performance-enhancing drug. He could face a possible suspension.
Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said the club weighed all factors before exercising the option without hesitation.
"Looking at his on-field contributions and the teammate he's
been in our clubhouse and the person he's been off the field in our
community the last two years, it was a decision we were very
comfortable with," Shapiro said. "It's safe to say we considered
very carefully and in a detailed fashion every component of the
The club also exercised its $4 million option on closer Joe Borowski, who led the AL with 45 saves last season, and a $1.5 million option on left-handed reliever Aaron Fultz.
Shapiro said he was unaware of Byrd's use of HGH until two days before Game 7. The newspaper reported Byrd had purchased HGH while pitching for the Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels.
On a conference call from the GM meetings in Orlando, Fla., Shapiro said he has not heard from baseball officials about Byrd and that he has not had any lengthy talks with the pitcher about his HGH use.
Byrd went 15-8 with a 4.59 ERA in 31 starts during the regular season. It was his highest win total since 2002, when he was with the Royals.
During the AL playoffs, Byrd beat New York in Game 4 as the Indians knocked out the Yankees. He also won Game 4 of the ALCS over the Red Sox, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland before sweeping the Colorado Rockies in the World Series.
But on the morning of Game 7, Byrd's past use of HGH became an issue that caused a pregame distraction and seemed to cloud his future in Cleveland.
Byrd held a news conference before the decisive game at Fenway Park, where he said he was taking HGH for a "pituitary tumor." He wouldn't elaborate on his condition and would not answer questions about whether he was still taking the drug.
He strongly denied hiding his use of HGH, banned by baseball in 2005. The newspaper reported Byrd made his final purchase of HGH a week before the ban began.
Byrd said baseball officials knew he had been taking the drug, which he said he often stored in clubhouse refrigerators.
Although his saves were rarely routine, Borowski got the job done for the Indians in 2007 -- his first season with the club. Cleveland entered spring training without a closer and signed Borowski, Keith Foulke and Roberto Hernandez in the offseason, hoping one would pan out.
After Foulke retired, Borowski was handed the job and ran with it. The 36-year-old journeyman became the first pitcher in history to lead the league in saves with an ERA over 5.00.
"I know it wasn't always pretty the way he got it done," Shapiro said. "But he got it done."
Borowski was confident the Indians would pick up his option. Now that he's had a year back in the AL, the 36-year-old, who spent 2006 with Florida, believes his numbers will improve next season.
"I had a couple outings that blew some of those [statistics] out of the water," he said. "I wish it was like golf and you could get a couple mulligans. I can get my ERA and [opponents] batting average lower. As long as my save total stays up there I'll be happy."
Fultz went 4-3 with a 2.92 ERA in 49 games. His role diminished when Rafael Perez came up from Triple-A Buffalo and became one of the league's dominant lefties. With Perez around, the 34-year-old Fultz could become a trade option this winter.

Posted by @ 11:10
[Scene: the engineering section of Pegasus, where main power is still offline, thanks to Ozymandias McCool's refusal to heed Merlin's warning about not trying to optimize the computer core while the computer was still in operation. Captain Korrioth has joined Merlin at the computer station which exploded in Ozy's face, and is attempting to assist Merlin in bringing the panel back online. Off to the side, a medic tends to Ozy, who has stirred and is now beginning to come around, though it appears he's suffered a concussion.
As we look in, the computer panel is not cooperating with either Korrioth or Merlin.]
MERLIN: Check the T37 junction circuit.
KORRIOTH (tricorder in hand): Confirmed…no, wait. Looks like a microfracture in the optical filament. See if you can bypass.
MERLIN: (toggles three switches, then hits a button) Okay, try that.
KORRIOTH: Better. I think we may be ready to re-engage systems. Give it a shot.
[Merlin rises and goes over to the dilithium chamber, flips a couple of switches, then hits the big switch on the breaker box. The ship lurches for about half a second, but otherwise remains dark.]
MERLIN: Damn! Dammit!!!
KORRIOTH: (several Klingon curses which can't really be repeated in mixed company)
MERLIN: That was supposed to at least restore main power! What the fuck is wrong with this ship?
[The slightly-ajar Engineering doors part even further, and in walks His Rudeness, who doesn't look terribly happy.
LSIK&T: Report!
KORRIOTH: Main power still down, Admrial. We believe we've successfully bypassed the blown junctions in the computer, but the ship still refuses to respond.
LSIK&T: Awright, which panel was it that blew up on you, Merlin?
MERLIN: (gulp) Right this way, m'Lord.
[Merlin guides Spats over to the spot where Ozy had been sitting. The admiral begins to examine the panel.]
LSIK&T: Hmmmmm. Burned out T37 junction…scorch marks around the M5 toggle…what are these three switches doing toggled on…?
[A look of realization has crossed Lord Spatula's visage – he's seen this before. He straightens, glances over at a still-groggy Ozy, then turns and faces Merlin with a very angry, accusatory glare.]
LSIK&T: I thought I gave you a direct order never to optimize this motherfucker while the ship was in motion?!
MERLIN (cringing visibly): Your Eminence, I tried to warn him, I…
[His Rudeness waves his hand towards Merlin. Merlin goes flying backwards, his head hitting the same bulkhead that KO'd Ozy, and falls to the deck, motionless.
LSIK&T (growling): I don't want to hear it. Mr. Korrioth, how far have repairs proceeded?
KORRIOTH: As Mr. Merlin told you, sir, we've bypassed all the circuits we believe were damaged, but the ship does not respond. We were beginning another diagnostic when you walked in.
LSIK&T: (smirking) Do you begin all your diagnostics with colorful Klingon invective, Kor?
KORRIOTH: (grin)
[Spats turns back to the blown panel, flips three switches, hits a button to the side, waits three seconds, then slams his fist into the bulkhead above the blown panel. Immediately the lights come back up and the ship's engines resume their normal hum. Korrioth stares at His Rudeness in disbelief.]
LSIK&T: Do a Level 2 diagnostic on the propulsion and tactical systesm and advise me as soon as you're done so we can get back underway.
KORRIOTH: Aye, sir.
LSIK&T: And have Kevorkian over there haul McCool's & Merlin's shit-for-brains carcasses to sickbay. And then once McCool's back on his feet, he's to spend 30 minutes in the Agony Booth having it drilled into his head that you don't fuck with the computer core while the ship's in flight.
KORRIOTH: Admiral, we don't have an Agony Booth.
LSIK&T: Then build one, you bumpy-headed dumbass! I'm sick & tired of my ship getting disabled because my engineers have all the sense of the fuckwits I have Rayegun rule over out in the Outer Rim, you hear? Where the fuck did McCool come from, anyway???
KORRIOTH: Uh…he was a conscript from the Outer Rim, sir.
LSIK&T: See? My point. Now get your ass in gear, bumpy!~
[Korrioth winces, then turns and leaves Engineering to do His Rudeness' bidding.]
Okay, Denizens, the Big Box is back up and running, so it's back to
downloading naked jpegs pirating '80s rock anthems reading the news and commenting thereupon.
Thatisall. Carry on.

Serves ya right Spats.
At least I had the intelligence and foresight NOT to conscript or appoint any officer-types from this neck of the galaxy!!!!
Mayhaps your recruitment section needs to spend some time in that Agony Booth as well.
I do know where you can get RELIABLE crew members from, but that intelligence will cost you SEVERAL pretty credits. Sorry, I stopped banking on word of mouth back right after Ronaldus Magnamus departed from office, so I'll have to pull a "Mudd" on ya Spats.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS
Initial Review: 8,000 miles on tires
November 20, 2012
I Bought the Extreme DWS to replace my P-Zero's. Saw a huge improvement in handling and traction and very low road noise. These tires have no problem in heavy rain. I recently tested them on an empty highway and was blown away by how much grip they had even in a rainstorm. They were definitely worth the investment.
I have not tested them in the snow yet but from all the positive reviews I have high expectations.

I liked this picture, even I didn't think it was great. Well, I'm glad to be the first person to review it! It's nice that you did this on a livestream. Of course, I'm not that familiar with your work. I'm glad people like me notice it. I guess this goblin is just meant to be pale with a bit of pink in him.
The colors are very light here. I like the little X on his forehead. Well, I don't know much about goblin anatomy. He certainly looks like one. His ear's probably the feature that stands out the most.

Life's Operating Manual
with the Fear and Truth Dialogues
HayHouse.com: 13.46 USD $13.46
List Price: $14.95 (Save 10%)
Availability: Usually ships within 2 to 3 business days
Publisher: Hay House Inc

Just about everything today comes with an operating manual—from your computer to your car, from your cell phone to your iPad. Is it possible that Life comes with an operating manual as well? That's the simple but powerful premise of Tom Shadyac's inspiring and provocative first book. Written as a series of essays and dialogues, we are invited into a conversation that is both challenging and empowering. The question now is, can we discern what is written inside this operating manual and garner the courage to live in accordance with its precepts?
It wasn't long before we landed near the hikers. Jim got out and, with gas can in hand, walked toward the unsuspecting group. He then held the red can high and in Ace Ventura's voice announced, "Hi, I'm Jim Carrey! I heard you needed some gas!" I'll never forget those 20 hikers' mouths opening wide in utter disbelief. Jim set the can down, then added: "Tom Cruise will be by later with some trail mix!"
As I write this, I feel a bit like I'm Jim and you, perhaps, are the unsuspecting hikers: I'm the last person you might expect to deliver a message about fixing a world gone wrong. I am, after all, in the eyes of that world, just a comedy director—Ace Ventura; The Nutty Professor; Liar, Liar; Patch Adams; Bruce Almighty; Evan Almighty—which makes me an unlikely source for the content of this book. So unlikely, it took a near-death experience to give me the courage to share my story, first in the documentary I AM and now here.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Let's straighten out financial TV about hyping Friday's closes for the Dow industrials and S&P 500 as new all-time highs. These indices did not end the week at new all-time highs! Three of the five major averages remain below their May 20/May 22 all-time highs at 15,542.40 Dow industrials, 1687.18 S&P 500 and 6568.41 Dow transports.I am not saying that new all-time highs are out of the question.I have been saying that if you cannot confirm cycle highs, then new highs are likely. To confirm market highs, all five major averages need to have negative weekly chart profiles, and that has not happened. Weekly momentum (12x3x3 weekly slow stochastic) readings are now rising again with weekly closes well above the five-week modified moving averages at 15,101 Dow industrials, 1630.2 S&P 500, 3451 Nasdaq, 6290 Dow transports and 990.29 Russell 2000. This week's value levels are 14,981 Dow industrials, 1608.4 S&P 500, 3445 Nasdaq, 6070 Dow transports and 994.17 Russell 2000 with monthly pivots at 15,437 Dow industrials, 1669.0 S&P 500, 3510 Nasdaq and 1030.75 Russell 2000 and a monthly risky level at 6758 on Dow Transports. My quarterly value levels are 14,288 Dow industrials, 1525.6 S&P 500, 3284 Nasdaq, 5348 Dow Transports and 863.05 Russell 2000. My annual value levels are 12.696 Dow industrials, 1348.3 S&P 500, 2806 Nasdaq, 5469 Dow transports and 809.54 Russell 2000. My semiannual risky levels are 16,490 Dow industrials, 1743.5 S&P 500, 3759 Nasdaq, 7104 Dow transports and 1089.42 Russell 2000. New all-time highs are thus feasible as my semiannual risky levels are 16,490 Dow industrials, 1743.5 S&P 500, 3759 Nasdaq, 7104 Dow transports, and 1089.42 Russell 2000. Stock market fundamentals do not justify sustaining new highs, as the ValuEngine valuation warning continues to intensify. We now show that 75.3% of all stocks are overvalued with 41.7% overvalued by 20% or more. We also show that 15 of 16 sectors are overvalued, 13 by double-digit percentages.

Some of the first settlers of what would become the county were English Quakers, who settled along the Haw and Deep River. Eno Rivers. The county was formed in 1779 from Guilford County. It was named for Peyton Randolph, first president of the Continental Congress.
County formation
The Legislature of 1779, then sitting at Halifax, passed an act providing for the formation of a new county out of Guilford and Rowan, to be called Randolph. Notice having been given, the citizens met accordingly on Monday, the 8th day of March, 1779. Proclamation being made, the act of Assembly was read, wherein, William Cole, John Collin, Joseph Hinds, George Cortner, John Arnold, William Millikan, John Hinds, Jacob Shepherd, Richardson Owen, Windsor Pearce, William Bell, William Merrill, John Lowe, Enoch Davis and James Hunter, were nominated Justices for holding the courts in said county. The oath of allegiance and the oath of office was administered by William Cole, Esq., whereupon they took their seats and organized and held the first court in Randolph county by electing William Bell, Sheriff, William Millikan, Register of Deeds, and Absalom Tatum, Clerk.
Randolph County was the original location of what became Duke University.
The county is home to one of the last remaining covered bridges in the state. The Pisgah Covered Bridge, in Union Township, is in the southwestern part of the county and was destroyed by a flood in 2003, but has been completely restored and is still standing.
In 1911, a new county called Piedmont County was proposed, with High Point as its county seat, to be created from Guilford, Davidson and Randolph Counties. Many people appeared at the Guilford County courthouse to oppose the plan, vowing to go to the state legislature to protest. The state legislature voted down the plan in February 1911.

I'm a big del.icio.us user, but I learned something about them yesterday I didn't know. During a conversation with Andre Charland, he mentioned that del.icio.us is using Flash to play MP3s. Check out my podcast tag to see what I mean. Whenever you tag an MP3, a little play arrow appears to the left of the title. Click it, and a piece of Flash is dynamically loaded to play the MP3.

Some Characteristics of Modernism in Literature
Modernist writers proclaimed a new "subject matter" for literature and they felt that their new way of looking at life required a new form, a new way of writing. Writers of this period tend to pursue more experimental and usually more highly individualistic forms of writing. The sense of a changing world was stimulated by radical new developments, such as:
the replacement of a belief in absolute, knowable truth with a sense of relative, provisional truths (Einstein's first book on relativity 1905);an awareness of "reality" as a constructed fiction
a focus on the unconscious as an important source of motivation (Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams 1900)
a turning away from teleological ways of thinking about time to a sense of time as discontinuous, overlapping, non-chronological in the way we experience it; a shift from linear time to "moment time"
less emphasis on art's reflection of external reality and a greater emphasis
on art's reflection of the perceiving mind; [compare developments in painting:
moving from "representational" Victorian painting (painting that
represents identifiable, often narrative, scenes in external reality) through
Impressionism (e.g. Whistler; the attempt to paint the quality of the sensations
stimulated by the external scene) to Post-Impressionism (e.g. Matisse; painting
the "painterly" scene, the pure elements of colour and form--perhaps
as a way of painting the perceiving mind, the aesthetic consciousness]
a focus on epistemological concerns (how do we know what we know?) and linguistic concerns (how is the way we think inseparable from the forms in which we think?); a sense of the break-down of a shared linguistic community; a reaction against the dominance of rational, logical, "patriarchal" discourse and its monopoly of power
character: a disappearance of character summary, of discrete
well-demarcated characters as in Dickens; the representation of the self as
diverse, contradictory, ambiguous, multiple
plot: scepticism about linear plots with sudden climactic turning points and clear resolutions; the use instead of discontinuous fragments, "moment time," a-chronological leaps in time, contrapuntal multiple plots, open unresolved endings
style: "stream of consciousness"--tracing non-linear thought processes, moving by the "logic of association" or the "logic of the unconscious"; imagistic rather than logical connections
point of view (or focalization): a rejection of the single, authoritative, omniscient point of view for a narrative focalized instead through the consciousness of one character whose point of view is limited--or through several characters who establish relative, multiple points of view--or through several simultaneously-held positions maintained by the one character

1938 Central American and Caribbean Games
The 1938 Central American and Caribbean Games were the 4th Central American Games. They were held from February 11 through February 23, 1938 in Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá.
Cuba won its fourth straight title, with a 5-1 record. Agapito Mayor took the headlines with a 4-0 record, the only pitcher in the history of the event to post such a record. Natilla Jimenez got Cuba's other win, a shutout over El Salvador in which Jimenez also homered.
Panama won Silver with a 4-2 performance; they had the top contact hitter (Eduardo Lanuza, .556) and top home run threat (Osvaldo Arleuwite, 2) in their second straight Silver Medal performance.
Nicaragua (4-2) won Bronze, followed by Puerto Rico (4-2), the only team to beat Cuba this year. Mexico was 3-3 to finish 5th. Venezuela (1-5) was 6th, followed by last-place El Salvador (0-6).

text: I just lost my one rooster and now Stud has a sour crop. Diablo's crop was hard when he died but Stud's is squishy. The smell is horrible. I have read so many things about how to help with a sour crop and some things contradict eachother. I tried to get him to vomit, which he did but then he started choking over and over again. I believe this treatment is very dangerous due to the possiblity of asperation. I will feel awful if some of the fluid went into his lungs and he was so upset when I turned him downward. I read about cutting into the crop and draining it. I don't think so. I wouldn't have the nerve. Stud is 5 1/2 and a bantum. He just started pooping runny yellow poop. Hardly any solid at all. Diablo had the same thing happen with his poop. Is there anything I can do? His crop in not impacted but sour. I don't know if he has eaten anything that would have blocked the crop. He is free range but spends most of his time on the patio. He was eating real good until about 2 days ago. He will eat bugs but not feed. There is grit available if he wants it. He is my only rooster now and if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a rare disorder characterized by the rapid accumulation of eosinophils in the lungs (pulmonary eosinophilia). Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell and are part of the immune system. They are usually produced in response to allergens, inflammation or infection (especially parasitic ones) and are particularly active in the respiratory tract. Common symptoms associated with AEP include progressive shortness of breath (dyspnea) of rapid onset and possibly acute respiratory failure, cough, fatigue, night sweats, fever, and unintended weight loss. The exact cause of the disorder is unknown (idiopathic) in many cases, however recent change in tobacco smoking habits and drug intake can trigger the disease. Outcome is favorable with corticosteroids, without relapse.
AEP was first described as a distinct entity in the medical literature in 1989. AEP is classified as a form of eosinophilic lung disease, a large group of interstitial lung diseases. AEP is different from chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), which is marked by slower progression, lack of progression to acute respiratory failure, frequent relapses and is often associated with asthma. For more information on CEP, choose "chronic eosinophilic pneumonia" as your search term in the NORD Rare Disease Database.

Like a new immigrant struggling for acceptance, pinot noir faced dirty looks and derisive whispers when the grape arrived on the southern tip of New Zealand in the mid-1980s. John Wallace, the winemaker at Chard Farm, a top estate in Central Otago, recalls one early jab. "I overheard someone in a bar saying, 'Chard Farm is a bloody good waste of merino land.'"
The reference was to merino sheep, a breed prized by Italian tailors and makers of high-end athletic wear for its soft, ultrafine wool. For decades, merino farming was the lifeblood of this spectacular mountain terrain because of the region's arid, wool-enhancing climate. Visitors can still see postcard views of flocks grazing on verdant slopes, especially at shearing time when their cartoon-like overgrown exteriors can make them seem like puff balls with faces. But over the past 25 years, many slopes have been turned over to produce a new and more lucrative commodity - wine for people who can afford merino suits.
In just a generation, New Zealand has emerged as a new Eden for pinot noir, the signature red grape of Burgundy and the rapture of wine geeks everywhere. The variety can produce glorious juice, usually lean and lightly tinted yet with eye-opening complexity. In the best renditions, an unmistakable essence of fresh berries comes laced with earthy notes of beetroot and mineral. They are consummate and versatile reds for food.
But the vines tend to travel poorly, like Texans complaining about hotel amenities in Paris. With few exceptions, notably cool pockets in California and Oregon, few regions outside Burgundy have managed to earn serious vineyard cred with this fragile, thin-skinned grape.
I used to be one of those Burgundy-or-bust bores, even though my budget crashed every time I'd splurge $50 or more to land a transcendent one. The more I taste Central Otago pinot noir, though, the more I come to believe that New Zealand is the place this grape was destined to unpack its suitcase.
That's the reason I came to the southernmost wine region on the planet, and the reason I paid a visit to Chard Farm, among other boutique estates. Perched arrestingly above a steep gorge next to the spindly old Kawarau Bridge - home to the world's first commercial bungee-jumping operation - the winery at first seems like it could do brisk business selling hearty red in Dixie Cups to insane bridge acrobats in need of liquid courage. But that's not the purpose of fine pinot noir, a grape that turns farming into an extreme sport.
In contrast to the moist, maritime climate that prevails in much of New Zealand, Central Otago's inland slopes and basins sit in the dry rain shadow of the Southern Alps. Clear skies prevail, which ensures full ripening most years, an asset Burgundy can only dream of. "Central Otago pinot has fruit to burn," Mr. Wallace said of the wines' resulting intensity.
Just as vital where pinot is concerned, growing seasons are marked by sharp daily swings in temperature known as diurnal shifts, with warm days and cool nights. This is high ground that's as far south as Niagara is north, after all, and pinot loves sweater weather when the moon comes up, the better to preserve acidity and give the wines lift and balance. Well-drained alluvial soils also produce a naturally low yield of grapes per vine, concentrating flavours in the bunches.
Chard Farm's Mata-Au Pinot Noir 2009 (score: 92), a $45 gem likely to arrive in small quantities in Canada, was a highlight of numerous Central Otago pinots I tasted. Jammy and soft, with supple tannins, it culminates with vibrant acidity. Another highlight was Quartz Reef Bendigo Estate Pinot Noir 2008 (score: 93), from one of New Zealand's greatest pinot and sparkling-wine estates. It's pricey at about $65 in Canada when it eventually becomes available in select, big-city markets, but it oozes succulent dark-fruit flavour, firmed up by a spine of astringent tannins and acid.
Available now in Ontario are the gently spicy Carrick Pinot Noir 2007 (score: 92, $34.95) and sour-cherry-like Amisfield Pinot Noir 2008 (score: 90, $44.95). Though difficult to find - as with virtually all Central Otago wines - other names to seek include Felton Road, Gibbston Highgate, Mt. Difficulty and Two Paddocks, the last owned by actor Sam Neill.
A question hovers over every region that dares to produce good pinot noir: Can the stuff age like great Burgundy? If the 2002 Felton Road Block 3 pinot I sampled from the cellar of proprietor Nigel Greening is an indication, the answer is yes. Seductively evolved, with soft tannins and notes of cherry and bacon, it fills the mouth with good weight and still seems fresh. "Our wines have aged quite well," Mr. Greening said proudly. "We haven't killed one yet."
Though a few of the lower-priced wines left me less impressed, the general quality of Central Otago reds is all the more remarkable considering the relative youth of the vines. Virtually all the region's quality pinot vines, as opposed to the workhorse clones initially introduced for quantity over flavour, are no more than a dozen years old. Pinot vines tend to produce their best fruit when they're between 25 and 45 years old, as the plants settle into middle age and become more parsimonious, yielding fewer but more flavourful berries. "Come here in 20 years' time," Chard Farm owner Robert Hay urged.
I think I'll be returning sooner than that.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review athletes of the week: Canon-McMillan's James Hathaway, Mars' Karli Paracca
James Hathaway
School: Canon-McMillan
Year: Senior
Sport: Soccer
Claim to fame: Hathaway was stellar in net for the Big Macs in their 1-0 victory over Upper St. Clair in the WPIAL Class AAA championship on Saturday. Hathaway made a game-saving stop on Troye Kiernan's penalty kick eight minutes into the game. Hathaway was a key factor in Canon-McMillan's run to its first WPIAL soccer title, allowing just one goal in playoff wins against Central Catholic, Franklin Regional, Peters Township and Upper St. Clair.
How did it feel to help Canon-McMillan win its first WPIAL title?
It feels great. I knew we would have a good team this year. When we were having three-a-days, we said we really have a chance to go out and do it this year.
Does making a save on a penalty kick require luck, skill or some film study?
It is definitely a little bit of luck. But, honestly, I just waited for him to hit it, then I reacted. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on it.
Was that the biggest save you've ever made?
I would definitely put it top five. Toward the end of the first half, they had a corner kick and one of their players got free and headed it. I adjusted to my right and made the save.
Have you decided where you'll attend college?
No, I haven't. Right now, my top choices would be Allegheny, Washington & Jefferson and Baldwin-Wallace. Those three coaches have expressed the most interest in me so far.
Do you have a major in mind?
I'm leaning toward engineering.
Karli Paracca
School: Mars
Year: Junior
Sport: Soccer
Claim to fame: Paracca led the Planets with 34 goals this season, but none was more important than her tying goal in the 25th minute as Mars won its third consecutive WPIAL title with a 2-1 win over Moon on Saturday. A three-year starter, Paracca has been an integral part of three WPIAL title teams.
What did it mean to win your third WPIAL title?
It's such a great feeling. It means everything to us. We couldn't have done it without each other. The defense did a great job. The forwards did great. We just connected so well as a team.
What are the chances of a four-peat?
I think it's definitely possible, especially with our team. We practice so hard and give it our all. I think it's totally possible, and it'd be amazing if we did it.
What will you have to do to return to the title game?
I think we'll have to work a little bit harder. We'll have to overcome some of the weaknesses we saw this year and learn what we did wrong. We're losing some great players on defense too, so we'll have to work on our defense.
Do you play any other sports besides soccer?
I used to do track, but I didn't run last year. I'm going to run this year, though.
Are you on any travel soccer teams?
I play for Elite PTA Select and Northern Steel Cup. It's so much fun. There are so many great players and we get to travel a lot.

"Home on the Range" animator Michael D'Isa-Hogan is making his directorial debut in "Hoodwinked 2: Hood Vs. Evil", an animated sequel to 2006's "Hoodwinked."
Seems the imaginative update of "Little Red Hiding Hood" fairytale is about to have the second chapter. Variety has revealed that Michael D'Isa-Hogan has come onboard to direct "Hoodwinked 2: Hood Vs. Evil", a sequel to the 2006 CG animated "Hoodwinked."
A directorial debut of D'Isa-Hogan, who previously served as an animator to Disney's "Home on the Range", the project has already had Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech all returned to pen the script. Meanwhile, Maurice Kanbar and David K. Lovegren will both produce for Blue Yonder Films and Kanbar Entertainment with The Weinstein Company distributing.
The first installment of the series, released widely on January 13, 2006, is the re-telling of the classic fable revolving around Chief Grizzly and Detective Bill Stork who investigate a domestic disturbance at Granny's cottage that involves the Red Riding Hood, a sarcastic wolf, and an oafish Woodsman. It fared quite well on the box office, grossing around $51 million domestically and $109 million worldwide.

Silver Market Update
Originally published June 5th, 2008.
The positive implications of silver's mid-May breakout from a pronounced bullish Falling Wedge downtrend channel have by no means been invalidated by the subsequent rather savage reaction that has got a lot of traders fooled into "thinking grizzly". In the 1st place a post breakout reaction back to test support at the top of the downtrend channel is quite normal, and secondly the reaction has brought the price back down again to the zone of strong support shown on our 1-year chart, which is now being bolstered by the 200-day moving average rising into it. It is thus highly unlikely that silver will drop much further from here - on the contrary, everything is now in place for a major uptrend to develop soon, as is the case with gold. Due to the strong convergence of the boundaries of its recent downtrend channel, silver looks set to outperform gold on the next uptrend, not that gold looks weak here.
Despite remaining within the confines of its Falling Wedge downtrend channel until mid-May, silver has actually been basing since immediately after its mid-March plunge, and can be seen to have been trading in a rectangular range bounded by the support and resistance shown since that time. With the price now near the bottom of the range, silver is thought to be at an excellent entry point here, as it should soon break above its 50-day moving average, a development that should quickly lead to a very favourable price and moving average alignment, with the price above a rising 50-day, which is above a rising 200-day, a circumstance which typically exists at the start of a major uptrend.

Govt compromised India's security: VK Singh
Former army chief General VK Singh on Thursday accused the government of compromising national security by leaking a report on the functioning of a covert unit set up by him and demanded those responsible be charged under the Official Secrets Act.delhi Updated: Sep 27, 2013 08:43 IST
Former army chief General VK Singh on Thursday accused the government of compromising national security by leaking a report on the functioning of a covert unit set up by him and demanded those responsible be charged under the Official Secrets Act.
Singh's comments came a day after the government said it would investigate the findings of the army report on the now-disbanded technical support division (TSD), as well as his claims that the force had routinely paid off politicians in Jammu and Kashmir."India's capabilities have been affected because of the leak…if you reveal too much, your assets will be killed" he said during a freewheeling conversation with editors at HT.
On the government's charge that Singh's statements had caused "enormous damage" to India's Kashmir policy, he said, "I can go on oath and say what good work has been done (by the TSD) for Kashmir's grass-roots democracy. These angles are wrong."
Singh said he would be the last person to do anything that could be inimical to the country's interests.
He made it clear that the TSD had only implemented the mandate given to it by the defence minister, refusing to elaborate on the tasks assigned to the covert unit.
"Everything cannot be revealed…let's leave it at that," he said.
Asked to comment on why was a covert unit funding stability projects in the conflict-torn state, Singh said anything with a "sarkaari" tag was viewed with suspicion.
"Same goes for sadbhavna or goodwill projects undertaken by the army. If you want work to be done it has to be done covertly," he said, stressing that politicians were not bribed.
He said the TSD had been set up to ensure that things were alright. "It is a capability…being able to pack a bigger punch."
Comparing the leaked report on TSD to his letter to the PM on gaps in India's military capabilities finding its way into the public domain, Singh said, "If our neighbours want to finger us, they know what we are lacking."
An army probe has revealed that the TSD, set up by Singh in May 2010, had allegedly misused secret funds to destabilise the Omar Abdullah government in J&K.
The TSD, controlled directly by VK Singh, had faced allegations of listening in to mobile phone conversations of politicians and bureaucrats at a time when the former chief's age row was at its peak.

Rock Stars Who Act: Jack White, Henry Rollins, Bob Dylan + More
It's not uncommon to find actors who have turned into rock stars. Turn on your TV and you'll probably run across She & Him's Zooey Deschanel on 'New Girl.' Head out to rent a movie and you just might decide to pick up 'Requiem for a Dream,' starring 30 Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto. Johnny Depp, Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Bruce Willis … they're all actors who rock.
But how often do rock stars turn the tables and decide to act? It actually happens much more frequently than you might think.
From Jack White's portrayal of a mandolin player in 'Cold Mountain' to Henry Rollins' terrifying white supremacist character in the second season of 'Sons of Anarchy' — and even Dave Grohl as the Devil in Tenacious D's 'The Pick of Destiny' — click through the gallery above to check out some our favorite Rock Stars Who Act!

A CADET from Malvern College has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Duke of Westminster competition.
18 year-old Corporal Amy Elias of Malvern College CCF is among nine young people to take part in a three week adventure in South Africa.
The overall winner of the CVQO Duke of Westminster Award will be announced at the awards lunch at the House of Lords on Thursday, June 26.
The regional finalists were handpicked from over 400 initial cadet nominees and the number of regional finalists competing increased from 21 to 24 this year, making the challenge to secure a sought-after place in the final nine even greater.
The finalists took part in a challenging four-day selection event in the Quantock Hills, Somerset which tested their communication, teamwork and leadership skills.
Tasks included attempting to balance each group on a giant see-saw through to creating an evacuation plan from a country facing a hostile invasion and racing to completing a gun-run challenge.
The cadets earning a CVQO-led Level 3 qualification in Leadership from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) in the process.
Amy and the other eight national finalists will undertake environmental and social projects during the trip to South Africa.
Amy said: "I've had such a great time meeting everyone.
"I have always enjoyed exploring so getting to South Africa would be an amazing opportunity".
Guy Horridge, CVQO Chief Executive, said: "This year's selection event has been the closest run contest so far, with some excellent cadets making it through to the final 24 in Somerset.
"We are confident that the lucky nine will have a fantastic experience in South Africa and wish them the very best of luck with the expedition."

When Marchesa started in 2004, Georgina Chapman says, she and Keren Craig had nothing really to sell and definitely no business model. They did have an invite to a "smart party," however, and wore their own designs. Chapman's backless sari dress caught the eye of Isabella Blow, who asked if she could borrow the dress for Paris Fashion Week. Blow also is the one who told Chapman and Craig to focus on eveningwear.

The 'silent' wine drinkers unaware of future trouble
9:59am Saturday 16th February 2013
9:59am Saturday 16th February 2013
AS more women are diagnosed with alcohol-related health problems, a Bolton GP has looked back at changes to drinking patterns over the last 50 years.
Dr Stephen Liversedge, a GP at the surgery in Darwen Road, Bromley Cross, said alcoholrelated illnesses used to be rare, but are now almost the norm.
He blamed the increase on a change in drinking habits over the past 50 years and said consuming alcohol at home and drinking wine had contributed to a rise in related health problems.
Dr Liversedge, aged 63, compared the start of his career with that of Heaton GP, Dr Tara Breslin, aged 29, and said when he started practising in the 1970s, he only saw a handful of alcohol-related cases.
But Dr Breslin said health issues relating to alcohol had always been part of her everyday workload.
The pair want to encourage people to limit the amount they are drinking at home and say large numbers of affluent people are consuming several glasses of wine at home after work and may be unaware that they are drinking double or triple the recommended daily intake.
They want people to have alcohol-free days and cut the number of units they are drinking each week.
Dr Liversedge said: "Back in the 1950s, drinking at home was a rare event. Men went to pubs, but there were stringent licensing laws with pubs and offlicences and you couldn't buy alcohol from supermarkets.
"A big change was people, especially women, drinking at home."
Dr Breslin added: "We find people are going home and having a glass of wine and are doing that regularly and don't see it is being harmful to their health. They are never intoxicated and they are drinking with food.
"People associate too much alcohol with binge drinking but it is the silent group who are at home and who just don't see it because they are at home."

geocities revisited
social networking isn't a new idea. in fact, it's the very idea that sparked the creation of the web itself. when he dreamed up the world wide web, tim berners-lee envisioned a tool that would give a voice to the common man. the internet would allow anyone to exchange information with anyone else around the world. as he wrote in his memoir, weaving the web, it would engender "the decentralized, organic growth of ideas, technology, and society."
unfortunately, as the web rose to prominence in the mid-1990s, the hardware and software couldn't support this original vision. the average joe didn't have enough bandwidth over dial-up to communicate easily with the web at large. without some serious computer know-howor some serious cashthe best you could do was build a personal page on a clunky online service like geocities. geocities pages were woefully static and almost painfully unattractivenot to mention hard to find. they didn't really connect one person with another.
thanks to broadband, sites like myspace finally fulfill the web's original promise. it's geocities on steroidsa better way of creating a personal web page and serving it up to the world, complete with photos, video, music, and more. "the big difference is that broadband penetration has tripled in this country," says randy browning, who oversees social-networking research for the consulting arm of pricewaterhousecoopers. "with geocities, it was nothing but blah content. now you get the full multimedia experience." flickr and, particularly, youtube simply wouldn't be possible over dial-up.

I have been suffering from migraine headaches for as long as I can remember. I just recently had my second appointment with a newly referred neurologist. She prescribed for me the preventive medication Topamax (topiramate), which has many adverse side effects. My issue with this is that she hasn't taken the time to get to know me, or even listen to what I believe triggers my headaches. She doesn't seem interested in what sort of medications I've been using and at what rate. My headaches are usually accompanied by a sore, stiff neck, so I take Excedrin (acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine) and Advil (ibuprofen) just about every day. I am concerned with the side effects with the Topamax (hair loss, confusion, speech). What should be my next move?
It seems to me that you should see another neurologist, one who takes a complete headache history and communicates effectively. It is important for the neurologist to know all of your prescription and over-the-counter medications, since one (or more) may be triggering headaches. Knowledge of your headache triggers is also important, in order for you and the neurologist to collaborate in the treatment plan.
Topamax is a very safe medication. All medications have potential side effects. If a neurologist prescribes a medication, he or she should provide pertinent information (verbal or written) that explains the pros and cons of the medication so the patient can decide whether to take it.

Well, I guess I wouldn't be "The Domestic Rebel" if I didn't ever do crafty things… right? Maybe not. Maybe. Whatever.
Crafty or not, I made Christmas wreaths! I'm kinda sorta obsessed with making them.
I made my first wreath in 2008 and got hooked. Problem was I had no one else to make wreaths for after I made a wreath for a family friend, my grandma, my grandpa, and my mom.
But the itch couldn't be left alone, so I made two more.
Each year, I post the wreaths on Facebook and get lots of responses from fellow friends–questions about the mechanics of making their own wreath, and compliments on how awesome they look.
But because the questions keep coming, and because Christmas is coming, I figured it was time to do a Wreath 101 Tutorial for anyone who's been bitten by the crafty bug, and anyone who wants to make a beautiful wreath from scratch that trumps any store-bought wreath any day. The best part is that these wreaths are completely versatile-you can customize them any way you like, with any colors you like. Your imagination is your only limit! And at around $30-50 (depending on materials, etc) these wreaths will make an amazing, one-of-a-kind gift for Christmas, or will be a beautiful display in your own home. Simple!
So, let's get started!
You'll need:
1 medium-size/standard-size wreath (in my opinion, the perfect size, but if you'd prefer to go smaller or larger, budget your picks)
About 18-20 picks in assorted colors** (I like choosing a variety of types, like acorns, flowers, and bell baubles, but I've seen gorgeous feathers, beads, birds, leaves, etc)
One large bow, complementing the colors of your wreath
One large flower, in one color of your wreath (if desired)
Wreath hook
A hot glue gun, plus glue sticks
Small wire cutters
Patience & creativity!
**When choosing picks, choose 3 colors: 2 main colors, and 1 complementary color. It doesn't matter if the colors "match", but make sure you keep it streamlined. For this wreath, I chose a rich purple and a hot pink as the main colors, and gold as the complementary color. You could also do hot pink and lime green with silver; rich purple and emerald with gold; gold and maroon with bronze; or blue and silver with light green.
First, line your work space with newspaper to catch the glitter and hot glue strands that inevitably fall and get everywhere. I made my wreath, as shown, in the kitchen. I like doing it here because I can open my cabinet door and hang my wreath from a wreath hook to assemble it standing up. I find this is easier than laying the wreath down, as when it's hanging it's easier to see it as you normally would. Also, you'll need to fluff your wreath out! Simply pick at the pine fronds until it looks voluminous and not flat.
Then, spread out your picks, flowers and bows.
Unwrap any packaging/remove tags if needed. If you'd like, begin to trim your picks now. I like leaving about 1-2″ of the stem and trim away the rest. If you don't trim it, the stem will hang awkwardly out of the back.
My only REAL advice is to PLAY AROUND FIRST! Do not hot glue anything until you truly love the placement. When the picks are trimmed, it's easier to place them around to find a pattern you like. I like nestling my picks into the wreath to get placement ideas before I commit.
My personal preference is trimming my large flower (I like poinsettias) and placing it on the top left side of the wreath. I also prefer putting the bow on the bottom center; this ensures the stems of the bow don't get in the way of the wreath.
Then, begin your placement and hot glue it when you love it. I like using larger picks to nestle around the larger pieces, like so:
The gold bell bauble pick and the purple acorn are secured with hot glue (top left, flanking the poinsettia) But I'm messing with placement here (as shown with the large purple ornament and gold flower)
When you're hot gluing, make sure you coat the bottom of the pick evenly with hot glue–and make sure your glue is actually hot! Then, once you've figured out your placement, gently nestle the pick into its place, holding it for about 15 seconds to hold. Work quickly so the glue doesn't dry up.
I love that the picks are so glitzy!
In general, I like grouping my picks in colors. It makes the wreath ornamentation look fuller, and spices it up. I like using the colors sparingly throughout the wreath (e.g., a cluster of each color here, a cluster of each color there, but no two same colors together), and I like to frame things (a large ornament in the top right and a large ornament in the bottom left). It keeps the eye looking over the entire wreath–a true visual treat!
Some more advice about buying picks: Look for picks in varying shapes as well. I like mixing two large ornaments with a couple 3-packs of smaller ornaments. Smaller ones are easier to cluster by color; larger ones work as larger pieces. If you buy all large picks (bell baubles, large ornaments, large flowers, etc) it'll easily look cluttered. Similarly, if you buy all smaller picks (small flowers, small ornaments, etc) it will look sparse. Mix up shapes and sizes for the best look.
Once you've found your perfect placements and glued them in, you're done!
You're done! (NOTE: I ended up buying one more small hot pink flower to place on the right middle by the purple acorn and small gold ball; and another purple acorn to place on the left middle, just behind the small gold ball, next to the poinsettia. Amendments are not shown in this picture).
Because I crave routine in life, I like making my wreaths with the same pattern (generally). The colors in this one are some of my favorites, but I have also made these over the years, starting with the most recent one:
And this Mardi-Gras-ish one for my grandma, circa 2008:
I used two blue poinsettias here, plus a bow. Told you, I like routine.
And this gorgeous, exceptionally-fall-looking number:
Kinda makes you want to eat those pears, even if they are covered in glittery beads.
And this one, for my grandpa. While I'm not a huge fan of the feather in retrospect, I still love the colors.
Perfectly winter wonderland (and a dirty dish towel–such is life).
And one of my favorites, my mom's wreath, which I made last year:
Hot pink, bright purple, and silver. Doesn't it just make you smile?
Remember, because of the delicate picks, the glitter and embellishments, and the glue, these wreaths are best for indoor only. If you're jonesing for an outdoor wreath, it's best to stick with items that don't have glitter/glitz/embellishments, like silk flowers or plastic fruit.
I hope my wreath tutorial offered enough information to help you create your own beautiful wreath at home.
Remember, as always, the point is to have fun and play around! There are no right or wrong answers, only creativity to mess around with. That's the best.
Plus, unique, handmade gifts are always better than store-bought. Especially when they're this gorg.
Happy Crafting!
xo, Hayley
(Question go unanswered? Feel free to comment below and I'll reply ASAP with your wreath-making Q's)
(PS–Wanna save money?! Easy! All of the things I purchased for my wreaths were bought with coupons from my local craft store. Just search your craft store plus 'coupons' in Google and print out the latest ones–sometimes for up to 20% off your entire order, or 40% off single items–great for the more expensive bows, and the wreaths!)

You might notice that, inconsistently, you see security sandbox errors when you create things in Flash. To clarify 'odd time' — if I load a JPEG into a Loader I don't see the message, but if I load a JPEG into the ScrollPane I might see the message every 4/5 tests. Note: You only see the message in the Output panel (ie: in the test environment – when you Ctrl+Enter) – the SWF works in the test environment despite the message, and there is no message outside of the test environment.
I didn't pay it much attention, but did run across this blog post recently:
Therefore, if I load a JPEG from flash-mx.com and want to avoid seeing the message, I can add the following to the code:
Then you won't see anything in the Output panel.
So yes, pre-blogged but worthwhile nonetheless.

Well he is really intimating, like he dresses very well and he is very cute and its very bold in the way he flirts. I just met him two days ago, today when I came to wait for the other class to finish I saw him and he approached me again, he was sort of flirting with me again but I got scared and sort of ignored him, plus when my friend came to say hi I hugged him tightly and left with him. Now this guy won't even look at me. And now I am scared of talking to him.
Why do you think he ignores me? I know I made him jealous but don't you think it is too much for him to ignore me completely?
Most Helpful Guy
Wow...to be frank, you f***'d up REAL bad with that one.
If that were me, I'd pay you no more attention.
B/c you hugg'n a guy the way you did, would either signify that you're involved with him, or that your interest lies with him & not me, since you ignored me to tightly hug the other guy.
My advice to you is to tell him (yes, you must initiate, because he is NOT gonna initiate with you ever again) that you hugg'd the other dude that way out of nervousness & subconsciously tried to make him jealous. If you're interested in him, that's pretty much your only choice.
Hopefully you learned this valuable lesson: making guys jealous only makes you dead in their eyes. It's a HUGE sign of "immaturity".00|00|0

With the introduction of this bill, Rep. Alan Seabaugh, R-Shreveport, makes it clear that he doesn't care if LGBT citizens are ever discriminated against by employers. If passed, HB402 would prevent LGBT people from ever seeking judicial protection if they're refused hire, denied promotion, or fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
In Louisiana, nothing in the law explicitly protects LGBT people from employment discrimination. Under this bill, any lawsuit alleging wrongful termination based on a person's sexual orientation or gender identity would be automatically be dismissed as "frivolous," ensuring that all employers are free to discriminate without fear of civil action.
On behalf of PFLAG Greater Baton Rouge, I am asking the committee members to please make the right decision and vote against Seabaugh's HB402. The Legislature should not make it harder for anyone in Louisiana to keep a decent job and seek fair treatment at work.
This is America — "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

|Any open space
|Mob Type
These creatures can be called Rabbits or Bunnies. They are officially called bunnies.
Bunnies are passive mobs that can spawn in any open space, and can be picked up by right-clicking them, which will put them on your head. While riding a Horse, this results in a significant speed boost. If you are being chased by mobs, and you drop the bunny, the mobs will target the bunny instead of the player.
To tame a bunny, simply right-click it and it will ride on your head a "name your pet" sign will pop up. Right-click it again to put it down. There is no specific time you have to be holding it in order for it to become tamed, and unlike most other tameable mobs they will not follow you.
Bunnies can be bred by placing two tamed Bunnies of any color in the same enclosed area. They will then breed, spawning several new Bunnies (you will be alerted when a new one is made by a "popping" sound just like the noise made when a chicken lays an egg). As they reproduce quite rapidly, you should keep watch of your Bunny breeding programs as to not cause game lag or overflow. The colors of the baby bunnies also do not strictly represent the colors of their parents, and a baby bunny can have colors neither of its parents have.
